Poem written by Col. William Bauer, USMC....

The Battling Bastards of Benghazi...

We're the Battling Bastards of Benghazi,
no fame, no glory, no paparazzi.

Just a fiery death in a blazing hell,
defending the country we loved so well.

It wasn't our job, but we answered the call,
fought to the consulate, 'n scaled the wall.

We pulled twenty countrymen from the jaws of fate,
led them to safety, 'n stood at the gate.

Just the two of us, 'n foe by the score,
but we stood fast to bar that door.

We called for reinforcement, but it was denied,
so we fought, 'n we fought, 'n we fought,
'n we died.

We gave our all for our Uncle Sam,
'n Obama didn't give a damn,

just two dead SEALS, who carried the load,
no thanks to us, we were bumps in the road.

"What difference does it make now?", stolen from a secretary of state.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
