When Men Were…..Men

When Men Were…..Men

I don’t want to go back in time, but I sure wish that our current batch of snowflakes had the moral compass of the old days. How do you think a militant mexican transgendered bi-lesbian curious whatever, which the military is now accepting in their ranks, would hold up around the men of “The Greatest Generation”?

“Called “The Greatest Generation” and for good reason.

“What all these fellas had in common was morals, sense of community, honor, strength, the good old virtues. They vibed calm, deadly if necessary; do the right thing always, no speaking falsely, word is my bond. No showboating or colorful language tossed around just to hear themselves talk, no hey look at me how important I am sort of conduct.

“These guys were by no means exceptional or heavy-duty. They were just regular fellas, living life and doing things the right way, same as all over the country, men of that generation, Americans to their last breath. What they didn’t do was talk like some kinda punks that had paper assholes. They didn’t have to. They knew their strength and were secure with it.tumblr_n9gk9rtlLv1tipu2so1_500

“If you didn’t work you didn’t eat. That’s pretty basic. Didn’t have to think about injustices to migrant workers or whether women were getting paid the same or whether queers could get married. They weren’t reluctant about calling some folks deadbeats, moochers, parasites, like, gee, it’s gonna hurt their feelings. People back then (including the women folk who were a hell of a lot stronger than the men sometimes) people had some clear understanding of morals, civic duty, work together-ness.” Here

I think men like the late Chris Kyle remind us of what American men should be. I hope and pray that there are more just like him still in military service.

Forty children gave a stirring rendition of the national anthem after they were shown a patriotic movie in honor of April being the Month of the Military Child.
According to Hannah Kunze, about 40 children at Naval Station Rota in Spain were taken to a matinee. The children ranging from 5 to 12 years old stood, and “without being asked, belted out our National Anthem with their hands on their hearts.”

What a good man, have tissues ready.

Two days after she laid her beloved soldier husband to rest Emma Weaver opened the laptop he’d had in Afghanistan and was overcome with emotion.

Mrs Weaver realized her darling husband Todd, who was killed by an IED on his second tour of Afghanistan in September 2010, had written both his leading ladies goodbye letters in the event of his death.There were two Word documents on the desktop, one called ‘Dear Emma,’ the other marked ‘Dear Kiley’ for the couple’s baby daughter.

Got this in an e-mail this morning. From what I understand this was twelve years after the shooting.

Guess our national leaders didn’t expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.
They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The following is a portion of the transcript:


“Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.
“The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain’s heart.
“In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA – because I don’t believe that they are responsible for my daughter’s death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel’s murder I would be their strongest opponent
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy — it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.

Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You’ve stripped away our heritage,
You’ve outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question “Why?”
You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need!

“Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation’s history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine’s tragedy occurs — politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.
“As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA — I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter’s death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!” – Darrell Scott

Bob Owens poses an interesting question. Why are we fighting to keep the weapons the government has allowed us to have? Why not fight to get back the weapons that they unconstitutionally banned? Why put up with ANY registration at all? He makes a very valid point. Worth the read.
Simply said, fight fire with fire, start demanding more instead of begging for the right to keep what we already own or would like to own.

 “If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” (Samuel Adams, 1780)

Say Hello To 2013

Say Hello To 2013

If you thought 2008-12 was bad…..wait till you get a load of 2013.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I am not one for conspiracy theory. I am one for potential reality, and the reality is that this country can’t sustain the habitual government spending without paying for their irresponsibility at some point in time. The time frame for an economic collapse is unknown, but it will happen. Conservative or Liberal it does not matter, the wheels have been put in motion and it can’t be stopped, we have gone too far down the path.

Keep your eye on California, they have spent and taxed themselves into fiscal hell,  business’s are leaving the state by droves, and  they are upside down in revenue. How many California cities have filed for bankruptcy already? The only way to maintain current obligations is a bailout from the federal government. Our current resident in the Whitehouse and his groupies in the senate and congress are following the same blueprint as California, taxing the wealthy to the extent they take their business elsewhere, and spending beyond revenue.

 The question then becomes, who bails out the federal government? Who comes to the rescue of America? Well, nobody that’s who, and there is your collapse, the death of the dollar, and the beginning of the revolution.
Be prepared. Below is a portion of a story I read today, you can read all of it here.

 

There’s a reason thousands of Americans have been purchasing guns of all description and laying up stores of ammunition and it may go beyond concerns of gun bans. A lot of patriots think that 2013 could turn very ugly, very fast, with fears of martial law, Homeland Security goons, mass arrests, secret incarcerations, and worse. I have doubts about these scenarios, but they have long been a part of the arsenal of oppressive governments.

 

The trigger, however, for such scenarios would be the collapse of the U.S. dollar and there are signs—the massive national debt, the continued government borrowing and spending—that suggest this is a very real possibility. If and when that occurs, all bets are off.

 

What stands between most Americans and those who might wish to engineer the end to the Constitution is the fact that America is home to hundreds of thousands of hunters who comprise, by virtue of being armed, the largest army in the world. A goodly portion of our law enforcement community and our military are going to refuse orders to turn their guns on their fellow Americans and doing so would prove to be unhealthy.

 

Revolution is never pretty, but Americans did it once and can do it again to protect the Constitution and our rights. In a sharply divided nation, however, the level of resistance is unknown when so many now depend on the government for support. Many will prefer their chains.
