Ostracized

For doing right.

But the Muslims choose culture over country.

And that is NOT a good thing for either them or us..

on "McDonald"

Everyone is happy. I am too, in a way. But I am disappointed also:

The Supremes didn't really give us what we wanted, either in overturning the law in Chicago, or in providing clear direction as to what was acceptable vs what is not regarding limits to the 2nd. While I personally think that there should be no limits, clearly there will be some. But with no clear direction or ruling, all that they have done is to open the door for more litigation and more strife They have said that the law in Chicago was too broad, but have not defined what "too broad" really is.  The next set of limitations that will soon be in place in Chicago will, of course, be tried in court. This will take years, likely again with no clear ruling. Without such ruling, there can be no argument against laws in other states like California or Massachusetts or Wisconsin. Without such rulings, we as supporters of the 2nd have effectively been emasculated. There can be little agitation for change, as they have effectively not given us a set of rules to agitate against. Nor can we, in the near future, see any standard for carriage of arms across state lines, nor have we any hope to get a nationwide standard of LTC laws or rules.

So I am disappointed. This ruling for "McDonald", like "Heller" is not really a set of answers to the issues we really need to have defined and resolved.

Perhaps this was the intent of the Court.  Perhaps it was simply cowardice.Perhaps they are merely stalling any real decision.

Either way, a time for rejoicing (yay) and a time to face a disappointment.

We essentially got nothing from the Supreme Court. Except a continuation of turmoil and litigation.

Thought:

The US Constitution may not be the best system possible..... but it is a damned sight better than the system we are currently using.

Stupid gap

Read the comments.

A reason for the "wealth or income gap": Smart people keep on doing things that are smart and make them money while stupid people keep on doing things that are stupid and keep them from achieving.
People who get an education, stay off of drugs, apply themselves, and save and wisely invest their earnings do a lot better than people who drop out of school, become substance abusers, and buy fancy cars and houses that they can't afford, only to lose them.
We don't have an income gap. We have a stupid gap. Guess which group voted for Obama

Rate the O

THIS poll, while not very scientific, is nonetheless telling.

And the story ain't so good for Mr. Obama.

Incompetence is what you generally get when you select an academic.....and when said academic has as his crowning achievement a failed community organizing job, which wasted a bunch of tax dollars with no real solution to the problems which they were trying to fix.....

Hope&Change and all that doesn't get you very far in the real world, does it, Barry?

Sweet buttery Jesus, I hate Wal-Mart.

Not that I have anything against the retailer themselves. They sell decent goods (mostly) at low prices. I wish that they had more products that are made in the US, but that doesn't go with the low price thing so much, so there it is...  I generally avoid the place, but I am partial to their cheap tennis shoes, which I consider as disposables for working in the yard and such.

What I hate are the people at Wal-Mart. Not the clerks and stockers, but the customers. Generally they are either self centered (stop to chat in the middle of the aisle, and block anyone behind them while they discuss their teeth or whatever with someone they haven't seen in a week or so) or massively overweight, unable to control either their hips or the cart, and colliding with anyone/anything that isn't actively dodging them. (now you know why Wal-Mart has such wide aisles)...Or they are stupid enough to make a cow look like a rocket scientist.....I am talking inbred sub cattle stupid. And generally slow in their motions as well as their cognitive processes.....3 toed sloth slow.....Turtles in snow slow. And let us not even go into the interesting and varied modes of dress.

I feel like I lost 30 IQ points in there, and at least 10% of my life force.

I'm not sure it is worth it to save $20 on a pair of cheap sneakers.

Take the time to email this link to all of your friends. Make this go viral.

At least the Gov. of AZ cares enough to stand up to the big O.

Seriously, send this to everyone you know. Ask them to pass it along.

All I can say is....

THIS is what you get when you have a bunch of academics running things instead of people who have actually DONE something in life where they actually need to produce.

I swear that I know groups of high school juniors who could coordinate better, and make better decisions.

Food for thought

Read. Think. Choose your side. I know where I stand...Do you?

Are you ready?

Will you stand strong and fight when the time comes? Will you be steadfast? Will you draw your line in the sand and stand by it? Will you guard this republic, and fight to keep it?

Or will you stand and watch as it is swept aside, destroyed, by the tide of socialism and "fairness"?

Sooner or later, you may have the opportunity to make your choice as to your actions. What will your choice be? Stand for something? Or watch as this great republic falls to the insidious creeping socialism which is infecting this country? Be a live coward or a dead hero? I know where my choices may lead me, and am willing ti make that decision.

I'd rather fight the good struggle valiantly and die than let this country fail due to my inaction, and die old in bed regretting my failure to act.

3 cats and a mouse deciding what is for dinner........

That's what the US will look like if we let THIS happen.

Larger/more popular states will decide who the rest of us get for a president.

I'd prefer that my state have a say as to what idiot we have in charge. If this goes through, then 4 states get to decide.....and 2 of them are socialist already.

At least buy me dinner first.....

So I got the word from the insurance company today.

While the tree was the property of my neighbor, and it is considered an "act of God" (wind) which made the tree fall on MY barn, it is MY insurance company which has responsibility for the cleanup and repairs....Not a big deal, except that it is ME who has to come up with the deductible.

$500.00

This is going to seriously impact my ammo/gun budget. I may have to cut back for 2 or three months. Maybe to less than 500 rds/month.....and no new firearms for a few months. Maybe longer.

Usually, I get drinks and dinner before getting screwed. Maybe a movie. Not so here.

Followup

Seems that this post might have been on target.

Check out this communication to AZ governor Jan Brewer regarding the AZ law allowing LEO to check for citizenship. Seems to be a common thread here. "We need comprehensive immigration reform", and we need to do this before we do anything else regarding illegal immigration....

Hope she told him to go piss up a rope.

Don't the socialists realize that the illegals are damaging the country irreparably, and that despite their socialist dreams and ideals, the illegal immigration and subsequent drain on the economy harms the legal citizens of this country?

Are their ideals more important than the welfare and security of the citizens of this country? Apparently, to them, that choice is already made. Anyone who works against the welfare of this country is a traitor, and deserves the maximum punishment. IMO, there is no difference between those who would commit espionage which harms the security of the US and those who would promote continued illegal immigration to this country with the resultant harm that those people do to the Us economy.

Were the choice up to me, anyone who chooses to promote such an agenda should be tried as a traitor and if found guilty, hung. By the neck. Until dead. Eventually, we will run out of socialists Democrats those who would sacrifice the interests of the citizens of the US for their ideals. their ideals.

Perhaps they will do things by FIAT or DECREE instead.

Yer leader

even bears need a good soak every so often.

Interesting....

yup. What he said.

Management

I think that the O is getting a bad rap here regarding McChrystal. There is no way he can have this guy work for him after he foolishly spouted off to Rolling Stone, and after publication of his remarks.

While Obama may not be much of a manager, he really had to ask for the resignation. Criticism is one thing, this is another.

One wonders about the quality of judgement of General McCrystal. He basically fired himself once he opened his mouth.

Betcha never expected me to defend Barry, did you?

Mexico has balls.

To think that they can do this in an attempt to keep their illegal, border crossing, citizens in this country. "defending their citizens rights? What rights? They are here ILLEGALLY! They have zero rights.

Would that the Mexicans could be as open to illegal immigrants in their borders. Instead, their laws make it illegal to be in their country unless you have a visa, work permit, or are a citizen.

The courts should throw the Mexican counsel out on their ear.

THought for the day

Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice.

Stolen from HERE

What else is lost?

See THIS article about a man who resurrected the words of Edison, and other old recorded radio broadcasts...

The issue wasn't the condition of the media, but rather the loss of technology to play back the sounds. Seems that no one has a handy machine....a "pallophotophone" (shaking light sound) with which to playback the audio.

Despite the lack, and the need to "reinvent the wheel" they were successful in recreating the playback machine.

But one wonders what other media is languishing in some vault, or on a shelf, with no playback device...How much other data is lost forever, Ala NASA and the moon landing video and audio...

So does it really matter? Should we care?

Sarah Palins Breasts

are a big topic of discussion lately, size, "perkiness" etc. Did she or did she have work done....

Who cares?

The size or firmness of her breasts is of little importance when compared to the Mr. Obamas apparent lack of testicles.

We now return you to your illusion of normalcy.
