Happy New Year

May the upcoming year be good for you, prosperous and satisfying for each of you.

Me: I'll be glad to see 2014 in my rearview mirror,

It's almnost enough

To make you glad he lost....

"McCain wages "All Out War" to rid AZ GOP of Tea Party

Almost....

He's "conservative" only when compared to Obama and his ilk.

Yoonyuns and Democrats taking care of working folks

Yeah, they are allowing the unions to reduce pensions because said unions haven't adequately funded the pension funds......Seems that they skimmed a bit too much over the years and now they want to cut pensions to those folks who worked hard and paid those union dues and paid into the pension funds so they could retire after 20+ years with a good living.....

Watching out for the working man and all that.....

Manhunt, huh?

So the LA police did a "Manhunt" early Monday morning because some officers thought they might have been shot at. 

Now, on the one hand, I don't have any issues with this.

On the other hand, if the police could pull officers from other locations and find all that manpower to do the area wide search and manhunt, why can't they do it for everyone? I mean, it isn't like that was the first gunshot heard in the area that month or even that week.

Odd, innit how they can react so forcefully with all those cops when it might be a cop who is the target....But not when it is another citizen who is shot at.......And lets not even talk about how they responded when Chris Dorner scared them and threatened them


I'm just sayin'.

So....

the only thing I wanted that I didn't get for Christmas was a backhoe attachment for my Kubota tractor (the better to hide the evidence with....).

I sincerely hope you all had an excellent Christmas this year.

And a Merry Christmas to all

To each of my readers, May you have the most merry and satisfying Christmas this year.

Whatever your traditions, be it homebound, be it spent with friends, with family, whatever you do to recharge your spirit, I wish you good tidings and joy.

Again, to those forced by duty to be tasked away from friends and family: Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Please remember the reason for this season though.

A though goes out

To all of you having to work for us on either Christmas eve or Christmas day:

Police, Fire, etc.

Thank you.

And to all those Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen standing post or standing watch on these days:

Again, thank you for your service and sacrifice. Have a Merry Christmas.

To the rest of you: Say thanks to these folks as well. They stand between us and evil. Appreciate that.

24th:

On the 24th of December, the UN Arms Trade Treaty goes into effect.

Now, the Senate hasn't ratified it, so it means nothing. Unless Barry decides (and Congress chooses to let him (again)) to do and end run around Congress, it won't matter to us.

But just in case they have a plan, Here is your practice target:

My Grandma always said...

"Don't want none? Don't bring none..."

Seems that North Korea is having serious Internet issues. Odd that.

Apparently

Joe Cocker has passed.



Always loved his tunes.







and:

Look what private oil well drilling has done to my neighborhood!

I mean, really. Who would have expected that I would have to deal with stuff like this?

It is a good thing Barry didn't want to let anyone drill back in 2008. I mean, just think....What might we have to deal with today?

"You can't drill your way to lower gas prices"

You really need to see this

A somewhat different view of the "Gentle Giant" they called Mike Brown....


He wasn't as nice as they'd like you to think. 

(and BTW, notice just how big he really was...)

Thought for the day:

 

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

― Benjamin Franklin

Just plain fuckin' STUPID

Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Locked in a car for over 12 hours.

LOCKED.

IN. A CAR.

Too stupid to unlock it using the buttons on the door. Too stupid to turn on the interior lights and try reading the manual.

There are days when I feel that living "Down Under" might be better than living in the US (except for the gun ban part), but then I read this and realize that the people there might well be even stupider than some living here in the US.

question:

Since some of the folks who (allegedly) lost children or loved ones in the Sandy Hook shootings are suing Bushmaster because they were the manufacturer of the rifle that Adam Lanza stole from his (murdered) mother and used to (allegedly) kill the (alleged) victims in the school.....

Why aren't they also suing the pharmaceutical companies which made the psychotropic drugs which had been fed to the aforementioned Adam Lanza for years, breaking his (admittedly tenuous) grip on reality and sanity?
It would seem to me that the drugs had as much or more direct and indirect cause as the (alleged) firearm...

Or the Auto manufacturer that The aforementioned Mr. Lanza used to drive to the school? 

(and yes, I say (alleged) because there are way too many inconsistencies in the assorted stories and accounts, and because the timing was SO terribly convenient for the Anti-Gun folks and because it was just shortly after several other gun massacres that also fit the meme of the Anti Gun folks....

And especially because when the American Public failed to support such anti gun measures even after the (alleged) Sandy Hook "massacre" then, strangely, such gun tragedies suddenly.....stopped. )

Odd that. 

Truth:

You know that this is true, especially after the spending bill they just passed:

Definition of "hero"

THIS is a HERO.

Big,stainless steel (cryogenically hardened, mind you) balls. I bet he clanked when he walked.

Sadly he is gone.

Some folks are mentioning that he was gay. I say, who cares. He stood up when the time was right and did what a man is supposed to do.

Would that if my time comes I could do as well.

But, But, But, you said:

Was he lying? Or just stupid"
















If you aren't reading the Outrider every day, yer missing out.

Out of my mind:

Please leave a message

Back later when I have more time for intelligent posting. 

Read the folks in the left column.

Oh, and BTW:

That spending bill? IT FUNDED OBAMACARE AND AMNESTY.

I am thinking lampposts and rope and politicians.

(Some assembly required).

Others seem to think that it should be open season on RINO's
