I don’t live in Colorado

And now, thanks to new (and, in my NSHO, stupid) legislation, I likely will not visit.

But were I Governor Hickenlooper, I’d remember the example set when his Director of Prisons apparently pissed off the wrong people/person enough that they chose to ignore the law.

I don’t know Mr. Clements, nor do I (did I) wish him any ill. He likely didn’t deserve what happened to him.

Having said that, perhaps his example will be a lesson to other officials of government.

Lampposts and rope and assembly and all that bit.

Just sayin’.

How many white house tours

Would THIS have paid for?  A million dollars for 2 nights in Paris? Biden likes spending your money almost as much as Obama…

I’ll believe that there is a budget issue when they begin acting like it.

Otherwise I’ll continue to believe that the White house just wants to make it hurt the little guy

Seeds

Taught a First Steps Pistol course today.

11 people who weren’t shooters. Now (hopefully) have the skills to begin to learn.

11 people…. who a year ago, many who even a few months ago, wouldn’t have considered taking the time to learn this skill.

At least 9 totally new shooters. 7 soon to be gun owners. 1 already owned one, but had never shot hers

Truly, it is a rewarding experience.

I don’t charge for my time, but sometimes after leaving the class range, I wonder if I should pay them for the happiness I feel.

And I swear, the more Obama and Feinstein talk, the more shooters they create.

So: A Question:

Since the DNC and their adherents can’t seem to keep track of illegal aliens, and cannot keep them from crossing the border….

Just what makes them think that they will be able to track privately held and sold guns and and prevent people from smuggling them in to our country over that same border?

I mean, really.

Got money in the bank?

Think it is safe because it is FDIC insured?

That is what the depositors at the banks in Cyprus thought..

But the government of Cyprus and the EU masters and the IMF thought they had a better idea….

The people may not have allowed the theft bailout to happen, but the fact that it was even considered should frighten you.

The DNC types have been eyeing all that saved money here in the US for a long time. The retirement accounts especially.

Think about it.  

So with Gun Control on the rocks

and the banners/gungrabbers/ Gun Control adherents all upset about their Failure to Launch anywhere except in New York….

I cannot help but wonder where the next tragedy including a gun, a mental patient (likely a Democrat, is there a connection?), and a crowded gun free zone will occur.

Gotta have blood for them to dance in, and gotta have dead bystanders (preferably kids) in order to have something for them to DO SOMETHING.  Kinda hard on the victims, but someone has to be sacrificed for the Greater Good.

How are they gonna get a chance to remove the rest of your rights if they can’t get that pesky Second Amendment out of the way?

Malls and movie theaters didn’t get the people riled up enough, there apparently weren’t enough victims and apparently a school full of Childrenz didn’t do it either either….

Expect something soon. Try not to be where it happens.

You heard it here second.

Or you could stick to

Being conservative

Rather than trying to change your message.

Conservatives (who don’t say stupid things, or things which the press can twist to make them look stupid) are generally elected, at least at the state level. Likely it’ll be the same at the national level.

We don’t know if Conservatism will work on a national level, because WE HAVEN’T TRIED TO FOR THE LAST FEW ELECTIONS. We have put forth a weasel, a wishy-washy mouthpiece, a RINO. An old man who no one believed in and a “conservative” from the East Coast. Truthfully, Romney as a Massachusetts “conservative” was less conservative than most “liberals” from the midwest….

If the RNC really wants to elect someone, then they need to recruit and support a true conservative. A man or woman who has morals, and standards, and who will appeal to the people who make this country work…who pay taxes and get the job done. Not a person who will appeal to the union robots faithful, not to the radical liberals (who won’t vote for a republican anyway) and not to the inner city entitlement crowd (who know where their bread comes from).

Nope, give people a clear choice and many, if not most, of the middle 30-40% will vote for the conservative.

But we haven’t given them anyone like that, have we?

They trot out the Rubios and the Cruzes and the Jindals at election time as spokesmen, but they don’t encourage or support them to run for higher office. And until they do, they’ll always lose.

And so will we. 

things you learn, part 459.3 (&1/2)

Sunday afternoon, I learned:

If you take 1/8th (or less) of a one ounce tube of Never-Seize and let it loose in the bottom of your toolbox on your truck, then drive for a while…..

Said small amount of Never-Seize will then spread itself over each and every surface inside said toolbox…in the attempt to make itself one molecule thick. It even climbed up the sides of the box and the lid.

It took 3 cans of carburetor cleaner and 2 hours and untold rags to make the tools and the box somewhat clean.
