[quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1352157006' post='839597'] What has happened is that it was given out to some, those who really needed it. And it slowly went from the poor needy people who are actually in need to those who don't need it but just want it and are willing to lie to get it. It is the entitlement generation that believes they are entitled to the prosperity of those who worked hard before them. I have actually heard one of them say that someone else worked really hard so they didn't have to. There are several things that need to be done to weed out the fat. First, require them to take a drug test when they apply and then at least once annually. If you are so poor you need public money then the public has a right to ensure that money is not supporting illegal activities. 1st offense you lose the funds for one month. Next time is six months. A third time would remove you from the rolls indefinitely. Second, they need to require them to perform some sort of public service. I know our highways could use a good cleaning of litter. Paint or clean up buildings or empty lots in their neighborhoods. Or maybe answer the phone of a government office to answer the most common question of all "Are you open". Third, publish a by name list of those who receive public assistance. Nothing more than a name and the town in which they live. People should be embarrased to receive public money in lieu of working. Fourth, get rid of the automatic renewal system. Make the recipients come down to have their cards refilled and maybe take a drug test. And remove the ability to get unhealthy foods when using public funds. I was in a fast food restaurant the other day that accepted EBT cards. Fifth, set a lifetime limit of say 4 years. That is you can only receive 48 months of public assistance during your life. If you choose to use it while you are 18-22 then you can never get it again. Everyone gets to a point in their life in which they could apply for governement assistance. And that is what it is for and not for those who receive it their entire lives and enver work. And finally, require an ID proving citizenship in order to receive anything. If you are not here legally you get NOTHING. Dolomite [/quote] I agree. The system is being abused.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1352154603' post='839580'] Can I have your brass? [/quote] It's yours for now. If we survive, I plan to try my hand at reloading.

I'm preparing for both ends of the spectrum. If Mitt wins, I get to play plinko from my roof top. If Obama wins I have candy and popcorn to eat and plastic to cover my electronics while I watch all of the heads of Obama opponents spontaneously combust.

With the impending riots I was surprised that the range wasn't at full capacity today. Everyone must have been at home fortifying their fighting positions.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352152232' post='839544'] Dumb me. I didn't know there was a gen 4 G30. I need to try one of them, now. See what you did, Links? [/quote] You mean that you have to buy one of them now. You know how it goes. If you touch it, you own it.

[quote name='6.8 AR' timestamp='1352152447' post='839547'] Haha! I probably will, but it depends on how much of a reminder needs to be shouted out. When I picked it, I really thought someone else would have picked it. Novel and creepy, hmm. [/quote] For the last few years, every time that I read one your post the voice in my head sounds like Obama. Good Jedi mind trick with the avatar.

[quote name='OhShoot' timestamp='1352149127' post='839508'] What a screwy poll. [/quote] I thought the same thing. That's why I didn't pick a option.

I don't care for either of them and I suspect that the winner will attempt to implement some type of gun tax/control over the next four years. We get what we deserve. Every election cycle the people get suckered into talking about gays, race and abortions while the larger issues take a back seat. I am one of the few that really don't think that it matters whether it's Mitt or Obama. Neither will have any power. They have been bought and paid for. The big donors aren't giving just to have that warm and fuzzy feeling. We will see in another four years.

My son was out of school today for teacher in service so I decided to take him shooting. I took my latest Glock purchase with me. We put a couple of hundred rounds thru the G19, M&P22, M&P Shield and HK MP5-22. It wad a good time and the boy loved it as usual. The G19 did what glocks do. It performed without any issues. I got it with my favorite night sights (green/green TFO). I guess I'll try the Gen4 G30 next. I was afraid that they might have messed up a good thing (Gen3 was "perfect"), but I like the little changes so far. Thanks for reading and have a great day, Links2k

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1352049323' post='838909'] From what the Internet said about Memphis, you won't be able to tell that things have descended into anarchy. [/quote] Sadly, that's becoming the case. My wife mentioned moving to Florida again and I'm actually considering it. My mom moved to Clearwater about seven years ago.[quote name='Erik88' timestamp='1352052761' post='838933'] I agree but what leads you to believe they will be cut off anytime soon? It was take a major collapse of some kind before you start to see these programs scaled back. If anything, I expect them to continue to rise. [/quote] I can see that happening. The only thing worse are the people they take the benefits and then get in forums and complain about the government providing them.

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1352047377' post='838891'] At least we won't have to do much killin', since others are even more prepared. I'm worried about Link though. Being in Memphis, he could easily be killed and eaten before he can reach for his Glock . [/quote] Living on the wild side baby!

[quote name='TMF' timestamp='1352035994' post='838780'] Ahhh! Blood in the streets! [/quote] At least you are joking. I'm not so sure about these other heros.

So, it begins. Enjoy!

[quote name='zort' timestamp='1352000636' post='838704'] im more worried about a natural disaster hitting me than a riot over which clown is elected president. [/quote] I agree. Different clowns...same car.

[quote name='gun sane' timestamp='1352006037' post='838732'] I firmly believe that God loves righteousness and hates evil, therefore I pray that He will reward the man with the character most like His to be given the office for the next four years. [/quote] So, the office will be empty for the forseeable future?

[quote name='OhShoot' timestamp='1351994173' post='838607'] Actually, quite a few on Fox over course of day are calling for Mitt to win, just not any of the anchors, unlike MSNBC where there's little difference who's doing the proselytizing and raving. I think it's healthy to get a dose there once in awhile, or you lose track of just how vile the left can be. But all in all, I'm doing media blitz through the election -- as I've said before, I just don't know if even my love for day by day history can override the daily depression of four more with BHO. I've gotten where I can't hardly tolerate even [i]seeing[/i] or [i]hearing[/i] The CiC. - OS [/quote] If that is to be the reality you will get over it quickly by just sticking to your daily routine. I thought that it was the end when "w" won a second term.

That crap is not a Tennessee thing. Even in Memphis.

That's just stupid. If Obama wins in a land slide, the people making those post still won't take care of their own affairs. Obama won't acknowledge them again until he is campaigning for the next democratic nominee. The belief that people allow themselves to have in politicians makes my head hurt.

[quote name='SlapChopDonkey' timestamp='1351990269' post='838568'] Because at the township / county level, at least years ago in Indiana, many of the local republicans were well entrenched incumbents who couldn't even spell conservative. A lot of great young candidates were able to run under the local democratic party in an effort to unseat them. They mostly failed due to lack of money to campaign with. But, they had good, community instead of govt. based approaches to our problems. I don't care which party a candidate belongs to, I care about their ideas and policies. Voting solely based on party just doesn't make sense to me. [/quote] Lemmings?

[quote name='Glenn' timestamp='1351914672' post='838184'] I'm sick of seeing Colin powell endorsing Obama too [/quote] Que se la va hacer? Powells endorsement and a dollar will get you a candy bar. Means very little.

[quote name='TripleDigitRide' timestamp='1351911568' post='838143'] We have the Bush administration to thank for that. They could have pulled Hitler from the grave, stamped "Democrat" on his forehead, and he would have beat any Republican candidate. There was no wa in hell this country was going to vote for a Republican after the **** Bush got us into. [/quote] Yep!

[quote name='mikegideon' timestamp='1351911764' post='838146'] Of course he's dead. That was the whole point of the story. I'm gonna miss him too. I hope he left that 1911 to me [/quote] It's like Bruce Willis in "The Sixth Sense". The wife is inside the house grieving and he's outside jacking around and talking to himself. I like this thread.
