“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty,or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our calling and our creeds…[we will] have no time to think, no means of calling our miss-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers…And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from Principle in one instance becomes a precedent for [another ]…till the bulk of society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery…And the fore-horse of this frightful team is public debt.Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.”

Written by Thomas Jefferson in a letter from 1816

Supposedly, this was at the orders of Mr. Obama………I thought he would end up being wishy washy in his first confrontational crisis with outsiders. I fully expected him to dither and wonder why these people are the way they are, and wonder about their poor upbringing, and lack of education keeping them in a circle of violence and all that….

Instead, he only took several days worth of dithering to apparently let the Navy Seals do what they do best…..Kill people and break things.

That’s what we pay them for, and that’s what they train for. Were it up to me, I’d break both arms on the surviving pirate, shoot him in both kneecaps, and cut off his right hand (After all, he is a thief, and a muslim), then send him back to his pirate playmates with the instruction to tell them that this sort of thing will happen to pirates every time the US gets involved…..

But I doubt that the state department will let Mr. Obama do so, even were he able to conjure up the cojones to order it.

At least he appears to be stronger than Mr Carter was (like that would be hard…). But the world was watching this incident, and I doubt that they were greatly impressed with the handling of this. I wonder who else will try testing him, since he doesn’t appear to be very decisive or tough….

A better message from Thomas Paine via Fox News.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

If you read this blog, you have probably heard about the “Tea Party” protests scheduled for April 15th. I urge everyone to attend their nearest protest. Enough people attending will force the MSM to acknowledge and report on them. Only with this exposure will the movement begin to have an effect. Thus far, the MSM has essentially declined to report on the protests.

Taxed Enough Already. TEA.

If you can, I urge you to attend.

For a list of protests and locations, go to WWW.taxdayteaparty.com and find your most convenient location. Attend if you can. Tell others if you can. Go with friends. Have fun. Be safe. be loud, but don’t get arrested. But go.

I realize that most people reading this are likely employed, and attending a protest will be difficult because of work, but try, please.

I’ll be in Chicago that day, and I will attend that protest.

Please, attend and be heard.
