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.

THIS IS AN APOLOGY TO THE IRREDEEMABLE, NON-AMERICAN “BASKET OF DEPLORABLES” ???

by Gerri Gibney on 09/10/16

Here are direct quotes from Hillary Clinton as she tried to wiggle out of her remarks about the “Basket of Deplorables:”

 

“Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea.  I regret saying ‘half – that was wrong.”

 

“I also meant what I said last night about empathy, and the very real challenges we face as a country where so many people have been left out and left behind. As I said, many of Trump’s supporters are hard-working Americans who just don’t feel like the economy or our political system are working for them.”

 

Again, this is an apology???

 

What does “grossly generalistic” mean anyway?  She keeps using it, but it is not in the dictionary.  Maybe we should submit it to Webster’s as a new word which means:  “How to lose an election.” 

 

And, when you read her original remarks, she never said anything about  “… many of Trump’s supporters are hard-working Americans…”

 

If she had said that would it make any difference?  Don’t think so.

 

Hillary you’ve shown everyone in America who you really are; an elite, brash snob, who thinks she can do anything she wants without fear of the law or justice.  You lie, cheat, are unethical, and most of all have no empathy or understanding of the American people, or why America is great, and why Mr. Trump will make it great, again.

 

Think about it, all of Hillary’s speeches are carefully crafted.  Why would she and her staff put such outrageous thoughts into a speech?  Because she did not think the American people would possibly react to her using the phrase “Basket of Deplorables.”  And, that the American people would not realize that she and Obama have had eight years to enact his hope and change, and instead are a disaster.  She also thought “what does it matter…” when she insults and is contemptuous of more than half the population.

 

This is your Waterloo, Hillary.  Own it!
