Reflections of An Uncommon Common Man

  This question has been pondered by historians for years. The question that is asked, however; is always what if the South had won the Civil War. This is convenient for leftist historians. They can pit North against South when it was actually a war between the Democrat party and Republican party. It was a war that is still going on today and the Republican's are losing badly. They won on the battlefield but have lost the peace. Matter of fact they are on the verge of losing the country. This interpretation of history allows the left to cover up for a multitude of sins and to project these sins upon the modern Republican party and Constitutional conservatives like myself. It enables them to tell the big lie that yes the Democrat party was the party of slavery, the Trail Of Tears, lynching, the formation of the Ku Klux Klan, and Jim Crow but that all changed during the 1960's. The Republican's and Constitutional conservatives became the racists after the passage of the 196...

  It was August 1968, and a broiling hot day at Lackland AFB Texas.

I never hit the bottle.. Now, I was getting ready to fire an M-16 rifle capable of both semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. If there is such...

 I will never forget the day in the Spring of 1971, while stationed at Erhac Turkey, We had just returned from the firing range and were cleaning our weapons. There was a group of us, both black and white Security Policemen, gathered in a trailer and talking about our favorite singers as we worked. One of our group was a white guy that we nicknamed "Pilgrim" because he was from Massachusetts. Someone said that their favorite singer was James Brown. Incredibly Pilgrim blurted out. ""I don't like James Brown. He's a nigger". Suddenly all of the air was sucked out of the room for a moment. All of us, black and white, turned and looked at him in a state of shock. Pilgrim continued cleaning his rifle as if he was unaware of what he had just said. Then he suddenly looked up with an aw shit look on his face as the realization of where he was at and what he had said hit home . Just then all hell broke loose as some of the blacks closest to Pilgrim trie...
