Merry Christmas to our heros where ever they are in this world and to all of their families who patiently await their safe return.
To the heros who have not returned safe and sound, we remember and honor your sacrifice and remain grateful and humbled.
We will never forget those who have given all to protect our pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. We are forever in your debt.
May God’s love shine down upon our guardians and may His angels keep and protect each of them just as our heros protect each of us.
Thank you and God Bless!
PS: Special thanks to HAL, the Marine Veteran who created the video and Michael Marks who wrote the poem. You’ve reminded us of the precious gift of freedom that has been given to each us by our volunteer soldiers and the price they pay to give it to us.
The folks at the Heritage Foundation put together this great video, We Still Hold These Truths. It very well done and inspirational. No doubt folks in the Tea Party will watch and say this is why I believe what I do. The narrator Matt Spalding has been on WMOX for our on-going series, The Heritage Hour, a couple of times and is really good. He also has book by the same name.

‘Nuf Said:
Script:
In a country, headed toward socialism, where the elitist few ran the government and did not govern for the people, but against them…
In a climate of arrogant words, never before seen flippant attitudes, photo ops, fake news stories, and continued out of control rhetoric…

No comment I could make would be as funny as this video of insightful thought from attendees at the Steware-Colbert Rally To Restore Sanity. You are welcome to give it a shot if you want…
I don’t want to be accused of fear-mongering, but some of these people may be future leaders.
Scared yet?
We listen to all the rhetoric. We witness the negative campaigning. Through it all, hopefully, we will find reality.
Tuesday’s elections will undoubtedly see substantial gains for Republicans. This alone is no cure for our present problems.
Besides the detrimental socialist legislations by our liberal Congress, we have other more deeply rooted problems. Corruption abounds on both sides of the aisle. Ethics, integrity and honesty are at a low point. Cronyism, PACs and lobbyist efforts have far too much influence in Washington.

Editor’s Note: The following piece was written by Rod Smith a Patriot Guard Rider. It arrived in my inbox this morning as an email and it deserves a bigger audience. It was written about the funeral of Sgt. Eric Newman held on Saturday, October 24, 2010. The funeral was held with full military honors, including a 21-gun salute. He was posthumously awarded not only the bronze star, but also the Purple Heart and several other medals for his exemplary service in the U.S. Army. Eric Newman, 30, was killed when a roadside bomb exploded Oct. 14 in Akatzai Kalay, Afghanistan. He married Charidy Newman last year, and was planning to become a state trooper after his career in the military was over. The introductory information I’ve included here came from the story about the funeral published by The Meridian Star.
I saw America today.
I was among more that 200 people gathered on the tarmac at the Meridian Air Navel Station to welcome Sgt. Eric C. Newman, 30, of Waynesboro , Miss. home from Afghanistan.
He did not exit to cheers and hugs but was greeted by respectful silence. Military men and women, bikers, policemen, firemen, all in formation riveted their attention as Sgt. Newman disembarked from the plane carrying him.
He exited in a flag draped coffin, killed in action in Afghanistan.

James P. Gannon recently wrote a piece for The American Spectator that simply is a must read.
One of the most striking things about this year’s political discourse (as if name-calling and wild accusations can be dignified with such a term) is that what used to be considered traditional and commonplace thinking is now labeled as extremism and bigotry. A few examples:
If you believe that the U.S. Constitution means only what it actually says, you are an extremist who ought to be wearing a powdered wig.
If you believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman, you are a homophobe and a bigot.
If you think people should not be allowed to break into our country illegally, then get free education, health care and jobs and to march in our streets to protest the violation of their “rights,” you are a racist, a xenophobe, and your state should be boycotted.

Director David Zucker writes and produces the hilarious but sad tale of Barbara Boxers disrespect of our Military. In the wonderful style of his great movies Airplane, Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2.5, Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, An American Carol, David hits to the core of Senator Boxers famous hearing.

In case you did not laugh enough at that, how about a few funny memories?
It is glaringly evident the modern day NAACP has abandoned the vision and dream of the Civil Rights Movements of years ago to join the liberal ‘fear mongering’ horde of politicians suddenly ‘running scared’. Dr. King would be appalled.
In doing so, they shamelessly betray blacks by trying to convince them they are victims in America based on race. This graphically identifies the NAACP as the ones who are truly ‘racists’ and not the Tea Parties they are trying to disparage. The NAACP’s so-called documented report that the tea parties are racist is part of their desperate, panic appeal to get out the vote campaign. With only two weeks remaining before the predicted democrat debacle at the polls, democrats are frantically attempting to fire up their lethargic base since their appeal is sagging.

In Part 2 of his series on what Tea Party Conservatives believe, Bill looks at the problems and dangers associated with elitism and elitist philosophy.
Those in the political fight and the market place of ideas should remember this quote from Theodore Roosevelt especially when the going gets tough:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt, April 23, 1910.
