  1. May you have one of those Christmas miracles, just like on TV. 
  2.   I think they're working to excuse murder, too.  Remember Benghazi and Fast & Furious?
  3. Should Cracker Barrel shed its southern white trash label and rename itself the "In A Pickle Barrel?"
  4. And speaking of term limits, how about limiting the tenure of congressional leadership?  What if the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority/Minority leaders could only serve one term?  A lot of the crap in Congress is because of their own rules not cited in the Constitution.
  5. They had to beg Washington to take a second term.  After being a general and president, he felt it prudent to go back to Mt. Vernon and watch his crops grow.  He was not a politician, but a remarkable pragmatist who saw the country's greatest need and unselfishly acted to fill it.  Today's self-centered opportunists ignore the need and grab what's best for them.
  6. I had to take the test about four times, slightly amending my answers to some questions.  It finally deduced that I came from southern stock but placed me in the deep South, rather than the Texas/Oklahoma area where I was raised.  But try telling know-it-all yankees that.  :shrug: 
  7. Based on how y'all talk, that is. The yankees who thought this quiz up think they can tell where y'all come from by what y'all call things. Where I come from they call that meddlin'. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?r=212224504004000j0j8001000140000k0800018080000b0008&_r=0 And if y'all can't guess, I'm a New England Midwesterner.
  8. You may know that Phil Robertson used to be the #1 quarterback at Louisiana Tech when Terry Bradshaw was second banana. Here's Bradshaw's take on Phil as the real deal.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGUBNq9MMTE
  9. For the hard-to-buy-for redneck on your Christmas shopping list:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnqCaN42L64
  10. Welcome to the best little city in Tennessee, authenticroger.....you've earned it!  And welcome to TGO.
  11. We bought an Oreck upright about seven years ago and it's still cleaning up.  We have laminate flooring and an area rug, but the Oreck doesn't miss a beat.
  12. Anything relevant from the Henry store.    http://www.henryrepeating.com/st-store.cfm
  13. I would have said Heaven, but that's not a place where the general population can go.
  14. TGO David, would you consider running for office?....Like next year?  :clap:
  15. After reading the story about a man getting gunned down in a New Jersey mall carjacking, I thought I'd check to see how topnotch their security is. I found this quote on their website. It turns out none of the methods of getting help was quick enough in this case.     http://www.nj.com/essex/index.ssf/2013/12/short_hills_mall_shooting.html   New Jersey is a "may issue" state that requires a damn good reason for a carry permit. I wonder if this man's wife may now move to the head of the line.
  16. I agree with what radio host Don Imus said:  "Nelson Mandela is a leader Barack Obama should try to emulate...He could start by spending 27 years in prison."
  17. If the truth were known:   Mag,  $22 Extra profit for putting item in box with packing peanuts, $5 Time it takes to sweep up spilled peanuts, $1 Post office or FedEx storage charge, $4 Actual cost of shipping, $2
  18.   He's certainly freed up to run.  I'm doubling your vote.
  19. I'll talk a bit out of school here.  New Bern does have a good assortment of firearms with reasonable enough prices, but make certain before you walk out it's what you wanted.  My buddy asked for the .40 cal Hi-Point carbine which was marked on display.  They did the paperwork and the money changed hands.  When he got home he found out it was a .45 ACP.  He returned it unfired to the store and they wouldn't give him full credit.  They ordered a .40 for him, which came in a couple of weeks.  So the owner made three profits--one on the original sale, one on the re-order and another when the first gun was re-sold.  I've heard of "Let the buyer beware," but the store should be just as careful on a gun sale.  JMO.

  21. Well, it's a relief to read everyone's comments following my last.  I get a little tired of "seeing through a glass darkly" and clarification certainly helps illuminate meaningful rhetoric.  It's a mistake to confuse conservatism with strict constitutional constructionism.  Our cultures and opinions of "the way things ought to be" are much too diverse.  As a Christian, I firmly believe that this world is only temporary and I'm just passing through.  If I read my Bible right, everything physical will be on fire someday and the only thing we have that is permanent is our own soul.  It's that belief in my eternal destiny that helps me to keep my sanity in this daily flash mob of madness.  But I'm not so heavenly minded that I can't be of earthly use.  It is our vital duty to protect the blessings of liberty which we have, but as it's been said, liberty must have common limits, ie. "Your rights end where my nose begins."   When the Constitution was written, the founders knew nothing of worldwide terrorism, nuclear bombs or low flush toilets.  So they furnished us legal precepts and guidelines, not overly specific, to conduct our affairs as free individuals who appoint representatives of our interests.  They wrote phrases such as "provide for the common defense," and "promote the general welfare,"  with the understanding that there would be times when each and every citizen would be called to contribute or sacrifice for our mutual survival.  But the founders, even as we, were powerless to strictly regulate personal perspectives of how a person should live, except when that liberty trespasses upon the physical, spiritual and financial domain of another.  In those kingdoms we must be our own keepers.
  22. I'm a bit ashamed of you guys for not noticing the cultural value of that video.  I mean, there had to be some in it somewhere.
  23.   I gotta admit that I got lost, too, with JayC's labeling of Levin and Hannity as neocons.  I figured he may have picked it up from the pseudo-journalists at MSNBC, since the term originated with leftist ideology and they make a habit of name calling when they're fresh out of logical points to make.  I knew that Reagan was formerly a Dem, but often said, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me."  My apology for any misunderstanding.  
  24.   I didn't realize that.  I don't watch MSNBC.
  25.   I doubt we're talking about the same person.  The one who penned The Liberty Amendments is Mark R. Levin.  He is one of the champions of the Tea Party who advised Ronald Reagan's cabinet and has a popular radio program.  Sean Hannity calls Levin, "the Great One."    Perhaps you're pointing to radio host  Mark Levine, who served as a legislative counsel to Barney Frank and often appears on Fox News to make a fool of himself.  Rush Limbaugh has called Levine, "a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance."
