    May God bless America, and set us free this November from the inept fool Obama.

    The Quote of the Decade: “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ‘s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

    Happy In Depends Day. Thats a shitty way to spend the holiday.

    Yesterday I came home with a few artillary shells after work. My room mate asked me when I planned to shoot em. I told him I’d planned to pop them when the GF got off work.
    He asked if she was working til midnight, and when I affirmed she was, he said he had to be in early to work, and he’d kill me or worse if I woke him with a bunch of fire works.
    Well, When I got home with the Girl Friend, I called his cell. It ran and rang, but he answered it on the tenth ring of the second try.
    I said, “Great, you’re awake”, and launched a couple of boomers.
    revenge is gonna suck.

    FUCK Obama…This nation WILL NOT succumb to pandering parasites or Harvard hooligans (one in the same) regardless of credentials, phony credibility or divisive demagoguery…This is OUR time, NOT theirs, this is OUR nation, not theirs…Fuck John Roberts and the shallow men who swallow Laurence Tribe`s shitty, greasy, grilled bell peppers! Independence day…too many have died for us to deny their vision and relent to tyranny!

    @ gibsonz:

    There were a couple of interesting stories on the BBC as I was coming to work this morning.

    The first one had to do with the discovery of what appears to be the smallest fly species yet found. It’s an almost microscopic parasite that lays its eggs in the body of an ant. When the larvae hatch, they burrow into the ant’s head and eat it from the inside out. Eventually, the ant’s head falls off, “sometimes while the body is still walking around.”

    Reminded me of about 52% of our population.

    The other story had to do with how the South Koreans got themselves out of the financial crisis they suffered about 15 years ago. While they borrowed money from the IMF, they actually made meaningful cuts in spending, and repaid the loans. Today, they’re in fairly good shape.

    The interesting thing was the way the population came together to get out of it. Women even donated their gold jewelry to help pay off the debts.

    Compare that to what we see in Greece, where their new government has basically told the EU to stuff it when it comes to making any real cuts.

    Just a little heads up for everyone, I was talking to coldwarrior and lightning struck a couple blocks from his house, his internet is down for probably a couple of days, he asked me to tell everyone this…

    Not poaching, but go take a look at today’s banner at grouchyconservativepundits.com, done by member “Rigpa.” Pretty damned appropriate to where we are now -- worn and battered, yet still defiant.


  14. 14 | July 4, 2012 5:31 am

    And in keeping with the traditional OOT music video meme, there’s only one “song” to go with the thoughts behind that banner…

    Y’all remembeer that, now…


  15. 15 | July 4, 2012 5:40 am

    Oh, and while I can’t get to it here in Bolivia, I have seen a screen capture of it -- check out Google’s “tribute” to Independence Day…

    The reports about Obama spending the 4th in Paris are
    apparently false.
    I would like him out of the country all of the time,
    but the story is not true.

    God Bless All of You

    We have been handed a Republic (if we can keep it)

    . . . the Founders knew that there would always be enemies of Our Constitution both from within & without
    While we breathe the savory smoke from the BBQ pit, let’s not let forget that there are No gaurantees . . . we cannot sleep while others seek to destroy the gift of Freedom

    Our 1st Fourth without:

    No.1 who has just arrived at Ft.Lewis for his ROTC ‘LDAC’training
    and
    No.2 who is doing grunt work at Ft.Benning while awaiting orders

    . . . it is quiet here w/o the boys

    they have, however, added a new meaning to this special day 4 us

    That could be it. Just guessing , but I think that Obama
    people planted the story to bait Brietbart Blog etc & the fish
    were biting.
    The really sad thing is that it was not a stretch to
    beleve about Obama.

    David Maranis, the historian author of the book “Obama”
    that exposes thirty six untuths (lies) in Obamas “Dreams
    from My Father” was just on in a clip on FNc.
    He is trying to rehab himself with Libs defending obama.
    He is talking about literary license “a memoir is not a
    strict auto-biography.”
    Offered for your consideration,

    To me , they’re the same people.
    American Libs mock Anmerican values, just like the Euros.
    Take the French, they will always fight until the last

    @ rain of lead:
    Aren’t there 4 verses? I found this here

    Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
    O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
    Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

    On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
    In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    ‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
    A home and a country should leave us no more!
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
    Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
    Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
