The Pledge of My Generation
none | 05/08/07 | me

The Pledge of Our Generation On September 11, 2001 we were exposed to evil. We had been blissfully unaware of the danger, left unprotected by liberal policies. We will never forget that day, we will always remember the horror, we will always remember that on that day we came face to face with evil. That realization has affected us for life, has given us the ability to see those who would do us harm, has shown us the consequences of appeasement and complacency. We will never become callous to the losses of that day. We understand that it is up to us to preserve this way of life, to preserve Western civilization on earth, to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Our policy is to make war on those who wish our destruction, our aim is victory. We will fight whenever and wherever, we will never surrender. To those who want peace: the only guaranteed way to peace is surrender and in surrender you doom our children to take the last steps into 1000 years of darkness. While we may wish to have peace in our time we must have the courage to say to our enemies there is a price we will not pay there is a point beyond which they must not advance. We did not ask for this war but we will preserve this, the last best hope of man on earth. We will fight this war and we will emerge victorious. We understand that success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts. We understand that evil is powerless if the good are unafraid, but if the good do nothing than evil will succeed. We understand that in war there is no substitute for victory, and that we fight this war that our children may live in peace. And when we are down we will remember that courage and perseverance have a magical talisman before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into thin air. Praise be to the Lord our rock, who trains our hands for war and our fingers for battle. It is for these reasons that:

I do solemnly swear to preserve and protect the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. So help me God.

Who is "us"? As far as I can see, Democrats- (ie liberal leftist loons, marxist daydreamers who still haven't figured out that totalitarian system always ends in mass murder) are just a blind as ever, and in fact have done everything possible to encourage our enemies, give them hope of suceeding in destroying freedom, andwestern civilization as we know it.

Sorry about the paragraphs I just copy and pasted, here you go: The Pledge of Our Generation

On September 11, 2001 we were exposed to evil. We had been blissfully unaware of the danger, left unprotected by liberal policies. We will never forget that day, we will always remember the horror, we will always remember that on that day we came face to face with evil.

That realization has affected us for life, has given us the ability to see those who would do us harm, has shown us the consequences of appeasement and complacency. We will never become callous to the losses of that day.

We understand that it is up to us to preserve this way of life, to preserve Western civilization on earth, to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Our policy is to make war on those who wish our destruction, our aim is victory. We will fight whenever and wherever, we will never surrender.

To those who want peace: the only guaranteed way to peace is surrender and in surrender you doom our children to take the last steps into 1000 years of darkness. While we may wish to have peace in our time we must have the courage to say to our enemies there is a price we will not pay there is a point beyond which they must not advance.

We did not ask for this war but we will preserve this, the last best hope of man on earth. We will fight this war and we will emerge victorious.

My hope is anyone who ISN'T a leftist loon. We are far from being a nation united against our enemies, something that I hope changes for the better soon.

One of the steps needed to be taken to unite this nation is to correct the problem we have with our so called "free press".

It is niether truthfull, nor unbiased. It willingly offers it's services to the enemy, gleefully publishing sucessfull attacks on our troops, often glorifying them, while publishing LIES about our fighting men and women and making them look bad, ignoring the tremendous good they do.

We need to re- establish a "free press", to ensure the people know what is really going on if we have any hopes of being united enough to win the war beyond our borders.

And that's just one of many things that need to happen.
