When the USA won her Independence and when we fought our own civil war, there were good people willing to work and fight hard for the benefit of this country. People willing to sacrifice for a greater cause than themselves and their own comfort.

Those sort of people still exist, I know many of them. I'm sorry that you don't know any of them. Perhaps you should hang out with a different crowd?

I'm not talking about their comfort. I'm talking about putting food on the table for their families.

Or are they supposed to put their families on welfare so they can don cammies and tote a rifle all day?

Or will they make their money by "confiscating contraband from illegal aliens" for resale?
