Is this years FB team the new reemergence of The phoenix...
Posted by TigerMikeAtl on 8/28/22 at 12:02 pm
....with BK clearly in the saddle, or a repeat of O's splash in the pan tenure?
From what I've read, it seems like this team will look like, play like, and behave like no other recent teams in several years. It has be remade to fit the needs of new masters, aka the Brian Kelly coaching staff. I have high expectations for this group of young men.
Geaux Tigers!!

The Rant has been my lifeblood for over a decade. It is the first thing I check while drinking my morning coffee, and the last at night with my nightcap. Oh...and several times during the day. Thanks!

re: Vietnam vet PFC Jerry McNelly says they hate our flag because it represents freedom.

I can relate to much of what he talks about, especially the names we were called by the unknowing and the anti-war factions upon our return. He is 100% spot on about our flag, and what it stands for and I heartily agree. This is a big reason why I continuously do battle with my HOA in order to fly the red, white, and blue in my front yard with my Marine Corps colors! God bless and save our great nation. :usa:

This the way we actually had to learn in the real Marine Corps.!

Rifleman's Creed
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will ...
My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit ...
My rifle is human, even as I [am human], because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace

If this behavior continues I'll be forced to either cover my Marine Corps tats or have them removed intirely.

Stupid me! I was taught that the Civil war was fought 1861-1865. I knew I shouldn't have believed those conservative teachers in the 50's and early sixties. Of course thats before the left's revisionist history.

From a fellow Vietnam veteran my deepest condolences for your loss. I've know many Vietnam war vets who suffered from this ailment. It's devastating that he, and his family had to endure this disease.
God rest his soul and Semper fi!!

"In Flanders Fields" is a war poem written during the First World War by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Also one last thought that many vets can agree on..
If you want to thank a soldier, be the kind of American worth fighting for!
I will be opening a bottle of Benchmark Old Number 8 brand to celebrate all my fallen brothers who could not be here today.

re: Not a single one of you toe spreaders would have run into that school
Posted by TigerMikeAtl on 5/26/22 at 8:17 pm
The "toe spreader" reference goes back to the 70's as another way to reference the term "camel toe". This refers to a particular part of the female anatomy that has a slit between its particular spot. Look up camel toe. It's another way to call us pussies.

However.....here's your participation for showing up and trying.
The American public deserves more from what the FBI is doing. Perhaps if biased politics were left out of the equation, we would have better enforcement.

The home we still live in we had built, back in 1990 for $243k with 6 acres, now has a value of 880K according to Fayette County, Ga. No way I would ever pay that amount for this home today.

re: Fellow Georgia baws, will you be voting for Kemp or Perdue?
Posted by TigerMikeAtl on 5/11/22 at 10:02 pm
I'll have to hold my nose BUT I am voting for Kemp over Perdue. Perdue has NO CHANCE against Stacey Abrams. That is what's more important at this time.
Kemp has his "baggage" but overall has done a good job. Perdue is not respected very much by Georgia voters and really never accomplished anything of note when he was senator.
Some times you have to choose what's best for the long run and fall on your sword.
