"We're looking for supporters," said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event's organizers. "We're not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army."

Quite a few but I think the reality of 0bama and his plans are going to get a fair number of people fired up.

I try to avoid anything that involves throwing up - spent too much time in my younger days drinking to excess, if you know what I mean...

We will thrive, not just survive.

The pootus is waking up almost half of his base.

The rest of us were never asleep.

I’m out of here for tonight

The obambi volunteers better remember there won’t be a Club Gitmo and there won’t be any waterboarding. There won’t be any outsourcing of “interrogation”.

I hope they understand what that means.

They're getting pretty brazen so early in the game.

I’m sure they will rely upon the U.N. to come to their rescue...

It won’t work.....

Our Gunny had the correct perspective on unsolicited prisoners.. He would tell EVERYONE - that if he or the CO wanted a prisoner - they would describe him/her in great detail - perhaps even giving us their name and address!

He also made it clear that if an unsolicited prisoner was brought to him - that the captor would have to see to the care, feeding and guarding — since the Gunny would provide NONE of that to the enemy....

He said he didn’t come to Vietnam to get involved in the care of feeding of the enemy....... If that were the mission - the U.S. would have sent the Red Cross....

I think he was very intelligent for an “uneducated” farm boy..

Classic “overreach.”

YOur gunny was hard corps.

... there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance."

He also directly contradicted that.

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

OK, I am not afraid of belligerent gangbangers. They are cowards who can only do drive-bys and can’t shoot worth a damn.

If they want to fight all I’ve got to say is “bring it!”
