permalinkToday in the US House a resolution was passed undercutting our
military's heroic efforts in Iraq. Tomorrow in the Senate the same resolution will be debated, though not by
John McCain.
I was disappointed to see that my Congressman, Republican Phil English(PA-3) , voted for this resolution. (More on my thoughts on him
here)
I find it sad that English and the other supporters of this awful resolution, including 16 additional Republicans and all but 2 Democrats, failed to see the historical significance of their votes today.
Chief Deputy Whip Rep.
Eric Cantor(R-VA) posted a video detailing this historical debate and its place in history.
In case it goes off his website you can see it here on
RedstateThe lessons of History must not be forgotten!
-Eric Cantor on the Floor of the House
Observe the Lessons of History:
- "The Summer Soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country..."
~Thomas Paine - Remember that in these grave days in the affairs of the world we need internal unity, national unity, for the sake of the nation. That is good advice and it never grows old. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
- Alexander Hamilton said that A nation that prefers disgrace to danger is prepared for a master and deserves one. Now let's set the record straight: there's no argument over the choice between war and peace but there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace and you can have it this second: surrender.
~Ronald Reagan
Let's hope the Senate realizes this tomorrow.
