When I went through S.E.R.E school in the Army, they said the best survival manuals are the Army Survival Manual, the SAS Survival manual, and the Boy Scout Handbook. Need to add all three to your library.

The wife will be there with me in tow. See you then, if not sooner.

Playing the devil's advocate here: One thing is for certain. Obama was going to appoint a liberal judge to that spot. It was going to happen. Sotomayor is FAR from my first choice, but to be blunt, she's pretty far from my last as well. She's bad, but I feel it coulda been worse. Just sayin'.

I really don't see the humor in it. I can't believe I typed that with a straight face. That stuff is hilarious!!!

Yea. The fact is they're NOT thinking. That's the problem.

I can understand that. Hell, I've done it to MY gun. BTW, Daniel's a great guy. Just bought my XDM-40 from him yesterday. And he has a seriously pimptastic AR15.

You can shoot that gun at "On Target" in Murfreesboro.

Is nothing sacred?

Drums lessons on Wednesday nights, so couldn't make it then. But I'd be willing to bet the wife would join me on Sunday evenings.

All, at the very wise suggestion of another member on here, I have done what I should have done a while ago and put Ralphie on my ignore list. I suggest you all do the same as all he does is hijack threads with his comments full of bigoted fear of those who are obviously smarter than him. If everyone here did the same, it would be like he didn't even exist because all of his asinine responses wouldn't even show in the thread. I suggest everyone does the same. It's obvious he's neither a gun owner nor an adult no matter how many times he claims otherwise. Like he said, stop feeding him and maybe he'll go away.

Welcome Nathan. Glad to see you here. Hopefully you'll do something about that glaring lack of firearms.

No problemo. When the IT guy delivers your phone, smack 'im upside his head and say, "Offer a Blackberry next time. Sheesh."

And I guess that during the previous 8 years you somehow missed the endless Bush bashing by the left? Please come down off your sanctimonious high horse for 2 seconds and listen to yourself. You are correct about the "senseless violence" part. That guy that was attacked by liberals at the town hall meeting was a perfect example of that. FINALLY, Ralphie and I agree on something. Even in poker, one of a kind loses every time. That's all you have is the damn race card. Everybody is racist. Well guess what, you're probably the most racist, bigoted, ignorant, narrow-minded fool on this entire board by a long shot. Can you explain to me how whites are now the minority in this country? I wasn't aware of that. Nobody I know was aware of that. Hell, even the U.S. Census wasn't aware of that. It's a wonder they didn't call you to verify. USA QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau Ralph, I'm sure even someone like you can understand that some people have different views. Hell, yours are different than most of America's. So why is it that you can't say one thing about the other side without being insulting? Is your mental capacity really that limited? Come up with an argument already. And please tell me that no liberals ever disrupted any kind of public meetings, etc. Please. Please make a statement so obviously ignorant that a 3 year old could refute it. And while we're talking about the death throes, why don't you take a look in your own back yard? Look at Pelosi referring to those who choose to voice their opposition to the plan they tried their hardest to push through the House and Senate without a chance to read it as "Astroturf" and clearly insinuating Nazi sympathies. Can you explain the hypocrisy in this statement by Hillary Clinton? "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." Why is it only OK to disagree and stand up and fight against a white conservative President? Since you're obviously so fond of playing the race card, how about you play against it for once? How is that not racist? If you ever said anything with a modicum of sense, I'd probably fall over dead from shock. However, even without the government rationing my health care, I feel confident that I am safe from such a fate.

Let me give you my opinion of the Omnia (and all Windows based phones, for that matter). I wouldn't wipe my butt with the manual to that thing. I had one (I was stupid enough to buy it after throwing my previous Windoze phone out of a moving car) and hated it. I was going to do a Youtube review of it where I shot it with my .40, but then my wife reminded me that I had 30 days to trade it in. I traded it on the 29th day for Blackberry. My complaints: 1 - You have to unlock the phone to attempt to answer a call, unlock it, then unlock it, unlock it to unlock it, and unlock it. Did I mention unlock it? The stupid thing locks itself about every .0000000000001 seconds. It's a bit excessive, in my humble opinion. 2 - It's Windoze based. What more do I have to say? When you first get it, you will get a message confirmation after every single message you send. To get rid of it, you have to download a registry editor program and install it, then add a key to the Windoze registry to tell it not to. It's an annoying message that will get on your nerves. 3 - As with every other Windoze product, it reboots when it feels it's time, whether or not you're on a call, or whatever. 4 - VZ Navigator never worked right on mine. This was the source of many reboots. If you don't like the hassle of having to do updates, editing the registry, etc, don't get a Windows based phone. Learn from my stupidity. I did it twice, just showing that I don't. I'm not sure why Blackberry isn't on your list, but it should be. They just work. And there are lots of cool apps that you can download for free, like Pandora radio, some games (I like chess), Blackberry Messenger, Trapster (shows where speed traps are), and Facebook, just to name a few. But if you need to shoot something, a Windows phone would make a great target.

Damn it Papa, stop using facts. Ralph is not interested in facts. He has shown it time and time and time and time and time...well, you get the point. Besides, don't you know that only conservatives are interested in money. We're all money grubbing whores. Every last one of us. Like George Soros: there's an icon of conservatism, right? And he's filthy stinking rich. Of course he didn't make a damn dime of that money by trampling on the little guy, because as the omniscient Ralph G. Briscoe has so brilliantly pointed out, no liberal would EVER do that. Only us EEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL conservatives. And of course, the first ones in line to sign up for this wonderful, life-saving, not-a-damn-person-is-going-to-profit-from-this-bill health care option will undoubtedly be Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and of course Ralphie boy. I on the other hand, have actually had a taste of socialized medicine, and I think I'll pass, thanks.

Parrot, all the stats you'll ever need and then some. Gun Facts - Debunking Gun Myths

1. It says "promote" not "provide." Nuff said. 2. I have worked providing housing for those that "can't" work and paid for that housing using their Section 8 benefits. Most of them drove the nicest cars in the building and had the nicest furniture. Now there are two possible explanations, both of which are equally likely. A) The benefits they were receiving were far in excess of what it took to "survive" or they were working in some other endeavor "under the table" and without the knowledge of the government who was paying their section 8 benefits. So yea, there are PLENTY of people who DON'T work as opposed to CAN'T work.

Wow, I need to have my eyes checked. I thought Clinton and Biden were, birthers, er I mean honkies, er I mean white. Yea white. But I guess since I call them "socialist" I must subconsciously think they're black, and therefore what I really mean is that they are....well, you know. Geez, I never even realized I was racist against myself. I feel so dirty.

Serves you right. That's obviously a racist drink.

I was almost crying I was laughing so hard at parts of this. My coworkers were wondering what the heck was going on until I started snappin' my fingers and singin' "Obama and Larry Sinclair..."

Isaac, Isaac, Isaac. Puhlease. He already made it clear that his charming personality will save him in the event that he is erroneously attacked. Once he wields his mighty lib card (that's liberal, not library) the crack addict will recognize him as friend and move on to more conservative target. Of course that will likely be to his detriment, since we far-right extremists are all carrying Gatling guns on the side of our hip. That's the strong side. The weak side is for all the grenades and rocket launchers. <---There's not enough of those on this planet to sum it up.

As you pointed out, the vast majority of people in the U.S. are covered by some type of health care. So how is this not about "ME ME ME"? Tax everyone so a minority can benefit? No, that's not selfish either. You see, there's always, ALWAYS going to be losers in any system. But Obama wants to change it from 10% being the losers to 100% (minus Congresss and Senate, who will continue to have their own health care) being the losers. I'm not sure how this is a net benefit. And if you think that their estimates of how much this is going to cost are accurate, you apparently haven't heard of universal health care in Massachusetts or that other state. Which one was it? Oh yea, Tennessee. TennCare. Sound familiar? Or Medicare. It is currently at around 11 times the original estimate of how much it was going to cost. Massachusetts' health care is currently at about 10 times the original estimate, etc, etc. Yea, it's a sick world we live in. But unfortunately it's the only one we have. We can deal with it like big boys and girls, or we can make it even worse. I choose the former, thanks.

If anyone has the names of the reps and how they voted, I would appreciate them posting it here. I will take the time to write them a letter. Thanks.

How dare you use their words against them? That's downright unAmerican, unpatriotic, unblahh blah blah. I'm sorry, were you saying something? :screwy:

Anybody know if the public will be allowed to speak?
