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.

Location: Brevard, North Caroilina

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.

Hill Billy Rave I

You want Plott Hounds and Black & Tans howling across mountain sides. You want Blood Trails and a cornered Hog or treed Bear. You want hot Gun Barrels...All the thrill of the chase. Your not getting it. Not now.

Twister complained to me that he received a letter from The Macon County Board of Elections stating that The Libertarian Party was being taken off of the Ballot. We both agreed to check into it. Little did I know that while I was away at Ft.McClellan I received the same letter from The Transylvania County Board of Elections. When I got back I sorted through my mail picking out financial things and setting the rest aside(Junk was thrown out of course). The letter was covered up and I found it last night. It stated that The Libertarian Party did not receive enough votes to be on the Ballot and I had six weeks to affiliate myself with a party or I would be registered as "Unafilliated". A quick check to The Libertarian Party of North Carolina revealed that they are suing the State over the issue. We're being taken off of the Ballot despite 13,000 registered Libertarians.
To say the least I'm "Unafiliated" at the moment. This is nothing more than a modern day Jim Crow Law designed to give the Republicrats a Monopoly on Politics in the State. Let's see here, you can vote for the Left Wing Socialist and his Cultural Marxism dogma or the Knee Jerker and his Pseudo Conservativism. Heck of a choice. Well having to choose between Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, both undermining the Constitution(One blantantly and the other unknowingly) is not what I consider healthy for my country. Now taking I did vote for President Bush as did many of my fellow Libertarians, sKerry was too close for comfort. But, 13,000 registered Libertarians?
I'm not about to take it laying down. Raleigh is in for a fight.

Who says that "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History"? Rosa Parks was a genuine Lady, humble but strong. She didn't give her seat up and I wouldn't either. The above statement only shows the left's idea of "Well Behaved" is standing in line keeping your mouth shut. Rest in Peace Rosa.

As for the first little paragraph...Back for the attack Saturday!

Don't you know nothin's ever gonna change if we never make it happen....

Pretty decent band there, AI. Plus, I think I heard a Skynard lick in there towards the end. :-)

Good luck staying registered Libertarian. Just curious, how many total registered voters in NC?

Major Thanks to you, Gun Trash. It's not so much as being registered Libertarian as much as the Party being allowed on the Ballot. Honestly I can't tell you how many voters we have. Registered that is. Sounds like a mission for a search engine.

I like your sentiment. I registered as a Republican, but am not completely proud of the fact. Anyway, I can vote however I want.

If I didn't tend to fall asleep so easily at briefings I might just run for President myself. "What should we do, Mr. President?" "About whut?" "About Iran, sir." "Aw hell. Don't do nothing til after Survivor: Guatemala. I love that show." "Yes, sir."

See, no hassle, no unecessary war. I'm a natural.

By the way, what's up, Sir? I think you either a) quit fooling with us about your spelling abilities or b) started using a spell checker. It's cool. I just wanted you to know we noticed.

Those are long hours! You are at work when I am going to bed (due to the time change) these days, lately. I've never needed lots of sleep, thankfully!

In order to vote,(Washington) you have to name a Party to which belong...I had/have a huge problem with this. I considered myself a Democrat for many years...but I voted Republican for the Presidency. For Governor, voted Democrat. Gone are the days, where you vote by the Party. And with the changes put into effect in this state...I sure hope I filled the ballot out correctly!

AGT I'm feeling it.

Janie, don't say that it makes me even more tired.

Your right. The two major Political Parties are going to have to realise that hardly anyone is voting a straight ticket.

Hate to say it but if you don't vote Libertarian you're wasting your time registering as one. Niether Republicans nor democrats will worry about the Libertarians as long as they keep giving in and voting for one of the big two.
