"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

War Porn for Rue St. Michel
Recently the Lair had a visit from "Rue St. Michel" [see comments section of the "Obama-Bad-Ass" post], a fellow Chicago police officer whose political leanings are, to put it mildly, considerably to the right of yours truly. The following clip I found courtesy of The Red Stater Dennis Perrin and I thought immediately of the Rue-ster whose ravings I encourage you to read if, for nothing else, their sheer entertainment value. Nothing excites Rue more than American Empire making the world safe for “democracy and freedom”.

Yep, coldie, those conservatives sure do love war. Oddly enough, many of them never fought in one though.
Oddly enough, every war except ONE has been initiated by a Democrat. Hmmmm....how come that factoid didn't make it into your database?
Seriously though Coldie, that was touching. Thanks for the link-love and for the kind words. You're generalizing alittle with me but let's call it poetic license, K?
That snippet was great. "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath was the perfect tune to accompany that montage of pure, unadulterated American Power. I got goose-bumps watching it. I liked the part where the American soldier was sniping from atop a building with his .50cal Barrett sniper rifle. That thing could stop a tank!
And yes I do love it when our politicians grow some backbone and send our Soldiers to take care of business. Call it Vietnam Hangover Syndrome but I think those guys should be celebrated and not denigrated.
You can't export Democracy by sending products and ideas overseas. The day the Towers were bombed, 84% of the Muslim population had the pictures on their cellphones. You can't export values but you can eliminate the threats and that tears down barriers to enlightenment.
OOoohhh - Rahhh!!!! God bless the United States of America. We'll never forget what they did on 9/11/01 and their blood will flow in response.
