Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Obama now has a pretext to become overtly involved in the Syrian civil war.
http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/01/15/secret_state_department_cable_chemical_weapons_used_in_syria
The reported gas attack makes no sense because Assad knows that using chem weapons will provoke US intervention. Given the capture of Lybian and Syrian chem weapon stockpiles by Islamicists rebels, a false flag attack seems far more plausible.
Our Absurd Fear Of Fat

Guess I’ll have another piece of birthday cake!
With a side o’ bacon.
The whole BMI caca is ridiculous. Your average NFL linebacker who is 6’4″ tall and weighs 250 lb. is considered morbidly obese. They usually have body fat of less than 5% and a resting pulse less than 50. I would never tell them they are fat. May I have a piece of your cake, with some bacon on top?
Mornin’ kids! Here’s us one to gnaw on while we wait for PD to wake up!!
That appears it will go quite well with my coffee. Thanks Wee.
Walmart pledges a job to every honorably discharged veteran
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/walmart-pledges-job-veteran-article-1.1240546
Of course, they are criticized for offering minimum wage, part-time jobs to returning vets, which “will do little to help returning military members get on their feet financially.”
Well, I applaud them. I don’t see the whinin’/b!tchin’ crowd doing anything else to rectify the job situation. At least they’ll have this while they look for something they might prefer to do.
That’s the problem, excuse me, one of the problems with the entitlement mentality. First they want things given to them. Then what is offered is offensive and not enough.
Gun lies from the left, and how to rebut them.

Salmon fishing in the Tay: Beautiful pictures as fishermen enjoy the start of Scotland’s angling season with pipe bands… and lots of whisky
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2262975/Salmon-fishing-Tay-Beautiful-pictures-fishermen-enjoy-start-Scotlands-angling-season-pipe-bands–lots-whisky.html
Sounds to me like I need to take up fishing! Strangely enough, I have always had a fascination for fly fishing, and wanted to learn it. I haven’t read the article, so I don’t know what type of fishing they are doing. It might have been the whisky word that caught my attention.
It appears that they are doing regular ol’ redneck fishin’ with a lure. There are way too many of them catching fish that would normally be way too big for fly-fishing (I think). I’m not so sure I want a bunch of grown men in skirts blaring their bagpipes that early in the morning after a night of whiskey drinkin’ either.
Great pics. Thanks for posting, Pat.
To me, fly fishing looks like a lot of work. I think I’d prefer to just sit on a pretty boat with my line over the side and drown worms.
The whiskey part still works, though.
Last time I was in Scotland was in the month of July n the eighties and I damn near froze to death. Our rental car was robbed by some guy who only took a sweatshirt, leaving cameras, binoculars and all the good stuff behind. I guess he was pretty damn cold.

I posted an article about this late last night. Boehner got lar-dass Christie his additional $50B in Sandy aid. Now he can shut his pie-hole and Teh Won will be a hero to all in the Northeast. 49 R’s and all but 1 d voted for this slush fund. Boehner broke the “Hastert Rule” to get this through. There went all those “savings” they all worked sooooo hard to get.

Gee, this surprises me not any at all.
Add: the R’s aren’t even trying to pretend with us anymore, huh? But the next election they will haul the flag out and wave it in our (they think) blind faces.
No they aren’t. I went with my head in the sand for a long time thinking that our guys were the good guys. Over the last 6-7 years my eyes have been opened quite a bit to discover that our side is giving us the same sh*t sandwich, but they put a slice of cheese on it to make it taste just a bit better feed it to us just a little bit slower.
“Why Things Just Work in Texas”
From the author – “A native Texan myself, I’ve always been proud of my state, some might say “obnoxiously proud” but I prefer to think of it as a, “passionate conviction of liberty and general badassness.”

I wonder about us. Prior to the Revolutionary War, there was no internet, no radio, no TV. People had to want to be informed, and they did. They went to church, town meetings, the pub. Word traveled from town to town, and people were hungry for news, and they were so involved, so angry about the loss of freedoms, the insult to their dignity and self determination that they rose up and defeated a world power with supposedly all the advantages. Now we can’t get the reality show television crowd to step away from honey boohoo long enough to vote or call a senator. We are not worthy descendents of the heroes and heroines who founded this country, many of us.
We now live in the E Network world.

Been on a nostalgia high lately, so I’ve been watching some Disney movies I watched as a kid; viewed Robin Hood…good God, the similarities I saw between Barry-boy and Prince John:
Neither could handle ANY criticism, especially being compared to those who were better than them. (Ronald Reagan > Barack Obama = King Richard > Prince John)
Both had issues with their parents while growing up.
Both are wannabe tyrants who punished regular citizens against him with high taxes.
My grandson loves the Robin Hood movie starring Errol Flynn.

POS 23 executive orders on gun control…told congress they need to act
Preached his directives with the black, white & spanish children standing behind him.
Surrounded by men with guns. The irony!
Here’s The List of 23 Anti-Gun Executive Actions President Obama Announced Today
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
January 16, 2013
Gun Violence Reduction Executive Actions
Today, the President is announcing that he and the Administration will:
1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant
data available to the federal background check system.
2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making
information available to the background check system.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check
system.
4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from
having a gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.
5. Propose rulemaking to give law enforcement the ability to run a full background
check on an individual before returning a seized gun.
6. Publish a letter from ATF to federally licensed gun dealers providing guidance on
how to run background checks for private sellers.
7. Launch a national safe and responsible gun ownership campaign.
8. Review safety standards for gun locks and gun safes (Consumer Product Safety
Commission).
9. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal law enforcement to trace guns
recovered in criminal investigations.
10. Release a DOJ report analyzing information on lost and stolen guns and make it
widely available to law enforcement.

training for active shooter situations.
13. Maximize enforcement efforts to prevent gun violence and prosecute gun crime.
14. Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to
research the causes and prevention of gun violence.
15. Direct the Attorney General to issue a report on the availability and most effective
use of new gun safety technologies and challenge the private sector to develop
innovative technologies.
16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients
about guns in their homes.
17. Release a letter to health care providers clarifying that no federal law prohibits
them from reporting threats of violence to law enforcement authorities.
18. Provide incentives for schools to hire school resource officers.
19. Develop model emergency response plans for schools, houses of worship and
institutions of higher education.
20. Release a letter to state health officials clarifying the scope of mental health
services that Medicaid plans must cover.

within ACA exchanges.
22. Commit to finalizing mental health parity regulations.
23. Launch a national dialogue led by Secretaries Sebelius and Duncan on mental
health.

As of this typing, that post is under moderation. I touch on some concerning trends in relation to those provisions, and others, and comment on a particularly disturbing story that these trends will likely make the story of many others.
These things appear to be legal orders to me. Directives to his agencies. The Swinestein Bill is what t watch out for.
So you know how some people may refer to Ronald Reagan as “Ronaldus Magnus”? I’m all for a new nickname for Barry-boy; “Barackus Minimus” (Term of Endearment, of course, /sarc)
LOL!!! Or worse. We’ll have to check out latin nasty words.
Another Congressmen starting to beat the impeachment drum:
http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/16/second-gop-congressman-suggests-impeachment-over-executive-action-for-gun-control/
Impeachment doesn’t seem like a threat when you never had any intention to comply with the law, so I believe it is safe to say that this would not make Barry-boy hesistant to force his will on the people. Not in the slightest.
And impeachment is not a threat when the Senate will never vote to take the impeachment charges to trial. Unless the Congressmen “beating the impeachment drum” each have a Senator standing with them ready to let the thing go to trial….bucket/warm spit.
MK Loves Obama. Trust me, it’s funny in an “oh damn, that is so true,” kinda way.

Oh, waaahhhhh. Gonna have to drag out the waaaahmbulance, looks like…..
http://theulstermanreport.com/2013/01/16/republican-insider-obama-livid-over-gun-rights-backlash/
That’s good to hear, but after all the insiders talk re 2012 election & the overwhelming opposite outcome, I’ll take this with a grain of salt.
He’s right. Even those people who normally try to remain unpolitical were speaking out against the assault on the 2nd amendment.
I agree with ctdar. I want obama livid for the rest of his days. But the problem is this: we know that the republicans can be bought off or threatened at the drop of a hat, and at any moment, some cabal of rinos or Potomoc “conservatives” will call a press conference and call us names because we didn’t genuflect right. If they get fearful of His Lividness, they’ll sell us down the river the minute they’re offered a weekend in the Poconos, new media or not.
I really hate this: our formerly free Republic is being held together by the very weak glue of “can we make them fearful enough of us today to force them to do the right thing? force them to make Constitutionally based decisions? force them to speak truth?”
*Morality based on **fear isn’t worth a hill of beans. And liberty based on making the kings fear their subjects is not liberty at all. (And by “kings” here I refer to Congress)
*Keeping the repubs/congress constitutionally-based
**We have to keep scaring them in order to hold the nation together?? That’s sick. In the worst sort of ways.
We are experiencing a really, really distorted version of “democracy”–as long as enough conservative, normal Americans can intimidate our keepers, and they sense that “we are more than they”–THEN they yield; THEN they stand. That is NOT a Republic–that’s raw democracy. We are to be a REPUBLIC. So yeah, we can be glad we won this round–but it’s worthless in the long run.
Teh Won is creating the turmoil so that he can prove that we are wing-nuts and wack jobs. This link is from Rush’s show today where he lays this out. Nothing the man does is without purpose. People can continue to say how stupid he is and he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I see it exactly the opposite. He DOES know what he’s doing and he’s doing it on purpose. Disagree at your own peril. It’s not just Soros. There are thousands behind this. Just like obamacare didn’t get written overnight, neither did any of this gun crap. This stuff has been sitting around getting tweaked depending on the situation and at the right time it’s brought out and hammered on us.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2013/01/16/obama_provokes_the_american_people
I do, too. I think if we marched on DC like back on the big 912, we’d be shot. Miscreants, you know – domestic terrorists. Gun-nuts, food-hoarders, extreme preppers, whatever. And that’s exactly what the media will report. ‘Cause this is for the ‘chirren.’
That march on DC scared the shit out of them – it’s why they got the Imam out of town.
I may share my theories on gun control with a grandchild or two this weekend. Show them how two hands are better than one.
Excellent idea – I believe you have one or two old enough to …. explain, and elaborate on the history of this great nation and its Constitution. Mention Hitler, if ya’s get a chance.
