CLINT CLIP O' the DAY

STORMBRINGER celebrates the DNC by presenting a Clint Eastwood Film Festival!





"I know what you’re thinking; did Obama waste six trillion or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this government waste I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a free country with the most industrious people in the world who hate liars and con men, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?
Well, do ya, punk?"

ROCKET MAN

Flags at half-mast across the nation for Neil Armstrong,
August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012

The man was a bonafide hero. He and his crew risked their lives to do something utterly selfless - journey to the Moon and return. There was no guarantee they'd make it back, either; in fact, they didn't expect to make it back. The sequence of hundreds of events that had to occur to get them off that planetoid were a one-shot deal. Any single item on a lengthy checklist go wrong and they'd still be up there today.

They did it anyway, and when they returned they were rightfully lauded as heroes. They toured the world in President Nixon's plane - dubbed 'Air Force 2' as the President was not on board.

As a kid, I watched the moon landing on TV - a grainy image on a 13" black and white screen I could barely make out. I was there at Dacca International Airport in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) to see the Apollo 11 astronauts get off the plane and wave to us. Our hearts were bursting with pride, and I wasn't even an American, wouldn't be for another fifteen years. It didn't matter - the men who flew to the moon and returned were heroes of every human being; living, dead or yet to be born. That's how monumental was their achievement.

And that's where Neil Armstrong's heroism really began - they way he conducted himself from that point on, and for the rest of his life; with honor, and genuine humility. He avoided the spotlight and refused to cash in on his fame. Neil Armstrong recognized that what he'd done was the culmination of a vast team effort, at NASA, across the nation and around the world; they'd done it on behalf of all Mankind. To gain personal fortune from this singular milestone event in human history would have lessened it. When Neil Armstrong became aware that people were selling his autographs, he stopped signing them. Imagine a celebrity behaving in such a manner in this day and age.

"Respect, and Honor"

THE AMERICAN DREAM, EXEMPLIFIED

Paul Ryan Speech at the Republican National Convention RNC


If these words do not stir your soul, then you have no soul -S.L.





"College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life. Everyone who feels stuck in the Obama economy is right to focus on the here and now.


"When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life. I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself. That's what we do in this country. That's the American Dream. That's freedom, and I'll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners."

- Representative Paul Ryan, candidate for Vice President of the United States.


Paul Ryan's words amaze me. Incredibly, I have never doubted my piece of the American dream, yet I have never taken the American Dream for granted. That's because I earned everything I've got through hard work, blood, sweat, toil and tears.
