Feeling kinda weird today. I really couldn’t describe it, so I made a video that sums it up. I hope Chuck Norris doesn’t read this post. He’d round-house kick me in the head for using the word “feeling.”

From Chad at Pass The Ammo:
So Jonas and I finally got our hunting store good and live. Only took a year to get everything in gear. But most the time goes into adding products. I’ve got just under 400 products on there now, and we carry about 2,000. So products are added all the time. And just in case anyone is interested and living in a true state. I can sell you an M-249 SAW, If you want to spend around 7 grand.
Yes. I want a SAW.
Well it has taken me some careful consideration and I finally decided on a candidate to vote for. Mike Huckabee is my man. This is my personal decision that does not reflect the opinion of other authors here at 3G. But come’on… if Chuck Norris says he’s the guy, then I am in good company!
Chuck is right on. Why are we compromising to nominate a centrist like Guliani? This is truly absurd. You cannot deny that Mike Huckabee is more conservative, has more experience, and is a better speaker than Guliani, Romney, Thompson, and McCain. That’s why Mike Huckabee is my homeboy. He’s has my values AND he is an outdoorsman too – an avid fisherman, hunter and a long-term member of the NRA.
Don’t listen to the nay-sayers who think Mike can’t beat Hillary. My alcoholic uncle Bob can beat Hillary. He does need our support and donations. Please consider voting for Mike Huckabee and visit his website at https://www.mikehuckabee.com/.
“On June 28th, 2005… While conducting surveillance on a mountain ridge in Afghanistan, he and three fellow SEALs were surrounded by a much larger enemy force. Their only escape was down the side of a mountain — and the SEALs launched a valiant counterattack while cascading from cliff to cliff. But as the enemy closed in, Michael recognized that the survival of his men depended on calling back to the base for reinforcements. With complete disregard for his own life, he moved into a clearing where his phone would get reception. He made the call, and Michael then fell under heavy fire. Yet his grace and upbringing never deserted him. Though severely wounded, he said “thank you” before hanging up, and returned to the fight — before losing his life.
For his courage, Lieutenant Michael Murphy was awarded the first Medal of Honor for combat in Afghanistan. And with this medal, it is acknowledged a debt that will not diminish with time — and can never be repaid.”
May God keep you safe in Heaven for eternity.
Ryan over at Red’s Trading Post challenged everyone to email all hundred of the US Senators with this email:
RE: ATF using Back Door attacks to shut down our Second Amendment Dear Senator, I wanted to make you aware of the back door attack that the ATF is conducting on our Second Amendment. From 1994-2005 the number of dealers has decreased nearly 80%; from 2001-06 the number of license revocations had increased nearly 6 times. Furthermore, the number of Firearms manufacturers from 2001-06 has decreased nearly 85%. These numbers are very alarming and I hope that you will look into this and stop this Back Door assault on our Second Amendment. Respectfully,
Well, after downloading the Firefox addon “Autofill” I was able to blaze thru them pretty quickly. Ryan’s also offering a free Red’s Trading Post coffee mug to anybody that is willing to do this.
In honor of Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize I thought I would post the *eleven inaccuracies of his amazing documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
*according to an British Court
The inaccuracies, according to the court, are: 1. The film claims that melting snows on Mount Kilimanjaro evidence global warming. The Government’s expert was forced to concede that this is not correct. 2. The film suggests that evidence from ice cores proves that rising CO2 causes temperature increases over 650,000 years. The court found that the film was misleading: Over that period the rises in CO2 lagged behind the temperature rises by 800-2000 years. 3. The film uses emotive images of Hurricane Katrina and suggests that this has been caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that it was “not possible” to attribute one-off events to global warming. 4. The film shows the drying up of Lake Chad and claims that this was caused by global warming. The Government’s expert had to accept that this was not the case. 5. The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing arctic ice. It turned out that Mr. Gore had misread the study: In fact four polar bears drowned, and this was because of a particularly violent storm. 6. The film threatens that global warming could stop the Gulf Stream, throwing Europe into an ice age: The Claimant’s evidence was that this was a scientific impossibility. 7. The film blames global warming for species losses including coral reef bleaching. The Government could not find any evidence to support this claim. 8. The film suggests that the Greenland ice covering could melt, causing sea levels to rise dangerously. The evidence is that Greenland will not melt for millennia. 9. The film suggests that the Antarctic ice covering is melting; the evidence was that it is in fact increasing. 10. The film suggests that sea levels could rise by seven meters, causing the displacement of millions of people. In fact, the evidence is that sea levels are expected to rise by about 40 centimeters over the next hundred years and that there is no such threat of massive migration. 11. The film claims that rising sea levels has caused the evacuation of certain Pacific islands to New Zealand. The Government are unable to substantiate this and the Court observed that this appears to be a false claim.
Yasir Arafat and Jimmy Carter would be proud to have such fine company to join them in this honor of all honors. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee sure knows how to pick the very finest in the World.
Matthew Burden of BlackFive.net was selected as a finalist for the 2007 Blogging Scholarship award. I know this is a shameless plug, but I implore any and all of BlackFive’s readers/fans to go over there and vote for him. The results are looking kinda sad right now. You should see some of the yahoos with more votes than our beloved BlackFive. It’s CRIMINAL!

Now I have heard this many times in the past but just today I have read two stories with this thinking involved. Do guns owners need therapy for their mental illness? Is conservativism a diagnosable mental illness found in the DSM? Are people who believe in their RKBA psycho? Well, many liberals believe this and they are even making it well known.
Story #1: A college student gets kicked out of school and can only return after being mentally evaluated and cleared by a mental health professional. His crime: emailing administration, lobbying for on-campus gun rights.
Story #2: A man who is QUESTIONING THE LEGALITY of tactics used by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg to sue gun dealers has gotten an interesting rise outta the ole mayor. Bloomberg’s exact words: “These are sick people.”
I am here to say that gun owners do not need therapy. But Kudos to the Far Left and their campaign to persuade the American public that 2A loving folks are insane. To bad there are only 215 million privately owned guns America (compared to America’s population of 294 milllion), huh? That’s a lot of crazy people. And to you Stalinists out there: thats a whole lotta comrades to re-educate.
It seems that every time I go to my monthly Saturday men’s breakfast at my church, God always has a message for me that almosts seems tailored for my circumstances at that moment. This morning was no exception. We read in Matthew Chpt 9:18-26 where Christ was teaching when he was interrupted by a Synagogue official who bowed before him and begged for Jesus to come heal his sick daughter. He stops what he is doing and leaves for the house to see the little girl. On his way there He is interrupted again by a woman who has been hemorrhaging for 12 years. He stops what he is doing and heals the woman. He then gets to the house to see a crowd gathered, mourning the death of the little girl. You know the rest of the story. He tells them that the girls is sleeping, they laugh at him, He tell them to get out, and he brings the girl back from the dead.
What I was trying to emphasis here was that Jesus had plans and a itinerary but was “interrupted” many times to deal with other things. How many times do we get angry and frustrated when we have interruptions in our life? Our plans don’t go the way we expect and we end up forgetting who we are and what we have been called to be.
Just last night I am in the car with my son and as usual we are jamming out to some hardcore. The song was called “Hugs and Handshakes” by In Due Time and the end of the song the lyrics say “remember who you were, remember who you are.” My son asks me, “Dad, what does that mean?” I told him, “Well son, sometimes we forget who we are; We forget that we are Christians. We forget that we are called by God to be separated from this world. We are called to be lights in the darkness.”
As soon as I utter these words my face gets flush with embarrassment because not ten minutes prior to that conversation I got angry at a driver who was “interrupting” my speed (in front of my son). I then start thinking about each and every time I sin against God, how during those times I forget who I am and I forget who I was. I was immediately humbled and shamed.
It’s a very convicting four words: “Remember Who You Are.”
UPDATE: CS came up with a neat idea called “Patriot of the Week.” Every week we will highlight someone who we believe to be a Patriot who loves their country.
Jim Broussard, an American hero. After hearing a Reno bar was flying a Mexican flag above a U.S. flag, this angered U.S. Army veteran took matters into his own hands, drove to the bar and cut down the flags in front of a stunned group of Hispanic patrons. He then said, “”I’m Jim Broussard, and I took this flag down in honor of my country with … a knife from the United States Army. I’m a veteran, I’m not going to see this done to my country. If they want to fight us, then they need to be men, and they need to come and fight us. But I want somebody to fight me for this flag. They’re not going to get it back.”
If all Americans had the pride and patriotism that Jim Broussard has, we would be in excellent shape. He defied most Americans passive, non-confrontational, attitude and did what his integrity told him to do. He stood up for his country.
You know he’s doing something right when the DailyKos says this: “I’ve had my dealings with the likes of racists like Jim Broussard before and they share several traits: Ignorance, hate, cowardice, and a sociopathic sense of entitlement to inflict their authoritarian, sick vision of: White America rules!”
