He just needs to be happy they didn't burn the place down with him inside.

Many of our customs come from defensive tactics dating back before firearms. For instance, escorting the lady who is holding onto your left arm was to leave the strong hand side free to suddenly draw your sword without her blocking your movement. Passing oncomers to your right side was so you could easily draw and defend without the risk of blocking from the attacker. It was common practice that became a custom it was so frequent. Man kills with whatever gets the job done.

From experience, the VA cannot be fixed in it's current form.  In the private space, we sometimes find incompetence.  We sometimes find indifference.  We don't usually find both at the same time.  I would argue that this is the primary difference between the public space and private space in 2013.  Within the government, it doesn't really matter if you don't know what you're doing and you don't care.  Payday still comes on Friday.   If we're going to make meaningful change within the VA, we're going to have to tear it down and start over - whether metaphorically or literally.

The libs think legal guns are illegal and illegal aliens are legal.  Talk about having your wires crossed!

On Fox News live...Gun violence.  Of course, it's still the gun's fault.  No blame for the person holding the gun.   In my mind violence is violence.  The gun is just a tool.  How can people believe there would be no violence if there were no guns.  The world was a violent place before guns existed.  Violence is historically part of human behavior.  Just to hear Obama say the words "gun violence" irritates me.  OK, just to hear his voice irritates me.  Blame and finger pointing is his way of communicating.  Redirecting responsibility.  Except for killing Osama.  You'd think he did that all by himself.   I'm sure all of this has been said here before but seeing him spewing his bs on TV just got my blood boiling.  Rant off.  I'm better now.  

I like Palin, I don't care what anyone else thinks of her. I've watched enough of her interviews, debates & speeches to have an educated opnion on the woman's intelligence, convictions & beliefs and while she was being completely and unfairly ripped apart in the media she still stood her ground and simply said "bring it on!" I liked that, I liked that a lot, most folks would have cowered from that sort of onslaught, especially when they started going after her kids & family. Never in my life have I seen such a ruthless wide spread media campaign designed with the sole purpose to destroy a person/politician, but Sara Palin did not even flinch, that woman is one heck of a lady, one heck of a Patriot, and I for one am proud to be able to call her a fellow American.

The VA sucked when my dad was a young mangled Marine. It sucked when I returned from Desert Storm, and it sucked a few years ago when I walked out of its doors and swore to never go back. It's criminal how they treat veterans. It's criminal how this country treats its veterans. I agree that its a political problem, as both parties are the same in my eyes. The very people that happily vote to send young people off to war turn a blind eye to the small percentage of Americans who actually volunteer to serve this country. This VA problem is one of the reasons why I hate foreign aid. This country will send billions of dollars in aid to other countries while denying benefits to veterans with war related issues. Its a f*^%#ing shame!

I have no problem with Facebook, but then I never see the ads.  FIrefox + Adblock Plus = a much more pleasant browsing experience in general.

This show makes me happy, happy, happy. Is it me, or is this one of the best tv shows on tv now adays. I just discovered this show a few months ago on A&E, and all I can say is everyone is happy, happy, happy. That is some of the best commedy I have seen in awhile that I can relate to. Its great for the family too, no cursing, full of laughs, helpful quotes, and always ends with a dinner prayer. I use to only watch NCIS each week, but now I have to watch equally NCIS and Duck Dynasty. Got to love Si, especially the Christmas episode the other night and his comments as an elf to the kids. That was way too funny. I think I may grow me one of those bushy beards, hope my employer does not mind. Do you watch? http://[img]http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae114/runco0318/imagesCAR4TW26.jpg[/img]

Well...  The SCOTUS is currently hearing oral arguments on DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).  I have made opinion known on same sex marriage in numerous other threads.  I think the government (federal and state) should get out and stay out of the marriage business.  We should have civil unions for everyone, straight and gay.   My intent was not to create another thread on gay marriage.  We have had plenty of those, and nobody ever convinces each other that their viewpoint is correct.  The reason I posted the thread is because this country is going to $hit, that little fat bastard in NK is on the verge of starting another war, and McCain and Graham keep pushing us to go into Syria, and what is everyone so focused on? ****ing gay marriage.  Is this akin to playing the fiddle while Rome burns?     (edit) - took care of my pejoratives :)

As long as people buy ammo from walmart and others at normal prices and can resell them for twice to three times the price, this will continue.

  Yes, they can and are.

I fixed it for you.

You forgot referring to naysayers as sheep.

Your meme is simply inaccurate. Critical thinking means you question "reality" and apply objective logic to uncover evidence through some degree of scientific discovery in an effort to confirm or refute what you or another presents as "truth." Conspiracy theorists do not examine circumstances objectively or seek accurate evidence. They are quite the opposite. They approach every circumstance with a preconceived view of reality and categorically select bits of information that fit their preconstructed narrative. Where information is absent, they replace it with speculation, which is again specifically drawn from their preexisting worldview. In the face of irrefutable evidence showing they are mistaken, they simply retort with more conjecture and/or proclaims that the evidence is fabricated, thus providing further "evidence" of their conspiracy. Take the original video in this thread. What piece of information would be sufficient to convince the filmmaker that those vehicles are not part of some vast government conspiracy? What piece of evidence would convince the 9/11 "truthers" that the attacks were not carried out by the US government? That type of skepticism is not an exercise in critical thinking.

What the media did to Palin was criminal. They slandered and vilified her at every turn with no proof whatsoever. They did to her what they always do to those they fear - they painted her as an idiot. There are people who STILL believe that she actually said that you can see Russia from Alaska. I'd put her up against the MORON who currently holds the title of VP any day of fhe week, even though that's not saying much.

Obama's a horse's ass, plain & simple!

Although this is going back quite a few years, I used to be good friends with the director of the VA hospital in Seattle.  I don't say this just because he was a friend (now passed on) but he was an extremely dedicated man and truly sought to do the best he and that hospital possibley could for the veterans who came there for care. However, he often related to me just how discouraged he was with their funding, burauracy and the level of care he was able to provide.   What is wrong with the VA has a lot more to do with systemic problems than anything else and I'm doubtful it can be fixed with the way it exists today...I think the only answer is to start over with a clean slate.   What is most sad is that we are failing many of our veterans TODAY and I see little hope that will change anytime soon even if they started trying to fix it today.  It's a badge of shame for our country that we have allowed this to happen for decades.

This isn't exactly news. VA has historically sucked! Personally, I've been waiting over 2 years. VA claims are handled just like Social Security disability claims: deny them outright hoping that the claimant will drop it, and if not then they delay it as long as possible forcing the claimant to get lawyers involved. The whole system is shameful.

i bought 30,000 rounds of that last week in kansas city to be delivered to tulsa next week much cheaper

no that is not how it works in all the contract buys i have ever been in there is an out for the wholesaler.you are more than welcome to spend a day or 2 with me to see how it works

Put CTD at the top of that list!

Unfortunately FB is the easiest way for me to keep in contact with family & friends, else I'd also have deleted it out of disgust for some of the ultra-assinine liberal spew that is constantly posted on there. And don't get me started on all of the inspirational quote posters people seem to spam constantly .... GGRRRRR

  Dang UncleJak....her picture is beside the word HOT in the dictionary!!!  Well.....MY dictionary anyways.... :angel:

I know that she was vetted, well actually picked down to the bone, by the media enough for 5 presidents, The liberals were THAT scared of her.....yet Obama was not vetted at all by the same group. Instead he was shielded and all skeletons were buried where they remain until this day.

Bang whatever you like. Just don't be offended by my response when you ask me if I agree with you.

 The Pope and Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards President Obama and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!" Obama replied, "I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand?....Show me!" So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage! AND THE CROWD ROARED & CHEERED WILDLY and there was happiness throughout the land!  

I submit that if anyone ever wants to see conservatives in charge of this country again they'll let this one go.  Homos getting married effects no one.   The Repbulican party is teetering on the brink of irrelevance and the last I checked they where the represetatives of conservatives.  If they keep on fighting against people's "pursuit of happiness" then don't be surprised if the Dems take the White House again in 2016, and everything else.

Or, I may play around with posting the scores to the new IDPA website.

        I hereby move that all naked chameleon shape shifters be required to take the form of Kate Upton.  :dirty:

  I see no trend beyond the growing "progressive" one myself.   - OS

Good thing this wasn't a Walmart parking lot

  Doubt it that's true any more, and if it is, it won't be for long. But if we have to depend on the majority opinion for constitutional issues, all is lost anyway.   As far as guns, an example: we certainly wouldn't be legally carrying heaters if it were up to majority vote nationally. Actually rather doubt we would if it were up to majority vote just in TN.   - OS

I was just getting interested...then just at 2:00 I got hit with the "This video is currently unavailable"   Was it that bad?

Did anyone else get the FB advertisement for black theology? For those of you who don't know what black theology is it is essentially a new name for the tired old "black power, hate whitey, we are still being oppressed" nonsense that folks like Rev. Wright spew from the pulpit under the guise of religious teachings. Personally I'm appalled that FB would promote this crap, but hey I guess racism is ok, so long as it isn't white folks who are the ones being racist.

Countdown... 3 years, 298 days  :(

It doesn't matter which conservative canidate is picked, the media is going to attempt to destroy them regardless, at least Palin has already walked through that "trial by fire" and has proven to me at least that she won't back down under pressure. Rand Paul is also a great choice but they'll do to him what they did to her & every other conservative that dares to seek the office of POTUS. He'll be mocked & ridiculed, attacked & maligned until the low-information voters either laughs them off or out-right "hates" him too.

My best friend works there, and he tells me about how his work ethic makes others' pale in comparison, and doesn't win him any friends. It's a shame, really.

Remove: wood dowel and give it a tap.

Your hunting licesne and WMA permit basicaly serve as a permission slip. And it's already been stated that a permit is needed to assist another hunter.   Dave S

  You may not want to go there lol.   The world would probably be better off due to the decreased population.  90% of our problems stem from overpopulation and specifically the massive, multimillion person ghettos like NYC, LA, etc. 

  Most people that work at Comcast are idiots.   I prefer to keep them separate. Usually it will cost less. Want to upgrade your home WiFi to the new standard? Buy the router. Want to upgrade to new DOCSIS standard? Buy a new modem.   I use an Asus RT-N66u router and Motorola SB6141 cable modem. The Asus AC unit came out just a couple months after I bought the N66u. Don't have any AC WiFi cards at the moment anyway.

  I see this a lot.  I use FB daily and do not have this problem, people that post crap I don't want to see on a regular basis get deleted or I take them out of my feed.  I have nearly 1000 FB friends and simply do not have this problem.  If I could keep all of the inspirational crap out of my email, now that would make me a happy man.

If Alex Jones was to report that the sky was blue, I would feel obligated to go outside and verify for myself before accepting it as truth.

I think you may be on to something here. FEMA is going to round us all up and sell everyone to the circus! :panic: Actually, you guys are silly and you've got it all wrong. The Illuminati are working through the UN using micro-sized black helicopters to control your mind. It's a complex plan, but here is a flowchart to help it make sense: As you can see, they are disseminating these microscopic black helicopters through aircraft chemtrails, vaccinations, and genetically modified foods (See? NaturalNews.com is on to something here!) Don't believe it? Silly sheep. Here is an actual x-ray photo taken from the internet to prove this is going on! Why would this be going on? What's the point? Why would some person do this? The answer is simple. People aren't behind this. It's really the humanoid lizards who are calling the shots. Unfortunately, most of you sheeple are blind to the truth. However, I will try to open your minds: And here is an ACTUAL artist's portrayal of these humanoid lizards: If you are open to the truth you can learn more here: http://truthism.com

When I 1st saw it, I thought "this is the dumbest show ever". I still think it is the dumbest show ever, but I am hooked. Don't let the beards fool you, they are geniuses.

We are completely addicted. Phil inspires me to be a better husband and father. I love that my wife, duaghter and myself can all sit down and enjoy a show with no worries of any of us being embarrassed but what comes out. That being said I do believe the show is made up somewhat of re-enactments of previous envents in thier lives. Si when the guys went for snow cones=" I got a brain sneeze," "It's a brain sneeze, that's when your brain needs to sneeze, but hey, it's a brain, it cain't sneeze so it just hurts'"
