Today

101 years ago, the Army adopted the Pistol, model of 1911.

I own 5. carry one (or it’s twin) daily.

Dammned good piece of engineering there, Mr. Browning.

I wonder

What  MLK would think of this brouhaha over Trayvan Martin and George Zimmerman?

Would HE choose to support a young black man over a white man?

Would he be all for summary justice….in other words, a lynching?

Would HE support the (New) Black Panthers and their reward for blood? 

Would he be calling for blood as justice?

I really doubt it.

I think he’d be wanting facts, and would let the system work first.

Yep Just like that

This is more about how I see people. I could really care less what the color of your skin is. Or the shade.

But if yer a lowlife, then it matters.

Ya know, ….the content of your character.

If you act like a lowlife, I’m gonna assume you are one, and treat you accordingly.

If it matters, I know a lot more white lowlifes than black or asian or hispanic ones.

I don’t hang around with lowlifes, period. 

Nor do I defend them, no matter what their particular shade is.

Divide and conquer

One wonders how long the plans for the division of this country by race have been in the can…just waiting for something to use as the starting point to rally the population behind.

If one were a suspicious sort who sees conspiracies behind every blade of grass.

I have been accused of being like that.

And, while I may be delusional, events do seem to be confirming my suspicions.

I wonder how many “advisors” the administration have sent to Sanford Florida?

And I wonder if the leaders of the protests elsewhere realize they are tools being manipulated for someone else’s end?

Today marks the beginning

Of the decision as to whether the United States remains the free country that it’s founders envisioned when they wrote the wonderful document we call “the Constitution”.

Today, the Supreme Court of this land begins the process to determine whether you,and I and our children, and their children who live beyond that shall be free, protected by the Constitution, or shall be slaves to the State. Today the courts begin to hear arguments regarding the abomination we call “ObamaCare”

Today begins the determination as to whether this country does more than just pay lip service to the document which made this country the shining beacon to all those people in the world who wanted a chance to be free….To have self determination…to have a chance to make something for themselves, without the crushing load put upon their shoulders by the ever oppressive State..to those who struggled to make it to our shores, just to have a chance to touch the dream of freedom. Today, marks the beginning of the decision as to what this country shall be.

I do not envy those justices on the Supreme Court Bench. They must, with deliberation, in a few words, write a decision which can fundamentally change the character of this country…and decide whether our country shall continue to exist. To decide whether we will be free men, or slaves of the State. Decide whether this country shall continue to provide hope for the rest of the world, or become a failed State, tossed onto  the trashheap of history….like those of Europe, or the USSR,  like Argentina and others. Failures in their economic policy, and failures to their citizens

Today marks the beginning….either the beginning of the end of our country….or the beginning of a new hope, that this country can recover from the depredations of the Statists, or that we shall follow the other failed states into decline. The decision made in these next few day, or weeks, moths even, will determine the fate of our country and its citizens…and decide the future for millions who live here and the millions more who dare to dream to do so some day.

I fear for today, yet I have hope. We can only hope. Hope for our country, and hope for our fellow citizens….and the future citizens of our country.

The closer you get

to the Treyvon/Zimmerman thing…

The more you can smell the stink.

I am beginning to think that, while the original tragedy was just that, a tragedy….that the rest of the outrage was designed to rally the black segment of our citizens around any black leader….and especially Mr. Obama.

He really needs their vote to get re-elected, what with all the steps being taken to limit or eliminate voter fraud….and the fact that even a third of the African-American voters (who rallied so strongly to him in 2008) are likely to vote for someone else, or at least not vote….

Stranger thingz have happened in politics.

“if I had a son, he’d look like Treyvon”

And if he dressed and looked like this, I’d think he was a hood too. And until I knew differently, I’d treat him like a lowlife hood as well.(and the above picture is what he looks like TODAY, not the 4 year old picture that is floating around in the news media)

While again, we don’t know what happened, and while I refuse to assume that either party is innocent or guilty until we know more, I’d have looked at Treyvon as a threat to the peace, safety and wellbeing of my neighborhood too, especially, since he was a visitor to the neighborhood.

No doubt, his appearance was a factor in this incident
