Hey Charlie. I have an uncle and a great uncle named Charlie. Uncle Charlie was in the Normandy invasion and Great Uncle Charlie was a Captain in the navy and was on the repair ship moored next to the Arizona when the japs attacked Pearl Harbor. For my part I served in the army during the Korean war although I never saw combat. I'm always grateful for men like you who served with honor (and would again if called upon to do so).
Charlie, our elected officials have lost sight of their duties and suffer from a confusion of priorities. Their first allegiance, and their duty, is to we Americans who are already citizens. However many of them have either been bought or c*********d into supporting this idea of admitting these i*****l i*******ts into the country and removing obstacles to their citizenship. Others know just what they are doing and their objective is simply to admit as many liberal democrats onto the v****g list as possible. And rest assured that the i******s will v**e democrat. Yes, they are here illegally but the t*****rs and their dupes will find the means to make them "legal" and secure their v**es. I doubt that we will ever see them have a trial let alone be deported. And they will help keep one party in power perpetually. I'm sorry to say these things but I believe they are true.
Thanks for you service Charlie.
Gusty.

Hey Tasine, it didn't seem like a rant to me. You comprehend the situation quite well. We are tenants on the property which was once our own and we receive as alms the money our servants took from us in the first place. And of course we are expected to be grateful for their generosity.
You'll hear more from me from time to time. Like you my hackles are up and I'm spittin' mad.
Regards,
Gusty

Yup. I think I'll be around awhile and put my dimes worth in from time to time. By the way, I have no idea how the name "Jefferson" popped into the second last sentence Maybe his spirit is still with us and he was guiding my hand. Do you have a favorite Jeff. quote?
Regards,
Gusty

Call me Gusty. I'm in America, in Arizona, not in hiding from anyone (Yet). I like Thomas Jefferson and the principles of liberty he expressed so often and so well. Particularly the idea of governors bound to their duty by law. Bound by law also from exceeding their just powers. I think the taxation of wages is unlawful, the taxation of property is also unlawful. It seems to me that we do not own our property any more but rent if from our governors for if we do not pay the rent (Tax) we are fined, our wages are confiscated, or we are evicted. All that we possess we seem to possess at the pleasure of our public servants. If that be true we have ceased to be free men.
Hello to all and my best regards.
Gusty

This is me all at sea in S.F. bay

Yes, that's surely true. we have a right to possess the means to our defense equal to what we may have to face in doing so. Therefore AR15, Mini 14, M 16 and all like weapons are legal.

Welcome Pastor. Looking forward to some of those opinions of yours. Here's an opinion from me. It sounds to me like you turned away from one confounded i***t and embraced another confounded i***t. Rather like a line in Dante's Inferno
"I turned from grief to yet more grief"
Welcome again.

The second amendment reserves to the people the right to possess those arms peculiar to an individual, a side arm and a shoulder weapon of a kind and caliber in common use at the time and commonly available in the community. It does not include those weapons that are specially and exclusively ordered by government contract to supply army and naval forces.
