Happy Guadalupe Hidalgo Day!

Feb 2nd is the anniversary of one of the greatest victories in our history -- the American victory in the Mexican War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. It was this victory that gave us the American Southwest and let us say that our country stretches from "sea to shining sea."

Of course, politicians today -- both Republican and Democrat -- are doing their best to give away what Americans of the past purchased with their blood. Our borders are utterly undefended. Illegal invaders parade under foreign flags in some of our greatest cities. It's far past time to put an end to this!

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
