Things Chuck Norris Actually Says

He's been hit in the head a lot.

"We all must fight (once and for all and across the board) to elect fiscally prudent politicians like our Founders, those like Thomas Jefferson, who brought down the national deficit though making the Louisiana Purchase and engaging the U.S. in a war with Tripoli."

Yes, if only we had a far-flung foreign war to fight and a pressing need to spend money in Louisiana, we'd be kickboxing the living daylights out of that pesky deficit.

3. The Louisiana Purchase canceled FRENCH debt to the U.S. and then some.
For a total of 15 million U.S. dollars cost to the U.S. Treasury. Yes it was a great deal but it is fuzzy math to say it brought down the national deficit. Eventually it paid off of course but there was plenty of opposition at the time about the cost. And the war with Tripoli of course cost money to outfit and man the fleet sent there as well as pay a disgraceful ransom to free captured U.S. sailors (though not Jefferson's fault - more the fault of the commander of the rescue fleet) - the mistake of paying a ransom meant a second "war" was necessary in 1815 to finally put the Barbary pirates in their place and keep them there.

Chuckie should refrain from commenting on things when he is clueless. Of course that means he probably would not comment on anything at all which would be fine with me.

20. But we all reduce our debt when we make a major purchase.
LOL! I am going to buy a new house to eliminate my credit card debt.




You don't even need history to refute him.

It's illogical and wrong on the face of it.

7. Chuck Norris no longer believes in the flag, advocates defacing "Old Glory".
Just make those founders proud when you fly the flag.

I quote:

Link: http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/09/chuck-norris-stop-using-the-modern-american-flag----or-use-tea-stained-ones.php

As 9/12 concluded, we all heard many ways to keep this revolutionary movement going. But I was sitting back thinking there's one way we can take a daily stand and declare that as for me and my house, we will serve God and the republic as the Founders did.

If that describes you, then I suggest you fly some revolutionary flag in lieu of your 50-star flag over the next year. Post the 13-star Betsy Ross flag, Navy Jack or Gadsden flag ("Don't Tread on Me") or any representation that tells the story of Old Glory and makes a stand for our Founders' vision of America.

Of course, patriots know that the 50-star flag truly represents one nation under God and our Founders' republic, but modernists simply don't get it. So what do you say we make a statement by flying a different flag and educate our neighbors when they ask us, "Why are you flying that flag instead of the contemporary Stars and Stripes?" (If you insist on posting a modern USA flag, too, then get one that is tea-stained to show your solidarity with our Founders.)

Know a few other patriots? Then please pass along this vintage-flag-posting encouragement to them, as well, and make our Founders proud. And let's remind the U.S. government, "Don't tread on me!"
