“Freedom is never granted. It is earned by each generation… in the face of tyranny, cruelty, oppression, extremism, sometimes there is only one choice. When the world looks to America, America looks to you, and you never let her down.”~Hillary Clinton

To bad the same can't be said of her.

One of her speech writers gave her that quote. She doesn't have the passion, patriotism or love of country to come up with that herself.

As noted in his diary May 18, 1945:

"In my opinion, the American Army as it now exists could beat the Russians with the greatest of ease, because, while the Russians have good infantry, they are lacking in artillery, air, tanks, and in the knowledge of the use of the combined arms, whereas we excel in all three of these. If it should be necessary to fight the Russians, the sooner we do it the better."

I really want to travel. The bug has bitten me bad and I can't do anything about it at the moment. But sure do want to go. Maybe in the not too distant future.

Well I'm kind of anchored at the moment. And I agree. My boat will have a cannon or two.

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency.
