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.

We Are So Enlightened… Why Would Those Bad Russians Do Such a Thing?

by Gerri Gibney on 03/02/14

We Are So Enlightened…  Why Would Those

Bad Russians Do Such a Thing?

 

Secretary of State John Kerry was on one of the Sunday morning talk shows speaking about those terrible Russians daring to send armed troops into Ukraine.  He explained, “They are so out of step with the 21st century.”  Can you imagine, someone thumbing their nose at the law?  Actually trampling the sovereignty of a nation?  Why it’s positively outrageous!  He further went on to say there was any number of ways that this situation could have been resolved; the Russians could have gone to the United Nations. 

 

President Obama in a 90 minute telephone call with Putin offered to support sending international monitors to make sure ethnic Russians were not harmed.  This is, of course, after Obama had said there would be “consequences” the day before this phone call.  Maybe it’s time for another red line, or perhaps he’s gotten ahead of himself, and should be further back in the line (by his own reckoning, he wants to “lead from behind”) calling for Putin to stop and desist.  But no matter, Putin doesn’t care about Obama or anything his administration says.  This is the president who decided to pull back anti-missile defense capabilities which had been promised to Poland and the Czech Republic.  Obama expects to be taken seriously; after all, Obama has already said he might not attend the G8 summit planned by Putin.  That will show him! 

 

All this stamping of feet, and bravado on Obama’s part is a comic story, no a comic tragedy.  To think that these fools in the White House and the biggest fool of all, Obama, would think that by their sheer force of will and their words that all evil, or evil as they see it, would be wiped out.  Men don’t fight battles anymore, they don’t covet any more, they don’t break the rules any more.  No, we are all way too enlightened, at least by the light and standards they use.  (You know the ones I mean, those curly, energy-saving ones we will all have to use soon.)  Remember, we are going to diminish our military force to levels we had before WW II.  Nope, men don’t fight like that anymore, we just send drones.  Who would ever think of, even dream of using nuclear weapons, we are way too enlightened to even think this, nevertheless to use them!  Obama has promised to reduce our stockpiles of nuclear weapons to the size of Red China’s.  Will our future generations feel as secure growing up as we did?  No one played with the United States of America before he came on the scene.

 

And, again remember, Obama promised to lower the seas.  I quote here from his 2008 nomination acceptance speech;

 

“The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.

 

Can we really expect anything less from this man Obama, when he stomps his feet, and says you will listen to me!  And, again, remember the remark about the pen and his phone.  We all know the answer to that question, OBAMA ROUTINELY BREAKS THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.  He’s like an out of control kid – he gets away with this behavior in America, why shouldn’t he get away with it on the national stage.  In his own words; “That’s the good thing as a president, I can do whatever I want.” 

 

Obama is just like any other Communist; do as I say, not as I do.  He is an inept, know nothing, Communist ideologue.  He has no concept of foreign policy and America’s role in it.  He does not know and understand the great Republic of the United States and the American people.  He’s met his match in Putin.  President George Bush had respect from the former KGB Putin, and a man-to-man understanding with this Communist.

 

What’s this guy got?  I’ll tell you, a totally misguided understanding of the Judeo-Christian ethic and the fierceness of the liberty loving people of America.
