It's OVER! And they'd have to get every dead person in Mass. to vote for her at this point to pull it off. Brown won by 112,000 votes.

Where can I buy?

Yup! I like trucks. I like people who own trucks. I like people who drive trucks.

Same here. I have 16, all operating.

Yeah, I'm sure he does, and it's usually followed by a pool of warm yellow liquid forming around his shoes.

Coakley is now running ads using Brown's quote that it is the people's seat. Ahh liberals...love to hate them.

WE can NOT wait for the GOP and Michael Steel to pick anyone FOR US! We must pick them ourselves. Screw the GOP and Michael Steele, they are idiots. And the liberal left will just jump in as they have in the past and vote in Republican primaries and select the weakest and most easily beatable candidate FOR US. We MUST select someone that the majority of the people stand behind, no matter what the two major parties think of them. Most likely a new face will emerge that most people have never heard of before. I personally would put forth someone like Marsha Blackburn, Michelle Bachman, or even Sarah Palin, etc. I had been writing Sarah Palin encouraging her participation in politics on a national level when she was Governor of Alaska well over a year before the majority of the rest of the United States had ever even heard of her. We were stuck with McLame thanks to lefties voting in our primaries, but McLame blew the world's mind when he selected Palin as his V.P. The campaign went down the tubes mostly because of his not being willing to call out Obama for what he was, the media's fabricated attacks on Palin only being secondary leading to the loss.

I think I've seen that guy somewhere!

Regarding Militias, Gun Ownership and The Second Amendment - Reprinted in the January 2010 edition of the NRA publication - America's 1st Freedom Digging Gun Rights Out Of A State House Dumpster By Marie Parente/Daily News columnist Milford Daily News Posted Oct 21, 2009 @ 12:26 AM (I couldn't find the article or a link on NRA's websites, but here it is printed verbatim from the original source) MARIE PARENTE: Digging gun rights out of a State House Dumpster - Milford, MA - The Milford Daily News -------------- MILFORD - During my second term in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, I received a call from then Speaker Thomas McGee to meet with him regarding legislative matters. He got to the point quickly. "There is a State House Library Board of Trustees comprised of members from various learning institutions and prestigious libraries. Members include the secretary of state or his designee, governor or his designee, director of JFK Library, state librarian and Haverhill library director and other archivists. Two of the seats on that board have been assigned to the Speaker and the Senate President or their designees. I have noticed that you make extensive use of that library, so I am asking you to serve as my designee to that board." As a fairly new legislator, I was stunned but appreciative. I accepted and served from 1982 to 2006 having been appointed and re-appointed by succeeding Speakers. Eventually I was elected library chair and served in that capacity from July 1991 to December 2006. The board conducted regular meetings regarding state library budgets, acquisitions, personnel, and maintained the security of the second oldest library in the country. Our duties included the preservation of the commonwealth's one million book collection, special collection of documents, e.g. Mayflower Compact and the Bradford Manuscript. The Bradford Manuscript is often described as the diary of the Mayflower's personnel and passengers and is stored in the State House vault whose exact site is shared with very few individuals. Once we allowed the Plymouth Historical Society to "borrow" it for their 350th anniversary. After six months of negotiations to insure its safety, we sent the document to Plymouth escorted by state troopers. It is now ensconced in the State Archives, Dorchester - under 24-hour guard. Probably the shortest term served was by a library director who "purged the collection" by throwing out leather-bound books because "we have several copies of those books." "What a waste," I thought. So when I spotted the leather-bound books in a State House hallway Dumpster, I climbed in and retrieved them. I donated several to local collectors and libraries. I confess, I kept one for myself. "The Acts and Resolves of 1779." Occasionally I would thumb through the book to experience the mind set of legislators in 1779. It was there I learned why the Legislature is often referred to as "The Great and General Court." There was no court system in 1779 and a wide variety of issues were brought before the Legislature for resolution. Some years later, the recurring argument of gun control surfaced. A new legislator proposed additional controls on gun ownership. The debate went on for hours. I remembered the old leather-bound "Dumpster" book . I rushed to my office, found the book and rushed back to the Chamber to join the debate. The proponent of new gun ownership controls was in hot pursuit of his opponents. I joined the fray. "Mr. Speaker." "For what purpose does the lady from Milford rise?" "To debate, Mr. Speaker." And there I was at the podium, "I object to the proposed changes to our gun laws," I said. My opponent roared, "On what basis?" "The second Constitutional amendment... the right to bear arms." I stated, firmly. My opponent was relentless. "And where is it written, that a man has the right to a private weapon? Where is that written?" "I thought you would never ask." I responded and read from the book's withered pages: "Whereas by a Resolve of the General Court of this State, past the 2nd of April 1778, for raising 1300 men for North River, it was among other Things resolved that every person who supply himself with a good firelock and bayonet, cartouche-box, haversack and blanket ... shall receive, agreeable to a resolve by the Congress, ... two dollars for the use of his firelock, bayonet and cartouche and two dollars for the use of his blanket and four dollars in like proportion for either of them." According to the Acts and Resolves of 1779, "after producing proper vouchers they were so provided. It is my considered belief the farmers earned tacit approval of private gun ownership." In conclusion, I said, "Had not the farmers brought their private weapons to the Revolutionary War we might not be standing here today." I called for a roll call vote. The proposal to restrict ownership of private weapons went down in flames. Speaker McGee leaned over the rostrum, and said, "where did you find that one?" I smiled and said, "The Dumpster, sir." I still have the book. It is a trove of common sense legislation that became the bedrock of freedom. The right to bear arms was incorporated into the Bill of Rights and enacted circa 1791. Since we had no army, per se, in 1775, the farmer with his firelock, and his blanket helped us win our freedom! Tacit approval of private gun ownership, I say! Marie J. Parente of Milford is a former state representative and town official.

Explain more please.

Yeah, they don't teach stuff like this in public schools anymore. These days they'd have him painted as some white oppressor to deer and rabbits who was invading pristine territories that were never meant to have foot set upon by man. He'd be lambasted for building a log cabin and called outright evil for carrying a gun.

Second or third thread on this. Just saying.

Same here at 9:52pm central using Safari, FireFox and IE.

Sheriff's Interview By Champ Miller A young Texan grew up wanting to be a law man. He grew up big, 6'2", strong as a longhorn, and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally came of age he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the West Texas Sheriff's Department. After a big mess of tests and interviews the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the last interview. The Chief Deputy says: "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good. But we have what you call an attitude suitability test that you must take before you can be accepted. We just don't let anyone carry our badge son." Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief says: "Take this pistol and go out and shoot: six illegal aliens, six lawyers, six meth dealers, six Muslim extremists, and a rabbit." "Why do you want me to shoot the rabbit?" says the young Texan. "Great attitude," says the Chief Deputy. When can you start?"

I determined that UNICEF was crap back in the early 70's. Just another b.s. scam organization like the U.N.

You got it.

ComcAssed has been up and down several times over the past week in the South Nashville/Antioch/Smyrna/M-boro area. I know several people who had no internet this morning, but phone and tv were working. All three out a few times in past week.

Reagan had spheres.

It's a wasted trip baby. Nobody said nothing about locking horns with no Tigers. (I can quote all Clint Eastwood movies verbatim all the way through...to my wife's amazement. I just tell her it's a guy thing. and Kelly's Heroes has been one of my top 5 fav's since it came out.)

Yeah...unless you forget...the recovery...

Don't forget about Obama's 'stash'. He still has hundreds of BILLIONS of unaccounted for TARP money that I'm sure he thinks he's going to be using for 2010 and 2012 elections. Count on it. And ACORN still isn't dead yet. PLEASE! Let us not do like in the movies and start celebrating too soon before all of the bad guys are taken care of and then we get killed at the end. The time to celebrate is AFTER it's a done deal and we have it locked up, people sworn in and in the actual office. The liberal scum will fight it all the way to the end and get their scum lawyers and judges to help them out if need be. Remember Al Franken anyone?

Damn! Now what am I supposed to do with these 400 gallons of milk and 600 loaves of bread???? I was going to get rich.

I have been wondering this for days. Maybe they have 'emergency appointments' planned under a situation of "a really good crisis"? Not being tin-foil here, just saying that it is one scenario that is a possibility.

WHEN will people learn?!?!

Agreed...and I think that in those rare times when a term like that was used, the poster(s) were speaking more about the gang and crime situation rather than anything having specifically to do with race. I just ignore it and filter it out, but I do not think that we have a large racist following here. So, welcome, I hope you stick around, but you've got to take some things said on here (and any forum for that matter) with a grain of salt.
