  • Mike, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the recently held AFAD activities. It really takes an entire community to make an event this large happen. We gratefully appreciate your participation.

    Best wishes,

  • There you go, sounds like a good plan. I'll look forward to seeing the new parade addition.

    Best wishes,

  • You just pointed out what's wrong with America, with that blog buddy. Killing and car worship. The strange and ugly beauty people find in murderous wars and meaningless objects. People died wrongly on both sides so lets celebrate the chaos with candy and cars. Yip, yip! The American dream is an ugly and vain thing that will destroy us all. Guns and auto's, candy and tanks. What a lovely ideal to give the children of this fallen nation.

  • For one thing, I live in Boise. Another is that I walk or ride a bike if I need anything. And guns and guts didn't create computers or the Internet. And as for guns and guts giving freedom of speech, that is a fallacy. If you look deeper into the history of America, not the b.s. history they teach at school, You'd realize all the wars, revaluations, civil-wars at the beginning weren't to give the common man freedoms. But to raise the status of the rich. More land, more money, more power. The poor and working class were/are just pawns sent to the slaughter in the name of cash/power. And just for the record there still is slavery in the U.S. In 2006, after hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans, a company called Signal International recruited "Guest Workers" from India. Some of them were forced here, others threatened and some paid $20,000 to this company because S.I. promised them a new life here in the U.S.A. They were helping with the cleanup of New Orleans. They had to live in labor camps where they lived 25 to a small room. This company never paid them. And if they complained they were threatened, beat, and imprisoned on company grounds. They finally escaped march of 2008 and made their way to Washington DC to bring some kind of punishment to Signal and other company's in the America's that use these same tactics. So gun's stopped slavery? Not a chance, they just hide it behind other terms. Genocide, lets think about that one for a second. America was pretty much built on genocide or something pretty close to it. Think bubb, the Native Americans. We pretty much decimated those people with our greed to EXPAND. And they still suffer to this day. Oppression is still here if you'd open your eye's. And World Domination is what the American Government and the Corporations want. But like Rome, this will surely fall. But it won't be the World leaders that suffer, the rich won't suffer, it'll be us poor and working class that will be sent to the fire's and front lines.

    And you know something if I had the money and proper passport I would leave. But at the moment I'd have to scale some damned fence protecting some "Imagined Border."

    Read a book, I'll even suggest a couple: A People's History of America By Howard Zinn. Actually one book is probably more then enough for a guy that wields a bazooka. Hell, You'd just burn it anyway so forget it.

  • Nope I'm voting anarcho-socialism. Besides Obama is not a Muslim he was a Baptist last time I checked. You need to dig deeper into your hat and find the straight facts. And almost all our elected officials except money from industries one time or another. They are all crooks in my book, especially Reagan. Hope that's okay to say in this FREE country?! But whatever, I most definitely vote, not that it even matters anymore what with electoral colleges pretty much making the final decision on who wins and only two choices to chose from the same **** coin. The American Dream is dead and so is true democracy. We live in the shadows of it's gravestone. This isn't what your parents or my grandparents were raised to believe in. If they were alive today they would protest and riot like the old Unions used to do to get things back under-control. But the youth and middle age citizens of this country have become automatons that can't see what is happening around them. They are to infatuated with guns, sex, violence, cars, clothes and drugs to pull off the blinders. T.V. has cast it's spell and mesmerised the nation into believing that we still have a real democratic society. But whatever lets let it burn. Ya dig? Oh and here's another thing I believe, religion is just another leash to keep us from revolting against the lies. But that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to get ya going in other directions. Sorry if I've offended you. Truly. And I think I will head to Mexico, at least then I wouldn't have to put up with ignorant red necks. Yee haw. Talk to ya later sport.

    P.s. I used to live in Mtn. Home. For most of my childhood. So ya might understand why I'm against your blind patriotism. Good day to you sir. See I respect My elders even though they might be crazy.

    much love,

    the knife 08'

  • Oh and another thing. I'm sure your family wasn't native born to this country originally. They more then likely came from Poland or Germany. So that being said. Who has more rights to be here? The people that lived here well before we showed up or a blasted nazi bonehead that came here below the deck of a ship? I say that Lovingly.
