I am "thankful" for men like Don Alejo Garza Temez

Dignity. Courage. Honor.

These are the things I am thankful for.

I am thankful that the great God Jehovah instilled this divine attribute in us. While we may be a fallen creation, God has left is fingerprints upon mankind and when in the right light we can see his mark imprinted on us.

God bless Don Alejo Garza. This man was not only a patriot but had the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the cartels who are holding Mexico completely hostage. If this man at 77 years of age can kill and incapacitate 6 gunmen while being outmanned and outgunned, imagine what a well able bodied group of good citizens can do for their country?

Do you all see why I cannot stress the importance of being on equal footing with those that wish to have a monopoly of force?

Read below and be inspired on what one man with simple "hunting rifles" inflicted on these gutless criminal scumbags.

Mexico needs more men like Don....hell....the WORLD needs more men like Don Garza for that matter. Well played you brave old timer. My question to my friends and readers is: When those that come in force as roaming savages or behind the authority of a badge descend upon you to take everything you worked for and cherish. will you be able to stand in your doorway like Mr. Garza and give them the "business"? I know I will...

Mexican Marines reconstruct the death of Don Alejo Garza.

When Mexican Marines arrived at the San Jose Ranch, 15 kilometers from Victoria, Tamaulipas, the scene was bleak: The austere main house was practically destroyed by grenades and heavy gunfire.

Outside of the home, they found four bodies. Cautiously, and with their weapons drawn, the troops continued inspecting the exterior and found two more gunmen, wounded and unconscious, but alive.

Inside the house only one body was found, riddled with bullets and with two weapons by it's side. The body was identified as Don Alejo Garza Tamez, the owner of the ranch and a highly respected businessman in Nuevo Leon.

Upon further inspection of the interior, marines found weapons and ammunition at every window and door. This allowed them to reconstruct how, just hours prior, the battle had played out.

Marines searched for more bodies inside the house, but none were to be found. It seemed hard to believe that one person, armed only with hunting rifles, had caused so many casualties on the attackers.

Dozens of spent shells and the smell of gunpowder gave proof of the tenacity of the man who fought to the end in defense, of not only his ranch, but his dignity.

In the end, it was deduced the man had created his own defense strategy to fight alone, placing weapons at every door and window.

The story began in the morning of Saturday November 13, when a group of armed gunmen went to deliver an ultimatum to Don Alejo Garza Tamez: He had 24 hours to turn over his property or suffer the consequences.

Using the diplomacy he had acquired over nearly eight decades of life, Don Alejo flatly announced that not only would he not be surrendering his property, but that he'd be waiting for them.

When the men had left, Don Alejo gathered his workers and ordered them to take Sunday off, he wanted to be alone.

He dedicated the rest of Saturday to taking stock of his weapons and ammunition and creating a military fortress style defense strategy for his home.

The night of Saturday the thirteenth was long and restless, much like his past hunting adventures; Don Alejo woke early. Shortly after 4 a.m. the motors of various trucks could be heard entering the property from a distance.

Marines who investigated the scene could only imagine how it was that morning: armed men, their impunity secured, confident they'd soon be owners of yet another property. Nobody, or almost no one, could hold out against a group of heavily armed gunmen. Only Don Alejo.

The trucks entered the ranch and took up positions surrounding the house. The gunmen got out of their trucks, fired shots in the air, and announced they came to take possession of the ranch. They were expecting the terrified occupants to run out, begging for mercy with their hands in the air.

But things didn't go as expected. Don Alejo welcomed them with bullets; the entire army of gunmen returned fire. Don Alejo seemed to multiply, he seemed to be everywhere. The minutes would have seemed endless to those who had seen him as easy prey. Various gunmen were killed on sight. The others, in rage and frustration, intensified the attack by swapping out their assault rifles for grenades.

When everything finally fell silent, the air was left heavy with gunpowder. The holes left in the walls and the windows attested to the violence of the attack. When they went in search of what they had assumed was a large contingent, they were surprised to find only one man, Don Alejo.

The surviving gunmen did not take over the ranch. Thinking the military would arrive at any moment, they decided to run. They left behind what they thought were six corpses, but two of their gunmen had survived.

Shortly after, the Marines arrived and methodically reconstructed the events. A lone rancher, a man who worked a lifetime to be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor such as his ranch, had defended it to his death.

In the last hunt of his life, Don Alejo surprised the group of assassins who wanted to impose the same law on his ranch that they had on the State, the law of the jungle.

The marines who were present will never forget the scene: a 77 year old man, who before death, took out four gunmen, fighting the same as the best soldiers: with dignity, courage, and honor.

Rest in Peace Don Alejo Garza Tamez

A Man of His Word

- Don Alejo Garza was a proud Norteño. He was born in Allende, Nuevo leon in 1933. He childhood was spent in the most wooded areas of the state.

-Allende, located 50 miles south of Monterrey, is crossed by National Highway 85 that leads to Ciudad Victoria, Tampico and Veracruz. This community is located at the base of the Sierra Madre Oriental.

-His father owned a sawmill, and he learned early in his youth, along with his older brothers, how to work, saw, and sell wood. Driven by this activity he eventually founded the timber supply store El Salto in Monterrey, taking the name from the place where they bought the product.

- As a young man he had to travel constantly to Parral, Chihuahua, and El Salto, Durango, to buy the wood which would then be sold in Monterrey. His family was successful in this field and opened branches in Allende, his hometown, and Montemorelos.

- Don Alejo began fishing and hunting as a child. As a young man he began to collect weapons. Among his friends and associates he was known as an excellent shooter who, in the company of his friends, hunted deer, geese and pigeons.

- Don Alejo Garza Tamez was one of the founding members of the "Dr. Maria Manuel Silva" Hunting, Shooting and Fishing Club, located in Allende, Nuevo León.

- He and his brother, Rodolfo, bought the San Jose Ranch in Tamaulipas and divided it between them. Don Alejo's half bordered with the Padilla Lake and Rodolfo's with the Coronoa river.

Another drop in the Casus Belli bucket...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Super glad I dug in and pulled up my boot straps and vowed to never fly again until either the TSA is abolished or this jackassery of secret lists and such falls to the way side....As expected this is going over like a fart in church.

Damn straight...as it should be.

Now what?

Meanwhile at the Beck cave there's a lot of optimism and ooh-rahing going on after the recent election. However based on the results, it's pretty standard fare and to be expected in American politics.

See this recent clip below:



There's very little to be happy with if anything. The best victory to be had in KY with Rand Paul. Finally people are starting to see the madness of power drunk politicians and decided to work within the "system" and send one of their own to turn it inside out. At least you have 1 senator that knows how the Constitution is supposed to work....

Unfortunately, even in my home state of Arizona we sent back some of the biggest establishment D-Bags back to Washington wearing team Red's jersey. John "Fix the danged fence" McCain and Ben "I never participated in Arizona elections" Quayle. I had no problem having to hold my nose this time and gladly put my weight behind the Libertarian candidates running for office. Even though we felt short I would rather turn it over to Democrat than let some milquetoast RINO sit in there and promise you one thing then do the exact opposite.

My main whole point of this rant is that the GOP will not save you. It can't. The die has been cast, the Rubicon crossed. Even with more buckets in the boat the water is rising faster than it can be bilged out of it. America's fate has been sealed.

I've been watching the political map of this country develop for quiet some time. Right now we are two countries which share the same borders with another. What blows me away is that you can go 300 miles in a westward direction and be bound to live under a completely different set of rules and laws, which you being a "free citizen" should be able to excercise said natural rights in peace and security. Once I step into California, my CCW permit instantly becomes invalid. The same permit in which I allowed myself (like a criminal) to be fingerprinted and an extensive background check to be conducted which after "Daddy Government" had granted me the honor to carry "concealed". With the same training, I also spent an entire workday in class understanding the laws of our state and proved myself to be proficient in hitting a target at typical threat ranges. The denizens of California do not agree in the concept of reciprocity and therefor do not get one dime of my hard earned money.

Why are guns being brought up in response to a general election? Simple. Typically I base a majority of my voting decision on one simple question: Does this person believe that the right to self defense must remain unfettered? That when something is legal for the Government (wether local, state or nationally) and illegal for it's citizens, is simple unadulterated tyranny. I will not back anyone who wishes to curb my rights in regards to "common sense" or on behalf "of the children". These same people do not view me as a free person but an expense account to be drawn on and used up for a good time. At least with real criminals, they pull no punches on who they are. These progressive/statist types like to act as if they are acting on your best behalf while sharpening their knives in secret preparing for the sacrificial meal.

So as for Arizonan's we gave the green light to a man who feels it's perfectly ok to know who what and when you sell private property to another individual and has to know when you attempt to buy said property. And we elected another man who is completely uninterested in issues we Arizonan's face and vows to protect gun owner rights by standing against a national data base (we practically already have one by de facto) and protecting hunters rights.

Wow. I am ecstatic and relieved. Hooray for freedom. =/
