On Independence Day, to suggest this as an appropriate place for you to send any spare money you have lying around.

Holsters for Heroes seems like a worthwhile cause.

Sponsor a holster for a serving soldier or Marine. I am.

I think it is a Good Thing. Let ’em know that we care.

I can tell you that Michael makes excellent holsters. He has made 3 for me, and 1 for MC (and an awesome knife sheath/holster for her as well.). He’ll likely make more for us too, as the need arises.

In fact, I am evaluating the (slightly customized) Clipper holster he made for me. (Currently breaking it in before doing a review) right now…..If I could convince him to take the time (he’s like really overloaded with orders right now) I’d have him make me a custom recoil pad for the Sharps.

So, seriously, support yer troops.

Just a thought.

It is said that Alcohol solves no problems.

However:

I have noticed that neither does Water.

The final destruction of the America we once knew.

Even immigrants. Ya gotta feel sorry for him. He came here, and then the rules changed. It isn’t the country he adopted any more than it is the country I was born to and learned to love.

Next stop, Europe. with a dash of the USSR.

Why do we let them destroy our Constitution? It is, really the only thing that separates the US from the rest of the world.  Others have armies, some as dedicated as ours. Others have wealth, and productive citizens, same as us.

But no others have that document.

Soon we won’t either.

If you have to choose between evils…

Choose the one you haven’t tried before.

Where any of this is wrong?

’cause I fear that it isn’t.

What happened to the republic that I was taught about in school?

Yeah, I know that it has been slowly eroding, chiseled away bit by bit by the liberals and the “Progressives”. Probably has been that way since well before I was born.

But the country in which I was raised, which I came to believe so strongly for, which allowed me to take pride in the title “U.S. Citizen” has, in not so many years, disappeared. Roadblocks for hard working people, disincentives for folks to make money (and, generally not coincidentally, jobs for others).  Fewer and fewer taxpaying citizens, more illegal immigrants and a whole lot more folks leeching off the rest of society….encouraged to do so by the same government which forcibly takes from the productive and gives to the non productive.

Now this. The outlandish ruling by the Supreme Court. That (once highly held, but no longer) bastion of “Right” and constitutionality. A ruling which gives great power to the federal (and eventually state and local) government. A ruling which upholds their power to coerce you to purchase goods and services and penalize you with a “tax” when you choose not to.

I would never advocate violence against those Justices. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they should see some. They have turned traitor to their oaths. They have perverted their office. They have damaged the Constitution which they swore to uphold.

I truly know not what to do. Where to turn. Where to go. The liberals and Progressives appear to have won.  What choice the US or Europe? Without the laws and rules and limits placed on government by the Constitution, what separates this country from all the rest?

Even if we legislatively get rid of the mismash called “Obamacare” the precedent is set. It will be used against the productive and free citizens of this country again. The Supreme Court ruling will stand forever and another chunk of the greatness of this country, chipped away, leaving the foundation damaged and the rest tottering will be the legacy.

I fear for my country, I fear for the countrymen who made this country the greatest and most productive in the world. I fear for the productive citizens who work hard today, but, like me, see no future. See no hope. See nowhere else to go. Nowhere to run to, to escape to. Nowhere to get away from those who would tear down rather than build up, who would take from those who do and give to those who don’t. Who would damage their country in doing so.

Sometimes I wish that our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers would have shot each socialist as they entered the country and burned the bodies in a great big pile weekly, instead of leaving us to deal with the festering pestilence that they have spread across this country.

You knew the media would try to put a good better face on the Fast and Furious debacle. Fortune magazine tried. 

And here is another example.

Can you spot the lies mistakes in the article?

The half-truths?

The misrepresentations?

No impartiality here.

If we could hook this spin to a generator, we’d be able to power most of Wichita.

Read this.

Higher healthcare fees for Military folks.

All the while wanting to GIVE freebies to a significant number of minorities, single moms, welfare queens and other unproductives. 

“Rat Bastard” just isn’t harsh enough. Of course, he’s not the only one, Pelosi and her ilk are just as bad.  

Tue Supremes wimped out. They should have either upheld it, or invalidated it. This half assed shit is for the birds

One the one hand, they weakened the arguments for the power of the commerce clause.

On the other hand, they said that Congress can tax you for anything, essentially.

So now they can tax you if you don’t buy a product or service.

I am not unexpectedly, disappointed. Greatly.

I do have one question though. WIll this tax apply to everyone: poor, black, white, wealthy, male, Hispanic, Asian, straight, female, gay, etc? Or will there be exemptions for certain groups? Will we all be equal under the law? (yeah, I know….stop laughing).

It would seem to me that these Justices lack any significant amount of intestinal fortitude. They don’t have the guts to make a real decision.

And that sucks….’cause they are (supposed to be) the final word regarding laws and constitutionality. And they wimped out here…yet again.

And, again, the power now going to the IRS via taxation is going to be huge. The powers they will have over your life is going to grow. 

The only good thing about this is that Romney (spit) will have something to use as a slogan (repeal, repeal, repeal) and message that he can use over and over and over. And this will give him a rallying point around which his supporters and others can agree. So we end up with a slightly less bad president. A slightly less liberal weenie.

Obama’s administration really knows how to pick ’em, don’t they?

Another $400 million gone.

How much healthcare, bridges, or military will that kind of money buy?
