"One man with courage makes a majority. " - Andrew Jackson
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
"The buck stops here." - Harry S. Truman
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy
Today's Democrats:
"It depends what your definition of 'Sex' is?" - Bill Clinton
"That Obama - I would like to cut his nuts off. " - Jesse Jackson
"Those rumors are false ...... I believe in the sanctity of marriage. " - John Edwards
"I invented the Internet" - Al Gore
"The next Person that tells me I'm not religious, I'm going to shove my rosary beads up their butt. " - Joe Biden
" America is--is no longer, uh, what it--it, uh, could be, uh what it was once was...uh, and I say to myself, 'uh, I don't want that future, uh, uh for my children. ' " - Barack Obama
"I have campaigned in all 57 states. " - Barack Obama
"You don't need God anymore, you have us Democrats. " - Nancy Pelosi (said back in 2006) "Paying taxes is voluntary." - Sen. Harry Reid
"Bill is the greatest husband and father I know. No one is more faithful, true, and honest than he. " - Hillary Clinton (said back in 1998)
HOW LUCKY CAN WE BE TO HAVE SUCH BRILLIANT MINDS IN CHARGE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY?!

Human Nature

I have been a member of our local VFD for a # of years now. I have observed the changes that have been taking place here in our "out of the way" community. There has been a migration of people from out of the area moving in. People from larger areas that have some money. It is very perplexing to me as to why people move to a small area and then try to make it into the area they came from. People from the big city move to the rural area to get away from it all. Then they proceed to do there best to change the nice, small community into exactly what they came from. My area (yes, I migrated too, but I prefer to keep the area the way it was) has for many years been a little bit of a step back in time. Many people here don't have power and in many areas it isn't even available. The roads have only been paved in the last 20 years. Electricity was brought to the main area 50 years ago. Beautiful place. People are individuals here and keep to themselves. I get along with all my neighbors (although it took a while to get to know them). You can walk down the road with a rifle and nobody thinks anything of it. In fact, they will stop and chat or offer a ride. Anyhow, I was just elected to the board of the local VFD and part of my job means I must make recommendations on new subdivisions and houses being built. All the big city requirements are now being required here, emergency equipment access, road widths, signs, etc. No more will places like my house be able to be built. There is no way a fire truck is getting to my place and that is fine by me. I provide my own fire service. If the forest service or law enforcement tells me I have to evacuate because of fires, floods, etc., I am not moving. Why can't we as people take care of ourselves anymore? I don't need or want the government keeping me safe from myself. There is and has been a trend to stupify the American citizen. There is a whole group of hoplophobes that can't even stand the thought that they might have to defend themselves. What ever happened to people with backbone? Now, if you disagree with the current government administration, Homeland Security says you should be watched for potential "right wing extremism" violence. It is time to wake up Americans! It is time to wake up Christians! If your a practicing Christian and you voted for this administration, I hope your repenting! If you chose some supposed money gain (which will not happen) over principals and morals, I hope your rethinking your decisions! So far, this administration has killed more innocent children, put us in the greatest debt we have ever been in, and threatens to take away more rights. You will soon be criminals if things continue. Obama says we are not a Christian nation, that is like slapping God in the face and saying we reject you! Dangerous stuff. Enough said.

Will People Ever Get it Right?

We are NOT a Democracy! We are a Republic! There IS a difference. Lots of thought was put into this when our forefathers framed our government. In a Democracy, two wolves and a lamb vote on whats for lunch. In a free Constitutional Republic such as ours, the lamb has a say too because the constitution guarantees him some rights. The lamb is armed to repel such tyranny. In a Democracy, the majority decides what is good for you. In a Constitutional Republic, all the people are free. In a very basic sense, this is what we are.

Another Good Quote

"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of." -- Texas State Representative Suzanna Gratia Hupp
