If it ever comes to the point where Americans deny the fact that they
have enemies both abroad and domestically just to damper the cries
of a few, then they will not be able to deny or damper the cries of
millions as we surrender our liberty and freedom to those who would
overtake us if given the chance.


Be it known that a country with as much freedom and wealth as ours
has been and will always be at war in some sense of the word.  
There will always be that small number of radical extremists and
unpatriotic factions in our homeland who would seek to undermine
what the gallons and gallons of soldiers’ blood that has soaked into
the American psyche has accomplished, and for what their strength
and determination has built so that we may be free people.


Stand together with your fellow Americans, stand up for what is right
for our country, [including the second amendment] and never be
ashamed to proclaim you are an American.
