When watching the election returns and the enumeration of the votes.
’cause, you know, those voters are stupid
Seems that we can’t even understand what they were doing….
What hubris.
Vote…
When you vote today, say a prayer for our nation. Yes, we will likely have a big change in our legislative makeup. Is this a good thing? Depends. Will we get folks who will actually begin to try to fix things? Will this attitude last? Will they remain willing to do the hard things necessary to repair the damage done to the republic?
Or are we merely substituting a disloyal (R) for a disloyal (D) ? Are we electing another representative who will choose party politics over the will of the people? Or will we get someone who will actually look at the will of the people and vote his/her conscience and do what they feel is right ??
IF the voting goes the way it is predicted, we might well end up with the opposite polarity from what we have now. And that might well be just as bad.
damned right
Lets hope these folks get this message.
The act is that the left won so big in 2006 and 2008 precisely because the Right rejected the folks we had put in charge.
If they screw this up in the next two years we are likely to get more of what we got in 2008. And I really don’t know if I can stomach more of that.
Apparently there are many things which induce PSH*
Seems that the liberal educators (but I repeat myself) are afraid of nearly everything out of the ordinary…..Even horses.
Horses are dangerous, and apparently the“equivalent of bringing in a loaded firearm to school”
What do you expect from an urban liberal educator? (sorry for the redundancy) Anything non urban is clearly odd, dangerous, and must be stopped immediately! Way to go to damage the kinds “spirit” during “Spirit Week”.
Mayhaps they were afraid the horse might bite someone with those wicked teeth designed to rend flesh? Oh, wait….
* “Pants Shitting Hysteria” : A condition often found in liberals when confronted by nearly anything outside of their experience or that plays into their fears. See also: Firearms, horses, independent thinking, anything to do with the Tea Party, or uppity minorities who might move into their neighborhood.
That oughta help the Dems next time
Seems Harry Reid has BIG BIG plans for the “Lame Duck” session of congress.
“All your illegals belong to us!”
I fear the lame duck session, really, I do. SO many legislators, on their way out, bitter, angry and upset that us peons chose to toss them out because we didn’t knuckle under to the ruling class.
It is not a question of “if” they stick it too us, but rather a question of “How badly?”.
Again, if the custom of dueling were still around, these folks would not act in the manner which they do.
Gunshow (sadly, no blogmeet)
Hit the streets early to make the Nappanee gunshow Sat AM (’cause they don’t do one on Sunday, this being serious Amish country and all that). Midwest Chick , a friend and I began our journey. Since Nappanee is like in another country and time zone, we left early enough for our trip so we could get there before too late local time….
After arriving in Nappanee after about an hour (and successfully dodging apparently psychotic horse and buggy drivers intent on causing mayhem with the traffic flow) we arrived at our destination. Seeing as how everyone else had the same idea as we did, we first followed the crowd to the local eatery for a hearty breakfast of bacon (mmmm-bacon!), sausage, biscuits-n gravy, pancakes, eggs, potatoes and egg and ham casserole. The buffet was $7.95 (US) for “all you can eat” (I really did eat all I could eat!). And enough coffee to float a battleship.
When we finally levered ourselves up off the benches and staggered towards the door, we were thinking about the chairs in the sun on the porch of the restaurant rather than gushow, but at Midwest Chick’s urging we walked the hundred yards or so to the gunshow entrance.
Going through the standard rigmarole of having a plastic tie placed through the chamber of my carry pistol, and paying for our entrance fee, we began the gun show experience:
This show is a different mix of people. More private sellers, fewer dealers. Lots of collectible stuff, lots more shotguns and “real” hunting rifles, levers, bolts and pumps, and fewer EBRs. Likely less than 10% of the firearms available for sale were new. Pistols were there in abundance, mostly used, some worth a fortune as collectibles, most just functional firearms. It was too bad that Og wasn’t able to make it, as he would have had a field day with all of the military firearms and bayonets. Tam might have gone nuts at all the old Colt auto pocket pistols.
I took advantage of the lax Indiana gun laws and stepped through the “Gun Show Loophole” and bought a Machine Gun and several Grenades privately owned pistol. One of the dealers I knew called my attention over to his table. Knowing my liking for 1911 pattern pistols , he introduced me to a guy who was selling a Llama .380 single stack. A bit of bargaining, and soon we had a transaction (and, no doubt, brought another tear to the eye of Sarah Brady).
The pistol came with 150 rounds of assorted .380 ammo and I found 200 rounds of WWB .380 for $40 to add to that. So far, a screaming deal.
Then Midwest Chick bought a bag of gemstones from a guy who buys old jewelery/scrap gold for $5. I am not sure how much is real and how much is glass, but a random sampling has shown real amethysts, topaz, and opals as well as several real Linde stars. .
Then it was time for the trek home.
All in all, a good day.
Only after they prosecute the Black Panthers
Running scared.

The, when you stop laughing at the mischaracterizations, half truths, and outright lies, then realize what it means that he would say this…..And realize that he is either trying to convince someone, or really doesn’t understand that we are angry enough at the socialism and the redistribution that we simply want our country back. If that isn’t his country, so be it.
