Yeah, some days are like that......

Labor Day, 2013

 

 

at this point, I don't know if I should kiss
the first union rep I see, or shoot him...

Independence Day

It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.  - James Madison


The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.  - Thomas Paine

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots. - Barbara Ehrenreich

 If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all. – Jacob Hornberger (1995)

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. – P.J. O’Rourke

 No man’s life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session. – Mark Twain (1866) 

There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want merely because you think it would be good for him. – Robert Heinlein

 

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism. - Howard Zinn

If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.  - Dwight D. Eisenhower

  

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. - Robert A. Heinlein

Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don't believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others. - Coretta Scott King
 

 

The End is Near....

Another "day in the life" at my house:

Some Would Sacrifice American Ideals To Protect America....

Honor Those Who Did Not

Struggling to Return Home
