MOLON LABE

I see that the anti-gun cabal of the District of Columbia (DC) wants Federal background checks and fingerprinting for all new gun purchases and to do retroactive background checks and fingerprinting for all those to be grandfathered in weapons owners.  Hello idiots up there, I hold a Georgia Weapons License (Formally Concealed Carry Permit, CCP) for which I was fingerprinted and had an extensive background check to secure this license.  Look dufses (If that’s not the plural of dufus it should be), in addition to your trampling the Second Amendment there is a pretty loud discussion about the Tenth Amendment also.  Remember that?  It deals with States Rights.  Something about “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The assumption that a state cannot determine proper gun ownership and use is arrogance personified. Any attempt by the Federal Government to develop a national gun registry will work about as well as the U.S. Post Office and Conrail and be about as secure as the DOJ’s web site. I have been handling firearms of one sort or the other for close to three-quarters of a century now and have not had an occasion to use on another human being.  In addition, my “Dangerous weapon” has never leapt out of the holster and started banging around in all directions looking for innocent victims.  You wimps, weenies and whiney bitchettes need to find something to keep you occupied other than the gathering power at the expense of ‘We The People.’ You have about as much understanding of the subject as Joe Biden does of tying his shoes.  You can’t hold hearings with Hollyweird dumb asses and expect to learn anything about the subject.  See if you can do a little something about the multi-trillion dollar debt that you have run up and leave law abiding citizen who wish to protect themselves from the criminal element alone. A criminal element which is mostly composed of trash that your lack of action has created at our borders.

MOLON LABE (Got that assholes?)

RIP America, we hardly knew you

To wake up this morning, the day after the election, and learn of the outcome is akin to being shown proof of global warming/climate change/ climate disruption etc.  Un-effing-believable. As I sit here with my second cup of life giving coffee my mind try’s to assign a blame for the disaster that has happened while I slumbered.  We who are called the Baby Boomers or Pre-Boomers must accept the responsibility for this destruction of the country that we worked all our life to build.  The most stupid words ever spoken were “I don’t want my children to suffer as I did to make a life for themselves.”  And, they didn’t.  We provided and provided and gave them as much of our resources as we could. They led a work free life into adulthood where the belief that their wants and needs would be provided.  Generation X, Generation Y, Millennials or whatever label you wish to attach, we made that happen.  As my late Grand mama would say “Them’s a bunch of ne’er do wells.”  Also known as the moocher class.  Not having to have had to make decisions about their own welfare they were prime targets for the socialists propaganda and they followed and believed anything that spewed from the television talking heads.  From the ‘60s hippies, who became the college professors, to the occupy dregs of the 2000s they fell in line and accepted the tired old theory that a government could and should provide everything.  The fact that the government has no income and must take the money from someone else to redistribute was an unknown to them.  “Just tax the 1% more and get on with it, I needs a new Smartphone.”  Money from the rich and corporations will eventually run out.  When the economy collapses we are all, moochers included, going down the road to the poor house. My income is from the government as much as I hate it.  Military retirement, Civil service retirement and Social Security.  And, before you say “See there, you’re a moocher too” keep in mind that I worked and paid into the system my entire life.  Starting in 1957, when the military came under Social Security, I contributed the rest of my working career.  Now, what does all this mean?  When the economy collapses all government payments stop.  Everyone on Social Security, Welfare, Military retirement, Civil Service retirement etc will be broke.  In addition, remember what Mr. Chavez in Venezuela did when the economy was nearing collapse.  He nationalized all financial institutions and private Oil Companies.  If that happens here, all our saving whether in cash or retirement plans then belong to the government to cover the national debt. Even those on private business retirement plans are in the same boat.  “There ain’t no money honey.”

My generation and that which has been called the Baby Boomers are dying out at a high rate.  We are now outnumbered by the moochers and it can only get worse. Don’t give me that crap about “We lost the battle but the war is still to be won.”  The war is lost. With this next four years the country that we have known and loved and worked our asses off for will soon be extinct.  RIP America we hardly knew you.

Well, did writing this make me feel any better?  Hell no, but it has relieved some of the frustration a bit. Beginning immediately we are in for a rough ride.

Starting January 1, 2013 the Bush tax cuts expire and there is no chance that a Democrat Senate will allow them to be continued.  Any one on limited income that is in the 10% bracket will then be in the 15% bracket and the rest will get into pocketbooks deeper.  Yeah I know, It’s patriotic to pay taxes.  Crazy Uncle Joe said so.

The only thing I can hope for is that at my age I’ll be Tango Uniform before the worst happens.

The Car in the Ditch

Say old man, where you been?  Seems like an eternity since you posted anything here.

Well Ida Red, I’ve been spending time with old age.  Cataract surgery, Skin Cancer Surgery and the like dampens a person’s enthusiasm for such things.

The Golden Years

Are here at last

The Golden Years

Can kiss my ass

In addition, I am more than depressed about the condition to which my country has deteriorated.  From the economy to foreign affairs all are in the ditch and it’s doubtful if it can be set up-right again. Let’s use an analogy to describe where we are and the possibilities. [Not to liberals; An analogy is a make believe story that explains a real world situation.]  In this analogy we will represent the economy, small business, military readiness etc with a car in a ditch.  The ditch has some water and the water is slowly rising.  If the water level reaches the engine the car may not be able to be returned to a drivable condition: 

The Analogy

A crowd has gathered composed of Conservatives, Republicans, Libertarians, Tea Partiers and the like.  They tie a large rope to the rear bumper of the car and all grasp the rope.  As they pull the car starts to move.  It appears they will be able to free the car from its watery grave.  A large black limousine pulls up and men in black suits exit shouting extremists, racists, tea baggers and using a machete sever the rope.  Still shouting insults they reenter the limousine and leave showing the middle finger salute.  Those assembled tie the pieces of rope together and start to pull once more.  The limousine returns and still shouting severs the rope in two places and take the piece with them all the while shouting their insults.  The crowd now looks at one another and wonders what they can do.  They look down the road where a cloud of dust can be seen on the horizon.  The cloud comes closer and it can be seen as a caravan of pick-up trucks.  F-150s, a few F250s, all being led by a “Boss” F-350.  The caravan approaches and parks beside the road.  Men and women dressed in Camoes exit each truck.  Each is carrying a weapon.  Shot guns, hunting rifles, and side arms.  They line each side of the road.  One places an empty chair in the middle of the road on which is inscribed “Don’t Tread on Me.”  A log chain is removed from the bed of the F-350 and secured to the bumper of the car in the ditch. The other end is attached to the ball hitch of the truck.  The truck starts forward with a deep growl and the car starts to move….To be Continued.    

Will the car like our Republic be pulled out of its misery?  Those assembled look back down the road and on a distance rise they can see the limousine..waiting..waiting. Will those in the limousine find a cutting torch since their machete is useless against the chain?  Time will tell.  That time frame will be Jan 20, 2013 through Jan 20, 2017.  Will a Romney/Ryan administration even with the House and a reclaimed Senate be able to turn things around?

For any chance, VOTE in November.

Chief Justice Neville Chamberlain

Nothing like being late to the party.  However, I’ve spent untold amount of time trying to rationalize this brouhaha about Obamacare and the robed denizens of the Supreme Court.  There appears to be three sides to the arguments.  Side one says; “Great, the Chief Justice has saved us from further use of the Commerce Clause by Congress to trash our freedoms.”  Side two says; “This will allow Congress to wrap everything is a tax label while they trash our freedoms.”  Side three, as stated by Jeffery Lord of the American Spectator, Says;  "This is a Neville Chamberlain type appeasement to the statists.” This whole thing brings me to a story of years back:

 A lady takes her teen age daughter, who is having female problems, to the  local Gynecologist. The doctor makes numerous tests and when he returns to the exam room he tells the mother “I’m sorry to tell you, but your daughter has venereal disease."  The woman shrieks “Oh my God, how could this happen? Doctor could she have gotten it off a toilet seat?”  The Doctor replied “Yes, I suppose so, but it would have been very uncomfortable.”

The doctor is right, we have been screwed.

Here’s Jeffery Lord’s take on side three:

Gubmint lookin' out for you

In view of the decision by the SCOUS keeping OBAMACARE around for our benefit the Federales will now supply, for a small fee, your high tech devices.  You must switch to these Government designed devices or pay a tax er uh penalty.
