Article 85.

Some time ago former president Obama PRAISED then US Army Sgt Beaudry Robert Bergdahl for serving “with honor and distinction”. We LOST 6 MEN and a Combat DOG, (a claim disputed by (E-9 Type) CSM Ken Wolf who, in Stars & Stripes, said ““It doesn’t hold water because you’re in a very bad neighborhood regardless.

I Carry A Loaded…

Copy of the Constitution. Don’t believe me? Stop me on the street, in the market or anywhere else. I can draw it out almost as fast as I can my weapon. The “pocket” versions of ALL of our foundaing documents are available from many sources. I got mine from the Heritage Foundation, (www.heritage.org), for a

A Blue-eyed Guest Essay, Redux.

This is the second guest essay by a very dear friend of mine. I can only hope, one day, to be able to express sentiments such as this as eloquently as she. Enjoy this, every word, for all it’s worth. I sincerely hope there will be a “#3” and more. Thank you, M’Lady! Where’re We

Circle analogy. Revisited.

I’ve HAD IT With Conservatives!

Oh, dear reader! Please don’t take this in the wrong way! I am still way to the right of Genghis Khan. Joe McCarthy still looks at me and thinks: “DAY-UM!”. The Duke and Ronald Reagan are in heaven wondering why they never shook my hand. But there’s a lot at stake in the next many

An Area of Plaintive Concern.

Area of CONCERN. Even if you only ever visit websites that begin with “WWW” you’ll see evidence of this. Lots of evidence. I am seeing more and more websites, (replete with spam and traffic tracking engines), actively seeking people to don camouflage clothing, buy military surplus or new commercially made gear, (or kit, as some

A Compassionate Fight

We are a compassionate people. I am a compassionate person. At least I’d like to think so. But we all have limits, don’t we? From the number of times you’ll get a toothache before going to a dentist, the time we’ll spend on hold or the number of times a kid says “mom! mom! mom!”
