GEORGE WASHINGTON STATED

Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty teeth.



First Inaugural Address of George Washington...April 30, 1789

The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Abraham Lincoln said:

"In this age, and in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it nothing can suceed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes, or pronounces judicial decisions."

James Madison Declared

The adversaries of the Constitution seem to have lost sight of the PEOPLE altogether in their reasonings on this subject; and to have viewed these different establishments not only as mutual rivals and enemies, but as uncontrolled by any common superior in their efforts to usurp the authorities of each other. These gentlemen must be reminded of their error. They must be told that the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY, wherever the derivative may be found, RESIDES IN THE PEOPLE ALONE. (Federalist Papers, No. 46, p.294; emphasis added.)

President "plan a day" Obama

It seems that every time I turn on the radio, watch the TV or open the newspaper President Obama has a new plan to announce for the day. Usually they are vague, cloudy, foggy and don't contain any specific details on how he is going to do it or afford it. The one thing it does do is keep his face and voice in the public venue....like he really is doing something. Announcing a plan of the day and really getting something accomplished are two different things. Just like a politician's promises and what he really accomplishes are two different things. Words, promises and plans are nothing unless they accomplish what they are supposed to do...as we all have seen, what politicians say to bolster their image and improve their public approval rating is one thing and what they really do can be a world apart. So listen to all the nice talk, promises and goals but follow them up by seeing if anything ever gets accomplished. Look in today's Herald and read about his new plan of the day, his "job - creation plan". I can also promise you the world and everything in it but if I were you I would not believe me because I couldn't deliver on my promise. So BEWARE of prophets and Presidents bearing to many promises.
