Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 3:04 pm Post subject: Being an American is not a crime! |
|
Every Sunday we raise the flag at my range, I have my hat over my heart, others that went Over There salute.
I love my guns, my truck, my tools and my home. I love brights lights that come on when I hit the switch- EVERY TIME, indoor plumbing, big horsepower, burning rubber and things that go boom. I love hot water and a roaring fire too, I have no desire to live in a cave wearing leaves and skins so the world won't "heat up". I love my window A/C unit too.
I don't bow to or make any apologies to any country, foreign or domestic- neither should any of my elected officials. EVER. Should same occur they should instantly be banned for life.
I love the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, even though I can't recite what all is on them- and, I'll lay down my life for them both. Anywhere, anytime. Two words are always on my lips- BRING IT.
Being an American is not a crime. It's a privilege!

Good on you mate!
I also prefer my own chosen hell than a mandatory heaven.

When I'm walking into work from the parking lot (or going home) and I hear "colors" playing as they raise/lower the flag on the military base next door, stop and stand at attention until the ceremony is complete. Few who walk by understand what I'm doing.

I got the line from a book by Gary Jennings called "Spangled"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...le_(novel)
One of my favorite book from a favorite author (RIP) with setting at just after the American Civil War.
It is a quote from "Florian" somewhere in the story, I like the line a lot too.

Damn Stovey...Now I have moisture in my eyes. Must be the 28* here this morning.
Not only is is a privilage to be an American. It's an Honor. And I say this with great pride.
