Bernard Sky Dives - watch it to the end, it's worth it for the laugh!
After seeing this my first words were, "Ahh, Shit!"

Fred Thompson and a Freak
At the end of the vid you will see a freaky conspiracy theorist get out of hand. I don't blame Fred for feeling threatened.

Responsibility
Michael Vick, the NFL quarterback,recently got busted for being involved with dog fighting. An NBA referee recently got busted for gambling on games he umpired. Barry Bonds is considered as one of today's elite players, but has the shadow of steroids hanging over him. These are only a few examples of sport figures not being responsible when it comes to their personal conduct. Why would these type of people who have life by the tail put everything at risk like that?
Perhaps the problem lies in giving these people too much money or responsility or temptations before they are ready for such.
Perhaps it is due to the collapsing societal morals we are facing in todays world.
In the end it comes down to this: To whom much is giving, much is expected.

Lessons of a Navy Seal
Freedom has a unique taste for those that have fought for it. Liberty has a special ring for those that have faced death in the eyes of an enemy and somehow managed to survive. Dedication is rarely understood by those that are dedicated, and perseverance is rarely comprehended by those that have persevered.
I have been to Hell, and I returned to tell the story about it.
I was born with a silver spoon shoved up my ass, so to speak, but I quickly learned that with money comes great headaches. You wonder who your friends are. You wonder why people hang out with you. Is it because they find you a fascinating person? Or is it because they think your wealth may rub off on them.
I volunteered for the U.S. Navy with the intention of leaving my wealthy family, and the responsibilities that came with them, behind.
I've always loved a challenge, so after serving a term or so I decided to apply for Seal Training. And I was accepted.
What followed was the most grueling period of my life, and the most rewarding. I emerged a U.S. Navy Seal who undertook missions that would make James Bond wince. It hardened me, make me think I was the shit. I parachuted behind enemy lines, conducted my business, and then made my way through the roughest terrain to safety - often nearly reaching the end of my life along the way.
And when everything was at its best, and life was grandest, my past caught up to me. Father was dying, and I was needed to take care of the business - only son, you know.
The biggest voice that helped me through the roughest times, however, did not come from a fellow Seal, or any of my Marine Corps buddies. It came from an enlisted kid who was much smaller than me, and nothing more than a wanna-be as far as I was concerned. But inside, Doug was larger than me. He understood how the wheels of life turn. And he had stories that even made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
In the end, he made me realize all those years ago, that it is not about how ripped your body gets, or how big your checkbook is. I had both, and I was defeated.
In the end it is about what you do with what you have, and how you leave your mark on this world. As Doug drives down the Interstate as I type this, driving a Tractor/Trailer down a lonely highway through the desert, I salute him. I had everything and nearly squandered it. He had nothing, and made himself more.
He epitomizes dedication and perseverance, and our liberty remains because of men like him. Be safe on the road, my friend. Be safe.

So I'm Sitting Here
San Diego is a beautiful city. The weather is more often than not nice. And where I'm at along the beach the scenery is awesome. The waves are crashing at the beach, and beautiful women are running by my patio on a sidewalk near the sand.
I live for the extreme, sometimes. As a former Seal in the United States Navy, which is where I met Doug (he's a sailor too, you know) at Political Pistachio, I can appreciate the water. Sky Diving is my passion, though. I tell people that the exhilaration of jumping out of the plane thousands of feet above the Earth is better than sex. Doug jokes with me and says that if I truly believe that, then I must be doing the sex thing wrong.
But I wonder, with what's going on in the world, how long I have left to enjoy the freedoms this nation has to offer. How long before regulations get so tight that I won't be able to do the things I please. How long before sky diving is a crime?
You know, if the liberal's push for a heavy penalty called the Inheritance Tax had been in effect when my parents died, I'd be in a soup line. Doesn't sound like they are trying to eliminate poverty to me. Sounds like they are trying to create it.
Lucky for me, that's not the case, so here I sit, at the beach, taking in the sun.
Oh, added note, for those of you that do read Political Pistachio by Doug Gibbs, he's been in a bad way lately with medical shit. All those years of a hard life has caught up to him, I suppose. So, for those of you that read my site and pray, pray for him. He needs it right now.

I actually got a kick out of this video from one of my lunatic left's sites I visit every once in a while. I have a feeling Tom the Neurotic can relate well to the character in this clip. Perhaps this is his knee jerk reaction to when Christians claim this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
