We have already 'failed' our kids for the most part. Look around you, take a good look. What do you see? You see kids with the noses in computer games, doing drugs, running wild with no parental supervision not that you can supervise because corporal punishment for being bad is viewed by the government as assualting your kid.

I see it everyday, young men and women coming in looking for a job, with no skills but a HS diploma and that means nothing because kids today graduate without the basic skills needed to survive, they come in, pants down around their *** cracks, ball cap on backwards, covered with tats, can't even fill out a rudimentary employment application and want top tier wage right off the bat.... If and I say if, they can pass a drug screen. Then, if they make it to employment, most work a couple days and then call in sick.

Great work ethic. You know why? Because the parental upbringing and instilled principles aren't there anymore. Kids today are about 'gimme' this and 'gimme' that. Not all but a large percentage.

Good luck with yours, mine are grown and I have grandkids. You know what. my grandkids ain't much.

Far as I'm concerned, out of HS, 2 years of mandatory selective service or college with a 3.5GPA or better or selective service. There needs to to regimented discipline in this country. Thats sadly lacking.

The worst thing that happened in this country in the las 20 years was abolishment of the draft.

I have a very close friend who is a German National. He lives in Mannheim. grew up thyere. Works for John Deere as a design engineer, he comes over here every year for work sessions so I see him regularly.

In Germany, when you graduate from High School, you can either join the Army, work in a hospital, perform public service and/or go on to school. Thats how it should be here.

He didn't grow up under the Constitution so firearms are foreign to him. Only the police and soliders have weapons and if you are a civillian, you can own ONE sporting rifle, thats it. No pistols, no AR's, no nothing and the paperwork and licensing cost is astronomical. He comes here and shoots my firearms as he knows I like them, however, he really has no interest. It's out of courtesy and friendship. What I'm saying here is.....

If you don't have them and never did, you don't miss them and thats the point of my previous posts.

The first generation that looses the right to bear arms is gonna be ****ed, plenty ****ed, but, succeeding generations without the right to own arms as private citizens, it will become less and less of an issue until it's not an issue at all. It will be considered abnormal to own a firearm, reserved for the rich and powerful only.. Common people won't have firearms and thats how it works in a complacient society of sheeple, which is, exactly what we are, like it or not.

Don't think we are (as a whole). Better look around, read the state run media (I used to laugh at that statement but it's true). Just look at the people on entitlement, collect ADC, Welfare, Food Stamps, have Bridge Cards, trying to defraud businesses or suing one another. It's all about 'me' and whats good for me which is why I say, it's about 'we', not 'me'.

Your kids won't know the freedoms we took for granted. Thats the way it is. Accept it or resist it, your choice, probably the only real choice you have anymore. Everything else is controlled or impacted by the government because the sheeple want it that way.
 
Prepare yourself for what is to come by your own means or by the leading of the Holy Spirit. If we all assume "it" is going to happen then prepare. He doesn't do anything unless he first reveals his secret to his servants. He is ultimately in control so he will reveal what is allowed to be done. Make sure you know who your "neighbors" are. The 2 new commandments are about loving Him and your neighbor. Are these people our neighbors? Are radical people who try to kill us our neighbors? There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. Have peace. Easy thing to type, tough thing to do. I know. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.
 
This is the letter that I sent to my state and federal representatives today,

Dear ...,
I know you are an educated person. You are a politician and politics is your 'job'. We both live by a code embracing 'dignity and respect', 'duty and honor', 'Veritas et Aequitas'. You are a parent. You have raised your children with values and respect. We aspire to a republic which is free, respects the constitution and honors the sacrifices our forefathers made in order for us to have the freedoms we share.

We are alike, You and I. We are both free Americans. We have both sacrificed defending our freedom.

I am not a politician, although I have been in public service all of my life. I am a retired US Army officer having served and lead as both enlisted and officer, a retired Newport News Firefighter/ Paramedic, and I am now serving in Afghanistan supporting our soldiers. I am no longer a young man.

I have lived my life, served my country, raised my children as a free American embracing freedom of choice. My parents taught me right from wrong, respect, obedience, sacrifice, patience, and hard work is rewarded.

I have fought for the freedoms this country enjoys. Right now the very boots on my feet bear the blood of soldiers who have fought and died for this country, two of them from from tidewater Virginia. This is not an exaggeration. I held their hand as they died. I kissed their forehead when they passed. I whispered in their ear and thanked them for their sacrifice. I asked our Father to welcome them, embrace them, and to allow them to serve Him. I cried for them and their families. I carry them in my heart. Their sacrifice guides me, gives me resolve and steels me for the fight which they gave their lives and bodies for.

I have fought for and defended our freedoms as a soldier must. It is the role I freely and honorably accepted. I have faced adversity on 3 continents, in every conflict this country has been involved in since I was a teenager, since 1971. I have shed my blood, given my life, body, soul to my country to keep the freedoms we were born with. I have had to make life and death decisions, I have seen fear, I have seen terror, I have seen unimaginable death, I have seen anguish, I have seen despair, I have seen indescribable pain. I had to somehow find strength and resolve myself to soldier on. I am not without scars, I am not without trauma, I am not without ghosts. My family has sacrificed, they have been without their father and husband for years at at time. They too have soldiered and given their lives for our country in their own way. They understand freedom is not free.

I have done my share.

NOW..You have to fight and defend our freedoms as a politician and diplomat must. You are charged with the same responsibilities of defending our constitution as I was, as I am. You have taken the same oath of office that I took as an officer, to defend the constitution. You have to soldier in the capacity of my representative, the representative of a free republic, of a free and democratic America. You must have the resolve to advance into the line of fire in the fight against Socialism and Marxism. I cannot but I would if I could, and I will if necessary. Our country is worth the fight. You, and your family, must be strong enough to endure the sacrifices you must make in your fight. I have used a rifle, pistol, knife to fight for my life and our freedom. You must use the law, diplomacy, coercion, guile, persuasion and the constitution as the weapons in your fight. Fight you must because you and I, and all free Americans, have our freedom and our country to loose.

I fought my fight, it time for you to 'soldier up' and fight your fight for us.

Millions of Americans have given everything they possible could have for this country, even their lives. Many millions more have done nothing except to hold their hands out and ask for more and have given absolutely nothing for their country. And yet these are the ones who are at most risk for loosing their freedoms because they do not know that they are loosing them. As Americans they deserve their freedom, but they do not deserve for this country to be their benefactor. Those of us who have fought for THEM know what we have to loose. We have earned our voice.

You must speak for us.

You must fight for us.

"Animo et Fide".

Respectfully with dignity, respect and honor.

What a POWERFUL letter Doc! I really hope that will wake some of these congressmen up, but I'm sure some will just ignore it. Do you care if I share that on Facebook? It is strong, strong medicine.

Sidecar, I have definitely seen the good kids who were raised in the old fashioned way, and I have also seen the bad as you described. The one thing that I have noticed about both groups is that you never know when they are actually listening to you. Even the bad eggs pick up more good information than anyone would believe. It's just getting them to apply it that is the hard part, and they don't do it consistently. I am lucky to live in a great part of the nation where 99.5% of parents still act like parents, and if the kids are bad they discipline them. Our students are good for the most part, and it give me hope. I'm like Bigbuck. I will put everything into this for my son and daughter. It's not over yet, maybe someday, but not yet.

Does anyone else think it is ironic that 65 years ago you would get thrown into the clink, questioned, and drilled for mentioning socialism or Marxism or communism, but now We are being drilled for have fundamental Constitutional values and American ideals? Amazing how the times change.

I'd be honored Joe, very much. Please feel free to use where and when it will do the most good.

The 'fight' is just beginning, we (gun owners and free Americans) have to remain energized and vigilant as a group to keep pressure on the right. The first 'wave' must be thru the political channels... then we'll have to see how that works and what the next avenue of approach should be.

Not that the right watches it, but my wife is hammering Fox news daily as well as our representatives. All venues are fair game.

Animo et Fide "Courage and Faith"

Doc
 
Tell me, what is a 'free American'. None of us are free. We are all shackled in one way or another. Think you own your home? You don't. Think you own your car? You don't In reality, you own nothing. Lets add firearms with licensing and required permits to extract yet another pound of flesh for the government.

We own the farm, not really. If we don't pay the taxes, we loose it. The cars and trucks, don't pay the insurance, you get no plates and then you pay the registration every year. If you don't you don't drive.

By definition, 'Free American' or Second Amendment/Constitution supporters are- is a definite monority especially when it comes to legislative process.

The people calling the shots in this country are the 49% entitlement, free cheese people that Obama is increasing in percentage everyday. Thats who calls the shots, which is why I say the guns are going away, in the end.

The only thing we are doing by supporting the NRA, letter writing, phoning politicians and everything else, is forestalling the inevitable and for me, thats acceptable. By the time young kids are emancipated, there won't be private ownership of firearms and they won't be missed either. It will be the accepted way of life as will Socialism.

We pay our 'pound of flesh' to lobbying groups like the NRA to prolong the inevitable, thats it. You can bank on that.

I said many posts ago that this is a game of chess with the ultimate move, a checkmate by the government, that checkmate is rendering illegal, any ownership by private citizens of ANY firearm, not just AR's...and the majority will support it.

The majority will support it because they are blinded by the f'ree cheese' entitlement that the current administration (and previous administrations) have put in place. It's called 'stacking the deck in your favor'.

Don't you find it interesting that Obama in 4-1/2 years has never had a budget. He don't care. They just keep printing money... Like I said, follow the money trail.

If you distill it further, the majority dictates what the minority will do, thats how it works.
 
Many of you have faith God is in control and everything will be ok. According to most Bible scholars we are going to go through some very rough times before everything will be OK. I've heard all the dire predictions and always considered these an interesting topic at dinner but never really believed I would see the results.

I have now started to set up and pay attention. I believe the ship has sailed folks and America is in irreversible decline. The dismantling of the Constitution has begun and those efforts are going to accelerate. A few folks are going to become more and more agitated as they watch the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments dismantled. At some point the folks who speak out will be designated as domestic terrorist and will be dealt with using tactics and equipment provided by Homeland Security.

DHS has been distributing armored vehicles to police agencies throughout the country. Reports are that 27,000 of them have been deployed. For the first time there are joint maneuvers involving police and military units. Have you seen the videos of military attack helicopters flying over our cities with automatic weapons firing. For now the ammo is just blanks.

For those of you who think the military and police will not fire on US citizens, I invite you to study the occupation of Europe during WW11. The occupied countries were controlled by local police, these forces turned out to be more vicious than the SS because they tried to impress their puppet masters for a step up the ladder in the new order.

It's coming here folks. Resistance will be satisfying but futile. After the police fall in line and most of your friends and family have been recruited as informants resistance will be squashed. I suspect it will take no more than 3-5 yrs for the New Age to begin.

Augustus gets it.

Knowing that God is in control is not to be confused with anything other that "we're not", in control that is. For those who think that believing in God is for the stupid or weak minded, I think your in for a real treat because we all may well get a front row seat to see who's really pulling the strings. The term "fear not" doesn't mean believers and non-believers won't get caught up in the fray because they will. God's plan is gonna happen with or without our approval and it's going to get real ugly. I'm not talking textbook ugly. I'm talk'in way beyond anything we've seen or read about before or after. It's just that, for those who believe, you have Gods promise that you'll be O.K. after the dust settles, even if you die.

I think a lot of people are going to sit up and take notice if they haven't already. Many of them will figure out real fast what they believe and don't believe but most will turn away from God and put their faith in men. Oh well... it's not like they weren't given a choice. If your on the fence about this, you might want look into it a little closer.
 
Oops, I got carried away with the zeros in the number of armored vehs deployed. The number is 2700 not 27000 as originally posted. In addition to these there are a bunch off armored bunkers being built and stored.

Wake up folks, as I said before it is probably too late to change things politically and overt resistance will not be conducive to long life or good health. Those of you who can should drills wells, learn to grow and store food, make your own wine etc. Oh, the well pump may not have electricity so you will need one of those long skinny buckets that is about 3 ft long and 4 in in diameter that allows one to get water out of a 6 in well casing. Look up the processing of sugar cane to make molasses, you can use this to replace sugar. Grist mills will be needed to grind corn into meal and wheat into flour. Hogs can be salt and sugar cured for storage w/o refrigeration. Get an old Jersey cow for milk, making butter and cheese. Gather up enough cash to pay twice what your property taxes are today for ten yrs. These tips are for country folks, all others who don't have the land, knowledge, or will to take this advice might try squatting down, put your head between your legs. This will not improve your predicament but you will be in a good position to kiss your a--- good-bye.
 
Augustus,
I too beleive things are going to get worse before they improve. That said I think you have watched one to many episodes of Revolution.:rolleyes: By the way the new season starts 3/24/13.:D
 
The guy says on the video that the vehicle is to "deliver a team to high risk warrant services". Those teams won't be defending us from invaders. They're serving warrants. Windows with gun ports. Sounds like these guys know they'll be unpopular where they're going. With on average of 55 vehicles per state, it sounds like they expect to be busy. Of course resistance is futile... 30,000 drones over U.S. soil can't be wrong.

Did you hear the way that DHS guy talked. He can't wait. I think the new slang for Hadji Gear will be Sweater Vest.
 
Might as well change DHS (Department of Homeland Security) to SS and be done with it.

Glad I'm 64 this year. Not much time left and I don't want to be around for the after.....

Keep in mid, the sheeple elected him. The sheeple will get what they deserve...

..........and it won't be more entitlement either.........:D

Next thing to go will be the freedom of speech and of course the Internet, but then I said that at the outset of all this.

We had a couple of the vehicles come in for warranty service btw. Built like Fort Knox, blast shields on the underbelly, blackout lights, armor plate in the doors and the windows don't roll down either. The one thing I liked was the LED headlights at 600 bucks a pop and we paid for all of it. All painted Olive Drab or Desert Storm tan.....

Yes, they have run flat tires too. The drivetrain is designed for dummies. Allison automatic behind an ISX Cummins or Detroit Deisel DDEC (non emissions compliant diesel). Gas and go.... No DEF needed.

Keep in mind, in the government's view, we are all terriorists.....

Sad state of affairs but we all let this happen. Complacency is the downfall of civilization.

It's been real and it's been fun but the real fun is about to begin I suspect.
