ENOUGH

First, I want to thank the eloquent King Jeff for his educational and well written assistance. I hope you learned a bit. I did.

Second, I want to mention the school shooting in Virginia. If there were armed citizens packing heat in the area, I don't think that the guy could have killed 32 people. He might have gone batshit and shot a few people, anyway, but even the best-trained soldier takes a few battles to rack up 32 bodies. Unless, of course, he is blazing away at an unarmed populace.

Now, down to bidness.

I had a three day drill this weekend out in the boonies, so I was out of town since Friday. My wife had our three girls and my 12yr old's BFF with her, and she decided to go to the local laundry facility to wash some blankets and things that are just too large for our washer. While the two twelve year old girls were doing twelve year old things, my wife overheard two illegals (wetback SOBs) talking about the very vulgar and very inappropriate things that they wanted to do to my 12yr old and her friend. My wife speaks Spanish (work related), so she jumped their asses.

The laundry was full of people, men and women alike. Some were Mexicans (not Americans), some were white folks, some were black folks. No one came over to help her as she had an altercation with two men who were being lewd with her children. Everyone else in the laundry studiously ignored the situation. The guys finally realized that my wife was not going to shut up until they went away, so they left.

As my wife became less angry, she began to get embarassed about her behavior. She became apologetic about it, even. Not to the creeps, mind you, but to me, hours later.

So I explained it to her. Now I'm going to explain to all (both) of you.

I have had enough of this crap. The next person, legal or not, that violates my sense of decency or civil liberty is going to get his ass beat. Do you know why I am so willing to resort to violence?

I'll tell you.

Most of the world only recognizes authority when it is backed by violence. Aggression and violence are the only true means of keeping people from acting like tree-hanging crap-flingers (monkeys). I will not be afraid in my own home, neighborhood, city, state or country.

I'm not saying that I will go walking around in Compton or anything, but I won't let thugs and low-lifes run the show on my watch. I will not let this country that I have dedicated myself to defending turn into any more of a den of wretched behavior than it has already become.

If you are one of those people who just watches it get worse and worse every year without ever stepping up, you had better grow up. Hanging on to the illusion that it "might get better" is a waste of time. Our country is spinning so fast down the toilet right now that we may never fix it.

I, for one, am going to rage against the dying of the light.
