An Old Soul in a New World

In many ‘Spaghetti Western’ films, a broad sub-genre of American Western films that emerged during the 1960s in the midst of Sergio Leone’s film-making success, many of the vuglar roles Native Americans were hired to act in forced them into offensive portrayals with little attention paid to authenticity, with emphasis only placed on painting them as “simple savages.” As a result, many American filmmakers paid little attention to actually translating the indigenous languages for what they were saying on screen. As a result, many actors were able to say what they really felt.  

Since I’m in no way shameful of owning MANY weapons, nor am I in no way apologetic for owning them or teaching my children the youngest of whom is 8 how to respect them, use them, and maintain them. I guess this is why I have recieved many many rude comments in my direct messages.. I will not post them, as I block all the people anyway.And I think it’s funny (sad funny not haha funny) the threats of “I’ll come to your house/home”, blah blah blah, this is why most of we women don’t post our faces and are very careful about how we post pictures.. But, not to perpetuate the whole “internet tough guy” talk, I’ll say this. If you can find which of my 3 properties we actually live in, and think you can get past the dogs, yes, dog[s] (plural), trained retired Military working dogs that have full access to our property, and then think you are cunning enough to not be noticed by any of the dozens of cameras, then finally, actually be able to dodge lead at high velocity, by all means…..

I am not a political person on here AT all, as this is my place of fun and enjoyment.. I also get that these people are just trolls trying to get a reaction. My stance on threats or violence is simple- any threats are just pussies running their mouths. If threats ever crossed in to action; however, would be confronted by overwhelming violence, take it how you take it..

The question was also asked how I would feel about any regulations about taking my/our weapons… I whole heartedly believe in our Constitution and it’s amendments.

“When her father was governor of New York, he and his wife proposed that Alice attend a conservative school for girls in New York City. Pulling out all the stops, Alice wrote, ‘If you send me I will humiliate you. I will do something that will shame you. I tell you I will.’”

“Her father took office in 1901 following the assassination of President William McKinley, Jr. in Buffalo (an event that she greeted with “sheer rapture.”)“

“During the cruise to Japan, Alice jumped into the ship’s pool fully clothed, and coaxed a congressman to join her in the water. (Years later Bobby Kennedy would chide her about the incident, saying it was outrageous for the time, to which the by-then-octogenarian Alice replied that it would only have been outrageous had she removed her clothes.”

“She was dressed in a blue wedding dress and dramatically cut the wedding cake with a sword (borrowed from a military aide attending the reception)”

“When it came time for the Roosevelt family to move out of the White House, Alice buried a Voodoo doll of the new First Lady, Nellie Taft, in the front yard.”

“Later, the Taft White House banned her from her former residence—the first but not the last administration to do so. During Woodrow Wilson’s administration (from which she was banned in 1916 for a bawdy joke at Wilson’s expense)…”

“As an example of her attitudes on race, in 1965 her African-American chauffeur and one of her best friends, Turner, was driving Alice to an appointment. During the trip, he pulled out in front of a taxi, and the driver got out and demanded to know of him, “What do you think you’re doing, you black bastard?” Turner took the insult calmly, but Alice did not and told the taxi driver, “He’s taking me to my destination, you white son of a bitch!”

This is Alice as an older lady. The pillow says “If you can’t say something good about someone, sit right here by me.”
