I hate the fact that

I agree with this.

But it is true. I’m not gonna vote for another McCain, nor another Rommney.

Period.

And I ain’t gonna vote for Jeb Bush.

The lesser of the two evils is still evil.

Yes, the folks who say that Jeb Bush will be less damaging that Hillary Clinton are correct. IMO, He won’t win anyway, so a vote for him is wasted. I held my nose and voted with the lesser evil twice. It got us nowhere, and it didn’t send a message to the RNC that they need to stop playing the patronage game, and that they need to find a candidate which isn’t “DNC lite” and “middle ground” and all that. The games that they are playing are foolish and short sighted…and their strategy has failed twice. It’ll fail this time as well.

It ultimately comes down to this: Either the RNC finds a real candidate who is conservative, by whatever definition you should choose to use, that will shrink and de-power the Federal government, or lose yet again.

Sometimes I wonder if that is the goal.

Good!

I hope he has to move and change his name.

Hope it hurts. Bet it’s lonely living in a small town where everyone knows that you are a small man who abused your badge and uniform. Wonder if he learned anything?

All that matters….

Is that the suspect shot a cop.

So every cop piles onto the chase….

And once a shot is fired, EVERY cop shoots until he locks back on an empty magazine. It has happened before, and it’ll happen again.

Now, a couple of points. A good way to get your innards aired out is to shoot a cop. This pisses the rest of them off. At that juncture, your life expectancy is greatly reduced unless you do everything very right from that point…..

But really, EVERY cop going to the scene at high speeds? How much danger did they put the public in, just so they could get a shot off at a guy who shot a cop? (and lets not even discuss the poor people in the immediate area where they found the guy and his friend., bullets flying everywhere) Or the danger they placed each other in with their own “circular firing squad”

And really, if they left the rest of the area uncovered so they could go to the scene (at high speed)….what good did they do the citizens they are paid to protect (or, are there too many policemen on the street anyway?) if the majority could leave their patrol areas at high speed to get in on the apprehension or killing of a cop killer?

By all reports (even the cops own!) these men were out of control. They weren’t listening to their supervisors….. Yet we give them the power of life and death over regular citizens. Scary, that. Now, I know that police are men and women…human beings. But if they can’t act better than that, are they the right people for the job?

Question: Would they react the same way if it were just an average citizen that had been shot?
You know that answer…

And here I thought the chase scene from the Blues Brothers movie was just parody….

It’d be funny, except the one in Miami was real….

It’s a bitch

I have been working 65+ hour weeks since the week before the NRA show.

and this is geting in the way of my shooting.  Badly.

Today, while I finally had an hour to spare, I actually sat down for a few minutes after getting the yard and other chores done (my house doesn’t look as if it is in a reposession status….) And promptly fell asleep for the time I had allotted for range time.

Ah, well, there is always tomorow.

If so

Then several people need to be demoted or fired..

Reports are that Valerie Jarrett was the person who gave the military the “Stand Down” order when Benghazi was going all pear shaped.

Now, I don’t know, I wasn’t there. But IF (and again, I haveta say IF) this is true, then the people who accepted that order were in dereliction of duty by taking an order from an unelected civilian not in the chain of command.

Again, I wasn’t there.  I don’t know how the order to Stand Down was transmitted, or who signed it. But if the military folks accepted the command of Valerie Jarrett, then they need to be fired. 

It never ceases to amaze me

How when someone is called out for their behavior or for their failings, if they are a member of a minority group, they immediately cry “discrimination!” rather than address the issues. Invariably, they use the fact that they are different as an excuse, and become victims.

Especially if they can use this to change the subject away from their bad behavior.

Instead of being big boys/girls and dealing with their issues.

Sad, really.
