Welcome to the Sons of Liberty webpage.  I decided after the debacle of the last general election in 2012 to put up this webpage in order to have a voice.  Like many of you I have felt completely helpless against what unfortunately has happened - the second term election of Barack Hussein Obama, and what I believe to be the consequences of this election

The purpose of this webpage is myriad.  One of the most important reasons is for me to be able to write about what is going on in our country and to speak with likeminded Americans who want to be heard and also to know the comfort that there are people out there who think similar to you.  My first article for this page is "Thoughts on the Presidential Election of 2012."  I wrote this piece in November 2012 right after the election and as you will read, I have serious concerns about our future.  In the comings days, I'll write on political issues as well as morality issues, since they are truly linked.

President George Washingon said in his 1796 Farewell address:  "Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. The mere Politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connexions with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths, which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.It is substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who, that is a sincere friend to it, can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?"

So here, forthwith, is my commentary in the blog to the right.  Let me know what you think.

COUNT ME IN THE “BASKET OF DEPLORABLES!”

by Gerri Gibney on 09/10/16

Hillary’s just created her very own “Carter Malaise” speech.  Carter blamed his own failures and shortcomings on the American people in a speech later to become known as the “Malaise Speech.”  And now, Hillary has slammed and slandered half of the American people because we won’t vote for her!

 

Here are her very own quotes:

 

On Friday Hillary said:  "To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.   Right?  Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it."

 

And, on Thursday she said Trump's supporters were divided into "two big baskets:  what she called "the deplorables," in an interview with Channel 2 News Israel.  "There are what I call the deplorables -- the racists, you know, the haters, and the people who are drawn because they think somehow he's going to restore an America that no longer exists. So just eliminate them from your thinking, because we've always had an annoying prejudicial element within our politics."

 

Hillary then said some of these people were "irredeemable" and "not America.”

 

Sound familiar?  Remember Obama’s “guns and religion” and Romney’s “47% remark.”

 

Here’s more:  "That other basket of people are people who feel that government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures. They are just desperate for change. Doesn't really even matter where it comes from."

 

Hillary continued, "They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead end. Those are people who we have to understand and empathize with as well."

 

Can you imagine?  For the last eight years Obama and Hillary have had the leadership of America in their hands, and they, like Carter, have failed.  And, now she is going to empathize with us and understand us?   Will emphasizing and understanding bring back a job?  Will it bring back a kid lost to heroine?  Will there be light at the end of the tunnel instead of a dead end?

 

How does she answer the people who feel government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about their futures.  Those who are just desperate for change.  What’s her answer?  By calling us “BASKET OF DEPLORABLES.”  That we are “IRREDEEMABLE” and “NOT AMERICA.” 

 

Well, Mrs. Clinton, don’t worry yourself about any of these questions.  Don’t trouble yourself about we the “BASKET OF DEPLORABLES.”

 

You are not going to be president, because you hold the American people in contempt.  The American people, unlike what you believe, are fair, just, and want what is right for all Americans, not just a chosen few.
