OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT WORKS ONLY AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATE IN IT.

FREEDOM IS NEVER MORE THAN A GENERATION AWAY FROM EXTINCTION.
-Ronald Reagan

BAD LEGISLATORS ARE THE PRODUCT OF GOOD AMERICANS THAT DO NOT VOTE.

ANY INTELLIGENT FOOL CAN MAKE THINGS BIGGER, MORE COMPLEX, AND MORE VIOLENT. IT TAKES A TOUCH OF GENIUS AND A LOT OF COURAGE TO MOVE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
-Albert Einstein

“THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY ADOPT SOCIALISM. BUT UNDER THE NAME OF ‘LIBERALISM’ THEY WILL ADOPT EVERY FRAGMENT OF THE SOCIALIST PROGRAM UNTIL ONE DAY AMERICA WILL BE A SOCIALIST NATION, WITHOUT KNOWING HOW IT HAPPENED.”
- Norman Thomas, a founder of the A.C.L.U.

SO, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, IF GUNS KILL PEOPLE, I GUESS PENCILS MISSPELL WORDS, CARS DRIVE DRUNK, AND SPOONS MAKE PEOPLE FAT!
-The liberal thinking process never ceases to amaze me.

The consequences of a Hillary Clinton victory

From: Response Action Network

13 October 2016


As GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump contends with a mixed bag of polling results (link is external) that show him hanging tough nationally, but losing ground in key swing states, Republicans are being asked to consider their alternatives closely as Election Day nears. Do they want to surrender the next round of Supreme Court picks to Hillary Clinton -- and perhaps allow the nanny state to run roughshod over our liberties -- or will they choose to put those choices, and much more, in Trump's hands? Washington Times editorial page editor David A. Keene argues (link is external) the choice is clear:

Staying home in November, voting for a third party candidate with no chance of winning or even voting for Mrs. Clinton as some unthinking conservatives hostile to Mr. Trump seem prepared to do are not rational options for one who cares about the future. Donald Trump can win in November, but he won't win if those of us who care about the freedoms and values that we say are so important to us don't do our part to help him win. 

The consequences of undermining his candidacy at this point are not difficult to predict and won't be pretty. If conservatives desert at this juncture, Mrs. Clinton will end up with a Democratic Senate and if that happens she will get just about everything she wants. Her Supreme Court appointees will eventually be confirmed, treaties that are awaiting ratification will be ratified, the power of an already too powerful executive will increase and many of the freedoms we have always taken for granted will be in danger of becoming mere memories. 

We know our readers believe in freedom, and cherish liberty. Those beliefs, and who they think is best equiped to see those beliefs turned into actions, will guide their choice for president in November. 


God bless,
