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.

Now this video is a tad long, a little over five minutes. Lots of cameo appearances and historical qoutes.

Now, go ahead, get mad at me. Some one needs to rock the boat. In the usual order of things, you are not getting the word, as the second video explains.

In this election thing...It's a shame we have to get so rapped up in Federal Elections...If you think the News coverage is so lopp sided trying being one of the other guys. And this is the guy I intend to cast my ballot for, Bob Barr with Wayne Allen Root as his VP.

Now after this I intend to move on to other things. So, bare with me. Freedom of Speech. It's not about cursing.


Ballot Access


So, if you have the connection, now you know. Vote however you like.

Dan, it started with FDR and then LBJ added even more socialism in the mix. Now more than a few expect the guvmint to be the answer to their individual problems.

It's sickening.

I'm responsible for my choices and all I want the government to do is build roads, defend our country, police my neighborhood and that's it.

However, there's a lot of my neighbors who think otherwise. It's a constant struggle to stop the government becoming more and more and more involved in our personal lives.

While I agree with what Bob Barr stands for, I think he's this election's Ross Perot. He'll only take votes from McCain which means a vote for whatever piece of sh*t the Democrats foist on us.

If I thought he had a chance, I'd vote for him.

Gunner, I wouldn't go as far as calling them that.

Now between the sherade of the big two, McCain is a more honest, and up right. I beleive he has more convictions and less ideology.

Which is what the democrats foist at us...less convictions and more ideology.

To be honest, allot of people are not going to vote for McCain because he's a republican. Allot are going to because he is a republican.

Honestly, I think that he won't damage McCain as much as Obama.

I'll just have to finish the comment later.

Computer still on fritz.

I reckon I ought to finish...

Simply allot of folks are afraid MCCain willbe BushIII. Yeah, maybe. I don't think a significant change anyway.

Obama, Jimmy Carter on steroids. Except thin skinned,piaoused (spelling?)and all those that oppose him will be labled a racist.

Now, yellow dogs aside, interject a strong, stand up for whats right (Though may not always agree with him) canidate, that has the courage to say "I feel I was wrong and have therefore changed my mind", instead of checking the polls...And well, some folks may pay attention to him. Those that just want regime change may opt for something other than "citizen of the world".

This really is a PATHETIC election, we could talk about that for days. Things are never going to change if we don't make them.

Oh, that time again...Computer needs professional help.

I like the film. Unfortunately I have such bad memories of Barr as a congressman that I find it really difficult cast my support his way.

McCain as Bush III? I seriously doubt it. Anyone who seriously looks at their history and relationship can see there are HUGE differences between them.

ExMI, being a Georgian, you have Barr memories. Feel free to share.

I don't see a sifnificant change because looking at how we have come along over the last few Presidents and Congress's...And thanks to the lame media, it's hard to see between McCain and Obama for that matter. They want to talk about candy bars and shoes.
But, I don't think it would be BushIII either, McCain is more of an idividual than that..And Obama less so. Besides, they are just men. Congress has hands in it too as well. It would be the last four all over. We'd be the world cop, dragged into socialism, taxed to tears and regulated into chains at either a slower or a faster rate.

I gotta get gone, I have to go to a Bgd Change of Command in the morning, and the computer is on the lame, so no typing back too soon on my part.
