Not pullin punches...

[MarkT]

This came in my email from a friend - I agree with most of it...I don't choose his brand of motorcycles.  I'm sure there's some who disagree with some points - this is a forum, have a nut.
 


I think I like this guy.




 
I Am the Democratic, Republican Liberal-Progressive's Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker. That’s me!
I am a Master Mason. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and drive American-made cars, and I believe in
American products and buy them whenever I can.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some liberal governmental functionary,
Democratic or Republican, that wants to share it with others who don't work!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer; it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to
anything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.

I believe there should be no other language option.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

My heroes are Malcolm Forbes, Bill Gates, John Wayne, Babe Ruth, Roy Rogers, and Willie G. Davidson, who makes the awesome Harley Davidson Motorcycles.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I've never owned a slave, nor was I a slave. I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted
by the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and
change your own country!

This is AMERICA ...We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ....so stop trying to
change it to look like Russia or China , or some other socialist country!

If you were born here and don't like it... you are free to move to any Socialist country that will
have you. I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the White House, the seat
of our biggest problems.

I want to know which church is it, exactly, where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches,
where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution?

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of
what color you are, but not just because you happen to ride a bike.

And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's license. I think it's good....
And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money..

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who
should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years.

I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me
into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job and do your part to support yourself and
your family!

I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents....

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the American flag should be the only one allowed in AMERICA !

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American.

If you are a BAD American too, please forward this to everyone you know...

We want our country back!

My Country..... I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great, great grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the Revolution
& the War of 1812.
My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Mexican American War.
My great, great grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Civil War.
My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Spanish-American War.
My grandfather watched as his friends died in WW I.
My father watched as his friends died in WW II.

I watched as my friends died in Vietnam , Panama & Desert Storm.
My son watched & bled as his friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .
None of them died for the Mexican Flag.
Everyone died for the American flag.

Texas high school students raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole,
other students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

California high school students were sent home on Cinco de Mayo, because they wore
T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.

Enough is enough

This message needs to be viewed by every American; and every
American needs to stand up for America .

We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.

I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country,
and for the American flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know.
I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

AMERICANS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !

Let me make this clear! THIS IS MY COUNTRY !

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

1. Get a sponsor !

2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past !

3. Live by OUR rules !

4. Get a job !

5. Pay YOUR Taxes !

6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it !

7. NOW find a place to lay your head !

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone,
then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !

We've gone so far the other way . . . bent over backwards not to offend anyone.

Only AMERICANS seems to care when American Citizens are being offended !

WAKE UP America ! ! !

If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp !

Made in the U S A & PROUD OF IT!!!!!

  Not only an AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it is something all Americans need to do and know.

 I am a Veteran and cursed PROUD OF IT. I served and served PROUDLY.
 I am retired now ( not by choice) and am getting SSI. I deserve it , I earned it . I have had my social security card for about 55 years.
  AMERICA, love it or leave it!

                                                              da prez   

[R J]

AMEN to all of the above.

Semper fi........   & damn proud of that also.

[BigAl]

This ain't nothin new for me..

Raised that way and no one gets a free ride around my place.

If you are a minority, who cares.

Get a job if you can find one.

If you can't well that is OK keep tryin.

[Flat6Valk]

Thank you Mark@

[Mr.BubblesVRCCDS0008]

H3LL YES I agree with everything he said except the choice of bike and that Davidson guy.
  I was raised the same way if you wanted or needed something it was up to you to work for it.  I too am a vet. and proud of it. English is what is spoken in this country, learn it if your gonna live here.
    In God we trust is on our money and it best stay on there. This country was built on freedom  of choice. I pray to my God and you can pray to whom ever you please just don't try and stop me from praying to mine.

[sugerbear]

i agree with everything he said.
as far as the Harley, don't care for them but, it's a nice looking bike. nice colors.
i'd ride with him

[czuch]

I'll buy that man a beer at the VFW (of which I'm a life member) of his choice.
Amen, H'ua, So mote it be, all of em. Choose one.
BTW be a member of "P.O.O.P";
People Offended by Offended People.

[czuch]

Oh yea,,I couldnt care less if he rode a Vespa.

[9Ball]

can't agree more....thanks Mark.

[fiddle mike]

Jeez, it's like he took every i inflammatory email ever sent and made it his own. 

The fact that our historical time line  is determined by who we were killing, and where, is a cursed shame.
Jefferson must be turning in his grave.  My father-in-law joined the USN when ships were coal-fired and retired from a nuclear navy.  He, my mother-in-law and their oldest son were all at Pearl Harbor the day Roosevelt sold us out but not one of them ever owned a Pearl Harbor Survivor bumper sticker or T-shirt. When the old man retired, he became a civilian.

 Dying for what Eisenhower called "the military industrial complex" doesn't make you a hero, it just makes you dead.  Ho Chi Min's victory didn't cost us one single letter from the Bill of Rights.

[Gear Jammer]

Good one Mark.      Seen it before and forwarded it before.     I knew there'd be some dissenters     , though the ones I was awaiting haven't yet shown up  .  They'll be here soon though,, you can smell them coming   

[big d]

while i do not agree with his choice of bikes i do agree with everything else he had to say. thanks for the post mark. ps.... looks like i may be in the market for a couple more sets of pipes..

Good one Mark.      Seen it before and forwarded it before.     I knew there'd be some dissenters     , though the ones I was awaiting haven't yet shown up  .  They'll be here soon though,, you can smell them coming   

I agree in part with much of what he had top say, although we would have top part ways on several perspectives.

Sometimes things are not as simple as we would like them to be.  Sometimes what sounds reasonable to us is simply a selfish extreme.

Then again, sometimes things are as simple as we would like them to be and now and then what sounds reasonable is.

Our jobs are to sort it all out.    

[bscrive]

His list of heroes has some admirable people; some great American "doers".  Yet the writer doesn't say that he has personally done anything to make America 2011 a better place.

The writer "believes", "knows" and "watched".  He even has ancestors.  But what does he do?

Create jobs?  Build a church?  Lead a Boy Scout Troop?  Develop new medicines?  The writer may do all these daily, but if so, he hasn't let us know.

I can't evaluate the author, as I have never met him, but I have to give his essay a "C-".

I think you should read it again.

[Serk]

What did I miss?

IMHO, the part that's underlined, to me, means a lot... (And I'm NOT a veteran, but I respect greatly those who are)

I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, American Veteran, Gun Owning Biker. That’s me!
I am a Master Mason. I work hard and long hours with my hands to earn a living.

[bscrive]

He is also saying what most people will only think.  He has the guts to go against all the political correctness crap.  That is what he has done.

[alph]

I don't really agree with all he said.  but then again, this is America, he's got a right to his opinion.

[FloridaValkRyder]

Geeze "Pluggy", it's not an essay, it's an email, expressing what the guy believes and, it appears, a lot of us agree with him. I'll bet a dollar he could care less about your grade of C- too. I personally admire guys like him, not afraid to express how they feel about important stuff like this. I bet he, like me, gets called a "loose cannon" a lot. God Bless the loose cannons and any one else who can stand up to the recognized paradigms that we have to face every day. He wants it to be like it used to be when we were not afraid of any one, never apologized to any one, and if you screwed with us too much, we would just kick your a$$.

[The Anvil]

There's a lot to get behind in there. But there's also a lot of reactionary and ignorant crap too.

[FloridaValkRyder]

Like the new pic Anvil. I always see you as a Tony Danza look alike!!
