"...the beneficiaries of this wonderful system of freedom and capitalism are cranky — like angry puppies who gnaw and chew at their mother's ample teats." - Victor Davis Hanson

MISSION STATEMENT

This blog contains stories and graphics about auto racing, war, firearms, history, family, politics, the coming apocalypse, and whatever else might interest me.

Most of it I wrote or created. Some of it I didn't.

I try to approach my topics in a humorous and self-deprecating style, and I use coarse language sometimes.

Most of my thoughts here are tongue-in-cheek and satirical. Some are not. You'll figure it out.

Maybe.

I write and create for ME...to blow off steam, to get a laugh, or to get a point across, and I do it in my own demented way.

If you find my creations routine, dull, predictable, pedantic and pedestrian...I really don't give a fuck.

If it ain't your bag, that's cool. Don't read it or look at it. It's a free country.

For now.

Sorta.

George Washington

"Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth."

John Adams

"The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea."

Thomas Jefferson

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."

James Madison

"A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country. Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

Alexander Hamilton

“To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at a more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man a right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience."

John Hancock

"There, I guess King George will be able to read that."

Thomas Paine

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."

Benjamin Franklin

"Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God."

Samuel Adams

"The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."

George Mason

"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

John Taylor of Caroline

"In the creation of the federal government, the states exercised the highest act of sovereignty, and they may, if they please, repeat the proof of their sovereignty, by its annihilation. But the union possesses no innate sovereignty, like the states; it was not self-constituted; it is conventional, and of course subordinate to the sovereignties by which it was formed."

Noah Webster

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."

Patrick Henry

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined."

Daniel Morgan

"Where you have no religion, you are sure to have no government, for as religion disappears, anarchy takes place and fixes a compleat Hell on earth till religion returns."

Horatio Gates

"Things here about stay pretty much the same situation. We look at their lines and they view ours. They want courage to attack us. We want powder to attack them."

John Paul Jones

"It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win."

Nathanael Greene

“We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again.”

Captain Samuel Nicholas

"Sign here, motherfuckers. Your ass belongs to the Corps now!"

Francis Marion

"Promises that you make to yourself are often like the Japanese plum tree - they bear no fruit."

Marquis de Lafayette

"When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties."

Ethan Allen

“"Waiting, are they? Waiting, are they? Well, goddam 'em, let 'em wait!" - Ethan Allen, to his physician who said "General, I fear the angels are waiting for you"

Nathan Hale

"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

Paul Revere

"I knew what they were after; that I had alarmed the country all the way up, that their boats were caught aground, and I should have 500 men there soon. One of them said they had 1500 coming; he seemed surprised and rode off into the road, and informed them who took me, they came down immediately on a full gallop."

Betsy Ross

"I gotta sew how many of these fucking things?"

Crispus Attucks

"Fuck! You limey bastards shot me!"

Fortune cookies speak truth...
