This 71 yr old man, Samuel Williams deserves a medal! Bravo Zulu Sir! I would be honored to shake your hand!
It's hilarious how these two bit thugs fall all over themselves as they scramble to escape, LOL.
Good thing that hero was packin' heat!
This song fits the situation, I think:
What about being Earnest?
Well, earnestness is something we should all choose to do...and...Be.
One of the best examples of being earnest is the late, great Ernest Borgnine.
He was a man who spoke earnestly. He's beloved by many for his many, topo notch performances:
Marty
Bad Day At Black Rock
The Dirty Dozen
The Wild Bunch
From Here To Eternity
McHale's Navy
Emperor Of The North
The Poseiden Adventure
Airwolf
Escape From New York
Red
And so many more!
Ernest served 10 years in the US Navy and fought during WW2. He was a great American patriot 'til the day he died.
He visited each and every one of our veteran hospitals, and was the Navy's most successful recruiter!
Because he believed in the United States, and American exceptionalism. He believed our liberty was worth fighting for. And he always honored those who have served and those who are serving today.
Mr. Borgnine was a class act who had dignity to spare. He believed in hard work and he had a sense of humor that was infectious. He was proud of his service but he never bragged about it.
When Ernest Borgnine spoke he spoke honestly and from his heart. We veterans know without a doubt the love he had for us. He was one of us. He was Earnest.
RIP and Godspeed Petty Officer First Class Ernest Borgnine. And Thank you! We love you and so do millions of American civilians! Our loss is Heaven's gain.
This is Mr. Borgnine receiving his SAG lifetime achievement award. There are also many interviews he gave that are on youtube and they are well worth watching! Lots of wisdom in those interviews.
No, the Raccoon way of the masked pandit is "trans-academic," "trans-scholarly," and "trans-ambitious," meaning that it admittedly comes up short in these overrated qualities. However, our loose canon tries to compensate with other virtues, such as freshness, spontaneity, metaphysical comedy, jehovial witticisms, cheery optimysticism, freevangelical pundamentalism, comparative nonsense, coonical pslackology, fine insultainment, off-road spiritual adventures, speaking in Tongan (or ad homina homina homina) and all the rest of our Oly Slackraments.

"Friends, raccoon's, countremen, lend me your ears:I've said it before, I'll say it again, if you want to know and/or defend your constitution, your nation, your liberty, follow these links and pass them on! The Founders Constitution, hosted by the by The University of Chicago and the Liberty Fund (which includes the Online Library of Liberty, one of the greatest free libraries, online or otherwise), and if you want to see the constitution for the first time or in a new light, I'm telling ya'll, read it here.
For instance, if you scroll down that contents page a bit, to the Preamble, there are 21 links there, from snippets to full documents, that give the background information and perspective that the Founding Fathers had in their minds regarding the Preamble when they debated, wrote, ratified (usually including the relevant Federalist and anti-Federalist papers, as here, Madison, Brutus & Patrick Henry) and later applied by early presidents and re-examined and explained how it was being implemented and interpreted by those who still understood it (Justice Joseph Story's commentaries on teh constitution are outstanding).
Indexes contains several ways of slicing and dicing the site, such as Index of Authors and Documents, which links or lists key documents by key figures of the times, Index of Cases, which links to passages of key court cases that either established precedents, or from historic judgments which influenced how the first cases were judgedIndex of Constitutional ProvisionsArticle 1, Section 8, Clause 6 which seems to be on Bob F.'s mind, dealing with Counterfeiting coins and securities.Aliens & Citizenship... it is and incredibly valuable resource.Those of you with your own blogs, or email lists, please, especially with the situation we are in today, publish this one, promote it.
If We The People, don't understand what we have, and why... there will be no improvement, as a people, or a nation and I'll garauntee you, reading the linked information will help you to 'Know thyself', because as the Founders knew, to govern at all, you had to first be capable of governing yourself.
And, for you cosmonaughts out there, check out Gagdad Bob's outstanding post with his unique metaphysical focus on Truth, Liberty, Christianity and America at: http://onecosmos.blogspot.com/2009/07/saving-world-one-assoul-at-time.html "America's founders knew that man only derived his value by virtue of his relationship to the Absolute. This is a fine example of how metaphysics -- the eternal science -- is enfolded in religion. For to see -- and it is a seeing, not a mere "knowing" -- that men are endowed by their Creator with life and liberty is to affirm that life and liberty have an absolute and infinite value. They are "unalienable." Anything short of this makes our rights quite alienable indeed, meaning, among other things, that we can surrender them to liberals for cash and other valuable prizes."

I was Married to a lovely, beautiful, wise, and incredible woman with alot of humor (she had to have humor to marry me)!
We have Two wonderful, grown daughters who make me proud!
And we have One angel of a granddaughter!
Sadly, my wife Patti, my beloved passed away June 5th.
We were married for 33 years and I miss her more than I can say.
But I know we will only be apart for a little while and I'm glad she is no longer in pain.
I was and am so very blessed to have known this incredible lady and I thank God our paths crossed.
