Amen, Brother.
The fact that it was a native-born American that did this deed is shameful. The fact that this native-born American, who once served this country with distinction, thought he was taking revenge against acts of wanton brutality, destruction, and murder by the Federal Government at Waco, is not the point. Each evildoer is responsible for their own actions!

Quoted: I don't mean to bring anyone down, or ruin your day. Seven years ago today, a truck bomb went off in front of the Murrah Federal Building in OKC, OK. And it was an American who was arrested, tried, convicted, and executed for the crime. To me it doesn't matter if you think he did it or not. It was still an absolute tragedy.

McVeigh knew about the child care center. He is a murderer. No different than the FBI at Waco or Lon Horiuchi at Ruby Ridge. There is no justification for what he did. There is no justification for what the others did. Is claiming that he didn't know about the child care center supposed to make it acceptable? McVeigh is not and will not ever be a Patrick Henry. He was a murdering coward and I only regret that he had but one life to give by leathal injection. Which, by the way was a cowardly way for a coward to die.

At this juncture, I think an event such as a car bombing is a pretty lame attempt at removing your adversary from God's green earth. Not to mention the fact that innocents may be lurking about.
No, one should eliminate one's adversary the old fashioned way. That way you know whether or not "the big one got away" and bystanders remained out of danger. Funny, so many people think they are tough these days. Tough? You want tough? Try fighting wars with swords, knives, and pikes like they did 1000 years ago. Planting a bomb and walking away is very crude and inefficient. One bullet or one knife can do the same thing with less "collateral damage." |

Quoted: Is a car bombing against a target with mixed civilian/government personnel inside your idea of war? In Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. bombed targets with mixed civilian/government personnel. Why do you suggest McVeigh was any less legit? Shooter69, I don't think I'm anti-American. I'm one of the more pro-Constitution guys around. I'm not condemning the U.S. bombings of children in Afghanistan and Iraq, I'm just making the point that innocent children get bombed in every war; so if the feds didn't want their children bombed, they never should have rolled their tanks up on the Branch Davidians. Wobblin-Goblin, I am intrigued by the idea of focused sword, knife, and pike strikes. |

I take a risk by correcting the punctuation of this post, but I think that it would be a better reflection of Blaze's feelings if it read: "Shooter69, I don't think! I'm anti-American!

Again, this may, or may not better represent Blaze's feelings on the matter, just taking a stab, so to speak. |

For those who don't study history, people die in war. There is no such thing as civilian or military when it comes to war. In the end it comes down to who has the best propaganda machine.
Do you know how many people died from our fire bomb missions in WWII. We won that war and painted a rosy picture of the war during and after to hide the dark side of it. If the Nazi's had won what do you think they would be saying about the killing of all the people in the camps. They would of painted the best picture possible. Why do you think public sentiment shifted during Vietnam. The media images showing the dark side of war is what did it. You look at the way the Palestinians fight there war, and don't be fooled into thinking it isn't a war because it is. They fight the only way they can. If they had the armaments to go head to head with Israel they would do it. How do you think we fought during the Revolution. We hid behind trees and walls and tried to avoid major head on fights with the British if possible because we weren't a match for the British regulars. Our style of fighting was a violation of all the norms of war at the time, but we did it to win. When your rights to own a gun have ended and you become a criminal, how will you fight to retain your rights? You can either turn your guns in or you will have to fight any way possible to win your rights back, and don't think you won't be labelled a terrorist for doing so. Or is it that your fight would somehow be a more rightous one then someone elses? Or is it that you have fallen into the trap of thinking your way is the only right way? |

Very clever IMHO, but without changing what I wrote, do you see something wrong with it?
DScott, what's asinine about what I said? VA-gunnut, well-said in my opinion; and please don't worry too much about gun confiscation. I can always lend you a copy of my favorite [b]government-published[/b] book: Army Technical Manual TM31-210: Improvised Munitions Handbook. ("In Unconventional Warfare operations it may be impossible or unwise to use conventional military munitions as tools in the conduct of certain missions. It may be necessary instead to fabricate the required munitions from locally available or unassuming materials. The purpose of this Manual is to increase the potential of Special Forces and guerilla troops by describing in detail the manufacture of munitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials.... This Manual includes methods for fabricating explosives, detonators, propellants, shaped charges [shock], small arms, mortars, incendiaries, delays, switches, and similar items from indigenous materials.") |

Quoted: ... DScott, what's asinine about what I said? ... You said: "The way I see it, the children in O.C. were collateral damage in a war initiated by the government." For starters, to say that is to excuse their deaths, to justify McVeigh's actions, and express your support for killing all those people, incuding infants and children. Clearly, you think the battle has already been joined and those deaths are acceptable. McVeigh himself used those terms to describe the deaths of the 19 children. He is a criminal, and deserved to die. What did those "collaterals" do to deserve to be killed? All those manuals for killing don't mean shit if you've got nothing to live (or die) for. I'm not sure whether to wish you'll have children so you might understand what a horror it would be to lose them, or to feel glad you don't. |

What Blaze of Glory and the other proponents of such conspiracy theories never address is the question of exactly what does the government hope to gain by waging war on us(by blowing up it's own buildings!)? And with all the other reports of coverups, like Watergate, No Gun Ri, Mai Li, Iran Contra, etc, they never stay hidden for long. Why would something on that scale as OKC not get leaked as a setup with McVeigh as the fall guy?
I hope to see some long essays from BOG tonight. |

Nobody likes the fact that 19 or so babies died in that event. Everybody likes the idea that the Government/Mob looks to that everyday when they consider tyranny. No Judge or Senator or law enforcement officer should feel like they cannot be touched. I like the fact that anyone in the Pentagon signing papers for war that costs lives of thousands of people might now have the inner need to wear a helmet at his desk. Sorry about their trouble,though.

What McVeigh did was wrong. The fact that he blew up a federal building wasn't wrong that fact that people died in that federal building wasn't wrong. Every american has the constitutional right to revolt aginst the govt if their life, liberty, or happiness is being trampled upon. His only crime was the death of people not affiliated with the govt. He killed people and got caught and now he is dead. I suspect that someday if we contimue on this course that many of us will be killing other americans. It scares me that so many other gun owners won't accept that this is a possible reality. I am not looking forward to it but unless things change I would happily kill and possibly die to make this country as free as it was before. Everyone of us has a different point where we have had enough, I guess the govt crossed McVeighs.
