      The Fall of Rome

      This is a response to a thread that was closed yesterday and was an exchange between ATF Consumer and I. I felt compelled to restart this portion of the thread because I didn't have an opportunity to respond before it was killed. In it we had just discussed the fall of Rome, and with the...

      OMG - I'm a Democrat!

      I sure know lots of people who fit the mold on this one. The democrats of 1840 were vastly better than their latter day counterparts and their republicrat buddies across the aisle. Maybe both wings of the Boot On Your Neck Party could adopt this as their platform. Ah, who am I kidding. None of...

      "After America , There is No Place to Go"

      Here's an interesting piece that's appearing all over the web, right now. I've tried to find an original posting site, but cannot. This may well be a transcription from a CD by the same author. It's a telling piece of history, supposedly by someone who was there. Despite what some would say, it...

      The Socialist Bill of Rights, by FDR

      This is an excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 State of the Union Address. Franklin D. Roosevelt's list has been called the "Economic Bill of Rights," as well as the "Second Bill of Rights." I call it the "Socialist Bill of Rights." He intended to implement these rights...

      History Lesson: German Brownshirts of the 1920's & 30's

      What is a "Brownshirt" ? 70 years ago there was a group known as the "Brownshirts" in Germany that did the bidding of the far left party of their day. Sometimes this word is tossed about but not everyone knows what it means, or where it comes from. I have been hearing this term thrown about...

      Guns at Protests

      I heard somewhere over the last couple of days that the Libs in the media are worried that people are showing up armed at these protests. They are asking what would happen if just one shot was fired and the mayhem that would ensue. This sounds eerily familiar. Crowds protesting. Shots...
