Storrmbringer has the scoop.

From 1934.

What is different between then and now?

Nothing I can see.

“cept this time we have a multicultural Barry in the oval.

(and I am trying to verify all of it) then we need to go to the home improvement store TODAY, and buy some lumber (if there are no sturdy lampposts handy) and a bit of rope.

THIS is what I am talking about.

Might could be the thing that makes each and every none of us get off the dime and actually begin to have a revolution.

If you don’t know how to tie the knot, the look at THIS or THIS link.

I am sure you can figure out who’s neck the thing needs to be around.
Lies, lies, lies. The Obama Administration seems to think that each of us will accept this….They have gotten away with adding much to our burden.

Will we stand idly by and allow him and his cohorts to continue to destroy this country and our way of life?

What would those 56 men who signed the Declaration think of us today? Would they think that their sacrifice was in vain? Would they think that we are worth their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor”?

I think not. Were they alive today, they’d be organizing for another revolution. And looking at us with disgust.

Please, remember what the 4th of July stands for:

Today is not about hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill, not about taking the day off work, or a three-day weekend….It’s not about having the day off to spend the weekend at the lake with your boat or the jet-skis….It is not about drinking beer with others…. or fireworks…Or any combination of the above.

Today is the day when we celebrate the beginning of the country known as the United States. Today was the date that the Declaration of Independence was ratified by congress. This was not the only significant day in the birth of our nation, but today is the day on which we celebrate the declaration that the thirteen colonies would no longer answer to King George.

Today was the day in which 56 signers of the Declaration chose to defy the King, and to declare their independence. They chose to sign, pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. Many did indeed lose their fortunes, some their lives, but all held onto their honor.

We have a country today,  arguably the best on earth, only because these men took the step they did, and then later, created the Constitution which sets forth the principles of governance of we, the citizens of this United States. But this post is not about the Constitution, but rather the day which memorializes the declaration that this country and the colonies and its citizens would no longer be subjects of, nor under the rule of, a far away king. This day, 234 years ago, those 56 signers threw their defiance at a country and a king, and declared a new country. They became criminals in the eyes of their then king and his government. It took courage to do what they did. They essentially started a war.

So today, and Monday if you have it off, enjoy your beer, your hot dogs/hamburgers, etc. Live life happy if you are at the lake enjoying your boating. If you are at a gathering, be happy with your friends or family.

But remember why you have this day off from work. Take a moment to reflect on the momentous thing which we memorialize and celebrate on this Independence day, this July 4th 2010. Remember what happened in 1776 and be glad that it did. Take a moment, raise a glass, THINK about what this day really means. If you have children, take the time to explain why this is such a momentous day. Explain to them that it is not just about a day off of work, nor fireworks, but why this day is important. Take the time to follow the link and read the text of the declaration. Think what a momentous document it is.

And say thank you to 56 men who had courage. 

For doing right.

But the Muslims choose culture over country.

And that is NOT a good thing for either them or us..

Everyone is happy. I am too, in a way. But I am disappointed also:

The Supremes didn’t really give us what we wanted, either in overturning the law in Chicago, or in providing clear direction as to what was acceptable vs what is not regarding limits to the 2nd. While I personally think that there should be no limits, clearly there will be some. But with no clear direction or ruling, all that they have done is to open the door for more litigation and more strife They have said that the law in Chicago was too broad, but have not defined what “too broad” really is.  The next set of limitations that will soon be in place in Chicago will, of course, be tried in court. This will take years, likely again with no clear ruling. Without such ruling, there can be no argument against laws in other states like California or Massachusetts or Wisconsin. Without such rulings, we as supporters of the 2nd have effectively been emasculated. There can be little agitation for change, as they have effectively not given us a set of rules to agitate against. Nor can we, in the near future, see any standard for carriage of arms across state lines, nor have we any hope to get a nationwide standard of LTC laws or rules.

So I am disappointed. This ruling for “McDonald”, like “Heller” is not really a set of answers to the issues we really need to have defined and resolved.

Perhaps this was the intent of the Court.  Perhaps it was simply cowardice.Perhaps they are merely stalling any real decision.

Either way, a time for rejoicing (yay) and a time to face a disappointment.

We essentially got nothing from the Supreme Court. Except a continuation of turmoil and litigation.

The US Constitution may not be the best system possible….. but it is a damned sight better than the system we are currently using.

A reason for the “wealth or income gap”: Smart people keep on doing things that are smart and make them money while stupid people keep on doing things that are stupid and keep them from achieving.
People who get an education, stay off of drugs, apply themselves, and save and wisely invest their earnings do a lot better than people who drop out of school, become substance abusers, and buy fancy cars and houses that they can’t afford, only to lose them.
We don’t have an income gap. We have a stupid gap. Guess which group voted for Obama

THIS poll, while not very scientific, is nonetheless telling.

And the story ain’t so good for Mr. Obama.

Incompetence is what you generally get when you select an academic…..and when said academic has as his crowning achievement a failed community organizing job, which wasted a bunch of tax dollars with no real solution to the problems which they were trying to fix…..

Hope&Change and all that doesn’t get you very far in the real world, does it, Barry?

Not that I have anything against the retailer themselves. They sell decent goods (mostly) at low prices. I wish that they had more products that are made in the US, but that doesn’t go with the low price thing so much, so there it is…  I generally avoid the place, but I am partial to their cheap tennis shoes, which I consider as disposables for working in the yard and such.

What I hate are the people at Wal-Mart. Not the clerks and stockers, but the customers. Generally they are either self centered (stop to chat in the middle of the aisle, and block anyone behind them while they discuss their teeth or whatever with someone they haven’t seen in a week or so) or massively overweight, unable to control either their hips or the cart, and colliding with anyone/anything that isn’t actively dodging them. (now you know why Wal-Mart has such wide aisles)…Or they are stupid enough to make a cow look like a rocket scientist…..I am talking inbred sub cattle stupid. And generally slow in their motions as well as their cognitive processes…..3 toed sloth slow…..Turtles in snow slow. And let us not even go into the interesting and varied modes of dress.

I feel like I lost 30 IQ points in there, and at least 10% of my life force.

I’m not sure it is worth it to save $20 on a pair of cheap sneakers.

At least the Gov. of AZ cares enough to stand up to the big O.

Seriously, send this to everyone you know. Ask them to pass it along.
