    Obama's Half-Truths

    if you only listen to what either canidate say about the opposition you are going to hear lots of half truths and distortions. i guess thats why so many are dis-enchanted with the whole process. there are also too many who won't take the time to listen, much less read what they say. too many...

    What would YOU do?

    in a way requiring jut a yes or no answer on this is unfair. many complex issues involved, many things need to be defined. maybe why this is a hotly debated subject. direct answer : if 'its' alive outside the womb its not a fetus but a baby. to not provide life support is wrong...

    Commander In Chief Obama

    what he didn't say but should have is 'if i don't have to support the mlitary i have more money to spend on social welfare programs.' he has no intention of spending less, just wants to spend it on other things. it seems that 'politicians' with no military experence seem to always know what is...

    What do you expect?

    i hate to say it but walter reed has been saddly lacking for a long time. i remember going there in the early 70''s and was shocked at the conditions. but the military has always been 'just getting by' due to lack of funding. its amazing how much is done by so many with little in the way of...

    Political Dynasties In America

    its the money. you need lots of it, or access to it. so 'family' helps. unless a way to remove money from politics is found (and don't forget politics is about controlling money in this country) then 'familys' in the business of politics will exist, and if they are lucky prosper for another...

    shoot to kill

    i don't think he was recommending a 22 to hunt cats with, but as a 'starter' gun to learn how to shoot properly. as far as the 223, i wouldn't want to go after a dangerous animal with such a puny round. no stopping power. based on the stated intent of home and yard protection, which means...

    life in the barnyard

    It's My Day on the Soap Box

    i can agree things would be nice if life was less complicated. when enough people get togrther who are willing to pay for better service, then somebody will offer it. until then we get what we pay for... ... cheap "affordable" rates = cheap service. on another note, this year for the first...

    shoot to kill

    heck at 100 yards i got a ruger sa45 with scope that would work nice. for anything at 50 yard or less i have one without a scope. heck with my eyes nowdays anything beyond a hundred yards might as well be invisable. ... ... the m16 was never intended for ranges beyond 300 yards for anything...

    Call me paranoid if you like

    as i live a ways out of town, and hopefully any riot would be confined to the cities, hopefully things won't escalate to be a problem. as a historical note on the personal side.. arrived in compton ca for visit with relatives the day the riots started. remember lots of pickups with men in the...

    Me a racist?

    but when you have organizations like the aclu trying to get rid of the pledge of allegence in schools, and winning in court you must admit there is a dedicated policy to destroy our nation. i'm suprised our currency still works since it still has 'in god we trust'. but we must not allow 'god'...

    Petty differences

    as always i'm confused. we start with a nice anti green message, go imediately to a bad guys want to rule the world, switch to iraq is the only topic that matters, bring in some deadly bananas, and throw around a oil price control missive just makes sure i'll stay confused. maybe this needs to...

    Just a really nice guy

    i take exception to your 'his god (and NRA) given right' the right is to be able to own and therefore be able to use firearms/ the unsaid portion is responsibly. neither god or the nra condone 'blasting away' at anybody. in theory use for self defense is allowed, but in many parts of the...

    jail as it should be

    state rights have been tromped on by the feds for years, and fed 'law enforcement officers' have so many 'ooops' concerning individual 'rights' it often makes one wonder. yes federal law trumps state law. but when which laws are going to be enforced becomes a 'crap-shoot' it leaves everybody...

    jail as it should be

    i don't think anybody with more awareness than a sea sponge thinks a capital trial is simple. you're right about 'closed profession'. many think the only problem with lawyers is we allow them to live. maybe the early pilgram settlements had a good idea when they banned lawyers. sorry to...

    Air Force Clean-up

    hummmm... if outdated codes on hand, new codes with the relief,,, maybe that particular location was out of service. probably will never get the whole story. something just seems fishy about the outdated code. having worked in more than one 24/7 operation in buildings with no windows i have...

    jail as it should be

    i would allow other 'science' based evidence to also be accepted. ie: video or film that can be verified. example: i decide i don't like the way you part your hair. i pull out my trusty revolver and shoot you from 25 yards away. i then get in my vehicle and drive away. since i never...

    Air Force Clean-up

    yep sounds like another fubar by the military. now i'm not clear based on what was stated above, were these guys in a missle silo? or just on a base? yes sleeping on duty deserves to be noted, punished appropriately, and forgotten. i'm more upset with the idea the codes were outdated. this...

    Big Oil

    i have too agree. if the author mis-identifies himself any 'facts' presented become suspect. i guess because so many people would like it to be true they overlook the deception. without independant verification all 'facts' should be considered fiction.
