In The Matter of Being Indian

The Cherokee Nation is intuitively understood by the White Southerner.   To be sure, he is also understood by the Black Southerner.   The Cherokee is very much part of what being a local control, family type person is.   He is an adaptor, an acceptor, a businessman and trader, and a generous host.   Much of what is known and understood about the Confederate Cause is wrong and/or misunderstood by people who have gone to school too long and learnt less and less while at it.  

A group of Old Confederate Cherokee Indian Veterans

          The first point we must cover is that most white Southerners who can trace their ancestry into the colonial period of what is now the United States of America has some or a lot of Indian ancestry,    You all have had introduction to and knowledge of El Zorro, for instance, who is, at a minimum,  3/16th Cherokee.    El Gringo Viejo is 1/32nd by his father's side (Mohegan), and 1/16th by his maternal side.

            When we say, "most Southerners" of the type described, we are talking about 90% of all such White Southerners.    Blacks also have substantial Cherokee as well as Seminole ancestry mixed into swirl of chromosomes.    The Whites were more apt to be drawn from the Cherokee, Cree(k), and Choctaw Nations and groupings, but those nations also had been substantially ethnically "compromised" because they had intermarried among themselves.   The broad Cherokee grouping is the Southern extension of the Iroquois Nation and the language, appearance, and cultural practises were similar.    The Iroquois and the Cherokee were at once combative and collaborative with the white man.    By the time one hundred years had passed each side knew who the "good Indians and bad Indians'' and the "good White men and bad White men" were and who could be dealt with in any honourable and/or effective way.    Formal intermarriage was in no wise rare between the two groups.

     Almost all Indians who fought or served in any way during the War Between the States sided with the Confederacy.   There were four Indians who held the rank of general during the War, all were Confederates.

     As for their treatment, it was good and bad.   People like Sam Houston and David Crockett broke with their own government and nation over the treatment rendered the Cherokee who were removed from the gold bearing lands in North Carolina and Georgia.   By any standard it was a crime and Andrew Jackson should have been taken out and shot for his betrayal of the Cherokee and for his selling out of the principles established in the treaties with the Cherokee.    Houston was a fully adopted son of his neighbouring Cherokee tribal chief and  named "Raven" by his adoptive people.   Crockett is thought to have had early Iroquois and Cherokee that mixed with his French and English ancestry.

   

     Elizabeth Warren, Democrat candidate for the office of United States Senator from Massachusetts, is a poser and a fraudulent person.   First of all, she is such because she is a socialist, and from that one defect spring all others.   Since she is a socialist-marxist, she obeys no universal rules and accepts no truth, save for the truth of the necessity to destroy private initiatives, self-reliance, and private property.   To a marxist, of course, a lie is the truth if it forwards the aims of socialist victory over the fascists and monarchists.

     She is a mean, vicious, hateful, and narcissistic person, who knows....not feels....but knows that the "rules" do not apply to her.   One thing she forgot on the way to her lie is that having some or considerable Cherokee does not make a person stand out in the South.  We do not wake up in the morning and run to the saloon and beat on the doors at 09:00 o'clock so that we can run in and tell everyone, "I' m one of them there Indian-type people, you all!"

     However, many, many, many saloon sessions have been spent in the South as the guys recount the bends and branches of the genealogical tree that lead to the speaker's Indian background.    Each is interested in the others and it is known to be a requirement, almost, to be a "Real Southerner".

      None or almost none of us would ever answer "yes" on the form which asks,  "Are you a member of a recognised Native American tribe, nation, or other Indian grouping?"    We might understand the Indian, be proud in our Continental Aboriginal connection, have ancestors who fought and defended the Southern Indian Nations, but  it really does not make us "Real Live Indians".    It is just that simple.   The Cherokee cause and position is closer to El Gringo Viejo than his living brother, but that does not make either El Gringo Viejo or his brother, an Indian.   As far as El Zorro is concerned, we do not propose to speak for him.  We have gone over the issue many times, however, and it is this writer's notion that El Zorro's opinions and attitudes help shape El Gringo's attitudes, if anything.   My grandparents were very matter of fact about their Indian background, but they considered themselves to be just plain-old, Anglo Saxon, Upland South people from Eastern Tennessee.

So that OROGs will know, the final analysis
 of last night's debate in MexicoCity shows
 that it  was our girl Josefina, the
 Conservative who won!

 "The Chief"

This was her facebook posting.  Below the OROG will find the El Gringo Viejo's translation and notes.

Estimados Amigos:

       El día de ayer, los cuatro candidatos a la Presidencia de la República pudimos contrastar nuestras ideas debatiendo frente a los mexicanos. 

       Todos los sondeos que se han realizado nos dan la victoria. Por ejemplo, el sondeo realizado por el Periódico Reforma los ciudadanos nos otorgan la máxima calificación entre los candidatos. En el sondeo realizado por Contenido también la mayoría (36%) considera que ganamos el debate, y en la encuesta de Televisa el 44%, nos da la ventaja. Clic en la siguiente liga:

                                  http://www.josefina.mx/debate/

       Se ha abierto una gran oportunidad para nuestra campaña. Los mexicanos están percatándose que tenemos la mejor propuesta, y que tengo una trayectoria pública de la cual me siento orgullosa. Te puedo mirar a los ojos y hablarte de frente.   Te comparto este video que resume lo que fue el debate de ayer. Por favor reenvíalo a tus amigos y familiares. Ayúdame a que todo el mundo se entere de lo que sucedió el día de ayer.

       

¡Vamos juntos hasta la victoria!
 Josefina Vázquez Mota

Dear Friends:

     The day of yesterday, the four candidates for the Presidency of the Republic could contrast our ideas debating in front of the Mexicans.

       All of the soundings that have been realised, give us the victory.   For example, the  sounding realised by the Periodico Reforma (centre left newspaper) showed that the citizenry gave us the maximum (highest) score among the candidates.   The survey done by the magazine Contenido also the majority (sic- plurality) (36%) considered that we had won, and in the survey by Televisa, 44% gave us the advantage (truly astounding...especially that they admitted it).  Please clic onto the following linkage:  (see above linkage....it's worth the effort)

     There has been an openning to a great opportunity for our campaign.   The Mexican people are perceiving that we have the best proposals (platform), and that I have a public trajectory of which I feel proud.  I can look you in the eye, and I can speak to you face to face.  This video which I share gives a resume' of that which was the debate of yesterday.   Please! Resend it to your friends and family members.   Help me make sure that the whole world knows what happened the day of yesterday.

TOGETHER WE GO UNTIL THE VICTORY!!

El Gringo Viejo adds these observations, after digging around for coverage of the polls.   Josefina's tallies are correct, and later data suggests that she scored very well against both of the other candidates with any chance of figuring in the outcome.   Some polls showed her picking up in the mid-50's among working class women, a disaster for the PRI and PRD.   The Green Party will not cross over the 2% level, in all probability.

    The debate last night was badly arranged and had all of the clunky, heavy-handed intervention of television network owners and executives who wanted to control things and make the candidates in opposition to the PRI's Pen~a Nieto look like dumboes.   They even paraded out a slutty, nearly un-clad, public woman to pass out material to the candidates, thereby trying to make a mockery of the proceedings.    When it became apparent that people were actually tuning in, two of the networks began to experience technical problems, some say that they were advising their downstream stations to cut out and go to " the soccer game".  Much of the country wound of listening to the debate on the radio, for lack of television coverage.    It was later determined that the Networks people on the scene saw that Josefina had her "game face" on and that Ernesto Pen~a Nieto seemed to be disoriented and confused, making silly jokes and giggling a lot.   The pro-communist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) pretty much spent his night declaring that he is not Fidel, and that he learned his lesson from his last campaign's over-exuberant excesses.  Biggest winner?  Josefina.   Biggest losers,  TV-AZTECA and TeleVisa Networks.   Even the dirty old men were offended by the trollip's modified bump and grind appearance, and the bomb-out, once it looked like Pen~a Nieto was going to have one of his "Joe Biden Moment Nights" was a signal reminder that he and Obama were twin straw men.  No teleprompter, no candidate.

Encouraging on the Southern Front.   Let's see how the opinion polls shake out over the next four weeks.   Our girl did well.   It really is astounding that the Televisa poll showed Josefina with 44%.  Televisa is a solidly PRI  (like the American Democrat Party, full of millionaires and billionaires who like crony capitalism) Carlos Slim type operation. 

El Gringo Viejo

Odds and Ends

The following is an assembly of little points and fact that El Gringo Viejo thinks about, and says, "I need to write that down and put it on the blog."   He then pulls into into the parking space, puts on the burglar bar, clicks the zombo-lock button, and forgets what it was that he needed to put on the blog.

(1)    Mexico, Canada, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and Taiwan  have a combined population of about 340,000,000 people. The GNP of the five countries is a combined 12,450,000,000,000 (twelve trillion, four hundred and fifty trillion American dollars).

         We are taught to at best disregard these countries or dispise them by the mainstream press and in the case of Mexico, even FOX News.   Only Red China matters to the New Improved Democratic United States of America.    I mean, man....look at the market potential.    There are 1,300,000,000 people in the population!   And just think, when they execute somebody for being un-re-educable, the family of the condemned person has to pay for the pistol bullet to rid society of such a reprobate.   Now that's my kind of tight fiscal policy!

         The 1,300,000,000 (increasingly male) population produces a GNP of  8,000,000,000,000 (eight trillion American dollars).

      The per capita "punch" of the smaller group is 38,000/person .   The per capita "punch" of the Great Red Dragon is about 6,000/person.

(2)    Mexico has suffered over 50,000 people killed during 5.5 years of warfare between drug trafficking cartels, related gang turf fights, and direct confrontation between the military and police, against the forces of disorder.

        During that same time, in the United States 150,000 have been killed in warfare between drug and human trafficking gangs, related gang turf fights, and interaction against police agencies by such groups.   The number of 150,000 does not include the "regular" non-drug traffic/use murders.   "Stop snoring!" "No!" Bang  Bang!

       Greta says it is safe in the United States but dangerous in Mexico.  Jim Cramer vacations at his home in Mexico and comes back to anchor his programs on CNBC.   Allison Camerotta vacations in Mexico, resting up from her ardour as anchorette on Fox and Friends Weekend and other stints on the network.

       The per capita kill-rate in the United States is greater than in Mexico.   The press...even FOX...is still mired in issues like Hispanic, or white Hispanic, or "the Hispanic Vote'', or Illegals or Immigration Issues, playing neatly into the marxist inspired tactic of clouding an issue with undefinable terms and assuming that there is a problem that can only be solved with money and by the government.

Aldous Huxley would be proud

(3)    Anyone who says, "We need to make O'bamaham understand that....."  should be taken to the nearest facility for the mentally retarded.   Father O'bamaham has done everything that his past, present, and promises for the future have laid out plainly.   His objective is to break the economic back of the United States of America.   His methods include the stratification of groups of importance and groups of no importance.   The productive are of no importance, because they cause a nation to prosper and advance.   In order to destroy the nation the productive must be harrassed, threatened, taxed, and if necessary bullied and killed.

   In order to destroy the nation, the consumers must be fed, housed, medically attended and generally totally supported by the productive.   The non-productive consumers are very important because they are the tools and the cannon fodder for the final pustch.   Obama definitely knows what he is doing.

Thank you all, as usual, for your time and attention

Saint HRH Sir Edmund Hillary Rodham, added to Mr. Rushmore

SAINT HRH SIR EDMUND HILLARY RODHAM

First Photo-portrait for the preliminary design
 work on the addition to Mount Rushmore

      This will be the only personage to have a marble plaque, 500 yards by 500 yards square, placed in front of the monument at Mount Rushmore, that is electronically adapted to show repeated episodes of those moments when Saint HRH Sir Edmund Hillary Rodham was carried into the Cosmos via the Whirlwind Angel Soyuz.    It will depict those heroic moments such as when HRH Sir Edmund Hillary Rodham found 1000 American dollars in a wine jar, and at her mother's request turned the 1000 American dollars into 100,000 American dollars.

      See how, later in life, she walked over a river of White Water without ever getting her feet wet, while scores of others were murdered and/or thrown into prisons operated by the fascist counter-revolutionaries.    Watch in amazement as she awakens, as did her relative Snow White, from a long slumber, remembering nothing of her past travails as she walked over that dangerous water.

      See how she strove to give all Americans free socialized medicine, but like her relative Jean d'Arc, she was thwarted by fascist counter-revolutionaries who only wanted people to die.  Unlike Jean, HRH Sir Edmund Hillary survived being burned at the stake and ascended into Heaven to return later.

     Watch in amazement as she managed to raise money from a Jewish group for her campaigns of liberation of those oppressed by fascist revolutionaries.   ThoseJewish groups  had previously only given money to fascist counter-revolutionaries before, so as a small reward she obtained a Presidential Pardon for one of their members.

     See those wondrous moments when she ordered and received over 1,300 confidential, raw-data personnel files about private persons from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and ransacked them, looking for information that might protect the poor from repression by the fascist counter-revolutionaries.  Unlike Charles Colson who did 3 years of hard prison time for having one, unopenned  such FBI file in his desk in the Nixon White House, Sir Edmund Hillary Rodham escaped any abuse by the forces of the fascist counter-revolutionaries they had replaced.

      Other miracles will be shown on the 500 X 500 square yard obelisk which will be visible for over 200,000 square miles on Earth, as well as broadcast to the Universe via the SETI space penetration radio wave project.   Miracles such as witnessing HRH St. Sir Edmund Hillary's "good friend", Vince Foster putting a gun in his mouth and blowing his brains out, then taking a shower, putting on a nice fresh white shirt, and fresh suit, and apparently walking to Fort Marcy Park and lying down with his back on a tree trunk, with his hands crossed over his chest, still holding a pistol that was not his.

      This miracle has an assistant miracle which shows Maggie and Bernie ransacking Vince Foster's White House office...a few doors down from Billy Jeff Blythe's oval office of other famous miracles....taking out every trace of paper or file, box load by box load, that could remotely divulge exactly how various and sundry of The Many Miracles had been performed over the years.   Oddly, the only thing really left behind was a brief-case with a suicide note Vince Foster had written in the printed hand of another person  (another of the wondrous miracles) and torn into over a score of roughly square pieces.    The briefcase had apparently been overlooked several times during repeated passes by police authority, although it been right there, miraculously, on Vince Foster's desk, in plain view, for four or five days, hiding in plain sight.

      Pope Nancy Pelosi, leader of the Real Live Meaningful Roman Catholic Church and Abortatoreum Service, LLC  ruled that the only explanation of the following observations that were entered into the Congressional Record and sworn as evidence by forensic investigators in various forums, official as well as informal, WAS DIVINE INTERVENTION!!  Can we even imagine how fortunate we are to have been graced by this woman.   Read these comforting words, derived from the Congressional Record, so as to further your peace and contemplations:

         "Anyhow, they said that the fingerprints on the telephone records can remain intact on paper and other materials for years, so her fingerprints on the billing records do not necessarily mean that she saw the records recently. Now, this is very interesting, Mr. Speaker, because when Vincent Foster died, you remember Vincent Foster , the assistant counsel to the President at the White House, when Vincent Foster died, a suicide note was found in his briefcase. At least that is what they called it. Despite the fact that it had been torn into 28 pieces, you have to tear it to get 28 pieces 14 of 15 times, there was not one single fingerprint on any one of those pieces.
        "Investigators and various Clinton administration officials said at the time that it was not unusual, because fingerprints do not attach themselves easily to paper. Now, here we have the President's wife, the First Lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton, her fingerprints are all over these telephone records that nobody could find for 2 years and were found in their residence, while they were under subpoena, incidentally, and they are saying that it is not unusual for the fingerprints to be attached to paper, and that she probably attached them to those documents in 1992 during the Presidential campaign. Now, you cannot have it both ways. Either it can be attached to paper, you can get fingerprints on paper, or you cannot. Her fingerprints were on the documents, but the fingerprints were not on Vince Foster 's alleged suicide note.
        "Adding to the mystery, the first two times that the White House counsel at the time, Bernie Nussbaum, search Vincent Foster 's briefcase, he did not find any torn up note. The note was found 6 days later when another White House aide searched the briefcase for a third time. Now, Mr. Speaker, it has to be one way or the other. If fingerprints attach themselves easily to paper and stay there for years, there is no explanation for why Vincent Foster 's note had no fingerprints on them, especially since it had been torn into 28 pieces. And if fingerprints do not attach themselves easily to paper and if they wear off quickly, then Mrs. Clinton must have handled the billing records more recently than her aides are saying, which was 4 years ago, in 1992"

      There is barely space enough to name, much less describe the wondrous wonders of this wonderful woman.    The use of the FBI to frame and then fire the permanent, non-partisan White House travel office workers so as to hire her own cousins and cronies was certainly an act of self-sacrificing charity.    Reactionary forces managed to have the scoundrels vindicated, in a process that caused a lot of other people to have to resign in disgrace.   Good ole' Craig Livingstone, the Chief of Security for the White House, had trained briefly as a saloon bouncer and was determined to be competent, therefore, to protect the Holy Innocents inside the White House in those days.   He was one of the casualties of the Reactionary scoundrels.     

     Her collaboration in the assault upon a compound of religious kooks in Mount Carmel, McClennan County, Texas that left almost 80 men, women, and children dead and immolated....all in the justifiable effort to disarm the American civilian population...was truly a moment of high self-sacrifice.   She and her soul mate, Janet (affectionately known as Miss Sasquatch) Reno collaborated on that one, and Billy Jeff refused any responsibility.
     Also commemorated on the Great Marble Tablet:   The Miracle of the Immaculate Corkscrewing into Sarajevo or Kosovo (or one of those funny little places with funny names), and The Miracle of the Holy Camel Ride of the Severe Backache suffered One Week Before the Trip After Billy Jeff Blythe Had Confessed That He Really Did Do Something With a Chubby Jewess After All.
     And of course the Miracle of the Manhattan hunt for her daughter Chelsea, on the morning of the assault on the twin towers.   This is the Chelsea, Executive Worker of the Hedge Funds and tobacco smoker....(gasp).   Her Highness did all this, in spite of the fact that her daughter said that it was impossible because she was "spending time" overnight at her boyfriend's apartment and was nowhere near the Twin Towers.   Now, that's what everyone must admit is a real miracle. 
     It is amazing, truly, how much will have to be put on so little space....500 X  500  square yards of marble....Thank the Good Lord that this is a shovel-ready project!   How could America have been so fortunate as to have had a woman such as this who was willing to control absolutely every aspect of our miserable, stupid, insignifant little lives....with our petty little cookie baking and crummy little under-financed unimportant little businesses?   We have all been  truly blessed by this woman's care and protection.

     Partisans of Prophet of Perpetual Demagoguery were disappointed, certainly, to learn that the 34,ooo expected lobotomised zombies turned out to be 14,000 dull union thugs and self-entitled recipients.    There is a certain sad echo in Great Halls of the People when the room is less than half-full.   But it could have been worse.

       Before the event even began, pro-marxist redistributionists were blogging that FOX nuts were sending out pictures of the event that suggested that attendance was....sparse.   The dastardly rightwingers accomplished this by taking pictures two hours before the event began, so as to "give the impression" that no one came.

      Good thinking.   Tell another lie to cover the first.   Then another, then another, and  pretty soon a person has 17,000,000,000,000 in debt piled up and a whole, heapin' lot of Hope and Change to explain.    When Romney pulled off this boner, of course, it was front page news.   With the Divine Ruler, however, the occurrence was not noted save for among us rightwing crazies.



Bulletin:
(sent into the Voice From the Sierra Madre Oriental by EL ZORRO)

    El Zorro, the secret operative who is generally found in the yonder parts of Texas sent us this profound and most reasonable observation:

El Zorro and El Gringo Viejo know that the boys who did the deed concerning the matter in Abbotabad, Pakistan are not  "Soldiers", but rather "Sailors".    We do  both take this time to salute them and specifically them and those involved in their close combat support,  for the sucess of their fire-for-effect accomplishments.   All who served and who are serving honourably in the United States Army, the United States Air Force, the United States Navy and Marines, and the United States Coast Guard receive now, and daily this salute from El Zorro, El Gringo Viejo,  and all OROGs.

More Later.

Of RINOs and other worthwhile things....

PUFF, THE MAGIC DRAGON:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wik2uc69WbU

     A million years ago, in a different Universe, when up was up, and down was down, the popular culture tolerated things like PUFF.   Little did it matter that we knew that the blond
Amazon girl and the bald guy beside her were communists like Pete Seeger and Woodie Guthrie.  We knew.   There was a thing called the John Birch Society that wildly branded all kinds of people as communists back then, and two of the three in the PP and M trio were so scarred.    Other poor innocents like Alger Hiss, Fidel Castro, Ho Chi Minh, and the like suffered having the Red Letter "C" carved into their foreheads.    It was all a bloody mess.

      At least the third member of the PP and M trio was just a "democratic socialist", so we felt no real guilt about enjoying their profound talents.   While some still smirk about how the song was really about marihuana..."Puff!  The magic drag on a roach, dude...get it?  Huh? Do you get it, dude?   Cool groove, man!".....Charlie Gook saw it a bit differently when another PUFF the Magic Dragon, a C-47 outfitted with three rapid-fire Gatling guns on the port side would lumber around in circles, putting down a "cone of fire" into Charlie's camps, usually at night.   The controlability of the C-47 with its slow speeds made it a marvel of accuracy.    Almost everyone on this blog knows that a C-47 is the military version of the DC-3, perhaps the most serviceable aeroplane ever built, but some people who read this were not born a million years ago.

      All of this relates, somehow, to the the title of this post.   Allow El Gringo Viejo to try to stretch the point.   RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) are people who say they believe as Republicans, but who will frequently "reach out" and "be reasonable" when dealing with people like Bill and Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Jesse Jackson.   They have their poll-tax receipts stamped "voted Republican Primary", but they get to go to the fancy saloons and the cocktail parties in Chappaqua and Aspen.

     They really don't like their saloons to have "those" and "them" around, so they read the society pages of the Los Angeles Times and  the New York Times and decide it's better to be accepted by people who serve 112 year old brandy and scotch than to hob-knob with Joe the Plumber who is ....you know... "one of 'them'" and, at best, drinks Mexican beer.   So much cleaner, you know.   And where does all that sawdust on the floor come from in those places?

ROGER MILLER tells it best   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsNWlM3fWmI

     Our problem is that the Poofy, Pinky-pants, Country Club Republicans who are "reasonable" and who "know how to get things done" and who can "reach across the aisle" cannot win an election without the Rightwing Crazy Republicans.   And the Rightwing Crazy Republicans cannot win an election without the Poofy, Pinky-pants Country Club Republicans.  And of course, the Rightwing Crazy Republicans are dangerous because they will go up and upset the apple-cart in Washington and HEB Grocery Stores will go out of business overnight because there will be no one to feed the 666 spawn of the AFDC Monsters.

      So, we are locked in an embrace of Death. And the Spawn of Satan continues to breed, and the American people continue to accustom themselves to the very largess that will finally destroy them.

     But what do we do?    We have seen the advertisement placed by "friends of Dewhurst" or whatever, on our sites and frequently visited pages.  They are the good people.   They are the ones who like 112 year old scotch and brandy.   They do not like nobodies who are not under absolute control by the Absolute Control Committee that is housed in the Republican National Committee's in Das  Untergruntblunderbunker.    They decide who is a witch, who is a Beverly Hillbilly who hunts, kills, and strips mooses, and who can or cannot call a communist a "likable fellow".

      They are the ones who are really against discretionary abortions unless it really, really important that we take that snow-skiing trip to Aspen next month....they have those really nice trail rides and sing-alongs....so pretty when they do them as dusk and the moon comes up over the glinting snow.  Goodness...and Irish coffee when its mixed with 112 year old brandy.   There really is a god....you know.... a presiding force type god....of some sort....you know what I mean. 

Ted Cruz, Candidate for the Republican
nomination for United States Senator
from Texas

     In any regard, El Gringo Viejo will be voting for Ted Cruz.   It is verily hoped that he can refrain from responding in-kind to the Dewhurt Zombies, who obviously either trained or worked with the Friends of Romney superpac people.   There is no need to respond.   The Texas Republican Primary voter is not stupid.   We know that Dewhurst is a RINO.   We know that Cruz can win the General Election.   We know the Country Club Republicans will work against him just like the do against all moose hunters and witches and nobodies.   After all, they want "reasonable" candidates who know how to "reach across the aisle".    But the time is now.   We must stop the crony capitalism.   We must stop paying to feed other peoples' children, housing them, clothing them, providing "free medical" and other such benefits that only provoke the production of more dependency, feelings of entitlement, and decay.   And we must do it now, or we shall certainly lose the Republic.

Thanks for your kind attention!
