One of the joys of this time of year is black ice.
I took a tumble heading out for work this morning and landed HARD, hyper-extending my knee. I didn’t think I’d get back up, but when I did I could put full weight on the leg, so off to work.
Overall I think I’ll mend without incident, but it aches like a sonofabitch, and I think this evening I’d rather be horizontal.
We’ll see how I feel in the morning.
Just was skimming Jason Kilgore’s blog and found a new post up. Its pushing one of those touchy feely sites that seems to be big on talk, light on action, and high on hopes. I won’t bother with it, if it makes people feel better to do things like this fine, so long as they leave me and my rights alone I’m fine with that. Still when it comes to youth violence in America the problem isn’t guns, and it isn’t that kids don’t know how to express themselves these days.
Still the bigger point was Jason’s closing:
Violence is never a good option. Peace and nonviolence start with ourselves, then must first extend to our own families, then to our community. Together we can find ways toward a peaceful solution, and teach this to our children.
Violence is NEVER a good option??? NEVER? First up look who’s talking
Further its not like Mr. Kilgore or his Joyce Foundation masters seem to much care about POLICE having weapons. I thought violence was NEVER a good option?
This is the crux of their “Guns are ONLY For Killing” battle cry. They are anti-killing, even when it is legally and morally justified. Being against justifiable homicide is being against self defense. Being against self defense is being against ownership of your own life, and the lives of those you care about.
Jason has a wife and kids, and he wouldn’t defend them with violence? Hell Jason claims pro-gun people are “Bullies” and have made “threats” against him. Is he a liar?
Sorry Jason, in a very limited scope, violence is the very BEST option. Violence should be avoided at all cost, and have high bars of scrutiny, but at the gravest extremes, it is the very best option, and I will protect those options just as ferociously as I will protect my family and friends.
I don’t watch political speech because they’re never about ANYTHING, and whatever they mention have littler bearing on reality. Still Ted Nugent watched the speech:
Ted Nugent, the rock star and gun-rights advocate, stuck to his promise to remain respectful as U.S. President Barack Obama delivered the State of the Union address. But after the speech concluded, Mr. Nugent returned to form.
“You just can’t get more of a predictable flowery script,” Mr. Nugent said as reporters swarmed around. “And every time he is done speaking he either does just the opposite or nothing at all.”
Mr. Nugent was among the guests listening from the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, where he had been invited by Rep. Steve Stockman (R., Texas). Mr. Obama used his speech to call on Congress to hold votes on some key aspects of his gun-control proposal, including expanded background checks of gun buyers….“A lot of the guys in various law enforcement departments tonight said thanks for saying what we’re not allowed to say,” Mr. Nugent said. “That’s some pretty powerful encouragement — and I’m scary when I’m encouraged that much.”
Between television interviews, Mr. Nugent used a sarcastic tone to react to Mr. Obama’s speech. “I’m so excited that someone’s going to bring about world peace and save the children,” Mr. Nugent said. “I’m relieved, how about you? Are you kidding me!! And thank God he’s going to stop global warming — I was starting to get concerned.”
Well done Ted!
Authorities say a 13-year-old Houston boy has died after hitting a tree while skiing at Copper Mountain in Colorado.
The Summit County coroner says Tristan Bartlett wasn’t wearing a helmet when he struck the tree on Friday. The resort says he was on a beginner trail at the time.
Not a “Gun Death”.
Except they are
The smell of bacon was in the air Saturday as thousands converged on Iowa’s capital city for an increasingly popular festival celebrating all things connected with the meat.
Some people wore Viking hats and others walked around with makeshift snouts for the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. The annual event featured more than 10,000 pounds of bacon served in unusual ways, such as chocolate-dipped bacon and bacon-flavored cupcakes and gelato.
Awesome!
He has links to how you can best make your voice heard, and grow that list!
Good Work!
Wow, this is an older video, but I just found it. Blogger is asking for fellow “Progressives” to kill Ted Nugent, and Alan Colmes is all about defending them
And you wonder why they want us disarmed?
A woman shot dead inside the New Castle County Courthouse on Monday morning had been mired in a long child custody dispute and feared for her safety, neighbors say. Christine Belford, 39, of Newark was one of three left dead by gunfire….Belford’s neighbours were shocked to hear of her death, but they knew she had issues over alimony and other payments by David Matsuiewicz. In 2009, he was sentenced by a federal judge to four years in prison over a bizarre domestic kidnapping and fraud. It’s not known whether he had been paroled from prison.
One neighbor said he knew of Belford’s upcoming court hearing and said that Belford feared something might happen….In Middletown, where David Matsuiewciz lived with Belford when they were married. some neighbors felt something like this could happen.
“There were lots of problems in the household when they lived there,” said Tracy Campbell. “I guess he was never going to let it go and that is the sad part somebody told me today that his ex-wife had a restraining order against him.”
So we have a guy who’s the furthest thing from a law abiding citizen. The story is still new so all the details aren’t concrete, but we have felony charges with a prison sentence, we have a strong possibility of parole and domestic violence, and we have a likely protection order.
And where did the shooting take place? A “GUN FREE ZONE!”, odd how “Gun Free” they seem to be when innocent people are taking gunfire.
Also interesting to note that he was sentenced to 4 years approximately 3 years ago (since its early in 2013 I don’t know when this beast arrived in prison, but something tells me it wasn’t last January), so we have violent and dangerous criminals being let loose.
He couldn’t legally get a gun, or a carry permit. He couldn’t legally take it into a court house, and obviously he couldn’t legally shoot and murder people.
Hey, but maybe if we ban sales of magazines, or make people go to gun shops to perform background checks none of this would have happened right?
If guns were as illegal as murder, nobody would be murdered with guns, right?
