There goes tomorrow morning.

I'm still on Active Duty, so I'll have to report to my friendly neighborhood EO rep to get my mental hard drive re-programmed. Again.

Lefty/Ron, My concern is that, in addition to our solvency being questionable (can't repay all we've borrowed), many countries in the world would love to change the world's reserve currency simply to poke us in the eye. Note that the people calling for a change are not friends of ours, and are rich....

Bucks--they're precisely that. The "church" is a family of lawyers, essentially. Give 'em a google sometime. Nonetheless, if the government can prevent them from protesting something, they can prevent us from protesting other things. The right is absolute, and the Court was right to protec...

God bless the Patriot Guard Riders.

Hey, just because societal collapse will suck for the oiks, doesn't mean it has to suck for us!

The bad news is that there are many worse organizations waiting in the wings there. MB in NOT "moderate" in any way, but they're choirboys comparfed to much of the competition. I heard a panelist on some show or other dismiss them saying "they only got 20% of the vote in the last elec...

Lefty, Brilliant, and very clear. I am kept up at night worrying about what happens when the world decides to stop using the dollar as the reserve currency of choice. China has already called for it, and there are a lot of bad actors who would fall into line, potentially including the Gulf oil natio...

Lavender Mafia in ascendance. Heck, if all that happens, they may as well become Episcopalians.

OK, tried with Google and confirmed that for some reason, "Do the right thing" is somehow being used as an informal motto for the 11th. Thought I'd been wrong but I was mistaken. Both were used in 1994, seems the more correct "Semper Fidelis" was on written materials, while "...

OG/Lunch: You're both right, I recognized it (and its similarity to the Marines' motto) as soon as OG I read OG's post. It was Semper Fidelis in my time too. Must have been a battalion motto, though I can't recall any other battalions having a motto different from their parent regiment. Harrumph. Ca...

So THAT'S it! Wondered why my status still said "Inprocessing"...

Rgr West, I bet we know each other from JRTC. PM out.

OG: I acknowledge that I've received fair warning, but I think I'll avoid the risk by paying attention to the hat in question. As a onetime 11th Regiment guy myself (mid-90s, 11th's colors carried by the schoolhouse at Benning), I'll be sure to "Do the Right Thing." (Regimental motto--can ...

Impressive singer. Ranger Thomas' 2007 music CD, Flags of our Fathers, is a good listen, particularly the first four tracks. Country without the twang, like many of today's "crossover" country singers.

I'll have the title song going through my head for the next hour or so now...

Then I'm screwed. Pretty sure that was the only good card I had...
