There are things which make you just upset, like the liberal progressive left and media accomplices’ rage over the shooting of a lion in Africa but abject disregard and disdain reference Planned Parenthood dismembering babies and selling their body parts.

But this story has me dog fighting mad and seriously pissed off.

As reported ten days ago by Western Journalism, “A Navy officer and Marine reportedly returned fire at the shooter who killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., even though current policy does not permit military members to carry firearms on facilities such as those where the attack occurred.

The cold-blooded assault killed four Marines and one active-duty Navy reservist. The center’s commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, used his personal firearm to engage the shooter during the attack, according to sources quoted in the Navy Times. A report from The Washington Post said that one of the Marines killed in the shooting might have been carrying a 9 mm Glock and possibly returned fire on the shooter.

A cogent analysis, Colonel - Lcdr. White, in the Navy in which I served over four decades ago, would be in line for a medal. In the bizarre regime we now find ourselves, he may well face career-ending discipline, although, as you say, he has a better chance under the UCMJ than most think.

Your point number six is well taken - you and gentlemen like you will come forth - some "armed" in the common sense of the word, more armed with no weapons but their speech, their pens and their wits.

You, they and I will not go quietly.

Sorry to be so negative but I believe if Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz stood side by side and called for an open rebellion there’d be no more than a few hundred people show up. The tyrants haven’t gotten mean enough yet.
