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

You know what, we are going to win big in November. It may be just a small thing here, but when we win, I want everyone to taunt the hell out of the rats! Last time we won, all I heard was well now we don't want to gloat. If I hear one person say no gloating, I am going to lose it! I am going to gloat like hell!

My Dad is a combat veteran. Sacrificed blood, sweat and tears for this nation.
 
He came in to watch the vote live on CSPAN, said he wanted to personally witness for himself the destruction of what he had fought for.
 
Never said a word during the vote. After that was over, he got up to go to bed, never said a word. When he is like that, and it is very rare, it is time to head for some hills, any hills, and camp there. The next a-hole he sees wearing an Obama t-shirt may get a knuckle sandwich, who knows. There is a sense of purpose there that is not going to erode. I can imagine there are umpteen million Americans who are of the same mind.

I think that you may be right about us vets taking it hard.

I was going to try and get some zzz's and forget all of this until tomorrow but .. nooo-oo .. I had to check my email!

I have received over eighty emails from former army buddies and friends of a certain club that I belong to .. (OathKeepers) and many of them feel as bad as I do!

Hell, I wasn't going to sleep tonight anyway!

Renee,

Tell those soldiers that there exists a three headed serpent forged with the captured weapons of an invading army over 2500 years ago.

Still exists today in an ancient hippodrome in a city once called Constantinople 2500 years after it was first forged.

What does it commemorate? The final defeat of the Persian army in the battle of Plataea by the Greeks. Forged with the following words:

“The saviours of Greece at large dedicated this,
having delivered the cities from wretched servitude.”

Freedom is not granted by the pontifications of the president, nor by the elucidations of the elite, but the same as it always has, by the blood and sweat of the men who refused to submit.

I agree,there is plenty we can do to get this ship back on course.Keep in mind we will be fighting 100 years or more of a creeping onslaught of socialism.The propaganda arm [TV Media]of the DNC,George Soros and other leftists money,think Rockefeller and so on,But it can be done.I believe the lefties have jumped the gun a bit.Of course they will use health care as a vehicle to further erode our liberties.They will attempt to use that infrastructure to get our weapons slowly but surely.I think they have miscalculated.They have deluded themselves into thinking that we all sit around with our hats on backwards with our ass crack hanging out.
Let them keep thinking that and the force that hits them will push them back into the sea.I am Fired up and ready to go.Ain't gonna take this crap noooo more.

Well, I think we should learn from the Democrats and adopt some of their tactics. Demonization, for example.

Demonize the Trial Lawyers

Demonize the Union bosses

Demonize the IRS

Demonize the media

I wonder too April, what is the plan? More tea parties, only with bigger signs this time? If there was any plan there would be millions headed to DC tonight and they would be armed. It’s over. I know everyone is going to flame the guy that posted this, but deep down, we all know he’s probably right. Some just can’t admit it. You cannot fight Communists/Marxists, with a sociopath malignant narcissist sitting in the WH with tea parties. They will chew you up and spit you out, as they have demonstrated today.

The Left has been planning this since the 1930’s We are just panicking today. We have alot of catching up to do. But remember... they are just people... if Gandhi and Marten Luther King can win, so can we. It just takes strong leaders. The GOP MUST be purged and rebuilt with poeple who understand power...
