Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
December 7, 1941: Our September 11th
On December 7, 1941 the United States of America was attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. Pearl Harbor, Hawaii counted 2,390 Americans dead and 1,282 wounded. Eight battleships, three destroyers, three cruisers and one minelayer were destroyed along with 188 aircraft.
Most of us were not alive then yet we can understand how they felt. We experienced something similar on September 11, 2001.
Our job is to remember and never forget that evil men hate the goodness of America. They always have and they always will.
A smart leader knows to keep his friends close and his enemies closer. Our President wants to do the opposite and if he is successful, we will find ourselves open for more attacks, more deaths and more wounded American civilians and servicemen and women.
The START Treaty is under review by the Senate and could possibly be voted on in this Lame Duck Congress. The danger here is the overreaching Executive Branch led by President Obama has not divulged the START Treaty negotiation records to the Senate. The President should never have this much control over our national security. The START Treaty will severely limit our missile defense and will weaken America possibly putting us in harm’s way. If the President wants to be personally responsible for the deaths of thousands or even millions of people, he should continue down the path of working outside the constraints of his office. Or he could show the American people he is truly concerned for their safety and well-being and work within the structure as set by our founding fathers. For more about this go to: Heritage.com at http://blog.heritage.org/?p=47650.
You can also watch a presentation by Heritage on this very subject this coming Thursday, December 9 at 10:00 a.m. Go to http://www.heritage.org/Events/2010/12/New-START-Good-Time to watch the presentation online.
Albert Einstein once said “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”
We want and expect our leaders to “do something about it” and protect us from those who are evil. If they do not protect us – they should not lead us. Period.
Let us never forget the innocent blood shed by wonderful American citizens on Dec. 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001.
May God have mercy on us and protect us against our enemies and our weak leaders.

My father in law, CAPT Walt Stencil, USN was officer of the deck on the USS Tennessee when the Japs attacked. He immediately ordered General Quarters and manned a .50 machine gun. She was scuttled, but later restored and Walt participated in the battle of Leyte Gulf on the Tennessee. There they revenged Pearl Harbor, and sank the Japanese battle fleet.
God Bless the Navy and Perdition to her enemies!

I was a little girl, but I remember World War Two, especially Pearl Harbor! Now I also remember September 11th!! We truly need some leadership in Washington with some "common sense", as well diplomacy with our friends. Forget trying to be "politically correct" with everyone, just have backbone and do the right thing to protect America. It's sad to see how "wimpy" our leaders in this country have become. Please God, give us some strong, moral leadership, men and women who belive in YOU! God bless America!!!

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
