Can anyone explain why "conservatives" who realize it really is "us vs. them" are considered mouth breathing knuckle draggers but when Barack Hussein Obama refers to conservatives as "the enemy" it's just politics? If you don't realize that you've been brainwashed by the media into thinking this way you're not part of the problem, you are the problem.
This is just my little place to complain, to express my thoughts, and to sometimes put up little things about my life that I may feel like sharing. I'm fairly opinonated at times, and my opinions have offened people in the past, and I know they will in the future. If you are offended easily, please, feel free to go somewere else
! Simple fact of the matter is, I may offend you with my thoughts, and you may offend me with yours. If you can't deal with it, I don't really care.

The Declaration of Independence
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.-- And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Phil Robertson, the latest victim of intolerance.
As we all know by now, Phil Robertson, founder of Duck Commander was foolish enough to give an interview with GQ magazine. The rag had a liberal progressive agenda and pressed on his opinion about being gay. Phil expressed that although he doesn't discriminate, not would he, he doesn't understand how a man could prefer another man's anus to a woman's vagina.
Phil isn't discriminating against anyone, he expressed his opinion that he's straight and doesn't understand gays. If someone is gay and doesn't understand straight he/she/it will be put on a pedestal and applauded. The fact that "tolerance" only applies to one particular viewpoint proves that progress really mean fascism. In fascism there is one view, and only one view, that is what we're working towards in this country.
Tolerance goes both ways, you should be tolerant of other's opinions even if you don't agree. Unfortunately, in today's world if your opinion doesn't match up 100% with the politically correct opinion of the moment you need to be silenced.
This is now, and in the future will be a big problem for those who don't want to have sex with others if the same sex. If you disagree with those that do you're branded a "homophobe". If you have a disagreement with someone who has a skin color that is darker than your skin you are branded a racist. If you don't want a radical Muslim to blow you our your family up you're an islamaphobe.
People need to wake up and realize that people will always have a different opinion, if you want to silence this who have a differing one, just because they have a differing one. You are the bigot, and whether you realize it or not, you're advocating fascism.

204 Ruger
This is the the barrel for my .204 Ruger I'm building. It's still on the lathe here before the muzzle is threaded. As this thing comes together I'm getting a little more excited.

The Greater Good
Below are some simple words to understand, unfortunately in today's America it seems that many politicians and police agencies can't read them.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
It's not like these government agencies and the politicians and bureaucrats that control them don't know what this says, it's been the law of the land for 222 years now. The problem is that it hinders what they consider "progress", do they will chip away at it, see how far they can push it, and if need be they will change the courts until the courts will allow them to violate it with impunity. Ask for "the greater good", whenever good people hear someone say it's for "the greater good" they should stand up and take notice, because it rarely is good.

The FDA is looking for more Control
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has decided to ban trans fats from the United States of America. That's right, it wasn't congress that is issuing a ban, it's a unelected bureaucrat that doesn't have to answer to the American people. I've had discussions with people who are all for this, they think that it's up to the FDA to keep Americans trim and healthy. Unfortunately, I've had to point out that the obesity that they're so concerned about has skyrocketed in the 107 years since the FDA was formed.
The FDA isn't there to keep you from getting fat, and we've has enough tainted food hit the market in the United States to show they're not great at keeping you healthy either. Anyone who's had to drive halfway across Las Vegas, or any other big city, because that's where the ambulance took your wife because of food poisoning knows how well they do at that.
The FDA's main role is to regulate drugs, they make drugs that have a lot of promise wait years to go through a "testing" process all the while the same drugs are saving lives in Europe. These trials don't always give you a great feeling that the drugs that they approve when you see some of the side effects of them. I'm not talking about something that gives you a headache, I'm talking about making teens suicidal or even worse, homicidal. In fact, most of the mass shootings that you see being sensationalized by the media, the perpetrator was prescribed a FDA approved drug.
The FDA isn't about making your life that much better, it's more about controlling your life however some unelected bureaucrat thinks best.

The nightmare of the Virginia governor's election
The reason that people are so up in arms over Bill "Blowjob" Clinton's lackey Terry Mcaullif winning the governorship in Virginia is that even being 10 points down a month ago Ken Cucinelli closed the gap and had a chance. The RNC hardly put any money into the race because they didn't really care. Cucinelli was someone who liked by the Tea Party, therefore he was someone who the establishment GOP can't stand.
The establishment GOP, asking with the media and the democrats have now picked the Fat Bastard in New Jersey to be the next GOP presidential nominee. Why would they want him to be the nominee when the only difference between him and the democrats is the (R) next to his name? Could it be because there is no real difference between the parties anymore? They will all get us to the same place, the place that is built with big government (Chris Christie big), punishing success, and breaking the backs of the middle class.
While the democrats are in full attack mode, ready to "keep a boot in the throat of the enemy". The GOP would simply rather take out one of their item than the opposition. The democrats have to love the fact the the GOP will eat their own instead of calling them out.
It's already one party rule in a two party system, and its time to wake up the American people.
The Libertarians Ruined My Election
I'm seeing a lot of people whining and crying about yesterday's failed bid by Cuccinelli to become the next governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The republicans are blaming libertarians, the Tea Party is blaming the establishment GOP. The problem is, no one is blaming the democrats that voted for Slick Willy's lackey instead of the people who are genuinely fed up with politics as usual. Is it that much better to blame "libertarians" instead of the brain dead people who are looking for a handout?
Cuccinelli may not have been the perfect candidate, but who really is the "perfect" candidate anyways in this day? The biggest problem is the fact that those who would think similarly to Cuccinelli would reject him for one thing or another. There are too many "single issue" voters out there that their single issue is a part of the constitution, but would reject the rest of it.
As much as I'm against compromise, because compromise has lost us more rights that it has given us freedom, there are times that we need to get together in order to get to the end. The end that we need to work towards is ending progressivism, in both the Democrat party and in the GOP. We need to crush the democrats first, then clean house or build a new one.
Set your sights where they need to be, straight on those who would destroy this country.

Moving Forward in the name of progress
It doesn't matter if you're successful of working class you're still paying for others to sit in their ass and collect that check . How is it a moral thing to take money at gunpoint from someone that's worked hard and been successful in their life just to give it to someone who isn't a success whether it's by circumstance or by choice? Some people would tell you that no one would make a choice to not be successful, but when you have government that is ready to help keep you down then it's much easier to make that kind of choice, even if you didn't know that you did make it. Capitalism will always have people who are more successful that others, in a real moral society those who aren't as successful would be motivated to do something about it. With ideas like socialized medicine (single payer) , food stamps for life, 99 weeks of unemployment, and disability for the able bodied what do you really expect?
The progressives know full well that all they need to do I'm order to stay in power is to make people think it's ok to be lazy. With almost 1/2 of America accepting a government check, they've done a pretty good of progressing this one great country to the point that they can stay in power for a long time. Unfortunately for them, handouts can only last so long before the money runs out.
