"Elegy for a Dead Soldier" by Karl Shapiro

"Underneath this wooden cross there lies
A Christian killed in battle.  You who read
Remember that this stranger died in pain;
And passing here, if you can lift your eyes
Upon a peace kept by human creed
Know that one soldier has not died in vain."

"Ameritopia"

In Mark Levin's book, "Ameritopia" is this quote: "America has become a society in which the people are wise enough to select their own leaders, but too incompetent to choose the right lightbulb."  Think about that!

Apologize????

American troops found Taliban prisoners using copies of the Korhan to communicate with each other by writing messages in the "holy" pages (which is desecration to Muslims) so they burned them.  Demonstrations in the streets prompted Obama to apologize to their president for our troops doing that.  WHY DID HE NOT DEMAND AN APOLOGY FOR THE KILLING OF TWO AMERICAN SOLDIERS BY AN AFGHAN SOLDIER JUST THE DAY BEFORE???  WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE???  John Wayne once had a line in a movie,"Never apologize, it's a sign of weakness".  Man, is our President ever WEAK!

Tom Jefferson got it right

Today's Washington is exactly what Jefferson was talking about when he penned these words:  "All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body.  The concentrating these in the same hands is precisely the definition of despotic government.  It will be no alleviation that these powers will be exercised by a plurality of hands and not by a single one.  One hundred and seventy-three despots would surely be as despotic as one... As little will it avail us that they are cjosen by ourselves.  An elective despotism was not the government we fought for....."

Evasion-Coverup-outright Lies

The man from Chicago-Eric Holder, Attorney General of this United States is sticking it to the American people and defying the Congress by refusing them access to thousands of documents concerning the Gun-Running scheme known as "Fast and Furious".  According to Holder,"Nobody knew anything, nobody heard anything, and nobody did anything in his office."  That is only a sample of what top law enforcement is today.  Oh yes.  Guess who got fired----a couple of guys in Phoenix!

State of the Union?

What we heard from Obama Last night was not the State of the Union but what he would like us to do for him.  The first word out of his mouth was "I".  He wants to be reelected so badly that he will ignore any facts and tell any lies, and make any promise to accomplish that.
Pres. Jefferson was no orator, he mumbled in his speech.  When he gave his Inaugural address only those very close to him could hear what he said.  So he wrote his SOU out and had it read in the chambers.  That practice was followed by presidents until the in the 20th century.  Why not go back to that Practice?  Sounds good to me!

Primary Daze

If you forget what you did as a child or young adult; (and some things are best forgotten) just run for public office.  Every Republican running has been under fire from the press, the Demos, and generally the left-wingers.  All that is except Romney.  Romney has escaped the abuse because Obama desperately wants to run against him and not a Conservative.  He is afraid of the Right pure and simple!  America must nominate a Conservative or spend another 4 years in despair.
