Trust me, this guy just sounds like one of more of those loud mouthed, east-coast druggie-yuppie laaw-ya-libertarians, whose total understanding of the military comes from Gomer Pyle reruns.

National Sovereignty means nothing to him ... The State Is Our God.

What, no snappy reply to my post 72? You gonna want to know about my service record? Fine, Commander, USNR. Born and raised in Illinois. DMG, University of Illinois Navy ROTC. Nine years active duty in DD's, DDG's and FFG's with the Atlantic Fleet. Recalled to fight the Battle of the Pentagon during Desert Storm. And if I ever had an insubordinate SOB like Mike New under my command I'd kick is ass from here to next Christmas and then I'd toss what was left of it into the brig.

...loud mouthed, east-coast druggie-yuppie laaw-ya-libertarian...

Ouch. Ya cut me to the quick on that one. Although not a loud-muothed east-coast druggie-laaw-ya, I'm guilty of being a loud-mouthed southern Ozark cow-raisin' telecom tech (quasi-)libertarian. Quasi because I split the ticket and vote Constitution Party and LP. I only vote republicratic when there is no other choice. I've never voted for a democan in my life.

However, THIS libertarian understands the miltary completely and does not fall for the peacenik claptrap of the Harry Browns and Justin Raimondo's (sp?) of the LP. There are quite a few hawk LP members. I know because I've spoken with many. Of course, most are either prior service like myself, or have family members who served.

Unfortunately, there are too many libertarian-liberal pundits (for lack of a better word) speaking for the party and not enough libertarian-conservatives speaking.

Politics aside, nice to meet cha brother!

RLTW!
