Have a safe and happy Independence Day.

Reading Assignment

You want to go read this.

If you agree with anything Obambi is doing, read it twice and commit it to memory as it may come back to bite you in the ass later.

H/T Blackfive

When you're done, go read this.

If you agree with anything Obambi is doing, read it again, carefully, word for word. Just saying.

Palin 2012

Saw this on MSNBC.com.

I do say that I have to disagree with Howard Fineman on this though. I believe that Sarah is quite intelligent. Any issues she had last election were brought about by having to play things McCain's way. On her own, I think the libs will find her very formidable.

She likely has more knowledge of foreign affairs than Obambi does, and she certainly won't be alienating our allies and bowing to Saudi Kings.

Washington "insiders" have put this country where it is now, she has to be better than they are, she doesn't have the ingrained sense of "this is how it's done" to keep on fucking it up like they do.

What we need is...

Some common sense Branch cutter control.

A man with a history of domestic violence was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend with a branch cutter, seriously inuring her early Saturday on the South Side.

Obviously, the proliferation of these assault branch cutters must be stopped. We need to look at ways to close the hardware store loophole that allows these dangerous weapons to be accessed easily. We call for a 5 day waiting period and branch cutter registration to stem the tide of this violence.

Another of the Greatest Generation Gone

I bumped into this this morning. The greatest generation in American history is leaving us. What will this nation become when they're gone? Look at what it has been allowed to become while they're still here.

Preparedness Part Deux

I often stick a little something in here about the art of being prepared. My readings at War on Guns by David Codrea revealed this link and I think it might be worthwhile to go check it out and read through the material there. Free is everyone's second favorite F word.

Take A Look Around

Yep, posting got all slow again but that's why I have so many exciting links in the ol blog roll. There is a place that you can go to learn all kinds of cool stuff.

Over at Brigid's, you have a nice little primer on basic reloading without spending a ton of money.

Always a good read at the Anti Idiotarian Rottweiler.

KABA keeps you up to date on all the important gun news.

Tam lets you know where the cool kids gather, and when.

So even though I may not be writing every day, I'm certainly reading and you should too.

Fire Letterman

I would like you all to go support this:

I have never thought the man was the least bit funny plus I think his band sucks, but what he said about the Palin family goes so far beyond the pale that it makes one sick.

Thank You Theo

Stole this from Theo Spark.

May History Never Forget Your Valor

65 years ago today, Allied troops stormed the beaches at Normandy. Approximately 10,000 of them paid the ultimate price for freedom. The survivors are fewer now and getting fewer everyday.

To them I say: May History Never Forget Your Valor.

Speaking of valor, I would like to point out that today is also the 67th anniversary of the Battle of Midway. Today specifically being day 2 and the day where the last air attacks took place claiming the IJN Mikuma. This was also the day that the I-168 topedoed and sank the Destroyer Hammann and heavily damaged the Carrier Yorktown, which would finally sink on the 7th.

Late Again

I just now remembered that it is past time for a little feature that has become a tradition here. The early Summer/supposed to have been done in the Springtime, preparedness post.

Here's a site you might be interested in for basic supplies. Nitro-Pak.com it may sound slightly paranoid to you but take a look around where you live. Jobs are disappearing, taxes are going up, there was just a Jihadist attack in Alabama. You maybe used to laugh, or at least smile and shake your head, at the folks that espouse preparedness but maybe you want to look at this subject again.

It's not just this kind of stuff either, have you checked the batteries in all your flashlights and smoke detectors? Have you tested your weather alert radio? Is your storm shelter up to snuff? Do you have 3 days worth of basic survival supplies on hand in case of a tornado or a flood or a hurricane?

Too many people focus on that thing called TEOTWAWKI, but what about a short term disruption in normal life? Are you ready?

Supreme Court Pick

Well, justices haven't been chosen for judicial excellence in a very long time so why should this one be any different? The primary question about this woman seems to be her stance on the Second Amendment. Now I think that's too narrow a focus, to be honest, I think we need to look at the total package on these Obama appointees. Look at the history of said appointees to date, almost all of them have been tax cheats. Most are radical liberals if not outright socialists. Should we only focus on Second Amendment issues? I think not. I believe that the total package needs to be looked at here.

For all of us who consider ourselves to be Patriots or Oath Keepers or 3%'ers, we have to be alarmed at the people being appointed to power in this regime, err, I mean administration. Are these the domestic enemies we're supposed to be protecting our constitution from? Just how much danger is our Republic in? I don't think this is solely a Second Amendment issue folks, I think this reaches much farther than that. Look at what the Obamessiah has done to the economy already, how about the Auto companies, what about military spending? How about the way he acts? He's insulted most of our allies, he bowed to the King of Saud, he went on a world apology tour. Communist leaders are telling him to stop, what the fuck is wrong with this picture?

The Second Amendment may be the one that protects the others, but even while focused on the rights protected by that amendment, we must be wary of assaults on all the others for I fear if we don't, there won't be a Constitution left for the Second Amendment to protect.
