Rebel Roundup - 11/9/09 - The Wall Came Tumblin' Down

…when The Wall came down.

I was working in radio in Tupelo, Mississippi. I came in from a very long day of live broadcasts after working my morning show. I was exhausted. Turned on the tube and NBC Nightly News was on, with Tom Brokaw saying things like, historic," and “unheard of,” and “guards laughing with citizens.”

The pictures were so foreign to me, I could only sit in awe. I remembered the black-and-white news reels of the East Germans trying to escape and either, at best being shredded in the acres of razor wire or at worst being gunned down by communist soldiers.

This was remarkable. Gaping holes in the wall, with East and West Germans atanding on TOP of the wall, smoking, drinking, dancing, and essentially loving one another! Young people smashing on the wall with shared sledge hammers! Old people taking a whack as well! I didn’t speak for an hour. I could only think back to Ronaldus Magnus’ famous “TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!” speech and seeing it actually happen.

It is so terribly sad that as we freed them and handed them their freedom, the Progressives in our own United States Politics have pushed us so dangerously close to that from which we freed them.

It nauseates me.

Read your history people. Yes, it can be dry. Yes, it can be boring. But if you don’t learn from it, you will see your freedom snatched away.

There is a reason why those people celebrated getting their freedom back. They lost friends and family members to execution and prison for trying to keep the hope of freedom alive.

If you don’t care to fight for freedom, you don’t deserve to have it. I, for one, will fight for it, if not for the selfish desires I have of being able to say and do what I want when I want, then for my children. I don’t want them to grow up under the oppression that will certainly come if we do not control this maniacal narcissist! I don’t want them to tell my grandchildren that they never knew what happened to their daddy when the Obama Police came and took him away in the middle of the night.

And if you think that’s not the natural progression to his plan, you’re a fool.

Woodrow Wilson did it (jailed his opponents and others vocal against his progressive plans). Franklin Roosevelt did it (jailed those who were against paying confiscatory tax rates used to fund socialist work programs…NOT the war).

BTW…they were both Democrats.

Right on point and I wish people would wake the F up these days. Since when was taking a free handout from anyone acceptable? Our grandparents would loathe the US as a nation these days with all the free loaders wanting a free ride. What happened to working for whatever it is you want???

Back to football – How in the world is Bradley Sowell so horrible and he is also getting suspended for academics? I’m glad he wasn’t on the field, but he sucks as a player AND he’s getting suspended? I wish they would just suspend him for the rest of the season…….

Get ready for UT.

“News Channel 3 has learned that U of M football coach Tommy West has been fired. However, West has been asked to stay on until the end of the season. Look for more on this breaking story on News Channel 3.”

Is this the 1st head to roll this season?

did China disappear while I was sleeping? Before I went to bed, they existed as the sole “true, powerful communist entity in the world” but stranger things have happened while I slept before so I thought I’d ask.
