Guys:______________ Great discussion on the economic issues. You are both doing very well. Just a note about a couple of things. Here they are: It is my belief that Israel "has their finger on the button" so to speak because the Iranian government has been openly advocating the anniahlation of the state of israel for about 30 years now -- Hitler didn't talk about finishing the jews but for about 10 years. Amajainijad (bad spelling) is simply continuing the rhetoric that Kohemeni started in the early eighties. You also need to remember that the great Ayatolya Kohemeni called the USA the "Great Satan" and Israel the "Little Satan"-- the anti Israel stuff with Iran aint new. Iran is also working on enriching nuclear fuel -- my guess is that it is for fissile material for a bomb. Given the rhetoric and the work; it is my guess (And i believe the guess of the Israeli's) is that it is reasonable to assume that Iran might mean what they say. If i was a responsible Israeli leader, I too, would "have my finger on the button" or at least, prepare for the possibility. It is also important to understand that this policy has the backing of the Israeli populace. The distance from Terhan to Tel Aviv is probably no more than 1000 miles. Missiles travel mighty fast. Think of it as Ohio threatening Tennessee. I would give Israel the benefit of the doubt on this one -- i believe their actions, preparations, etc in regard to Iran are well advised and prudent. We can quibble about this one a little bit, but it's a quibble without any distinction. The fact of the matter is that Iran has, since the days of Kohemeni (early eighties) been fighting a proxy war with Israel and the United States. It started in Lebanon; it's still going on today. The practical result of a "proxy war" is that Iran can deny that they are doing anything, take foreign volunteers to fight the war, and have political and diplomatic cover for their actions. On the other side; Israel and the USA take casulties and diplomatic flack for "fighting an unjust war" against poor underarmed "freedom fighters". The result to Israel and the US is the same--- dead civilians, dead soldiers, and spent treasure. The United States has largely ignored this war (First Reagan, later Clinton); the Israel'is have not. They have been fighting Hezbolla wherever they have found them. Remember, the last Israeli clash with Hezbolla in Lebanon was brought on by Hebolla rockets menacing Israeli civilians. The fact is that while the US has largely ignored Hezbolla (or waged a clandestine war against them where we could), the Israel's have not chosen to ignore them; and for good reason. It is my belief that Israel is justified in any campaign against all those who would try to kill civilians and destroy the state of Israel. The fact is that Iran has been waging war against Israel for about 30 years; using proxy fighters to do their dirty work. Given that truth, I believe that Israel is showing great restraint. You also need to consider that Israel has never started any of the wars they have engaged in since 1948. They have just finished them. The truth is that the only real ally that the United States has in the middle east is the State of Israel. Kind regards, LEROY

Mugster:________________ Ordered 500 of these yesterday from Midway. Thanks for the info; you confirmed my thinking on the "lighter" 223 bullets. We always had very good accuracy with the 52 to 55 grain bullets in our old 223 bolt gun. Thanks again for the info. I'm busy prepping brass now. Will order a factory crimp die for the 223 shortly; as we never used one on the bolt gun (loaded single shot; heavy gun anyway, no recoil). We'll start looking at the heavier 223 bullets (say 75 grain hornady) if they will work thru the magazine. Again, many thanks for sharing your experience. Kind regards, LEROY

Thanks for the info. What bullet do you like for the < 400 shooting? I need to learn all i can to get going. Thanks for the info. Kind regards, LEROY

Congratulations!! Been wanting one of these myself; been doing a pretty good job of resisting --- up to now anyway. They are, indeed, a great thing. Always remember when you pick it up and shoot it; the 1911 was the only ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT for the greatest gun that ever was; the Colt Single Action Army. If it was good enough for the calvay, it ought to be good enough for us -- HEHEHE. It is truly a great thing. Enjoy!!!! Kind regards (and sorely tempted) LEROY

Dear fellow TGO'ers:___________ I need to reload some 69 grain loads for an AR carbine. I have no experience with these type loads. Please help me out with any favorite recipe's for reloads. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, LEROY

I think you are exactly right. The beginning of dealing with everything, both here and abroad, is to quit this runaway spending and give away of "largesse" to every no count constitutent group in the usa and abroad, the easing of regulation and taxation on the private sector to allow for economic growth, and the teaching of the idea that capitalism is good. If we don't grasp this truth, the country will be reduced to third world status econnomically. The way to handle foreign relations is to stand by our friends and strike our enemies. As Popeye would say: "Say what we mean and mean what we say." That means we need to carefully think thru what we decide to do it. It also means to finish what we start. The two abovelisted things are easy to say; but for some reason, hard to accomplish when our neighbors move from next door to become polititians in Washington. That is why it is vitaly important to know the character of those who are sent to the state house to represent us. When you think thru the situation in america today, it's easy to come to the conclusion that about 3/4's of the state house and congress needs to be swept out. We need to get to sweeping; 2010 is close. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, LEROY

When does the next cruise leave? LEROY

Amen!! They are, indeed, a great thing. Close to a ppk without the stupendous price. LEROY

A Glock is like a hammer or handsaw; I doesn't look too good, but it works well! Kind Regards, LEROY ps -- Great job on cutting the tape!! I had to buy mine pre-cut!!

Matthew:____________ I could use some small rifles to load 223. Please drop me a note with the brand. I'll be glad to trade a thousand large postols. I have some Winchester. Kind regards, LEROY

Thanks crnchy, I appreciate it!! Kind regards, LEROY

I understand your fustration with Alexander; i feel the same way. I doubt any tennessee repbulican will challenge Alexander --- i doubt he can be beat; unless he does something abysmally stupid, like Albert Gore SR did in 1968. I'ts truly a shame that the people of tennessee have to put up with a republican senator that is far more like Arlen Specter than Bill Frist. By the way; here is a "real republican" who ran against Bob Corker in the Republican Primary last time. His name is Ed Bryant. Take the time to read this: terryfrank.net Ed Bryant Unmatched in the U.S. Senate Race I don't know if he can be convinced to run again; but he is a good guy. I also like the lady that just stepped down as the head of the Tennessee Repbulican Party, Robin Smith. Kind regards, LEROY

Got the same powder measure -- been using it 30 years or so. Have seen this a few times before. USMCJG's cleaning sugguestion is great, along with the baffle sugguestion. Make sure you lock down the lock nut on the metering screw firmly when you set the measure. Also, keep a close eye on the "head" of powder in the powder reservoir. Try to keep it in the middle third of the measure if you can. Hope this helps. Kind regards, LEROY

Move this man to the head of the class!!! This is a great truth. You are exactly right!! We need to pay close attention to who sits on the local school board and who the superintendent of schools is. Great insight!! Keep up the good work! Kind regards, LEROY

AMEN. WHAT A TRUTH!!! Kwwp up the good work! King regards, LEROY

Brandon makes a great point. Tennessee newspapers are braying about this and sitirring it up because they are socialist in their worldview and owned by large holding companies and families who are East Coast liberals, not Tennesseeans; all married to the socialist utopia anti-American dream crowd espoused by the Dems at this point in history. The newspapers make lots of noise about this because it's a propoganda issue to them. The newspapers partner with the minority fringe groups to take up these idiotic causes with disgusting regularity because it is a political jihad with the most of them. That allows the minority view to have a perceived "giant magaphone" and makes their view an imagined majority status. It's an old trick" "yell loud and often, you may be percieved as the majority." They also lead the childish along who dont know what their rights are; or worse still, dont care. The newspaper presumes to take the "high ground" on every issue and lead the childish along -- they have been doing this as long as newspapers have been around. Never expect the newspapers to do the right thing -- their worldview simply wont allow it to happen. The best way to get even with them is to quit trading with them, and starve them to death. I started doing my part a long time ago. I also believe that in the citidels of lunacy like Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis, and sometimes Chattanooga; the usual crowd: the socialists, the anti-Americans, the non-thinkers, hippies, peacenicks, gutter trash, ect. ect.-- are easily lead around by local demigogues (read that local polititians) -- mostly in city government; and that's exactly what's going on with the gun carry issue. It's all being done by folks to garner votes from their individual constitutiencies. The only way to counter this is by becoming active in your local political sphere. That's exactly what has happened on the state level and exactly why gun rights are being restored in TN. Let's keep up the good work and hold those who say and do these idiotic things accountable at the voting booth. There will be voting precincts where our beliefs will never be accepted; but we need to keep working on them. There are other precincts where we can and have made great strides. Political activism is the most important thing we who honor the Constitution and the Bill of Rights can be involved in right now' because of the great assault on them. Don't worry about the papers, start your own jihad for the truth, be politically active!! Keep up the good work!! Kind regards, LEROY

What a great Father's Day present!! Keep up the good work! Kind Regards, LEROY

Amen brother! We can learn a lot from them. Kind regards, LEROY

Kevin:____________ Lets stir this hornet's nest up again and give me and some others a Father's Day treat. Dont worry about us thinking of you as a "liberal/Socialist". Some of us think you are simply childish in your outlook and incorrect in your, legal, logical, and christian ethical conclusions -- not to mention being a little "snippy". So how about educating us old guys on the the latest attrocity in Pakistan. Here it is: Quote: Originally Posted by leroy Kevin:_____________ Here's a news flash you may want to get to work on.

Its made by man; and men can and are hijacked by other men. You obviously aren't very familiar with Constitutionalism. What some call "civil rights" are actually more accurately called as "God given rights". The Constitution didn't give them to us, God did. I'm not worshiping the law, I am worshiping God BY following and acknowledging the law. kevin: Quote: murdering thugs There are indeed murdering thugs all over the globe. And they are being and should be dealt with. We have them in America. And you know what? They have rights.(how about linking this to the thugs we are at war with -- LEROY) People that are ultimately convicted of child molestation had a self evident right to a trial. If you were accused of child molestation, wouldnt you think it we be important to have a trial? I sure would. That being said, what gives you a self evident right to deny that to someone else? Aren't you a Christian? Last edited by KevinM; 06-13-2009 at 10:54 AM.. I am just an ignorant old man. How about explaining why these guys didnt get a trial or get "mirandized" and why they needed to be? If they didn't need to be; just feel free to say so. I wont rag you too bad. We need to get this settled before the link goes dead. Dont get me wrong; I'm glad they are gone -- its a great day for america and for me personally when these thugs are in the grave; but I need a constutional law and christian education on this incident. Please help me out. Kind regards, LEROY ps -- you might want to work on them manners a little bit -- dont be so snippy and loose with the scarcasm. Didn't your mom talk to you about that when you were a little boy? Tisk Tisk

Amen brother!! Keep up the good work! Kind regards, LEROY

I think the IDF has a "foreign volunteer" group; but I forget what it's called. Evidently several Americans helped during the last Lebanon Campaign. Kind regards, LEROY

How is the trigger as compared to a Glock? Is the trigger itself made of polymer and serrated like a Glock? Kind regards, LEROY

I think you are exactly right. I believe they (the hebrew children) will take out the Iranian nuke production facilities similarly to what they did with Iraq. My guess is that they will use some neat bunker busting nukes to do it -- lots of kaboom in a compact package --. Everybody, including us will squall, then lay back down; being profoundly thankful that it happened. Keep up the great thinking!! Kind regards, LEROY

Great one liner!! Keep up the good work!!! The only quibble i have is the numbering. Reagan won WW3 without firing a shot -- Soviet Union went down. The West (that's codewords for the USA and a few others) are fighting WW4 now against the islamofacist nuts in the muslum brotherhood movement. The great warriors in this battle are the Jews. My prediction is that they will take care of the Iranian Nuke problem by themselves. We and others will stand by, wring our hands, say bad things about the hebrew children, and (if we are religious) say a prayer under our collective breaths thinking the Almighty for these pesky, brave, tenacious troublemakers. The jews will then have pushed back armageddon a few years and saved humanity (such as it is) for a few more years. I say, God bless them ever one!! Keep up the good work!! LEROY ps-- you may find a similar post. my computer or the server must have ate the first one.

Amen!! Let him live if he aint causing trouble. Bet he's a young groundhog if he's running around and dancing. Kind regards, LEROY
