« on: April 12, 2011, 08:23:41 PM »


It started at Ft. Sumter, in South Carolina.....

  ::)

Jus' upholdin' suthern' tradition.... ;) After all Lincoln unlawfully detained so many folks,.....no trial, no hearings,....but it's how those Yankee's roll...

Even Fredrick Douglas hated Lincoln...Oh he was Black,...check Aug. 1862 White House meeting.

Summer 1862, The Confederacy was kicking ass,....until the night "They Drove Ol' Dixie Down".....

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars!!!

Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

Look, I'm a Southern boy. Both sides of the family fought for the South. I even had my (many times) great Uncle Sullivans calvarly sabre before pssing it on to my cousin Mike afer he sobered up as he was the eldest heir. Sullivan was a three hundred pound calvalry major from Georgia (pity the poor horse ;D). Still and all, I'm glad we lost. Not only was the cause wrong, but if we had won, the South would look like Brazil. An agricultural economy dependent on imports and run by aristocrats and fueled by corruption. We won by losing. I still have a portrait of Robert E. Lee on my wall though. ;)
