Remember America

America’s birthday party on July 4 is a reminder of our heritage. Talk about luck! What arrangement of the stars put men of such great wisdom together in Philadelphia to hammer out a constitution which created the bedrock for the most successful nation on the planet?

It makes the contention of Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, that a Hispanic woman’s judgment out shines the wisdom of white men seem kind of . . . well, dubious. That six of her rulings were overturned by the higher courts confirms the obvious. Her intellect is stained with the kind of bigotry that conflicts with constitutional objectivity.

Don’t forget the pioneers who forged this nation with pure guts. And never forget that at least one-half of all the early colonists arrived as indentured servants. They were slaves by any definition. They gave up five to ten years of their lives for the cost of passage.

And imagine this! They succeeded without political correctness, affirmative action, diversity, multi-culturalism and government handouts. The same can’t be said of Mr. Obama or Ms. Sotomayor. They owe their success to double standards.

One can only imagine this pair sitting in the room with Madison, Jefferson and Hamilton whining about the lack of government handouts and the need for reverse discrimination.

The ashes of the Civil War were still smoldering when picks, shovels and dynamite linked the west coast with the east coast in 1869. The transcontinental railroad coupled the spoils of the Mexican War with the east and the land acquired from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803, called the Louisiana Purchase.

Only two years before the railroad coupled the nation, Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State concluded a deal with Russia to purchase Alaska. The press mocked this decision, calling it a folly. These little men didn’t stop their yapping until gold was discovered. At least the press bad mouthing the decisions of a Republican president hasn’t changed.

Our forefathers created a nation which has withstood two world wars, terrifying epidemics, the Great Depression and Communism. They revolutionized production and the sciences, put men on the moon and opened their hearts and treasury to those they vanquished in self-defense.

Not to be outdone, Obama just created a national debt of historic proportions and has grandiose plans to destroy the business model that accomplished these feats.

This nation recognizes and attempts to rectify its mistakes, believes in personal freedom and is a worthy friend. No other country in history has sacrificed more to free subjugated people and promote the prosperity of mankind.

And there sits Obama with a plan to subsidize the life style of 20 million illegal aliens, destroy the best healthcare system in the world, and cripple the growth of commerce by rationing energy. His willingness to cuddle dictators is a slap in the face to every American who sacrificed his or her life to stop tyranny.

Don’t trust Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Barney Frank.

We can succeed without the federal government suppressing our freedoms and ridiculing our core values. Socialists and Marxists and fascists don’t understand what made this country strong. These affirmative action creations actually believe government initiatives, rather than individuals with vision, built this nation.

These little people love second raters. In fact they have dedicated their lives to stopping the cream from rising in American society. Let’s dedicate our lives to stopping them. We owe it to our children and grandchildren.
