Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step over the ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! -- All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln. 16th US President. Served four terms in the Illinois legislature, became a lawyer, then served one term in the US House of Representatives. Not someone you'd say was "experienced" as he'd never served as a govenor before being elected as president.
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 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 on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field 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. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot 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 it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

Everything seems like a good idea at first. The TV is already being used against us (for example, it just delivered its first president with little opposition). I figure the internet will eventually be used to gather information on us that can be used for or against us. Our population is becoming so ignorant at the hands of government/public schools, it will believe damn near anything. I have often though that type of chip would be great to have implanted in children to aid in speedy recovery when they are lost or kidnapped. That would be a good thing, but there are other applications that would not be a good thing. We have already accepted the mark of the beast, the antiChirst spirit of the world. Try doing anything without a social security number (unless you are a Mexican here illegally), a drivers license, or a debit or credit card. We are marked already. And there will be destruction in Europe, but I think Mr. Lincoln was talking about the fall of America, that it could only happen from within, like with the election of a Marxist like Borax. HH, you need to realize that I do not mourn that we elected Borax because he has black blood (very little of it). I mourn that we elected him because of his philosophy. Bush being bad on some issues does not make Obama the right choice. The media simply did not do their job exposing him. They were too busy worrying about how much Palin's wardrobe cost. I am glad black people think they got a pretty package. It is just too bad about what is on the inside of the package. Frankly, we can only guess what is in that package. The media was too busy masterbating over him instead of doing their jobs and exposing all there is to know about him and his Marxist leanings and associations. The next Hitler can just as easily be foisted on us in a pretty gold package. The far left can enslave and murder just as easily as the far right. Stalin taught the world that. The far left has killed many more people than far right. And Hitler called himself a socialist even though he is associated with the far right. He was the candidate that was going to bring change as well. I do not think that Borax is another Hitler, but the point is that things are not always as they seem. Someone who simply appeals to the ethnicity of people, whether it be blacks or "pure" Germans, is not appealing to people for the right reasons. And responding to someone simply for that reason is no better.

As a retired history teacher I learned most of the great civilizations were rotten on the inside when another power would deliver the final blow. We will be no different if God allows this world to exist long enough. -

Amen, brother, amen. I heard a guy on the Savage Nation last night talking about the life cycle of a democracy. Most democracies have lasted at most about 200 years. We are in the final stages, which has to do with dependence on government, and then back to bondage. And most democracies revert to dictatorships eventually. Will Obama be our first dictator? Will he be our Fidel Castro? If we elect a few more Democrats to congress, he will have the super majority he needs to change the constitution and plunge us back into the dark ages of dictatorship. Now that is change you can believe in.
