Some people are just never happy. That is why most places have the ability to write in your choice for an elected position.
I myself, have never seen a “perfect” candidate. At least one that I agreed with 100 % and that was polished in debates and so on. But when I look at what we are being offered this time around I just want to puke.
Obama wants to start up his own gestapo. McCain has worked against the first amendment. Barr helped write law that was diametrically opposed to the Constitution, and then plays wiggle worm when cornered about it. All three have actively worked against the Second Amendment.
So then what to do..? Look ahead toward a better day in the future. I think that if the socialists do gain an overwhelming majority that after a single term Obama will look worse than either Jimmy Carter or George Bush to most Americans, and then perhaps they will understand that there is a very real danger in allowing people like that to come into power. Heck, he might even take the place of most hated president while living from Richard Nixon. I look at this moral mess that we have up before us to choose from, and think one name, Spiro Agnew. The nausea reminds me of post surgical morphine. Too bad I don’t get the analgesic effect to go along with it.
Then we have all the dire predictions from both sides and all persuasions. Riots if Obama loses. Riots if Obama wins. Survivalists organizations resurrecting as well as militia movements in preparation for what those people believe to be the inevitable outcome irrespective of who wins. The ever present threat of Islamic terrorism as well as home grown terrorist factions. Factions that play on religious differences, or race, or sex, anything to get people worked up to the point of violence. Perhaps even a “Night of the long knives” here in America. Foisted upon us by those that know better than we do how we should live our lives. America appears to have become a roller coaster. The emotions doing a pretty good immitation of bi-polar disorder, never finding a middle ground of stability.
I fear for my nation. This balkanization could very well lead to a civil war the likes of which the world has never seen before. Or, it could lead to a new America that is the hope of the world.
Time will tell.

Gads… I was there. No, not a Marine, I was further west…
John Ripley dead at 59
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Retired Marine Col. John Ripley, who was credited with stopping a column of North Vietnamese tanks by blowing up a pair of bridges during the 1972 Easter Offensive of the Vietnam War, died at home at age 69, friends and relatives said Sunday.
Ripley’s son, Stephen Ripley, said his father was found at his Annapolis home Saturday after missing a speaking engagement on Friday. The son said the cause of death had not been determined but it appeared his father died in his sleep.
In a videotaped interview with the U.S. Naval Institute for its Americans at War program, Ripley said he and about 600 South Vietnamese were ordered to “hold and die” against 20,000 North Vietnamese soldiers with about 200 tanks.
“I’ll never forget that order, ‘hold and die’,” Ripley said. The only way to stop the enormous force with their tiny force was to destroy the bridge, he said.

The forces of misandry have spread their doctrine of hatred like a metastatic cancer. Thoroughly trouncing the Constitution in the process. Nearly every day we hear about “abuses” at Gitmo. But, I ask, what about those same things that have been going on right here in America for years? How is it that the American people have stood by while these forces of hatred have imposed de facto sexist ex post facto law? This immoral law has been used as a stepping stone toward passing other laws that restrict, or deny rights to people based upon such trivial things as not paying parking tickets. Hence the need to once again post about this deadly threat to the American way of life.
A report put out by RADAR (Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting) entitled “An Epidemic of Civil Rights Abuses: Ranking of States’ Domestic Violence Laws” ranks New Jersey’s domestic violence statute as one of the laws “most likely to violate the civil rights of persons accused of domestic violence.” Nevertheless, New Jersey’s statute is not an anomaly, as a review of the report and another RADAR report, “Perverse Incentives, False Allegations, and Forgotten Children“, reveals. Political scientist Stephen Baskerville’s online report “Family Violence in America: The Truth about Domestic Violence and Child Abuse” makes it clear that false allegations of domestic violence and the legal system that rewards them is not only a national problem, but an international one as well. His book, Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family, confirms this. Just released by Cumberland House, it cites as an example of the national problem a shocking statistic put out by the Department of Justice: “a restraining order is issued every two minutes in Massachusetts.”
Big Media probably won’t report on the problem anytime soon. It’s therefore up to bloggers, podcasters, and You Tubers to expose the due process fiasco that media silence has allowed to persist.
Read the full story here: Gitmo at Home
While that article deals primarily with New Jersey virtually every state as a mirror system that specializes in the destruction of lives based upon political correctness and misandry. Not to mention prosecutors that care little for what is right or wrong. Indeed, they only care about getting another feather for their war bonnet.
Domestic violence is a real problem. The taking of civil rights for less than felonious behavior by omnipotent government agencies is a tragedy( If not outright treason.). If these people are so evil, then why were they not tried as felons? Why turn Anglo American law on it’s head by allowing for the rules and penalties to be changed after the fact. Why allow felons to be allowed to have their rights restored, but not misdemeanor or even people convicted of infractions? This situation is about hate, power, and political correctness. Not about wife beating or any of the other red herrings that get infused into the issue.

cont. from : https://patricksperry.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/a-day-at-the-range-new-rifles/#comments
Diane’s new rifle: She is sixteen years old and recently took the Hunter Safety Course after deciding that if all the boys were out hunting that is where she wanted to be. After all, she makes a habit of showing up the boys at their own game. Her mother thinks it is more like “she wants to be around the boys…” In any case I passed some pleasantries with her mother while everyone was getting set up. I learned that Diane’s father had been killed in an accident when she was twelve, and that her mother worked as a waitress. That she had looked for an inexpensive rifle for her daughter, and that a friend had given Diane an old scope for her new rifle. It was a Burris 3 X 9, and appeared to still be in very good condition. I personally know those scopes to be among the best that are made, anywhere, at any price. Her rifle? It was a Mossberg ATR 100 chambered in 270 Winchester. Her ammunition was Remington Core-Lokt 130 grain. This, friends, is a hunting set up on the cheap. Other than the scope this is, well, to be honest, a Wal-Mart set up front to rear. Thank God these folks have friends… Jim’s Grandfather (see above story) offered to give it a once over, and they took the offer. He swabbed out the barrel removing a lot of shipping / storage gunk, and cleaned off the bolt, a tiny squirt of Rem Oil down the trigger group, and she was ready to go! Folks, after what I went through with an early production 835 I am not a big Mossberg fan, to say the least! So, what happened went Diane got to shooting? I had yet another experience in crow pie eating. I am beginning to think that I am an expert of such fare… Diane shot five strings of three rounds each. Results? The last two strings were both on the eight, and roughly three quarters of an inch… This entire set up cost less than three hundred dollars. Go figure! I have to believe that with more practice and refinement Diane will, in fact, be showing up most of the boys!

One of the hottest stories in the world of blogging right now is the lawsuit concerning Barack Obama’s citizenship.While intriguing I have to believe that this issue comes from the Tin Foil Hat Brigade Anyone that reads this blog knows that I am no supporter of Obama. Further, that an Obama win could very well split this nation to the point of an actual civil war. Not to mention that a loss will lead to widespread rioting. We are in for a rough ride irrespective of who wins the election.
Then again, the popular election notwithstanding, we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic thank God! With a Bill of Rights that protects minorities from the majority.
Is, or has the United States ever been perfect? Of course not. This nation was, and is, a dynamic experiment in self governance. We do not have a King, although Chicago appears to have an aristocracy. We do not seek via government to impose religion upon the people by force of arms, although that has occurred in our past, and to a degree still do. Current laws seek to legislate morality in the conduct of religion. Least we not forget what happened at Waco.
Then we have the issue of effectively being able to defend ones self, family, and community. can you say gun control..? I knew you could!
So, after Obama is enthroned, what brand of tin foil should I make my hat from, so that I get the best reception for such mundane ideas as Liberty and Freedom..?

The other day I meandered out to the local rifle range. There were four people there with brand new rifles that ran the gamut from very low cost entry level rifles, to the latest issue of “The Rifleman’s Rifle.”
Let’s start with Jim and his very first big game rifle. Jim is fourteen years old, and has been shooting rim fire competition for several years with the Junior NRA. His rifle was a gift from his grandfather after he had earned the rank of Second Bar Sharpshooter. The rifle? A Remington model 700 ADL chambered in 243 Winchester a proved deer and Pronghorn caliber. It was topped with the excellent Sightron SII 3 X 9 scope. His grandfather was there and told me that he had lapped the barrel, action, and rings. He is a gunsmith and gone through the rifle completely before giving it to Jim. Bearing in mind that his grandfather purchased the entire set up at wholesale and that there were no labor charges involved the cost was estimated at just over $900. That, is quite a savings! The ammunition being used that day was Federal one hundred grain soft point. A proved yet economical deer stopper. Grandpa used his laser bore sight, not only on Jim’s rifle, but on all that were tested. I have to believe that helped save a lot of money!
Jim shot from the bench with the rifle resting on sand bags, the target at one hundred yards. He shot strings of five rounds, and the barrel was swabbed with Hoppe’s Elite between each string. The results were astounding, at least to me they were. The first group was roughly one and a half inches, centered on the seven ring at five o’clock. As noted the barrel was swabbed, and adjustments to the scope were made. String number two was centered on the nine ring at six o’clock and measured just under one inch. Another swab job, and scope adjustment and it was on to string three. That Jim was settling in and getting the feel of his new rifle was pretty apparent. String three was dead on the “X” and measured less than three quarters of an inch! This was not using match ammo, as noted above! Both myself and grandpa are advocates of the “zero point aiming” theory, and he adjusted the scope accordingly. Jim was instructed to hold at six o’clock, and the fourth string was fired. Yet another swab job, and string five was fired down range. We walked out to the target (It was not changed between string four and five.) Everyone was more than a bit impressed. All ten rounds grouped together, and were covered by a dime! I can only foresee better things for Jim and his new rifle as the barrel further breaks in, and he builds even more confidence.
Tomorrow we will cover Diane’s new rifle.

I received this from Senator Greg Brophy. It’s a laugh, but it is serious… kind of a gotcha!
In the middle of the campaign season, while everyone is tired of the ads and ready for this to just be over, this came to me and I just have to share.
You need a little background information first. I helped a candidate for state senate, Don Ytterberg, put together a comparison piece that shows some votes made by his opponent, Dan Gibbs, that Don thinks are out of line with the people that live in SD16. Two of the votes were amendments to bills that Gibbs ultimately voted for after voting against the key amendments. The first amendment is known as Jessica’s Law, which puts sexual predators away for a minimum of 25 years (something that 99.9% of America thinks is a good idea). Dan Gibbs voted against that amendment on 5-1-2007. The second amendment is one that I ran to mandate a $50,000 bond on illegal alien drug dealers so that they won’t just skip the country when they are released. Gibbs voted against that one last session and then ultimately voted for the final bill. During a televised radio interview, Gibbs brings up the negative mailer (comparison piece) and tries to show that it is inaccurate. Big mistake because Ytterberg has the votes in his briefcase.
You also need to know that the Colorado General Assembly has rules on amendments to bills that say the amendment has to relate to the bill. In this case, I’m not writing about an appropriations Christmas tree project like you see in Washington D.C. I’m talking about crime bills that were being discussed and debated on the floor of the House and the floor of the Senate. Both of the amendments narrowly lost, so every voted mattered.
If you ever run for office, don’t do this:
CAUGHT!

Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson Issues Open Letter to Nation’s Sportsmen Regarding Obama’s TRUE History in the Illinois Senate
We’ve repeatedly warned readers not to believe Barack Obama when he claims to support our Second Amendment rights. We have told you the truth–that Barack Obama is the most anti-gun presidential candidate in American history! Hands down. No question. Barack Obama opposes the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding, freedom-loving, American firearm owners.
We’ve given the facts, and provided the documentation. But if you know someone who’s still not convinced, you’ll want to share with them a recent, open letter to our nation’s gun owners, hunters, and sportsmen, written by Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) Executive Director Richard Pearson. Pearson’s credentials include deep involvement in the firearm rights movement for more than 40 years. He’s been the chief lobbyist for the ISRA for the past 15 years. And, most importantly, because of his personal experience, he knows Barack Obama’s true stance on the Second Amendment.
In his letter, Mr. Pearson says, “I lobbied Barack Obama extensively while he was an Illinois State Senator. As a result of that experience, I know Obama’s attitudes toward guns and gun owners better than anyone. The truth be told, in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than does Barack Obama.”
Mr. Pearson goes on to describe just some of Obama’s anti-gun voting record, saying, “While a state senator, Obama voted for a bill that would ban nearly every hunting rifle, shotgun and target rifle owned by Illinois citizens. That same bill would authorize the state police to raid homes of gun owners to forcibly confiscate banned guns.” Obama also voted FOUR TIMES against legislation that would protect a homeowner who use a firearm in defense of home and family!
It doesn’t get much plainer than that, folks. This letter is a must-read for every pro-freedom, pro-self-defense, pro-Second Amendment American.
To read the entire letter, please click here. Then be sure to forward the link to every Second Amendment supporter you know. The truth about Obama’s stance on firearms and the Second Amendment needs to be told—again!

Seemingly every four years we hear about people wasting their votes. Right now this very issue is raising it’s ugly head among many of my fellow bloggers. Mostly what is being said is that a vote for anyone other than McCain is a vote for Obama.
Folks this is not algebra, and there isn’t any way that you can turn negatives into positives. This is a matter of honesty, as well as honor. Voting is a duty in my opinion. If you don’t vote, then you give up any right to complain about what the government is doing whatsoever. Some people understand that, and others? Well, it is just beyond their ken apparently.
Voting is an expression of our Constitution and what this nation actually stands for and is about. I don’t care on this level who you vote for as long as you vote your conscience. Failing to do so makes you a lemming, not a citizen. Voting your conscience is being what you are, an American.It is not wasting a vote contrary to what political pundits will say.
When John McCain passes more laws abridging your right to voice your opinion don’t say that I didn’t warn you. When Barack Obama takes away your right to effectively defend yourself, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. When you don’t vote your conscience and get something that you didn’t bargain for? Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

Radical Islam’s war against the west; is the subtitle. Some time ago I was asked to write a review about the movie Obsession. The disk got shuffled around in the move, so this is a bit belated.
This film is well organized, and the makers go out of their way to point out that not all Muslims are extremist’s. So much so, that I was forced to think about the principles of propaganda.
This movie does a great job though, of presenting the threat of militant Islam worldwide. Complete with film footage of militant Imam’s and crowded parade grounds filled with people that have been stirred into a frenzy of hatred toward all things not Islamic.
Being a “Kuffar” I must admit that understanding the hatred that the people in the film apparently have for us is well beyond my ken. Particularly disturbing was the scene involving American Muslims in New York, and the various scenes involving U.K. Muslim activist’s.
Also striking was the film makers use of women of Muslim background to highlight the militant agenda of the extremist’s. Islams penchant for misogyny is pretty apparent, and the use of women to make their points was a stroke of genius. That they also remind us that there are sleeper Islamic terrorist cells right here in the United States serves as a reminder of the Congressional findingsthat so many people choose to ignore like the proverbial ostrich with their heads stuck in the sand.
In conclusion I have to say that every American and citizen of the U.K. needs to see this film.
