Government is your family ???

Some fourth grade students in Illinois are being taught Government is your family and were given the following test. I thought I would list my answers.

1. How does your family keep you safe?

Answer,  They keep us away from government intrusion and buy a gun for protection and teach kids to think for themselves.

2. How does the government keep its citizens safe?

Answer, They don't, they undermine family authority, they tell us guns are dangerous 

3. How does your family keep you healthy?

Answer, They feed us good food and take us to a good doctor when we are sick. We also get exercise like hiking, camping and hunting.

4. How does the government keep its citizens healthy?
Answer, They hinder the family by forcing us to use 0bama care. They want to limit the size of sodas but not limit the garbage kids can watch on TV.

5. How does your family help you learn and become educated?
Answer, they teach us to think for ourselves and don't believe what government tells us. If at all possible they home-school us.
 
6. How does the government help its citizens learn and become educated?
Answer, They indoctrinate us to be good little liberals, this stupid little test is a perfect example. 

7. What kind of rules does your family have for you?
Answer, Don't smoke, drink, have sex, play with matches or run with scissors.

8. What kind of rules does government have for its citizens?
Answer, They teach us to be ourselves and if it feels good do it. They teach us parents don't know what is best for us.

9. How does your family punish you when you break the rules?
Answer, They give as a spanking or time out and we learn there is consequences to our actions.

10. How does government punish citizens who break the law?
Answer, They tell is it isn't our fault, it's because of our upbringing. They tell us government knows best how to raise children

On the road again...

I am on the road again for a few days and will check in as I can.
I like taking the back roads when I can because it makes for a more interesting trip.

Thought for the day,  Unless you are the lead dog the view never changes

New Blog

I wanted to mention a new blog you might find interesting, it is written by one of my sons who is a doctor of physical therapy and is specialized and licensed in sports rehab.

He recently joined the US Army as a Captain and just completed his third week of officer training in Ft Sam Houston Texas. His blog is called Soldier Solace  and is updated daily (at least at the moment) and he writes about the training and different evolutions and functions they have to go through.
Having been enlisted myself I find the process interesting. I waited a couple weeks to post this so he would have some content on his blog and more interesting training to read about.
Stop by and say hi, offer some encouragement  and if you enjoy reading it click his follow button.

Why didn't I think of this earlier ?

I was walking through a toy isle the other day and saw a toy gun with an orange tip on the barrel to make it non-threatening and I thought what a novel idea.
Obviously the solid black look is evil because the government is against it but on the other hand orange and green highlights make it look warm and fuzzy. I could paint the tip of my AR bright orange and maybe the trigger as well to give it that safe look and make it accepted by the masses. Wouldn't it be hilarious if all AR manufacturers starting producing orange flash hiders, what would the toy people do.
On another note, I will be going to the range today with some of our group, Stephen and Senior will be there to participate in some serious gun training, stuff you can't do at your local range, report to follow.
Thought for the day.....If you can't be safe at least have fun. (good range rule)

2 Million Bikers to DC

I guess by now you have heard about the 'Million Monkey Muslim March' on Washington DC set for 9-11. If this is not an in your face so what you gonna do about it moment I don't know what is.

This would be like the Nazi's having a march in Jerusalem on a Jewish holly day or maybe like the KKK having a march in Washington on MLK's birthday (I am sure the media would frown on that) but you get a bunch of inbred Muslims who want to march in DC on 9-11 and it is a wonderful thing.
Now we have a 2 million biker march ride on DC set for 9-11 as well, they even have a Face Book page which you can go to and 'like' (over 37,000 in about a week) The organizers of the MMM are now trying to re name it due to the backlash from the general population but the word out.
What I would like to see is two million armed bikers show up, I don't care that it's against their unconstitutional law to be armed in DC (I'm fairly sure the Patriots in 1776 didn't worry about silly little rules like that) and to be honest the police up there could not handle the magnitude of something like that. I hope there is enough motorcycles show up to choke all the roads in and out of DC and I hope it's loud enough to drown out all the anti-American speeches. I know for a fact some of these bikers are just crazy enough and not afraid of being arrested to make a point, wish I could say that about the rest of the sheeple.
Free men don't need and don't ask for permission. 

All the Gold

Many of you may be familiar with the  Media Research Center and have seen this but this struck me as funny,

This morning I got an email which said rumors were swirling around Washington that all the gold was missing from Ft Knox and that it has been sold to China, it went on to say.... "Without any gold in Fort Knox, the United States has nothing backing the dollar but faith. "
I don't know what these people have been smoking but our dollar has not been backed by gold since the 60's so while I doubt all the gold is missing, ( I kinda think something like that would be hard to keep under wraps for 40 + years, I mean somebody would have spoke on their death bed) bottom line is there is NOTHING backing our dollar except faith.......Faith in the government and it's upstanding, loyal, unselfish, faithful devotion to you. I don't know about you but this makes be feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I think I will go sit the Social Security office and 'feel the love'

It Could Be Worse.

Concealed Carry Philosophy, Part V

Sorry I have been a bit tardy lately I hope to get back in a groove soon. With my trip recently taking my time I got off track on  my little series on concealed carry philosophy. 


I want to mention a couple carry guns which don't cost a lot but are decent quality.  The one at right is a newer Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 special. This is one I like to carry some, the 44 special is a little costly to shoot a bunch but I reload for it which makes it as cheap as anything else and even if you buy the ammo you can buy reloads more reasonable than new factory loads. Recoil is a little harsh but not too bad, still a blast to shoot.

 At left is an older Charter Arms 38 special, another fine carry gun which can be found without breaking the piggy bank. In my opinion most Charter Arms are fair quality guns, I do have one which was made in the 90's I think which is marked 'Charco' and they don't seem to be as good a fit and finish however they still go bang when the trigger is pulled but if I was looking I would try and find one not marked 'Charco' (just my opinion)  The very early ones and the newer ones made since around 2000 seem the better quality.

Bottom line is you don't have to spend big bucks to have a decent CC weapon in fact the little Charter Arms 38's can be found for under $250 if you keep your eyes open and in the last week I saw a used 44 Bulldog for $299 so they are out there.

Part one here

FYI

How could this happen ?

In the news Jesse Jackson Jr was sentenced to 30 months in prison for stealing campaign funds and his wife was sentenced to 1 year in prison for false tax returns.
 It was reported Jackson used the money to buy things like a Rolex and other personal things, the article didn't say but I wonder if it included this fur coat.
Who wants to wager how long before he gets out or 0bama pardons him.

Klan Rally ???

Proving again that liberals are shallow and intolerant we have this story about a rodeo clown at the Missouri state fair who dressed with an 0bama mask while the announcer asked the crowd if they would like to see 0bama run down by a bull. According to the story the crowd went wild and "hooped and hollered" at the stunt. True to life in the crowd was at least one weak minded, frail, bed wetting, anti American who took offense and said it was "It was cruel, It was disturbing, I'm still sick to my stomach" and said he thought he was watching a Klan Rally.
Of course stepping back maybe he is correct, I am sure no liberal ever wore a Nixon or Regan mask and pulled any distasteful stunts and if it did happen I am sure there would be outrage and news stories about how shameful it was and lets be real, in our enlightened society there is no place for comedians, talk show hosts and news persons openly disrespecting the president on national TV in fact I am quite sure George Bush was not treated to this kind of ridicule or disrespect from kind understanding compassionate liberals. 
 What is kind of funny is if this bleeding heart had kept his mouth shut the only people to know about it would have been those in attendance but he has boosted the 'shameful event' from a small venue to national stage, you gotta love freedom of the press.

Good Read

Chris Kyle

Things have been busy since coming home but I wanted to mention a good book I read while away.
"American Gun" by Chris Kyle, he is the US Navy SEAL killed recently by a fellow war vet he was trying to help.
The book was written by him but published after his death. In it he picks 10 of the most important firearms (in his opinion) in our history and how they shaped our country.  He gives stories of each weapon and how it was developed and used which makes it interesting and easy to read and because it covers 10 different weapons it can be enjoyed in short segments without loosing a story line which should appeal to those who don't normally like to read a lot.
If you enjoy shooting you will enjoy this book.

Back Home

Just got back this evening after a 13 hour trip through the mountains and down the coast. Hope to post more tomorrow.

Still Kick'in

I am alive and well even though I have had to endure mornings in the 50 degree ranges.
I had a chance to do some ground hog hunting the last few days. Yesterday morning in my cousins field I was hunting I saw 13 turkeys in a group, a bunch of rabbits, one bob cat, 3 deer and numerous ground hogs, most of which which met their demise.
On another note I ran across a neat link for Gun Manuals it is pretty handy to have all this info in one location, thought some may like it as well.

Checking in.

I made it here safe although it was slow dragging my 5th wheel through the mountains. One thing I have noticed traveling is you can tell which states have money issues by the conditions of their roads especially the interstates. Florida has good roads the worst I have seen in a while is South Carolina which has large cracks and pot holes in the interstate. Virginia is good but I would expect that with the proximity to DC. 
I have a little quiet campground at the base of a mountain and we are the only camper beside the caretaker. There is a big chain fast food joint about 3 miles down the road where I can get the an internet connection so I will check in when I can.
