The movie Braveheart stands as one of the classics of all time. In honor of those like Representative Tom Graves (R-Ga.), and Senators Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), who are battling both their own leaders (the Scottish noblemen) who fear for their position, as well as Obama and Harry Reid (the English), a few of the key lines from brilliantly written Braveheart are published here.

What happened to the America we all once knew and loved? The land of - baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. The land of the free and the home of the brave. It seems like those noble ideals which made our country strong and great are rapidly slipping away and being replaced by the strange and bizarre.

As it stands today, our governing elites can barely mask their disdain for anything resembling traditional morality and are showing themselves increasingly hostile to religious values. They are bound and determined to advance their ideological vision at all costs. In response, it’s up to the “silent majority” to make their wishes known at the ballot box. The only alternative is to do nothing and play the victim as the forces of “progress” systematically dismantle our Constitution and undermine our rights.

“I want to be absolutely crystal clear — any bill that defunds Obamacare is dead. Dead.” That was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) telling reporters last week that there would not be the votes to pass a House Republican plan to defund the health care law via the continuing resolution. Something he and his colleagues might consider, however, is that that really cuts both ways.Republicans have 46 members in the U.S. Senate, more than enough to defeat cloture on any continuing resolution that will ultimately result in Obamacare being funded.

The answer is simple. The establishment controls the apparatus of the Republican Party, but they don’t control those who fight for the limited government principles who do the work on the ground outside of D.C. They cannot control these crazy single issue voters who simply don’t understand the need to compromise.
