That's a cool old rifle!

It's hard for the democrats to have honest debate about Iran because of the growing thought amongst liberals and which is prevalent at Foggy Bottom that it is only a matter of time until Iran gets a nuke, so we should just accept it. The thought goes along the lines of, "we normalized relations with the Soviets, Chinese, Indians and Pakistanis after they got nukes. Why can't we do the same with Iran?" This is clearly a dangerous thought, and makes the assumption ayatollahs are rational actors. There's a second thought that I'm hearing a lot of out of academia right now as well that assumes that if America can have nuclear weapons, then anyone else should be entitled to them as well It's a dangerous world we live in. God may have created all men equal, but it's foolish to assume every man has your best interests at heart.

I'm with Mike. I don't honestly see how anyone who watched the debate last night could come away thinking, "man, I'm sure glad Joe Biden is one heartbeat away from the presidency." I just don't get it.

This is great. Thanks for sharing, Dave!

"Watch out middle class because the tax bill is coming to you." Good for Ryan for finally saying this!

Ryan's bringing his A game. Biden just called him a liar. No less than 5 minutes in. There was a time when that wouldn't have been tolerated, but at least we know what their strategy is going to be.

Why Romney will win this election
MacGyver replied to MacGyver's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Yeah, everything I see seems to indicate that Obama is doubling down and is going to come across as a condescending narcissist in the next debate as well. I do enjoy how the left is suddenly rallying behind Joe Biden. Seems a bit of a stretch to pin your debate hopes on him. I think Ryan is going to eat him alive. -
Sell them both and go for a S&W 642 or similar? I want to like kel-tecs. They're innovative. The reliablilty just isn't there, though. I like a good snub nose, but if it's going in my pocket, I'd just assume not have the hammer exposed.

I've been thinking about the role of money in the election over the last couple of days. Three thoughts: First, this article in the WSJ yesterday noting how Goldman Sachs has done a complete 180 abandoning giving to Obama in favor of giving to Romney: http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2012/10/09/goldmans-political-money-waves-bye-to-obama-heads-to-romney/?KEYWORDS=goldman+romney Second, a comment overheard yesterday made by a Goldman insider stating, "I like Romney because he is just like me." Lastly, as I think about these things, I keep coming back to the old Emma Goldman quote, "if voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal." Mind you, she was an anarchist, but for some reason it seems relevant to this discussion. Thoughts?

You need to try Copper Kettle on Granny White right across the street from Lipscomb. Great meat and three.

Monell's 1235 6th Ave. North Or, if you're in the mood for cheap and fast - Cori's Dog House - 29th and West End.

Looking at the stats on the sharing site, it looks like a fair number of people are watching these, so here's the next installment: Kingdom Politics - Week 05 - Discipleship and Patriotism http://player.vimeo.com/video/51067442

Without a letter from the ATF stating it's okay or a tax stamp, I'd say it's illegal as all get out.

New Califonia Law (caution gay thread)
MacGyver replied to 45guy's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Wasn't reorientation therapy debunked decades ago? I get the desire to 'change' people that makes this appealing to certain groups and maybe some families, but this is pseudoscience at best and highly unethical at its worst. -
Blackhorn 209 fan here. Needs a hot primer, though

If you want to swing by my office one day, you can take a look at mine. If you'll give me a heads up the day before, I'll throw my full size Military into the mix as well. I'm in Brentwood.

This story just keeps on giving. They held a press conference in the middle of campus: http://www.outkickthecoverage.com/tennessee-fraternity-denies-buttchugging-charge-in-press-conference-that-really-happened.php

I'm a big fan of Old Crow Medicine Show. This afternoon, I heard their lead singer talking about their song "Levi" off their newest album. As he related, the song is about Lt. Leevi Barnard who was killed in Baghdad back in 2010. Listening to a story remembering him on NPR, they related how he liked Old Crow. That moved Ketch to jot down a few lines, and ended up both recording the song and performing it for his family. He said, "it's not pro-war or anti-war, it's about a kid who gave his life over there." Pretty cool. It's worth a listen. Here they are performing it on WRLT here in Nashville:

I can pretty much put the kibosh on an official TGO table at shows, as I'm certain there are liability issues for corporate participants at gunshows that would come into play. That said, if you're looking to get a personal table at shows, feel free to post it in the events section and let everyone know about it. If other members want to share the cost and participate, then y'all can work out the details privately.

We're going to need video of that!
