There is Nothing Like a Marine...

...or a Sailor, Airman, Soldier or Guardsman. For all our Military who stand on the line to keep us safe, I offer these thoughts and thanks today, after we have witnessed the blasphemies from DHS, Congress, Main Scream Media, most particularly Messrs. Immelt and Zucker, representing General Electric, CNN, NBC, the White House and, the ever present Dose of Pelosi, characterizing our patriotic rallies as 'astroturf' and our veterans as "violent, lunatic fringe, right wing extremist, domestic terrorists" even as they risk their own lives for us and for their country, over and over, deployment after deployment. To those whose ignorance and insensitivity will be their legacy, I say 'Shame On YOU!' and to those they have insulted, I say "Care not, for they are not worthy of wiping the sand from your boots." 99.99% of Americans appreciate, with awe and gratitude, the sacrifices our Military makes. It is best expressed, however, in these words, written by LCPL Chris Rogusky Lima Co. 3/25 USMC

There is nothing like a Marine.
His emotions are impenatrable, yet his shoulders are soft for those that need someone to lean on.
His hands are firm yet know exactly where they need to be.
If he has his arms wrapped around you, you're either in the last moments of your life or
The safest place you could ever be.
He's stubborn but will let you have your way just to see you smile.
He's deadly with a rifle and gentle with a child.
He plays poker with the devil but guards the gates of heaven.
He curses like no other but is a perfect gentleman.
He has a thousand yard stare, but when you look into his eyes it's the most comforting thing you've ever felt.
The Marine Corps trained him as a weapon but raised him as a lover.
He knows Every part of an M-16 as well as he knows every curve of his woman.
There is no other man like him.
Whether you love him or hate him both is a privilege.
He could be your worst nightmare or your sweetest dream.
He is a United States Marine.

And THAT'S The Dame Truth. Be Well, Stay Safe, and may God bless you all. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Tax Day Tea Parties Abound!

What a day! Both proud and sad, as hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans, labeled 'domestic terrorists' by Obama administration's DHS Secretary Napolitano, flocked to more than 700 cities today for mass demonstrations of patriotism and concern for their country. Watching FNC coverage of San Antonio, Atlanta, DC and New York rallies brought not tingles down the leg, but a pounding of the heart as we saw so many Americans come out to exercise their first amendment rights under their Constitution. From Atlas Shrugs, Colonel Allen B. West writes:

I have just finished reading Secretary Napolitano’s office declaring that, “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks”.As well, this report cites, “returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists, who will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities”.Align these statements with Barack Hussein Obama’s intentions to have wounded war veterans use private health insurance and you see the contempt this administration holds for those who protect and defend this Republic. We have an administration which declares we cannot call radical Islamic terrorists “enemy combatants”. We can no longer speak of a war on terror, only overseas contingency operations. However, this administration issues a report demonizing our heroic vets as potential terrorists and extremists! Perhaps those Navy SEAL snipers should be made aware that they are considered potential terrorists because of the skills they exhibited to save an American citizen. Oh by the way, a citizen held hostage by Muslim pirates, can you say Barbary? Jefferson sent the US Marines, what shall dear fearful leader Obama do?

Back to the report which contains countless references singling out returning war veterans as particular threats. Not only that, this report admonishes law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion, and federal taxes. Indeed, this report decries anyone who is concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion, and the loss of US sovereignty. In other words this means anyone holding conservative principles in opposition to left wing liberal socialist policies is a threat.

Atlas Shrugs's Pam Geller, who will appear on this Monday's "The Dame Truth" has done a fine job of covering not only the world at large and the ever growing threat of Islamic Ideology but the Tea Parties, is a champion of truth, First Amendment rights and American Patriotism, attending New York's Tea Party and reporting on many others with terrific photos, while Purple People Vote resonates what is undoubtedly the majority of Americans, no longer silent about their plight in sad state of affairs they once called Government.

In other news, this writer attended Mike Morgan's [of Lennar fame] web conference earlier today to learn more about his GoldmanSachs initiative--a brilliant attorney, investment advisor and activist, we can expect to hear more about his pledge to investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators of the Goldman Sachs heist.

What does all this mean? It means that Americans are indeed 'Mad as Hell and...not going to take it anymore." It means that the 99% who believe that the Tea Party Movement will continue to build with force are committed and passionate about their love of country and their belief that government should work FOR and BY the People. It means that we, as Americans, are at the tipping point, much as the French at the dawn of the Revolution there. Let the People speak, or let the tumbrils roll. It's up to you folks. Oh, and by the way, GE's NBC, Jeff Zucker and CNN--take heed. You're not in control. WE, the American People are, and always have been.
