"Beware the ides of March".... and the UN Small Arms Ban Treaty ... the next 2 weeks will tell the tale.
The snow's melt in the Kush, the passes open up, steel rain falls on my head.
The cherry blossoms bloom in DC, the rhetoric intensifies. The president plays golf, Biden and Feinstein take point. The UN does his dirty work, fait accompli.
America sleeps peacefully thru both.
Dream well my darlings.

I have to say, I haven't. I've had my fingers in some cracks but that was long ago.....lol
Everyday is a fight anymore and yes, it was a good read.
Problem is, today, citizens look at things differently and live differently than back then.
Back then, people weren't spoon fed their pablum, they had to go out and get it. What they had they worked for and worked hard. Today, thats not ther case.
Food comes from the grocery not the woods or the garden. Transportation is via car not horseback and no one (except hunters) walk anywhere now. Getting the paper from the mailbox is considered a chore.
One reason why we have so much obesity here. People have become complacient and sedetary and expect to be given necessities and if thats not occuring in a fashion they deem acceptable, they cry, hence 'entitlement'....
So yes, lots of parallels between then and now, however, now is a different mindset than then.
Not saying everyone falls into that catergory, but a large segment of the population does. Those people have no foresight and really don't care about tomorrow, the agenda of the government or their fellow citizens, so long as they get what they deem they deserve.
I do take solace that at least 11 million citizens feel strongly about what this coutry and it's principles were founded on. Thats a pretty strong statement in itself.

Good one Flip... gotta chuckle out of that.
Reading this article brought back some memories. I was born in Phily and family is from Eastern PA - Allentown area now. I have been to Valley Forge, Betsy Ross' House and numerous other such historic sites. Putting ones hand on the Bell and touching "LIBERTY" makes an impression on a young person and in maturity the understanding becomes so much more the relevant. Remembering placing my hand in the crack just emphasizes the reality.
Good points and I would add that public education does not teach our history in regards to the birth of this nation and the causes and price of that birth. Else there would much more than 11 million citizens who feel strongly about what this coutry and it's principles were founded on.

Do you know what animal does not hunt or gather for their survival? A kept animal. Mitt caught a lot of flack over his 47 percent comment during the election. The problem is it was the truth. There seems to be a large segment of our population that think this is ok. They have changed the words they use as almost subliminal messaging. Entitlement.... you have never worked and never will but you are entitled to be kept up as long as you vote for me. Less fortunate...... you that went to school, studied and got good grades and work 40 to 60 hours a week are LUCKY. what you are is fortunate to work to support the entitled. The newest one Raising revenue....... Taxing the lucky. Don't you feel like a lucky lottery winner? You have worked hard to get where you are and the things you have, despite the govt, and they call you fortunate/ lucky.

I did take a motorcycle trip to Virginia to visit a good freind who just happens to be a retired Virginia State Highway Patrol officer and we visited George Washington's birthplace and among the artifacts there was his wooden teeth.
I thought, man, this dude had some oral issues......
I'm not all that comfortable visiting places of white supremacy. It's doable but not always comfortable.
I remrmber the arcane stuff, but thats how I am.......

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that - somebody else made that happen." - Barack Obama
I still can't believe these words came out of the mouth of an American president.
By the gods I will fight as long as there is breath in my body.

I do have a business, started it 20 years ago. When my wife heard that she accused me of cheating on her. I asked her if she was nuts. She said well if someone else built your business where were you for 16 to 18 hours a day for those first 7 years?
