I mean I don't have any regrets doing 2 tours in Vietnam even though its left me 100% disabled and if I could, I would in a heartbeat take somebody else's place on the line. I'm really proud of most telling our new generation of military troops thanking them for their service. Sometimes when I go to lunch and I see a group of 3 - 4 at a table, I'll tell the waitress to bring me the ticket - I got it. Why you ask?? Because NOBODY did it for me or give me the time of day. I never EVER forgot after my 2nd tour I came home at 3am at Seattle airport and who's there to greet me? 300 commie loving bastards who spit on us and we were NOT allowed to strike back. I know I would have been court martialed and I wanted to do 20 years (it was my 2 yr in). I've worked for one government agency or another for over 30 years. Guess that's why I'm so cynical about it because I've seen the coverup's and know what our agencies are capable of.
But I will say this. Although the dept of homeland security does have me listed as a potential home grown terrorist (wonder why LOL) I don't back off. ASK the dept of census of my runs in with them (or should I say their run ins with the business end of what I was holding). When I TELL people its NONE of their damn business who's in my house or how much I make - make NOTE of the NO TREPASSING signs on my property - their supervisor in DC wrote me a letter condemning me pulling my handgun on his "agent". I wrote back and ask did his "agent" tell you he approached my wife at 7pm in the dark outside our house - trespassing. ANYBODY can make up government credentials and its given away freely in crackerjack boxes as a game piece and I certainly don't allow ACORN bastards on my property and IF he wanted to bring his butt down to explain it all to me, he better have his burial insurance paid in full AND bring a deputy with a search warrant - the deputy would be allowed on the property - but he WOULD NOT. That's the LAST time I had any dealings with the Census Bureau and haven't been bothered since
I also believed that "agent" also didn't tell him his pissed all over himself when I had the barrel in his mouth giving him 10 seconds to vacate. Hell you don't know WHO these jokers are when they approach you in darkness. Since then I did add flood lights to the front of the house. I'll soon add video and DVDR capabilities too with sound. After all, I need protection for my weapons and ammo
So you'll laugh at this - when I worked for the city, I made a change to my W2 citing 4,526 dependents. The next day the CFO angerily charged into my office asking if I thought it was funny. I said hell no I don't think its funny that I'm supporting now 4,761 illegals aka new democrat voters with my tax dollars and funding a study about whores in Africa, I need to change my W2 to reflect the new change. He (oh and he's my boss's boss) he angerily said I have to submit this - I said no problem, when they come to ask about it, I'll happy explain it to them and give them the updated W2. Wouldn't you know it, as he was planning on having me fired, he got fired for wanting to play footsies with his new secretary who didn't appreciate his advances.
AND I was the one who got to analyze his computer for damning evidence (which I was happy to provide).
So yeah, I have a pretty dim view of our supposely "representatives of the people for the people" BS. They are in it for THEMSELVES. Don't believe me, start investigating your OWN local government on how they REALLY operate. I want the IRS abolished along with 76% of the civilian federal government and get rid of homeland security - its a JOKE.
Ok, I gotta get off this - it only makes me mad that now they want to PENALIZE you for NOT buying into this Obamacare BS. But call their bluff. Sit in jail and refuse to pay the fine for NOT buying commie insurance. Free bed, 3 meals a day and you get to watch gays fight in the cell across from you for entertainment (b*tch slap snap)
