Of course, this isn’t much motivation to take up the fight if you don’t believe God exists in the first place. It’s one thing to say “Give me liberty or give me death” when the latter means an eternal reward in heaven, quite another when it means utter oblivion.

In a world where true evil has singled out America as the “Great Satan”, our president is eroding our patriotism to a point where we will no longer be able to defend ourselves. After all, you have to believe in what you are fighting for – radical Islam certainly does. And they will continue in this manner regardless of how far backwards our president bends over to accomodate them. Does he honestly believe that he can smooth-talk men who are willing to spend years training to fly an airplane into a building of innocent civilians?

You are right and you are wrong , both at the same time.

What must be realized is that the sweetest joy of living is to have set your heart upon that which is the most virtuous. Knowing that when you have breathed your last and you step through that final gate and into the presence of God, He will look upon you and say “well done!”. This despite the fact that we all have tried and failed in the pursuit of virtue. That is the reason why
no tyrant or trouble can ever really subdue an honorable man.
That is why we take up the fight even though it appears there is no hope of success. It is the pinnacle of freedom and it is the essence of the Founders’ Dream.

Only the truly “enlightened” know the truth; it is arrogance that Americans excel at, not greatness.

That’s a fascinating statement, because it captures the sentiment of the left, while completely inverting the truth. Let me shift a few words around:

It is arrogance that only the truly “enlightened” know the truth, (not!); Americans excel at greatness.

True, and what I said following that is my estimation of Alinsky’s intellect, i.e. it was immature.

You just put your finger on precisely what’s so pernicious about academic brain boys like Alinsky – they’re diabolically manipulative savants without having the wisdom to put that to good use.

They remind me of the Star Trek episode where there was an adolescent boy with telepathic powers, able to take over the enterprise, and a war of wills with Kirk ensued.

As I recall, Kirk eventually overcame him by distracting him with too many tasks. I think our current CIC is currently going through a similar trial.

If we want to survive and to rebuild our great nation along the lines of the Founding Father, then we have to go back to the ancient paths. We have to rediscover the principles and values that made us great. Ad Fonte – back to the source – was the cry of the Reformation and it should now be the cry of the conservative movement. We should go back to the founding documents and the founding philosophies that worked rather than embracing the progressive experimentation that has never worked.

Mr. Obama and anyone who promotes government as the solution to all of our problems is promoting nothing but a false messiah. Their goal is not the liberation of the individual but the enslavement. Let us not go gentle into the darkness but rage against the dying of the light by rekindling the flames of liberty from the spark and fodder of 1776.

You needs be careful, however. The tyrants come for the intellectuals first. There’s a tattoo waiting with your number on it. (softly, sonorously spoken, with ominous music playing in the background)

The kind of generation you allude that launched and took part in the uprising against Fascism, Oppression and Bolshevism like the Italians, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs etc. died in America along with George Washington and the new generation has not born yet.
Events must run its full course and this century will be the end of Historical America and the assent of Marxism-Leninism. Turning the flag upside down will offer no help.

True, and what I said following that is my estimation of Alinsky’s intellect, i.e. it was immature.
