Hold my beer and watch this!

Absolutely disgusting. On the other hand, Woods and Doherty disobeyed direct orders and went in knowing there was not going to be any backup coming. These two men are the epitome of American Excellence

I don't need one. I get most of my fantasy in the political threads.

Hello Clarice

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you From the movie Taken

Bush's fault!

What happened to the "dislike" button? I didn't care for Jimmy Carter, I didn't care for Bill Clinton... but I have absolutely NO doubt that they loved America. Same for Mitt Romney. Now Obama on the other hand, I am convinced by his words and actions that he hates America...with a vengeance. He thinks like an America-hating outsider. That may tell us something.

If you peel away the first layer of this comical fiction, you'll find something twice as disturbing. Which frightens you more: The incompetence of this administration or the sheer raw stupidity of the Amerikan people who elected them?

I don't know about "now", I think they've been back-stabbing our men and women in uniform since day 1. They've always had a disdain for those who serve and have called them names like the dregs of society and other such nonsense. Anyone who speaks against those who serve has earned MY disdain.

uhh no, It's going to be either Romney or Obama.

I didn't mean to imply that the faults belong only to Fox news, all that I mentioned as well as others (Levin, Hanity, Valentine) have faults.I think Fox is the only network that tries to be what all the new networks used to try and be 30 or 40 years ago but the networks weren't perfect then nor is Fox perfect now.

Anyone see the similarities between 1860 and today? Northern aggression, a government out of control, a Nanney state, population control, government mistrust? As a nation we have become divided between two camps. Those that want the government to provide for their every need (wealth redistribution), and those that want to keep and earn what they have.

God bless Texas.

Thanks Dolomite... like I said, it's not a problem. Just as long as I can post and aggravate people like Caster, I'll be fine. Ha!

An animal should not be shot with ANYTHING that cannot humanely kill it. It should not matter what the animal is or whether it is wild or not. I understand killing animals that must be killed but if it must be done it must be as humane as possible. Dolomite

We just got these packs of gum in at the store where I work, and I found them to be pretty funny.

This was in a email I received and thought it was worth posting here. Dolomite

Seems I keep hearing about a guy in a big white house somewhere that must not be happy either, wants to change his country too!! take from some of his country men and pass it around to the rest

Just ordered a pistol from the folks over at Joeboboutfitters and thought I'd give them a shout out for their awesome service and super fast responses to my questions. Seriously, after having dealt with many people out there and been through numerous customer support systems I can honestly tell you that Joeboboutfitters has been the fastest and best to deal with IMHO. I thought maybe we could use this thread for others to praise our TGO vendors and thank them for their great work.

I agree with all the laws in the link and haven't broken any of them. No where on your link does it refer to animals that are obviously abandoned or strays. In my opinion strays fall into the category of feral or nuisance animals. Coyotes, a cousin to a dog is considered a nuisance animal, and there is a year round open season on them. What's the difference in a coyote or stray dogs, they will both form packs, breed, and kill livestock, pets and wild game species like deer. In my opinion there is no difference.

you have to pass it to find out what's in it. [Pelosi]

I've never, ever, ever, seen a deal in a pawn shop.

Anyone watching? Pretty good game last night. The Giants pitching is just dominant, four runs given up in the last five games. But Doug Fister of the Tigers is my new hero. He takes a line drive off the head, and it looked absolutely frightening, but he stays in the game and retires 12 in a row after that, ends up pitching six innings of one-run ball. It looked awful when he was hit, but I guess it wasn't that bad. Hope he doesn't suffer any after effects. On the mound the trainer was asking him, "What city are you in?," "What game is it?" Tim McCarver needs to just go away. He said pitchers should wear helmets now, like the batters. If you're going to do that, might as well not even call it baseball. They've already emasculated the game enough, with pitchers not being allowed to throw inside anymore. I understand safety, but at some point you have to say enough is enough. There's a certain risk you just have to accept. If you don't like it, don't play the game. So is anyone watching? Anyone care? I still think Detroit can get back in this series.

Naw, them cherries done already been popped.

This pretty much describes our Bumbler-In-Chief very well

I did some checking. Our two "election obersevers" in Nashville are from France and Armenia. That's rich!It's a sad day when we have someone "checking" our polls, and yet the elections in Venezuela are called the "freest and fairest elections in the world." Seriously. Some folks need to check the chemical content of their breakfast cereal.

What sickens me is that from the sound of these report there were "assets" in the area that were willing to go help and told not to go because,"there was not enough information to send them". That is BS. When someone gives his life voluntarily to save another that is the ultimate sacrifice and sign of true bravery. To put it simply, if your best friend is taking an undeserved whooping are you going to stand and watch because your are not sure if you can take the guy. I don't think so. That is not how I was raised. You back your brothers in arms. This is sickening. JTM Sent from my iPhone

The U.N. needs to GTFO of America. They have no jurisdiction to be here. Now if they want to report as media on something, fine.

and the left swinging media = silence what a joke ... time for OBummer to step down

Well this should be intresting

Expect even worse this time. An interesting article - 'Flipping the White House' goes inside complex process of transitioning from one President to the next Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/10/26/flipping-white-house-goes-inside-complex-process-transitioning-from-one/?intcmp=features#ixzz2AQAkYHdP As I recall, traditionally the incoming President and spouse are supposed to have a little meet & greet and tea with the exiting President and spouse, however 0bama declined to do so. Not his first, but one of many of his breaks with Presdential tradition. The first I believe was his use of a made up "seal" of the President Elect for use on his podium during press conferences prior to his inauguration. The hubris...the pomposity...the narcissism... It was funny the day that he was giving a speech and it fell off of the podium. I'm sure he had someone executed for embarrassing him when that happened.

I can which is sad. Our nation desperately needs news organizations that are willing to put bias aside (as much as in humanly possible) and actually REPORT the NEWS and will follow the truth no matter where it leads...we need that regardless of what party is in power or who is in the White House and for many years now, we just don't have that. Say what you want about "personalities" but if not for the likes of Beck and Limbaugh and Fox News (even with all their faults), we would have lost this republic a long time ago. What Obama did (or more to the point, didn't do) with regards to our Ambassador and the brave men who died trying to help fellow Americans should have Obama in front of firing squad rather than having a chance at re-election.

Let's be honest; we (our entire country) would probably be far better off if there were no such thing as television; at least as an entertainment device. It reminds me of a quote from the Arnold Schwarzeneggar movie The Running Man...The game show host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson's character) said... Don't get me wrong, there are shows I love to watch (or have loved to watch) and I know that TV can do good things (inform, educate, enlighten, etc.) but on the whole, I think we would all be better people if we turned off the TV a lot more than we do and read a books a lot more often than we do...there is a reason why the most successful people in life tend to be readers! As Thomas Jefferson said (and this is hanging in my library)..."I cannot live without books".

Let us know if there is anything you guys need. And if you feel like talking feel free to call me or my wife. I enjoy talking about guns so if that will help Robert forget about life for a while I welcome the conversation. Dolomite

It is not bravado. If someone is on my property, without a reason or authority to be here, they will be met with an overwhelming amount of force to remove them from my property. Then they will find themselves being arrested. I can escalate to whatever means I feel is needed, up to but not including deadly force, to remove a trespasser from my property. It is also my choice how much force is needed, I ask them to leave and if they refuse I can continue to ask or I can grab them and physically remove them. And if they resist in any way they might find themselves going to the hospital enroute the jail. And I will be in the right if I do. I do not have to call the cops and wait for them to remove someone. If someone is on my property, without the authority to be there, and they use a firearm or other weapon to kill my dog they will be shot. And if they survive they will be arrested. I don't care if my dog is chewing their throat out they have NO right to protect themselves if they are on my property illegally. I can also dictate what guests use to protect themselves while on my property. If a person is a guest or here legally and my dog attacks the guest can stop that attack using any means they want. These rules also apply to my cats. Dolomite

The name 3squared was taken I guess?

I've always felt it best to vote while conscious, too. Barackites don't, though. - OS

And he truly is a great guy to do business with. He is one of the most honest people I have ever met. He is also very knowledgeable guy that is will to share it with anyone who asks. He is a veteran as well. He has the lowest prices and largest selection of anyone at the shows. He also gets items you will never see another dealer carry. When was the last time you seen a dealer with 500 S&W brass in bulk? Or 300 Blackout brass that is properly annealed for less than most other sell 223 brass for? To give you an idea of how nice of a guy he is. Every single show, that I have been there to witness, he has given a gun to the parents of a young shooter. Generally it goes to the parent who has a kid that is roughly 10. He realizes that it is the kids who are going to keep the shooting sports around for us in the long run. Dolomite

"king me"

No dog, or any other animal for that matter, should be shot with the intention of not killing them. Using a BB gun falls into that category. It is cruel and should not be done for any reason. Had my son been using a BB gun to shoot dogs with he would have been in some very serious trouble. Dolomite

But with the previous "close" elections they have used the absentee ballots to sway the vote. I seem to recall it happening in past elections. Dolomite

Ok, just to clarify, I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat... but you can kinda understand where people like this are coming from.... Our President has already made himself a dictator who is willing to throw the law out the window when it suits him... Here are a couple examples: 1. Executive order amnesty for illegal immigrants - aka Dream act light 2. Letter telling businesses to disregard the WARN Act, even though it and the budget cuts are the law of the land. 3. Issuing kill orders on American citizens Now just how crazy does somebody have to be to think the current President might do whatever it takes to stay in power? I don't think Obama is going to suspend the elections, or run everybody into FEMA camps... but I can see how somebody who is of sound mind might be worried about the length this president is willing to go to stay in power. Clearly after Libya, flat out lying to the American public isn't a line to far.

Just ridiculous. This case should be thrown out now. Heck it shouldn't have even been admitted!

I swear, some people amaze me. I cannot tell you how disgusted I have been over the past several months of this election cycle over a lot of the comments I have read here, and the treatment of those who are not Romney-bots. I think it has been pretty shameful, but I guess TGO has more than its share of curmudgeons and/or partisan hacks. In this case, we have the editorial section of paper give it's endorsement to a viable candidate who will be on the ballot in all 50 states. Their reasoning: It may not be what some want to read, but CTFP's reasoning seems pretty sound to me. I don't really see how that can't be considered an intelligent reason, nor do I see how it is a stupid gesture. I have said this many times in the past, but I will reiterate it here. I believe that people should vote for who they think is the best candidate, and that includes, even though it makes me gag to say it, those who will vote for Obama. Just so you'll know, I am fully aware of what I stand to lose if Obama wins reelection.

The guy asks me not to and made it worth my while.

Personally; I'm not going to shoot a dog or a person unless I really feel it's necessary but I will shoot either if I believe it is necessary. As you can probably tell from my avatar, my hound is pretty important to me and as foolish as it sounds I'd probably sacrifice myself to save her (and I believe she would do the same for me) so if a dog comes charging at "us" and it's a big enough dog to do real damage to me or my hound then I'm probably going to dispatch the attacker and deal with the consequences later. However, discharging a firearm in that situation may not only be unwise bit not the best course of action. First of all, if it were me I'd be in my neighborhood where a stray shot could cause a lot of problems. Second, unless I can react quickly enough and given how quickly fighting dogs move around; with shooting I run the very real risk of hitting my dog either instead of or along with the one attacking. All that to say, when I used to bicycle 200-300 miles per week I carried dog repellent..and I can tell you from experience that it was effective on many different breeds; even once, thank God, a doberman...I even used it once on a human and it was pretty effective for that as well...to this day, I carry spray with me and especially when out with my dog and that's probably what I'm going to go to first because it's likely to work and doesn't kill either the attacking dog or, more importantly, my own. I guess in general, I like having a non-lethal option.

It is the responsibility of the dog owner to make sure their dogs are contained to their property… period. And if the dog is off their property and ends up dead; it’s their fault. I’m a dog lover and I would never kill a dog because he came running up to me, or because a neighbor lets their dog get out. However if a dog was attacking me I have no qualms about killing it. I would probably wait long enough that if I judged its intentions wrong I would get bit before I killed it. However; the owner of the dog is going to pay dearly if I get bit on property I have a right to be on.

I told Corker 3 years ago that he wasn't fit to be a Senator and I wouldn't vote for him again. This week I voted for his democrat opponent and then emailed Corker and reminded him. Love it when a plan comes together.

I usually go vote at lunch on election day. I'm normally the only person at the poll at that time.
