"This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not We the People reclaim control over our government." –Donald J. Trump
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.__________We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.__That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,__That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.__Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world._____He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good._____He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them._____He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only._____He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures._____He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people._____He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within._____He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands._____He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers._____He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries._____He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance._____He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures._____He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power._____He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:__For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:__For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:__For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:__For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:__For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:__For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:__For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:__For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:__For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever._____He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us._____He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people._____He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation._____He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands._____He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.__
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do._____And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Joe Bell, 95, had come out on the drizzly morning to cheer on the runners in the 8-kilometer race from downtown San Jose to Santana Row. The event's charity partner is the Pat Tillman Foundation, which funds scholarships for military veterans and their spouses.
The runners, in turn, showed their appreciation for Bell's long-ago service, detouring from the course to shake his hand.
Perhaps Øliar should "promise" Mexico, "If you like our Marine, you can keep our Marine, period!" Then, undoubtedly, Sgt. Tahmooressi would be freed from this nightmare tomorrow.
Øliar has already kept our Marine on a secret waiting list for 53 days. Will Øliar "not stand for it" and "not tolerate it, period!" now?
hen the Georgia House passes the application, the Senate secretary will transmit copies of it to the presiding officers of each of the legislative houses in the several states, requesting their cooperation.
[T]he General Assembly of the State of Georgia hereby applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the Constitution of the United States, for the calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the United States Constitution that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.
Since the states control everything that happens in their convention, and three-fourths of them must ratify whatever amendments it proposes before they become adopted, there's no danger of a so-called runaway convention that ends up fundamentally transforming our Constitution into Øbamarx's ejaculate-crustified copy of the The Communist Manifesto.
For now, this appears the best alternative to some short-lived Civil War II in which beta/blue states wind up conquered and occupied by alpha/red ones.
“Everywhere you look, there’s more evidence that ObamaCare was fundamentally broken even before it started. And while our citizens bear the brunt of the law, it seems like big corporations and special interests have gotten exempted. Even Members of Congress are getting preferential treatment, yet everyday Virginians, of whom I am privileged to count myself, are paying the costs and experiencing diminished freedoms.
“President Obama’s ideas are deeply flawed and the implementation of this law has been a national embarrassment. Let me be plain, the law that carries the President’s name is the hallmark of a reckless federal government that has lost its way.
“As Attorney General of a Commonwealth which was one of our nation’s first 13 colonies, and the birthplace of American democracy, I’ll never stand by and watch as our hard fought freedoms are taken away.
“We can do better. We need to provide flexibility and choice within our health care system. Our citizens shouldn’t be forced to choose insurance providers and doctors who’ve been preselected by government bureaucrats. We need to open up the insurance market and allow cross state purchase of insurance to drive competition and lower premiums.
“Physicians are fleeing Medicaid because they’re paid so little and have to spend more time completing regulatory paperwork, time they would rather spend treating their patients. Our citizens should be able to choose the health care providers who they believe will provide the best care for their needs, and we shouldn’t have to make our healthcare decisions with 16,000 IRS agents looming as the ObamaCare enforcers.
“Most importantly, we need to reverse the perverse incentives that have raised the cost of insurance premiums and have forced employers to drop health care benefits and full-time jobs in order to stay in business.
“Our health care system should be transparent at all levels and provide pricing to inform and empower American families.
“We should support market based solutions for health care reform and empower patients free of government control.”
"A few more such victories would have shortly put an end to RINØcrat Washington Establishment dominion in America."
E
ven before defecting to the Reid Coats for good — his own good, that is — Johnedict McCainold repeatedly denounced and undermined "his" side's committed effort to manly stand up and fight for the American people and their freedoms against the present forces of tyranny marching out to crush them. "I've expressed my deep distress throughout this process," he whimpered. "I've said from the beginning that I knew how this was going to end. We weren't going to defeat so major and obvious A Crime Against human dignity, equality, and liberty." It was a shame, really, because the heroic deeds he performed years ago in service to his country will be overshadowed, forevermore, by his unforgivable treachery.
Patriot soldiers, meanwhile, took positions atop a hill overlooking the enemy-occupied Capitol. Even so, they proposed compromise after reasonable compromise in attempts to end the showdown peacefully. However, each time they did the Reid Coats absolutely refused to negotiate with their leaders, calling them "anarchists," "hostage takers," "arsonists," "terrorists," and other outrageously improper names. As the enemy had hoped, Johnedict McCainold and his summer soldiers and sunshine patriots, easily overpowered by deathly fear of the latest public opinion poll, were cowered by those false labels and, losing heart, deserted; which left the defenders of American liberty even more outnumbered. Yet those who remained carried on the fight undaunted, each of their hearts quickened by overpowering love of freedom.
Wave upon wave of Reid Coats marched up the hill. But their extremely rigid company fronts made them exceptionally vulnerable to the true aim and withering fire of the Patriot soldiers. Also, the more casualties they suffered the more vindictive they became. Except they could not take out their frustrations on the defenders of Liberty facing them. The Reid Coats had to instead exact their revenge on a civilian population they were already treating as expendable pawns, trapped behind their lines and always at their nonexistent mercy. There, after tossing aside every convention of civilized warfare, they committed the cruelest atrocities.
Among the untold number of innocents the Reid Coats had singled out and subjected to the most viscous assaults were the grieving families of fallen Soldiers, elderly Veterans confined to wheelchairs, and even children stricken with cancer. The populous was horrified and became rightly enraged. Not a few of the less heartless Reid Coats were themselves disgusted by the barbarism of their superiors' clearly unjust orders. Now the Reid Coats were facing disapproval and opposition from both the front and the rear. But by that time they had frightened or enticed enough spineless lowlifes into defecting to their side — including one very high-ranking treasonous coward they outright bought off — that they could finally launch a successful attack against the freedom fighters' hilltop position. So, with their newfound loyalists in tow, the Reid Coats marched.
A few hours later it was all over. The Reid Coats had seized the top of the blood drenched hill. They declared victory and returned to occupy the Capitol. While Patriot soldiers were regrouping, the Reid Coats increasingly brutalized the recalcitrant citizenry.
Although America was in store for further suffering at the beastly hands of the spiteful Ried Coats, in the end the Patriots would have their Dorchester Heights and, yes, their Yorktown.
Even up against the twin evils of tyranny and injustice, an America of, by, and for all Americans, by the grace of God, always overcomes and prevails.
f that Teh Horror™! means We the People's true representatives in Congress get to smite and forever bury Demøtyrants' Øfascist"Care" just as We the People demand, We the People won't mind living in a rare state of unabridged Freedom for a few weeks or months before having to "live" again under this government's unending tyranny.
Teh Horror™!
Except, without Demøtyrants' Øfascist"Care", this government's unending tyranny won't be as utterly intolerable as it would be with it.
Teh Horror™!
...only for Demøtyrants and their Øfascist"Care", that is.
o, Mr. Present. They aren't "bumps in the road." They're heroes who died fighting al-Qaeda terrorists emboldened by weakness you did build in a more destabilized Middle East you made happen.
The president's policies have made it harder to recover from the deepest recession in seventy years, exposed the military to cuts that no one can justify, compromised our national-security secrets, and in dealings with other nations, he has given trust where it is not earned, insult where it was not deserved, and apology where it is not due.
From Berlin to Cairo to the United Nations, President Obama has shared his view of America and its place among nations. I've come here today to share mine.
I am an unapologetic believer in the greatness of America. I am not ashamed of American power. I take pride that throughout history our power has brought justice where there was tyranny, peace where there was conflict, and hope where there was affliction and despair. I do not view America as just one more place on the map, one more power to be balanced. I believe our country is the greatest force for good the world has ever known, and that our influence is needed today as ever before....
A just and peaceful world depends on a strong and confident America....
Now our leadership depends, as it always has, on our economic strength, on our military strength, and on our moral strength. If any one of those falters, no skill of diplomacy or presidential oratory can compensate. And today, as you know, the strength of our economy is in jeopardy.
A healthy American economy is what underwrites American power. When growth is missing, government revenues fall, social spending rises, and many in Washington look to cut defense spending as the easy way out. That includes our current president....
Strategy is not driving the president's massive defense cuts. In fact, his own Secretary of Defense warned that these reductions would be "devastating." And he's right.
And that devastation would start here at home. Mark my words: Those cuts would only weaken an already stretched VA system and our solemn commitment that every veteran receives care second to none. If I am President of the United States, I will not let that happen.
This is no time for the president's radical cuts in our military.... The regime in Tehran is drawing closer to developing a nuclear weapon. The threat of radical Islamic terrorism persists. The threat of weapons of mass destruction proliferation is ever-present. And we're still at war and still have uniformed men and women in conflict.
All this and more is going on in the world. And yet the president has chosen this moment for wholesale reductions in the nation's military capacity. When the biggest announcement in the last state of the union address on improving our military was the Pentagon will start using more clean energy, then you know it's time for a change....
Lives of American servicemen and women are at stake. But astonishingly, the administration failed to change its ways. More top-secret operations were leaked, even some involving covert action going on in Iran.
This isn't a partisan issue; it's a national security crisis. Just yesterday, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein, who's chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said, and I quote, "I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks." End of quote.
This conduct is contemptible. It betrays our national interest. It compromises our men and women in the field. And it demands a full and prompt investigation by a special counsel, with explanation and consequence. Obama appointees who are accountable to President Obama's attorney general should not be responsible for investigating the leaks coming from the Obama White House.
Whoever provided classified information to the media, seeking political advantage for the administration, must be exposed, dismissed, and punished. The time for stonewalling is over....
And let me be very clear: These events make the decision we face in November all the more important. What kind of White House would reveal classified material for political gain?...
The operating principle of American foreign policy has been to work with our allies so that we can deter aggression before it breaks out into conflict. That policy depends on nurturing our alliances and standing up for our values.
Yet the president's moved in the opposite direction.
It began with the sudden abandonment of our friends in Poland and the Czech Republic. They'd courageously agreed to provide sites for anti-missile defense systems, only to be told, at the last hour, that the agreement was off. As part of the so-called reset in policy, missile defenses were sacrificed as a unilateral concession to the Russian government.
And if that gesture was designed to inspire good will from Russia, it clearly missed the mark. The Russian government defended the dictator in Damascus, arming him as he slaughtered the Syrian people.
We can only guess what Vladimir Putin makes of the Obama administration. He regained the Russian presidency in a corrupt election, and for that, he got a congratulatory call from the Oval Office. And then there was that exchange picked up by a microphone that President Obama didn't know was on. We heard him asking Dmitry Medvedev to tell Mr. Putin to give him "space." "This is my last election," he said. "After my election I'll have more flexibility."
Why is it that flexibility with Russian leaders is more important to him than transparency for the American people?...
[T]his is the president who faltered when the Iranian people were looking for support in their struggle against the ayatollahs. That public uprising was treated as an inconvenient problem for the president's policy of engagement, instead of a moral and strategic opportunity. That terrible misjudgment should never be repeated. When unarmed women and men in Tehran find the courage to confront their oppressors, at risk of torture and death, they should hear the unequivocal voice of an American president affirming their right to be free....
President Obama is fond of lecturing Israel's leaders. He was even caught by a microphone deriding them. He's undermined their position, which was tough enough as it was. And even at the United Nations, to the enthusiastic applause of Israel's enemies, he spoke as if our closest ally in the Middle East was the problem.
The people of Israel deserve better than what they've received from the leader of the free world. And the chorus of accusations and threats and insults at the United Nations should never again include the voice of the President of the United States.
There are values and causes and nations that depend on American strength, on the clarity of our purpose, and on the reliability of our commitments. There is work in this world that only America and our allies can do, hostile powers that only we can deter, and challenges that only we can overcome....
I've been critical of the president's decision to withdraw the surge troops during the fighting season against the advice of commanders on the ground. The president would have you believe that anyone who disagrees with his decision is arguing for endless war. But the route to more war — and potentially to attacks here at home — is a politically timed retreat....
It's a mistake — and sometimes a tragic one — to think that firmness in American foreign policy can only bring tension or conflict. The surest path to danger is always weakness and indecision. In the end, it's resolve that moves events in our direction, and strength that keeps the peace.
I will not surrender America's leadership in the world. We must have confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might.
This is very simple: If you don't want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I'm not your president. But with his cuts to the military, you have that president today.
The twenty-first century can and must be an American Century. It began with terror, war, economic calamity. It's our duty to steer it onto the path of freedom and peace and prosperity.
Fewer members of the Greatest Generation are with us here today — and they can't hold the torch as high as they have in the past; they're getting older. It's now our turn: We've got to seize that torch they've carried so gallantly and at such great sacrifice. It's an eternal torch of decency and freedom and hope. It's not America's torch alone. But it's America's duty and honor to hold it high enough so the whole world can see it.
I love America. I love what America represents. I love the sacrifice America has made for Freedom throughout the world.
This is a critical time for our nation — a time of choice. The time to determine what America is going to be over this century. You know where I will lead it: We will have another American Century with freedom blossoming and prosperity for all of our citizens, because I believe in America. I believe in you.
I salute you. And together we'll make sure we keep America the hope of the earth.
Thank you so very much. And God bless the VFW and the United States of America.
ndrew Breitbart, the dearest friend and strongest champion of American Liberty, whose good deeds and faithful service made him throughout this struggle her most capable standard-bearer, died in Los Angeles shortly after midnight.
His wife and four children are in our prayers, as are the other members of his family. We are praying, too, for all his friends and colleagues as well as for the rest of us on behalf of whom and of whose unalienable rights he so ably fought.
In recent years, no other American has been farthest ahead on the front line of our battle with the domestic enemies of Americans' personal freedoms, or deepest in its trenches.
What he did was to make, and has made our lives, liberties, and pursuits of happiness all the better and more hopeful.
Goodbye, Patriot.
I am thankful we the lovers of American Liberty now have a line of advance, which you made so well and clear, all of us can and, for her sake, must continue to follow.

efeated RINØcrats et al., focus on something other than yourselves for a change. Like our country:
Take a deep breath and this advice from that wise momma grizzly of what is truly our common cause and struggle:
We have some great common sense conservatives who are putting it all on the line. These candidates and their supporters, fighting, fighting for what is right — and a lot of them just fought some tough primary battles.
That's good. Contested primaries are good. It's good for the system. It's great for voters: Democracy at work. Competition is good.
Healthy competition breeds success, and it makes us all work harder; and this all rebuilds character.
But the time for primary debate is over. It's time for unity now. That's the time upon us, because the time for choosing is near.
In just 46 days Republicans will put their ideas and their experience on the line, and they'll let the voters decide.
