The Last Great Man

"The lesson of all this was, of course, that because we're a great nation, our challenges seem complex. It will always be this way. But as long as we remember our first principles and believe in ourselves, the future will always be ours. And something else we learned: Once you begin a great movement, there's no telling where it will end. We meant to change a nation, and instead, we changed a world...

Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free." - Ronald Reagan

Happy Birthday, Mr. President

I Need Some Medical Advice

And what better place to get it than from you guys. Can someone tell me why this is? Let's say I have some candy. Say, M&M's. I grab some and notice that I have 2 green and one brown, or whatever colors. But I have 2 of one and 1 of another. The way I have to eat them, have to, is eat one green then the brown then the other green. Or if I have one of each color I have to sort them out from the rest and save them to go together. Everything has to have some sort of order or it eats at me. OCD?

Associations

To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure.We were alienated. - Barry Obama

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.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

NanPel The Deranged

There are a lot of bad people in Congress. A lot, but Nancy Pelosi may just be one of, if not, the worst. House Speaker’s Military Travel Cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a Two-Year Period, Including $101,429 for In-Flight Expenses. This damn woman has gone insane. She must think that everyone is here just to serve her and her desires.

And did you hear her talking about how Congress is still going to ram through health care?

If the gate is closed, we will go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we will pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we will parachute in. But we are going to get health care reform passed for the American people for their own personal health and economic security and for the important role that it will play in reducing the deficit

I'm inclined to agree with Beck here. Does NanPel not understand that we, the American people, are that gate? We're that fence. She's telling us, "screw you, we know what's best for you". I would love for the people of California to wise up and vote her out. Please. This woman is a menace to the country.

There He Goes Again

What is it with this man and bowing to people? It was bad enough that he bowed to foreign leaders, now he's bowing to the mayor of Tampa, Fl.?
