Courage Is Being Scared To Death But...

Common Sense Commentary:"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."--- John Wayne

Yes, I know .... John Wayne was just an actor but knowing some things about him I won't share, he was not a counterfeit man.  He had "True Grit" and was a real man not an imitation. He lived up to his definition of courage.... He just kept on saddling up to the end and, like Charlton Heston, was a Conservative in a sea of Hollywood Liberals.

I use the above quote from John Wayne to challenge you and myself to saddle up this wild, mean bronc we face in today's world and especially in our own country.  Things are happening in America that are truly endangering the very existence of our country. The remedy is a lot like the importance of voting.  Some say one vote doesn't amount to much but I'm asking you, that if one vote didn't win elections, exactly what does? If everyone felt that way, nobody would vote except the politician's friends, kin and greedy ginks who love his promised free stuff.  That's about what has been happening.
So here come those savages over " The Hill" ... Muslim terrorists, Corrupt Politicians, Wall Street Crooks, Federal Reserve Banksters and Hoards of Giant Fat Rats to devour  the humble, quiet, hard working tax payers and drain their retirement savings with price inflation and money deflation.  So stop holding your temper and your tongue waiting for some miracle to deliver us from the rulers of darkness and the wicked in high places who council you to, "Don't just do something, sit there". NO! Saddle UP!

A German View of Islam

Dr. Emanuel Tanya

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. 'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.

We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectra of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.

Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."--- John Wayne

"Hit the deck, saddle up and move out Marines... we have Gooks on our north, east, south and west. We are surrounded

so they can't get away from us now." Quote Col. Chesty Puller, my Regimental Commander at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in North Korea.  Out numbered ten to one by Chinese Communist Armies ... we fought our way 70 miles to the sea and left nearly 40,000 dead enemy behind us in a three week battle. Rayburn Blair, Marine til I die... Saddle Up!

Pass it on. RB
