Militia = Legal & Prudent, Why Hide?

[cheapseats]

Also, the ex-military here are by far the best people to present this. People in enforcement positions have a lot more respect for someone who once in a similar position.

That's what I figgered, too.

Um a fireteam's a fairly simple concept these days isn't it?

1.Basically a fireteams a 4 person team including a squad leader

2.Then that squad leader communicates with another leader in a similar 4 man squad to provide cover, suppression, and flanking.

3. The exact setup varies slightly per military service.

Anyway, you need a good leader and still need to able to operate if you pair off or have a team member knocked out for whatever reason.

Four of 'em, glad-handing the public. Gettin' down to stroller level with the Moms 'n Babes, shaking the hands of the elderly. The person I was meeting thought it was absolutely no big deal, though we have been to hundreds of movies together without ever seeing it. Me, I don't dig it.

If soldiers are required on Friday, how am I supposed to feel safe on Monday when the soldiers move on to their next Public Relations Opportunity?

That has to be one of the most moronic, narcissistic rants I have heard.

Some writing tips so you don't sound like a blog only 4 people read.

1. Nobody cares about YOUR adventure and what YOU saw. Descriptives are for moving things along, not distractions that are intended to make seem "observant."
2. If you are going to spend time distracting your readers the payoff should be worth it.
3. Is it worth doing?

To take these three steps into consideration to what you have written will do you wonders. I have helped you along with this instructional breakdown.

For what you wrote:

Logline: Pseudo-intellectual narcissist goes to a mall and sees GI's on pass shopping, she wonders how to use the scene in condemnation.

Rewrite:
GI's on pass at a local mall are unwittingly stalked by a nutjob. Things come to a climax when the nutjob takes a picture of them from behind and imagines contextualizing it in a political context to disguise desperate vanity.


Hopefully this helps.

Or if you prefer: Go fuck yourself, moron.

I was amused. Why would I bother continuing to talk to you when you are clearly insane, and refuse to take my advice anyway? Here is a hint. Gossip is when you talk about someone when you know they cant hear you.

I still think you should invest in some therapy.

Says the man who indulges in mental masturbation by penning pamphlets, signed Chosen, the length and vocabulary of which clearly exceed the probable attention span and intellect of his audience but which handsomely showcase his mental prowess.

See, I was thinking that -- what with everyone rightly fretting about the trampling of civil rights and the possible imposition of marshal law -- that sightings of Active Military in non-traditional urban environments was noteworthy. Silly me.

That you do not like my style does not require public remark, unless criticizing me helps bolster that mammoth ego of yours.

You are mean as well as insecure.

1. You are not helping me.
2. You are an intellectual snob, a spiritual fraud AND a mean man.
3. You hurling the accusation of narcissistic, Pamphlet Man, is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. PLUS you're mean.
5. NOWHERE do I condemn our Military. Your insecurity incites recklessness.

Nope, doesn't help me. But perhaps it amuses you and your good ol' boy cronies, who garnered roughly FIVE PERCENT of the vote, even in an election that reduced more than ever to the Lesser of Evils.

Or if you prefer: Go fuck yourself, moron.

Devastated as I am, I'll scratch you off the list of possible partners.

We'll meet again, though, I expect -- perhaps on the Appleseed circuit, where I will unfailingly report to whomever asks how I come to be there about my run-ins with some punks who COULD have dissuaded me had I been the type to be intimidated by Assholes.

You stay out of my way and I'll return the favor, that oughtta work.

The two exceptions that I think should exist to universal arms ownership is 1. violent felons, and 2. the mentally retarded and insane.

The last thing Appleseed needs is your wacky ass out there with a rifle.

One more thing sad it's a triple post.

Also, the ex-military here are by far the best people to present this. People in enforcement positions have a lot more respect for someone who once in a similar position. Though, even they have been losing this status. How, do you deny the rights of someone who has supposedly defended those rights? Most anti-war vets or political dissenters are seen as unpatriotic. It's a terrible dichotomy, now. I think a documentary could also bring that to light.

And it needs to be ex-military with some authority that can't be dismissed and turned into a whacky vet McVeigh. There are many company grade officers who left active duty, who are disgusted with the generals who sell out, that would be a good source of credibility.

In my case, I'm making friends with other ex combat arms types with ARs, and we have much of our gear, so we tend to look like an active army unit from the late '90s just strolling by. I figure anybody who recognizes that will get the message. We are all constrained for time, so we don't have non prior service types, because we don't have the time to conduct basic training. We are getting ourselves organized first.

America is very big on giving innocuous names to calamities. Katrina belies the awesomeness of that hurricane, y'know? The "bursting of the housing bubble" doesn't quite size up the dilemma.

Bursting of bubbles is conceptually sad but it SOUNDS kinda bittersweet -- like popping the soapy bubbles that we chased as kidlets, "uh oh, all gone." Or like learning there is no Santa Claus.

Better to think of having chewed three pieces of Bazooka bubble gum into a pliant mass and blowing THAT sucker up . . . bigger and bigger and unsustainably bigger, thinner and thinner and explosively thin, and continuing to blow heedlessly despite knowledge that it will be messier and messier when it inevitably bursts.

Seeing how Cheapseats is answering his own posts, I finally see what happens when people talk to themselves and start getting answers.

With people like that, the militia will need to hide.

 

[cheapseats]

I think the ignore feature is a fine idea. Where is it?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Sweet relief.

I was amused. Why would I bother continuing to talk to you when you are clearly insane, and refuse to take my advice anyway?

Why DO you bother, when you have previously asserted in your characteristically smart-alecky way that you will ignore me.

Is it that you have no self-restraint, or that you are not a man of your word?

I don't take your advice because I do not respect you.

Here is a hint. Gossip is when you talk about someone when you know they cant hear you.

And here's a hint for you. When you start spouting off in the real world, under your real name, you'll be more circumspect with what you say about whom and to whom, or your legal career will be inglorious at best.

And here's a prediction. Because I am not a turner of cheeks but a settler of scores, I predict that the attentions I will bring to bear on Kalifornia-with-a-k, both online and on the Appleseed circuit, will motivate you to change your screen name when you join the Bar OR to maintain two SEPARATE online presences, your True Line-Towing Hair-Splitting Up-And-Comer Lawyer/Taxpayer I.D., and your Tough Talking Gun Owner persona.

I still think you should invest in some therapy.

Elsewhere, you claim to be "honest to a fault." If you honestly believe that a person is so mentally disturbed as to urgently require therapeutic intervention, do you ridicule them in public or do you send them a discreet message about your concerns? I remind you, punk, that we ARE on the same side -- whether you like it or not.

Do you honk at cripples in crosswalks for casual merriment?

If I elect to make a case for receipt of disability, owing to the stridently held view of certain Big Swinging Dicks that I am insane, I shall particularly cite the assessment of soon-to-be-barrister Kalifornia-with-a-k.

 

[cheapseats]

Seeing how Cheapseats is answering his own posts...

Er, that would be largely because Doktor-with-a-k_Jeep deigns to magnanimously answer only questions posed by guys who defer to him and otherwise tow his line.

Father knows best, dontcha know.

I finally see what happens when people talk to themselves and start getting answers.

No, sadly, you don't. I can help, and you have established yourself as an adversary -- for no reason other than your own ego and insecurity. Shame on you, ya big Bully.

With people like that, the militia will need to hide.

But there's some dissension in the ranks of the well-regulated militia, isn't there? With you, not surprisingly, coming down on the old skool sekrecry side.

Are not some of your colleagues validating sentiments like mine, and like this fellow's? I'd say 'fess up'...but I guess we're doin' the Hatfield & McCoy thing.

I am 29, fit, well trained, well versed as a woodsman/hunter/survivalist, and my b.o.b. is packed, well stocked/outfitted and ready..... Though I have known our government was out of control since I was a teenager I have only been fully AWAKE for a year now. My question/statement is directed at the so called militias/revolutionist/and other wanna be bada**es that puff out their chest and proclaim the necessity of their existance and that the revolution is coming. Am I anti-militia? Not a chance, I am all for em, welcoming of them in fact. My question is....Where the h*ll are you guys? You all went into hiding in the 90's and we haven't heard much since. Now I can understand some secrecy in this day of undercover agents and infiltrators, but come on. If you guys were anything more than weekend warriors and big talkers we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with. If you guys had been serving your purpose all along this problem would have been resolved long before my time. So where the h*ll are you? I'm here, I know others like me are out there and actually willing to get out from behind their keyboard and do whatever is necessary as individuals to restore this nation/protect our citizens from tyranny and we are waiting for you to lead the charge. Us individuals can not organize ourselves without being found, but you are supposedly already organized, ready, and willing....so where are you? We need you now more than ever yet I haven't even heard the word militia mentioned in along time, not even by the enemy. Let me guess, you are in ultra super underground hiding and about the finish your plans to save the world and we'll all see right???? LMAO. You know they are about to drop 20,000 troops on us to police/condition us right? I will engage them as soon as I see them....where will you be? They destroyed our nation with the North American Trade agreement....where were you? They have attacked innocent/non violent protesters....where were you? They have destroyed our constitution....where were you? Are you waiting for your local news anchor to suddenly annouce that all is lost and we need you??? Not going to happen. What are you waiting for? Some of us are willing to do more than just survive sitx, some of are willing to shake things up, but we can't do it alone as individuals. I think you all are a bunch of big talking, over the hill, retired national guard reservist, and each day you are begining to appear to be nothing more than what you have been made out to be by the media. Say it aint so, prove me wrong, make me eat my words....if you do you may find you have more back-up than you think. At this point I can only hope that what I read somewhere about the Marines is true. I read something to the effect that they pride themselves as being seperate from the other branches of armed forces and that their oath is to protect our people and consititution above all else even if it contradicts orders from the president...that if poop hits the fan they will not engage their own people even if in defiance of direct orders....any truth to this????? I sure hope so.

There is no revolution, no day of reckoning, only me running and surviving.

Any takers, or is it just speculators here?

Is it that you have no self-restraint, or that you are not a man of your word?

I HAVE been ignoring you. I laugh because someone calls you out in a funny way and that means I have some kind of character flaw?

I don't take your advice because I do not respect you.

the feeling is mutual.

And here's a hint for you. When you start spouting off in the real world, under your real name, you'll be more circumspect with what you say about whom and to whom, or your legal career will be inglorious at best.

you dont know what the hell you are talking about. If I met someone who acted like you in real life, I'd speak just as I do to you here. Whatever your opinion of the profession of law is, it is clearly incorrect. yes, decorum in the court room is required, but that doest mean I need to wear a muzzle when faced with a douche.

And here's a prediction. Because I am not a turner of cheeks but a settler of scores, I predict that the attentions I will bring to bear on Kalifornia-with-a-k, both online and on the Appleseed circuit, will motivate you to change your screen name when you join the Bar OR to maintain two SEPARATE online presences, your True Line-Towing Hair-Splitting Up-And-Comer Lawyer/Taxpayer I.D., and your Tough Talking Gun Owner persona.

That made me chuckle a little bit, even though that sounds alot like a threat, o 'settler of scores'. should I invest in some kevlar shirts?

If you honestly believe that a person is so mentally disturbed as to urgently require therapeutic intervention, do you ridicule them in public or do you send them a discreet message about your concerns?

You arent on the same side as me. You embarass me. I dont know you or like you well enough to whisper to you.

Do you honk at cripples in crosswalks for casual merriment?

You wont need my cite, Im sure 50 others on this forum will attest to your strange behavior.

It would be good if you just stick to your inane ramblings and quit addressing me directly, so I can go back to ignoring you.

 

[cheapseats]

Don't bother getting your panties in a bunch. Im expressing an opinion which does not imply that you are in any way immoral or an unclean person, so your reputation is safe. Plus, truth is a defense,

The two exceptions that I think should exist to universal arms ownership is 1. violent felons, and 2. the mentally retarded and insane.

The last thing Appleseed needs is your wacky ass out there with a rifle.

You still think you got the inside track on slander, Counselor?

Here's what I think. I think that either Kalifornia-with-a-k or the nice lady at Appleseed didn't get a memo. Therefore, anticipatory to registering for each Appleseed event, I will inquire pointedly about their bona fide welcome of city-slicker novices such as myself, citing Kalifornia-with-a-k's public ridicule of my proposed attendance.

I am made acquainted with your organization via a liberty-oriented message board. After a lifetime of indifference to guns, changes in the euphemistic "Conditions On The Ground" suggest that gun ownership and weapons training is now a matter of prudent responsibility for all American Citizens.

While I am interested in attending the RBC in your state, I am unclear whether Total Novices are welcome and, if they are, what is the protocol regarding a rifle? It is difficult to imagine that you loan them out like tennis rackets or golf clubs, but it is even more difficult to imagine that Total Novices shall go out and buy rifles sans knowledge or experience. Kindly advise.

"Happy New Year" always tended toward canned insincerity, but now it's ridiculous. Best of luck to all of us in 2009 -- we'll need it.

We do welcome the total novice. There is something for everybody at an Appleseed or RBC, no matter what your skill level, everybody will learn a lot. Total novices are often better because they have no bad habits to unlearn. I was like that and shot Rifleman my first weekend.

As far as a rifle is concerned, our instructors often have what we call Liberty Training Rifles that they are willing to loan out. They are basically a Ruger 10/22 that they've tweaked with tech sights to look and feel more like a M14. Since it's a .22 it's much cheaper to shoot for training but the skills you learn will apply to all types of rifles. If you are needing a rifle to use, please let me know so I can get you in contact with somebody that has one to lend.

Thanks,

OF COURSE, ya moron.

The point is that MOST people aren't compelled to announce their FEELINGS, the way you are. It's like you have emotional Tourettes.

Perfect for a lawyer. You can keep BOTH sides hoppin' mad, until their money runs out.

LOL, please just let me know which events to stay away from. After your recent threats to pursue me through the appleseed 'circuit', Id hate to catch a .22 in the back.

Otherwise, I will be careful to avoid any events where armed people are wandering around asking themselves questions and then answering them.

Dude, ALL YOU DO is prattle on incessantly. You could use a nice big cup of shut the fuck up. If you didnt have such a bad case of the random mouth runs, we wouldnt even be talking to each other. I wouldnt have felt the need to ask you to be a little less crazy, and you wouldnt be all pissed off.

See how that works?

I PROMISE you, if you quit addressing me, you will never have the displeasure of having me address you again. I have come to realize that criticizing your craziness just makes you even crazier.
