We are experiencing some very dark and forbidding days my friends. That is for sure. It can be difficult to say the least, to maintain a sense of optimism when we see people like John Bolton, who’s sole purpose is to tear down and destroy, appointed to a position of power, behind our backs, in spite of the sustained and valiant efforts of the democrats to oppose this disaster in the making.
If there was one good quality my Mother ever taught me, it was to……..
NEVER GIVE UP
Not ever. If you feel defeated and unable to carry on, you must dig deep within yourself one last time and summon the fortitude to push ahead, no matter what. Sometimes that means flying blindly on faith alone. We all know what is happening to our country, yet the foe we face is resourceful and determined. We know that they are not gonna go without a fight. If it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’re gonna get, because we aren’t gonna surrender our godamned country to them. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not EVER.
They have gone and fucked with the wrong bunch of Americans, I can tell you that. They have underestimated us and that is their fatal miscalculation.
All you people here…..I love you. You are the finest people I know, and I’m godamned proud to be among you. Now if you can go another day, then so can I. Today we had a setback. Tomorrow we regroup and take it to them again and again, until we wrest from them whats left of this great country and start to rebuild and reach out again to our friends around the world.
They ain’t taking our country from us. Uh uh
*Update*
Here is a small way we can help others who are fighting this regime.

Just so you all know, I’m not saying any of you would ever give up. It’s just that I know we’re taking some licks right now and our situation was pissing me off even more. This call to carry on is for me as much as anyone else.
Peace
Nope! Never!!!

Quote from speech by Jan Peter Balkenende at Margraten
President Franklin D. Roosevelt said that freedom is incomplete without freedom from want and freedom from fear. He also said, “The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.”
The truth of what he said in 1941, can still be recognised – must still be recognised – here, at Margraten, on the eighth of May 2005.
We must not leave anyone behind. We must never take freedom for granted. We must keep working with our partners in the West and East.

Recently posted: This much we pledge–and more
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do–for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

My first instinct would be to quote Bruce Springsteen, but I’ll offer this from Robert F. Kennedy:
All great questions must be raised by great voices, and the greatest voice is the voice of the people – speaking out – in prose, or painting, or poetry, or music; speaking out – in homes and halls, streets and farms, courts and cafes – let that voice speak and the stillness you hear will be the gratitude of mankind.
E pluribus unum – out of many, one.
Bravo Sir…Bravo
Keep the Faith
Peace
Aho my brother

Supersoling…thanks. You are so right. We must stay focused and alert. Some days I honestly eel this administration will be their own undoing. Other days I am appalled at what they continue to get away with. One day at a time. One day at a time. Together WILL get our country back. We owe it to the children.
Stubbornly,I refuse to give up hope that America will wake up,and smell the sanity.
