Watched GB on Friday - AMAZING or should say A - MAZE-ING What will keep the same trap from Veterans Administration, MEDICARE, or any of the other ones? Keep the faith and keep up the watch.

At least you moved out and up. My Swim Buddy at that cushy navy school on the coast, is a Marine (then 2LT now O-8) never got out and he told me the Corps sent the best and the brightest. The Army just sent the only 2LT they could find stupid enough to volunteer for a 36 week learn-t0-swim class at the country club on Virginia Beach. (Corn-CA was just a glimmer in the eye of the CNO at the time (1967). But, extending for two additional tours in RVN in the boonies was more pleasant than that country club. A long way to say, SEMPER FI, my brother! If that is your pic then we share the same barber. You, maybe by choice.

He was impressed when his senior puppy ran after the attack trainer upon command but STOPPED in front of the threat (man in a dog bite suit) and watched BECAUSE the threat (guy in dog bite suit / trainer) stopped moving. Then the dog just watched and waited. I believe that is the origin of his Watch Dog / Guard Dog charge to us. That is, to pick an area of interest to us and watch and alert him (GB). We all can't watch everything. But we can work together to watch one thing and as a group keep an eye on everything.

It's Friday - early at 3:00 am but at least it is Friday. Congress does not meet on Saturday - officially. I've got to go to work. The late shift on the streets is a challenge.

He quotes chapter and verse. MY ISSUE - other than support - IS WHY IN HELL THE AARP IS NOT UP IN ARMS. May I suggest that ALL SENIORS and those who plan to become Seniors call the AARP HQ in Washington, DC at (1-888-687-2277) . Make them live up to their motto: "Divided We Fall". LOAD UP THEIR PHONE LINES and make your voice and e-mail heard now - the time is now. IT'S TIME TO RIDE!

Draconian laws are being generated - given birth to - fasater a litter of pigs. It's impossible to know all that is going on and coming our way. It's sort of like the census - this meeting about how I want to end my life (and I want to go in a blaze of glory rather than having the feeding tube pulled out of my nose). We've got to be watch dogs. You watch this DOG and keep GB advised. Other seniors will also. I will call AARP tomorrow - why those over paid dogooders aren't up in arms is beyond me. My watch assignment is something else. But I support you and will make the call by noon tomorrow.

Just like what may happen to those citizens who are observers of the 2nd Amendment. Most people I know who actually own a weapon (firearm, pistol, rifle, shotgun) tell me that they would be hard pressed to turn-in their weapons in response to some federal mandate or executive order. But they would be fellons if they did not. A quandry. But then it is academic - in Texas nobody has a weapon. That is, other than a Mercedes, or Ford, or Chrysler, or jeep. And, those weapons have killed ten times the number of people (many first degree murder) than all of the intentional and unintentional discharges of handguns, rifles, pistols, M-16's, AK-47s, Light Antitank Weapons (LAW), and so on.

No phone number that I could see. I assume the first/last name is somewhat confidential (that's a laugh) but the h(eck) with it. However, the screen name and logo remain the same - at least for now. See you later. Chap Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:46:35 +0000 http://www.the912project.com/vent-14/#IDComment28899502 http://www.the912project.com/vent-14/#IDComment28897908 Okay, Goober . . . I am now a TWIT - or whatever. Screen name (pdchaplain) and photo (my blanked-out badge as here). As soon as I figure out how to play, I'll be connected. Thanks.

I'll get out of my ancient frame of mind and look up the definition of "TWITTER" and get up on it for the singularly outstanding reason you articulated - we need alternative sources of communication. I am not paranoid - however, often times it is good to note that the bad guys really are out to take you down.

I'll sure we will be able to find one another without arranging for me to be holding a rolled up newspaper under my left arm, etc. God bless. I look forward to Tuesday morning. Chap Thu, 30 Jul 2009 19:51:15 +0000 http://www.the912project.com/vent-14/#IDComment28893155 http://www.the912project.com/vent-14/#IDComment28891338 I listened to today's (Thursday, 7/30) GB three hours on podcast. A number of you in this forum are very perceptive - I feel. GB knows something, sees something, feels something, intuits something is hanging over his head like the Sword of Damocles (or for y'all in my generation, like Snoopy sitting in dread in his dog house while eyeballing a giant icecycle hanging above his head). Being a man of action all my life and having it drummed into my shaved head that one (ranger, green beret, etc.) never - NEVER - leaves a buddy), I want to go to NYC and stand back to back with him. Most likely that will hot happen. So, I want to be a resource to him. After listening to his show again, it is clear that we can be a resource to GB if we are a resource to one another, to our country, and to our constitution. And, like he says over and over today, "THE TIME TO STAND UP IS NOW." So, who of y'all out there would like to form a steering committee for developing some sort of strategy for getting the word out to those people - like most of my friends & associates in my state - who think that this is all a tempest in a tea pot. There did come a time when Paul Revere had to ride.

However, I fear that if we have our eyes and actions so pin-point focused on November 2010, we are missing the situational awareness necessary to see what is happening in the hallway between then (November 2010 and this present moment). The administration and the thugs are moving so rapidly and in so many different directions that if we don't watch out, there won't be any election in November 2010. Either they will cram the ballot with newly citizenized illegals, inhibit voting with red-shirted thugs who are immune to legal intervention, or simply cancel / postpone the election because of some engineered or imaginary crisis that makes it impossible to hold an election at that time. These people are not stupid, they are marching to the sound of their own evil.

It is one that could give us the opportunity to really find an answer that the state legislatures will support for the citizens of their state. All we have is conjecture - at the moment - and a lot of "I'm not going to ... responses. All of this information - at the point of a gun, and don't think for a moment that gunpoint is not an option for federal enforcement officials - in the hands of Acorn or any of the other little nuts popping up around the Mother Oak is frightening. So, we all agree on that. Question is, what can we do collectively - as individual states - to circle the waggons? Let's get together and work out a plan.

And, prayer is always the best way to start the day. And as is written in Matthew 18:20, ". . . where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." What better "back-to-back" buddy to have.

I am nearing the end of a project to write a book about God being with us. I've been seeking quotations with which to begin each chapter. Here is a quotation from Matthew 10:16 that seems to fit as we go out to protect our Constitution: "BEHOLD, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. . . ." God Bless & more to follow, because the good news is that "God is with us, even to the end of time." Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:28:10 +0000 http://www.the912project.com/vent-14/#IDComment28852360
