Has the man no shame at all?

One of the best marksmen in the FBI was passing through a small town. Everywhere he saw evidences of the most amazing shooting. On trees, on walls, and on fences there were numerous bull's-eyes with the bullet hole in dead center. The FBI man asked one of the townsmen if he could meet the person responsible for this wonderful marksmanship. The man turned out to be the
village idiot.

"This is the best marksmanship I have ever seen." said theFBI man. "How in the world do you do it?"

"Nothing to it," said the idiot. "I shoot first and draw the circles afterward."

That's enough horsepower to start my own reigonal railroad almost from scratch.

I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but even using those 20-30 year old locomotives is alot 'greener' than anything the trucking industry has to offer.

re: #23 Killgore Trout

They are acceptable on most some conservative circles these days.

I think it is far closer to accuracy to say some, and when it comes to Beck, I don't really consider him a conservative in the traditional model, but what he calls himself, a Libretarian...just like whacko Judge Napolitano, Luap Nor, etc.

But there is a clear problem when a Sean Hannity will spend 10-15 minutes pontificating and hosting Pat Buchanan on his radio or TV show. That is where the above statement, as modified, is correct. Far too many are willing to make deals with the devil in order to gain an ally against a foe they feel is imperative to defeat...rather than expend the effort to defeat the foe without legitimizing what they will excuse as a lessor evil.

re: #34 MrPaulRevere

Beck was ranting about how Helen Keller was a communist the other day on his radio show. The man is truly demented.

Not to legitimize Glenn "Punk" Beck, but Helen Keller was a radical socialist. She joined the socialist party in 1909 and eventually became a Wobbly. She supported many communist causes, wrote for The Crisis in the 1920s (which was a very socialist publication for the newly found NAACP) supported socialist candidate Eugene Debs in all his presidential campaigns. After the Russian Revolution, she wrote "In the East a new star is risen! With pain and anguish the old order has given birth to the new, and behold in the East a new man-child is born! Onward, comrades, all together! Onward to the campfires of Russia! Onward to the coming dawn!" She even kept a red flag over the desk in her study.

That would put coal miners out of business. Which in turn would shut down some of the smaller feeder/short haul railways servicing the coal mines. OR in the case of the larger railways (Norfolk Southern, BNSF, Canadian Pacific, etc) would drastically re-route traffic patterns, since not only are the coal mines that use their railway to transport them out of business, but the power plants that take in the 120-car coal trains would be gone as well.

Wind and solar, in addition to not really being viable would also take away traffic from the rails (hauling components for windmills or solar panels isn't viable in the long-term for them). Ethanol has been a godsend to some of the Midwestern short-haul and reigonal railways, but some of their CEOs came right out and said 'This is great for the short-term, but we don't think it will last'.

Really? Find and watch the confirmation hearings of Justice Thomas, Robert Bork, Justice Alito, John Bolton, and many other conservative nominees and let me know if the issues are subtle? Is Barney Frank subtle? Chuckie Schumer?

When it comes to McCarthy, not only are the left very wrong and working revisionist history in most cases, but they are conveniently forgetting JFK and RFK were quite the buds of McCarthy had fundamentally didn't have issues with his approaches - which the Venona dispatches largely confirmed.

Who actually worked to pass the Smith Act in 1940 and signed the executive order in 1947 which basically required a loyalty oath and banned communist party members from government jobs? It wasn't Joe McCarthy or the Republicans.

McCarthy wasn't a nice guy. But he didn't start until the Dem left starting covering up for and excusing Alger Hiss - who was a Soviet agent in 1950...he didn't have chairmanship of his committee until 1953 - and held it only until censured by a Congress that was embarrassed by the fact that there were a lot of Soviet agents infiltrated into the government.

I agree, and we all tried to let the American people know that before the election, and look where we're at.

I know Beck's been loing it, but I can't really blame him. What has tohappen for this country to wake up and realize what us lizards already see?

i blame him for choosing ratings over facts.

For the Objectivist lizards: I found this video on Peter Cresswell's blog "Not PC" (pc.blogspot.com) This is from the Tax Day Tea Party held at the Alamo. Beck interviews Penn Jillette ( from Penn & Teller ) who talks about Atlas Shrugged from about 5 minutes into the video.

In two separate incidents in my own subdivision, elderly women living alone have been raped and murdered by an apparently lone home invader and their homes burgled.

They still haven't caught the perp.

Just popping in here briefly – I can't stay for fruitcup (I wish I could, though).

I'm about 90% to 95% back to being healthy. My mom checked in with a doctor today, and he basically told her to do what I'm doing for my cold – cough drops and/or NyQuil (and 2 oz. of dark chocolate – which contains about 1,000 mg of theobromine, found to be 33% more effective than codeine in combating coughs).

I haven't had cable TV for some time, so I watched FOX News for the first time in the doctor's office while waiting for my mom to finish her checkup, and what do I hear? Glenn Beck talking about this blog and Charles!

I even remembered the post to which he referred! It also let me know I wasn't missing much from FOX News since I had cable shut off (Well, that and the reports of the craziness that gets reported here).

re: #68 teleskiguy

Not to legitimize Glenn "Punk" Beck, but Helen Keller was a radical socialist. She joined the socialist party in 1909 and eventually became a Wobbly. She supported many communist causes, wrote for The Crisis in the 1920s (which was a very socialist publication for the newly found NAACP) supported socialist candidate Eugene Debs in all his presidential campaigns. After the Russian Revolution, she wrote "In the East a new star is risen! With pain and anguish the old order has given birth to the new, and behold in the East a new man-child is born! Onward, comrades, all together! Onward to the campfires of Russia! Onward to the coming dawn!" She even kept a red flag over the desk in her study.

I hadn't heard the quote before--thanks for posting it. Apparently, radical socialism was the hip thing at the time. "In the East, a new star is risen," and "behold in the East a new man-child is born" sounds like a messianic view of Lenin!

re: #211 Iron Fist

Instead of a smelter, I suspect that you will see the G3s receiver cut per demil requirements, and the rest of the weapon imported into the US as "parts kits". It is truly offensive that gun control fanatics are destroying historical weapons in the name of their myopic faith in disarmament as a path to "crime reduction". It is really little different than when the Taliban destroyed the Binyamin Buddhas, especially when you look at all of the beautiful, historic WWII armament that has just been cut up for parts kits (or worse - outright scrapped).

And they played by the law, by the rules, for 3 years after their legally-elected Prime Minister was overthrown by bloodless coup...

and in a kleptocracy, election 'winners' get the spoils, the cabinet officers, the levers of power... so the RedShirts obeyed the law and worked diligently and GOT THEIR PARTY elected last spring, in a solid majority...

which was never really allowed to assume leadership, because of the Yellow-Dogs yapping and occupying the main govt building... with YellShirt symps protecting them from inside the 'government'...

and then the YS/airport-debacle in December, the consequent tanking to the Thai economy, the personal loss and hardship to MILLIONS of MIDDLECLASS, and this week the ship hit the fan!

I have an increasing bear problem at the lake and my .22 just doesn't give me much comfort.
I have been told to get a plug-firing shotgun or a large bore hunting rifle.
Suggestions?

with the rifle you get stand off capeability, but you'll also be second guessed as to "did you need to shoot them", whereas with the shot gun, if they're in range, you're in danger. a reliable large bore pistol is just good insurance.

personally, i'd get all 3. %-)

come to think of it, an M1 Garand would be a great choice, 8 rounds of 30.06 with hunting bullets should do it.

Full autm M-2s (if you can find them) are insanely expensive. I mean, in the $40,000 range, maybe more than that now. But you can get a semi-auto M2 for less than $10,000. We had one sell on the market here last summer. The gun, tripod, a whole lot of other shit, including a couple of thousand rounds of ammo for a cool $24,000. Surprisingly, it didn't stay on the market long at all. That was a surprise. I mean, that's a really good price, but it is still twenty-four thousand dollars.

It's getting my class-envy all stoked up :-)

guess i'll have to settle for a Barrett then... or something like one.

re: #251 rhino2

Just wondering... I for one am rather tired of the topic but there exists now quite a few videos online and some are worth a closer look.

i had a nice time at the one i attended, and the only "wackiness" was the Laup Nor contingent and a few strays... my 6 wants to know when the next one is.

re: #237 Iron Fist

Did you get one of the little Microtecs? Those are interesting. I think they make a version in 6.8. That would be too cool. I've never much liked the AUG platform, more from an asthetics point than anything functional about the weapon. If I had the money...

Yeah, I got the little one. I can convert it to 6.8 if I want to. It's a blast to shoot out on the range. I'm dialing it in at 35 yards, I have a bushnell halo scope on it. I got it for self defense, I really like the quick aquisition the scope gives me.

re: #246 Iron Fist

Check this shit out: .458 Garand. Pricey, but how cool is that?

2500 plus a perfectly good rifle... i wonder if CMP has any left?
