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 †
Progressive and intolerant Colin Powell has the whole gun debate figured out: “why can’t we just test everybody” before they are allowed to own a firearm?
There’s those pesky “Bill of Rights” thingy’s again. Maybe we could test before allowing voting rights. Or, well, maybe a stability test before free speech expression, or religious affiliation.
What’s that, those other rights can’t kill people? Really? Think about that.
And NO, driving is not a “right”, so testing is not an appropriate comparison. And if you cannot see the slippery slope to ownership of ice-cream purchasing based in physical exam and BMI (Body Mass Index) then you really don’t connect dots that well. (more…)
WASHINGTON — Just two days before Vice President Joe Biden delivers a comprehensive set of recommendations on gun policy, National Rifle Association President David Keene rejected the reported outline of suggestions Sunday and dismissed any ban on assault weapons or high-capacity magazines as a non-starter.
“We don’t think any of those things work,” he said in appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “You should absolutely be able to compromise on things that accomplish the purpose. Our objection to those things is that they interfere with people’s rights without doing anything to solve the problem.” (more…)
You’re sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear, you hear muffled whispers. At least two people have broken into your house and are moving your way. With your heart pumping, you reach down beside your bed and pick up your shotgun. You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it…
In the darkness, you make out two shadows. One holds something that looks like a crowbar. When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike, you raise the shotgun and fire. The blast knocks both thugs to the floor. One writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.
As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you’re in trouble. In your country, most guns were outlawed years before, and the few that are privately owned are so stringently regulated as to make them useless..
Yours was never registered.. (more…)
The reason I link this prog-race baiter to this article is to show “self defense” has nothing to do with color. As idiots like Nat Jackson can never fathom, the victim is not the one profiling – they are the ones being profiled.
SHAWNEE, Oklahoma -Armed with a gun and ready to shoot, a Shawnee woman defended her home as man broke down her door. It happened in broad daylight and she didn’t back down.
Pam Loman and her husband, James, say they’ve lived on Homer Lane in Shawnee for over 10 years and have never had any problems. But early Friday afternoon, while Pam was home alone, she quickly figured out, three men outside her home were up to no good.
“I still feel queasy sick at my stomach, a little shaky, a little nervous,” Pam said.
Pam was cleaning her home Friday afternoon when she heard someone knocking at her front door.
“One was knocking on the door, but there was two in the car. So I thought that was kind of strange, and they looked a little scary,” she said. (more…)
Although this video production does a good job overlaying the Emily pic to the kid in POTUS lap (nice presentation) the entire Emily non-conspiracy/conspiracy can simply be explained as VERY similar in appearance blonde sisters, and mom putting the same dress on the younger sibling. Done. Next…
It is the shooter’s CAR, or more aptly the Honda Civic they pulled the shotgun from, that interests me. Why is the registration of this car, and the fact is has no relation to the Lanza family, not being researched or reported. Surely how Adam Lanza got to the school, and whose car it was, would actually be a significant detail the media would report on.
The fabric used for the 25 and 50 pound bags of flour during the ’30s and ’40s was tough and useful and pretty.
In the days before doubleknit or wash and wear, there was pleasure in variety and the flour sacks provided flowery variety.
Here’s a simple little poem about the wonders of those flour sacks. (more…)
Pinch me…… This is not a typo, the French, as in France, the country of, are using fighter jets to attack al-Qaeda in North Africa. The French are engaged in active military operations against Islamists in Mali. Did I mention this is France doing this…..
Who would have thought that France would be fighting al-Qaeda and the United States would be providing al-Qaeda weapons (Syria) while claiming they are gone. All the while an American Abassador is dragged through the streets and al-Qaeda flags hoisted atop U.S. embassies, and we do…….. ?
John Kerry for Secretary of State, Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary, Jack Lew for Treasury and John O Brennan for CIA Director…. Sheeesh…. Wake me up in five years,… but only if I can still buy asprin with dollars.
(Reuters) — French aircraft pounded Islamist rebels in Mali for a second day on Saturday and neighboring West African states sped up their plans to deploy troops in an international campaign to prevent groups linked to al Qaeda expanding their power base.
France, warning that the control of northern Mali by the militants posed a security threat to Europe, intervened dramatically on Friday as heavily armed Islamist fighters swept southwards towards Mali’s capital Bamako. (more…)
Um, toldyaso… The architect of the Oval Office defense behind Fast and Furious, AND the architect of the Benghazi defense, Denis McDonough, is going to be rewarded with the office overlooking the Don Regan patio.
(Via The Hill) President Obama is leaning toward choosing Denis McDonough, currently a deputy national security adviser, as his next chief of staff, sources told Bloomberg.
McDonough, who worked on Obama’s 2008 campaign, is considered deeply loyal to the president. He was a longtime congressional aide who worked for Obama when he was a freshman senator. McDonough also served as foreign policy adviser to then-Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle (S.D.) and legislative director to then-Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), who is now the secretary of the Interior. (more…)
