Marcus Tullis Cicero said in a speech to the Roman Senate: "A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive the treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."
My country tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty.
We are in deep kimchee. Fecal material is about to interface with a very large propeller. I suggest you all pay off as much of your bills on tangible items as possible. Your home and car should be free of debt if you can pull it off. I think too many people got greedy. When the price of a home triples in a year, stop and think for a minute. The banks were loaning money to people that could not possibly pay back the loan, on houses that were worth less than half of what it was selling for. The Government will pick up the bill! Hey people. We are a government of the people. Guess who is picking up the tab. The people you choose to run the country will determine how much of your paycheck you get to keep. I'm retired. My kids aren't. I really worry about what we as a country have done. My kids are working for a living, supporting those who don't work. Obama, God help us, is about to spend another Trillion dollars to make things better. I can't even comprehend a Trillion. It's like a light year. I'll never forget the lady being interviewed about how she feels Obama will do as president. She could hardly contain herself. "Now I won't have to work to pay my mortgage, or car payment." God help us, that is the way too many of our upstanding citizens feel. No need to work, the GOVERNMENT will take care of us. Our Constitution has ceased to exist. Be watching
for camel jockeys and blue helmets coming down the road. Make sure
you have a couple of sacks of beans put away and water. If you have
room, a supply of toilet paper is a good idea. Old phone books will
work too.
God Bless America God Bless the Republic |
" The more
corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."
Tacitus, Roman Senator
"The strength
of the Constitution lies entirely in the
determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every
single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this
defense are the constitutional rights secure."
--Albert Einstein
"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for
those who do not."
- Thomas Jefferson
This is some inspirational stuff that I have gleaned off the web. I hope at least some of it gets to you like it does to me. The War poetry is pretty heavy, more so if that was your time. I will add to this in the future.
