Praise be -- PLEASE let them "bring it on"...

I've waited a long time....I'm and old man and don't have much more time, if I'm going to participate in the defense of the Constitution and the Republic..

The closest example of such a thing taking place in recent times would be the Finnish Civil War of 1918, in which the Finns exterminated the Communist revolutionary threat in their own midst. The cost was the death of around 3% of the population of the country, that in a 4-month long bloodletting that would almost certainly be much more protracted in this time and place, and of course far more brutal if the other side thinks they have a chance of winning through NVA or Mau-Mau style intimidation...particularly if foreign nationals from south of the border choose to participate.

I do not look forward to the idea of such casualties here, but it may well come to that. And remenber, if you are not helping to train junior officers and subordinates, both by lesson and example, you're not doing everything you could be. If you are, then you can be much more satisfied that the situation will be in good hands long after you are gone.

I was thinking that bullets are cheaper than a trial, but on 2nd thought, a rope can be re-used.

I like the way your mind works!

I think that LA can serve as an example for how such a conflict would vary widely from region to region. LA now is run by "Mayor MECHa," who spent most of his life pushing for Aztlanizing the Southwest. It is already a "sanctuary city," the place cop killers flee to on their way to Mejico. I can only imagine the proportions this "sanctuary" status will take on in years to come. I think Greater LA is going to be virtually a foreign enclave on American soil.

In such places, I would not want to be living as part of a minority ethnic group, when TSHTF. It will be very brutal, with Stalinist martial law being imposed by future Mayor MECHas as the only alternative to Mad Max warlordism.

Naturally, this presupposes our national economy will by and large collapse. Anywhere you picked to live had better be near its own supplies of food and water, and very far from large urban areas. At least 300 miles (a tank of gas by maraudering gangs).

Haven't you ever wondered why the anti-gun forces were so concerned about the existance of *assualt rifles with bayonet lugs* in the hands of American patriots? The bayonetting of traitors and spies when such accounts are settled has long been not only a means of taking out the trash, but also of providing good training for previously squeamish rookies. The practice also serves pour encourager les autres, and was widely used by the Japanese troops wishing tomake their point on the subjugated peoples of China and the Phillipines, as well as American POWs taken in the early days of WWII.

The eventual payback for those Jap excesses came at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Oh no. Not at ALL the ONLY alternative.

Mr. Rat, I have a writ here that says you are to stop eating Cheng Lee's cornmeal forthwith. Now, It's a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of same! See? He doesn't pay any attention to me.

(BANG)

You can't serve papers on a rat, baby sister. You either kill him or let him be.

If they wish to collect alltheir eggs in one basket, that's their problem....

No argument from me.... I agree whole heartedly.
I've never gotten much out of vicarious involvement -- I've always felt it my job to keep those burdens from my "charges".....

I wouldn't want my grandchildren to have to correct the errors that my generation created.

I'm a participant -- not an observer..
But trust me - I got your point, and believe I've done an acceptable job with preparing my own young ones.

Semper Fi

Getting 300 miles from a "hot bed" of mouth breathing leftists is damned near impossible in Kalifornicate...

I just drew three 250 mile radius circles, with the centers in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland...
EVERY bit of the West coast is COVERED --- except a very small section of coast at Crescent City, CA - far to the North..

EVERY other bit of Kalifornicate except Crescent City -- falls within just 2 of the 250 mile radius circles -- and 80 percent of both Oregon and Washington are covered by the 250 mile radius originating in Portland!!! Nearly 100% of the Oregon and Washington coast is covered....

Now then, if I were a tin hat wearing conspiracy flake -- I would sure get excited about the fact that ONLY Crescent City escapes the "Zone"...

There ain't anywhere to run folks...
You got to defeat them at the ballot box -- or hope they get stupid and do something that brings them into "season" with no "bag limit"..

Don't elect another sonuvabitch that doesn't believe in protecting Border, language and culture.....
Otherwise -- you keep dropping turds into a fresh lake -- and you end up with another turd world cess pool...

Semper Fi

Yep. America is our lifeboat, and if it swamps and broaches, we'll all be swimming.

At the rate I'm losing brain cells...

Wait a minute, I had a point, somewhere.

"our lives, our liberty, our property are not safe, while the legislature is in session."

Thos. Jefferson.

Might have mangled the quote a bit - but your author stole it.

The gun grabbers in my state should be afraid of me, since I AM going after them - ballot box style.

According to Cliff Claven, drinking makes you smarter by killing off the weaker/dumb brain cells and leaving only the stronger/smarter ones-- survival of the fittest kind of thing on a cellular level.

I know that I think I'm smarter while I'm drinking so maybe there is some truth to it. I'm going to perform another test tomorrow night.

I'm working on my nighttime coffee now. I don't have enough brain cells left for booze. Well, not on nights I want to do any writing, anyway.
