Thank you, all of you. It is a pleasure and more importantly, an honor to serve each and everyone of you, (Liberals included) and the United States of America. When my time comes, I will refuse to serve at the gates of Heaven. I will demand (OK, so I won't demand) I will beg to be sent to America to serve again. Know that I will always have your back, in this life and the next.
Semper Fi....(to everyone)

K.MARX & AC: As the Marines I served with would say 'SHOVE OFF!'. This thread is to note the anniversary of the creation of the USMC, simply that. I'm a liberal that loves giving FNC and conservative posters hell, but this ain't the place. While in the Navy I knew a few Marines, the Air Wing guys were pretty cool, they knew how to use a knife and fork ; )

Authentic Conservative

by Andrew Napolitano
*
We Can't Sit Back and Allow the Loss of Our Freedoms
*
We elect the government. It works for us. As we watch the Democrats' plans for health care take shape, we can only ask how did our government get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives?
*
Last Saturday, at 11 o’clock in the evening, the House of Representatives voted by a five vote margin to have the federal government manage the health care of every American at a cost of $1 trillion dollars over the next ten years.
*
For the first time in American history, if this bill becomes law, the Feds will force you to buy insurance you might not want, or may not need, or cannot afford. If you don’t purchase what the government tells you to buy, if you don’t do so when they tell you to do it, and if you don’t buy just what they say is right for you, the government may fine you, prosecute you, and even put you in jail. Freedom of choice and control over your own body will be lost. The privacy of your communications and medical decision making with your physician will be gone. More of your hard earned dollars will be at the disposal of federal bureaucrats.
*
It was not supposed to be this way. We elect the government. It works for us. How did it get so removed, so unbridled, so arrogant that it can tell us how to live our personal lives? Evil rarely comes upon us all at once, and liberty is rarely lost in one stroke. It happens gradually, over the years and decades and even centuries. A little stretch here, a cave in there, powers are slowly taken from the states and the people and before you know it, we have one big monster government that recognizes no restraint on its ability to tell us how to live. It claims the power to regulate any activity, tax any behavior, and demand conformity to any standard it chooses.
*
The Founders did not give us a government like the one we have today. The government they gave us was strictly limited in its scope, guaranteed individual liberty, preserved the free market, and on matters that pertain to our private behavior was supposed to leave us alone.
*
In the Constitution, the Founders built in checks and balances. If the Congress got out of hand, the states would restrain it. If the states stole liberty or property, the Congress would cure it. If the President tried to become a king, the courts would prevent it.
