Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small
doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism."

Einstein once said, 'The definition of
insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
different results.'
It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet are still
disadvantaged.
Opinion: The Disadvantaged remain disadvantaged because they are looking
for a Liberal Democratic Government to give them something, when all
they have to do is work for it. (How can a person be 5th Generation
Disadvantaged in this Country?)
Don't get me wrong... the Republicans aren't standing up for you and me like they should but the Democrats sound like a bunch of "Communist Redistribution of Wealth" advocates and they STILL derive their power from keeping the poor people poor. Shame on you!
them know I am tolerant of their position, I put a sign in my yard.

The Rantings of a Mad Man
(and we're not sure what definition of "mad" is appropriate. Editor)
I've been (mostly) convinced that I should use this section for my current rants and raves. I'm hesitant to make this kind of section because of the pressure on me to come up with witty, poignant, socially relative commentary on a regular basis. But then I may eventually allow feedback so I can see what is up with you and then I can either agree or make fun of your problems. Hmmm, this may have potential after all. So...I have just returned from a meeting with someone that didn't want to be associated with this website. (Who would have "thunk" it?) The funny thing was that even though they had benefited from being mentioned here in keeping with their stated mission statement, they were concerned that "other people" might make some kind of assumption about their involvement with, not the information found here but rather, the name of the website in general. As many of you know I hold the sacrifice made by our Armed Forces guys higher than most and feel obligated to take advantage of the freedoms they have fought and died for. While I realize that the liberal, left wing, commie types have these rights and sometimes use them to denigrate those same brave men and women, I am always caught off guard by those that cheapen the sacrifice by trying to prevent others from exercising those same freedoms. In this case it wasn't the previously mentioned misguided group, but a group I thought would be more tolerant. So, in case you missed it, we won't be mentioning some local organizations because they are afraid of offending some other organizations...
Wait what am I saying... I don't care whether someone else likes the truth or not so disregard. Instead of recommending things in the future, we'll simply REVIEW them and let you decide. I don't think those involved will like that better, but then they can have their own website.
Until then... Remember: never forget. It does wonders for the memory.
Alarming Threat Identified
Does the Government want your guns to protect you or them?
(A) The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.
(B) Accidental deaths caused by Physicians per year are 120,000.
(C) Accidental deaths per physician is 0.171.
Now think about this:

(Yes, that's 80 million)
(B) The number of accidental gun deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500.
(C) The number of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188.
Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.
Almost everyone has at least one doctor.
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat.
We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!
Why
I Carry a Gun ..........
My old grandpa said to me, "Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a 'butt whoopin'."
I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to Heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
"Police Protection" is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime; they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die
And too old to take a 'butt whoopin'.

Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4 minutes.
The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS. Would you rather have a policeman on the phone or a gun in your hands when someone evil is entering your home?
In
case you didn't know... (according to the box that a Dairy Queen steak
finger dinner comes in)
- Texas covers a whopping 267,000 square miles
- measures nearly 800 mi wide, almost 800 mi long
- the name comes from the Hasinai indian word "tejas" meaning "friends"
- capital: Austin
- population: 20,851,820
- 28th state of the USA
- motto: friendship
- flower: bluebonnet
- bird: mockingbird
- shell: whelk

p.s. If you don't know what a "Dairy Queen" or "steak finger dinner" is you are definitely NOT from Texas!
A Sad Parallel...
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food. But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was everywhere: on the
patio tile, the chairs, the table...everywhere. Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food. After a while, I couldn't even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio. Soon, the back yard was like it used to be...quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.Now let's see...our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be a automatic citizen. Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families: you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor: you child's 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn't speak English: Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to press "one" to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.
Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
Whether you agree or disagree, this young soldier's words should be heard. He doesn't have the political clout to be on TV or written up in the press. We hear very little from "his" side. Please read and pass it on... Karon A. Lewis, MAJ USAR (and me, the editor of this site!)

Salt Grass Trail Ride: The oldest, the biggest, and the best!
February in Houston means that the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is coming to town! Thousands of trail riders on horses and in wagons trace the routes of 19th century cattle drives as they make their way into Houston in time for the opening day of this annual event. Some of our guys participated in this year's (2007) Salt Grass Trail Ride. We have placed some pictures here to show what it is like this year (GORGEOUS weather)! The 2006 pictures are here (although the pictures can't really depict how cold and wet you can be riding a horse around Houston, Texas!). Click here if you want more information on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
And on the lighter side...
