But if we stand, have faith, hold firm, and lean into this ill wind, we shall weather it and beat it back.
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a Government bureaucrat or guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. - Patrick Henry, 1775 (Edit mine)
Thanks to Freeper Noumenon for finding and making available the original dust bowl graphic with the domestic enemies rising from the clouds.
There’s a storm coming, billowing down upon us. It’s going to blow hard, but we shall weather it and beat it back.
Nice, but I think the use of the word republican loses its message. Yes I know it wasn’t Republican, but do you think that most Americans will know the difference?
Yup, the dems have always waged war against political rivals, but this is different. They’re waging war against John Q Citizen.
That storm picture perfectly illustrates how I feel about this dust cloud of traitors trying to ruin the American dream from within. No party or movement can save us from this monstrosity, but I’m on my knees now more than ever praying that their plans will be brought to confusion.
BEAUTIFUL, in a scary sort of way! ;)
A powerful graphic.
And Obama can mostly get away with that turn the world upside down statement because the Republicans never effectively explained the the American people what caused the financial crisis. Bush and McCain both were abysmal failures on that score, and others have been little better. But Bush and McCain had the biggest platforms and fell flat of their faces.
The Middle Managers of Murder Introduction Bureaucracy is not unique to Germany, however its application by the National Socialists as a tool of totalitarian oppression is peerless.

Maybe they should be rising out of ashes in the background like slithering serpents.
Jeff,
Thanks for the great graphic. I’ve already sent it around the country.
Thanks Jeff. Great post!
Jeff, that is AWESOME!!!
I’m going to print that on 8x10 glossies and hand ‘em out.
WOW!!!
Thank you
Awesome BUMP.
When I see pictures and messages like this one I think to myself that when that SEIU union Nazi slugged that Townhall guy, the Hopey Changey Obamunist Party officially sailed over the shark. We have a long road ahead and many struggles but the nuts are off the Democratic donkey and now it’s only a matter of time before the Big Red Wave of resurgent conservatism sweeps them into the dustbin of history.

I was just thinking about this mess this morning (maybe it's all this gloomy weather we've been having in the Treasure Valley).
Anyone who doesn't believe that these people are planning to commit atrocities (I'll leave these to your imagination) an unprecedented scale needs to have another look at what is going on.
Government control of the health care system, control of banks, control of food (that's a huge one), the belief systems of all these people surrounding Obama (eugenicists, "bioethicists", etc.) - it all adds up to a really nasty sum.
A look at what has happened at the townhall meetings in the last couple of days, well, that's just barely a warm-up act. Remember, we're dealing with hard-left Marxist/Commies or whatever the 'nom du jour' is for collectivists. A quick scan of history in the 20th century should give some clues as to what could happen here.
We are literally in the fight of our lives (and for our lives). That is the mindset that MUST be assumed. A war is being waged against us, our children, and our grandchildren. At the very least our worldly wealth and the means to acquire it is at risk.
The sooner we all countenance these facts and come to grips with them, the better off we'll all be in the long run.

Don’t Crap & Tread on me. Don’t kill us with DeathCare AKA 0bamaCare.
Jeff,
I just sent this to friends throughout the country.
