And for that, I apologize. But internet rumor has it that the ORIGINAL typewritten birth certificate  for the ONE has been subpoenaed…by the US District Court in Honolulu….

Interesting, to say the least….

We shall see.

And thereby adds to the problem for the next generation. 

Guess that this post makes me a racist…

“Well Doctor, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” asked Mrs. Powell of Benjamin Franklin.  “A Republic,” replied Doctor Franklin, “if you can keep it.”.


I think we have failed to keep it. 


If you don’t know where the quote is from, then I feel sorry for you. If you don’t, then you are a part of the problem. 


Google it to find the whole story. Or not. Up to you. 

Something to think about.

Worth the (short) read.

’cause I’d like to call the SOB and give him a piece of my mind.  In fact, I’d like to interrupt his peaceful enjoyment of life on a Saturday…Actually, I’d like to punch him in the nose.

I already am a member (have to be because It Is Required for membership in my local range)….I already donate (for me) significant money to the PAC part of the NRA.

But these stupid fuckers are calling me at home wanting more money. They had my telephone number and my name…. Being a member, they had all the information to give to someone who called me. On a Saturday.

Thereby damaging my serenity and my peaceful enjoyment of life…. I don’t EVER donate money to people who call me on weekends. Ever. I will continue to be a member because I have to…..But the NRA will never see another dime beyond my membership fee. Not one single thin devalued by Obama dime.

Jesus H. Gunwalking Christ….at what point don’t they think that we have donated enough? They are like liberals. Always with their hand out. Always wanting Someone Else’s money….If they need money that badly then they can forgo their nearly daily mailings to my address. That should save about $100 per year in postage and paper….But it’ll make it harder to keep the woodstove lit….

I apparently have overdosed on Fucktiall and I got nothing to say about anything…..

Hope you have a good Fourth weekend……But please, remember the reason for the celebration.

It ain’t all about burgers and beer, and pretty lights on the sky after dusk accompanied by loud booms. It’s not about a three day weekend….

It’s about Freedom…and that which makes this country great…A statement on parchment and sent to the king of England…. that began the greatest nation on earth:



“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
If you haven’t, (or haven’t recently) then I urge you…Read the whole thing.

Now think what those 56 men risked when they affixed their signatures to that letter to the King.

And think about what they would do were they here today. What would they think of us, sitting passively and letting that great future slip away?

Now you can go enjoy your burgers and beer and such.

Cory Maye is finally getting released.

Another victim of the war on drugs and no knock raids.

Stolen from Rural Revolution is THIS….(I think I posted it before myself, but I am too lazy to look for it, and she had this handy link and brought it back to the forefront of my attention)….Take time to read all the text in the cartoon…and note the date on it!

“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”
George Santayana

This whole federal budget issue would be funny except for one thing:

The man who was elected to be the leader of the United States can’t seem to figure how to lead.  He’s great at giving speeches, running for office, spending other peoples (future) money, handing rewards out to his cronies and supporters, and blaming others for the shortfalls of his governance and the mess he has made of our economy..

But he can’t lead the other lawmakers in resolving the latest “budget/debt crisis”. The first real leadership issue he has been faced with (except, of course, “the beer summit”) and he fails. Miserably.

It’d be funny, except for the implications.

As Tam says “If you only read one blog post today…”


SHe’s right.
