Give me liberty or give me death! True in 1775 and true in 2012!
Give me liberty or give me death!

Carol the Christian Soldier produced a blogpost about the Benghazi travesty. Did the Obama Administration deliberately try to make it easy for terrorists to kidnap an ambassador so that they could then trade the Blind Sheik for that Ambassador right before the election? Why did the Administration deliberately remove security on 9/11 knowing that an attack was planned? We know now that they knew in advance and lied about it afterwards. If there was a press corps in the mainstream media with courage and not sold out to the Democrats this would be ten times the scandal of Watergate! Between Fast and Furious and Benghazi the blood on the hands of the Obama Administration shouts out for justice!
There is no doubt that the brave Seals who gave their lives saving others were murdered and that the Obama Administration has no excuse for denying help - no Delta Force was sent in, no drone-guided bombs or attack ships. The Embassy and the CIA compound were left to fend for themselves. This is monstrously wrong. It should be considered treasonous and the Administration needs to be investigated to find out who ordered forces to "stand down" and not help the helpless and outgunned Americans in Libya? Who is the traitor that ordered the troops and support to "stand down?" Who will stand up for the heroes like Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, men who gave their lives to protect others while the eyes of the Administration watched for six-plus hours and did NOTHING?!
"...That Barack Obama had arranged with the Muslim Brotherhood to kidnap the Ambassador, and through Obama’s supposed affinity with the Muslim world, Obama would save the day and get the ambassador released.
But the Muslim Brotherhood wanted something in return.
Their beloved Blind Sheik.
Unbelievable?
Western Journalism broke the news on Monday that a source connected to the White House has stated that the murder of Stevens and the other Americans was a botched kidnapping linked to one Barack Hussein Obama."
(If you go down near the bottom of this post you will see videos documenting several examples of Democrat voting fraud and Barack Obama tipping his hand as to who he really is and what he believes, so don't forget to look)
I have looked death in the eyes before. Once when I stepped between a roaring drunk friend and a drunk retired Colonel with a Colt .45 that looked like a cannon. But I stood right before that gun and pleaded with the man not to shoot, that the damages our friend had done to the room would be repaid. To his everlasting credit, Buck Buchanon came and stood beside me before that gun. That drunk, a large Oklahoman named Hill, is hopefully still alive and well. Yet millions of men have been more courageous than have I. I cannot claim to have great courage, but when push comes to shove I will take a stand. Courage is not the lack of fear, that is foolishness. Courage is facing fear and moving forward anyway. Today men and women of faith need to find courage within themselves and go out and vote all the ungodly men and women out of office! Elect those who will defend the Constitution rather than Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." Elect those who will stand up for the lives of the unborn children. God hears their cries from the womb when the suction tubes and knives come after them to take their lives. Ultrasound done during abortions show the babies trying to find a place in the womb to escape the killing machine seeking to end their lives. Seeing a baby desperately trying to stay alive in the womb during an abortion convinced Abby Johnson to abandon a lucrative position with Planned Parenthood and begin to work to save lives.
When my country drafted me out of college, I did not flee with the many who ran to Canada. I stepped across that line and vowed to defend the Constitution of the Unites States with my very life. Many of my generation fled, to their shame, and were allowed back in by the back door, snuck in and kept in old abandoned wooden barracks at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis, among other spots. I remember driving past those barracks and wondering what the price of abandoning honor and duty would be extracted from their souls? How did they look in the mirror each morning?
I had a scholarship, a Mustang convertible, a good job and a pretty girlfriend and they pulled me right off of the campus to go to the induction center. If anyone had a right to complain it was me. As a child I had walked door to door with Goldwater pamphlets, begging people not to elect LBJ. I told them LBJ would drag the war on so long I might be drafted, and if so, how many good young Americans would die in the process? I told them he was a dirty back-room dealmaker with no scruples and a dimbulb for a brain. But Americans voted LBJ in and he turned Vietnam into a human meat grinder and established a class of government-dependent serfs who would be rewarded for having babies out of wedlock and penalized for being married. The Great Society was a ploy to take the poor of the nation and enslave them for peanuts in exchange for automatic votes for Democrats. Shame on men such as Jesse Jackson, who make a living from racism and keep it alive in order to make large amounts of money for themselves while leaving the poor to try to live on a paltry government paycheck and the underground economy of the drugs, prostitution, theft and numbers games!
How many ghetto communities in Gary, in Chicago, in Detroit, in Los Angeles, and so on are ruled by Democratic Machines who have turned the poor into the new class of slaves and the once beautiful neighborhoods into the havens of drug dealers and junkies squatting in abandoned homes falling apart and infested with vermin of all kinds?
When I became a Christian, I began to walk the areas where the poor and hungry and desperate lived. Mingling with gang members was normal. I heard the cheers the girls sang to their gangs, the stories of who had been murdered and how the bodies were hidden in trash dumpsters. I was threatened, once completely surrounded, once punched in my midsection hard by a big strong young man and I just looked him in the eye and told him, among other things, that God loved him despite that and anything else he had done. I walked the streets of Gary and East Chicago. I walked in Pilsen and the Cabrini Green area and South of South of the Yards where the police would caution us to leave while we were still alive. We walked the Robert Taylor homes area as well. These were places where the crime of being white could bring death, where the wearing of shirt and tie was asking for armed robbery. Thankfully the gangs were superstitious and were mostly afraid of attacking men of God for fear that "What goes around comes around." The fear that killing a Bible guy would bring about your own death was the only thing that saved us.
But with a companion we would walk armed only with big black Bibles and the desire to bring hope to the hopeless no matter the cost. A young man I know and his wife have settled in Latin Kings territory and set up church and home in the midst of chaos and violence, bringing love to those who do not know love. They have courage, they live where at any time a random bullet might come through the front room wall and kill one of them. They are always a potential target as they go forth to minister. They have courage beyond my own and it is from love that their courage is drawn - love for the community of Pilsen above that of their very lives!
Courage is something that millions of Americans have displayed in wars from the beginning of this nation until today. Men braver than I have lived and died under our flag, facing almost certain death on the beaches of Normandy, on the islands of the Pacific, in the air over Europe and the South and Central Pacific. In trenches in WWI facing disease and gas attacks and tangles of barbed wire and booby traps and hails of lead bullets and exploding bombs. Men of courage have charged on foot, on horseback, in jeeps and tanks and humvees and planes and jets and bombers, on board ships and in boats going underwater or helicopters packing great firepower but making an easy target.
But there is a greater threat to America - Obamacare and the HHS Mandate! This bill that no one was allowed to read before voting it in is an attack on the Bill of Rights!!!!
Now the war has come home and it is within the boundaries of our very nation. Our own government is attacking the very rights spelled out in the Constitution and attempting to break the very words of the documents they are sworn to protect! Harry Reid, Hilary Clinton, Eric Holder, Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and those of their ilk have waged war on the Bill of Rights and Christianity and certainly the most vulnerable citizens of all, the babies not yet born!!!
Baby-murdering is evil and indefensible. The attack of the ACLU on communities that put up crosses and creches and Jewish stars and menorahs and such things? It is to drain money from the taxpayer and attempt to stamp out belief in our Creator God. You know, the Creator that our Founding Fathers said gave us our "inalienable rights" in the Declaration of Independence? That Creator God! The one who defends the innocent and weak and forgives all who come to Him in repentance. There is nothing so heinous that Jesus Christ cannot forgive and there is no life so good that you can try to sneak into eternal life without that same Jesus vouching for you.
The story of March 23rd, 1775
Patrick Henry from 1775, the summary portion of his speech given March 23rd of that year:
"...There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!
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 British 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. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods and Sean Smith and J Christopher Stevens are dead. The Obama Administration not only let it happen, they may have planned for the attack to take place.
If they will not value the lives of our men and women overseas and they have no mercy for the unborn within our shores, what will they not do next? Is there anything that the Administration is incapable of doing? Would a second term of Obama bring about legalized Pedophilia, the giving up of our nuclear arsenal, a Great Depression that dwarfs that of the 20th Century and tyranny in place of Constitutional Law? Would death panels decide when you were too old to remain alive? What would this Administration NOT do?
From Project Veritas. That organization has exposed multiple incidents of voter fraud but perhaps this one is the most amazing!
We know the Democrats are promoting voter fraud, including a Congressman's son. We know the ACORN buddies of the Democrats are promoting voter fraud! They certainly did it in 2008! In fact, there is a precinct in Gary that always reports very late and always gives 100% Democrat vote totals. A statistical impossibility, but then the Gary Democrats are not particularly careful. I believe the indicted Lake County Democrats now number over 50 in the last 25 years. Six more of them were indicted in September of 2012.
Yes it was the Republicans, not the Democrats, who spearheaded the Civil Rights Movement, having to fight tooth and nail against Democrats like Lyndon Baines Johnson, who threw the "N" word around carelessly when voters were not in earshot. President Eisenhower sponsored and passed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Then LBJ came up with The Great Society, which was actually designed to keep the poor and minority voters both poor and voting Democrat.
Canada Free Press gives the story here. Democrats segregated and formed the Jim Crow Laws and Republicans desegregated and put an end to Jim Crow! I will edit one of the vile LBJ quotes found within:

Therefore your vote is vital in this election. Vote out the crooks and radicals and baby-murderers and vote in men and women who respect and will defend the Constitution of the United States. As a veteran and an American, I implore you!

The story of March 23rd, 1775
Following the Boston Tea Party, Dec. 16, 1773, in which American colonists dumped 342 containers of tea into the Boston harbor, the British Parliament enacted a series of Acts in response to the rebellion in Massachusetts.
In May of 1774, General Thomas Gage, commander of all British military forces in the colonies, arrived in Boston, followed by the arrival of four regiments of British troops.
The First Continental Congress met in the fall of 1774 in Philadelphia with 56 American delegates, representing every colony, except Georgia. On September 17th, the Congress declared its opposition to the repressive Acts of Parliament, saying they are "not to be obeyed," and also promoted the formation of local militia units.
Thus economic and military tensions between the colonists and the British escalated. In February of 1775, a Provincial Congress was held in Massachusetts during which John Hancock and Joseph Warren began defensive preparations for a state of war. The British Parliament then declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion.
On March 23rd, in Virginia, the largest colony in America, a meeting of the colony's delegates was held in St. John's church in Richmond. Resolutions were presented by Patrick Henry putting the colony of Virginia "into a posture of defense...embodying, arming, and disciplining such a number of men as may be sufficient for that purpose." Before the vote was taken on his resolutions, Henry delivered the speech below, imploring the delegates to vote in favor.
He spoke without any notes in a voice that became louder and louder, climaxing with the now famous ending. Following his speech, the vote was taken in which his resolutions passed by a narrow margin, and thus Virginia joined in the American Revolution.
Patrick Henry from 1775, the summary portion of his speech given March 23rd of that year:
"...There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight!
