A Beaten Man

Posted on 03/21/2010 10:01:40 PM PDT by plinyelder

As one of many who served on the front lines in a very unpopular war .. because my country asked me to, I have become nothing more than a shadow of that once proud, young man.

Tonight I sit here, older, wiser and with a heavy heart .. for I no longer BELIEVE in my country.

For all my brothers in arms .. I am so sorry for what we have become.

As Nikita Khrushchev once said:
"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."

May God have mercy on our souls

If you want to be beaten, be beaten. Lay down. The rest of us will keep fighting without you. Sheesh.

I’m with you, friend. As far as I’m concerned that flag I served under does not represent the country I loved. I will no longer pledge allegiance to it. We need a new country and a new flag. I fear we can’t go back to the old one. It hasn’t existed for a long time.

I'm not beaten yet. It doesn't look good at this point but I refuse to let a little socialist puke like Obama get away with this.

Screw all the drama .

I am more ticked off than ever. If this Marxist wants WAR. He will get it. The was the opening of the WAR against this radical Marxist and his radical henchman.

Its time to dismantle the federal govt .
Support the GOP AG’s suing to kill Obamacare.
Protest if the Marxist is doing a Cheerleading event in your area.
And volunteer for candidates that will defund and dismantle Obama care.

That’s right. This little, arrogant man can celebrate tonight but true patriots should NEVER let him have their country. Not as long as they draw breath.

Well, some of us have been screaming about communism for decades and have been painted kooks for our efforts. Now that its too late...

Okay, the pity party is over, time to retrench.

In the face of overwhelming odds, the first Americans didn’t give up. Are we going to dishonor all those who came before and let down all who come after by giving up and giving in?

Amen Bro. So far, we’ve been subjected to bloodless coup. People are waking up now. It’s coming.

Fight until the breath is taken from your body; never give up. Never let the clowns win.

If we let this stand then the blood shed by so many for the cause of liberty stands for nothing. I will not see that happen.

Thank you for fighting in what I believe was a very worthwhile war.

This is but one battle lost in a war that will span centuries, more than likely. Do you have kids? Two of mine are voting now, and both of those are voting “correctly.” We are not giving up anything. So take heart. Tomorrow is another day. I intend to fight until the end.

Well, I’ll tell you what saying ‘I give up’ ain’t the answer. These people are still voted in. There are AG’s who are going to fight the bill and others. They don’t need a lay down public. And this thing wouldn’t even kick in until 2014, so that’s some elections there.

What do you want to do?

Thank you for your service, Sir. From those of us unable or unwilling to join the US military...America is proud of you and oh, so grateful.

You are not a beaten man. How do I know this? Because I am a brand new FReeper (as of today) and have come to join you in the fight. Yes, we are dispirited tonight but with the dawn of each new day our reserve to right this isanity will grow stronger.

You are also not just a shadow of the once proud young man. How do I know this? Your years have given you much wisdom that we will all need in the battles to come. We need your experience and wisdom to guide us.

Strategy and tactics from your service years will be invaluable in the weeks and months to come. The idiots in DC have no idea what they have unleashed on this night. November will be upon them before they know it!

So, take heart. Our beloved America will come out of this stronger and prouder than ever.

It may sound boring but I am planning to work hard to get good candidates for the primaries, because, I expect November to be a huge time of reaping for conservatives.

Also, I am looking forward to advocating for the Senate to do all it can to stop this bill; and for the states’ attorneys generals.

There is still hope.

Ask yourself this: What would the left LIKE me to do?

Then do the opposite.

Yes, that’s my father and uncles. My great grandparents who put their children on boats and would never see them again, to send them to America.

This punk Obama is going to be the one to destroy us and them? Pfft.

work in your state to help the AG file suit.
protest Obama if he is near.
work on the local election to support the people planning to defund this evil bill until Obama is driven out of office.
And demand the GOP put a Hold on all appointments until the midterm.
