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.

Memorial Day

Monday is a day which causes most veterans to pause and reflect upon the sacrifices of our brothers and sisters for the cause of freedom. It's a day to remember that the sacrifice of a few, in combat, was what created this nation and that all of those who have paid the ultimate price for said freedom have made it last all these decades.

I lift a glass to the memory of absent companions. Whether I knew you or even met you is moot, you served, you are my brother and I hold the memory of your sacrifice dear.

Have an enjoyable Memorial Day in honor of those who made it possible to do so in a free society.

Quick Update

Those who enjoy reading some of the blogs I link to are going to notice a change in the sidebar. Worldwide War Pigs has moved and it's owner Eric Palmer has opened a new log on Word Press. I have therefore, changed the link appropriately.

For a second update, I may be changing jobs in the next week. This isn't going to have any effect on the glacially slow blogging I have been doing to this point, but there may be some new subject matter concerning stupid people.

Since I'm here, I do want you all to wander over to Blackfive and take a look at Laughing Wolf
s newest post. It seems a friend of his that is a top notch supporter of the troops has attracted a libtard and would like a bit of moral support.

I Plan To Blame This On John Ringo

If you don't read John, you're missing out. One of his main characters winds up singing this and it's damn catchy and possibly appropriate.

Awesome

Well, today, the 4" Springfield XD .45 ACP went on layaway.

I can't wait.

It's Making Me Think

As I said before, I've been watching Babylon 5 and now it's making me think. If you've seen the series, then you know that There was a war that involved the Shadows and the Vorlons, the Vorlons ask, "Who are you?" the Shadows ask "What do you want?" and it turns me to some introspection. Who am I? and what do I want? A couple of great questions for one to ponder. I will not go into any of my ponderings here as I do not speak very often of personal things.

I am a bit curious about one thing though. What was the last thing that triggered a bout of introspection for you? If it's really personal, I don't expect you to share it, but I'll throw the question out there anyway.

Art Imitates Life?

I have been revisiting the Sci Fi series Babylon 5. I just finished up Disk 2 of Season 3 and I was taking a break when it occurred to me that this series was aired in 1995. I wonder if J. Michael Straczynski might have somehow seen Obama coming?

It's really strange to watch this and see the creeping incrementalism from the formation of "Knight Watch" to promote peace up to the declaration of martial law. Strange...and frightening.

If you haven't watched the entire series, I encourage it, especially now, it's a quick look at art imitating life.
