Congratulations! If you believe in any of the same things I
do, then DHS, Nancy Pelosi, and the Obama administration have labeled you as
a "Right-Wing-Extremist" or an "Angry Mobster" with
only the ability to participate in "astro-turf" gatherings. We
are, after all, not smart enough to think of doing this on are own,
now are we? Well - I think Pelosi, Obama, et al know the real
answer to that one!
We have entered a very important
election year! This will be historic in that Americans all
over are finally waking up and opposing a big government who is out
of control with spending, and bent on cramming unwanted legislation
down our throats. One important way that we in Larimer County,
CO can help battle this oppressive takeover, is to elect sound
conservatives at our local government level. That is why I am
supporting Carl
Bruning for Sheriff of Larimer County!
Well, my fellow
right-wing-extremists, it is incumbent on all of us that we show our
fellow Americans, through the peaceful use of protest and contacting
our representatives, that we are not the ones to be afraid of.
But rather, Americans should now be afraid of those who only want power,
and care nothing about our actual well being. We need to turn
that around. Our government should be afraid of US because we
hold the key to them staying employed. We are lending
them our power, and if they continue to abuse that privilege, we
will take that power back and lend it to someone else who will use
it more responsibly.
So having said
that, my advice to everyone is GET INVOLVED! You can become a
Constitutional Watch Dog by clicking on the watch dog to the left
and finding out more. This web site and
especially the
We Will Not
Fall web site are chock full of ways for you to get involved and
the listing of issues that you should be concerned about. For
proof that there are many burdensome measures that are being thrust
upon us, you need look no further than exorbitantly expensive Cap
and Trade and health care bills that no-body in Congress is reading,
and that NONE of the politicians plan on being forced to participate
in themselves. Obama wants us to save the planet with Cap and
Trade, yet he keeps the Oval Office like a sauna in winter.
Are he and HIS family dawning those extra sweaters he talked about
in the campaign? I don't think so. Will Pelosi, Reid,
Frank and others be participating in the health care they want to
force upon us? I don't think so! Will they be giving us
all armed body guards like they have when they take away our guns?
I DON'T THINK SO!!!
I
am extremely concerned that we have a president who is apologizing
for us at every opportunity. He shows extreme weakness in the
face of radical terrorism, and quite frankly, I think it is going to
get Americans killed. He has empowered and emboldened the
North Koreans and the Iranians with his weak stance on our defense.
I fear for my country because I fear that very soon these terrorist
states will take action to exercise their new-found nuclear toys.
As I
predicted: the spirit and wording of our most beloved document, The
United States Constitution, has come under attack and attempts to
change it are being aggressively pursued by a progressive movement
that is treating it as a "dynamic document" that can be changed to
fit their current whim. With that said, you can expect to see
even more
on these pages in the coming weeks, months, and even years as I
will continue to voice my disapproval for things that seem
un-American or counter to the liberties that our Founding
Fathers fought so hard to win more than 200 years ago. I
will continue to be vocal for 2nd Amendment rights, perhaps more
than ever before, and for how ever
long it takes to ensure our rights are left un-infringed.
I am involved with a project to use
non-violence and an
aggressive voice to help take our country back. See
Northern Colorado's contribution to the 9.12 Project at the
We Will
Not Fall web site. I can also be found on
Twitter
these days, using it as another outlet to get the word out about
the attack against American conservatism and the attack against
our country's founding heritage. One piece of good news:
Others are getting onboard to voice their outrage. One
particular example is found in a
letter from Janet Contreras of Phoenix, AZ. We reproduced
her letter on
our 9.12
Project web site. Take a look and if you agree,
sign the petition.
The next assault
weapons ban is in the works, and
we have to stop it before it becomes reality. See my
new list of AR-15
resources for more information. You can also see
this link
for a video that illustrates the truth about so-called "assault
weapons."
Check out
Project
Appleseed! This is a great way to learn about
shooting, and learn valuable skills to become a rifleman.
Rifle marksmanship is a dying art! We must revive it
and make respect for firearms strong. The designation of
"rifleman" means more than being able to hit a target at 500
meters away. It means that the holder of that designation
holds dear the values of our Founding Fathers, who fought so
hard to win our freedom and independence from a tyrannical
government. To get an idea what this is all about, see

For those of you visiting for the first time - I am proud to
claim the status of "Colorado Native," born at
Fitzsimons Army Hospital in
Aurora.
Job: Senior IT Specialist (Information Security). Education: M.S.,
Management: Information Systems Security,
Colorado Technical
University. B.S., Aviation Management,
Southern Illinois
University. I also have a bunch of
post-graduate certificates and industry certificationssomewhere that attest to the fact that I am a
raving computer geek, most recently earning my Information
Security Certification and Accreditation Professional credential
through ISC2. I am also an MCP (Windows XP
Professional) and MCSA (Windows 2003 Server) certified. As for the "Gonzo" nickname?
Many think it was in relation to the Sesame Street character.
The nickname stuck
because I was (and still am) a
die-hard Ted Nugent fan -
back in the day, my favorite album and song was "Double-Live
Gonzo" (Disc 1, Track 3, "Gonzo") which I played incessantly - the nickname stuck.
When I was stationed in Japan, one of my friends in the sheet
metal shop engraved a sign that said
"Gonzo's Garage - Radio Repair and One-Liners"
and stuck it on my avionics workbench (which was
in a metal
cage). The concept stuck. I am still a Nugent fan to
this day, not just because of his raw musical talent, but
because he is a true patriot in every sense. This site, therefore,
became "Gonzo's Garage" - where I keep all my stuff. Some
people keep scrap books for all of their photos, memories, and
pontifications - I keep a web site, and
that's all I'm going to say about that.
AR-15 Videos:
This section has been added to give you some easy access to a
variety of good videos that show everything from AR-15 assembly to
tactical deployment of the AR-15 rifle. There are a variety of
other firearms maintenance and assembly resource videos that will be
available soon.

This is me in 1976. Scary, huh? And
we trust our networks and computer security to THAT guy?!
Self Defense:
I have added a new section to this site geared toward self
defense and 2nd Amendment issues. I have included
links to the various
articles that I have written and are mirrored on my "other"
blog site. The latest article deals with more of
the liberal sneaky gun
control tactics, and how they plan to make our Second Amendment
rights null and void.

Our Family's Mayflower Connection:
My family's lineage
has been traced to one of the Pilgrims who came over to the new
world on the Mayflower in 1620. We are decedents of
Stephen Hopkins, who had been here on a previous voyage in 1609,
which makes our family eligible for both Mayflower Society and
Jamestown Society membership. Read More...
The World Around Us:
I have recently added a new
section to put some of the great emails that I have received
from friends and colleagues. Some are funny, some are
political, some are just weird. Since I don't support the
proliferation of SPAM, I put these here so that I can share the
ones I really believe are worth sharing.
