Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

This guy is fantastic! Finally – a sane argument for dealing with the realities of these terrible events.
That is Colion Noir, he’s excellent. He’s a lawyer, gun rights activist and he’s with the NRA.
I endorse everything he said; but then, I’m also in the NRA and a gun rights activist, so that makes sense!
What has more metal, a tablet or a glock?
MORE gov’t employees with guns, eh?
Why does anyone send their kids to gov’t run shooting galleries?
Been following Colion for about three years. Found him off a link at Hickok45. This is his most brilliant statement by far. He’s hated by all the right people.
I am thinking @ how the govt failed so miserably at Parkland that it makes our argument for us. The FBI, which is the highest echelon law enforcement in the nation, and the sheriff’s dept., who are the most local authority, failed utterly. The school already was under a total gun ban, I am sorry to say.
My point is that the best echelon for defense is a personal one. The kids themselves are probably 99% incapable of that level of responsibility (perhaps in the Fifties, there may’ve been 10% capable of this in Florida, and perhaps 15-25% so capable in Wyoming and North Dakota), and so that leaves the closest level of responsibility with the administration and the teachers.
There are military veterans on the staffs of every school in America. We are such fools for resisting the plain answer to school defense, and it is because of the liberal mindset that brooks nothing short of total disarmament of the population as the only answer. While they’re at it, the libs may as well go out and sweep up all of the stars in the universe; such is their level of OCD. These are the people who walk down the street in NYC, and pick up every piece of garbage they run into. It’s their job, you see.
If you think I’m joking, consider their approach to global weather. They know exactly what will happen, and they have all the answers for the weather. BTW, how is your thinking today on the races? What are your thoughts on women? Homosexuals? The Left is particularly interested in what you think today.
Oh. I forgot. We need to defend our kids in school…
The control freaks may be overstepping their bounds:

Jordan Peterson makes Casey’s point eloquently, and understands profoundly the personality damage that causes leftists to project their inadequacies onto everybody else. Absolutely not to be missed.
This is an excellent rational look at the current frenzy to bring more insanity into our lives.
BUT, let me tell you my take on liberal thought. Since the liberal’s currently being mentioned solution to the abundance of noxious addictive drugs is to de-criminalize them, I am waiting for Pelosi or Maxi Pad to make a crazy eyed statement about how we need to de-criminalize murders in school and how that will stop them!
You need people with guns at the point of attack. Metal detector, yeah. That will create a line at the metal detector. The killer will kill the kids standing in line. Because you are 100% correct, these guys are thinking and planning and adapting and kids are always late to school, lines will form, target of opportunity.
We all need to be a hard target. Don’t get me wrong because I think youre right. But metal detectors are not the answer. The only answer is us taking the responsibility to protect ourselves and those we are responsible for at the point of attack. Guvment has demonstrated in the Parkland shooting that it is not up to the task. We are.
“We are.”

No, “we” are not. Obviously.
Please note that the (witch) governor of Oregon has signed a new law where Oregon can now confiscate your firearm if it is “dangerous.” That’s right; no due process (FISA-like) and you’re effed of your 2A rights if someone, even a cop, gets an overnight kangaroo judgement based on the simple fact that your firearm goes pow.
I was discussing this with my smart wife and she made the observation that the application of this will be to go after the marginals. That means, people outside of the I-5 and Portland corridor; ranchers, hayseeds, conservatives. The state will pick off members of the herd that straggle.
There are 2 sets of laws. The ones for liberals, and the ones for Americans. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
