Hunter's --- Interesting

The world's largest army?   America's hunters..

Strength of the 2nd Amendment..

I don't spend my fall weekends tramping around the woods in pursuit of a buck, any more, but a lot of my friends and neighbors do. This blogger adds up all the hunters in just a handful of states, and comes to a striking conclusion:

The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That's great. There were over 600,000 hunters. Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to help keep the deer menace at bay. But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would
comprise the largest army in the world. His point? America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that
kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security.

However when conisdered against the NSA surveillance grid, night vision goggles, white phosphorus bombs and depleted uranium the armies of either the U.S. or Israel would devastate not only the American hunters but all of the deer in a few days time.

The lingering affects of the depleted uranium and other biological weapons used against the civillian population would be unbelievable horrors within 2 generations. Unable to reproduce or grow crops, the U.S. would be a wasteland after just a few short "battles" with these modern armies.

This is why it is so difficult to understand why the Americans and Israelis haven't yet "won" the wars. The most logical conclusion is that we aren't trying to "win". We are merely trying to continue endless war for its profits sake.

The United States has 2 very profitable industries: War and Medicine. The wars aren't meant to ever end, and the medicine isn't meant to cure any illness.

10:08 you forgot the prison industry, hence locking people up for the smallest of crimes. We all need to keep feeding these beasts!

We'll never be successfully invaded. We don't spray and pray like other people. 1 shot, 1 kill.

To 10:08 a.m. got back and play your Halo 10 game. Call your sister on your shoe. lol Why would we destroy the mother land. The point being made is that a Free America should stay just that free. The right to bear arms and well hunt is great freedom. Though we seem so fragmented as a people we really have much in common.

I say live free or die. Yes i am one of those hunters. I have served this country in the past and wouls serve it agin with honor.

I will Not give up my arms. I will not live in fear of my own elected goverment. So Mr. Ohbama remember this country stood long before you and I were born. Try not to f**k it up anymore than you already have. Oh yea last but no least show your freakin birth certificate ??

10:08 makes a good point. most likely we will be attacked by those who are related to us. I can imagine the military, police and guard attacking the citizens for not paying the taxes or taking mandatory vaccines etc. I can easily imagine Americans rioting in the street because of austerity measures when the govt can't collect enough taxes because so few people work etc We will be attacked by those we know - not any nation on the planet. No country will ever attack us and why would they want to? What do we have that they would want? Our soldiers dont' fight to defend us. They fight wars of agression for profit.

The scenario's being discussed here were unthinkable 30-40 years ago...the U.S. military possibly attacking American citizens? Military grade weapons and tactics being used against civilians? All-out 24-7 monitoring and surveillance of our citizens? Secret arrests, trials, and imprisonment of Americans? Military drills on our soil, training for civil insurrection? All true. All documented and reported on by news organizations such as CNN, ABC, the BBC, etc. You better believe its coming. They (the government) know it and do their best to discount it and ridicule the reports. Smart people are getting ready. Just like they are.

2:03....how about YOU remove your blindfold first? How much does this government need to do in order to even ALARM you? Drive our economy into the dirt to the point that we cannot EVER repay our debts and now have other nations lecturing us about our reckless spending....pass laws like the Patriot Act (what a misnomer!) that openly and without apology strips citizens of the rights GUARANTEED (not any more!) by the Constitution...gives hundreds of billions of dollars to huge financial entities (so they don't "fail") while allowing millions of citizens to lose their homes and livelihoods....Congress openly debating how they can censor and control news that they don't think we need to hear....I think that blindfold is pushing your eyes so far back into your head that you're not getting enough light...literally and figuratively..
