The REAL War

Posted Friday, April 20, 2012, at 9:00 AM

I've struggled with this one a bit, but the recent ordeal around Ted Nugent has finally made this necessary.

When I was first enlisted, I, (like most of of my "brothers") believed this government, in that Vietnam was some sort of "Defense against Communism" being spread over HERE, so we went over there to "kill a commie for mommy."

The years went by, then the decades, and the U.S. is STILL sticking its noses into things that don't concern us. We'll probably get involved in Libya next, because THIS administration hasn't learned anything either.

In a lot of ways, the "hippies" WERE probably right. Former heavyweight champ "Muhammad Ali" told the draft board that "I ain't got nothing against them Viet Coms" (he meant CONGS, but that's the way it came out).

Years later, we find (whether we choose to admit it or not), that he was right......(although they DID give him the same offer they gave Joe Louis, so it wouldn't have killed him to "suit up").

Most Vets are extremely bitter today, having been deceived, lied to and used------then virtually abandoned later by a government that's anticipating the day that WE'RE all gone so they don't have to fight us anymore over all the contract promises that THEY keep breaking.

Today, I don't hold any hard feelings about the draft dodgers, because Vietnam WASN'T any of our business. It wasn't our war, and it isn't our job to fix everyone else's problems. Now in reality, I think if the truth was ever actually known.......most of the draft-dodgers WERE too scared to fight.....and the rest of them just didn't want to have to cut their hair and serve something besides the drug dealers.

But it WAS a military action we should NEVER have gotten involved in.....especially lacking the leadership to win it............and nothing has changed. NOTHING. (we're even gonna get "flexible" with the Russians now, while Hillary starts signing our rights away to the U.N.).

My hatred for Jane Fonda, and Berkeley College though, continues to this day, over their compassion, aid & comfort to the Communist North we were sent over there to fight.

That was then, and this is now.

I swore a long time ago, I would only fight again under one condition, and one condition only..................it would have to be for OUR country next time. It would have to BE for "baseball, hotdogs, and Mom's apple pie", as they say.

Either under DIRECT ASSAULT upon our shores by a foreign enemy, or out in the streets against a DOMESTIC one---as our SERVICE OATH directs.

And let me tell ya baby..................we can JUSTIFY THIS one!

AMERICA'S sovereignty and freedoms are at stake now.....not Bosnia's, Syria's, Somalia's, Korea's or everybody ELSE's.

Having it to do OVER again, I would still have served our country (probably in the Air Force and nothing else this time------and if so---would most likely not be dealing with Agent Orange today).

But I don't hold Nugent in any contempt. Most draft dodgers are STILL yellow-bellies, but at least THIS one knows WHO to fight when the time comes..............those "enemies" who WOULD destroy our way of life.......and these are the WORST kind........the ones who would do it from WITHIN, and even Nikita Khrushchev said that HIMSELF from a podium back in the early 60's.

Some may see just an "old rocker" here, but in Nugent, what I see is a guy willing to defend HIS homeland.....not somebody else's. I've also watched this guy for YEARS........sportsman, hunter, collector and enthusiast.........supports not only the 2nd Amendment, but ALL of our "antiquated, out-of-date old parchments."

For whatever the pinko communist libs want to disillusion themselves with..........at least HE isn't afraid to fight for his OWN homeland. And he's got a lot of company out here-------and I mean a LOT of company.

That's what I mean when I say that most of you DON'T EVEN KNOW who your real enemies are. You let Biden and Sharpton tell ya.

...........just a little something to think about........have a nice weekend, everybody.

Still circling the wagons aren't cha, he belongs to the NRA Any one that belongs to the NRA has to be a good guy hahaha!!

Any one else who avoided a war you would call a "no good coward", but not Nugent he's now worth admiring... Hypocrite comes to mind......

Obama isn't a war monger so I doubt he will get us into war with Libya unless we are really needed there..

IS there a problem with civil rights activist???? They keep jumping up in the darndest places....and what that says to me is........we should not care about civil rights everything was ok the way it was.......is that so???? ok for who?I GUESS WE SHOULD HAVE LET THE RIGHT PICK OUR LEADERS......I AM SURE ALLAN KEYES WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE TOP OF THE LIST.....BAD CHOICE

Not to long ago on this blog ALI WAS A DIRTY MUSLIM or dont we remember??? but NOW HE HAD IT RIGHT.I dont really care about NUGENT except his threat, other people have went to prison for less.SOME want a panther jailed for standing there.Double standard comes to mind.

FOR some reason any and all inuendos against this PRESIDENT are OK.NEVER ,NEVER have we tolerated the type of rehetoric that has been thrown at this man.FROM DEATH THREATS TO RACIAL SLURS AT HIM,HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.LIKE IT OR NOT HE IS THE PRESIDENT AND AS SUCH DESERVES A PUBLIC DISCOURSE THAT REFLECTS AMERICAN MORAL VALUES OR A LEAST THE ONES WE PRETEND TO HAVE. From were I sit if that is what we are doing were just showing the world how BIGOTED WE REALLY ARE.IN PLAIN ENGLISH IT COMES OUT " he's just a ...... DONT believe me ask your black friends .....if you have any.

THAT IS NOT A RACE CARD THAT IS A FACT IF YOU CARE TO ADMIT IT.

The problem with some civil rights "activist" is, they try and jump at everything that smells like a problem. Like the Duke lecross case. Sharpton was all over that, calling for their heads! Did he apologize when he found out he was wrong? NOPE! Same thing with the Zimmerman thing. Jumping up and down for blood before knowing all the facts, inciting marches, prosecuting Zimmerman before his right to due process. The man was wanting to take away the very thing that this so called "civil rights activist" is suppose to be fighting for. He is a joke! In my humble opinion.

As far as Ali... I never said he was a dirty muslim. You can go back and look at the blog and see, I said I lost all respect for him once he went muslim. I also said he was one of the greatest fighters of all time and that he may even be a great guy. I did say that I hated muslims. Which in my book is no different than someone saying that they hate communist. But maybe in this politically correct world, that's wrong.

Hope you guys have a good weekend :)

PS, I'll start giving the American President respect, when he starts respecting America. When someone does something behind my back, they lose all respect in my book and that's what I HEARD Obama do with the Russians.

You're doing a remodel job with a friend. While your at lunch, your buddy goes to the homeowner and says, "If you give this job to just me, I'll do it cheaper for you." You have to admit that you would all respect for that guy. That behind the back talk is no different than what the President did.

-- Posted by KentuckyTransplant on Fri, Apr 20, 2012, at 10:38 AM
ALL that was said was I have more flexiability after the elections........SEEMS TO ME president BUSH had the same to say about a treaty when he was up for election. I did not hear a sellout I heard a fact in the negotiation process.ALI was muslim long before 9/11 he went to jail a muslim.

KT when I hear the word due process I have to admit my blood boils......why???? BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES WERE SOME PEOPLE DIDNT GET AND STILL DONT GET DUE PROCESS THEY GET EXECUTED.....BY THE POLICE,SOME CITEZEN,THE MEDIA,AND THE PUBLIC AND THERE ARE NO APOLOGY'S GIVEN AFTER THEY DO IT WETHER THEY RUIN SOMEONES LIFE OR TAKE IT. YOU see I very distinctly remeber a case in N.Y. WERE A PERSON WAS TOLD TO ID THEMSELVES THEY REACHED FOR THERE WALLET AND THE POLICE SHOT THEM 18 TIMES OUT OF 60+ BULLETS BEING FIRED DEAD IS DEAD NO APOLOGY GIVEN...THE CASE OF THE 18 YR OLD IN THE SUBWAY IN SEATTLE COP SHOT HIM HANDCUFFED FACE DOWN IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.COME TO FIND OUT HE HADNT DONE ANYTHING HE WAS JUST STANDING THERE.I call that and execution.THE case you mentioned was flakey from the beginning I have NO idea why anyone stuck there nose in.AND those young men DID NOT deserve what happened to them not at all.

Maybe if the police would do there jobs with integrity towards all, the kind of interceding that goes on wouldnt happen and that includes the MARTIN case......Consider this..... if the police had of notified the parents within 24 hrs or less,if they had followed the lead of the lead investigator,and if they had answered the questions asked of them in a timely manner.....would we be were we are at???? I think not...I dont think those parents asked for anything out of the ordinary.....Now ask this question.... If some people ...like them or not.......had not stepped in would the police have ever answered any questions???? I cant answer that but I can say based on there actions up to that point I THINK NOT. I will stick to what I said this case is about pursuit and a law that is badly written.....all the rest for me is a side show that has been gone over so many times it is redicules in this day and age.

MY country needs to respect itself and stay out of other peoples business,quite trying to tell the rest of the world how to live we have our own crosses to bear.WE CAN ALWAYS FIND A REASON TO HATE....CAN WE FIND A REASON TO LOVE?????

Well said, Lamont. This is why I like 'talk' like this. We aren't going to agree all the time or even get along half the time. But, if we can atleast express our opinion without putting feelings into it, I think things always work out for the better. I have a great wife, love her to death. But I don't always agree with her and we sometimes argue. As long as we don't bring deep rooted feelings into our arguements and keep emotions out of the equation, then our arguements always work out (even when she gets my blood boiling!) LOL

There are some on here, and I won't say any names (MsM) lol that seem like they just like to argue.

I apreciate you taking the time to "talk" to me, Lamont :)

-- Posted by KentuckyTransplant on Fri, Apr 20, 2012, at 2:21 PM
KT....MS M ....MIGHT BE ON YOU ON THIS BLOG BUT I DONT THINK IT'S YOU .She probally gets tired of someone else......You talk with out all the name calling, inuendos and attempts to put people down, I can deal with that all day and I am pretty sure she can too.......we would get along KT....I played music with a guy for 7 yrs that is so far right he would break his neck if he had to make a left hand turn but we could and still do talk about everything and he is a FRIEND something neither of us take lightly. ASK your father in law about me . have a great day.

FROM the beginning all that was asked for was and accounting.There was no RACE BAITING.the question became how come these people were NOT being treated the same way others were....NOBODY has exsplained why,MARTIN WAS BLOOD TESTED BUT ZIMMERMAN WAS NOT,NO EXSPLANATION HAS BEEN GIVEN WHY IT TOOK THREE DAYS TO LET THE PARENT KNOW HE WAS IN THE MORGUE,NO EXSPLANATION AS TO WHY THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR WAS OVERULED.........ALL of those questions need to be answered.Does it become RACE BAITING to get the same equal treatment.ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL ....WHY WERE THEY TREATED DIFFERENT.........So if the only thing left is the color of there skin how is that RACE BAITING????? OR were they just sopposed to accept what went on......would you??IT seems that anytime someone of color speaks out against unfair treatment they are RACE BAITING...IF THAT is the case what is being advocated is they should accept second class status and whatever happens to them is tough.....Wrong it will not be accepted and you can call it what you want.

-- Posted by lamont on Fri, Apr 20, 2012, at 6:39 PM
Amen Buckshot but why even try to reason. "Certain people" will never understand and like to be in the "victim" role. It has been about race since day one (Zimmerman/Martin). So now the question that begs to be asked is how will Zimmerman EVER get a fair trial as a "white hispanic" American who has been made out by the media to be the cold blooded killer of an upstanding/outstanding young man who really was not that nice of a person given his recent records that have gone public. If I was Zimmerman and I lived in that area of Florida (and I did live near that area of Florida in the 90's), I would have probably done the same thing. Cold day in he double hockey sticks that some young punk would smash my head and face into the concrete and hit me---REGARDLESS OF SKIN COLOR, etc.

We really need to ask what is wrong with some of our youth of today (and I repeat SOME OF OUR YOUTH) that they have no respect for anyone---including themselves! We really have a problem in this country with kids feeling "entitled." Few know what a hard day of work is. You ask them to take out the trash or clean their room and you get 4 letter words.

Let the cap lock wars begin again.

FACT.......with no auhority or legal reason MR ZIMMERMAN pusued this young man when told not to.

Fact they can bring in the young mans school conduct they will also bring in MR zimmermans which is not exactly stellar.Assaulting a police officer normally gets you some jail time,could that have been affected by the fact that his father was a magistrate??.Assaualting a police officer also shows indifference to authority.

IF mr zimmerman confronted the young man after pusuing and was turned on he will still be the agressor . In any event that will be sorted out.

FUNNY NEITHER OF YOU APPROACHED THE SUBJECT OF HOW THE PARENTS WHERE TREATED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE PROSECUTOR SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT EQUAL THINK ABOUT STARTING THERE.

So you are either oblivious to those fact or ignorant of them......or dont they count?????

-- Posted by lamont on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 8:54 AM
Fact: a young, child (black) came forward and stated that Mr. Martin was the "agressor" and that Mr. Zimmerman was touched first. There were other witnesses who stated the same thing as well.

Fact: 911 tapes contained no racial slurs/remarks that matched Mr. Zimmerman's voice.

Fact: In good old Mountain Home people "get away" with things all of the time. Neither George Hicks nor Judge Epis have that many children...so I doubt that Zimmerman was given any special treatment. There are many people charged with "assaulting a police officer" and "resisting arrest." The circumstances around those events can be so bogus and inflated and most of the time---those charges are never wven prosecuted (and I said MOST of the time).

Fact: The police were called. They did not arrive quick enough to prevent a tragic event. This area is well known for problems.

Fact: Mr. Martin was in a hoodie and it made it hard to tell if he had a gun nor could Zimmerman tell how old Martin was.

Fact: Mr. Zimmerman may not have had a spotless record but Mr. Zimmerman's problems were BEHIND him---in the PAST---not part of what he was doing currently (as in that week or within the last 30 days). Mr. Martin was on a far less than stellar course---and those are current events.

Fact: It was Mr. Zimmerman who had cuts to his head and face which tend to lend support to the fact that something transpired between Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Martin---that was way more than an exchange of words.

Fact: With all of these witnesses, nobody jumped in to help either party. All anybody could do was call 911 and wait for police but continue to watch what was going on from their windows or front doors. Hard to tell what is really going on in the dark while it is raining.

Fact: None of these facts will change your mind because to you this is a white person (who is really hispanic) who shot an unarmed kid. The same kid who was found to have drugs on him, the same kid who had aspirations of being involved in gang activity and the same kid who was having problems with his attitude and a sense of entitlement. So no matter what the facts are---Mr. Zimmerman to you is a cold blooded murderer.

Not sure about the rest of you out there but given the same set of circumstances, I would have done the same thing. However, having lived in Winter Park, Florida and knowing how Sanford is---I would not have been in that area after dark...or during the day. Sometimes we need to be accountable for the decisions we make and the things that we do. Mr. Martin had already decided what path he was going to take and he was not a nice---young---good natured---well intentioned boy.

It was a tragic event. A young boy was shot and killed. The shooter will go on trial now in Sanford, FL and get his "fair" trial. Two lives and the lives of these families changed forever. Very sad regardless of what color the "players" are/were.

Amen Buckshot---it is always about the money. Always. Funny how upset people are but they can sign movie deals and sell a story for profit. Funny how that works.

If Obama had a son, he would look like Trayvon. Yet another "zen" moment.

TALK about changing the subject as Liberals are accused of doing.....

But in any event I am sure that is what there lawyer told them to do as insurance against there bill.But I am sure we are not sopposed to think that way and if we do there has to be and illegal or alterior reason.I dont think I would want there legal bill and if that mitigates it so be it.

I think at this point there is and attempt to blame the victim.discredit the family and in general denergrate people for wanting to know the facts of there sons death by someones hand.MR zimmerman is a victim also of a very badly written law and society's profiling.He should have stayed in his vehicle as he was told,and we wouldnt be here.That is like staying on the subject at hand.

last......jusice is not free in AMERICA FOR ANYONE.

-- Posted by lamont on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:00 AM
KT Yes I like to argue its a form of debate...

Debate is a broader form of argument than deductive reasoning, which only examines whether a conclusion is a consequence of premisses, and factual argument, which only examines what is or isn't the case, or rhetoric which is a technique of persuasion.

-- Posted by MsMarylin on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:09 AM
I love the simplistic, black-and-white analysis offered by most on here. This is what is wrong with America. No one bothers to actually understand anything. We want strongly opinionated, cliff notes versions of everything and as long as it agrees with our pre-existing beliefs, it is all good. If we bothered to actually understand the issues, we may be able to direct our resources at the true cause.

-- Posted by twilcox1978 on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:13 AM
And here we go. Wrestle with pigs and you are going to get dirty. Yes, let us dance around the facts and try to paint that nice, pretty, little picture. It is nice to place things in a little box and just put them away.

The problem with this country now is that we "just sit in our cars." We watch someone being beaten or raped---because we do not want to get involved. "We are told to stay in our cars" and that is what we do (bury our heads in quick sand). Few go out on a limb to help someone out of fear that they will have to get "involved." Yep, stay in your cars folks. That is exactly what they did when the WWII vet needed help because he had been either hit by a car or beaten and people thought he was homeless so they just walked over him. Yep, stay in your cars. Do not get involved. That is what is wrong with this world.

-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:13 AM
If one of my kids were killed and it was sensationalized all over the news, I would probably trademark his name. Not for money .......so no one can profit off of his name. Book deals and etc.

-- Posted by MsMarylin on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:19 AM
So then they change the name ever so slightly and put in a disclaimer that "these events are based on a true story. Some names have been changed to protect those involved."

Yep...way to go.

-- Posted by OpinionMissy on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:22 AM
Well maybe trademarking his name will stop the t-shirt sales outside the court house

-- Posted by MsMarylin on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 10:49 AM
And of course the biggest elephant in the room that even liberals don't want to fight about anymore is why is someone with a record (i.e. George Zimmerman previously attacked a police officer) is allowed to carry a weapon (concealed or otherwise). I know, I know, everyone and their uncle should have as many guns and bullets as they possibly can to keep society safe (and of course to kill other people they find "threatening").

-- Posted by youneedsocialism on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 11:28 AM
OP.....I dont know were you got your information from and really dont care........I see more than a black kid shot by a white and I have stated that through out or do you just ignore that.Please dont tell me what IS GOING ON IN MY HEAD.Are you just ignoring the fact that I have stated over and over again this is about pursuit and profiling.Or is it easier to think you know were I am at with this and to take your own projections to task as truth. You know what martins asperations were.....how?? did you personally know MARTIN ??

I NOTICED HOW YOU EXSCUSED mr ZIMMERMAN BEHAVIOR AND JUST GLOSSED IT OVER,BUT MARTINS BEHAVIOR IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR YOU.mr ZIMMERMANS BEHAVIOR will become and issue,just as MARTINS WILL AND I STATED THAT ALSO and I will not alibi either.

BUCKSHOT.........I AM SURE YOUR RIGHT AFTER ALL YOU ALWAYS ARE,CASEY ANTHONY MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?????? just wondering.

-- Posted by lamont on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 11:55 AM
Zook,

I knew that you would go down that route even though my initial post had 100% nothing to do with the Constitution. I think that you knew this but still had to plug it in. Why? If we were talking about rifles and I brought up the price of rice in Uzbekistan, tell me how that adds to the conversation?

Take for example, environmental regulations. Let's suppose that one is in their car listening to the radio. Most people that care about politics already have their mind made up. They do not really try to understand what they hear. They first want to know if the opinion/idea being expressed agrees with them or not. If it does, then it must be right. They wait patiently to hear/read things that back up their opinion. This cherry-picking of sorts is quite rampant. Now let's not bother to question or know any actual context. Its called being lazy and weak.

If Micheal Savage (or whoever) says it then I can use it to back up my uninformed opinion. That somehow makes it substantive and worthy. Well, hate to burst the bubble but all it says is that one really knows next to nothing and can't think for themselves. Americans on both sides of the fence play this bizaare game. Most are not willing/capable of thinking for themselves.

Funny. I thought you tried to say over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again that this, in your little head, was not about race. Funny how you type exactly what you mean but try to gloss over how you really feel with a bunch of pc crap.

I would never want to be in your head. You are a racist sir.

YOU WOULDNY RECOGNIZE A RACIST UNLESS THEY SPOKE IN A WAY YOU APPROVED OF......RACIST ARE USUALLY PEOPLE WHO DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG BE THEY BLACK WHITE GREEN OR YELLOW,THEY ALSO USUALLY HAVE NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY ABOUT PEOPLE OF OTHER RACISES.They have no idea what they are about and are full of inuendos and sterotypes as you so well demonstrated

If it is true that they cancelled the show, then that is weak. Nugent is simply expressing himself. He is not going to kill anyone nor incite any mass uprising. Some need to get over themselves.

Mike,

This little corner of the blogoshere is addictive but can be counter-productive to meds for blood pressure and other ailments. It does give my backspace and exit keys lots of use at times though.

You Americans need to welcome with open arms, a guy like Nugent. You helped create that violent coward monster with your continued partaking of unnecessary wars and the belief in your constitution's "second amendment". So what if he is a "draft dodger". Gun touting USA citizen cowards like Nugent, and I am sure there a a lot of you, need those type ******** to continue to make gun ownership a priority in the USA so as to continue the murder and crimes against each other. What kind of country would you be without the Nugent's and proliferation of guns? Probably like the most hated country Canada.

I agree with Jessie. I hadn't checked anything over the weekend so I must have missed this decision.

We have all been impressed to sound a "voice of warning" and our methods of how do achieve this is very different. There are no rules set into place as to how you should approach this.

Having met you last November, I saw a man who had a great sense of humor, story-telling skills and most of all common sense. You have utilized all of the talents that God has given you and have been generous to us all with your gun knowledge.

I know how hard it is to find your center in the midst of all this angst.

Sometimes we only get to till the soil, but are denied the opportunity to stick around to plant the seeds or watch the crops grow. However, I firmly believe that each of us have had a purpose in what we needed to say and how we presented it on our blogs.

Opportunities are out there, you just have to find another audience willing to weigh out the facts.

I have a great deal of respect for you, please keep in touch.

Bonnie/King Hill Gal.

Mike, if you set up an e-mail newsletter contact list, be sure and let us know on this newsite. I would love to stay in touch with you and the people on these blogs who believe like we do. Thanks for everything you've done with your blogs. You're a good writer - hope you keep up the writing in one form or another.

Mike, all I can say is thanks my friend. I will certainly see you soon. All of our best to Donna as well. Looking forward to a visit very soon.

Buckshot---they are one in the same. Jessie James is who the Middleton fruit cake started out as. That was many names ago.

Everyone have a great day. Happy retirement Mike. I always have your back my friend. Take care. See ya on the range!
