2020 Has Been A Bad Year, But!
« on: December 26, 2020, 03:06:29 PM »
Here is a picture of our soldiers in 1944, at "The Battle of the Bulge ".

My point? Quit whining!

While most here (myself included) on GBO, and the rest of the United States are sittin on their asses and whinin about losing the election, and our freedoms.

ONE MAN, surrounded by the enemy, is still standing, and still swinging.

We are ready to defend the homestead while young men fight in the trenches.
No whining here, just anger at a bunch of communists trying to take the country.

  Correct Bug..not near so much whining, just controlled rage over a stolen election, just trying to prevent it from becoming a stolen country.
  Actually foxholes are viable in a few cases, even though they are not employed all that much.  "Trenches", such as used in WW1, are moribund.  Warfare obliterated that notion with the tank, and blitzkrieg tactics.
   Patton himself, made that declaration as he attacked the Siegfried line.

  "fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man"?  (George S Patton)
"They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns, then it will be through the bullet"      (Saul Alinsky) ...hero of the left..

Reality.
What ever one wishes to call this year, or the past four, it exposes the reality this country has slid into a long time ago with politicians, sports and Hollywood being treated as royalty while most citizens bow willingly.

My point exactly.

COLLECTIVELY!
People across the country have had their "pet issues", whether it be abortion, the 2nd Amendment, freedom of speech,  ect.
While focusing on their pet peeves, no one checks voting records, they ignore the fact THEIR CANDIDATE never follow through with their campaign promises, while in the meantime are getting fabulously wealthy on a salary of less than $200,000.00 a year.
Its not about one issue, and never has been.
We as a voting population have allowed these rap scallions to stay in office sometimes for more than half a century, and run our business as a country, into the ground.

Now we don't like where we are, but it is a result of our generations after WWII, that have allowed it to decay into what it is, while we busied ourselves with work, and entertainment, and self-righteous, self-centeredness.
Collectively we can stay in denial, but politicans, Hollywood elites, and professional sports got wealthy on deceitful pacification, and entertainment, while collectively, we were playing in our own tiny little individual worlds.
War is being shouted by some as the only solution, but war means loss, and chaos, in this country, not someone elses.
If war is what we end up with, it will not be as romantic, and glorious as a movie, and unlike a civil war battle once fought in Missouri where citizens sat on their front porches and watched.

While most of this is true, I and many others do check voting records.
That is why I started buying ammo the day that osama obama announced his candidacy.

big differnce between then and now is people back then were willing to fight and die for this country. Today you get mostly lip service. People then felt and obligation to serve the country. Today they mostly flap there lips and serve themselves. This is not only true about the liberals either.

Personally I DO NOT want to live under communism.
See my sig line.

And, my beautiful wife has said the same.
We want freedom to worship GOD, not the state.
