The Coming Storm
Mood:  blue
I've been feeling a bit strange these days. Sort of looking back to the "old world". The pre 9/11 days when my biggest concern was "how many kills will I rack up tonight on Rogue Spear". Or "will my pc run this new Rainbow 6 expansion?" Yeah life was simple and fun. I feel a great storm coming. We never expect it do we? We didn't expect 9/11. We've grown bold again, or perhaps ignorant, or just arrogant. Maybe all of the above. I always took pride in my gun collection. Relics of wars from years past. Bits of wood and steel. Now I sit here in late late hours of a cold, lonely winter night. I mourn. I mourn the dead. All of the people, friends, neighbors, children.....lost to terror, war. Victims of a new age. I fear a dark new age of terror. don't get me wrong, I have faith in our government. I think they do their best to keep us safe. But so often we are blindsided by senseless attacks. I've grown vigilant. I made a promise on 9/11. I made a promise that if the day may come...I will fight for you. I will fight for my family, my God, my country, my government and the republic it represents. I have lived life as a free man. And it has been a good life. sure it was hard at times. There were times when I didn't want to go on, but I got back up and did it again.

I changed after 9/11. I've talked to my brothers (my friends). We've taken the oath. We made the promise. We'll die for our future generations if need be. The whole prospect makes me very depressed, yet proud at the same time. I wonder if Bin Laden knew that on 9/11 he was writing his own death warrant in blood? I miss the old world, yet I look at the children who have yet to live the life that I had. I will die so they can if the day comes. It's strange to be a patriot. People call me a tool of the Bush administration. I beg to differ, I'm an American who loves his country and I just so happen to love my President. Is that a crime?

Is it a crime to take pride in what you are. There are many who hate what I stand for and unfortunately in the end, I will probably end up fighting for them too. That's the life of a patriot. We take the abuse and the hatred. Yet we get back up and fight for the masses. Yes, I miss the old world.

Christmas
Mood:  irritated
Well it's my favorite time of the year. Sadly I'm starting to dread it for a couple of simple reasons.
Well one mainly. The anti Christian nazis at the ACLU. I hate these mother fuckers with every bit of my soul. Sure hate isn't a very Christian thing. But damn it, I don't know how else I should feel. Am I supposed to feel pity for people who would get off on watching me die? Here's an organisation of idiots who were founded in the 1920s by communists!! Yeah sure I throw that word around a lot, but it's true folks. Reality is a lot stranger than fiction. So here we are, Christmas 04 and one step closer to it being fucking illegal. Hey what's next? Maybe next year we'll have the pleasure of being rounded up and shot in the streets. Wouldn't the liberal cocksuckers love that shit?!?! There's a common attitude in modern America, and the world for that matter. If you are a Jew or a Christian, you are the bad guy. Sure we've been murdered and persecuted more than anyone else in history, but somehow we are always in the wrong.

Do me a favor this year. If you are a Christian, reach out to a Jew, if you are a Jew. Reach out to one of us. It seems we are running out of friends. We have differences in faith, but not a differences in heart. We love God, and we try to walk his path. Sure we stray, I personally swear like a sailor. I drink, I like to look at naked women. But I try. I try to love people no matter how hard it can be. And trust me, it gets harder every day. Every day I turn on the news and my faith is under attack. I'm becoming an outcast, even to some people who are supposed to love me. Let me tell you about one thing that particulalry touched me. I have a good friend. I consider him a brother. He's a fairly liberal guy. A democrat. We but heads on issues, but we see past it. We recently sat down and talked about how he had found Christ. I didn't know what to say. But I think it was God's way of showing me that not all battles are one sided. The ACLU throws rocks at me, and God throws a gem.

This year let your family know how much you love them. Rejoice in the love of Christ and the glorious day of his birth. We may not be able to do it openly for much longer.

Running for the Border
Mood:  celebratory
Does anyone read this? Who knows. Anyway, I wanted to do some well needed bitching. In the wake of the current election I've been doing alot of laughing. Aperently some of our pals on the left are so distressed they need counceling. They are just plain upset. Those poor, pampered little crybabys. And now it seems that whining like little bitches isn't enough, no. Now we have a mass of little whiners who want to flee to Canada because they didn't get their way. It's amazing to think that, these people somehow believe that running away to another country will suddenly make it all better. Personally I'm all for it. Hey and why don't they take idiots like Kevin sites with them. In case you don't know who Kevin sites is. He's the moron who videotaped a U.S. Marine shooting a wounded insurgent in Fallujeh, then turned the video tape over to the media. Gosh man, that poor terrorist bastard got his little brains splattered all over a wall. Let's mourn the bastard, and just suddenly forget about all the U.S. soldiers who died fighting in this God awfull hell hole. Kevin, I hope you read this. You are a traitor and you need to burn in hell. Better yet, I hope you are found in a situation where, you need U.S. or Brit soldiers to protect you. If that day comes, sorry about your luck!! Because I personally, would give you the "oops grenade" award. Oops, Kevin got blown up. It's late, I'm tired and fed up with the direction this country is going. You don't like it here, by all means get the fuck out. Hell take a dozen of your little socialist friends with you. You won't be missed. So for Kevin Sites and all his ilk. May Santa bring you a nice shiny 7.62x39 for christmass. Season's greetings fuckers.

First Post

Well the first post to the blog. Hopefully this will serve as a new home on the net for many years to come. And also (hopefully) keep the politics here and the Gunners Club can get back to talking about obsolete Soviet rifles. :)
