We got civilized

They didn’t.

Barry, you are an ass. A total disingenuous ass. With bells. and cherries.

Yes, centuries ago, when the standards for behavior were different, when life was cheaper, the Christians were barbarians according to today’s standards….So were the Jews. And especially, so were the Muslims.So were the Vikings.

That was then, this is today.

Today, however, the Jews and the Christians have a much more civilized standard of behavior.

To justify actions taken TODAY, in this century, by comparing those actions to those of peoples and civilizations of 200, 500 , 700 and even a thousand years ago is to justify the fact that the Muslims (at least a significant subset of them) are stuck in third century standards of behavior.

We got civilized. They didn’t. If they can’t, then we need to eradicate them.

Making excuses for barbaric behavior by bringing up acts from hundreds of years ago is, at the basics, a lie.

You make the case for “Us or Them” .

It won’t end well for them. They may have the numbers, but we in the west have better toys. Once we decide they are barbarians, they will cease to exist.

I told ’em that unless they were gonna change it into nickles

and put ’em in a sock…

So the RNC called my Cell Phone yesterday….asking for money to continue to “Fight the Democrats and President Obama” .

I asked when they had begun opposing either the Democrats or Barry? Was capitulating at every turn “fighting”?

The fundraising dude said that they had to “stop the Democrats” …..I suggested taking the money they had received and changing it into nickles , putting them in a sock and beating the DNC boys with it. It would work better than the approach they had used for the past 6 years. And until they promised to do that (in writing) they wouldn’t get any money from me….

Not even a nickle.

All in the name of reciprocity

More instruction. 

‘Cause it’ll make my license more reciprocitized, 

Toldya

Indiana currently has not training requirement. All they want before issuing you a pistol permit is that you are not a Felon, or a wife batterer, or a few other minor requirements.

No training. Yet we are no more dangerous than other states which require training. Odd that.

I have out of state permits from FL and UT, and the training classes I took were a real waste of time. They did not make me any safer, nor did the shooting requirement actually make me, you know, demonstrate proficiency in handling of a firearm.But I took ’em and I got my permits.

Notice;  if you look up Senate Bill 48, that the requirement is for 8 hours of (unspecified) training. Nor regualtions as to what that training might entail….nor what it might cost.

All in the name of reciprocity.

One state that they mention  that they want to pacify regarding “training” is Illinois, which has reciprocity with exactly zero other states right now….

Just got home.

Spent the night working, as others were unable to make it in due to the blowing schnew.

Wasn’t the worst storm I’ve ever seen but it was a LOT of heavy snow at first (which packed on the roads), and then a fair amount of light fluffy blowing snow (total of about 17″ in all) leaving visibility to near zero early Sunday evening. Plus an intermixure at times of sleet.freezing rain, and ice pellets for fun.

And yet, oddly enough, the end of the world didn’t happen. Civilization didn’t come to a stop. AFAIK, no blanket order to not drive. No highways were closed, although the State Police did discourage people from driving if possible.

There were the requisite number of accidents due to people driving too fast or following too closely (mostly travelers trying to pass through, and failing because they didn’t know how to drive in the conditions), and the tow trucks were busy.

But the cities didn’t shut down. People went and came and traveled as they chose And life went on.

WTF? Why can’t the Blue staters East Coasters figure out how to live with winter?  The entire Flyover country midwest, from Ohio to Nebraska, from Minnesota and Michigan to southern Illinois and Indiana, clean to Oklahoma can figure it out….Denver/Colorado, Idaho and Montana can figure it out. Yet 4 flakes and the East Coast panics.

.

Odd:

We are expecting a foot or more of snow with very windy conditions and whiteouts expected.

While it will likely suck for a while, neither Chicago nor any of the smaller cities in Illinois nor NW Indiana are expecting to shut down the roads or public transportation. Every service will work as normal. No Martial Law, no roads shut down (at least not until the conditions warrant it) no panic in the Supermarkets…..No one is planning for a SnowMageddon, (and even if we got one it’d just be a 24 hour inconvenience at worst)

Strange….. Shouldn’t we be panicking and closing roads and shutting down our way of life and all that? I mean, SNOW!

I guess the Midwest population is different than the East Coasters.
