11:00 PM for me after a long 14 hr day ,,,,
3 Police Officers dead, 10 shot....4 critical I think.
3 Police Officers shot dead while doing thier job watching over a protest march in Dallas. Shot from elevated positions over the street by all accounts I can gather at this moment....in other words sniped,assasinated, MURDERED. At this point I assume " VinDicated " by the tragic shooting of a man in Minneapolis. Wow I seen something on you tube or the news so....now its ok for me to kill a cop! ...........Let me tell you stupid pos mofos something you NEED to KNOW....JFK got shot on TV... Martin Luther King got shot on freaking TV......the country did not descend into utter chaos....EVERYONE took a deep breathe and tried to get over the shock and horror of what had just happened. YOU utter contamination to the gene pool are acting out STUPIDLY!!!!!!
oh no I just made a remark that some may infer as racist...they may think I am singling out the black community or maybe some other horribly oppressed ethnic group!!! Therefore anything I say cannot stand it must be removed from any and all record...otherwise it may actually hurt some single persons feelings....oh the tragedy of that
Ok you hate the police because they beat up your cousin or sister or you heard a story about some sick thing.....you got bad plumbers, accountants, politicians, lawyers, judges, landscapers etc etc etc......does that mean all of them or bad or on a whole most of them are good. Let me give you plenty of time to think cause I know thinking stresses you out a LOT.
Heck lets just outlaw the police altogether.....YEA thats a great idea.....FK them racist beating my cousin mofos.
Whats your neighborhood gonna be like 6 weeks down the road there hero? huh? cmon step up this is the shiznit no cops no more we do whatever the hell we want to! Who you gonna call when your uncle is beating up your aunt.....who you gonna call when your neighbor stole the rims you left sitting on the porch,,,, who you gonna call when your cousin is shooting up dope and you do not know where to turn..... oh yea It is you Bro ...YOU GO FIX ALL THAT SHIZNIT????WE DONT NEED NO RACIST COP *******S>>>SCREW THEM>>>KILL THEM
Now its your job ******* you be the local cop of your neighborhood...have fun dick head.
Tommy
Sorry guys but let me tell you something....IT is your job and mine to take our country back to the brink of sanity...it will not happen by itself....this will just continue on/
Things are bad for sure Tommy. I understand the rant. 3 inspectors here in our office watching this tonight in Phoenix. So sad. And terribly stupid regardless of the skin color of the perps. Shows their total disregard for the morals, ethics, and rules of a society. And that has nothing overtly to do with religion, though I personally think that is a major component. But societies must have rule of law to govern, keep peace and make the people secure. It is obvious we have a declining morality and sense of decency.
Anyway, watch your back. Most of all, PRAY. At least, take a deep breath and be prepared to see what you can do to be of service to those in need, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
He Is In Control, Have a Great Day, Brent
We as a nation have lost "civility". The ability to disagree yet respect each other. Manners, respect and empathy are almost lost arts.. Narcissism has run amok.
ANARCHY - a state of disorder due to nonrecognition of authority. / absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.
The problem is identified - what is the answer/solution?
What are America's Values?
*United States of America & E Pluribus Unum -
United not as 50 geo/political states but as one people as Americans and from many peoples one peoples - diverse in background or origin but united as one people/Americans, not: German Americans/British Americans/Black-African Americans/Mexican Americans or of 200+ other country Americans but all are Americans.
*Liberty -
To become what we can become, we are not to be equal/only have equal opportunity. Not a socialist model of every one is to be equal.
*In God We Trust -
For our Liberty, not from the President, the Congress, a dictator, a King or Queen, a Prime Minister or any government.
Well put sir. Appreciate that.
Brent
Hyphenated America is a divided America
"Fear God and Take Your Own Part" Theodore Roosevelt 1916 - p105 "The hyphenated American of any type is a bad American and an Enemy to this country." "Today It is true that this country can not endure half American and half foreign. The hyphen is incompatible with patriotism."
CWI, 357...I agree
We are either "Americans"....or we're not
We are either loyal to this country....or we're not
We are either for this country....or we're not
there is no in between, either for us or against us
Trackergd, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have nothing to add.
I live in the Chicago Area. Everyday it is worse than a being in a warzone to say the least. The CPD are grossly neglected by all these bangers and friggen lawyers who represent them.

Thank you all for your responses....they are not negative they are conversation of a problem that affects us all. I really appreciate that especially since my own comments are so inflammatory. I do pray Brent...this entire nation end to end needs that desperately. Not just for your cousin, family member in strife but say something to the Lord for ALL of us as a nation....we got problems and we need clear communication and open discussion and the ability to be honest about how we really feel with out fear of getting shot or posted up on you tube. In my humbly defective mind that means actually participating. talking to your neighbors, going to city council meetings....hell show up at the protest and talk to the protesters your self..........how much time does that in REALITY waste from your life? We are a spoon fed spoiled society as a whole.....take your lazy butt from in front of the puter down to where your governing is actually happening....just at a local level. I think just that simple voice would turn this around./////////Yea do ANY of us want to do that.....well probably not.....however I firmly believe just a small sacrifice on your part in time with encouragement to your neighbor will move mountains. At the very least we will gain better understanding of the real problem/////u cant solve crap if you do not know the real problem/////your just throwing resources at it trying to make it go away.
Wow last statement is kinda how our federal govt works typically huh? The reason it is operating that way is because WE sit on our fat buts and do not participate in a real and meaningful way. Just watch it on the major news networks and maybe take the time to cast a ballot every now and then.....let the herds elect someone what difference will it make. Why call my senator or congressman (in lower case for a reason) and talk my beef out? Well your paying that mofo to represent you whether you voted for him/her or not. Get your moneys worth out of them!!!!!!
PARTICIPATE IN YOUR GOVERMENT!!!!!!!
EDIT let me say this one more freaking time....Participate in your goverment.
Will any of that change the world.....uh yea if you think about it logically. If your willing to sit thru a city council meeting I would dare say you investigate who your voting for on your own time and not necessarily voting by what you hear on popular newscasts. This is AMERICA it is and will be whatever we make it be. There is no other place on this entire planet where you have that opportunity like we have here....right now!!!!!
So why don"t you quit *****ing, stop marching and just make it how you want it to be.
Tommy
President Obama please just shut your freaking mouth!
Police are called by a black man being threatened at gunpoint by another black man. In the act of responding the perpetrator, a four time convicted felon with a gun in his pocket, refuses to comply with officers acting in the interest of their own and the public's safety. He becomes an deceased by breaking multiple laws and endangering himself, the officers and any bystanders.
Our brilliant President opens his mouth and inflames those who hate the police, before one iota of investigative information becomes available. We need a responsible leaders, unfortunately he is too self absorbed to have any positive effect. BTW if he is such a great "organizer and community leader" why is he not asking black lives matter to go march in the Chicago hood protesting for peace in the community....after all most 95% of all black deaths by firearms are one black person killing another in their own community. Oh well that would make perfect common sense, guess that is not possible from such a narcissistic ass.
Police in Cleveland are asking for a temporary ban on open carry in their county due to the RNC convention. I hate why they are forced to ask for it but I hope they get it just to help make their job slightly easier.
Support your local law enforcement folks, put a thin blue line sticker on your car....go by the local station and just tell them you appreciate them....donate to your local Police Association.....their job sucks. I promise you would miss them greatly very quickly if they all quit tomorrow.
Ok my rant is over.....I just cannot fathom people.
Peace, good luck and yall be safe
What would the world or this nation be without exceptionalism?
What is it anyway?
Exceptionalism:
1. The condition of being exceptional or unique.
2. The theory or belief that something, especially a nation, does not conform to a pattern or norm.
That's the consensus opinion of the establishment Academia. Some variation of that will be found in any mainstream dictionary. I believe the secondary definition to be contradictory in some respects. It begs the question of who decides what the normal pattern is?
In today's society it's slowly being twisted into a negative. Somehow being exceptional as a country or individual is wrong.
Problem is, if no one or no person is exceptional, the term exceptionalism no longer has a definition does it? In fact that feeds into socialism, marxism, and the general PC equality movement in which everyone is 'equal'.
Exceptionalism has to go if 'equality' is to be the mantra of the day. 100% equality cannot be achieved as long as one 'exceptional' individual exist. One negates the other.
The modern method for achieving equality is not to promote and motivate people to higher standards, but rather to reduce them artificially to the lowest common denominator. In my eyes, that is 100% grade A bovine gastrointestinal effluence.
Let's use three people for an example.
Person 1 is exceptionally fit, can run up hill 200 yards carrying a person on their back. They are not the brightest star in the sky, but they have keen reflexes, good vision, hearing, etc along with better than average strength and agility.
Person 2 is exceptionally bright. Can do matrix math in their head, advanced calculus, etc. However, they are weak of body through either bad genetics or other physical limitation.
Person 3 is somewhere in the middle of person one and two in all abilities but one. This person has a linguistic skill that far exceeds the other two. They speak, write, read, twelve languages fluently. The best either of the other two can do is three conversationally.
Now we take three positions. A nuclear physicist, a fire fighter, and an interpreter. Who should get what job? The PC world would lower the standards of all so that all could get any of them. Person 3 ends up with their hands on a nuclear plant control panel, person one ends up interpreting between China and Russia, and person two ends up fighting fires....
Sounds like a plan right????
So how does the establishment get everyone to go along? Guilt, brow beating, identity shaming, and a host of other faux bs social manipulation. I've got a left middle finger, and most of a right middle finger for that crap.
Bottom line is, the anti-exceptionalism movement is the PC movement in disguise. Other than window dressing, they are essentially the same.
I will not, nor should anyone else feel or be made to feel, guilty for those things I or they are exceptional at doing. A society and the people of that society should embrace those things that they are exceptional at, not damn them to the realm of mediocrity.
Topic Chit-Chat & Non-Welding Discussion / Off-Topic Bar and Grill / PC crowd go elsewhere...such a sad day in this land.
