But this is really a solid piece Bum ... and remind you, I am also pro- gun and pro- militia especially ... it's not so much a left right thing to me though I reckon. Statistically USA is No#1 when it ome's to opinion's formed and influenced by media and propaganda ... we have the best of the best as far as media as well as BS too. To me ... all institutionized religion's are sort of destructive period, I view as oppression tool's of sort ... I see none as having a thing to do with God or spirituality of any kind, and sure as Hell dont compare none of these neo- prophet's of today as having any slight resemblance of the Nazarene Jesus spoke of in the Gospel's either ... enough from me though ... but great posting Guy ...

Now I know some conservative men and women who have served as well but they are the more traditional conservative to begin with and not wingnut crazy.

The latest are a waffle iron that makes rectangle waffles for easy dipping and a "baby cake maker" which is self explanatory.<br /><br />Mike P: AWESOME!!!!<br /><br />I wish I had thought of those points! As for optimism it occasionally returns for short visits but is soon blind-sided by some event. Like the doofus I mentioned in the post who believes the 2010 midterms were fixed.<br /><br />And people wonder why I want to flee to some isolated location in Australia or New Zealand. Not to contradict myself but I actually have some hope for the greater mass of humanity for various reason that would take too long to explain in a comment. <br /><br />But as for the United States, I have said time and time again we seem stuck in a mid-20th century time frame and that world is long gone.<br /><br />Sarge: I sincerely hope so, its just that there are a wide collection of fruits and nuts that are literally wishing for something to happen so they can "take the country back."<br /><br />Lime: Americans hardly ever learn anything. It's tough when most have come to equate power with righteousness. <br /><br />Marja: Taken on an individual level I have to admit Americans are really cool. Get us in groups and things change.

You only have to shoot one - the word will spread...<br /><br />Good post and comments - Found Pixel Peeper.<br /><br />Today I was at FT Campbell, the home of the 101st Airborne - the carzies and wing nuts can stand down - I assure you that these lads and ladies are quite capable of keeping America safe - along with our people in the Marines, <br />Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and the rest of the Army. <br />So, drop that banana clip out of your Glock 19 and get back on that medication...<br /><br />Dismissed!<br /><br />The Master SergeantSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892211119418623595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-56552876984401709462013-04-20T17:23:32.123-04:002013-04-20T17:23:32.123-04:00"...our truly most vulnerable point is not so..."...our truly most vulnerable point is not some long and unguarded border but a deep mistrust and ignorance constantly exacerbated by a troop of insane political clowns."<br /><br />Wiser words are seldom spoken.<br /><br />We all live in a protective bubble of our own delusions regarding what has happened in our past and what's happening around us. For some of us, that bubble is close enough to reality to make us functional. For some...not so much. We look back on how great things 'used to be' conveniently ignoring the obvious contradictions.<br /><br />In days past, we spoke with pride of democracy, freedom, opportunity and the good life, even as we submitted to rule by bullies and their thugs from the most local level to the national. But the constitution has come to roost.<br /><br />As we are more and more forced to face up to the actual doctrines we've always claimed to uphold, more and more its fiercest defenders are getting blindsided with the revelation that it wasn't just talking about them personally. They can respond by altering their bubbles to accommodate the new situation, or they can draw it in tighter, separating themselves even further from reality. It's pretty obvious which choice they are making.<br /><br />I wish I had something optimistic to say, but I'm just not feeling it right now. Maybe tomorrow. Or next week. The underlying problem is always the same whether you are talking about radical religion, fear/hate politics, class warfare, etc.: rational, open-minded people don't organized for shit.MikePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425927693504630691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-46032789938615311792013-04-20T15:56:19.194-04:002013-04-20T15:56:19.194-04:00I have a former co-worker on my Facebook friend li...I have a former co-worker on my Facebook friend list... every time something happens (Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon bombing, etc.), I wonder what he will say to blame Obama for it.<br /><br />I really should check and see what he has to say about the explosion in West, TX, because surely that muslim Kenyan (the one who will take all our guns away before turning us into a communist nation) will somehow be connected to it.<br /><br />And hold on to your pressure cooker, because <i>they</i> will take them away, too...Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-36392417093045050762013-04-20T13:45:52.799-04:002013-04-20T13:45:52.799-04:00With regard to my last post about not getting enou...With regard to my last post about not getting enough access to the internet to blog, my wife has a headache and my daughter is at a friend's house.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.com
