You know - the kind where that interesting soccer game that the folks with funny accents play gets cowboyed up to the point that you need helmets and pads to reduce the probability of severe cranial injury.
That's reduce - not prevent.
And what's all of this about having to be a Global community? I realize that the United States must cohabitate with the rest of the nations on the Globe, but I am a citizen of one country and one country only.
I have neighbors. I cohabitate with them on the same block. But I only live in my house. And if I decide to put up a fence, I don't ask them for permission. I don't feel any guilt. And if their roof is leaking, I certainly don't feel obligated to pay for the repair to improve their quality of life.
I've been thinking about this since reading Brohica's last post. I, too, believe in peace through superior fire power. You say that in some circles and the listener will laugh a nervous laugh and hope you're joking.
I'm serious. And I'm proud of that fact. I would open up a discussion with Ahmadinejad. I'd call him up and say:
"You know, Dinny. Can I call you Dinny? Whatever, I will anyway. See, Dinny - [insert sound of me eating potato chips here] - you're way behind the 8-ball in this whole nuclear arms development thing. We've already got a program that's pretty awesome. I mean, seriously. It's...it's just awesome. Just take my word for it. You don't wanna take my word for it? Fine - I guess I'll just prove it, then. Later, Dinny."
Bam - problem solved. One way or another, that is.
I'm not trying to be overtly violent. It's like Dick Butkus said: "I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something."
Of course, I'm being a bit facetious. A bit. I just wonder what happened that you have to hide your fervent patriotism so people won't think you're a right-wing nut job at worst and a Republican ideologue at best. Why is it I feel like I'm Axel Foley and I've found myself in the twilight zone known as Beverly Hills?
Axel Foley wasn't looking for trouble, he just possessed some good ol American Grit. He knew that sometimes when defending your territory you have to get bit disreputable. Being liked is not the issue. Protecting that which is valuable to you is. And my country, the freedoms it gives me and the ideals on which it was founded are very valuable to me. To protect them, I'm prepared to get a bit disreputable.

right on Raph!I think a majority of the country would agree with you... if it was politically correct that is!Sadly you can't put a fence in your yard anymore without the permission of the city communists.. I mean comissioners, and get it approved by the city planner,after they have a meeting where your neighbors can say it'll ruin their property value if it's allowed! AAAUUUUGGGGGHHH! Whose land is it?!?!

OK, hubby…I don’t at all disagree. In fact, if you wanna put up a fence, I’m the only one you have to ask. But I have a laundry list of other household to-dos that top the fence. I know you, I’m your cohabitator, and I know you’re a comedian that sometimes makes me laugh so hard I “pee a little.” But, really – do we really have to joke about “Dinny” and his nuclear warheads? As for me, that actually scares me. Anyway, maybe when we put up that fence we can paint it red, white, and blue. Nevermind, you’d have a better shot at getting Dinny on the phone. --Bru
You might be a redneck if... you disagree with anything the liberal intelligentsia believe. No one wants to go from a cohesive biological life form to a bunch of scattered sub-atomic particles courtesy of "the big one". However, the reality is that nukes exist and will always be the 400 pound gorilla in the room. If those weapons are in the hands of a madman or group of madmen, there comes a point when you have to do what you have to do. Regardless of what the administration and their nincompoop advisors and supporters think, there is no amount of reasoning with Dinny and his ilk. Be vigilant and keep the code keys handy.
there is a segment of society that would put the damn fence up (actually for ted...and fuguratively for BROHICA) and post a sticker that said protected by smith and wesson security company...not sure, but i think i know a member of that segment.

One doesn't have to be young and husky either as evidenced by the recent story about a burgler that was chased out of a foiled burglery attemp by a naked ( he slept that way) 90 year old who grabbed his govt issued 45 and along with his doberman chased the perp from his home. They found they perp shaking in his own domain later. They should have found him on the old man's floor.
I do KNOW a member of the S&M security group and I am proud of it hrd
