19 Kids and Counting

    Now and then I come upon a subject that even I find hard to approach. Two words; Duggar Family! Like everyone else I scanned across the news items about the molestation that allegedly occurred years ago. Y'all like that word, "allegedly?" I'm getting sophisticated and I use words like that. Like I've been "allegedly" married six times. Anyway, back in the day it seems the older brother, Josh, went and touched SOMEbody's poody  poo. In fact, I understand he touched FIVE poody poos on selected occasions. 

    I NEVER watched 19 Kids and Counting for a number of reasons. First off, it's a reality show. People, reality shows are NOT reality, ok? They are scripted, choreographed television productions with millions of dollars poured in to give the illusion of reality, and if you believe they are spontaneous real situations have I got a duck call for YOU! Also, THIS reality show was dumb. Yeah, I just said that. Common sense tells me when all the women crowd around a TV set to watch anything men should NOT get involved. I know little to nothing about the through lines of the show, but I suspect it revolved around a house full of kids somewhere in Arkansas, and frankly I had to Google that before penning this article. 

    Anyway, this Josh fellow touched his sisters and three other girls around about the time he was fourteen or so. Let's see, Arkansas, fourteen year old boy, house full of girls . . . Wow! Never saw THAT coming. So I suppose it all came out over the supper table and the dad, "Jim Bob" and wifee dragged the little prick down to the Baptist church to be rebaptized. Must've worked because he apparently restrained his sex life to a dirty magazine and a paper towel after that, eventually getting married (I guess)'to some chick who was as whacked out as he was, and they commenced working on THEIR 19 and counting.

    Now that I've beat up this white trash I'd like to point out that they are not good examples of southern white trashery. Jim Bob (couldn't he have found a better name?) was a real estate broker, a state representative and I know NOTHING about his significant other, but I just imagine she was made from the same plastic that every other woman around the country is who hooks up with a guy like that. Also, you don't negotiate yourself into a contract with a major production company in Hollywood at a tractor pull! They were just like Bill and Hillary. Well, maybe not that trashy. 

    The show centered around serving dinner, walking down the street, and talking about their faith, and I'm quite sure when Josh fell all over his sister that night he was rummaging through her room trying to find his misplaced Bible. You must ask yourself, if the incident was so far back, and the kid was a juvenile, what's the problem?  Well, there are several, actually. Please remember we are in a politically correct, liberal society. First, regardless of the incestuous nature of the liaison, it WAS between a boy and a girl. VERY politically incorrect. Josh should have slipped into sissy's room to borrow a blouse for an upcoming date. Next, there were so MANY kids and not one decent abortion in the house. I'm frankly surprised that CPS and Planned Parenthood didn't file a class action law suit. Can you just imagine? A woman with no other talent in the world other than making babies. What happened to her potential? And finally, they were Christian! Shut the FRONT door! This event would have been so much easier to solve, had they been Muslim. Just drag those two little fluzzies out in the Arkansas woods and bash their brains out with a brick. Teach THEM to sleep in their beds with panties and a t-shirt!  

    The Duggars FIXED the problem. Billy Joe Jim Bob took his son to the preacher. He didn't condone the action, and he most certainly didn't act like Sons of Guns Will Hayden, who introduced his twelve year old daughter to his own version of a "smoking gun," he took the kid, got him some help, and frankly, the boy came through it. Liberals hate that, especially when Jesus gets all involved and they have to look at that "first stone" stuff. But these same well rounded people will tell their kids that Bruce Gender is a "hero." No one went to jail. Little girls still love their brother. CPS, APS, DPS, and ASPCA didn't get involved, denying some REAL pedophile access to those two little ladies, family remained intact, and it didn't cost you a cent! Talk about a win-win. I'm an old Texas reptile-bait, and even I like it! I'd probably watch the show now 'cept for one little problem. TLC pulled it!

    That's right! When a little too much reality came into their "reality" show, TLC did what all communist, gay, Muslim loving, main stream, politically correct lie factories do, they turned tail and ran! They had a chance to address an issue of importance, with some apparently real people, and they dropped the ball worse than Tony Dorset on a Sunday afternoon. And the story is good! The solution is real, and it worked, it just didn't fit into the Obamanation. 

    The Duggars had a message for us all, but we’ll never see it because it is  Christian, heterosexual, American family. As a family they addressed an issue, which, I might add, did not fester for years, the kid was ashamed, but not MADE ashamed for being a human being, and the family healed. People like the Duggars are special, and they're not a dying breed, I mean, my GOD! They have 19 kids at a time. Sorry for Party Rocking!

The Kingdom of God

 

People will subscribe to just about anything that feeds their fears and ego. Let's look at this. Take notes, there will be a quiz when you die. Mohammed went to a cave, and an angel appeared to him. We all know the story. Slapped him around a bit and then placed the "Holy" Qu'ran in his head, whereupon he rode around the desert for a number of years releasing this invaluable information to the masses, where eventually it was all codified into a book and the best seller list was born! 

    Do you believe that? C'mon, put the goat's milk down, do you REALLY believe that? First off, if the angel really placed the Qu'ran into his mind, why didn't Mohammed just spout it all out , and not as various life events demanded the Suras along the way? And why all the borrowed bits and pieces from the Torah, New Testament, and just plain ol' GOSSIP. If there had been copyright laws back then we wouldn't be worried about Islam now. Every time some guy comes up with a "holy" book the adherents always claim it to be "the most perfect book ever!" That, and, "How could this man of such humble origins, with little or no education produce such a detailed work?" 

    I'm a writer. I've written books. When you write you edit. As you edit patterns appear. As you clear out the inconsistencies the patterns become clearer. If the patterns are clear enough you sell books. It doesn't matter is the patterns are true, or even make sense, so long as you can connect the dots, and close the circle. Mohammed didn't have an iPad, but he sure had an iMOUTH! If a pattern got wrecked, no problem, 'ol Allah would clear that up in the sequel. Tell everybody three teenage hotties were goddesses, and the whole congregation says, "WTF?"well, the DEVIL made him say it! Good gig, made some money, got laid, let's move on. 

    Fourteen year old boy ventures into the woods, "looking for God." And he FOUND him! Another angel appears, and before it's all done the Father, the Son, and the Hoooooooly Ghost make an appearance COMPLETE with golden tablets, yet ANOTHER “most perfect” book, and more pretty girls than the locker room of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Of course, he was too ignorant to compose a grocery list. Made some money. . .  If you try to tell a Mormon that there is even a remote possibility that Joseph Smith concocted this stuff up they will lose their MIND and start trying to connect dots that you will never see, but THEY do! 

    Adam and Eve were frolicking among the heather, buck naked of course, and soon found something a bit more interesting to do than fishing to fill their time. From this we get Cain and Abel. Now, with all respect to gay rights, if you're starting a human race, and you have two sons . . . well, you get my drift. There could have been unmentioned sisters, but the Garden of Eden was not in Arkansas so we won't go there. Anyway, as luck would have it Cain knocks Abel in the head and gets sent to the land of Nod where he "knew" his wife. Hope he had a banana for her because according to the script he’d just left the only two humans back in the garden. 

    Jesus was good as explaining. I want you to note, he did NOT say the Good Samaritan was a real guy. Neither were the ten virgins, or the hard master, or anyone else He spoke about because Jesus knew he was constructing examples. While the Jews were expecting God Almighty to put Israel in charge of the world Jesus patiently tried to explain to them that this "Kingdom" was "within" them. Well, stupid is, as stupid does and if Jesus ever DOES come back they'll just nail Him up again! Now, I did NOT imply Jesus was stupid so no burning crosses on my lawn, ok? What is profound is Jesus never had a dog in this hunt. He appeared, put forth His ideas, and left. He didn't write, make money, conquer nations, or find golden tablets. 

    Religion is man's feeble attempt to explain the unexplainable. The ultimate game of Dots. All religions try to make the complete circle and get bonus points. The reasoning behind religion is morality. Everyone wants to have food, a house, a bed, and a pretty wife they can sleep with and still get up in the morning without Attila burning up the Olive grove. Attila wants to burn that Olive grove without worrying about one of his men running off with his fourteen year old girlfriend while he's away. This is called "morality" and it is subjective. One man's meat is another man's booty. The stolen watermelon is the sweetest. Each tribe's "morality" is different from every other tribe's. 

    The dominant morality is always expounded by the winners. The Indians slaughtered the settlers, but the American dream "civilized" the Indians. God and the Bible said slavery was cool, but Lincoln didn't see it that way, and he WON! Roof killed nine in a church and waved a Confederate flag, Janet Reno killed eighty eight in a church and waved an AMERICAN flag. OMG, swat them bees! Now we have four dead Marines because "God" told the guy to do it and greater minds than mine are pondering if Islam has anything to do with it. And the Westboro Baptist Church will show up and chant hate slogans at the grieving relatives as they say, "Goodbye" to their loved ones. I'm a simple ol' boy from Austin, not a STUPID ol' boy from Austin! 

    The “Cackle Babble”  heads in the box are trying to decide if that attack was an ISIS branded terrorist attack, as opposed to the domestic variety. Sort of like beer, I guess. And it's a very big deal! I suppose those guys would be a little less dead if Mohammed whomEVER was from Albuquerque as opposed to say, Mecca. ISIS jumped up of course and took credit. ISIS is like that guy in a bar, when a fight breaks out, who hides under the pool table, and when it's all over he comes crawling out saying, "I did that!" And, there again is your "morality." Muslims are somewhere dancing in the streets, waving "Qu'rans, while the families of the dead are crying in the funeral home clinging to their Bibles as the Westboro Baptist Church paints signs, and makes flight arrangements. 

    So, what is "the truth?" The Kingdom of God, if there is such a thing, is within you! If it guides you to a peaceful grave then it's all good, but if you feel like guiding someone ELSE to THEIR grave you got issues! I hate to be the first one to tell you this but we're all different and the understanding of what each of us burn in our crazy mind is incomprehensible to the man sitting right next to you. What do I really believe? I'm not saying. I could not articulate, but it has something to do with a beer, a weed eater, and a live chicken. Wanna know how much influence you have? Try ordering someone ELSE'S dog around!

The Doors

 

It is said when one door closes another opens. Sometimes you don’t hear the creak, you just look up one day, and notice the door is open. Then you realize that all on the former side of the door is really gone forever, and you didn’t have time to say, “Goodbye.” The door closes and is locked forever.  I lost a meat smoker a while ago and as I sat, and stared at the spot where it used to be I began to remember all the people who had sat around it in years past who are gone. It was as if the smoker had gone to join them.  The closed door is like that smoker.

                No matter how hard you fight it, things change, and if you don’t, then it’s time for you to be gone. You grow, or you die. It’s as simple as that, and it’s not a sad thing. Love hurts. Separation is harder to accept than death. Death is final. You accept it. As you stare down at the mannequin that was once your loved one you experience something we like to call, “closure,” but it’s only the acceptance of finality. With separation there is an illusion. You hold onto the smoke, but the smoker is gone. As years pass, and layer upon layer of new experiences are put upon memories you don’t smell the smoke as often, and little things begin to fade, as the soul fights to heal, and let go. You go back to familiar places, and at first you can almost reach out and touch, but then, one day, you wonder, “Touch what?” You are grasping for the smoke. Sometimes you know what love is, but there are other times when you don’t realize it had even been involved until the loved one is gone, then, suddenly, much later you find that you were thinking about them every day, then every other day, then once a week, month, and then not at all. That’s when you look behind you and understand the door is really closed, and the smoke is gone.  

                There are those who stand and wait for the door to open again, and never see the other door ahead, the new door that leads into a room they’d never before imagined. If you embrace this room you will live. If you stand and wait for the closed door to reopen, you will die. Oh, not all at once, just a little at a time. You begin to lose your humanity as you cling to fading memories that no one understands except you. And you are the only one who feels the pain. That pain will consume you. There are some things you should not overcome, should not live past, but there is so much more that you can live for. With each day, as the smoke fades, the air becomes clearer, and it’s not a bad thing to take a deep breath and go through the open door.

                The smell of the smoke will never completely be gone, but it can be overcome or at least neutralized by the expectation of new things. Then, one day you’ll hear the door shut, and a new one will not open, and you’ll realize that you are the smoke for someone else, and there are no new doors for you, only people on the other side making the decision to walk away, or wait for the old door to reopen. If you left wisdom, hopefully they will find the words you gave them, and they will turn and walk away.

                The night was late. There were few people there. The piano bar was about to close and only the loneliest were left, staring at the last call. The young lady sat down at the piano. Gently she began to play a simple tune. Nothing special, just a simple four/four time with a melody perhaps borrowed. Then, ever so softly she began to sing. As the words permeated the air the patrons sat up. She was a young girl, but the mileage in the lyrics was profound. Heretofore she was just the cute little girl who ate nachos at the bar, but her words would leave a taste in their mouths the gin would not hide.  The memories filled her eyes and she sang:

Things that folks are made of

Like faith, and hope, and sometimes love

Things that make us act the way we do

I’ve got a theory in my head

It’ll be there until I’m dead

And, I’d like to pass my theory onto you

 

Life’s a circle we all know

There ain’t no new way to go

If you stay home you’ll probably be just fine

Broken dreams and empty chairs

We all face the fire down there

I hope yours burns cooler than mine.

 

I go there now and then, but the man said the music doesn’t play there anymore. That door closed a long time ago.

The Garden

     With all the border talk, I'd like to suggest some things that are going to rub a lot of my fellow patriots the wrong way, but hear me out. Let's admit something. Mexico isn't going away. Also, we don't need refugees (like that word?) coming over the fence trying to escape a terrible situation. Admit it, Mexico is the pits! There's no reason for it. This place isn't that far away, folks. It's right next door! Now, I'm gonna get racial here. Columbus sailed from Spain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the Vikings came here, the Mormons came here, the aliens came here, but Columbus was the first one who came here with a return ticket. Then the English got in on the act, and by the time Sir Walter Raleigh offered Elizabeth a cigarette it was ON! 

     Europeans dominated the exploration of the north American continent. It weren't Chinese sailing up the Mississippi, it was SPANIARDS! From Toronto to Mexico City the land was dotted with Europeans. We get all bent out of shape about Hispanic and white, but we're all European. While the English struggled toward the Ohio river the Spaniards blazed across the west, gobbling up everything from Texas to California. What was to become Mexico was not an ignorant, backward country. Ever wonder why Andrew Jackson didn't rip across the Sabine River to assist Sam Houston? It wasn't because he was a diplomat, versed in international law, it was because it wasn't written in stone who'd come out on top of that deal.   Santa Anna was drinking coffee from fine china as he watched the smoke rise from the Alamo. 

     So what happened? What happened to Mexico is what is happening to America right now! The Republic of Mexico had a fine government, with a fair to midland constitution, right up until Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna put it through a paper shredder, and decided to do things HIS way, and friends and neighbors, it ain't been right since! Over the following century a beautiful country with the same resources as the US, people of similar decent, and more gold than King Tut was reduced to a bunch of starving gardeners, and that's exactly where your precious, politically correct president is leading you Into right NOW! 

     We can't welcome illegals with open arms, but we can help so they don't WANT to be illegals. What rational human being, if he is well fed, has protection of law, and a job wants to leave his home and family and take off somewhere far away where he has no money, no contacts, and can't even speak the language? Do the math! I know, I know, we can't take them to raise. We took Iraq to raise, now DIDN'T we? We poured trillions into a place full of people who wouldn't spit on our graves if they even bothered to bury us in the first place! Those weren't Mexican Catholics standing on the steps of the Capitol in Austin shouting, "Allah Akbar," those were dyed in wool MUSLIMS who want to kill every grandchild you ever had so Islam can come and STEAL everything we EUROPEANS have built! They want to take the Lampasas Prom Queen, put her in a Burqa, drag her to the football stadium, and beat her brains out with a rock, make no mistake about it! 

     I don't know how to solve this. I just know we have to. While we can't pull the fence down along the border we must make it so that fence isn't necessary. The Mexicans are suspicious of us with good reason. Paco can't casually drive across the border to shop at Walmart in Laredo, but Hilda in Canada can! America is a Christian nation. Well, so is Mexico! VERY Christian! I was married there! As Professor Balazar pronounced me and Brenda man and wife every single person in that little village who came in  from the fields to attend the fiesta  crossed themselves and hugged both of us. That's right, I really did that. Told you to bring a dump truck, didn't I? 

     As long as you have a third world country butted up against a super power you will ALWAYS have a border problem. The Nortés don't understand Tex-Mex culture, but we HAVE to, we LIVE here, and war with Mexico is NOT an option. Mexico is struggling to increase oil production to 500,000 barrels a day bringing in 52.5 BILLION dollars. You didnt know that, did you? While those hook nose Arabs tool around in Lear Jets Fernando cant buy a new truck! Why is Mexico so poor? It's poor because venture capitalism has been squashed by the controlling interests on BOTH sides of the border. Why aren't Texas interests down there helping the Mexican people  get that gasoline north of the border. Because we're too busy worrying about some dope pusher who rode a HARLEY out of their "most secure" prison. There is no REASON Mexico cannot take its place beside the US, and Canada and stand with us against the Islamic tide bent on taking it all down. There's no reason Maria Sanchez cannot hop a bus, and  go shopping at Macy's withOUT having to jump a fence and prostitute herself! 

     Years ago I wrote a book called, "Sharon." In it was a very profound line. It had to do with introspection. The book was about a young preacher trying to apply meaning to his life. He met a girl who led him down a path to self examination. The line was simple. She told him, "The garden was always there. You would have seen it, had you'd only looked. There's a garden on the other side of that fence. We need to show our neighbors how to water it. 

Wetback!

     With political correctness, gender confusion, race mix-match and other factors, definitions and social acceptance have become important so we're a gonna have a class on social structure and linguistics, and since I'm a Texan liberals please take a break. What I'm about to say will not interest you. Take your grandson shopping for a dress at Macy's.  

     When I first heard the term, "Illegal Aliens" I immediately thought of Roswell. Hey, I'm not kidding. I conjured up mental images of big-headed creatures with spindly arms and legs, and LOTS of tin foil in the desert. Later, when someone said, "Undocumented workers" I naturally thought that was like a construction worker taking cash so he could avoid income tax. Slowly the truth became plain. These were new, more user friendly terms for a critter Texas has had for years. WETBACKS! 

     Boy, that hurts your ears, don't it libtards? Swat them bees, swat them bees! Until Donald Trump addressed the issue I did not know wetbacks were a political force in America. Silly me. In a country where a man can get on the cover of a magazine as a super model what do you expect? Wetbacks are out in force. Time was, if liberals wanted to show how fair and inclusive they were they'd invite a black guy to a party . . . one, just one, of course, so they could all sit around and discuss watermelons, and brag about how in inclusive they really were. Well, the new guy on the woodpile is a wetback! 

     And there are so many of them we have to have sanctuary cities. You know, like San Francisco. I thought that place was reserved for the gays, oh, my mistake, they lost that crown to Austin. I digress. Wetbackery is IN! I'm just waiting on Obama to take up the cause of the guy who killed that girl on the pier out in Frisco with something like, "If I had a son, he'd look like him." Obama is sympathetic to wetbacks because his back was just dried off in 2008! And wetbacks climbed immediately to the top of the tower of psycho-babble where even MENTIONING them is a social blunder. 

     Since Macy's has dumped Trump, you should expect to see new products soon. Plain brown pants and shirts, patent leather shoes, and of course, Vitalis is BACK! Then Miley Cyrus will pull out her two front teeth, dye her hair jet black and trade twerking for salsa. Black folk, you just better take a number, your day has come and gone. Pull down the statue of General Lee and replace it with Pancho Villa! Buy all the Chevrolet stock you can find, and teach your kids SPANISH! Wetback is the new black!

     Everything wetback is somehow MORE. Remember the Godfather? Now c'mon, admit it, those guys were really cool, weren't they? "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." Now get this; "I ain't even gonna lie to choo!" The term, "Mafia" almost became cuddly, but MEXICAN Mafia? Now THAT even makes the fat boys step back. America has embraced wetbackism. Now I don't know the translation, but Americans of Mexican decent are looking at all these gringos jumping on this and thinking, "WTF?" They KNOW wetbackery! 

     Hey, I'm not kidding. Think I am? Remember. when we had to come up with that immortal phrase, "The 'N' Word?" Then, all the sudden you couldn't go one day without hearing, "Nigga" come out of someone's mouth. Shucks, white chick up in Washington State even turned into a nigga. I'll bet if she examines her family roots she'll find a wetback in there somewhere. Of course she'll have to find a low cut dress, and straighten that hair out a bit. 

     Styles and modes come and go, and liberal culture stands at the ready to fall into quick step behind every fad that comes rolling out. This has opened a whole new list of options for me, personally. I've never been married to a Mexican girl, which is astounding because they are some of the most beautiful women in the world. You wouldn't know it because Univision won't run the Miss Universe contest, but they're pretty hot. Anyway, I'm gonna find me a little señorita and get remarried. Gotta buy a bigger house, though, cause she'll have "family!"

The Right of the PEOPLE

 

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  There are rights, and there are regulations of those rights for the protection and common good. You have the "right" to travel, and technically have the "right" to stroll across an eight lane freeway during rush hour, however there are regulations governing that "right”‘ for your protection, and that of the motorists in the freeway. All the rights in the Bill of Rights are fundamental, and easily understood, but are continually measured against a changing society with different understandings and needs. The world view of 1776 is vastly different from 2015, yet the fundamental intent of the Bill of Rights remain the same. Do you think that men, intelligent enough to craft the Constitution, would not see that events, innovation, and society itself, would not change the understanding of the words, yet knew that the intent, the spirit, was always there? 

    The understanding of what a militia is has changed from what the founding fathers knew it to be to what the modern perception is. At the time of the first congress militias were everywhere. George Washington signed a law mandating that all (white) MEN between the ages of sixteen and sixty purchase their own gun, and stand at the ready to serve in the militia at any given time. This was the reasoning behind the initial phrase of the Second Amendment referencing militias. There are arguments trying to qualify the word "people" with the term "militia," somehow implying that the people aren't the people at all, but a term incorporated into militia, nullifying the very individuality of persons into an all-inclusive term. This argument is challenged by the use of the word, "people" all through the Bill of Rights where militia is nowhere to be found. The underlying truth of the constitution was all PEOPLE had a right to live, be free, and pursue their dreams, whatever that dream may be.  The government had no right to meddle in the personal affairs of the people so long as those affairs didn't endanger the public at large. Yeah, I know what I just implied, deal with it! All "people" could not be restricted in the bearing of arms, indeed were expected to bear such arms because the wisdom of the day was in the event of calamity these "people" would form a "well regulated" militia, and march off in defense of the state. Since women, blacks, and children didn't count as voting "people" this in effect addressed only the "people" who counted. The reason the very word "militia" was included in the Second Amendment was simple. Everybody knew you needed a gun for hunting and personal self-defense. You needed to BRING that gun when called to duty to defend the country. You couldn't put harsh restrictions on gun ownership because militia needed guns and the government had no intention of buying them. It was understood that the PEOPLE would bear that expense. Otherwise they would no longer be a militia, but a Masonic Lodge! The fundamental question of who OWNED the guns was understood. 

    The world evolved and the reliability upon militia and the concept of the people's army died in the ashes of the White House in 1812. It became apparent that in the event of a full scale war a bit more was needed than some farmers armed with grandpa's shotgun to repel a mercenary force sporting whatever a well-funded government could provide, but with the expansion of the governmental role of PROVIDING such weapons the basic question of private ownership of weapons was never brought to the table, and while  militias still existed, the burden fell upon standing armies with guns that individuals could ill afford. The type of weaponry was never an issue. There is a line of reasoning that states that the founding fathers were restricted to muskets, and had no earthly idea about the types of weapons we have today. This line of reasoning failed the very moment Flint was replaced with percussion caps. Then came the Winchester. That "Damn Yankee rifle you could load on Sunday and fire all week." The first "assault" rifle! With the role of the militia being diminished the right of the people took precedence and the defense of the state became the defense of person. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  This is an important concept that would eventually bring the understanding of militia full circle.  Militia meaning a group of PEOPLE for common defense in whatever discernment this may entail. Even though a man was not expected to automatically serve in a militia he most certainly had the right to preserve his own life independent to that of the state, and he most certainly was entitled to be with likeminded fellows. . 

    There are theories and then there is common sense. In theory the citizenry should bear arms to resist a tyrannical government. The overreach of a Federalist government weighed heavily on the minds of the delegates to that Congress. Common sense tells us that AR-15's aren't worth a flip against a Drone. The best defense against a tyrannical government is a well-informed Congress. Three equally strong branches of government, each watching the other to keep the ship of state on an even keel. Still, we do have the right of self-preservation, and in that element society, and militia  has changed. Enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC! Remember that phrase there will be a quiz later. 

    Liberal thought tells us that while the Second Amendment addressed muskets that the innovation of newer, more deadly weapons has nullified all this and is out of the scope of the amendment and that it was never intended to address this issue. This is a misunderstanding. As I have said, previous, guns have changed, but so has society, and the underlying need for guns. I have spent some time looking through the Internet, and even in the so-called "Wild Wild West" I can find no occurrences of a cowboy charging into a saloon and shooting indiscriminately at the patrons drinking and playing cards. This is now a common event in modern America. The perpetrators almost always shoot between ten and twenty people they never met, are on drugs that didn't exist fifty years ago, and usually save the state a lot of money by making themselves the last victim. This is a modern phenomenon. Al Capone didn't do this. Billy the Kid didn't do this. This was unheard of. I know a man who survived the mass shooting at Luby's. He told me when the killer shot the first man he shouted, "Was it worth it?" My friend was an old time Texan, and frankly thought that was one wife the man being shot should have left alone. The man who killed Wild Bill Hickok shot no one else that day, nor did he intend to. This is a modern phenomenon. 

    Accelerated levels of violence are seen all over the world, not just in America. The English make a lot of hay railing about guns in America while they cower under their beds hoping the "Bobby" gets there before the killer gets IN! The public consciousness is very adaptive. When confronted by a new threat you will see that a new concept, or fix always comes about. Emperor bans swords, monks invent Kung Fu. Hitler invades France, the Resistance is born. Active shooters become the norm, the public starts carrying guns with or without permission. While the understanding of the verbiage of the Second has been debated the spirit has remained the same. The right of citizens to defend their very lives is a natural right, and instinct. What seemed to tie into militia quickly adapts to the preservation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Even a good dog has a right to bite. 

    There are indisputable facts. One such fact is you will not stop gun violence by disarming the victims. That’s like curbing rape by blaming pretty girls. Gun laws governing the ownership of weapons fail. The Charleston shooter had a felony record AND a gun. Gee! I never saw THAT coming. That is the reason for another natural law; Force must be met with equal force. If active shooters continue to prowl the land the public must at least have the free choice of defense of itself. This fact in and of itself will begin to turn the tide of the mass shootings. Gun free zones are like a screen door in a submarine. Even the most deranged person must be made to take into account the possibility that his little rampage may end up with a body count of one, him! The thug stalking a lady going to her car after work must understand that her hand may be in her purse for a reason. Lawless men commit atrocities unheard of except for war on a daily basis. This is the new focus of the Second Amendment, not the overthrow of the government, but the preservation of society, and that preservation has caused the definition of "militia" to evolve. . 

    Regulations of guns have been on the books almost before the ink dried on the constitution, and no responsible gun owner should object. Background checks, education, and stiff penalties for those who chose to endanger society should not be cause for concern, but the legal possession of guns should never be in question.  Licensing should be done away with. To license is infringement. To be free to purchase a gun, but beg permission to carry it is an oxymoron. There are two very important words in the amendment that stand out. "Keep" and "bear!" You have the right to purchase a gun, but what good is a gun if you can't have it with you? Guns don't kill people, DOCTORS do! Practically every active shooter was hyped up on some pill that John Lennon would have given his eye teeth to have. Doctors should be held responsible for dispensing drugs that not only do not help, but hurt, and endanger society by doing so. Cowboys routinely checked their guns with the sheriff on the way to the saloon to get drunk,  Just saying. 

    There are a lot of people in this country.  Will some slip through the cracks? You betcha! Will there still be deaths from drunk drivers, crashed airplanes and tainted green beans? You'll see them all the time. Life comes with risks, but one of those risks should not hanging on hold with the police while some guy kills everything insight because he can't get a date. 

    Not everyone will want a gun, but the sons of anarchy need to understand that we are an armed "society" and they'll never know when, or where, unless, of course there is one of those little signs with a picture of a gun with a ban circle over it. Don't eat there! Eat somewhere else. A Biker Bar is safer than that. Well, everywhere but Waco. Note to self: Never invite a bunch of cops to a beer party. The concept of militia has changed, but then again, has remained the same. The militia of old fought governments, the modern militia fights enemies more “domestic,” and I guess, when you look at it like that, we are all part of that new militia. The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed.

Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth

     The liberal left is amazed at Donald Trump's rise in the polls, but it's so simple. While the liberals have been repeating lies for six years, and Americans have had to eat them someone came along and simply said what we all believe. I shot down the race card tactic two days ago, and that in and of itself was ninety percent of the liberal argument. In all the bashing tweets that I got not one addressed any issues, not one. They zeroed in on Trump's border comments and never even gave a tip of the hat to the fact that we need to have the same border security that all countries enjoy. Well, libtards, the party is OVER! You got your gay marriage, you got to wreck the healthcare system, and you killed more babies than two world wars. You can run along now, we'll deal with you later, and we WILL deal with you! 

     If Trump doesn't lose heart he's going to blitz Hillary and send her home to await charges. People who don't even like him will vote for him just to watch the fun. Can you just imagine people waving their ObamaPhones in the air, looking for a signal that's no longer there? And liberals are all going to have to answer for their sins. There is going to be wailing, and gnashing of teeth when it all comes down because they're going to have to go to work! As the outrage of the American people  gains momentum good people will rise, and the retribution on gays, baby killers, and invaders will be terrible. The great social experiment has failed. Obama will be on the next flight back to Kenya. 

     People have been afraid to even speak out. That was Donald's main gift to the American people, he spoke up! The Liberals have controlled the media, controlled the White House, controlled the courts for so long that they have created the illusion that they are a majority. Well they're NOT! WE ARE! Look around, look at your family, would YOU kill a baby? Do you want your children or grandchildren to grow up to be gay? Do you really want to give up all hope of self defense? Of course you don't! And liberals call us "racists!" Well, we ARE! We've learned to be racist about liberals over the last six years. The very idea of SCOTUS licensing sodomy. And turning the Alamo over to the UN . . . are you KIDDING me? Tearing down the Confederate flag, and  running the Rainbow flag up to replace it. And THAT'S not racism? Wailing, and gnashing of teeth. 

     And it's gonna be FUN! When you see a gay march, and the people show up and march BACK! When rioters start burning and looting and the PEOPLE show up with baseball bats. When a president goes through the White House door and does what he says he'll do! America will rise. The border will be secure because people will know that it STANDS for something. Right now they look at America and all they see homosexuals and weak legislators. They think that's US! Well that's NOT us. The rancher in West Texas . . . that's us. The stock broker on Wall Street . . . that's us. The wine maker in Temecula, California . . . THAT'S US! 

     China's stock market crashed yesterday, did you know that? Game over! They never had an economy anyway. Greece went broke. So what. Charge a buck to see the Parthenon. Get over it. Some thug got capped for assaulting a police officer. Good shot! Pablo hanging limp on the fence between Texas and Mexico. That's not sex, but it's damn close! And the majority of Americans agree with these things. They've just bought into the liberal lies. . . until a man stepped up last week and said, "Enough!" And it was enough. And the people cast their eyes toward the White House, and behold, the Emperor had no clothes! And began the wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
