  I don't plan are arguing this point with anyone but is that not what every tax payer is already doing is funding our military? That means all parts of it including the funding of the families of our Fallen Hero's. I give to Wounded Warriors every month and I also sent a donation to Fisher House last week for their efforts to help. Our present administration can find many ways to spend our tax payer dollars by funding rebels in foreign nations all over the world when help is needed here at home. My mother always said that charity begins at home. I believe that with all my heart so you take care of the families of our wounded and Fallen hero's first and then you take care of the poor here and you focus on what this country needs first. Then after you have fixed all the problems here if there is any change left over then and only then do you look at helping a foreign nation with their problems...........jmho

I had to laugh when I read this. I had that same issue with the 450 yards with a  22lr so I made few upgrades and went to the 22 Mag WMR and a good 3.12x40 scope and have not done the 450 yet but I am about to perfect the 350 range with it......... :up: :up: :up:

Gosh!!! does anyone honestly believe this was not planned?  Notice it took place at almost the same time the ACA was to come on line. The Democrats new a year ago that the Health care web sites would not be up and operational and they needed as many distractions as possible going on when October 1 came and the Web site failed with them having 3 years to get it up and ready and they failed. They were able to get most of the country locked down in 48 hours but could not get the ACA website up in 3 years and 640 billion dollars spent to get it done. Has anyone forgotten that this is the most COVER-Up administration in American history. If they face an issue they created and didn't work they will create as many diversions as possible to draw attention away from one of their screw ups.. As far as Obama refusing to negotiate was nothing more than stall tactic.Also, the reason he will not negotiate with anyone of the opposite party is because he does not know how and they will not allow teleprompters in negotiations I don't think. Notice he always designates all of those jobs to Reid or Pelosi or poor Jay Carney. I bet he has ulcers on top of ulcers. That is why Gibbs bailed on him. ......jmho.

Ok so they might kick the can down the road. You fight the fights you can win. I agree that Ted Cruz and Mike Lee would be the men to throw your support behind. Folks are seeing what Obama is really all about this round. They also got a much better look at just how the ACA is nothing but one big lie and a major train wreck is coming from it. I look for it to implode by it's self as less and less people keep getting these very high premium hikes and deductibles that were 500.00 on their old plan are not 6,000.00 on the ACA   As more and more people even people that voted for this change are finding out about what this is really about he is now losing not only many supporters but even many of the far left News Medias are looking more at moving towards the middle and they have began asking Obama the tough questions they would not dare have ask 3 months ago.That filibuster ed Cruz did really got  alot of folks looking a lot closer at the ACA which is a very good thing. Even some of Obama's own inner circle are asking tough questions about the issues with the ACA. His former Press secretary Gibbs has began asking those hard questions of him. With the can being kicked down the road till January and February the Democrats think they have won the war. I think what they have done is just given the republicans time to re group and come the next round is when the Democrats learn that they only won a small battle. Come January is when the actual war will take place. It will be much closer to the 2014 elections and I think that will be the time that the Republicans will take the steps necessary to not only give the Democrats the fight of them lives but it will be the time the Republicans will rebuild their voter base in the American people. I read a lot of the posts in this thread and it seems that many are ready to throw in the towel. Well, I have never been one to throw in the towel until the war is over and not just a battle. If people here love this country as much as I do and they say they do then start planning right now to get all of your friends and relatives to get ready for the 2014 elections. over 131 million conservatives stayed home in 2012 and gave Obama the White house. He didn't win an election. He got a gift handed him. I am not willing to hand the Senate or the House another one in 2014. After seeing the real Obama and the real Harry Reid and the real way the Democrats operate it might be the Democratic voters that stay home next time. I have been driving around neighborhoods in my area and a few months ago I stated seeing election signs going up in yards for democrats. Last week.I actually watched as a man waked from his home to his front yard and take down all the signs and throw them in his trash can. After that ride the other day I noticed a lot of the signs that were up are gone. Now at the same time the Conservative signs are still up that were up and saw a few new ones. The war is not over yet my friends......jmho

Truly a heart warming read and to think this is the kind of men that our President tries in every way to turn his back on and deprive their families of the benefits they are totally deserving of. He would rather send money to Al Quada then give it to our troops and Wounded Warriors. My prayers go out for this young man and his family. :usa: :usa: :usa:

I have not watched it as much as I use to but when 6.8 made his post is reminded me that i had it. It was not a highly publicized video and I have often wondered why. It was sent to me by my Grandson while he was serving in Afghanistan. I took a little time and googled it and was surprised to see it had quite a few articles on it. I guess it may have been released at a time when there were what others may have considered more important news. Thanks for replies folks. I will now continue to watch it more often as it reminds me of our brave men and women in Uniform and how many blank checks have been paid and collected. Also how much they have sacrificed and how much our Government has done not to help them for far to many years. We need to continue to stand behind our troops and if you can find it possible make sure you become a member of the Wounded Warrior program. They are doing a great job of taking care of our troops since our Government can't seem to do it. Also if you cannot become a Wounded Warrior contributor please at least send a contribution to Fisher House as they stepped up to assist the families of the Fallen Hero's until our Government was shamed into doing their job and taking care of the families. I saw an interview last evening with Mr Fisher and he was asked if he got a thank you call from the President for his help and he said No. He said he did get a call from someone thanking him but he said it was just someone from Pentagon but he didn't know who. Now since the Bill was signed by the President to send the money it has not been sent. The Fisher House is sending each family $25,000.00 to help them until the checks from the Government do arrive. Those $25,000.00 checks to the families will not be reimbursed back by the Government because they were sent after the Bill was signed and the Fisher House new that when they sent them. Sorry for the long read.

I consider myself a crusty old man and tough as nails to many things but ever so often something proves different. The post 6.8 made today brought back a video I seldom watch any more because The crusty old tough as nails guy cannot hold up and I have tears rolling down my cheeks before the video is over. I was so touched by 6.8's video that I thought I would share another one. Hope it touches ya'll like it does me.       http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=70Ikj1hZDnw&feature=related

Very touching for sure. Thanks for posting............. :usa: :usa: :usa:

They were made by J.C. Higgins and are very well made and yes there are still some parts around for them. You actually have a collectors Item gun and a lot of folks would like to have it for their collection. You got a great deal on the gun and I would hold onto it because it will do nothing but go up in value........jmho

Ok, I am not one that believes in ghosts per say but I do believe in guardian angels. I didn’t until about 1990.  I think I have mentioned that I lost my oldest son to an auto accident. He had the accident in 1986 and was in a coma for almost a year before regaining conscious but was not going to survive because the damage to his brain stem was to severe and it was just a matter of time. During that time I had met and remarried a wonderful woman that had a teen age daughter. When my 3 million dollar insurance policy ran out of course we had to find a place to put him such as a nursing home that would accept his Medicaid. My wife being an RN knew he would not get the care he needed in any nursing home. Her decision was to quit her job and bring him home and we brought him home. She had Medicaid bring in a home health care agency and equip the room at the house with all the stuff needed to care for him. He was a quad because of his injury and required a lot of care which my wife provided without question and I worked and helped her in the evenings with him. During that time my wife’s daughter met a young man and yea things progressed and in 1989 she became pregnant. We live next door to each other in a duplex I was purchasing. My son was able to speak but his voice was slurred bad but we could understand certain things he said. As time went on her boyfriend worked and I worked and my wife and her daughter(Murieka) would care for my son Doug. Well Murieka had the baby on June 29th 1989  and her name was Danielle and Murieka would bring the baby over while helping her mother with my son (Doug jr) They would lay Danielle in the bed with Doug and he would smile and laugh out loud at her.  Danielle was born with a birth defect that would not show up for about 2 months after her birth. Doug Jr. Passed away on August 11th 1990 in his sleep. He was buried on the 13th.   About a little over a month later Murieka and his boyfriend Ritchie were awakened from a sound sleep buy by a person standing in their bedroom door way. The person was calling out to Murieka to wake up and check on the baby. At first she thought she was dreaming and then realized she was awake and she screamed out waking up Ritchie and both of them were looking at a figure standing in the doorway. The figure said again to go check on the baby and added that she has quit breathing. They both jumped up and ran into Danielle’s room and she was blue and pale and Murieka grabbed her up and began blowing in her face and forcing air in her face and they came running next door and pounding on the door and we had already heard all the noise next door and Margie(my wife was heading for the door and as she opened it up Danielle began crying and breathing again. Once things settled down a little they began talking about the figure in the door way and waking them up telling them about Danielle. Ritchie said I am not sure but the figure looked a lot like that person right there and pointed to a picture of Doug Jr. that was taken a week before his accident. Murieka agreed with him. Dougs appearance had changed a lot after his accident so they didn’t connect it together right away. There was not another incident again for about a month or so. Ritchie and Murieka had gone out for an evening with friends and they had a couple they knew volunteer to baby sit and they also had a little boy about a year old. Once they got the kids bedded down they went in and stretched out on the bed and fell a sleep. About 11:30PM both of them were awakened by a figure standing in the door way calling out for them to go check on Danielle that she has quit breathing. They jumped up and ran to the children and Danielle had turned a soft blue and the girl began blowing in her face and Margie was already headed over because she heard all the hollering and when she arrived she took Danielle and  began blowing very hard in her face and after about a minute Danielle began breathing with a  deep breath and then began crying. They all came over to our house and  now take this into consideration, this couple had never new Doug Jr. of anything about him. The guy Mike pointed at the picture of Doug Jr. and said that is the guy that woke us up hollering at us. About 5 minutes later Murieka and Ritchie got home and they came right over. Now over the next two month is had happened twice more before the doctor ordered a monitor for her that was placed on her every time she was laid down to sleep day or night and when she quit breathing a loud alarm would go off both getting attention and also loud enough to wake her up and s care her so she would begin breathing again. Doug Jr. never showed up again that you could see him but right up until I lost Margie to a heart attack in 1997 she would tell me when he had come to visit. He would move things around that belong to her just letting her know he was still around. After I lost her I would notice small things around the house that were hers that I had kept would get moved. Her hair brush was one of his favorites. I would put it on her dresser and come home from work and it would be on the bed or on the coffee table in the living room. This went on as long as I lived in that duplex. I ended up selling it about 2 years later. Now is he still around? Not as much but I kept her brush and every so often I will get it out of the dresser drawer and put it on top and wake up the next morning and it will be moved from her Dresser to my chest of drawers. Not every time but once in a while. Now with all of this said. Do I believe in actual ghosts? Not really. Do I believe in Guardian Angels? By all that is in my heart, Yes I do because had it not been for Doug Jr. being Danielle’s Guardian Angel she would not be here today and I would not have her and my new 4th great grandson from all my grandchildren. Danielle outgrew her breathing problem at about age 3 and the doctors said that she would have probably be a victim of SIDS  had her parents not remained alert to he problem. They never told the doctor about Doug Jr. because they didn’t want the doctor to think they were crazy…LOL That is my Holloween Story and I’m sticking to it!!!!

  He probably already knew they needed changing and thought he would check out car but you could tell he never hit the truck but came darn close for sure........jmho

+1 on that for sure. He and Jackson are only out for themselves and nothing more........jmho

You can count on FOX to tell the truth when they know it............jmho

You can bet one thing. If NASCAR ever tries that no carry rule they won't have any spectators at any of the races.............. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rock: :rock:

An idiot is born every minute. People need to understand that there is seldom a happy ending in a road rage incident and this idiot was just lucky that the police saved him from becoming a statistic and not just being arrested. I don't care what kind of Club or knife you bring to a gun fight chances are almost 100% your going to lose the dispute...........jmho

Yea, I think they said they had like 130,000 members and last count the NRA has somewhere in the millions of members. If they think they will be able to stand against the NRA they better hurry by the end of the year...........jmho

A bullet is a bullet in any language and justice is justice in any language and this punk met both and it was well deserved.........jmho

Oh I think they do have them. At least the male justices and that last ??Kagan?? Obama appointed. I think she may have some also....jmho

Has anyone given consideration that maybe just maybe the dogs prefer dark meat more than white meat?.............Just a thought......... :ugh: :ugh: :2cents:   Also since the Latino and Mexican populations have exploded between 2004 and 2012  but about 11 million of which about 5 million are in california and it only added 5 more bites to the count. I think the averages have improved dramatically...........jmho

Well if I am not mistaken doesn't Diane Frankenstein and Gabby Giffords husband and about 90% of all the other Anti-Gunners at one time or another admitted that they own guns themselves. I have read where many of them are gun owners. I guess this falls under the category of    "Do as I say, Not as I do."     huh????  I would be willing to bet that most of the Justices on the Supreme Court carry on along with most of the people in Congress when not in Washington with the body guards.....jmho

I was just reading an article about Gabby Gifford and her husbands anti-gun organization and they are at a New York Gun show to discuss the fact that there are no back ground checks at Gun Shows.  Now I don't know about all folks here but I for one have never purchased a gun at a show that I did not have a back ground check done on me prior to receiving the gun. Where do they get their information from that Gun Shows don't do back ground checks. Are they talking about parking lot sales at gun shows maybe? I have never bought a parking lot gun but I do see some transactions take place that way. But with that said a transaction between two individuals would be hard to do a back ground check on that to begin with plus they are not illegal I don't think but I could be wrong about that?.......... :stunned: :stunned:

  Timestepper, you are not a leech and you have nothing to be ashamed of. You have worked hard to provide for your family and you ran into a streak of bad luck and you are deserving of all the benefits you are receiving and I for one will never look down on anyone that has worked hard all their lives and then falls on hard times through not fault of their own. I am glad to you were able to get the help you needed because most deserving folks cannot get it............ :up: :up:

They don't have to worry about anyone going after the Presidential Impersonator. They went there to prove a point and I think they are doing a real good job of that. They went there to show him and the rest of those people in Washington that when it comes to being Americans we are that and more and you can bet the politicians are watching..........jmho 

Yep, the Kiss the Ring tour is over and China is now worried also because they were so stupid as to trust the idiot in the White House to keep his promises to them. That is their our stupidity just like it was the stupidity of so many brain dead people to vote to put him back in for a second term. Blind leading the blind and they all fall in the ditch together and take the good people down into the ditch with them........jmho

To me Gun Brokers has always been a little screwed up and yea. The folks selling guns on there think all of their guns are lined in gold. That is why when you see guns listed that have been on there for a month and received zero bids tells you right off not to bother even looking at the gun.........jmho
