Served or not served.......I dont get it, this election , is about the direction of our country ......in addition to having to buy a hunting liscense, fill out a ton of paperwork when you buy a gun, answer some questions about the type of ammo you even buy in some states....what One party wants, is for you to not have to worry about that anymore....because there wont BE any hunting, or ammunition , or guns to buy...make no mistake....and NO , I am not paranoid.......in my short lifetime of 48 years, I have seen more and more regulation , political correctness, and stupidity grip this countries government. This is not about who served......unless you want to debate that in an Obama administration, our soldiers may have to fight with broomsticks and axes....and that is just one freedom that is at stake......there is also talk of "leveling income distribution ".........wanna know what THAT means.....look it up.....
Dont take my word for it.....even Gandhi spoke of the atrocity that laid waste to an entire people, because their own government took their guns away from them ...I will post two comments made by two very different individuals....and let you decide who sounds like who.
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non ("sine qua non", it is latin.
it means "without which (it is) not (possible)").......... for the overthrow of any sovereignty." -- Adolf Hitler (H.R. Trevor-Roper, Hitler's Table Talks 1941-1944)
The leaders of our freedom struggle recognised this, even Gandhi the foremost practitioner of passive resistance and non-violence had this to say about the British policy of gun-control in India:
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." -- Mahatma Gandhi (An Autobiography OR The story of my experiments with truth, by M.K. Gandhi, p.238)
An example of British thinking in colonial times:
"No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion." --James Burgh (Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses) [London, 1774-1775]
I will leave you with this thought........and understand , I am a Patriot......not a wild eyes conservative...I pay my taxes, I worship in my own free way , I protect my family , I work, and defend my Country , The United States of America......I place my hand over my heart when the National Anthm is played....and even in our darkest hours, no matter who sat in the Oval Office, I have ALWAYS been proud of my country ...I am not perfect, nor do i point fingers at others for doing what they thought was best....I do not pretend to know what is in the heart of another man, but I know I could not sit in a place of worship, that condemned and defied our own country for 20 years...nor could I openly , and by my own admission, consort with a known terrorist....I speak of things that I know to be true, because they have been openly spoken of by the individual .........I decided to enter a reply, knowing I will be retorted to , by Democrats who think Obama is the true way of change.....I have yet to hear how that change will occur, or what that change does to help America. It sounds to me like increased taxes, increased legislation of our freedoms, and increased hand outs, for those who already drag this country down, by not participating in life..by working , if able, paying taxes, and not expecting the government , to pay for their existance....I cannot explain to my children, when we are a t a grocery store, why the lady in front of us , has those little pieces of paper, that pay for all her groceries.....and why she gets into a better car that we have, and that they know it is one of their classmates Mom, and they knwo he has no dad, and his Mom does not work........because my children are smart enough to observe I work two jobs , to make ends meet.....and we still cant do all we'd like to .....I tell them simply that the Goverment pays money for poeple who need help.....their comment is simply , she looks fine to me...why doesn;t she have two jobs too?
When you all get finished argueing about who served, and in what branch of the Armed Forces.....please answer that question for me, so I can tell my kids.......and remember, Obama, wants to "level the income distribution "...even more........you know, in this country , some people get rich by work, others by inheritance, others by chance......complaining thsat those folks have too much, and they should share with those who do not....sends a very clear message to our children........it tells them to expect something for nothing.....because the mean old ricch people OWE us , somer of :what they got".......BULL#$##..............that thinking is wrong, morally , and constitutionally wrong..........I dont care who you are, you HAVE to agree with that .......I started this about guns.....so I leave it to a true patriot to say the following....
...."I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."-- Patrick Henry
