Wow what an experience. I grew up handling rifles, handguns and shotguns imagining my whole life that I knew what I was doing. To a certain extent I did as did the other 18 who joined me for a terrific experience in the 90+ heat of Southern Louisiana. But, I quickly realized that Don, the gentle retired physics professor from Kentucky who volunteered to be our instructor, knew a lot more than me and indeed more than the small group of Marines who joined us. We learned about dragging wood, NPOA (Natural Point of Aim), how to use a sling, tighten up groups, breathing, zero sights and in general how to focus on getting hits on the AQT Army Qualification Test from the standing, sitting and prone positions.

If you came here looking for nude pictures of Carrie too bad sucker…
Well another day another vicious attack on a citizen who manages to utter a thought contrary to the meme of the left. Irony is apparently unknown to the left because they take themselves so seriously. How else to explain that they preach tolerance but practice attack and in attack they observe no rules. Exactly how long do they get away with this nonsense before we start getting pissed off?

This sort of screws up the whole argument in support of abortion doesn’t it? After all nearly everyone on the Pro Abortion side declares that these babies are not living beings. Someone forgot to tell this poor baby. Beyond the damage this does to the abortion arguments, this is plain murder. That person should be prosecuted for 2nd degree murder.

Five in the morning my daughter Marlo comes running through the house screaming that its SNOWING. And it sure is, not those little chickenshit snows that sometimes happen down here but heavy fun snow. Naturally the Legrands went outdoors immediatelyheh. Homeschool kids have lots of advantages over the indoctrination clan. So at 5:15 in the morning we are outsidethe girls were outside before that but only as long as it took me to remind them that going outdoors in the snow in their PJs might not be wise. Can you say excited? I know you can. See we dont get snow down here like this very often. Last time we had measurable snow and this measured right around 3 inches, WOW!

At the bottom of this post is a copy of a dumb ass email sent to me by the Republican Party. They miss me. I have given them hundreds of dollars…err perhaps a lot more in the last 31 years. I have worked the phones, knocked on doors, and written extensively on why they are better. I do none of that anymore…now those puddin heads want to send me stuffed animals named Sam to entice me to restart my giving…astounding. Why not send me some hope that they are different than the Democrats?

While countries from around the world drill just 75 miles off all of our shores we are too self righteous to do so ourselves. There is an answer and Anchoress is on to it. Vote the bastards out.
Holding your own countrymen hostage to foreign oil while also refusing to allow nuclear energy…it’s not leadership. It is the opposite of leadership. And it’s un-American, too.

In an article in the Los Angeles Times by Gregory Rodriguez, that wasn’t all together ridiculous, this point was made.
But that doesn’t make it right. No matter who wins the presidency, there is one thing we ought to learn from this campaign. In our rapidly diversifying nation, where we are all becoming minorities, the idea that any given group has an inalienable claim on a particular political seat, appointment or office based on demographics has officially outlived its usefulness. The fear of white decline – Los Angeles Times

This is strikingly true. I know in my house most of our photos are kept on disk. Perhaps it is time to start printing them out. Then there is my 600 vinyl albums…that I have been promising myself to digitize. At least they will still exist in 400 years even if the means to play them will be gone.

Glenn Reynolds is probably one of the most valuable resources in the Blogsphere…but every now and again he checks out and comes up with something loony. We should expect it since he is after all a member of a class of people whose grip on reality sometimes slips…alot. Witness this “piece” that Glenn points us to this morning. Glenn bestows the coveted “read the whole thing” link to a piece so badly argued that I will be forever questioning the abilities of lawyers coming from the University of Penn.

Instapundit linked to a story today that sparked a memory a speech and the unfortunate accuracy of the prediction. First the Instapundit Link:
POLL: Britons Fear Racial Violence: “Almost two-thirds of people in Britain fear race relations are so poor tensions are likely to spill over into violence, a BBC poll has suggested. Of the 1,000 people asked, 60% said the UK had too many immigrants and half wanted foreigners encouraged to leave.” The multi-cultural progress meets with its usual success.

Exactly what is meant by the bolded sentence?
The researchers say that, by focusing so heavily on high scorers, the elite colleges they examined are ignoring promising minority students with lesser scores, increasing the competition for high-scoring minority students, and potentially ?simply ?pricing? themselves out of the ?market? for a more diverse learning environment.? Especially among the most prestigious of the 30 institutions, it is hard to believe that putting less emphasis on high SAT scores would cause the institutions? quality to suffer.

What is simply pitiful about these facts is that until we address them as a society we will never correct the issue and blacks will continue living in the most dangerous sorts of conditions in this country. Blacks are 7 times more likely to die of murder. Let that settle in the next time you are feeling a little bit antsy in a situation. The violence in some of the neighborhoods is beyond our comprehension. But folks like Obama will never fix it, since they will spend their time worrying about the wrong problem. Like a doctor who allows you to die of a heart failure while he cures your ingrown toenail.

The left, bless their black little hearts, have never thought much of middle classes. That opinion underlies all of their philosophy. Indeed it is appealing, is it not, to consider that you are smarter than everyone you know, backseat drivers unite!…course the sane among us realize otherwise. The left, the mother of all backseat drivers.

After all if Obama was white he would have been laughed out of the house for making up that much baloney to excuse his alliance with the Right Reverend Wright. Obama made an alliance with this clown to “reach” out and gather street cred to make a run for office back in the day. Because back in the day the Right Reverend Wright was not as radical as he is now. And besides if he was radical and is radical now whose fault is it??? Well it’s white man’s fault and the way to heal that is for the white man to understand that we are to blame and we need to PAY. I am guessing that won’t play very well with in the fly over states. May not play well with all the blue dogs either. Oh baby please let Obama win the nomination. If we lose to that collection of leftist cliche’s we deserve anything that happens.

So you drive a van into a school bus full of kids. You kill 4 of them. You and your boyfriend are illegally in the country. The immigration fiasco has been in the news for over 6 years. Huge demonstrations both for and against illegal immigration have been happening all over the country. Given all of that exactly where in this article do you think the AP thought to update us with the fact that this woman who killed 4 children was an illegal alien? Furthermore that the owner of the van was also an illegal?

Life is to be respected…this little girl’s picture should be hung from every social services wall to remind them of the beauty of life.
Longtime readers will remember Haleigh from two years ago. She was the 11-year-old girl in Massachusetts who had been hospitalized after her stepfather allegedly burned her and beat her nearly to death with a baseball bat. Haleigh, in a coma, was kept alive by a feeding tube and ventilator. Doctors said she was virtually brain dead in a persistent vegetative state with no hope of recovery. The Massachusetts Department of Social Services wanted to remove Haleighs feeding and breathing tubes. They called her hopeless. They called her condition irreversible.

Some say that McCain’s strongest point is his desire to take the war to the enemy. But to me Bush’s weakest point was the fact that he never properly identified his enemy. Neither has McCain.
Mitt on the otherhand has indeed identified Global Jihadism as the enemy and he did it a long time ago. When I heard him speak in Baton Rouge near the beginning of the race he was talking about Global Jihadism. Don’t we want someone who will take the battle to the enemy instead of reacting to the enemy? I do.

I know its evil for me to think that this man is a Muslim after all maybe his name does not indicate it…and maybe his picture does not indicate it.
Course his two dead daughters might lead one to believe that he is. After all killing daughters seems to be becoming quite the sport among the fundamentalists Muslims. What exactly drives a culture to sanction family’s killing their daughters, sisters and wives? How do we understand a culture that does not bury this sort of behavior under a cloud of condemnation? Exactly how does a culture like this ever move out of the middle ages? How arrogant are we to believe we can create Democratic Republics from folks like these? The central tenet of Democratic Republics is equality. Are daughters, sisters and wives equal in a culture that condones their murder?

Guess what…it used to be that Republicans at least paid lip service to the idea that Government Programs were a bad idea. Now with the advent of the new “conservative” aka Compassionate Republicans there are no political parties that cater to my desire for limited government intrusion into my life. And so it is a race between the Islamists and Communists to see who can enslave me first. Thanks a bunch compassionate republicans for standing for nothing.

Mostly so that they could enjoy their grandchildren without having to be subjected to body cavity searches in Norman Mineta’s world of make believe safety, flying the unfriendly skies. Well they have finally said yes and everyone from the wife to the kids cannot wait to start building their house next to ours on the other half of our fairly large lot.

Vykky who has already fulfilled her dreams of being on Broadway by being in the original casts of Tommy, Caberet and then a few other off Broadway hits is now off doing something else. Tried to get her to come down to be my Assistant Manager of F&B but she wisely turned me down and went on to work for a private equity firm. Which leads to our Mom sending me this picture of Vykky all big and stuff. Whew…how can I top that?

Great article about homeschooling.

Of those who made it to the finals in Washington, 12.5 percent were homeschooled; of the top seven finishers, three were homeschooled. Last year, 13.5 percent of those making it to Washington for the Spelling Bee finals were homeschooled.

How come I am not surprised that this sort of thinking is coming out of the mouth of a former State Department “Diplomat”? A snippet from this article by Dan Simpson, a retired diplomat.
The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty. Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work. Then, on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling, and empty building. All firearms would be seized. The owners of weapons found in the searches would be prosecuted: $1,000 and one year in prison for each firearm. Source: toledoblade.com — The disarming of America

Truth peeked out from under Katie Couric’s skirt…CBS moved to snuff it out as well.
What caught the eye of the Freepers was the idea that Abortion was being used by a Columbine dad to explain why life is viewed so cheaply these days. But what caught my eye was the Dad’s observation that this country is in a moral free fall. Naturally Katie Couric had to issue a disclaimer that such talk was repugnant.

Gun Control means hitting your target.
Clayton Cramer has made it his task to scour the newspapers looking for reports of the use of weapons in self defense. Its a terrific read and is on my blogline feed. I recommend this blog highly especially to those poor souls who insist to me that I won’t have the time to reach my weapon, while assuring me they will have the time to reach a phone and wait for the police. Sheesh I will reach my gun, stop the invasion, call for pizza and eat it while the other guy is running around his house screaming and spraying mace. Mace, how to really piss off crazy people.
