Wise Sage Of The Day

"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."

Pfc. Alan R. Blohm
21 years old from Kenai, Alaska
425th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division
December 31, 2006


Alan R. Blohm enlisted in the Army in 2004 because "He wanted to serve the country," his brother Jeremy said. "His grandfather had been in the Army, and it's just something he wanted to do."

Blohm graduated in 2004 from Bay City Western High School, where he was a 250-pound defensive player for the football team. Blohm's size prompted coach Jim Eurick to nickname him "Biggins Blohm," his brother recalled. "I know he paid the ultimate sacrifice with his life," Mark Boileau, Blohm's former school Principal, said. "We know Alan will be in a better place because of the sacrifice he made, because of his love for our country."

PFC. Blohm died of wounds suffered when an IED detonated near his unit while on combat patrol in Baghdad Besides his brother, he leaves behind his parents and a younger sister.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Happy Tax Day

I wonder how many media outlets will be covering these protests today? Beside FNC that is. Hannity, Beck, Cavuto and Van Susteren will all be doing their shows live from parties around the country. They're set to be the largest media ignored protests in the country. Oh, I'm sure they'll be some outlets begrudgingly talking about them but there won't be nearly as much coverage as war protests got just a few years ago. Except, you know, places like HuffPo who will looking for that one moron who says something stupid and then make it seem like everyone there agrees.

Tax
Enough
Already

No Taxation With Crappy Representation

Hey, Obama. If I Pull A Geithner, Can I Work For Your Administration?

It's "We The People", not "Us The Government"

Government Lied = Economy Died

When Did Success Become A Bad Thing?

Washington... I'm Not Your Personal ATM

Testing

Blogger now lets us post via email.  Testing to see if it works.

President Obama- "Geithner is doing an outstanding job"

I'm A Terrorist Threat

At least some in the Department Of Homeland Security think so anyway. I was going to do my own post about this but Pink Elephant Pundit has done a better post than I could have.

Fake Photo Op For Obama In Iraq

God, what a looser president we have. On Obama's recent trip to Iraq, the above photo was released that shows how much the men and women of the U.S. military love the man. They're cheering, they're smiling, they're hugging him and they all have their cameras out. Their identical cameras. What? That's all because it was staged. Before his visit, troops were interrogated to see who had voted for Obama and who didn't. Those who did were placed in front of media cameras and given identical digital cameras so that when the Commander-In-Chief arrived it would make for an amazing picture. Obama's like that nerd in high school. The one that wants people to like him, so he throws a party in his basement while his parents serve chips and dip to the five or six kids that actually showed up. He thinks it's going to help him become part of cool kids clique, but they're still laughing at him on Monday.

Unwise Sage Of The Day

"Justly revered as our great Constitution is, it could be stripped off and thrown aside like a garment, and the nation would still stand forth in the living vestment of flesh and sinew, warm with the heart-blood of one people, ready to recreate constitutions and laws."
Woodrow Wilson
