A Waco police detective was selected Wednesday to preside over a new McLennan County grand jury that could be the panel that considers the Twin Peaks shootings.

I didn’t have to wait till next week.

See #175.

Supporting the Crips, Bloods, New Black Panthers and MS!

WTF!

[Lazamataz]

You call them Crips, Bloods, NBP’s, and MS.

I call them irregular soldiers.

HUAAAH!

“The bikers shot first.

It was over in seconds as over a hundred bikers scrambled to hide their guns.”
**********************************************************************************************
“The bikers shot first”? I guess you “know” this from an intense and methodical review of the videos that exist of this incident?

“over a hundred bikers scrambled to hide their weapons”? I guess you “know” this also from a review of the videos? It couldn’t possibly be that many of the “recovered” weapons were retrieved from where they were secured in vehicles, etc.

[House Atreides]

Laz, which of those two is “TexasGator”?

[Robert Teesdale]

Don't be obtuse.

MS-13, Crips, et al do have pieces on the board. Doesn't mean I support them. The Islamic State will eventually have them on our board as well and will have to be accounted for.

But you get a gold star for effort. You might practice more. Here's a good primer for you.

[WENDLE]

That will result in an automatic appeal. Its all self defense anyway.

““The bikers shot first”? I guess you “know” this from an intense and methodical review of the videos that exist of this incident?”

Every witness that has spoken to the fact has stated the bikers shot first.

Every witness that has spoken to the fact has stated the police did a responsible job.

Adversity employs great talents; prosperity renders them useless and carries the inept, the corrupted wealthy and the wicked to the top

May they bear in mind that virtue often contains the seeds of tyranny

May they bear in mind that it is neither gold nor even a multitude of arms that sustains a state but its morals

May each of them keep in his house, in a corner of this field, next to his workbench, next to his plow, his gun, his sword, and his bayonet

May they all be soldiers

May they bear in mind that in circumstances where deliberation is possible, the advice of old men is good but that in moments of crisis youth is generally better informed that its elders

I approve of this message.

Charlton Heston's closing remarks at the 2000 NRA annual meeting in Charlotte North Carolina -- "From MY Cold Dead Hands" speech.

Every time our country stands in the path of danger, an instinct seems to summon her finest first -- those who truly understand her.

When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it's always the patriots who first hear the call.

When loss of liberty is looming, as it is now, the siren sounds first in the hearts of freedom's vanguard. The smoke in the air of our Concord bridges and Pearl Harbors is always smelled first by the farmers, who come from their simple homes to find the fire, and fight, because they know that sacred stuff resides in that wooden stock and blued steel -- something that gives the most common man the most uncommon of freedoms.

When ordinary hands can possess such an extraordinary instrument, that symbolizes the full measure of human dignity and liberty. That's why those five words issue an irresistible call to us all, and we muster. So -- so, as, ah, we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed -- and especially for you, Mister Gore: From my cold dead hands!

You need to rewrite this so that it is more impartial and less you-oriented (a good editorialist never mentions his existence, such as “I feel..” or “I noticed...”).

I was being personal. :)

Then you need to submit this to many locations. Web opinion blogs, facebook, and places like that. And you need to make this a stand alone Freeper Editorial.

Do it. Do it now. Contact me for methods of distribution.

You're free to redistribute or link to as you see fit. Personally, my observation would be that any value in thought provocation arising from dissemination, would be vastly increased by bringing more people and participation to Free Republic. Jim has a good living room here and the exponential value of the new connections would I think be of far more benefit.

Do it or YOU BECOME PART OF THE PROBLEM.

One step at a time, but yes. I'm not an insurgent with a rifle - or an insurgent Supporting Criminal Bike Gangs (with a dash of Crips and Bloods in the mix). I'm not even an insurgent. I'm... insurgent. Not an insurgent. Call it insurging if we want to get adverbistic.

We all add value where we are best able.

[Robert Teesdale]

I call them irregular soldiers.

Post of the day. And I don't have to ask if you'd hit that, do I?

[Robert Teesdale]

It is the death of moral conscience that has accelerated this national slide to catastrophe.

[Lazamataz]

You suck. You just added a whole bunch of freakin’ tasks to my list. YOU SUCK.

I am going to rewrite this substantially, and it will be submitted as a jointly-authored editorial. Some places require a short bio, so if you’d rather not, I will mention that fact instead.

You make me sad, I already have two articles to write and several to distribute. I freakin hate working and you piled more on.

"There are some very, very smart and grimly organized men who believe with their entire spirit that freedom is better than slavery; that the Leviathan is truly uncoiled and on the rampage; and that Death is not the worst of evils."

How interesting and timely that you should post that paraphrase in your thoughtful and right-on-point #172!

As my FRName implies, this Texan was "voluntarily exiled" in the liberal State immediately south of New Hampshire for two decades, and I grew to admire NH's ubiquitously-visible motto, "Live Free or Die!".

Serendipitously, two of my granddaughters just returned from a visit to New Hampshire, (and Concord, its capital) and, while there, they learned (and, then, conveyed to me on their return to Texas) the complete quotation from which the NH motto is taken.

Per the NH State law establishing the motto (emphases mine...):

State Motto. The words "Live Free or Die," written by General John Stark, July 31, 1809, shall be the official motto of the state.

It was the 1945 Legislature that gave New Hampshire its official motto and emblem, as World War II approached a successful end.

The motto became "Live Free Or Die," as once voiced by General John Stark, the state’s most distinguished hero of the Revolutionary War, and the world famous Old Man of the Mountain was voted the official state emblem.

The motto was part of a volunteer toast which General Stark sent to his wartime comrades, in which he declined an invitation to head up a 32nd anniversary reunion of the 1777 Battle of Bennington in Vermont, because of poor health. The toast said in full: "Live Free Or Die; Death Is Not The Worst of Evils." The following year, a similar invitation (also declined) said: "The toast, sir, which you sent us in 1809 will continue to vibrate with unceasing pleasure in our ears,

"Live Free Or Die;
Death Is Not The Worst Of Evils."

New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 3:1, 8 Anderson, Leon. History. Manual for the General Court 1981. Moore, Howard Parker. A Life of General John Stark of New Hampshire. Howard Parker Moore author and publisher, c.1949.

That full motto should serve well all those who love our Constitution (whether they be Oathkeepers, Veterans, or, simply Patriotic Americans) and who abhor the reprehensible regime which is currently destroying our beloved Nation.

As for me, as a Texan, my feelings toward my State are expressed in my Tagline, below.

And, wherever in our Nation I go, my personal motto can be expressed with this 1835 Texian flag:

---

Nicely done, Sir!

"Live Free Or Die;
Death Is Not The Worst Of Evils."
