Is that a Ruger Blackhawk he is packing? BTW, that gentleman's posture and look is one that demands respect and that real men can appreciate.


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Vietnam is the main reason that LBJ was the second worst president in modern history after Obama. He active prevented our forces in Vietnam from even attempting to win which forced us to lose. The war was fought for no purpose except to make him look tough and make him money. This disaster disaffected an entire generation creating the idiots who support the Democratic Party today.

Everyone who fought over there should be proud, and we should all be proud of them, and - while we still can - tell them.


It was LBJ who actively prevented our forces from attempting to win. He made fighting that war pointless and hopeless. He did this to make himself look tough but did immeasurable damage to the country. Typical Democrat.
