Actually, I always thought I was defending the country FOR everyone, even those who don't deserve it. People like Hanoi Jane, or Rosie O'Donnell. I like to think that when I had to carry an M-16, I was expert in its use so that somebody else might not have to be. I think somebody who fights ONLY for themselves or their own family and nobody else is a pretty selfish character and ought not to be in the military, perhaps. It is a team effort after all. That attitude is not one that promotes a team spirit.

I think you're splitting hairs...you implied that all adulterers are also traitors; simply because they break one oath, they'll break them all. I disagree. I have taught psychology for about six years and I understand something I don't think you ever will: People are molded by their environment and circumstance. You have no right to judge anybody's actions so long as they are not directly harmful to you or the nation.

Say you drive on an isolated country road all the time. The speed limit is 35 but you do 55 or 60 because you know its safe and if you get into an accident, it'll probably be just YOUR neck busted. Does that mean if given the chance to commit murder and get away with it, you'll do the deed? Of course not! You, my friend, are very one dimensional and shallow. You exemplify what the democrats are always accusing us of: being narrow minded, exclusive and divisive.

I love that I teach in an inner city school and that I have been named a social studies Teacher of the Year there. I have learned something that seems to elude you: I have learned to be tolerant of other people.

"When a man gives his word I expect him to live by it."

See...I think that when a man gives his word to the country such as when I swore "to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic" I expect that to be obeyed to the letter because it applies to everybody. The security of the nation depends on it. But, I'll bet that you'd have been one of the first people to yell "BURN HER," if you had lived during the Salem Witch Trials. I'll also bet that if it were in your power to put a "Scarlet Letter" on each and every member of society guilty of fooling around...you'd be right up there clamoring for that to happen! See...I put that attitude near the top of the definition for "domestic enemies" that I'm supposed to defend the Constitution against. I guess I'm pretty Libertarian in my views.

"We are talking act of or conspiring to commit acts of war against the USA."

You know what? I'll agree to this argument of yours. I think I misunderstood you in the first place and I'm man enough to say that. I admit it when I think I'm in the wrong.

"Guess they don't have to ask do they. I don't understand you Florida statement but I'm sure it a wonderful city."

Well, I have never been refused medical treatment and I have never had any of them pull out their liberal claptrap arguments in an inane attempt to change my mind. In fact, I have managed to change the mindset of quite a few of the formerly antigun crowd once I have a chance to reason with them which ultimately leads to a class and a trip to the range.

Miami is no longer the place in which I was raised. I feel compelled to carry a gun here and I didn't use to feel that way. Having had to draw against a hostile target three times in the last ten years has soured my image of this city. Thank God I never had to fire...although I absolutely would have and that certainty was communicated in my stance so the opposition also knew and fled the scene. This is not counting actions taken in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew which absolutely brought out the dregs of mans inner nastiness. That horror ably demonstarted the trueism that "FREE men aren't EQUAL...and EQUAL men aren't FREE." It also demonstrated the absolute necessity for free men to own and carry guns where the law is essentially not equal to the task which statement applies everywhere in this country but especially during time of extreme calamity such as wartime and in the aftermath of a disaster (either natural or man made).

You know Capt. I've been reading what a superman you are with a gun on all your post made to me on this thread. Let me tell you that I am not impressed with an army expert badge with a M16. If you never fired on your army level or higher rifle team your not in my class. I fired infantry trophy for 3Rd and All Army. As far as your bragging about your CCW activity I have a lifetime CCW license from California (per sec 12027A PC) which is good here in Idaho where I now live. I am also EN-LIFE NRA.

And for a LEG O-3 to tell me about team work is laughable.

"I think you're splitting hairs...you implied that all adulterers are also traitors; simply because they break one oath, they'll break them all. "

You sir are a liar. A man that will cheat on his family will cheat on anyone. That is John McCain

Again : "If you sell out your family you’ll sell out your country."

Me thinks you protest to hard Brutus.

"See...I think that when a man gives his word to the country such as when I swore "to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic" I expect that to be obeyed to the letter because it applies to everybody. "

So a man should only be held to his word when some LEG officer deems it is in the interest of the country? At one time million dollar deals were seal in this country with a hand shake and now we come to this where a mans word is a joke.

PS I've been in three shooting on the streets of San Jose Calif. one of them fatal so stop trying to dazzle me you're not.
