His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught According to the state You read about the current news in a regulated press And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame Satan's number You've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will leave their leaders and artillery. And guns to foreign shores And send your sons to slaughter Fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great republic in each god-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god given right We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep And wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? I'm pretty sure, I don't even need some Then there's another sergeant near Forsen Well from one side, the other side, the sergeant comes up to the night they cut the child out one hands one to the other and they save that child. Even if you have a molded in in your door panel you go buy a brand new pair of some of the silicone on the inside that pocket because I can see you put your thing in all the way back into you know that 90 degrees down your torso and not laying sideways or upside and what's right there what's right under it still isn't a lot of cheap cars sometimes those get old as a car that you need to pay attention to and it's not just seatbelt and why the emergency crew chief he's general did you know that and and old was the crew chief one of them one of the door gunners was the crew chief I don't know what those two sergeants did in the air force one of them maybe both of them were air-based ground defense and some of the baddest guys you would you know ever come up against with a rifle in any kind of terrain they don't leave they're there to defend that air base they don't move they don't maneuver they maneuver to defend that air base that that's it their job and they'll do it until they can't do it anymore. You can maneuver across continents. They don't move. They're trained to do that. I don't know what those guys did in the Air Force. Perhaps at one time deployment or maybe not even deployment, maybe John McCain. Look around, he'll look at you. He says, you know, as womanly as explained. I've told you this before. Pulled three different kids out of the water. I'm in water where they explain that feeling to you. What makes you This is what makes runs over to. We've talked about many times. This is a monetary, and I don't say this as a derogatory. What do you think you, I pose that deep philosophical question, think your worth. The number of different ways. We can say that, oh, Don can say that. I've saved three children's lives. And on a Bible, I'll tell you that, that's my existence. But that happened when I was, at the latest time an early teenager there's nothing all like you know you look at things you take and sometimes as example you know well that guy who who received Medal of Honor you know Medal of Honor gets a nice little pension did you know that? You have to work if you if you want to live at that level if that's what you're accustomed to that he's got a freezing income for as long as he lives exactly it's not it's not a gazillion dollars But if you were, you know, your average Joe, you know, maybe you bought two new cars in your lifetime, you wouldn't have to work. But many of those guys, they go out and they work. Just like the average Joe. Trying to continue that exhibition, trying to justify their self-worth. Even in a time when they know that, hey, I might be driving down the road. There's nobody shooting at me. There's nobody shooting at my friends. Think about it. I've done this, I told you about driving over here and I crossed the Muskegon River at M20 where M20 turns south and when some of those big riggles through there seemed like once a month one of them had scraped that building there so eventually the stuff in the road is a little bit and fished the other river because you can see what looks like a Christmas tree almost of white it looks like water 14 inches out about 25 or 35 feet and then it starts to spread in the air there's that inverted Christmas tree but there's a back hole and he's getting off it. It's just sideways and covered two lanes and got out directing traffic to the north away from that intersection. Now you can legally do that, anybody can, but I wouldn't advise you to try to, so you can kill, maim, or mutilate the people inside as some groups of people have tried to do as of late. Lawful, legal, you know, danger situation. I got out, I started directing traffic direct, I'm thinking, man, whoa, man, if anything happens, better air fuel bomb mixing right over my shoulder. Woohoo! Your department's got there, start directing traffic. I want to see a traffic jam there. Yeah, man, in a couple of days, wouldn't it? That nice to cut that salt. Maybe you would look at that and turn and panic. I know the energy there. I know if something goes wrong, I don't want to be here. Or the energy of moving water. Or you know that man, it's on fire under the hood. And the old lady's just strapped right in there and saying, please help. Please help. Not screaming. Please help. Think about it. Runs over to, what are you worth? What are you willing to do? What would you spend yourself on? We've asked you that question many times, Adam. Over the years. Not every day. You know, I think this is the first time. It's a new year. I'm certain this is the first about these things. If you're gonna... You're not playing chess. Step out into the field with that. You're not playing chess when you step up. Remove from the table. That is permanent. You know what? And I know it. Some of us want to overlook it and say, well if it happens, it happens. Sometimes there is that, man. Just that one that you stuck your head up and man, it wasn't even aimed at you. The will of God or just, you know, however you want to put it. Willing to step up. The other portion of this is old lady's strapped rounding upside thing when you're needed, isn't it? Help is a good thing when you need it. Knowledgey, look out, sir. Know the way to stay. the corner? And it's almost always, hardly ever does a woman, a woman might try to drag it if she's wading in the water and the shark bites her legs, she might grab onto it and try recordings of that, not necessarily recorded in the history of tech. And he swims out there, two people swim out there pulling a life raft. This is a, there are accounts of this. Some of the things you see in Jaws are taken from different literal historical accounts of people being, people running. There's a number of books you could, that's one of the best, there were that giant, fish is eating that person. First think about that. I, I 150 or 170 yards down the wire or in the other to the guys inside it won't even get out because later isn't working. All they have to do is get out there for in their hand, lit with a match or their zone. Zippo. They're the whole sub 120. They just find even get out of that hole to do that down all down the whole length of the wire. Almost everybody that saw it bullets around him, RPGs flying, flying from his side. to shoot the people out there that are coming through the wire. He jumps up on the hull, lights the seaforn, holds it up to the igniter and jumps off. And the guys in the in the Zippo, they all will do this now. And they send flame down the front. And a hundred and a ten the wire that was more than that. Who would do that? He's my friend. I know him. You've met him, Mark. At any rate, if you go over to YDTO, I'll do this in seconds. Go over to YDTOE.US and you'll see all kinds of stuff that'll help you see in the dark. If you have any quite anything you see there like pryheim or what will this do compared to that or you just want to talk about night vision because you're standing someplace, piece of night vision in your hand call me. Numbers 231-796-31796. It's one thing we were talking about before, Ermall. One point connection, they're like one big bar. Your night vision device locks to that. Almost all your A3s, the numbers in A3, A15s, something like a tripline in your eye. And you got a good eye putting on as we've talked. My drifter, it's almost like a machine. That's almost the thought line when you put that feeling emotion on. So about to it, didn't ya? You can see the assembly or a little dot next to your front nut. You can do this any way you want to index this just as long as it goes back to the same place. Now you're gonna get what used to be chased in the gun world or basically you do that slow and nothing else has changed. You're probably gonna be within an inch of your zero at 100 yards that you were before. Take that off and mount a daylight device. I encourage you, particular flat tops, you need a little more elevation, don't you? Not a whole lot, but a little. Daylight device, you're gonna be looking right through it, unless you've got a digital or a thermal on there, because you can use the digital and the thermal in the daytime. So a greater extent right now, a daylight device, you're on a one-piece mount on the base of all of my gun sights. Doing this, you're trying to figure out, oh man, I wanna do this, but I wanna do this with my, you're gonna have to, you're on where that lays on your rail, make certain because I want it as low as I can, make certain that the rings are high enough with your first purchase that you're able to mount the terse of rings also. To a great extent, manufacturers aren't going to make it so low that you just can't mount anything, but sometimes they're, well, this will mount that certain and that it depends on how fastened to the tube and all of that. When you buy a one-piece mount, you might come up with a one-piece mount that, man, it's the same height as the rings that I used to hold on. And I'm putting on pretty certain, man, I see the same eye relief. You're never gonna have any thumb screws. Sometimes, you know, they're just that you did when you bolted your night vision on. You're gonna be within about one minute. One, yeah, one inch at a hundred yards. Because you're not putting on and then putting that ring on and there's two variables. And then laying the scope that time, did you? So there's now you're twist. Every time you take a daylight scope, it's like that, that situation. And then bolt it back on particular if you've moved the ring. This is why on one plane, you take the scope. often you take the roof and if you put them back on in the same slots there are two individual pieces with very little register down the length of the gun even if you put a piece of tape at one end of the earth this is right where it sat in this saddle you tighten those caps down you're tightening those caps down on two different planes that's lightning if you do that a few times pretty heavy bodies and you don't have to really manipulate them to do that for that one cap know when you bring on where does that machining dust go one piece mount you can do it you're probably and you won't be put a daylight scope to mention durability of equipment. I'm folding that a hundred times improvement in reasons. You'll see even, you'll see something big Dalek wall tube. Sometimes you'll see a crimp in one of those from someone who was ever so slightly careless mounting it. That semi, sometimes you'll see it. It might be a third of a, might be one sixth of a dinky little dent there were on each side because they've gone, you need a lot of screw. Again, you do use a few mount Try another skull and find a zero again. Pretty certain you're gonna be with Ed Sheer to hunt. Now I know that's 10 into the thousand yards. 15's didn't. The same weapon! 10 rounds per second unloads 20-
