			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-476" title="democrat hypocrisy (2)" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/democrat-hypocrisy-2.jpg" alt="democrat hypocrisy (2)" width="500" height="210" /></p>
<p>The latest “baloney” with <em><strong>Harry Reid’s comments regarding “light skinned negros”</strong></em> and consequent reaction reminded me of this sticker phrase that I think represents the Democrat response to anything negative pointed their way. They are the biggest group of witch hunting, name calling irresponsible “role models” in the country except when it comes to them. Then they are the biggest hypocrites the term can define. Next to the term “hypocrisy” in the dictionary, should be the phrase, “noun: Democrats claiming to have higher standards or beliefs than is the case.”</p>
<p><strong>And, of course,</strong> the “drive-by” media falls in lockstep behind them. I trust I am not the only American so sick of this disingenuous, doubled standard blatant lack of integrity, passed off as sincerity, by <strong>this absurdly unscrupulous group of political hacks</strong> and reporters that you feel the urge to <em><strong>“blow chow.”</strong></em></p>

<p>It&#8217;s time for change all right. It&#8217;s time to throw these meat heads back in the streets and get people in congress who want to work for America instead of themselves. I am so looking forward to Nov 2010 and even on to 2012 (assuming Obama even makes it that far) when we get the opportunity to &#8220;vote the bums out!&#8221;</p>
<p>I still don&#8217;t understand why the media people bestow royalty and accolade (instead of feet to the fire) on their &#8220;chosen ones&#8221; as they will pay as dearly as any of us dealing with the stripping of our individual rights perpetrated by their pals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-453" title="Boycott Nevada and Sen Reid" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Boycott-Nevada-and-Sen-Reid.jpg" alt="Boycott Nevada and Sen Reid" width="500" height="210" /> <em><strong>Until the People of Nevada take it upon themselves to &#8220;Get Ridda Reid,&#8221; this is my attitude</strong></em>, and I live close enough to Nevada to mean it. I even instruct my kids to not go over there and spend any of their money.</p>
<p>Cancel your reservations or travel plans to Nevada. Let them eat their own &#8220;cake.&#8221; And let them know that <a class="zem_slink" title="Harry Reid" rel="homepage" href="http://reid.senate.gov/">Harry Reid</a> is the reason.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s time the People who keep these idiots in office pay the price for their own moronic decisions. While I have put this info in written form on a previous sticker post, this map shows &#8220;virtually&#8221; how few people in reference to the entire country have been keeping Harry Reid in office. They should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. Their delegate is leading the charge in the destruction the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&amp;t=h">United States of America</a>.</p>
<p>This is no overstatement. He and Pelosi (mentioned later) are frantically trying to jamb their social redistribution, &#8220;frankenly&#8221; un-american, agenda down our throats in spite of our (the people) desired rejection of the plan(s) they won&#8217;t even expose for review prior to voting on the issue. The strong arming and rules changing behavior is insane. <strong>These people are insane. There is no other way to describe it.</strong></p>
<p>The same goes here in <a class="zem_slink" title="California" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.0,-120.0&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=37.0,-120.0%20%28California%29&amp;t=h">California</a>. Not only are Boxer, Pelosi and Feinstein an embarrassment, but they are <strong>dangerous</strong> to the country. As a Californian, I, am embarrassed and ashamed of the representatives the people of this state have put in and keep in office. Needless to say&#8230;&#8221;It wasn&#8217;t me,&#8221; but I am here and they supposedly represent My Interests. As illustrated above as to the population (or lack there of) supporting Reid; Pelosi&#8217;s district is one of the smallest in California. A recap of the stats:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The 8th District gave <a class="zem_slink" title="John Kerry" rel="homepage" href="http://kerry.senate.gov/">John Kerry</a> his best performance in California in 2004, taking in 84.2% of the vote. <a class="zem_slink" title="Barack Obama" rel="homepage" href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/">Barack Obama</a> continued on this trend in 2008 when he received 85.22% of the vote in the district while <a class="zem_slink" title="John McCain" rel="homepage" href="http://mccain.senate.gov/public/">John McCain</a> received 12.38%.</em></p>
<p><strong>Check out &#8220;Second Place.&#8221;</strong> These are the people who have kept Pelosi in office who now oversees the actions and agenda of the House of &#8220;Representatives.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>United States <a class="zem_slink" title="United States House of Representatives" rel="homepage" href="http://www.house.gov">House of Representatives</a> elections, 2008<br />
Party                 Candidate                                      Votes         Percentage<br />
Democratic     <a class="zem_slink" title="Nancy Pelosi" rel="homepage" href="http://www.speaker.gov/">Nancy Pelosi</a> (incumbent)     134,767         71.7%<br />
Independent  <a class="zem_slink" title="Cindy Sheehan" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Sheehan">Cindy Sheehan</a> 31,445         16.8%<br />
Republican     Dana Walsh                                    17,477         9.3%<br />
Libertarian     Philip Zimt Berg                              4,296         2.2%<br />
Totals     187,985         100.0%</em></p>
<p>California Poulation: 36,756,666</p>
<p>Pelosi Votes: 134,767 / 36,756,666 = <strong>36/100&#8217;s of 1%</strong> of CA population.</p>
<p>Pelosi Votes: 134,767 / 304,059,724 = <strong>4/1,000 of 1%</strong> of US population.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Insane</strong>, again, is the only phrase that makes any sense to describe what is going on with this congress and this administration. <a class="zem_slink" title="Barbara Boxer" rel="homepage" href="http://boxer.senate.gov/">Barbara Boxer</a> is an arrogant condescending snob. Feinstein is a two faced nepotist using her position to promote government contracts to companies partially invested in by her own husband.</p>
<p>I hope the people of Nevada get it together and send Harry Reid packing in the up coming election, and I mean resoundingly packing. Until then I stick with the boycott idea: let Nevadans feel what they are imposing on the rest of the country. <em><strong>Get Ridda Reid!</strong></em></p>

<p>If you hadn’t recognized that Gore was laughing all the way to the bank, I doubt the term “shock” will be necessary, but the term “reality” may waft aimlessly around your brain cells. The term <em><strong>“Flim Flam Man”</strong></em> should come to mind, if you have heard the term before, synonymous with say, “con artist.” And the worst part is what this hoax, even with &#8220;disclosure exposure,&#8221; is going to cost you.</p>
<p><strong>It is like trying to stop a run away train.</strong> As a matter of fact that is a good description of everything the Obama/Democrat administration is implementing. With his side-kick puppies Pelosi and Reid, they are driving the train into the station at full speed hoping whatever they get to stick will be too hard to fix later. Their intent is to grow government to be a bigger requirement in running your life at every turn.</p>
<p>The Cap and Trade Bill brought forth as a massive government imposed restriction process on business and industry (where we get our jobs from) was deemed necessary to “save the planet!” It’s not menial enough to just cut pollution, it has to be BIG ENOUGH to save the entire planet&#8230;from US!</p>
<blockquote><p>However, as excerpted from one of Ann Coulter’s articles today:</p>
<p>As we now know (and by &#8220;we&#8221; I mean &#8220;everyone with access to the Internet&#8221;), the University of East Anglia&#8217;s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) has just been caught ferociously manipulating the data about the Earth&#8217;s temperature.</p>
<p>These e-mails aren&#8217;t a tempest in a teapot. They are evidence of pervasive fraud by a massively influential institution that has dominated news coverage of global warming.</p>
<p>Most disturbingly, the CRU-affiliated &#8220;scientists&#8221; were caught red-handed conspiring to kill the careers and reputations of scientists who dissented from the religion of global warming. Indignant that scientific journals were publishing papers skeptical of global warming, the cult members plotted to get editors ousted and the publications discredited.</p>
<p>This sabotage of global warming dissenters may be more galling than their manipulation of the data. Until now, the global warming cult&#8217;s sole argument has been to demand that everyone shut up in response to the &#8220;scientific consensus&#8221; that human activity was causing global warming.</p>
<p>CRU was regularly cited as the leading authority on &#8220;global climate analysis&#8221; &#8212; including by the very news outlets that are burying the current scandal, such as The New York Times and The Washington Post. The CRU alone received more than $23 million in taxpayer funds for its work on global warming.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>This is your money folks! </strong>Being used to pay yet another entity to maliciously defraud us in a multitude of ways&#8230;and we, are paying them to do it? It is way past time to be surprised and OMG’d, it’s time to clear out the house and senate and even the oval office already, and get people in there <em><strong>who do actually work for us</strong></em>. For Us, not against us. Think about it. These people bold faced lie to us and claim it is “for the good of the people/planet?”</p>

<p>I will readily admit that Tiger Woods has been a hero of mine for a long, long time. I have been in awe of his talent from his first ventures into the arena &#8230; on to the golf course.</p>
<p>Now I will have to diminish his title to &#8220;Mere Mortal.&#8221; His indiscretional use of wedge, driver and putter is all too human in the celebrity wheel of fortune these days and in that regard, unfortunate. It doesn&#8217;t diminish his talent, unless it effects his mind set while lining up a shot, but it does diminish some of the Magic.</p>

<p>None of us, of course, have been flies on the wall in the Woods home life and the reasons why people do certain things in their lives are known only to them. It is just an unfortunate aspect of  life to have landed on the green of this couple and their kids who seemed by all accounts, to have had it made.</p>
<p>I guess it fits the old adage that &#8220;Rich People have as many problems as Poor People, it&#8217;s just paying the bills isn&#8217;t one of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>My empathy goes out to the Mrs in that here is a beautiful and accomplished woman who likely put her own career on hold to raise kids and maintain the family household to find dad&#8217;s been out &#8220;screwin&#8217; the pooch.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>"Screwed the pooch," meaning "made a terrible mistake," is a
cleaned-up paraphrase that author Tom Wolfe popularized. Wolfe's book
"The Right Stuff," which dealt with the early years of America's
manned space program, used the phrase "screwed the pooch" in
describing a calamitous error made by Mercury Astronaut Gus Grissom. (pinkfreud-ga)</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>I am reminded of a story my older brother told me our grandfather told him when he was 12 or so. Gramps apparently said, <em>&#8220;Bobby, you know what the most expensive thing in your life will be?&#8230; pussy.&#8221;</em> I guess Tiger is &#8220;bearing&#8221; the thought out. Somewhere in the news it was suggested a divorce would cost Tiger around 300 million dollars. Pretty expensive for a &#8220;side-order.&#8221; The same older brother enjoyed expressing this gem also, &#8220;It&#8217;s been so long since I got some on the side, I didn&#8217;t know they&#8217;d moved it.&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-445" title="Elin" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Elin.jpg" alt="Elin" width="125" height="220" /></p>
<p>And what about the old phrase, <strong><em>&#8220;You don&#8217;t go out for hamburger, if you&#8217;ve got steak at home.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p>Hard to comprehend, but we&#8217;re not in it. The only ones who know the truth are they. And I hope somehow the situation will provide something positive in its outcome. Yes, I am ever the optimist.</p>

<p>While we are debating and investigating our involvements in Afghanistan and Iraq, Iran plans to make “hay” in the Mid-East front yard. In all honesty, it is very unfortunate we have to keep an “eye” on the world because there are a number of absolute nut-jobs wanting nothing but to disrupt peaceful life on earth.</p>
<p><strong>The current administration</strong> and our current “main stream press” are all over themselves going after Sarah Palin for “Going Rogue,” but what about an entire nation going rogue. What about the damage to all nations that will I think without doubt effect all nations if the Iranian government keeps pursuing “the nuclear option.”</p>
<p>Some will trace the vehement determination of Iranians to assert their own power over what they claim is their own destiny, back to US, back to events after WW2. In particular “our” support of re-installing the Shah back in the 50&#8217;s is considered a major imposition of “foreign” intervention into the workings of Iran. And that may well be so. History is fraught with nations imposing themselves on other nations, even within nations. But that is what it is, history. The stakes are quite a bit higher now with the potential of nuclear weaponry placed in the hands of radical pot stirrers. We need to pay attention here.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Iran&#8217;s assertiveness on the global stage—especially its defiant pursuit of what it sees as its sovereign right to a nuclear program—is in part the product of traumatic events that have shaped its national consciousness over the course of generations. In fact, all of 20th-century Iranian history can be seen as leading to this confrontation. That history has been dominated by a single burning passion: to destroy the power that foreigners have long held over Iran.</em></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-383" title="welcome to america (2)" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/welcome-to-america-2.jpg" alt="welcome to america (2)" width="500" height="210" /></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Start Spreadin’ the News&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p>The latest action by this Administration to insist on bringing the <strong><em>Freak Sheik</em></strong> to <strong><em>New York City</em></strong> for a civilian trial has to make your head spin. The apparent goal while stated as to show the world the fairness of our legal system seems to be more like let&#8217;s <strong>Make the Sheik a Star! </strong></p>
<p>Holder proceeds to also explain that these <strong>Terrorists</strong> will not go free and that “Failure is not an Option.” Then what is the trial of these enemy combatants, not criminals, for? Their incarceration was never intended or handled as a “law enforcement” issue, it is an “enemy of the state” issue. But here is our “Political” Government inviting a circus of events to take place that will only bring dismay and dissension proliferated on a grand stage by not just this jihadist locust but our own home grown American ingrates as well.<br />
Not only is the decision incredulous to wonder the whys there of, but will actually put the inhabitants of New York City in jeopardy. Every jerk off out there in their death to America t-shirt will be having a field day and bringing whatever degree of expression of discontent they can think of with them. Ludicrous.</p>
<p>Just keep asking yourself WHY and your answer will keep “drilling down” to the truth that the people we have entrusted the direction and welfare of our country to really don’t like, or want, the country we have known to survive as the beacon of freedom and individual ruggedness that created it. They would rather is was an out of control Zoo. Giving these enemy combatants, who have also already confessed to their involvement,  now a “fair” trial <em><strong>is not shining the beacon</strong></em>, it is obscuring the light.</p>
<p>Speaking about the sickness of celebrities, I noticed where Martha Stewart, a lying, cheating convicted criminal gets a celebrity high-light to criticize Sarah Palin and Rachel Ray. I would imagine I am not the only one who would suggest Martha Stewart (and I’m throwing in Rosie O’Donnel back in her View days) &#8230; <a href="http://www.bumpdejour.com/rosie" target="_self">put a sock in it!</a></p>

 Reid All About It! &#8230; Americans in Coma over Health Care!
Who exactly in our citizenry has been “clamoring” for Health Care Revision that requires the Government to take the Health Care System over? Who? Was it YOU? Or You? What group of citizenry has been massing themselves in our streets crying out, “Save Us!” [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-369" title="Duperman (2)" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Duperman-2.jpg" alt="Duperman (2)" width="500" height="210" /></p>
<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden" /> <strong>Reid All About It! &#8230; Americans in Coma over Health Care!</strong></p>
<p>Who exactly in our citizenry has been “clamoring” for Health Care Revision that requires the Government to take the Health Care System over? Who? Was it YOU? Or You? What group of citizenry has been massing themselves in our streets crying out, “Save Us!” “Help!” “Reid, We Need You!”</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-378" title="Duperman Reid (3)" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Duperman-Reid-32-228x300.jpg" alt="Duperman Reid (3)" width="228" height="300" /></p>
<p>Nobody! Except Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Schumer, Dick Durbin, John Kerry, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama&#8230;POLITICIANS. We are being duped into the biggest fiasco the country will have ever seen.</p>
<p>Jammed down your throat or shoved up your butt, either way you want it, you are getting “Politically Abused.” Did you see any Tea Parties calling out for Government to take Control?! Saying &#8220;Please, please&#8230;we can&#8217;t survive without a total take over of our medical system!&#8221; If you had, they would have been called “Pee Parties” asking the Government to Piss Away even more of our Future than they already have!</p>
<p>These megalomaniacs imposing their will on your life don’t care at all about you! Be serious folks. These people aren’t affected by the impositions they put on us. They have their own plans. They don’t subject themselves to these outrages, they exempt themselves. <strong>Why do you think that is?</strong></p>
<p>There are multitudes of opportunity, within the private sector, to rehabilitate our Health Care System in valuable, meaningful and cost effective ways. They don’t want us to be able to fix it ourselves, and especially not to flourish and profit in such a process. <strong>Why do you suppose that is?</strong></p>
<p>They will not enhance our Health Care System, they will stifle it. It will cost more and service will drop. The quality of care, care products and care facilitators will fall dramatically. Who will want to excel in school, study and work hard enough to become a doctor? The Government Plans will diminish the value of “higher medicine” to a point of not being worth pursuing.</p>
<p>Therefore, those who would have studied medicine for the benefit of the patient and their own pocket book (make a living) will need instead to get a law degree and become lawyers. The administration loves lawyers, looks down on doctors, otherwise you would be seeing action regarding tort reform, wouldn&#8217;t you? Rather than impositions on medical personnel and procedures. (The latest guidelines suggesting reductions in preventative breast cancer and pap smear tests for example)</p>
<p>The “interns” in the future will not be upcoming doctors in the hospitals, they will be citizens huddled into the newly Government Provided Internment Camps for the commoners who haven’t paid for their mandated health insurance.</p>
<p>Harry Reid, Lois Pain (Pelosi) and company are not here to help you. They’re here to put you in jail if you don&#8217;t agree with them. Sound ridiculous?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-376" title="Reid Addressing America" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Reid-Addressing-America.jpg" alt="Reid Addressing America" width="150" height="103" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-358" title="Palin for President" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Palin-for-President.jpg" alt="Palin for President" width="500" height="210" />What an absolutely absurd disappointment. <em><strong>I had seen ads for George Lopez’ new show</strong></em> and the whole “party” theme and the potential showcase for his brilliant comedy. Since I had not been a follower of his last show, I thought this might be a chance to see his sense of humor “sans script.” I did have to admit that one of the reasons I never followed the last show was I couldn’t stay with an episode long enough to develop any kind of interest. <em><strong>It just wasn’t very funny.</strong></em></p>
<p>So I thought&#8230;maybe it was just the setting of the show and on his own he would be comically entertaining. But the new show is on a channel I don’t catch often and don’t know the timing of, so I hadn’t caught it yet.</p>
<p>Last night, however, I was channel surfing and stumbled on the show. <em><strong>I didn’t even last 30 seconds. </strong></em>He is in some kind of monologue and he is bringing up Sarah Palin (of course talk of the town today since her book comes out today) and it is an obvious slam coming just in his pronunciation of Palin’s name. His next comment is “her new book is coming out called Going Rogue, why don’t we call this piece of s**t Going Away and get rid of her”&#8230; <em><strong>which was not only all I needed to hear of his new show, but all I will ever need to hear from or about George Lopez.</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-359" title="George Lopez" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Lopez-2.jpg" alt="Lopez (2)" width="150" height="205" /></p>
<p>Is this what comedy has become? Is this what is funny! And yes, the people did laugh. Does Lopez know Sarah Palin well enough to make that kind of statement? And of course he has read the book to be able to make the comment about it being a piece of s**t. This must also mean he has an inside track in the publishing business since the book wasn’t even out yet.</p>
<p>My objection isn’t that Lopez has an “opinion”, but to use his “talent forum” to spew what the media so vehemently blames conservatives of &#8230; hatred, showcased what a peanut sized brain this guy has. This is how he makes people laugh? Which brings me back to the question as to whether this is what comedy has become? People seemed to think it was “funny.” What an unfortunate degradation of social discourse it has become to have this banter of crap helping weave the fabric of our land. We’re losing it if we think this is funny.</p>
<p>Saturday Night Live seems to be able to wax politically, humorously, without having to resort to rank vile hate stirring rhetoric. I am now forced to assume that George Lopez is not funny without it. I guess since I wasn’t able to stay with his first show either, I must not find George Lopez very funny at all. What’s the old phrase?&#8230; &#8220;Different Strokes.&#8221;</p>
<p>By the way, the sticker isn’t because I think Palin is even going to run, this time, but to illustrate the Libs most abhorrent fear, Sarah Palin for President. Isn’t it time to wonder what these people are so afraid of. They’re certainly not afraid of keeping us out of work. They’re not afraid of bringing terrorists into the country. They not afraid of no protection on our borders. They’re not afraid of destroying companies and competition. They’re not afraid of bankrupting the country &#8230; but they seem to be terrified of Sarah Palin. <em><strong>I wonder why?</strong></em></p>

<p>After the Presidential election in 2008, the phrase <strong>“elections have consequences”</strong> became the acknowledgment phrase of the day. True to phrase, the consequences of that election have been extraordinarily dreadful. The Democrats determined a 7% winning vote as a mandate that the people wanted their sweeping Liberal agenda jammed down our throats. Obama received 52.9% while McCain took 45.7%. I’ll even be generous and say a 7.2% winning vote. This is what the Liberal Democrats feel is some kind of landslide to give them free reign over the will of the people.</p>
<p>Well, the people are speaking up. The vote in Virginia results are close enough to completion to say the Republican Governor candidate is winning by an 18% margin. The Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate is winning by a 16% margin and the Republican Attorney General candidate is winning by an 18% margin. <em><strong>So I guess the Democrats would consider these results a double landslide</strong></em>, a double mandate?</p>
<p>While they will pass it off as probably the citizens of Virginia just not knowing any better and the New York Times will find a way to claim someone put something in the water so it’s not realistic or some other ridiculous excuse, but the people are starting their march toward taking the country back from these irresponsible dolts.</p>
<p><strong>Booyah!</strong></p>

<p><strong> Think about it Folks!</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-343" title="Gettysburg_Address" src="http://www.bumpdejour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Gettysburg_Address1-300x298.jpg" alt="Gettysburg_Address" width="300" height="298" /></strong><em><strong>&#8220;Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>But in a larger sense we can not dedicate &#8211; we can not consecrate &#8211; we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us &#8211; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion &#8211; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Abraham Lincoln 1863<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>We are getting ever so much farther and farther away from our forefather&#8217;s image that I think they would be brought to tears. Even in these &#8220;modern&#8221; times these people would easily see right through the veil of crap Liberals have been laying over the Constitution for decades to obscure what  is written within it. We have to stand up and fight to keep our God given rights sovereign as the way we live, and that the great nation we have been, &#8220;shall not perish from the earth&#8221;</p>
