What is a moderate, conservative, libertarian?

Most of us are trying to make up our minds as to when we need to start shooting the b@stards, (sorry, that really sounds radical, but Glen Beck says that it is the most asked question on his show).

We are at a crossroads. Will we continue to be a "nation of cowards"? Francis Scott Key, the author of the "Star Spangled Banner", ended that anthem with a question. "Oh say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave, over the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"

His son spent four years as a guest of the Lincoln administration at Ft. McHenry as a political prisoner in Ft. McHenry. (His son was a Confederate sympathizer).

Could the answer be, "no"?

Is it possible that we have betrayed liberty for security?

I retired from the US Marine Corps. I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic". The real question is, "Who are the real enemies of the Consititution?"

I read the Constitution, often. I carry a copy in my pocket, every time I go to Court. (I am a lawyer). I still take that oath seriously. On a very personal level, I am still trying to fulfill that oath.

Our government, our Courts, and our President consider the Constitution as a "d@mned piece of paper". The Washington 2nd Amendment Case is going before the US Supreme Court, and I am betting that they rule against the Constitution. Are we going to remain, a "Nation of Cowards", subjects, rather than citizens? Or, will we rise, and take our country back?

I have lived in the North, and the "left coast", and frankly, I don't think that you live in the real America. It only exists in Dixie.

In Dixie, there are a bunch of "good ol' boys, Scots-Irish hotheads, that refuse to bow their heads to anybody. Call us Rednecks, Christian fundamentalists, Crackers, but we are the backbone of America.

If we have our own country, what will you do for a military?

“What is a moderate, conservative, libertarian?”

A survey I did a long time ago...said I was a moderate libertarian conservative.

I’m economically libertarian. I favor free-banking (pre-1860...to be exact). I’m moderate on foreign policy but I lean conservative ie I believe in a decent size military and a reasonable foreign policy. I’m mostly conservative on domestic issues.

I would say I’m in the same sort of mind-set as John Adams/Thomas Jefferson, but with a modern view of foreign affairs. That’s probably were I differ with Ron Paul.

“Or, will we rise, and take our country back?”

The greatest thing about our founders was that they revolutionized our political future, and they didn’t have to fire a bullet.

Now I know you’re thinking...yes they did. Well, the war was over independence. When we had it, we had to unifying our country with a Constitution. Our founder’s ideas were just that, and thus the brillance.

I believe if we are to ever succeed in bring government down to a rational size...we have to use our minds, not our guns.

“In Dixie, there are a bunch of “good ol’ boys, Scots-Irish hotheads, that refuse to bow their heads to anybody. Call us Rednecks, Christian fundamentalists, Crackers, but we are the backbone of America.”

My friend sort of thinks that. I myself, feel dillusioned with the right (ie the political figures). Historically they’ve been rather weak, and I wonder why the South continues to support such weak candidates.

I can’t speak for my state, but then again, I don’t control my state either.

reference a SECOND WBTS = should it come to that, look for "The Commonwealth of TAXatuecetts" to field the "Barney Frank Guards" in PINK uniforms & the "Teddy Kennedy Cape Cod Orcas" (they won't last long, as they'll go into the water at the first bridge they cross.).

CA will likely send "the Holly-WIERD Pansy Brigade"

and NY, "The Saint Jane Fonda Rangers" & the "Nambla Artillery".

at least our lads will die LAUGHING!!!
