Some may, like many in this country, not be aware that loss of the ENTIRE constitution and bill of rights can be SUSPENDED WITH THE STROKE OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PEN. (that law was passed and on the boks for quite a few years under the emrgency powers act)
No matter how you feel, take five minutes of your day.
Grab a drink and read the writing on this blog by a Marine combat pilot on a very real possibility for this country in just a short time...

Printed it out.
WAY too much to read off of a screen.

You really think every soldier and every cop would simply fall in line and do what they're told? Or that every citizen would sit idly by and let anything like this happen?
If so, you have a very poor opinion of your neighbors.
This is the kind of BS that makes people like McVeigh do what they do.

Are you enjoying lunch with Horney Toad again?? You really need to put your head on straight and get with the program. This country is in serious peril and idiots like you are promoting its demise.
Please go find a sandbox to play in or better yet, shove your head into a toilet bowl and attempt breathing. Our nation will be forever grateful for your attempts!!!

But the 3 percent would not. That's all it takes.
Yes, I do believe that the vast majority would.
I don't believe that every one would, but I do not think that we are that culturally dissimilar from the Germans in 1936.
And I think that posturing and chest thumping does very little for the future.
Except identify targets.
Hitler disarmed the people first. Then suspended their constitution.

I just send him to play under the kiddy table with horny toad and hairy.. He is one of the old models.
No need to bring up his high school memories.
Let clear up a couple of things:
First, yes, I'm a Marine combat veteran and a pilot, however, I learned to fly after I left active duty. Maybe I should have made that clear in my profile on blogspot. I was an 0311! No harm, no foul.
Secondly. for indy_kid's benefit. No, I don't have a low opinion of my neighbors. Sorry you got that impression. In fact, I belong to an outfit called Oathkeepers. Come take a look at us: http://www.oath-keepers.blogspot.com/
The story isn't finished yet. [;)]
I hope to publish the entire story on LULU press very soon.
Glad to be here!

Welcome, stick around, we could use some more GOOD input.
My Cuban friend retired last week, he believes Jesus is returning soon in a giant space ship named "The Glory of God". I'm hoping that its still a thousand years away.

Thanks, James and PSFD Donkey.
I'll be checking in from time to time, but this weekend I'll be shooting footage for a documentary. This looks like my kind of place.

Thanks for your service, lt496. That wouldn't be Detective Lieutenant, would it?

Actually, i've been a Captain since 2002. I was the Bureau Commander of Criminal Investigations, up until January 2009.
Welcome Mike, Just remember that sometimes there's no intelligent life here.
Thanks armilite1015,
That happens on this side of the monitor, too.[:D]
My son and I will watch and wait for the "rest of the story".
We both like it so far.

Thanks Shooter!
I'm getting to know my readers and they're my kind of people. Even if they don't like the story, it gives them something to chew on and I get to exercise my right to spin a yarn (while I still can).
The scary 'hate speech' legislation coming up is one more way to riddle the 1st Amendment and could turn writings like mine into a criminal activity. Indy_kid actually brought up a salient point: under the new legislation, my writing could be construed as encouraging 'terrorism' under that new definition.
I'm not in ANY way encouraging violence. Just the opposite. I hope the story conveys how armed conflict makes a train wreck of people and ruins the land. How it destroys the best and brightest. How it pulls us down to our lowest common denominator. In the meantime, we can pray for peace and prepare for survival.

When Indy_Kid speaks.....................[;)]
Well, let me just say this:
Indykid has his head buried deeply in the sand.[:(]
I believe there is hope for him though, because he keeps coming back.[^]
The truth abounds here on the GB Forum.
There are some hard truths that we do not like to have to look at, but desperately need to look at.
I believe that it is imperative that we cause ourselves to think long and hard about when to and when not to "pull the trigger".
Your book is a going to be a good tool to help accomplish that.
