We can whup up on any other country and do whatever we want, whenever we want? We can ignore the United Nations?

Yikes! There I go sounding like an arrogant American.

Ignore the UN? Sheesh - even North Korea can do that! Perhaps the US can try whupping (sic) on them - they actually have WMDs and have nothing to lose.

It's that USA 'swagger' that has helped end tyranny around the world.

As the song goes, God Bless the USA

He's talking about the redneck, hillbilly song by Lee Greenwood I think. It's the one that includes the eloquent line "there ain't no doubt I love this land" . You have to keep in mind that he's singing to his target audience I guess.

This is from someone from Minnesohda (As Governor Body Slam would say)

Yes it is. What difference does that make? Not enough rednecks here for you? Try going south and look for Bubba's with their shotguns mounted in the rear windshield of their pick-'em-up trucks, oh and maybe a big confederate flag sticker on the back. LOL!

Oh and by the way (just so you know) Ventura isn't the governor of our state anymore. Thank God!

I carry 2 guns while im biking and they are loaded and ready to go at a moments notice....all I have to do is stand and run in the pedals as fast as I can and those guns sseem to always have the power needed to drop the bad guy....

I met another rider here in Arizona the other day who was actually carrying on the same ride I was. While I prefer to carry in the top pouch on my rear pannier, he was carrying in a belly pouch that fit underneath his cycling clothes... it was hard to tell he even had a weapon on him.

A bit of an aside... but pretty neat none-the-less.

Hey Scott... good start; a pellet gun is better than nothing. When you turn 21, I'd recommend a .45ACP 1911 that shoots BIG pellets
If you haven't already done so... get some training on handguns from your local firing range. You are NEVER too young for training.
