  1. "Upgrade the US to the same standard of care as the rest of the world"... Is that why so many people from so many countries flock to the US to get the treatment they can't get in their own countries? I don't need to be like the rest of the world. I'm happy being an American!
  2. That was really cool!
  3. I would also rather have gov shutdown than be overrun by gov healthcare.
  4. That's a cool bowhunt you had. My grandfather always told me that adult deer will seek out foxes and coyotes if given the chance to drive them off or eradicate them. Don't know if its true, but most of the times I have seen predators from my deer stand I have also seen deer. I popped a bobcat one time with a rifle and then had two deer walk up within just minutes. Last time I saw a fox, I also saw a doe within minutes on the same trail. It may just be coincidence, but there seems to be some sort of relationship there. Oh, my sympathies on the chiggers! Mean little buggers that spare no mercy and have no shame on WHERE they'll bite ya :(
  5. Resurrected ALMOST a year to the day. Looks cool. Anyone try it yet?
  6. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/18/gop-goes-all-in-on-de-fund-obamacare-as-shutdown-looms/ ADVERTISEMENT House Speaker John Boehner, in an abrupt turnaround, plans to let Tea Party lawmakers have a vote on de-funding ObamaCare as part of a politically risky strategy which Democrats warn could result in a government shutdown. GOP leaders unveiled their plan to members on Wednesday morning, teeing up a vote for Friday -- the proposed bill would tie the vote to de-fund the health care law to a vote on a stopgap spending bill. Current funding for the government is set to expire at the end of the month, and lawmakers must approve the stopgap bill in order to keep Washington open; conservatives see this as leverage to force a suspension of ObamaCare. "The law's a trainwreck," Boehner said of the Affordable Care Act. "It's time to protect American families from this unworkable law." Effectively, Boehner and his deputies have backed off a compromise approach they earlier tried to sell to rank-and-file conservatives. Under that plan, the House would have sent two bills to the Senate -- one to de-fund ObamaCare, the other to fund the government. The Senate, then, would have been able to easily bypass the ObamaCare bill and send the spending measure straight to the White House, in turn averting a government shutdown. But House conservatives revolted, and Boehner now plans to tie the two votes together. Under the plan, funding the government would be conditional on de-funding ObamaCare. It is a concession to House conservatives as well as senators like Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and outside groups like the Heritage Foundation that have demanded Congress use the must-pass budget bill as leverage to derail the health care law. But it is also undoubtedly risky. President Obama and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid have warned Republicans not to go down that road, suggesting that they will bear the brunt of the blame if the gambit results in a government shutdown. Obama blasted Republicans during an interview Tuesday with Telemundo. "We're hearing that a certain faction of Republicans, in the House of Representatives in particular are arguing for government shutdown or even a default for the United States of America ... if they don't get 100 percent of what they want," Obama said. On Wednesday in Washington, Obama suggested that Republicans have gotten distracted from their original goal of cutting deficits. "We have not seen this in the past, that a budget is contingent on us eliminating a program that was voted on, passed by both chambers of Congress," Obama said. The GOP measure would fund the government through Dec. 15, at current funding levels. Republicans also plan to push a measure dealing with the debt ceiling, with a mid-October deadline looming for when the government can no longer honor its obligations. GOP leaders say that measure will include an effort to delay the implementation of the health care law as well. Democratic leaders have no intention, though, of supporting any effort to de-fund the health law, and the Senate would likely reject such a move and send the measure back. Then it would be an open question as to whether the House could pass a straight budget bill. Boehner might be compelled to consider passing a budget with a coalition of mostly Democrats. Or, the House and Senate could get stuck in a bout of legislative ping-pong, each passing its own bill and bouncing it over to the other chamber. But that could only last so long, since government funding runs out at midnight on Sept. 30. The bill would become a hot potato -- neither chamber would want to have it when the clock runs out. "When it comes to a government shutdown, it may depend on who is holding the ball at the end," said Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla. Fox News' Chad Pergram and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
  7. Just got the first email from CMP stating that they have my order! Now the waiting game. Email said 120-180 days
  8. Those must have been the chiggers that couldn't find a vacant spot on my body, lol. I'm still scratching a little. Your stand looks nice. Next weekend... Can't wait!!
  9. I felll asleep last night and just now catching up. That's great news!
  10. I got the alert, and this one seems concerning. Usually there's mention of a custody issue, but not this time. ------------------------------------------ Benjamin Tipton (11 years-old) The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is issuing a Statewide AMBER Alert for the Spring Hill Police Department for 11-year old Benjamin Ross Tipton.

Benjamin is a white male with short brown hair, hazel eyes, weighs 80lbs and is 500 tall. He was last seen wearing a green shirt and jean shorts and was carrying a blue backpack.

  11. Cool. I'll be down that direction tomorrow, and I'll take a look. I need to replenish a little after some recent range time :)
  12. I don't know about the VA law... sounds fishy though. I'm sure it will turn into a fully automatic 870 pump by the end of the week... with high capacity "clips".
  13. Academy... In Chattanooga? I like the Monarch brand. Pretty accurate out of my 9mm
  14. I can't find any pics of this combination online. Does anyone have a pic of a blued shotgun with matte bbl? Bonus points if it's a Remmy 1100 :) I'm trying to decide if I can live with that combo. Thanks
  15. This^ is the same for me. It is a BIG knife. It's heavy duty and will snag my pocket on the rough edges. Mine is VERY sharp. It flips ok. It's also worth it to me for what I paid for it.
  16. Yep, and we should start by making an example with Alexander in the Primary.
  17. I guess it's possible. The adage "you get what you pay for" rarely (if ever) fails me, but I still test it sometimes :)
  18. Tracking info shows mine will be delivered tomorrow
  19. It's a tragic event for sure, but I don't see this getting the political legs that the last tragedy did.
  20. This whole thread and no pictures??
  21. Praying that all is well with him
  22. I'm sure you're right. A gun free zone within the gun free zone of DC.
  23. Maybe they'll make it illegal to have a gun in DC...
