I picked up this Zombie Killer today. A Mossberg 500a with an 18.5 inch barrel. The artwork is woodburned by a Mesa artist named Keegan. See more of his stuff HERE nice guy and very talented. Site may be NSFW.
Count your blessing and thank God you live in the greatest country on earth.
Thank you to all those in uniform that make this possible. That includes my son, on duty today in the bowels of the USS Enterprise. Call when you can!
When you haveTHIS without THIS you will end up fighting THIS or end up HERE
Unfortunately for America this is not flawed logic, it may come to pass.
I received this in an email from my friend Don. I do not know the author.
GOD vs. Science
A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students, 'Let me explain the problem science has with religion.' The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'
'Yes sir,' the student says.
'So you believe in God?'
'Absolutely.'
'Is God good?'
'Sure! God's good.'
'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'
'Yes.'
'Are you good or evil?'
'The Bible says I'm evil.'
The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'
'Yes sir, I would.'
'So you're good...!'
'I wouldn't say that.'
'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'
The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'
The student remains silent.
'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'
'Er...yes,' the student says.
'Is Satan good?'
The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'
'Then where does Satan come from?'
The student falters. 'From God'
'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'
'Yes, sir.'
'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'
'Yes.'
'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'
Again, the student has no answer. 'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'
The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.'
'So who created them?'
The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them?' There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'
The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I do.'
The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'
'No sir. I've never seen Him.'
'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'
'No, sir, I have not.'
'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'
'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'
'Yet you still believe in him?'
'Yes.'
'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'
'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'
'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'
At the back of the room another student stands quietly for a moment before asking a question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'
'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'
'And is there such a thing as cold?'
'Yes, son, there's cold too.'
'No sir, there isn't.'
The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. 'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees.'
'Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'
Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.
'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'
'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'
'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word.'
'In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'
The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'
'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'
The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?'
'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.'
'It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.'
'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'
'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.'
'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'
The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.
'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'
The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.
'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'
The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter.
'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir.'
'So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'
Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.
Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'
'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'
Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'
To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'
The professor sat down.
The Messiah's own hometown Brownshirts
From Drudge More insanity Kicking churches to the curb.
Governor Janet to head DHS? The very same man/woman/other who vetoed every important piece of anti-illegal alien legislation here in Arizona? BWHAAAAAAAAHAAAA. If the Messiah is known by the company he keeps it sure speaks volumes for the lousy friends and dirtbags he hangs out with.
Janet will be the new Janet...................Reno that is.
The Cabinet is almost complete.
The Messiah just keeps getting wackier and wackier. Now he picks Tom Daschle for his cabinet. More ex-Clintonistas, same old worn out DNC reruns..........What about change and hope? Suckas!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Messiah has chosen Eric Holder as his AG pick........We are in trouble, this douchebag was assistant AG under Janet Reno. He helped with the Marc Rich pardon under Clinton and worked on the Heller vs. DC case. I did not think the Chosen One was that stoopid to start the 2nd amendment fight right out of the gate.
Hang on to your lug nuts................
Well I did something I never do, I ventured into Wally World today to see what kinda prices they had on boomstick projectiles. I am not a fan of Walmart and try to stay away from the place at all costs................The boss and I swam through the zombies like we were part of the pack and I managed to get to the sporting goods department without getting an arm bit off. I found the man behind the counter among the living and grabbed another 100 rounds of 230 grain .45ACP hardballs and a box of Winchester 150 grain 30-06 silvertips.
Ran to the parking lot and jumped in the ole ladies truck alive and well. I saw on the counter that Wally World was offering free CCW classes every friday night. Hmmmmmm I might have to join the great unwashed masses more often.
Chairman Maobama:
The Democratic Party is the core of the American revolution, and its principles are based on Marxism-Leninism. Party criticism should be carried out within the Party
The revolution, and the recognition of class and class struggle, are necessary for peasants and the American people to overcome both domestic and foreign enemy elements. This is not a simple, clean, or quick struggle.
Socialism must be developed in America, and the route toward such an end is a democratic revolution, which will enable socialist and communist consolidation over a length of time. It is also important to unite with the middle peasants, and educate them on the failings of capitalism.
There are at least two basic kinds of contradiction: the antagonistic contradictions which exist between communist countries and their capitalist neighbors and between the people and the enemies of the people, and the contradictions among the people themselves, people unconvinced of America's new path, which should be dealt with in a democratic and non-antagonistic fashion.
War is a continuation of politics, and there are at least two types: just (progressive) and unjust wars, which only serve bourgeois interests. While no one likes war, we must remain ready to wage just wars against imperialist agitations.
U.S. imperialism, and European and domestic reactionary forces, represent real dangers, and in this respect are like real tigers. However, because the goal of the Democratic Party is just, and reactionary interests are self-centered and unjust, after struggle, they will be revealed to be much less dangerous than they were earlier perceived to be.
Fighting is unpleasant, and the people of America would prefer not to do it at all. At the same time, they stand ready to wage a just struggle of self-preservation against reactionary elements, both Republican and conservative.
It is the responsibility of all to cultivate themselves, and study Marxism-Leninism deeply. It is also necessary for people to turn their attention to contemporary problems, along empirical lines.
All traces of former lead Chang Kai Bush shall be eradicated.............
A sad attempt at humor on my part, really not that funny..................
No bail outs, not now, not ever............What the hell is going on in this country? Government owned banks, auto companies, insurance companies, and what else? They are already lining up. We simply cannot afford to reward bad behavior. Good business takes care of itself and bad business takes care of itself.
Nancy Pelosi, has prostrated herself in front of the UAW begging to bail out the big three and the bloated, antiquated labor unions. See it is time to pay the piper. I wonder what all the eco-weenies think of that? America was built on the success and failure of business that was allowed to flourish or wither in the fields of capitalism.
Emperor Paulson needs to be replaced with someone who is interested in the long-term survival of the United States. AIG typifies all that is wrong with this intervention, allow these corrupt and cancerous entities to fail. Short term pain and suffering followed by a rebirth of sound business practice and fiscal responsibility.
If we continue to reward poor performance we will continue to get poor performance. Stop the insanity now!
I went out this morning to hoist Old Glory for Veterans Day, I looked to the south and saw a sad sight. Something I had not seen in almost 30 years of being neighbors. No flag flying over Bud's house. Bud is my neighbor, but he does not live there anymore. His wife of over sixty years passed away last Christmas, Bud never recovered from the loss and soon his health failed also. He lives peacefully in a local nursing home now.
I wrote this on Veterans Day 11-11-04:
What does Veterans Day mean to me?
I went out early to hoist my flag on a clear cool November morning to honor those Veterans who have given so much to this great nation. I need only look next door to see what Veterans day means to me.
My next-door neighbor is a man named Eugene Colburn. Bud, to his friends and family has been my neighbor and friend for over 24 years, quick with a smile and first to laugh I cannot think of one time I have ever seen him mad or complaining about anything.
He is not of my generation, he is from the greatest generation this country has every produced. Bud enlisted to fight the Japanese in World War Two, fought in the Marianas and then he and his buddy had a brilliant idea. To get out of the jungles and heat they signed up for the Army Air Corp. In December of 1944 Hitler threw the last of his divisions at the Americans in the Ardennes forest. The army, short of qualified soldiers, pulled Bud and his friend out of school and off to Europe. They ended up fighting in the Battle of the Bulge. The coldest winter in fifty years.
Bud came back to America and at 83 years old is still happy, proud and humble. A true American that did his duty without complaint,regret or bitterness. He is a Veteran that typifies the spirit of Honor,Duty and Country.
This is for you, Bud
From Judicial Watch:
"Arizona’s Supreme Court chief justice has agreed to enforce the Hispanic Bar Association’s demands of banning the terms “illegal” and “aliens” in all of the state’s courtrooms.
Claiming that the terms are inflammatory, the president of Arizona’s Hispanic Bar Association, (known as Los Abogados) has asked state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to stop using them at trials or hearings because they create perceptions of judicial bias.
In a strongly worded letter to the chief justice, Los Abogados’ president says attaching an illegal status to a person establishes a brand of contemptibility, creates the appearance of anti-immigrant prejudice and tarnishes the image of courts as a place where disputes may be fairly resolved.
It further points out that no human being is illegal and that a national Hispanic journalism association has roundly criticized the reference for dehumanizing a segment of the population. The letter goes on to criticize the state’s High Court for using the term “illegals” in at least two opinions and the term “illegal aliens” in dozens of others.
It concludes with a list of acceptable and unacceptable terms relating to illegal immigration. Among those the group wants banned are; immigration crisis, immigration epidemic, open borders advocates, anchor babies and invaders. Among the acceptable terms are foreign nationals, unauthorized workers and human rights advocates. Click here to see the entire list as well as Chief Justice McGregor’s promise to enforce the requests."
Here's what it should have said:
Arizona’s El Supremo Court chief justice has agreed to enforce the Hispanic Cantina Association’s demands of banning the terms “entrant” and “undocumented worker” in all of the state’s courtrooms.
Claiming that the terms hit too close to home, the president of Arizona’s Hispanic Cantina Association, (known as Los Albondigas) has asked state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to stop using them at trials or hearings because they create perceptions of legal and acceptable behavior.
In a strongly worded letter to the chief justice, Los Albondigas’ president says attaching legal status to a person establishes a brand of contemptibility, creates the appearance of pro-immigrant prejudice and reinforces the image of courts as a place where bias and political pandering reign supreme.
It further points out that no human being is entitled to the rights and privileges set aside for it's citizens to those who enter a sovereign country illegally.The national Hispanic journalism association has roundly criticized the reference for humanizing a segment of the population.

Nogales Es Caca Centro Really? I took this from the Red Star, the local commie fishwrap. I guess when you fling feces long enough the people quit coming to the zoo.
My lovely bride and I made our annual pilgrimage to the Fireman's Chili Cookoff downtown.

The Chosen One won't have any wealth left to spread around.
The age of entitlement is officially here. Obama wanted the job, well now he has got it. He will find out just how heavy that crown really is. All the promises made, all that political influence that fueled his massive campaign must be reconciled. No more BDS or Republicans to blame the responsibility is all his.
I am suprised how many people are so upset, the Republicans are to blame for this fiasco. They left their principles and values at the gate a long time ago. In their effort to appease the left and center they themselves prostituted all that had held conservatives in their sway. President Bush was the biggest culprit of them all.
I will continue to do the things that have kept me in business and remain true to those values I hold most dear. My family and I will suffer under the continued growth and interference of government. We will adapt and survive. I will hold my cards a little closer to my chest and concentrate my efforts in protecting my loved ones from those who will try to spread my wealth.
I do not want nor did not ask for the cradle-to-grave society that the Chosen One has promised to deliver. It will be less of a blow to those of us who already know that the majority of the Great Society part two will never come to fruition.
It really is an opportunity for the rebirth of the conservative movement with new leadership and old ideas. Who knows someday I may even become a Republican again. Until then I hope and pray that we may survive the baptism under fire the President-elect will have to endure. The world is watching, not with open arms but razor sharp talons.
So rejoice in your victory and savor the spoils, tomorrow brings the sober reality of leadership and all the ugly facets responsibility. Obama may soon have wished McCain had won instead.
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace.
We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
--Samuel Adams

Are still that way in Elk Springs, New Mexico. A crisp beautiful weekend with a population of 13, it was crowded for this late in the year. In the pictures my neighbor Roger and I (cowboy hat) are finishing up the log siding on our neighbor Daves cabin. Dave and scaffolding don't mix too well so we helped him out. Thats how things are done up there, just like they were a hundred years ago. No TV, newspapers, or other of life's so-called necessities to ruin God's country. Good friends, hard work and a little fun at the end of the day. What more could you ask for? The nearest town (pop. 5000) is thirty miles away on a winding dirt road. The air is clear and the milkyway bright. We saw 8 antelope on our morning walk and a nice bull Elk on the way home today
