I read and hear daily of the argument for tolerance. Of course that is primarily aimed at our need to be tolerant of Islam; Muslims use our freedoms against us and we are encouraged to be tolerant of others. It all takes me back to my youth when I grew up racing track rabbits, then go-karts, mini-bikes and motorcycles.
When you grow up on the tracks as a kid you learn about engines and how they operate. I used to know a lot of things about engines then worked a decade in trucking and ran shops and learned about the diesel engine. One thing you learn about all those intricate parts and what makes the engine work. One of those things is the 'tolerance' allowed in building the parts.
You see if you want a high performance engine the tolerance allowed in each of the component parts is very little. In other words, if you want the engine to produce at its prime level then the piston you place in the cylinder and the cylinder itself must meet optimum designed for 'tolerance' or it will not perform as desired. It is just a fact. When the engine gets where you might need to replace a cylinder liner or the piston or other worn parts to 'maintain' the required 'tolerance' to insure performance.
Now think about this great nation. It is built on immigrants and we have always had open doors and we tolerated many religions, languages and increasingly, behavior. Why? Because that is what we, as Americans, do. Now introduce Islam. I have no problem with people being Muslim and worshiping their 'religion' any more than I care that people worship as Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists or anything else.
What I have a problem with is that their 'religion' comes with Sharia Law which violently conflicts with any behavior in a democratic country or even common sense. You see no other religions that bring with it their own laws and expect the society in which they now live to 'conform' to their beliefs and not become part of their 'new home'. That is where we are expected to be 'tolerant'. And this great country will not be as productive or as civil as it once was.
There are two ways to have the tallest building in town. One way is to build the tallest building; the other is to knock everyone else's building down but yours. That is Islam in action. They live with laws of the dark ages or even before. Their behavior and beliefs are in the stone age. And I say more power to them if that is what they believe. As long as you stay in your country and 'worship' as you will. But don't bring those 'laws' to my country - we do not believe as you do, and, this is our country.
The so called Nation of Islam believes in cutting the clitoris out of their daughters at pre-school age. They believe in demeaning women to the point that they are mere property. They believe in segregation, which we did away with decades ago. They believe in selling their daughters into marriage at any age. Where is our vaunted defenders of womens rights the National Organization of Women? The believe in mercy killings. Where is the American Civil Liberties Union?
If you think about it we went after David Korash in Waco for his off shoot organization and burned it to the ground. We went after Warren Jeff's and his polygamist group for 'raping' children and having more than one wife, bigamy, a law we sometimes enforce. Then we have Islam moving into our country under our noses doing many worse things than Korash or Jeff's and we are to be tolerant.
We are a nation that better get educated on Islam and better question the meaning of the word tolerant or our great nation will soon be a very underperforming engine headed for the scrap heap.

Houston Radio Jock on Fire with some Serious Truth About America
Immigration is a big deal in border states, not like mine in Montana because Canadians are doing fine and run a fine country. If you're in Texas you feel like this guy ... who says if we cannot get amped up and do something about the tragedy of a President we voted in office ... then we have the country we deserve. November is coming and we need to help boot these guys out of office. Our growth in government is 25% since this Bozo took office ... in just 18 months. Get hot, listen to this guy, pass the word and do something!

A Message from Paul Vallely Well Worth Reading
The People Ask for Resignations
By Paul E. Vallely MG, US Army (Ret)
The Declaration of Independence states: “To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.”
We cannot permit the current leaders in the White House and Halls of Congress to continue in their efforts to lead us down the road of Progressive Socialism. This is the current battle we Constitutionalists face and we must be aggressive in our efforts. Notice, I have eliminated the terms of liberal…conservative…left and right as they have little meaning in today’s battle for our Country. Incompetence of officials now come into play as relates to our National Security and Economy and is the rationale for resignations. The names of Holder and Napolitano ring true.
My emphasis in this article will be on Demand Resignation by the people of this country.
The oath is simple and reads:
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.” Sadly, we have seen them violate their oath. Fraud, lying, and corruption are rampant and some have engaged in treasonous activities, and they effectively thumb their noses at us and have sold you to the highest bidder.
The Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution, which granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote and secure the Blessings of Liberty. The balance of authority and individual liberty was understood. Power was confined to that which was enumerated in the Constitution with a certain and meaningful intent for check and balances.
Lincoln issued this warning in his inaugural address, “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This is a most valuable and sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.” Being a representative republic, not a democracy, “rising up” means other than revolution by means of arms. The people must “rise up” from the grass roots; we must think of the greater good. We are limited in the peaceful transfer of power…resignation, elections, and impeachment.
Article One, S5, CII and the 10th Amendment provides the authority but this has been trumped by a system that rewards the powerful. In 1803 each congressional district averaged 38,476 people, in 2010 it is forecast to exceed 710,000. These numbers indicate power growth, and it effectively grew eight fold in the 20th century alone. No wonder our representatives seek to stay in office so long. Power is the basis now for running for office and staying in office, where civilian service was the goal in the past! No wonder our representatives seek to stay in office so long. With incumbency comes power. The party in the majority assigns power, so a long-term sitting representative can expect such power. A representative expected to stay in office in the 3rd Congress for approximately 2 years now expects 12 years, or 6 terms - so much for a “citizen government.”
“Tip” O’Neill, once said: “All politics are local.” This is never truer than today when entrenched politicians, long in office, build war chests impossible to overcome. But this can be changed, through grass roots organization and discourse. We have recently witnessed that this can happen as is witnesses in “Tip” O’Neil’s own backyard with the ground-thundering win by Scott Brown who won Ted Kennedy’s old Senate seat. We must make it a local imperative and movement….of the People…by the People… and For the People.
“We, the People” have had enough. Those in office now are on a socialist and treasonous death march and are bankrupting the country. We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office. “We, the People” cannot wait for the next round of elections. It is now that these public servants must put our interests above self-interest by resigning immediately. Our so-called Representatives and Senators are more interested in party loyalty than performing their duties. So, do not expect them to resign en masse or be impeached. Therefore the “people” must decide. A civil uprising is still not out of the question. They know which side of the bread their butter is on and it is not on our side. The Tea Party. Stand Up America and Saddle Up America Projects will continue to be the strength of this Constitutionalist movement.
I am confident more Resignations will be forthcoming based on the efforts of the people. The Vote in 2010 will be critical as well. This means raising your voice now to your neighbors, family, co-workers, and friends. Grass roots efforts have begun; it is now time to put that effort into over drive.

Finish Strong, no Whining
I remember my first patrol in Nam. I was blessed to be a sniper assigned to Force Recon. I skimped on taking C-rats, too heavy. When the chopper was coming to get us ... it didnt. Weather or priorities or whatever. Three days later it came in. When the team lead for Force Recon saw I didnt have enough rations he said, quietly but firmly of course - "No Whining". It was a long three days ... but I did it.
Watch this video the next time you feel like whining. I've been here moving my house around from room to room as they carpeted thinking it was pretty tough. Then a friend of mine sent me this out of the blue ... or was it. Thanks Greg!

Something to think about when we feel we've got it tough.

We Can't Do Everything but We Can Do Something
An appropriate title today. Check out the video below as to what one group in Dallas is doing for our troops. And this is whether you think we should be fighting or not, it isnt the troops fault, remember Nam please ...
Think about this ... "What we do everyday is what we believe, all the rest is just talk." These folks are doing something.
