A Couple of Things From This Weekend

I got back from DC this afternoon after dealing with moonbats, idiots, traitors, bigots, and public servants who refuse to listen to the will of the electorate.

Jonn over at This Aint Hell has more on everything except Arlington.

Lets deal with the serious stuff first:
1. Jerry Rivers had a report on FoxNews last night alleging that average Americans were standing out in front of the Canon Building yelling racial slurs and spitting on members of Congress on Saturday. As soon as the members of Congress affected by this alleged behavior produce a video of this incident which establishes proof beyond a reasonable doubt, I will be the first to call for the resigination of the members of whatever Tea Party/Citizens Group they belong to and insist they perform various acts of contrition which may include but not be limited to, cleaning toilets, scrubbing floors, painting houses, and raking leaves for the members of Congress affected. Bigotry in any form cannot be tolerated in a free society. It must be eliminated.

So far the only video of the event available does not support the alleged bigotry and hatred.



2. We do however, have documented evidence of true hatred and bigotry which ocurred Sunday morning at the Arlington National Cemetary. I went to Arlington National Cemetary this morning and witnessed it in its purest form. Westboro Ba'athist Chruch made an appearence this morning at 1100. Members of DCFreeRepublic, DCProtestWarrior, Gathering of Eagles and the Old Guard stood in support of the heros who could not stand for themselves. Yes, I said the Old Guard. These young Warriors exhibited an enormous amount of restraint and professionalism during this incident.

Warriors of Honor

Character: Lee and Jackson

"Let each man resolve to be victorious, and that the right of self-government, liberty, and peace shall find him a defender." --Robert E. Lee

"[M]y religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave." --Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson

Today we take a moment to remember the birth anniversaries of Robert E. Lee (Jan. 19) and Stonewall Jackson (Jan. 21), two of the greatest military commanders in American history. They also were great men of faith who gave their all (Jackson his life) for the cause of liberty and states' rights, which we at The Patriot hold so dear. Some may question our decision to honor men of the Confederate States of America, but we encourage those readers to consider our correction of the record. The honor we give these men has its roots in the founding of this great nation.

Mark Alexander notes in his essay,"Lincoln's Legacy at 200," that "the causal case for states' rights is most aptly demonstrated by the words and actions of Gen. Lee, who detested slavery and opposed secession. In 1860, however, Gen. Lee declined Lincoln's request that he take command of the Army of the Potomac, saying that his first allegiance was to his home state of Virginia: 'I have, therefore, resigned my commission in the army, and save in defense of my native state... I hope I may never be called on to draw my sword.'

He would, soon thereafter, take command of the Army of Northern Virginia, rallying his officers with these words: 'Let each man resolve to be victorious, and that the right of self-government, liberty, and peace
shall find him a defender.'"
