Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Thumbs up Uncle Porter's US Calvary Pic

Porter served in the US Army's 7th US Cavalry during the WW1period.

Finally found an image of him from back when:

When I was a kid...uncle Pirter was up in them years.

I asked him lots of questions about them us calvary days...
Of course I was watching all the cavalry movies on tv...John Ford knwe how.

Uncle P...never wore "dirtyshirt blue"....never had a saber....and carried a 1911 pistol and a '03 Springfield rifle in a scabbard. Yep....hardtack, beans and salt pork...were still field rations.

I asked how often him and his fellow troopers had to fight off wild indians....

He laughed and told me that many of his fellow troopers were Indians. Ge also told me that his duties consisted of running the niqqers and wetbacks off the reservations....where they were trying to squat and get a free ride.

That's a neat story. They were truly men.

Porter tried to enlist when WWII started. The army told him horse cavalry was on the way out and were replaced by trucks and tanks. Porter wanted back in the saddle. He made it sound like the army pissed him off.he stayed home for WWII.
