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.

Electioned Out

I've been turning down the radio and walking away from TV Commercials. Chances are, you have too. Every time we turn around some politician is trying to sell us Snake Oil. And, that is what you are being sold, Snake Oil. Drink it and you will feel healthy wealthy and wise...Never mind that churning in your gut...Just drink it.

Well, Joe Tax Payer is now $700 Billion poorer than he was before, and when all the little dividends are added up, it'll be more than that. No matter what Tax Scheme we wind up with, we will wind up paying for it. It's a done deal, and even after the bailout we were told would make things better, they're still spinning. Joe Taxpayer is just going to have to buckle down and make the best out of it. Follow this link, it says allot.

I'm going to leave it alone. I'm going to shut up and not say a word about the whole mess. I do this, because, we deserve some peace.

I'll just cling to my Guns and Religion

Pretty soon Joe Taxpayer is going to be so poor, instead of Palin calling us Joe 6-Pack, she'll be calling us Ole Milwaukee Joe

Actually I wish they would sell us snake oil. That would be a refreshing change from the 'he said, he said' stuff.

Murf,snake oil probably tastes about the same.

Max, thanks. If you want to link me, go ahead. I don't know how many places I'm linked. I can't see your blog, so I'll just leave it be on my end.
