America seems to be doomed at the moment. We can bring about change. It is not about electing a man because of his color or how deep your pockets are. It is about getting closer GOD and HIS teachings. The further we stray from GOD the more we will deteriorate. No one can really argue this considering people are straying from HIS teachings and the world just gets worse
Would you relax if ... ( 2 weeks ago by Beefbonger)
Would you relax if a paramilitary/mercenary training camp were next door to you? Recall that these guys are beyond the law overseas, what do you think would happen when the first civilian gets beat or raped by a drunken "soldier" down there?

I have to laugh at your reply to my post! No one is going to get raped or anything else! These men are prior Military and Law Enforcement. Another words, they are good Americans, not Liberal Californians! I would not care if a training center was next to me. Hell Ill sell them 65 acres right now! Besides, I shoot at least once a week.

No offense friend, ... ( 2 weeks ago by Beefbonger)
No offense friend, but I've been around the US and the world myself to know that soldiers and policemen aren't exactly the best diplomats and law-abiding people. The fact that Blackwater is above-the-law overseas scares the hell out of me knowing that they can be deployed in the USA... I know someone who "serves" in Blackwater and even though he's a hell of an American, I sure as hell wouldn't trust him alone with my niece...

Check the California constitution and see if an arm Militia can legally operate in your state. Thats what these people are, nothing more.

Look, Im not saying all these guys are perfect. Would you trust your niece in LA, PHX, or any other major metropolitan area? Hell no you wouldnt. I can speak from personal experience that 99.9% of all cops are good people. Fire fighters are the ones you have to look out for, LOL!
LOL... OK I see ... ( 2 weeks ago by Beefbonger)
LOL... OK I see what you are saying. My biggest concern and one I should have concerned in my first post is the existence of a private army in general. As an ancient historian, I know the "mercenary" groups, no matter their intentions have always tended to be a major threat. As Blackwater has tended to be above the law overseas, what if they were deployed in America after a major accident, or hired as a personal bodyguard to a President (regardless of party lines) who wants a few more terms...
We can what if ... ( 2 weeks ago by pa226p)
We can what if anything to death all day long. I personally do not react emotionally to anything. Remember, there were many mercenaries on both sides in the Revolutionary war. Have you ever lived next to a military base? What does the military teach to kill, and thats ok. Remember, Governments have murdered millions of their citizenry, Stalin, Hitler and so-on. I would worry about radical governments before a few contractors.

Al JAZEERA may say things that you and I think is asinine but they are honestly to best example of democracy in that part of the world... because everyone hates them from the U.S.A. to the fringe Islamic militants... no opinion is discouraged there and that makes it extremely democratic...
Friend, yes I do ... ( 2 weeks ago by Beefbonger)
Friend, yes I do tend to be emotional about certain issues, just my way I suppose. Yes, I've lived near Ft Lewis in Tacoma as well as several others on Okinawa. I understand your point about radical governments, but I would also stress that "radical" is a very relative term... and most assuredly not one that can be applied to any particular political ideology or party... there are quite a few in Iraq that would argue this mercenary army has been in the hands of such a "radical" government...

Ummm OK. Now exactly what year did they kick you out of Grade School for being unable to spell your name correctly? It's just tflat out scary that you can own a gun in this fine land without having the IQ to tie your shoes. Keep pushing those sheep through the fence their Jr...
