    I am not tech savvy enough to do this, but I give this idea freely to anyone who thinks this might be a useful and informative ad for youtube or elsewhere.

  • Asymmetric Warfare --- the Real Difference Between the Left and the Right

    "Warfare that is between opposing forces which differ greatly in military power and that typically involves the use of unconventional weapons and tactics." As they say, "Politics is War" --- without literal bloodshed, usually. So, here we are again in another important political campaign, aghast that the Democrats are twisting, spinning, and lying about just about everything, and their willing accomplices in the media are faithfully repeating those lies ad nauseum until they become accepted as some kind of common knowledge "truth". We conservatives continue to insist that anyone we trust, support, and will vote for must always, every time,...
  • An Open Letter to Reince Priebus

    17 June 2016 | LTC.Ret
    Let me start by saying that everyone has the right to vote their conscience in the privacy of the ballot box. That said: Reince Priebus, you are the Chairman of the REPUBLICAN Party. The Republican Party is US --- the grassroots and foot soldiers who vote our choices for the Candidates WE want to represent US. Paul Ryan is only ONE vote, the same as we each are. Mitt Romney is only ONE, vote, the same as we each are. We do not and should not have a "weighted" ballot box run by self-important fools who only call themselves Republican....
  • Geraldo is FOR guns as of this morning

    At about 9AM this morning, Geraldo had an epiphany. If you search Geraldo and guns on Youtube, you will see that he is on record for more gun control and fewer guns --- until now!!! This morning, he actually said that every venue where Americans are gathered needs one or more people with guns to protect those who are there from the terrorists. He has finally realized that the only way to stop a bad man with a gun from causing a horrific tragedy is by having a good man or two with a gun to kill the bad man....

    My email | 22 July 2015 | LTC.Ret
    I got a reply from Trump’s Veteran’s email today -— I know it is most likely a blanket response at this time, but it IS an actual response: “Thank you for sharing your story. It is an embarrassment for America when our men and women who serve have to struggle to get the care they earned and deserve. Mr. Trump is determined to fix the problems veterans face and your experience will be a part of the reform. Please know that fixing these problems is job one. Thank you for your service. Take care”
  • Personal --- Odd FaceBook Contact

    As we come to the end of another three day holiday weekend, let us pause to remember those that we honor on this Memorial Day. As General MacArthur said, “The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” Many of us assembled here hold to the memories of our comrades in arms who never came home. Mine is LTC Danny Holland. He was my colleague and unit commander, who gave his life while serving in Iraq when his convoy hit a roadside IED. Today,...

    “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” Luke 14:28 I didn’t just wake up one day and say to myself, “I think I will run for Congress.” It wasn’t like that at all. I have wanted to be a Veterinarian all my life. I set my goals and made one step in that direction every day. No matter the hurdles, I was determined to succeed. I tended and nurtured my dream into a goal, my goal into a practice, and my practice into...

    We must be forever vigilant in protecting and defending our Country — because one mistake, one terrorist attack that we don’t prevent, can cost untold lives and suffering. That said, we must also do the smart and Constitutional thing, and not just everything we can think of, and get away with, with terrorism as the excuse. With that in mind, lets look at this from a medical perspective: Let’s say you’re healthy overall but you develop a cough, it’s lasted for a month, and it seems to be getting worse. It might just be allergies, or bronchitis, or pneumonia, or...
  • MARK LEVIN --- I have an idea!!!

    03/06/2013 4:03:24 PM PST · by LTC.Ret · 23 replies
    Rumor has it that Mark Levin frequents this venue occasionally, and I have a message for him: I was asking political questions of some Hispanic workers the other day, and showed them how their answers proved that they were really Republicans --- they were quite surprised, but understood the differences after our conversation. Later that evening, I thought about how effective it wuld be to have Ameritopia in both book and CD formats IN SPANISH to give to them to share with their friends and relatives. Would you at all consider offering Ameritopia in a Spanish version for outreach??? I...

    This was not originally my idea --- it was something FRiend "struggle" suggested I do. It was a GREAT idea!!! I called Gov. Perry’s Office as well as his campaign office. I suggested that Gov. Perry publicly challenge the governors of Colorado, Ohio, Florida, etc., to investigate and clean up their voter fraud because Texas citizens are tired of bearing the consequences of malfeasance in other states. There seemed to be some interest in the idea, and I was asked to send any documentation that I thought might be helpful. I sent the following: http://colorado.mediatrackers.org/2012/09/04/colorado-counties-have-more-voters-than-people/ http://www.punditpress.com/2012/11/what-luck-obama-won-dozens-of-cleveland.html http://www.punditpress.com/2012/11/good-news-obama-won-county-in-ohio-with.html http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com/2012/11/fun-fact-obama-lost-in-every-state-with.html http://www.humanevents.com/2012/09/17/vote-fraud-alert-one-out-of-five-registered-ohio-voters-is-bogus/#.UJsjsmjNq5x.twitter http://www.duffelblog.com/2012/11/military-absentee-ballots-delivered-one-day-late-would-have-swung-election-for-romney/#ixzz2BkNjhn8p...
  • DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL RACISTS

    10/01/2012 6:47:17 PM PDT · by LTC.Ret · 8 replies
    While liberal journalists are quick to accuse Republicans of racism for any criticism of Obama's failed economic and foreign policies, they are mute in the face of real racism exhibited by Democrats against black Republicans. Obama has gutted welfare reform, stolen over $700 billion from Medicare to fund ObamaCare and is refusing to reform the nearly bankrupt social security system. To add insult to injury, Obama is also putting our freedom at risk and jeopardizing our national security with his failed foreign policy. The question facing Americans this election is whether our nation will remain free and prosperous as it...
  • VANITY: A tale of MANY 47%'s --- and some missing minutes out of the Romney Fundraiser tape.

    20 Sept 2012 | Myself
    Full disclosure: I was NOT at the Fundraiser, did not personally hear what Romney said, and I do NOT have an audio or video of the complete meeting. Plus, Romney was NOT my first pick for president --- but I will be voting for Romney for President, and especially for Ryan for Vice President. One of the things most people noticed when they heard the video was the less-than-artful editing in at least one place --- but is that the only place, or were other areas more easily spliced? It seems NO ONE has a copy of the complete, unedited...

    The overwhelming majority of the estimated 750 Texas A&M college students, all wearing maroon tee shirts, neither knew nor had ever even heard of Ltc. Roy Lin Tisdale when they reverently gathered outside the perimeter of Central Baptist Church in College Station on Thursday. Last Thursday, after word came that the infamous Westboro Baptist Church would come from Kansas to scurrilously picket Lt. Col Tisdale’s funeral, it was as if the old Corps of Cadets’ Reveille bugler himself had sounded the call. About two hours before the funeral services were to begin, the kids wearing their school’s colors started showing...

    Peggy Harris of Vernon, Tex. never got a knock at the door, never got a telegram, never got anything definitive explaining what happened to her husband Billie during World War II. And so, in the absence of answers, she has remained dutiful to this day. . . . Wrote repeatedly, in fact, asking for any information about the fate of her husband. The last letter, in 2005, was directed to Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas, who also happens to be vice-chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. . . . Note: After this story aired, Rep. Thornberry's office issued an...
