The statist theocracy that now infests this nation is implementing its plans to enslave We The People's posterity with the heinous anti-virtue of today.

    I'm struggling to find any virtue in the Obama, Pelosi, Waxman, and Frank gang. Jesse James and his bunch were far less dangerous to the Country than the gang mentioned above.

    Each generation must discover and defend their freedom and honor themselves -- the government can never be trusted with that responsibility.

    To learn virtue and the benefits of it is ultimately why we are here and history is full of examples where humanity comes close to this goal and then by hook or by crook is led away from this knowledge and into the destitution America is experiencing today. It's the same old story as there is nothing new under the sun.
