It is sad to hear radio personalities use the " I am going to be honest with you" I want to say well it's about time. Here in the Tri-cities there is a local guy that says that 4 or 5 times an hour. Another one is the weather forecasters saying " it is going to be 10 below zero today so dress extra warm or 100 percent chance of rain so grab that umbrella". Well da! I imagine some guy getting ready to go out the door and hearing that with a tee shirt and shorts on and thinking that's a good idea I better change. And while we are on this. Ever been to a restaurant and while you are waiting for your food you drink all your tea and the waitress comes along and says " can I get you a refill?" I want to say no I plan on eating my meal and sitting here without drinking anything else.

"Literally" Way over used. "I literally just got here. " to be honest with you.

I own a barter exchange in east TN. Business has been and is very good. I do see a lot of businesses going out of business or running very tight on money. That is why the service we provide is doing so well. Things can get so bad that people cannot afford to barter but that has not happened yet.

I would like to know if these was a normal search. If this is how they did all of the searches there should be some lawsuits that follow. The cops may have had a reason to believe this house was hiding the perp. or had creditable evidence that he was hiding on the property or in the house. I hope this is the case. I really hope this is not how all the home owners were treated.

  I don’t know about that. I am not sure what happened with this is “usual” I cannot remember an event like this with the manpower used that failed completely only to have a citizen find the guy. Maybe it’s out there but I cannot remember one. (Of course my memory is not what it used to be)

If they want to ask me about my house fine. I can help them speed up the search by not needlessly spending time in my house.  Keep in mind all those searches did not turn up the suspect.  An aware citizen that was finally allowed to go outside their house found him. 

What if they wanted to collect all your weapons so the terrorist could not get his hands on them and become more of a threat?  After all we have a responsibility to our fellow man to not allow your weapons to fall in the wrong hands.  I mean he could get into someone’s house and hold the family hostage to get them to open their safe. Would it not be better to let LE secure them? I am curtain you would get them back. After all a child was killed here people.   I do not think we take this "rights thing" to far.  If anything we are giving them up way to fast.

What seems odd to me is that they brought in every available resource and nothing they did caught the guy. It was an aware citizen that found him. The police said at a press conference after the standoff ended that.     “Tsarnaev had escaped their manhunt and hid himself in the boat just one block outside of the perimeter they were searching.”     As soon as the police lifted the restriction allowing people to go outside someone found this guy. I guess you could say the best thing they did to catch this guy was to allow people to leave their houses.

Without a search warrant the answer is NO, regardless of the circumstances without a warrant the answer is NO.

I try to practice Road Relax, I drive a lot and I refuse to let what others do get under my skin. We choose what we let offend us. I try to be someone that is very hard to offend. Life is to short. When driving on a 4 lane I will move over from the left lane if I see someone coming up driving faster than I am. On a 2 lane if I cannot get out of the way and they are dangerously close I may hit my left turn signal and that will back them off, still if not no big deal. I have been in a car where the driver hit his brakes and the car behind us hit us. The driver of the car I was in was ticketed for causing the accident. Things happen! I have made mistakes behind the wheel so I do not get to excited when others do. I do get amused by others flipping someone off, like that is supposed to hurt or something. I want to hold up my hands a say please no not the finger it just hurts to much. Keep in mind you never know what the other person is going through. Maybe they have a good reason to be upset or in a hurry.

      I have also seen those people get busted for selling drugs or working for cash only. Their is a huge underground network out there.  I have also seen those people that claim to need help work the system so they buy what they want with the money coming in and then asking for help with food or the electric bill.  I used to attend a church that was listed early in the phone book and almost weekly we got calls from people that needed "help".  We never gave out money so if they needed food we would meet them at the grocery store or offer to go pay on their electric bill.  75% of the time when they relized we were not going to give them money they would just leave or not show up for the groceries.  If it is easy take advantage of the system people will do it, if it is hard, less people will do it.  The feds cannot govern this it must be done locally out side of the governments controls so those really needing help get it and those wanting to take advantage of the system get found out.

I thought because we elected O that everybody was going to suddenly love us.

Looks fine.

Part of the appeal of Palin for me was how much the media and the left hated her. If they hated her that much she must be good. How much time did they spend on how much money she spent on clothes?  If they had spent twenty five percent of that on the current administration they probably would not have gotten elected. Day after day blowing one thing out of proportion after another. My mom mentioned how she hated "that woman she should be home taking care of her kids”. I said that’s funny I do not remember you staying home to take care of your kids. Needless to say we do not talk about politics much any more   I'll take Palin over any Dem and most Repubs any day.

I think the latest term is "low information voter". Seems to describe a large part of the electorate these days. This may be a last ditch effort on my part to think that many people are not a stupid as their votes seem to indicate. I guess I am clinging to the hope that if many people really paid attention they would vote differently. I can see where these shows could influence the uniformed that all AR’s are automatic weapons and that there are lots of automatic handguns out there (as I have heard them called recently)

Chris Kyle did not start these wars. He was there because of his love for his country. Debating the merits of the wars is one thing but those that serve and have served are not the problem. Ron should have tipped his hat for a great American instead of trying to make a political point. Protecting Americas interest is a global job. Never in our history has what is happening in other parts of the world had as much affect on the U.S. as it does now. Commerce is world wide now more than ever. One could argue to much, but the facts are protecting our interest no longer and probably never will stop at our borders again. We can debate why this is and try reverse some of the need to do business with other countries but we are a long way from that happening.

I have not seen this mentioned here.  Just wondering what the Ron Paul fans thought of his comments on twitter about Chris Kyle.     Ron Paul✔@RonPaul Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense

Thanks for the "thoughtful" responses. I was just wondering if others had, I did not say I was planning on shooting with out my ears on. When I go to the indoor range I use double protection because it is so loud. It is a shock even with ears on.

Do any of you practice with out hearing protection on? I guess I am thinking in a bad citation I probably will not have time to gear up. (Middle of the night glass breaking) Will the shock of hearing a gun going off without ears on be disconcerting? I know I try to practice as close to the real thing as possible but have never practice to see what live fire would sound like.
