Couldn’t say it better if I tried:

There was a time when giants walked this earth, and seventy years ago many of them never came home.

I mean, what hasn’t been said over the past 70 years.

The “Allies” (which really means the US, who supplied the majority of the materiel and the bulk of the troops) crossed the English Channel to begin the end of WWII.  Nearly 25,000 men, hundreds of ships (and that was just in the first wave) that ended up being 150,000 men and 195 000 sailors on nearly 7000 ships by the end of the day…and nearly 350,000 men a week later.

And, of course, the 100,000 men of the “First US Army Group” …which didn’t really exist, but convinced the Germans that Normandy was a feint, as well as the others who diverted a great deal of German defenders to the north .

A bunch of men, with great big balls, just went and did the job they were assigned. They broke the back of the Third Reich that day, along with the folks who, on the same day, invaded Italy.

I stand in awe of those men. Few of them are alive today, most are old, or dead.

Remember them.

would prevent this.

But then again, that’s not what they want, is it?

More people to vote for Democrats illegally.

I am coming more and more to the theory that liberals in general, and the Obama Administration if particular, is trying to overwhelm the country with leeches.

Cloward-Piven and all that.

Just where did this dude get $71,000 to send to people in other countries? Somehow, a cab driver in Boston has that kind of stash laying around? That is a lot of moola.

While you may have that kind of money laying around, I don’t.

I mean, I would have that kind of cash NOW If I hadn’t spent it over the years on ammo, guns and easy whiskey and cheap women…But I don’t have it to toss around and certainly not to send to other people in other countries using fake names and all that I’d have to live a pretty austere lifestyle to save that kind of cash in a year or 3. . I sure as hell didn’t/couldn’t when I was 23 years old! Yet I don’t see anyone asking where he got that kind of scratch.

Something suspicious here. Maybe he is one of those “Domestic” terrorists the “Justice” Dept. is so worried about. Nah, he isn’t white nor christian, nor from the midwest….

The last of the original 29 volunteer Code Talkers has passed.

Gutsy folks, who didn’t have to put themselves in harms way, but chose to serve a nation which had not treated their people as well as it could have, but who volunteered anyway.

Are the Open Carry Texas folks really that stupid, or are they being paid by Michael Bloomberg?

Now they are carrying into Target.

The reason I ask if they are being paid to do their “activism” is that they seem to be choosing businesses which have, so far, chosen to NOT take a stand on carriage of firearms….Almost as if “Open Carry Texas” is choosing to force major chains to take a stand….and one which helps the anti-gun folks.

The only other explanation I can see is that they are really really really stupid…But I am beginning to lean towards the false flag scenario…Because they couldn’t be helping the anti’s more if they tried.

SO the soldier, Bergdahl, wasn’t “captured” but rather walked off, according to REPORTS.

Puts a different spin on things, doesn’t it?

So more open carry activists (or maybe the same set of Retards) got asked to leave yet another restaurant or two.

In doing so, because of their stupid “activism” they are forcing two more restaurant chains to take a stand, where before they had not. Prior to this, both Chili’s and Sonic had chosen to ignore the shrill cries of “Moms Demand Action”, but, when forced to, they chose to make a statement that ultimately gave the anti-gunners a win, if only because they got a statement saying “Please don’t bring your guns here so we have to take notice of them”.

Please, just stop. Your activism is hurting rather than helping and I think most of the rest of us would rather you stay home in Mommy’s basement

If you are a member of that group, please stop. If you know someone who is (you don’t have to admit it) ask them to stop. While I would not go so far as to suggest that if you know someone who is going to go out next week and do some more activism you should catch them when they are leaving and whack them smartly in the left knee with a ball pein hammer, I would ask you to do whatever you can to discourage them from screwing things up for the rest of us.

Activism like this works better for the other side than for our side. 

Burning methane creates……CO2!

SO in an attempt to find something to “Offset” the carbon released in California’s industry, there is a buch opf folks who buy and sell “carbon offsets”….HERE is an example of one such scheme.

At first glance it sounds good….: Generate electricity from what is, essentially a waste product from a Dairy… Free electricity! electricity that doesn’t come from coal! And it is as true as saying that an electric car is a zero emissions form of transportation…..(hint, it isn’t)

Now, the issues here are severalfold:

On the one hand, they are reducing the methane evaporated into the atmosphere, which is a good thing (if you believe in global warming), as methane is about 8  times the greenhouse gas that CO2 is.

On the other hand, that engine that is driving the generator is putting CO2 out into the atmosphere at about 3 times the rate per megawatt that a coal plant would…in other words, a coal plant puts out about 1/3 the CO2 per megawatt that this engine does.

Is this a carbon offset? Not by any way you can easily measure. The generator is producing CO2 at a higher rate than a coal plant per watt of electricity. It isn’t reducing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, in fact, it is likely adding to it. It MAY be reducing the greenhouse gas effect, by subsituting water vapor and CO2 for methane (but that is likely a wash).

This is a scam. Period. No significant reduction in any greenhouse effect (if any) and yet, someone is making money selling this as a “carbon offset”.

But hey, it makes someone feel good and the farmer gets to be happpy and make a bit of cash.
