Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

I hope this posts.

Last night I wrote like a ball of fire..if one could write...and it was lost. I wrote a post defending the reputation of my neighbors of Haywood County N.C. I'm talking about East Waynesville Bapstist Church incedent. Now, I'm not defending the Church, but the Community that surrrounds it. Mean, Prejeduce, and Hateful comments have been directed at them. The Web Site Waynesville Live hosts a bulletin board where many of the comments have been placed. The Town Officials have received mail as well.

There is something about the story we don't know. That's the feeling I have. Origanaly I wasn't going to bring it up, though I did make a statment over at A.Q's Place when he commented on it. I am here because the town is getting a bad rap over the internal actions of a Church. In my opinion, from Democrat/Socialsits that give any one a bad rap who doesn't fit into their world veiw. Not, nescacarily John Kerry Voters. I know very nice people who voted for Sen. Kerry that would never say such a thing. I'm talking about the hard core blinded by hate Democrat/Socialist that are no different than the Neocon's* that they despise. Now, I will get off of my soap box, but, I'm staying on my mountain. Such people do not understand Rural America(The South in paticular) so they despise Rural America.

The people of Haywood County are just as good as any. Yes, you Cold Mountian** fans...your beloved Haywood. Mountain People are potrayed as being Backwards and Ignorant. They are not. At least no more than your neighborhood. Any more at least a third of the people living in these mountains are transplants.

All Right enough for the night. Point Blank...the comments directed at the folks over there are unjustified and uncalled for. Regardless of what happened.
Now, I was going to feel you in on good stuff tonight and look what I had to do.
I need to finish writing a Marriage Proposal to Natasha

* Republicrats you know. **To my knowledge there was no town of Cold Mountian. The nearest Community is Cruso. Pretty place. I havn't read the book. These mountains were a meaner place during that time than the movie let's on.

A couple of points

1. There is ALWAYS more to the story.

2. If Natasha spurns you, send her my way.

3. I have learned with long posts to copy the thing to clipboard, transplant it over to a word document and THEN hit the publish button. Usually the post will publish, but when it ozones, you can just paste it back in verbatim and try again.

4. And lastly, please don't "feel" me in on anything. (Unless, of course, you have soft hands. Then we'll negotiate.)
