Reading the “Book Of Barkley.….I think you’ll like it.

Now I am biased, because the author is one of my dearest friends, and even more because I star in the book have been a part of her life during the time frame the book encompasses and am mentioned in passing.

Really, it is a good story, you WILL smile, you WILL grimace, you WILL tear up (if you don’t, then I don’t wanna know you….).

Read it, You won’t regret it.

If you order via Amazon, the link is HERE.

If you want to have an autographed copy, here are instructions for how to make that happen.

So 15 people showed up at the range to do the work we had planned.

Which was, to be honest, about 5 more than I expected. For once, it wasn’t the same 10 guys…

We now have a foundation drain that should actually be functional. Maybe the floor won’t weep water this fall and winter on the indoor range.

Would have been nice to have more help, but hey, we actually had 10% of the membership show up, with tools required to do the job.

Folks, if you belong to a volunteer  or member supported organization, when they need help, try to show up and provide that help. Don’t leave all the work to the 10% of people that are there every work day. If you are a member, the BE A MEMBER. It is more than just paying dues….

MY thanks to all of my fellow members who DID show.

Seems like only last week we had a Saturday.

Work day at the range. Will be fixing old storm drains and the bowling pin range (if it can be straightened at all)

General cleanup and such.

I am SO far behind in my work at my house, but this is needful, so I’m going.

Murder? Manslaughter?

I mean, a cop puts a non-resisting person in a chokehold when arresting him. Claims he is resisting because he doesn’t move fast enough and raises his hands to defend himself…. Dude dies.

Luckily, there is video proving the chokehold.

Ruled a homicide by the coroner.

So is the cop going to jail for murder?

But when the NSA is spying on Congress.…well then, that is wrong!

Odd that, Innit?

So he can tell the rest of the kiddies about how bad his trip to the US was.

Little fucker needs to be deported and tossed off of the train which brought him here.

But then again, I am a softie at heart. Others I know would just shoot the ungrateful little bastard.

(Notice there is no discussion of a father at his new home.)

Only got fed twice a day…and ham sandwiches at that. Mebbe you should have stayed home Young Saul.

(and just who are the members of the “Congressional Panel” who heard his testimony and what powers do they have, anyway?) Can they do anything, or are they just wasting money hearing sob stories to gin up  publicity and sympathy for the ungrateful little urchins)

Seems he won his suit for $1.8 Million against Chris Kyle’s estate. 

Dude hasta take from widows and children?  I got no respect for him.

So Friday, we are at the bowling alley, practicing to get the arm and such in shape because league starts on a few weeks.

Standing at the counter is a security guard:  a local cop.

Dude has a tactical vest on, with the front pockets filled with magazines and a bunch of unidentifiable stuff. 2 pockets held Glock mags, which made sense because he had a Glock on his hip.

Three other pockets held what appeared to be AR 30 round magazines…..Plastic ones with the old style fabric pull tab on the bottom.

Being the inquisitive sort of dude that I am, I asked him….”Are those AR magazines?”

“Yep”.

“Why carry all that weight if you don’t have an AR on your shoulder? I mean, yer in a Bowling Alley“

“The AR is in the car, and I need to have the spare mags handy on my vest if/when if I need ’em.” (the car was 150 feet away, through 2 sets of doors)

I think he just wanted to impress all the 14 year old kids that come there on Friday evenings on the summer.

I mean, since DC is now “Constitutional Carry” I wonder how soon anarchy will roam the environs of the city….How red will the streets run? How many thousands upon thousands will dies from being gunned down in the streets?

Or are you, like me, of the opinion that there will be little (if any) effect….Might be a small reduction in crime, rather than the above.

Either way, hearing the lamentations of the Liberals is gratifying. 

When history will revile the name of Barack Obama and no one will want to be remembered as voting for him, working with him, or ever having known him. The damage he is doing to the country, the economy of the United States, our military preparedness, to the security of our borders (and all the implications for terrorism that that implies), to our relations with our allies, and to the culture of the people of this country will someday make him the most despised president ever. There will come a time when people will not admit to supporting him….when they will sell the cars upon which they placed “Obama” bumper stickers for fear of retribution.

At first I thought it was incompetence or naivete that led to the terrible things he did/has done to our country. No more. I am coming to believe that his actions and the actions of his supporters are a series of actions which indicate that there is a plan to harm both the country as a whole and the citizens upon which its strength resides. Now, I wonder if he was, in fact, placed where he is by our adversaries to facilitate damaging our country and economy.

If he continues as he has, until 2016, without the Legislature stopping him, he will, as he has promised, “Fundamentally transform America”…..at the expense of those citizens who are the lifeblood and the strength of this country. Further, he will have weakened “America” to the point where she will no longer be able to defend herself against her neighbors or adversaries.

I have no issues with a person whose philosophy is different than mine, so long as they wish to keep the US strong and vibrant we can agree on many things, to disagree.  Not so Barry Soetoro. I believe he hates the US and wishes to destroy this country. I am not so sure his published past is a true story, and, while I realize this sounds fairly tinfoil,  sometimes think that if I were an enemy of the US I could not find a person who could have done more damage from within than he has.

Remember, Rome fell not because of the barbarians outside of the gates, but from within. When the barbarians came, they found the gates already open.

Rant over.
