Personnel will be assigned to Chelsea's wedding?
I mean, It's Bill Clinton gonna be there.....How many SS agents will it take to keep him from doing something stupid with one of her bridesmaids?
I have unconfirmed reports that the wedding invitations requested "No blue dresses". Also, reports are that people are discouraged from standing between Bill and Hillary, for fear that they will freeze to death....
Seriously:
My best wishes to Chelsea and Marc.....

Yep
Told ya they'd keep trying.
However: I see this as good news....It means that at least someone in the government must think that the AZ law sill be upheld, despite the activist judge who put a hold on it until it is adjudicated by a court......and, of course, the myriad appeals which will follow....(seriously, while her arguments were stupid and poorly thought out, I think that she had good reason to put a stay on the law until it IS reviewed by a court) ....if they didn't feel that it would be upheld, then they wouldn't be making contingency plans to get around the resultant issues.
So I see this as good news. My thought is that the Administration and the DNC (but I repeat myself) are just hoping that this is held off until after the elections before there is any decision.

Hell, I think it's funny.
But then again, I own several 1911's....most more or less standard.

Us VS "Them"
Who is the "Us"?? That would be those who believe against statism, and for states rights. Those who believe in the rule of law, and that the law should be followed, not ignored. We believe that if the law needs changing to meet new conditions, then we have procedures in place to do so, and we should follow those procedures, not allow the laws to be ignored by some part of the government, nor should that same government be allowed to force the non enforcement of a law, either through a presidential decree, nor through the courts. Those of us who believe that the government should worry about national security, and police, and fire protection, and not about paying unproductive and shortsighted people to do less. Those of us who believe in less government, not more..Those of us who believe in getting ahead by working, and taking charge of our life, not taking what the government gives us and asking for more but never doing anything to personally improve our lives....Those of us who believe that to be a citizen is a right, but one which comes with an obligation to give to the country, not just take....
"Them" would be those who disagree....Those who would flaunt their failure to follow the law. Those who care less for the country and the welfare of its citizens than the welfare of those outside the country, and who illegally enter its borders and who do not contribute to the system. Those who think that human rights trump the rights of the citizens of this country, and who would hurt those who make this country great in order to help those who failed to do so in their own country. "Them" would be those who feel that the greatness of the US is not the citizens, but rather the leaders and the "State", and who would do anything to make themselves be the leaders (and those folks who support such misguided fools). Those who would use anything to stay in power, even to the point of weakening their country in order to make "the end justify the means" ....Those who would not raise the "downtrodden" by giving them the means and opportunity to succeed or fail on their own, but rather by tearing down the very people who have made this country great though their own hard work and efforts. Who would rather level the playing field by shaving off the high spots instead of filling in the low spots.
Over at Tams, there is a discussion as to whether the issue of illegal immigration is the point of conflict which will be divisive enough. I say yes, it has the potential to be. I also suggest that this could lead to civil war, as the Statists reach too far, and the rest of us (the productive bill paying 52% of the citizens that are really paying the bills for the country) soon stand up and cry "ENOUGH!".
This may well be the thing that sparks the fire.
I sincerely hope not....I hope that fire never ignites. But the fuel is stacked, and the conflagration will happen if we are not careful.
They think that we "Tea Party" and "country folk" her in flyover country are mean spirited, and they accuse us of being violent. They have no idea of the kind of violence we law abiding citizens are capable of, but which we seldom ever let escape the leash of decency by which we hold it in check. They haven't seen the kind of violence which awaits them if and when the spark ignites the differences in the country. I hope that no one ever sees that. But I think it is coming....if not this issue, then the next.
God help us (and "Them"!) and the rest of the country when it does.

Another example from where Great Britain used to be....
Some people don't understand what war, and fighting in general, is all about.
Kill people, break things, in larger numbers than your opponent, until such time as he is orced to give up the fight.
If this offends the other side, too bad. If they really really don't like it, even better. If it makes them uncomfortable enough to give up the fight earlier, then more power to the fighters who are making them unhappy. You can't kill people in wholesale lots and yet be "culturally sensetive" at the same time.
But then again, true warriors make the weenies feel , well, kinda scared and weak kneed, and causes them to have to change their undewear more often. And it is thesse weenies who weaken the nation, and hobble the warriors in their mission. Niceness has no place in war. Horably killing the enemy does, but in the end, you ARE killing them. IF the condition of the body is not to the liking of his survivors, well, as the saying goes....."Don't want none? Don't bring none." The folks fighting against the coalition in Afghanistan seem to have less respect for our warriors than ours do for theirs.....So if occasionally someone on our side does something that they don't like with one of their dead, then that should be a lesson to them as well. I don't see where they have taken the time to worry about our cultural sensetivities when the blow themselves up in a crowd, or behead or mutilate folks on our side. And, to be honest, they seem to feel any worries we might have about offending them on our part as weakness.

Wise words
Perhaps Barry should apply this to nearly any of his endeavors:
"It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it"

Conquest.....
If we let them, that is....
Thing is, there has to be a balance between freedom, and tolerance, and realizing the lessons of history. While there is a part of me which wishes to allow the mosque to be built (the tolerant, easygoing part, which recognizes religious freedom, and believes that if they have the money to buy the land, andpay off the politicians and building inspectors follow the proper procedures, they should be allowed to build) and the part of me that realizes that Islam is a patient religious and political movement which will see this as another step towards their conquest of the US....Next step Dhimmitude.
If the pattern of history is followed, there will next be some sort of complaint against the neighbors, with restrictions requested in the name of "religion"....Think of the demands for foot washing basins in the airport in Kansas City for the taxi drivers. Expect the mosque to demand that no pork products or alcohol are served within 500 ft of the mosque....and many other slow but steady reductions in control by the city and the state...Read the 2nd article to see how the Muslim taxi drivers in Minnesota refused to carry passengers with alcohol, or to carry dogs...even guide dogs. It's an example of how they try to bring their culture to the US, and normalize it.
History shows that most temples are built on or near sites of conquest, or on and with the rubble of the previous owners religious buildings....Is this the case here? Or is it just an attempt to take control of an area near a major Muslim victory against infidels and their culture? Perhaps I am wrong in all of this,,,,Perhaps this is just a matter of a bunch of people wanting a place to worship in their own way.....But I think that this is more than that. I think it is a symbol of control and domination of the infidel in his own garden.
Send the link to all your friends. You haven't seen diddly on your local or national news media, have you? Wonder why? Are they afraid? Or are they complicit in the quest for conquest? Why haven't we heard about this via the Mainstream Media? We hear all about Lindsay Lohan...on and on....ad nauseum, Isn't this more important? Shouldn't the MSM do the job we expect and cover this story at least a bit....Isn't something like this more important to the nation?
I am all for religious freedom. But this is, at best, insensitive....If the Muslims wish for free reign, then they should begin by setting an example in their own countries...Is there a single synagogue or Christian church in Saudi Arabia?

Today....
Today I created 981 jobs (I had other things to do, so that part of the day was cut short).
I could do better, but I need more "stimulus" money and more time.
No seriously....It's true! True, I tell ya. Just wait and see. This thing will work. I'm tellin' ya .....
Hey! Barry O!
Sounds just as stupid coming from you as from me....Now you know how the rest of us see your bullshit pronouncements.

Cleaning
The chore of cleaning is the only thing I regret after a day at the range.....
But spending an afternoon at the range with Midwest Chick, Og, and Partner is still worth the effort of scrubbing the lead and powder ash from the barrel.
We caused a great deal of tissue and organ damage to the paper targets, then burned the rest of the pistol ammo with wholesale slaughter of bowling pins.
Og is a mean shot with his .380 Colt (officers?) and Partner is greased lightning on ball bearings with his new 92....Midwest Chick is also a mean shot with my 1911. We all ran out of centerfire and finished the genocide with our .22 pistols.
If there is a better way to waste an afternoon for me, than turning loaded rounds into smoke and noise, in the company of good people.... then I cannot tell you what it is.

Hard to argue with
Read.
Of course, there is this to consider.....It's not the speaker, or even the message, but the reaction of the audience (in this case, the NAACP members). Were these white cops, then, of course, the outcry, the wailing and gnashing of teeth would still be resonating.
Racism is bad. Period.

Girlie-men.
There has been a great deal of discussion about the maniless (or lack therof) in modern men recently. (mostly by women.....)
Women bemoan the lack of what they perceive as manliness in the men they meet and date, and yet they often wish that the man they might meet will be "sensitive", "caring", able to share his emotions, nurturing, and in other words, act like one of their girlfriends.
YOU CAN"T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS, LADIES! You want a man, then get a man. Want a metrosexual weenie? Then go get one of those. While the traits are not necessarially mutually exclusive, if you want a soft, girly man then expect to get one that is soft, and most likely a beta male. Or, deal with the fact that the traits of a manly man (by whatever definition you may use) often come with....well, lets call it baggage.
First, you have to decide what you want in a man. Do you want Dirk Dastardly, the guy that makes your blood boil when you read your "bodice ripper"? Do you seek a man who will stand up for, provide for, and protect his family? Or do you want a male version of your girlfriends? A manly man may have some of, but only some of those qualities. He may not be as exciting as that fellow Dirk, nor as caring (or have as good a fashion sense) as the two gay guys across the street. He will not share "feelings" with you as your girlfriend does....He will have faults.
He will no doubt be less in touch with his emotions than those 2 gay guys, or as your girlfriends, but trust me, the manly man has emotions....He just won't let then show as much. He might take charge... He may be less of a housekeeper that you are, may not be able to detect the difference between pink and peach. He most likely will not share as much with you as to what his fears or frustrations are. He likely won't have a "feminine" side. Deal with it. You get what you choose to have.
Likely, your "manly man" will be able to do many things. Likely, he will expect you to do some things better than he can. Likely, he will have roles for men and women in his mind. He will likely be polite to women, open doors and pull out chairs and such. There will be conversational barriers which he will not comfortably cross until he gets to know you. He may like sports to a degree which you cannot understand. Accept the fact that he is not one of your girlfriends. Enjoy the differences. You want a female roomie born with testicles as original equipment? You (generally) aren't gonna find one who is a manly man.
And ladies:
When you reproduce, if you have a male child, develop him into a man. Don't try to hide his aggressiveness by not letting him play with "boy" toys....Don't drug him into docility, so he acts like a girl at school. . Let him have toy guns, let him have balls and bats, and when he plays team sports, let them keep score. Let him learn how to lose with honor, and win with grace. Teach him how to be courteous. Teach him manners to other people, and especially women. Teach him to treat women with respect. Be a mother which he can use a a yardstick against which to measure other women. Let him be a boy, so he can grow up to be a man, with guidance from you and his father.
Read this essay. Learn from it. Think of all those commercials which show wimpy, emasculated men who need their women to show them the way. Is it any wonder that your boy child is growing up to be a girlie-man? Teach him otherwise. Do so in order that the next generation of women can find men manly enough for them.
