Back in 1836, the Alamo fell. For more than 13 days,186 brave and determined patriots withstood Santa Anna's seasoned army of over 4,000 troops. The defenders of that mission fort knew they would never leave those ramparts alive. They had several opportunities to leave and live. Yet, they chose to fight and die.

It is difficult to recall that stouthearted men such as Davy Crockett (a nationally known frontiersman and former Congressman), Will Travis (only 23 years old with a little baby at home), and Jim Bowie (a wealthy landowner with properties on both sides of the Rio Grande), really existed. These were real men with real dreams and real desires. Real blood flowed  through their veins. They loved their families and enjoyed life as much as any of us. There was something different about them, however. They  possessed a commitment to "Liberty" that transcended personal safety and comfort.

"Liberty" is an easy word to say, but it is a hard word to live up to. "Freedom" has little to do with financial gain or personal pleasure. Accompanying "Freedom" is her constant and unattractive companion, "Responsibility." "Patriotism" and "Morality" are their sisters. They are inseparable; destroy one and soon the others will die.

Early in the siege, Travis wrote these words to the people of Texas:
"Fellow Citizens & Compatriots: I am besieged by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. . . . The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise the garrison are to be put to the sword . . . I have answered the demand with a cannon shot & our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. . . . VICTORY OR DEATH!  P.S. The Lord is on our side. . . ."

As you read those words, remember that Travis and the others did not have the A.C.L.U., P.E.T.A., People for the un-American Way, and the National Education Association telling them how intolerant and narrow-minded their notions of honor and patriotism were. A hostile media did not constantly castigate them as a bunch of wild-eyed extremists. As school children, they were not taught that their forefathers were nothing more than racists!

The brave men at the Alamo labored under the belief that America (including Texas), really was "the land of the free and the home of the brave." They believed God was on their side and that the freedom of future generations depended on their courage and resolve. They further believed their posterity would remember their sacrifice as an act of love and devotion. It all looks pale now.

The gallant men of the Alamo appear rather foolish by today's standards. After all, they had no chance of winning--none. However, the call for pragmatism and practicality was never sounded. Instead, they answered with the clarion call, "Victory or death!"

Please try to remember the heroes of the Alamo and all American wars as you watch our gutless political and religious leaders surrender to compromise in the name of political correctness.

Try to recall the time in this country when ordinary men and women acted on the courage of their convictions and were willing to sacrifice their lives for "Freedom"

and "Independence."

One thing is certain: those courageous champions at the Alamo did not die for a political party or for some "lesser of two evils" mantra.

They fought and died for their principles. Those principles were their  "Responsibility" in order to keep "Liberty" and "Freedom," "Patriotism" and "Morality" alive. That is our heritage and common bond.

Today however, our national leaders are in the process of turning America over to the very forces that the Alamo defenders gave their lives resisting! On second thought, do they look foolish, or do we?

President's HOOVER AND EISENHOWER

Back during the Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of all illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work.

 

Again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican nationals!

 

The program was called 'Operation Wetback' so that American WWII and Korean veterans  had a better chance at jobs. It took 2 years, but they deported them!

Now, if they could deport the illegal's back then, they can sure do it today!! 

 

If you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.

 

Reminder. Don't forget to pay your taxes... 20 million illegal aliens are depending on you!

Including

Afghanistan, Libya and all the other places we shouldn't be!
