Not That I Listen to Him Very Often...

I saw this quote from John Kerry:

“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.

Simple slogan? You mean like "Yes, we can"? How about "Hope" and "Change"? That sound familiar?

I had to laugh.

Remember, because so many want us to forget.

Nine years ago the United States was attacked by fanatics professing a particularly virulent strain of radical Islam. Almost 3000 of our countrymen, including hundreds of heroic first responders, were killed.


We have been at war ever since. We are still at war, regardless of what those who profess to "lead" us believe.


We will be at war until there is no enemy. Or there is no us.


Remember, because so many want us to forget.

Obama Acknowledges He Practiced Shooting With The Secret Service

President Obama is anti-handgun… because he knows that a handgun is only good for fighting your way back to your rifle.


Obama’s deep, dark secret isn’t that he’s a Muslim, it’s that he’s a gun nut. He has a prayer rug, but it’s embroidered with the image of John Moses Browning.

Obama scoffs at the 9mm vs. .45 ACP debate; instead his CCL authorized a tactical nuclear strike.

Sometimes, when he’s bored, Obama sends Sarah Brady anonymous gift wrapped packages containing a bottle of Hoppe’s No. 9.

After the election, he let everyone freak out and start buying up ammo because he was still sitting on a pallet of corrosive Bulgarian .380 that he got roped into buying at the Knob Creek shoot back in the 90′s, and he’s been trying to unload it for years.

In exchange for letting her plant an organic garden at the White House, Michelle has to let Barack keep his prized Dillon XL 650 in the West Wing; no single stage for him, he’s a progressive.

Must Be A Slow Day...

Another Day...

What I Found Out Today...

The patron saint of bacon is Saint Anthony the abbot.

He’s also the patron saint of swine herders, butchers, epilepsy, amputees, shingles, gravediggers, hermits, lost items, and Canas Brazil.

EWWWWWWWW !!!!

Another Ninth Circuit Success Story...

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is well known for being stocked with leftist whackos, exactly the sort of judges that rightwing whackos scream about.

Well, there’s something new to scream about: the 9th Circuit has determined that the police may track you at all times without a warrant.

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2013150,00.html

Government agents can sneak onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn’t violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway — and no reasonable expectation that the government isn’t tracking your movements.

Awesome.

Now the questions is… if you discover a GPS tracking device on your car, what are you legally allowed to do with it?

Obvious suggestions include:

1) Remove and destroy

2) Leave it alone, and drive only where you want the authorities to know you’re going

3) Remove and place in garbage

4) Remove and place on random civilian vehicle

5) Remove and place on long-haul freight truck

6) Remove and mail to Hong Kong

7) Remove and mail to cops

8 ) Remove and send to FBI via strip-o-gram

9) Remove and sell on ebay

10) Remove, disassemble and use as part of an autonomous aircraft guidance system. post videos to Youtube, be sure to thank authorities for the free donation of the electronics that made it all possible

11) Remove and place on police car (slightly risky)

12) Remove and attach to helium-filled weather balloon

13) Remove and attach to sewer rat

14) Remove and “clone” so that there are, say, fifty of you running around

Have fun!   :)

Time as We Know It....

I occasionally use time travel myself.

I was shopping at a grocery store when a co-worker who happened to be shopping there also came by and asked if that was my brother I had just been talking to. I usually reply with a classy "Huh?" but for some reason I replied "No that's actually me from the future. I've come back to destroy the time machine."

"What time machine?" He demanded.

"The one in the walk in freezer, of course. I'm not going to keep something dangerous like that around the house, you know."

He laughed, and that's when I hit him.

When he asked if I was crazy, I told him, "Look, the last time a guy in a leather diaper was bearing down on you with a giant pitch fork, you told me to hit you if you ever laughed at the idea of time travel."

I swear I don't know why they look at me sideways when I'm at my desk....

Let’s get the groundwork out of the way.

To the left, it’s an article of faith that America is too powerful. America is too influential. America is too rich. America consumes too much. Americans as a group are too independent, too rowdy, not controlled enough. Americans are too nationalistic, too unwilling to give up part or all of their sovereignty to “emerging world governance”.

America needs to be humbled. Americans need to have their confidence shattered, to become introspective, to consider (finally, at long last) “why they hate us”. America needs to bow to world opinion.

All of this is necessary in order to advance the single paramount social good: equality (of outcome). Equality is more important than anything else. In particulaar, equality is more important than freedom. Creating a state of equality, and maintaining it, will require government control and if individual liberty opposes that, then liberty shall have to give way.

With Obama, the left finally has a president who is in tune with this philosophy

That must have been what he meant by transparency....

The Obama administration is seeking to make it easier for the FBI to compel companies to turn over records of an individual's Internet activity without a court order if agents deem the information relevant to a terrorism or intelligence investigation.



The administration wants to add just four words -- "electronic communication transactional records" -- to a list of items that the law says the FBI may demand without a judge's approval. Government lawyers say this category of information includes the addresses to which an Internet user sends e-mail; the times and dates e-mail was sent and received; and possibly a user's browser history.

It’s what free men did, and do.

Just as state schooling is not about education, but about the state, gun control is not about guns: It’s about control.

A citizen who can fend for himself when the predators come or the schools fail is less inclined to look to the state for sustenance and oversight in other areas of life.

To progressives, that’s an invitation to anarchy.

To the men who wrote the Second Amendment, it was a condition of citizenship in a free republic.

It’s what free men did, and do.

Think of it This Way.....

The U.S. Constitution is about limiting government.

It gives enumerated powers to government and guarantees specific enumerated inalienable rights to individuals...

So much for Gov't Reform!

On this day in 1945, at 5:29:45 a.m., the Manhattan Project comes to an explosive end as the first atom bomb is successfully tested in Alamogordo, New Mexico.

The original $6,000 budget for the Manhattan Project finally ballooned to a total cost of $2 billion.

State Department Does It Again....

We keep hearing from the left how the Obama Administration is at least neutral on the Second Amendment and private ownership of firearms. Then we get crap like this from said Obama Administration.

The United States is pleased to join the international community in observing International Small Arms Destruction Day as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce armed violence and support the rule of law around the world.

Excess, loosely secured, or otherwise at-risk small arms, light weapons and munitions pose both a security and humanitarian risk worldwide.

I could point out that the contempt shown the U. S. Constitution, our law of the land and a document that as a agency of the United States Government the State Department is bound, by the State Department shows just what they really think about rule of law. Support for the activities of the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) also show us where their heart is. Obama, Hilliary, and their ass kissers have no respect for our rights. If they can find a way to strip of our firearms and our rights, they will.

 

AND WHAT THE HELL IS "Excess"??????

The Spectre of Martial Law....

The Constitution of the United States was drafted as a means to reign in government and force it to respect the freedoms of the people.

It exists to deter the power hungry, for under the Constitution they are supposed to be denied the control they thirst for, not given unrestrained supremacy.

Martial law is a tool by which the power hungry can remove the restraints of the Constitution and cast aside freedoms on a whim.

This is unacceptable no matter the state of affairs.

War, terrorism, economic collapse, environmental catastrophe, none of these events gives anyone the license to usurp our liberties.

It cannot and will not be allowed.

As the 4th of July is celebrated, we here in America should remember what it means to call ourselves a “sovereign people”.

It is a title every man is born with but few men have the strength and fortitude to keep.

“Independence” requires taxing vigilance, a persevering spirit, and the determination to see that neither is tread upon.

Independence has a price.

In the event that we are confronted with martial law in this country, it is a price we may have to pay all over again.

Independance Day

Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Remember where and why it all happened, remember that the battle still rages on today.

The Rights of free people are always at risk when the people don't jealously protect them.

Overheard in a Newsroom...

Reporter, to no one in particular: “If they roll (the late Senator) Byrd over in his casket, is that flipping the Byrd?”

Sports Editor who is unsure if the Netherlands is plural: “I have a question about the Netherlands.”

Copy Chief: “Don’t we all.”

Promo producer: “Getting drunk and detonating shit. That’s how I celebrate America.”
 
Editor: “Technically a dog is a male, and a bitch is a female.”

Reporter: “In the words of Ice Cube, a bitch is a bitch.”

Digital editor after a conversation about space station supply ship: “It doesn’t sound like we’re in a newsroom. It sounds like we’re on the bridge of the fucking Enterprise.”

Boss to police reporter while protesters were outside the office: “No, I didn’t say you couldn’t go down there I just said you couldn’t spit on them or urinate on them.”

Reporter, trying describe a new dance club to editor: “How do we say ‘stripper pole’ in a family newspaper?”

Tech guy: “You guys have a lot of garbage cans in here.”

Editor: “We used to have a lot more people here.”

Tool Time!

From another site:


DRILL PRESS:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, “Oh, crap!”

VISE-GRIPS:
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:
Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW:

HOSE CUTTER:
A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

SOB TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling Son of a b#@*h” at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

General McChrystal was right!!!

Let's face it,
when you report to a cast of clowns, none of which have ever carried a weapon or fired a shot in anger, their ineptitude is galling to most warriors.

When you are fighting an insane war in a region that in no way can be termed a "country" -  but a series of disconnected tribes, it can be galling to be shot at and in most cases you can't shoot back.

When you are reporting to a cast of clowns that have never run anything in their life but lived mostly in academia and off the largesse of the taxpayer, it can be galling at best.


When you are reporting to a self described Messiah who was a community organizer, has broken every promise he made while running for president, has screwed up and muddled up every facet of America today in his regency from healthcare, to the financial industry, to the automobile industry, to Afghanistan, to the oil spill in Louisiana, to the so called job creation mantra, and to the foreign relations area where our prestige in the world has plummeted in the very countries where he went on his apology for America tours, it can be galling.

Shamelessly Stolen :)
