From R. Patriot 7/23/08
God Bless America, our modest Mayor, and God Bless our Attorney General Michael Mukasey.  General Mulkasey  is demanding that Congress issue a new declaration of war so that anyone that this president or the next one declares to be an "enemy combatant" can be held indefinitely without a trial.  Terrorism is a world wide situation and our war needs to be extended from Iraq and Afghanistan to the entire world. We need to give our President the power to declare anyone who stands in his way an enemy combatant.
The first thing I hope to see happen after congress passes this declaration is to have our Mayor jail and water board our present City Council.  Serves them right for insisting that elected officials like our Mayor spend actual time governing.

WHY I CARRY A GUN

I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being  killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes, this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid,
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating
Myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and
not on a  sidewalk somewhere.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves, and the
ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to
me.

John Steinbeck issued a warning that all should remember:
'Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll
just kill you.

  Personally, I carry a gun because I'm  too young to die
and too old to take an ass kickin' under any circumstances.
