Do we patriots truly want the woman in the following article to be our model for our children?
She refuses to do her duty because she claims an exemption for having a child.
What message does this send to women, if you have a child you can exempt yourself from hazardous duty? The very condition to which you enlisted?
Only in a politically correct America can we have this situation develop. We are destroying our society by allowing this sort of claim to be rationally made. STOP THE NONSENSE! No one went to her house and dragged her off to the military, it was volunteer on her part! She was not coerced into having this baby, it was voluntary on her part! Decisions she makes do have consequences. What, should someone else be made to go to war in place of her just because she chose to have a child?
This is nonsense!

"Extremism in the Defense of Liberty..."
Dorothy,
Thank you, for your earlier letter, though I cannot fathom the reason you felt it was necessary.
You wrote from your heart on a matter of grave consequent: the belief that this country is involved in a momentous struggle for its very identity marks you as a true patriot.
Your comments called to mind that great orator and statesman Barry Goldwater, who said in his acceptance speech at the 1964 Republican National Convention in San Francisco: "I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice... And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
Now, I was too young then to have witnessed the speech, and I am ashamed to say that I had not read it until this evening, but I would encourage you to read it. It can be found here. (Cut and paste it into your browser if you are unable to click on the link)

This speech furthered my resolve and encouraged me to continue to struggle for liberty in the face of this massive government intrusion into our lives. The speech brought to mind the words of the father of this country who said in a letter to James Madison, "No morn ever dawned more favorable than ours did; and no day was ever more clouded than the present. Wisdom and good example are necessary at this time to rescue the political machine from the impending storm," George Washington to James Madison, 1786.

You pay more for less
Have you been screwed by Obama's Promise: No taxes on Americans earning under $200K a year? Well if you haven't yet felt the sting of the Obama Administration you will come next April 15th!
All you useful idiots who voted the most socialist candidate into office on the belief that he would bring change to Washington D.C, boy are you in for a shock. It is still business as usual, just the players have changed. But wait! In order for Obama to fund his grandiose scheme of tax and spend, guess what? You will pay! along with the "rich" people you so dispise. Even people on Social Security are not immune from the Obama disease; a disease brought about through rapacious and fevered spending.

And The People Shall Lead...
When all else fails, look to the people.
Voters in Virginia today cast-off the rule of big-government and instead opted for the rarefied air which comes with liberty and personal responsibility.
Only 8 months of his term is finished and the vote in Virginia signals a mood-shift in America. Gone are the wide-eyed, gape-mouthed millions who swooned at the feet of the first black man elected president of this Great Country. Reality sets in.
With a projected deficit of $1.4 T(!)rillion dollars is the Obama administration beginning to see the folly of its elaborate expenditures? Not really. The promise of "Hope" and "Change" may be turning into the reality of despair and deficit, but Obama and his three dogs, Reid, Pelosi and Hoyer, continue to think if they can spend enough of the people's money their legacy will be secure. Together this quatrain of liberal liars have told us that they are for changing the way Washington does business. Despite the fact that pundits like Michelle Malkin have shown us that The Four Horesemen of Decay are really about the rotten business-as-usual of corruption on a much grander scale.
Today we send a message to this democratic cabal: if you don't change your profligate ways you will be out on your collective keesters in 2010, 2012 and 2014. Count on it!
