The .32 has It’s place.

A considerable number of Nazi Death Camp Internees were executed by a .32 to the back of the head.

The leftees Just LUV Che Sooo much, perhaps we should emulate his tactics.

They must have neutralized several hundred communists before the film was finally over.

If you'll recall, they only represented one cell of the resistance. It's hinted at the end that there were many others. And the war was won. Partly with regular military forces, given time to build up by the militia cells, which tied down the invaders.

Yes, it’s been in the back of my mind, too. When people say “be prepared”, this would be the time for which to be ready.

Dr. Jon Belza is honored today on the front page of this week’s Carmel Pine Cone newspaper about being a brave, freedom fighter in the 1944 Warsaw, Poland uprising against Hitler’s invasion. Many brave citizens escaped through the Warsaw city sewers, but thousands of Polish underground freedom fighters lost their lives. See warsawuprising.com

Dr Belza has been invited to the 65th anniversary by the Polish government & leaves today for Warsaw, Poland in honor of those heroes who bravely fought in the freedom fighter’s underground uprising against Adolph Hitler’s overwhelming army.

CNN did a special about the uprising with Dr. Belza in 2004. Congratulations Dr. Belza !!

The timing of resistance with the use of the guns makes all the difference.

Random shootings would not succeed. Organized and having a plan is the difference.

Simply having desire and patriotism alone will not have much effect will it?

World wide oppression has occurred time and time again.

Millions dying in the fight. Losing usually.

How to stop the run away train called America's government? they are amassing power daily.

This is an excellent quote for today's accelerating domestic totalitarianism.

"If every Jewish and anti-nazi family in Germany had owned a Mauser rifle and twenty rounds of ammunition AND THE WILL TO USE IT (emphasis supplied, MV), Adolf Hitler would be a little-known footnote to the history of the Weimar Republic."

I like the exchange that once supposedly occurred between two men, a German and a Swiss:

“What would you do if your country were invaded by an army twice the size of your forces?”
“Shoot twice and go home.”

"It may safely be received as an axiom in our political system that the state governments will in all possible contingencies afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority."

Sadly, this is not true of the majority of states in the union as they will be denied department of transportation funds and school money if they deny the federal tyrants abusive requests.

Yes, the timing is crucial.

What people need to come to terms with is that at some point, deference to the future is no longer an option. Some people hope they can stop the power grab in the 2010 elections. If that doesn’t work, they hope to change things in 2012. Others hope that eventually a “spark” will come and set things in motion? Well, what if no spark comes? How long will people defer to the future?

I am encouraged by the widespread rise of patriotism in this country. The government seems oblivious to the sign that it represents and instead continues to spend all of our hard work on their pork and bribes. People need to face the reality that things may not change unless we make them change.

It is a military question. It is also a political question. But above all it is a moral question which strikes to the heart of what makes men free, and what makes them slaves.

Note my tagline...which I have no intention of changing anytime soon.

Homosexuals have been in every military since we lived in caves.

Maybe so, but I can assure you that I never knowingly met one, and I served in both the Army and Navy. Strange what we can be led to accept.

They have a great tendency to take advantage of their positions to abuse others. This is far greater than the norm. We’ve seen this in the priesthood, we’ve seen this in teachers

You have clearly demonstrated why, Libertarianism ≠ Conservatism.

I served, and I also taught public high school, believe me I never once knowingly met a Homosexual, but I was mentally abused by plenty of Homosexuals in Public Education. Once in powerful positions they become unbearable.

I graduated from High School in 1956, so that probably explains why I had little concept of Homosexual in the Military.

Kent State. Regardless of your political leanings at the time, regardless of the "why" of it, the basic fact remains that a commanding officer gave the order to "fire!" and his National Guardsmen followed that order.

Go back a little further in History and consider Douglas MacCarthur and the bonus marchers he dispersed, on orders from his President.

David slew Goliath with a slingshot.

David had just a little help, which most here today, seem to reject out of hand.
