What does humble law abiding folk get you...

  You sure won't be feared in school or at work, but then you are probably successful in business, family and work. Think about it, there are ugly thugs out there, shooting badly and killing people they didn't even mean to hit (secret, they shoot like Hollywood is going to make it a great shot in editing). There won't be a lot of drama in your life if you are a good guy, the media will cover the man or woman that wants to save their sexual life for marriage, that cultural custom of commitment to a partner of the other sex to reproduce bad copies of yourselves - just hoping their life will be the one that saves the world... That is a twenty year commitment now, or twenty-six under ObamaCares. But I watched a reporter laugh at a young hurdler that said she was remaining a virgin until marriage... laughed at the answer, like the young woman was crazy.

  I was think about it, that God Fearing, Law abiding, Good Citizens are what politicians and Kings and dictators fear most. They like scum, thieves and terrorists -- they hire the same to protect their position and love to snort fool powder, or shoot morphine with the other corrupt folks. All for their little god called money and power. Anyway, Howard Zinn, famed Historian and Socialist thinker, had much to say about following the government into wars and destruction.

As I look at History, it is the common people that will build the civilization, when they believe in themselves and have a future to build. Yes they can use a good leader, one that is worth following... but it isn't a given that a position makes one a leader. Over forty some Presidents in the United States of America, and how many of them were leaders? Six? Eight? Ten? How many can you name and what made them a leader? There were thousands of people, millions of people that made the country and over seventy percent of the Presidents weren't leading that population anywhere. More control feels like the Communists or Fascists making trains run on time. The Media wants the population to be swayed and controlled by its message, they make business pay for the privilege of being present.


During my morning walk, I took a picture of what some of those people have done without the President or his leadership. Oregon Trail markers. The people came and this wasn't even the United States territory at the time, in the 1930's they erected the marker, part of the make work for prosperity of FDR. There once was a brass plaque near the top, but it was ripped off and never replaced by some fine meth sucking punks that needed money. Well, I did get lots of exercise today, 80rds of dry fire with the M1, and a couple of war films to watch between bouts of commercial enterprise and political BS. Don't they know that People died serving the cause of Liberty, only to have their posterity waste it on picnics, drunkenness and sex? Well, not you and I, we don't work with the Secret Service. Memorial Day, remember how many did it without the leadership at National level. Thank God for accepting their lives and sacrifice in battle.
