My Social Studies teacher in the sixth grade once asked our class, “Why did the Jews not fight back against the Nazis?”
My Grandson’s sixth grade Socialism Studies teacher will ask him, “How do we know that Americans conversion to Socialism from Capitalism was unanimously adopted?”
The answer will be: because no one chose to fight back…
We are in a cold war against the left. Sure, they make it hot now and again, but hey they are harmless! WRONG…
Right now, the left controls 99% of the TV Media (100% of the “free media”), the White House, the Congress, South America, Asia, Europe, and they are one “accident” away from controlling the Supreme Court,
Rally up and fight Socialism, this is our last chance!

Text of President Barack Obama’s speech at Cairo University, as provided by CQ Transcriptions.
___
Good afternoon. I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has, had stood as a beacon of Islamic learning. And for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt’s advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress.
Beacon of learning how to hate all other religions…
I’m grateful for your hospitality and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. And I’m also proud to carry with me the good will of the American people and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: Assalamu-alaikum.
Instead of peace be upon you, how about “Ass-Kicking be upon you, you chose it, I will deliver it”?
We meet at a time of great tension between the United States and Muslims around the world, tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of coexistence and cooperation but also conflict and religious wars.
Dumbass, they attacked up on Sept 11, 2001. Policy debate? How about we are in a war!
More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims and a Cold War in which Muslim majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.
Proxy my ass, those people were stuck riding camels before we showed up. If it was not for our industrial needs, they would still be herding sand spiders.
Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims. The attacks of September 11, 2001, and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and western countries but also to human rights.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t they doing exactly what the Koran tells them to do???
All this has bred more fear and more mistrust. So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, those who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can help all of our people achieve justice and prosperity. And this cycle of suspicion and discord must end.
Our relationship is defined by their actions They use terrorism to get their way.
I’ve come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap and share common principles, principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.
I’ve come here to apologize for the greatness of America…
I do so recognizing that change cannot happen overnight. I know there’s been a lot of publicity about this speech, but no single speech can eradicate years of mistrust nor can I answer in the time that I have this afternoon all the complex questions that brought us to this point.
The MSM in America loves me, so this will be considered the greatest speech ever made no matter what I say…. “A priest and a Rabbi walk into a bar….”
But I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly to each other the things we hold in our hearts and that too often are said only behind closed doors. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other, to learn from each other, to respect one another, and to seek common ground.
They told us exactly how they felt on Sept 11, 2001. Not just the 19, but all of them!!!!!!!
As the Holy Quran tells us, Be conscious of God and speak always the truth.
It also tells them to cut our heads off if we do not convert to Islam. Which teaching should they follow? Both??
(APPLAUSE)
That is what I will try to do today, to speak the truth as best I can. Humbled by the task before us and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart.
As best as my teleprompter can.
Now, part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I’m a Christian. But my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk.
Wink, Wink I’m a Christian. I’ve avoided Israel like the Herpies.
As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith. As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam. It was Islam at places like Al-Azhar that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s renaissance and enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities…
Peace in Chicago?????? HA
(APPLAUSE)
It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra, our magnetic compass and tools of navigation, our mastery of pens and printing, our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires, timeless poetry and cherished music, elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.
This passage will get a fill 15 minutes on the show this week. Dumbass!
(APPLAUSE)
I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second president, John Adams, wrote,
Yeah, we’ve fought from the hills of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli!
The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims. And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States.
BS
They have fought in our wars. They have served in our government. They have stood for civil rights. They have started businesses. They have taught at our universities. They’ve excelled in our sports arenas. They’ve won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building and lit the Olympic torch. And when the first Muslim American was recently elected to
Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same holy Quran that one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, kept in his personal library.
Heck, we even have Muslim President now!
(APPLAUSE)
So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
LOL
(APPLAUSE)
But that same principle must apply to Muslim perceptions of America. Just as…
(APPLAUSE)
Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire.
And you have killed it in 6 months…
We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal. And we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words, within our borders and around the world.
BY GOD, not ALAHA
We are shaped by every culture. Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.
And don’t tread on me…
Now much has been made of the fact that an African-American with the name Barack Hussein Obama could be elected president.
You made it, dumbass.
(APPLAUSE)
But my personal story is not so unique. The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores. And that includes nearly 7 million American Muslims in our country today who, by the way, enjoy incomes and educational levels that are higher than the American average.
Stop talking about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today marks the 218th Birthday of James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States of America. President Buchanan is often referenced as the worse President in United States history. Good news for him, Barrack Obama will soon take that title.
President Buchanan was president from 1857-1861 (the four years before the Civil War). His opinion on the secession of States from the Union is an odd one. He said, “Secession is illegal, but fighting a war to stop it was illegal also.” Buchanan was from the North, but he was very sympathetic to the Southern cause of Slavery.
Buchanan was a man who was pro-slavery, backed the admittance of territories with legalized slavery, and did nothing to stop the succession of states. This led him to be a very popular member of the party of Slavery while becoming the most hated man of the party that wished to outlaw Slavery
Just so, you know, he was a Democrat.

As the years go by, the West has become immune to Islamic terror attacks. “This day in history” pages are full of recounts of terrorist attacks against the west, yet we act as if each “event” is an isolated occurrence.
Since September 11, 2001, more than 13,000 attacks have happened (Carried out by Islamic Terrorists).
13,000!?!?!?!?! Did you know that?
On this day in 1948, the Hadassah Medical Convoy massacre happened. 79 Jewish medical personnel were gunned down in cold blood while delivering supplies to Hadassah Hospital on Mount Scopus. Guess who attacked them…
If you guessed Islamic terrorists, you win!
Wake up before it is too late!

“Denmark’s A.P. Moller-Maersk confirmed that the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama had been attacked by pirates about 500 km (300 miles) off Somalia and had probably been hijacked. The company said it had 20 American crew on board.”
What, is it 1815 again?
Here is your chance Barrack. Show me you have what it takes to be a man and a President. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison put some foot to ass concerning Muslim piracy almost 200 years ago, what will you do?
The last time a US ship was captured by Muslim Pirates, America left the war with “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”
Bet you didn’t know that J
What will America leave with now? Your guess is as good as mine…

“Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.” Abraham Lincoln
Barrack Obama sure does love Lincoln. Perhaps Lincoln knew that one day; this saying could save the Republic that he died preserving. I do not know Barrack Obama; I only see his actions and hear his words.
His words have a calming affect on most people it seems. With a grin and a wink, he can herd the masses to the local cliff for a quick jump. People call that leadership; I call it dangerous. Under this definition of leadership, one could call Jim Jones a great leader. Just because the shadow casts him as a leader, does that make him a leader?
Obama is a leader by default; nature will not allow a vacuum.
Let us look at the issues that face our country and see where he stands.
Spending of our government is out of control. Obama triples it. That is not leadership; it is stupidity. There is a problem. He is anointed the “leader” of the free world and whatever direction he points the ship of prosperity we are all destined to stay on the voyage. There are no port calls, there are no lifeboats, there is no one to call for help, there is only us.
We are on this ship together until it sinks, runs aground, or reaches its final destination. Reagan’s destination of the “shining city on a hill” is no longer our destination. Our new destination is a place in the sty sucking on the nipple of the government for our basic needs.
People around the world are jealous of what he have and done. This will never change. The people of the United States have battled these same envious bastards since day one of our country’s founding. The Germans, French, British, Spanish, Mexicans, Cubans, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Italians, Chinese, and now an entire religion that spans the globe threaten our way of life. As an American man, father and husband I say it is time to pull off the gloves and show them for the last time that we have “evolved” more in the last two thousand years and we are tired of taking crap for excellence. Glowing cities of glass dotting the Middle East would not bother me one bit. However, our “leader” feels the need to talk and make nice with those whose entire belief system promotes slavery, blind obedience, and killing innocent people in the name of a religion. Excuse me, in the span of human history, has talking and making nice with your sworn enemy ever worked? Note to Congress, please raise Obama’s pay; he needs to buy a clue.
The war is not over; there is a lull in fighting. Most Americans stick out their chest and smile because we spanked them in Iraq and Afghanistan. We did, but there is much to do and plenty of butts left to kick. Remember, the Crusades lasted for almost two hundred years. It will take us two hundred years to defeat this group or two days. How far are the American people willing to go? Remember, the victor writes history. We need either to win or stop fighting. Spinning wheels gets you nowhere and causes many deaths. My biggest fear is this: mushroom cloud over the United States will happen. Then what will we do? Will we fight, will we give up, or like 9/11; will we hold hands and then forget?

On this day in 2003, the United States opened a can of Whip Ass on Iraq.
History will prove Bush right on this one, no matter what the talking heads of our time say today.
Remember 9/11/2001?
Attack Afganistan, cowards run and hide. We have to fight them at some point, either here or there.
Bush orders the US Military to attack Iraq to force the hand of the terrorists. It works! For six years we have killed thousands of would-be terrorists in Iraq rather than on American soil. We saw what happens when Firemen and Cops fight the war on terrror (9/11/2001).
Arn’t you happy that our Military is fighting them over there istead of your local police force fighting them in your neck of the woods???

Okay, we all know the South lost the Civil War, but we need to learn one thing from their Constitution.
It included a LINE ITEM VETO!
The Confederate Constitution was signed on this day 148 years ago. Imagine that, people living six generations ago KNEW a line item veto was a smart move.
I wish we would learn something from those who lived before us!

JFK is often the poster child for the American Left. Why they do not use Woodrow Wilson as their poster child for the Liberal Cause tells us a lot. Liberals are scared the American people will truly see what Liberals do to America and it’s citizens.
Do you know Woodrow Wilson?
If you are a conservative, you should.
Woodrow Wilson was the twenty-eight President of the United States. He served from 1913-1921. Some scholars rank him as one of the Greatest Presidents of All Time. I however do not…
Let me put it this way, a liberal President with a liberal Congress give us-
Revenue Act of 1913
This Act reinstituted the Federal Income Tax. It passed the House 281-139 and the Senate 44-37. 325 liberals screwed us in 1913 and WE have not fixed their mistake in the last 96 years.
Why discuss Woodrow Wilson Today? Easy, today marks the 92nd anniversary of Woodrow Wilson’s speech were he outlined “Peace without Victory” in Europe.
Below is the speech, with my commentary…ENJOY!
On the 18th of December last, I addressed an identic note to the governments of the nations now at war requesting them to state, more definitely than they had yet been stated by either group of belligerents, the terms upon which they would deem it possible to make peace. I spoke on behalf of humanity and of the rights of all neutral nations like our own, many of whose most vital interests the war puts in constant jeopardy.
Please make peace, PLEASE!
The Central Powers united in a reply which stated merely that they were ready to meet their antagonists in conference to discuss terms of peace. The Entente Powers have replied much more definitely and have stated, in general terms, indeed, but with sufficient definiteness to imply details, the arrangements, guarantees, and acts of reparation which they deem to be indispensable conditions of a satisfactory settlement. We are that much nearer a definite discussion of the peace which shall end the present war. We are that much nearer the discussion of the international concert which must thereafter hold the world at peace.
Blah Blah Blah, more liberal crap… Appeasers, I hate these guys.
In every discussion of the peace that must end this war, it is taken for granted that that peace must be followed by some definite concert of power which will make it virtually impossible that any such catastrophe should ever overwhelm us again. Every lover of mankind, every sane and thoughtful man must take that for granted.
The strong make peace, weakness leads to war.
I have sought this opportunity to address you because I thought that I owed it to you, as the council associated with me in the final determination of our international obligations, to disclose to you without reserve the thought and purpose that have been taking form in my mind in regard to the duty of our government in the days to come, when it will be necessary to lay afresh and upon a new plan the foundations of peace among the nations.
Make love not war.
It is inconceivable that the people of the United States should play no part in that great enterprise. To take part in such a service will be the opportunity for which they have sought to prepare themselves by the very principles and purposes of their polity and the approved practices of their government ever since the days when they set up a new nation in the high and honorable hope that it might, in all that it was and did, show mankind the way to liberty.
Token to our patriotism; I kind of like this paragraph.
They cannot in honor withhold the service to which they are now about to be challenged. They do not wish to withhold it. But they owe it to themselves and to the other nations of the world to state the conditions under which they will feel free to render it.
The cause of good should never act under certain conditions.
That service is nothing less than this, to add their authority and their power to the authority and force of other nations to guarantee peace and justice throughout the world. Such a settlement cannot now be long postponed. It is right that before it comes, this government should frankly formulate the conditions upon which it would feel justified in asking our people to approve its formal and solemn adherence to a League for Peace. I am here to attempt to state those conditions.
Adherence to a League for Peace? We don’t even adhere to our Constitution!
The present war must first be ended; but we owe it to candor and to a just regard for the opinion of mankind to say that, so far as our participation in guarantees of future peace is concerned, it makes a great deal of difference in what way and upon what terms it is ended. The treaties and agreements which bring it to an end must embody terms which will create a peace that is worth guaranteeing and preserving, a peace that will win the approval of mankind, not merely a peace that will serve the several interests and immediate aims of the nations engaged. We shall have no voice in determining what those terms shall be, but we shall, I feel sure, have a voice in determining whether they shall be made lasting or not by the guarantees of a universal covenant; and our judgment upon what is fundamental and essential as a condition precedent to permanency should be spoken now, not afterwards when it may be too late.
Blah, Blah, Blah… Treaties do not end and prevent wars, only total victory does!
No covenant of cooperative peace that does not include the peoples of the New World can suffice to keep the future safe against war; and yet there is only one sort of peace that the peoples of America could join in guaranteeing. The elements of that peace must be elements that engage the confidence and satisfy the principles of the American governments, elements consistent with their political faith and with the practical convictions which the peoples of America have once for all embraced and undertaken to defend.
Safe against war? That is easy; defeat all your enemies and do not stop until everyone is kissing America’s ass.
I do not mean to say that any American government would throw any obstacle in the way of any terms of peace the governments now at war might agree upon or seek to upset them when made, whatever they might be. I only take it for granted that mere terms of peace between the belligerents will not satisfy even the belligerents themselves. Mere agreements may not make peace secure. It will be absolutely necessary that a force be created as a guarantor of the permanency of the settlement so much greater than the force of any nation now engaged, or any alliance hitherto formed or projected, that no nation, no probable combination of nations, could face or withstand it. If the peace presently to be made is to endure, it must be a peace made secure by the organized major force of mankind.
No sir, peace is only achieved via VICTORY.
The terms of the immediate peace agreed upon will determine whether it is a peace for which such a guarantee can be secured. The question upon which the whole future peace and policy of the world depends is this: Is the present war a struggle for a just and secure peace, or only for a new balance of power? If it be only a struggle for a new balance of power, who will guarantee, who can guarantee the stable equilibrium of the new arrangement? Only a tranquil Europe can be a stable Europe. There must be, not a balance of power but a community power; not organized rivalries but a organized, common peace.
Again, you can guarantee peace when you eliminate the enemy.
Fortunately we have received very explicit assurances on this point. The statesmen of both of the groups of nations now arrayed against one another have said, in terms that could not be misinterpreted, that it was no part of the purpose they had in mind to crush their antagonists. But the implications of these assurances may not be equally to all–may not be the same on both sides of the water. I think it will be serviceable if I attempt to set forth what we understand them to be.
Ha, they promise peace! Like every liberal, you were proven wrong in 1938.
They imply, first of all, that it must be a peace without victory. It is not pleasant to say this. I beg that I may be permitted to put my own interpretation upon it and that it may be understood that no other interpretation was in my thought. I am seeking only to face realities and to face them without soft concealments. Victory would mean peace forced upon the loser, a victor’s terms imposed upon the vanquished. It would be accepted in humiliation, under duress, at an intolerable sacrifice, and would leave a sting, a resentment, a bitter memory upon which terms of peace would rest, not permanently but only as upon quicksand. Only a peace between equals can last. Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit. The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations, is as necessary for a lasting peace as is the just settlement of vexed questions of territory or of racial and national allegiance.
At this point, you should be impeached for being an idiot.
The equality of nations upon which peace must be founded if it is to last must be an equality of rights; the guarantees exchanged must neither recognize nor imply a difference between big nations and small, between those that are powerful and those that are weak. Right must be based upon the common strength, not upon the individual strength, of the nations upon whose concert peace will depend. Equality of territory or of resources there of course cannot be; nor any other sort of equality not gained in the ordinary peaceful and legitimate development of the peoples themselves. But no one asks or expects anything more than an equality of rights. Mankind is looking now for freedom of life, not for equipoises of power.
Common strength? Would you like some Vodka comrade?
And there is a deeper thing involved than even equality of right among organized nations. No peace can last, or ought to last, which does not recognize and accept the principle that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed, and that no right anywhere exists to hand peoples about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were property. I take it for granted, for instance, if I may venture upon a single example, that statesmen everywhere are agreed that there should be a united, independent, and autonomous Poland, and that, henceforth, inviolable security of life, of worship, and of industrial and social development should be guaranteed to all peoples who have lived hitherto under the power of governments devoted to a faith and purpose hostile to their own.
No sir! The power you refer to is taken, just like taxing us, you steal and we can’t defend ourself.
I speak of this, not because of any desire to exalt an abstract political principle which has always been held very dear by those who have sought to build up liberty in America but for the same reason that I have spoken of the other conditions of peace which seem to me clearly indispensable because I wish frankly to uncover realities. Any peace which does not recognize and accept this principle will inevitably be upset. It will not rest upon the affections or the convictions of mankind. The ferment of spirit of whole populations will fight subtly and constantly against it, and all the world will sympathize. The world can be at peace only if its life is stable, and there can be no stability where the will is in rebellion, where there is not tranquility of spirit and a sense of justice, of freedom, and of right.
You speak this because you are a liberal and hate America.
So far as practicable, moreover, every great people now struggling toward a full development of its resources and of its powers should be assured a direct outlet to the great highways of the sea. Where this cannot be done by the cession of territory, it can no doubt be done by the neutralization of direct rights of way under the general guarantee which will assure the peace itself. With a right comity of arrangement, no nation need be shut away from free access to the open paths of the world’s commerce.
Again, peace only happens when victory is achieved.
And the paths of the sea must alike in law and in fact be free. The freedom of the seas is the sine qua non of peace, equality, and cooperation. No doubt a somewhat radical reconsideration of many of the rules of international practice hitherto thought to be established may be necessary in order to make the seas indeed free and common in practically all circumstances for the use of mankind, but the motive for such changes is convincing and compelling. There can be no trust or intimacy between the peoples of the world without them. The free, constant, unthreatened intercourse of nations is an essential part of the process of peace and of development. It need not be difficult either to define or to secure the freedom of the seas if the governments of the world sincerely desire to come to an agreement concerning it.
Want peace, destroy your enemy!
It is a problem closely connected with the limitation of naval armaments and the cooperation of the navies of the world in keeping the seas at once free and safe. And the question of limiting naval armaments opens the wider and perhaps more difficult. question of the limitation of armies and of all programs of military preparation. Difficult and delicate as these questions are, they must be faced with the utmost candor and decided in a spirit of real accommodation if peace is to come with healing in its wings, and come to stay.
Blah, Blah, Blah
Peace cannot be had without concession and sacrifice. There can be no sense of safety and equality among the nations if great preponderating armaments are henceforth to continue here and there to be built up and maintained. The statesmen of the world must plan for peace, and nations must adjust and accommodate their policy to it as they have planned for war and made ready for pitiless contest and rivalry. The question of armaments, whether on land or sea, is the most immediately and intensely practical question connected with the future fortunes of nations and of mankind.
No sir! There is no question concerning arms! They key is to be better armed than your enemy!
I have spoken upon these great matters without reserve and with the utmost explicitness because it has seemed to me to be necessary if the world’s yearning desire for peace was anywhere to find free voice and utterance. Perhaps I am the only person in high authority among all the peoples of the world who is at liberty to speak and hold nothing back. I am speaking as an individual, yet I am speaking also, of course, as the responsible head of a great government, and I feel confident that I have said what the people of the United States would wish me to say.
Your speaking as a liberal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May I not add that I hope and believe that I am in effect speaking for liberals and friends of humanity in every nation and of every program of liberty? I would fain believe that I am speaking for the silent mass of mankind everywhere who have as yet had no place or opportunity to speak their real hearts out concerning the death and ruin they see to have come already upon the persons and the homes they hold most dear.
Blah, Blah, Blah……….go hug a tree!
And in holding out the expectation that the people and government of the United States will join the other civilized nations of the world in guaranteeing the permanence of peace upon such terms as I have named I speak with the greater boldness and confidence because it is clear to every man who can think that there is in this promise no breach in either our traditions or our policy as a nation, but a fulfillment, rather, of all that we have professed or striven for.
America will not be joining the world and guarantee peace, we will make peace through COMPLETE VICTORY!
I am proposing, as it were, that the nations should with one accord adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doctrine of the world: that no nation should seek to extend its polity over any other nation or people, but that every people should be left free to determine its own polity, its own way of development–unhindered, unthreatened, unafraid, the little along with the great and powerful.
The only time a liberal sounds smart is when he agrees with something conservative!
I am proposing that all nations henceforth avoid entangling alliances which would draw them into competitions of power, catch them in a net of intrigue and selfish rivalry, and disturb their own affairs with influences intruded from without. There is no entangling alliance in a concert of power. When all unite to act in the same sense and with the same purpose, all act in the common interest and are free to live their own lives under a common protection.
Common protection comrade Wilson?
I am proposing government by the consent of the governed; that freedom of the seas which in international conference after conference representatives of the United States have urged with the eloquence of those who are the convinced disciples of liberty; and that moderation of armaments which makes of armies and navies a power for order merely, not an instrument of aggression or of selfish violence.
Blah, Blah, Blah
These are American principles, American policies. We could stand for no others. And they are also the principles and policies of forward-looking men and women everywhere, of every modern nation, of every enlightened community. They are the principles of mankind and must prevail.
These are the liberal principles, not American principles or policy. You sir are the poster child for liberalism!
There you have it, even through history, liberals are idiots!

Here in the Garage, we salute everyday Americans for their contributions to our way of life.
Today’s Blog will focus on the actions of a twenty six (26) year old man.
Picture this…
You are a twenty six year old sitting in an airplane getting ready to jump into the arms of an enemy waiting to kill you. While over the drop area, your plane comes under heavy fire and you are told to jump. Your jump begins badly; the plane was going to fast and was way to low. The cold air hits your face interrupted by your weapon tearing away from you and falling into the black abyss below. Your chute opens slowing your fall to certain death.
You land unarmed and behind enemy lines. The only light is from the AA guns firing at your fellow troops overhead. You are alone, your cold, and the sound of heavy weapons rip through the night like a thunderstorm without the rain.
You find other troopers and make your way to the rally point unarmed and unafraid. You are an American Paratrooper on June 6, 1944.
After a rough morning, your orders come down-“There’s fire along that hedgerow there. Take care of it.”
What would you do?
Would you freeze?
Would you ask questions?
Would you call your Congressman?
On the other hand, would you rally some fellow troopers and head to battle?
Imagine you head to battle with 13 men. You get to the hedgerow and find-
Four 105mm Artillery pieces
60 German Soldiers
Think quickly, 13 men depend on you and the lives of thousands of men landing at Utah beach are on your shoulders. Hard to imagine? This was reality at Brécourt Manor on June 6, 1944 for a twenty six year old American.
Fog of war-details are up to you to find, it is a good read.
Simply put, you succeed; you are an American.
You find a map showing the placement of every German Artillery Unit in North Western France; you are an American
For your actions, you are nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor, but downplay the event; you are a humble American.
Medals awarded for the attack on Brécourt Manor-
