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.)

Pres. Obama....don't lecture Israel

President Obama, whose domestic, economic and foreign policies are in shambles has no business lecturing Israel's Prime Minister Netenyahu at their last meeting in July. The President presumed to push Israel and Mr. Netenyahu into a position of "willing to take risks for peace." Since Israel's founding over 60 years ago, that nation has taken many "risks" in the hope that it would further in developing peace with the Palestinians and Gaza. All of these risks were to no avail, they were unilateral on the part of Israel and were rewarded by more rockets, bombs and attacks against Israel's military and innocent civilians.

Over the last 60 plus years, Israel has been rewarded, by the Arab world, with nothing in return except more violence and more killing and more vitriol. Rational people and governments eventually reach a point when they have an epiphany; you can't deal with the other side until they have a conversion, a change of heart. Until that time comes nothing will change for the better and our President is intelligent enough to know that fact.
