When I was growing up my mother had a chronic disease she knew would prove fatal at some point. She ran away from her alcoholic & abusive POS father as a young teen and wanted us to never doubt we were loved.

As a young guy wanting to be “cool” it could be embarrassing to hug, kiss, and say “I love you” every single time we parted ways. She has been gone 17 yrs this past Pearl Harbor Day and I’ve long ago lost count of the times I’ve imagined the sensation of her soft cheek on mine as she kissed me and told me how much she loved me.

Now my wife & kids get the same treatment and I don’t care if they feel awkward about it!

Not going into the details, but one hell of a man took a bad hit this week, and I’m torn up inside that there’s nothing I can do but watch and wait now. Life changed in the blink of an eye. I don’t have regrets except for things long passed.

There is no way to do that and to think otherwise is pure vanity.

To think otherwise only shows a man without the ability to hope and pass on that hope to his children.

Will you die a free man if your government takes your means of self-defense and taxes you into poverty?


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

That is the point, those things will never happen to me while I have breath in my lungs.

What good would it do for your offspring if you lost your life trying to defend something that would cost you death?

Do you have children of any age?

Yes I do.

I'm confused, you say you should pass on hope to your children, then you say you should live on your knees.

I don't think showing your kids how to live on your knees is a way to pass on hope, but I'm not you and thankfully neither were the Founding Fathers.

I'm very sorry your friend or relative has been hurt or worse. All I can do is pray and I will.
