  1. Riot! I'm working 60 hours a week to put food on the table and a roof over my families head. I ain't got time to riot.
  2. That's why the media was on Trevon Martin's side. They get the black people all pumped up and then the verdict is Not Guilty and they get riots to cover. It's all about ratings. Without conflict, the media would go bankrupt, so they create their own conflict.  There is no justification for assaulting a person and George was attacked. It should never have come to trial but the media has been spinning this like a top. Twisting the facts and squeezing the emotions out of people. It makes me sick.
  3. You will find a good job. Never give up, Never surrender.
  4. Good advice for all! Trevon was at that age where he had the body of a man and the mind of a child. The whole affair was a clusterflop. There is only one person alive who knows what really happened.
  5. My best handguns? Colt 1911 Government. Springfield XD-45, CZ-75 SP-01, Glock 19 Gen4. I just got back from the mall with my wife. I was not carrying any of those handguns. I was carrying a Smith and Wesson model 36 3" in nickle with a square butt grip loaded with Glazer silver dots. Why? Why not?
  6. In an otherwise excellent Western. How many times does Kevin Cosner shoot his six gun? You get SIX SHOOTS! Then you have to reload, which takes all day in a single action Colt. Not to mention it seems to take a half second for the bullet to get from the barrel to the water trough 30 feet away. That's 60 feet per second.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq3zjTmVLbM
  7. That's the old Greatful Dead trick. It's been around since the 80s.  They have the sign "Drug Checkpoint 2 miles" right before an off ramp. Anyone who pulls off the exit gets searched. If you keep driving like they don't stop you. They started doing that at Greatful Dead concerts back in the 80s.
  8. Tha kind of helps explain how many young liberal zombies blame Southern White People for everything bad in this country. Now they are talking trash about southern cooking and how unhealthy it is (That makes me mad!) . I blame the media and the stupid people of America who believe anything they say.
  9. William Taylor Bradley served in Co. B, 7th Tennessee Infantry. He walked 106 miles from LaFollette, TN to enlisted in Sumner County with his cousin on May 28, 1861. He was wounded in right arm and captured at Gettysburg in Pickett's Charge. He was met at the stone wall near the Angle by one of his brother-in-law, William Petrie, a member of the 149th PA, captured him. He was sent to a prison hospital ship in New York Harbor and exchanged. He returned to the 14th Tennessee, and would be wounded severely in head by minie ball at Petersburg, VA. His right eye was also shot out. He was again captured and paroled from hospital at Petersburg when Lee surrendered at Appomattox. He returned home to find his sister, Mary Violet Bradley-Petrie, a widow with small child. She would marry William Taylor Bradley's best friend, Henry Thomas Williams, who was a sergeant in the 7th Tennessee Infantry. He too, was captured in Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg sent to Ft. Delaware. He was later exchanged, but was captured at Hatcher's Run, Va., April 2, 1865, then sent back to Ft. Delaware, then to Point Lookout. He was paroled June 21, 1865.
  10.     No. I'm too big, too old, too slow and have had no training in knife fighting.  I recon a real knife fighter would make short work of me. 
  11. I am a whitewater kayaker and we camp whenever we paddle. NO CELL PHONES! I like it! I hate it when I am sitting around a campfire and some Schmuck pulls out a cell phone or other electronic brain sucking device. The campfire is a tradition and electronic light boxes are the devil. I make it a point now to tell everyone that if they want to sit around my campfire, they will have to leave their "light box" behind. A campfire is for people to talk to each other, express ideas, tell stories, tell jokes. When people get to the point when they cannot do without their "light boxes" then we are doomed. DOOMED I SAY! :pleased:
  12. Nobody can live their life without breaking the ten commandments. I would hate to tell you how many I've broken. Jesus came down to show us the way and to die for our sins. To show grace and forgiveness to those that follow him.
  13. Hey Mickey, you're so fine.   You're so fine, you blow my mind.   Hey Mickey. :koolaid:
  14. This book is a treasure trove of information about the Army of Tennessee. It's not a good read at all, but it's first hand accounts of day to day camp life. How they fed themselves, sheltered and moved. These are stories that may have been lost forever. I need to share these tid bits with someone.   They buried some cannon barrels at Camp Dick Robinson in Kentucky, in an apple orchard, so the Yankees wouldn't get them. They never went back to dig them up, being smoothbore Napoleons, they are made of brass and won't rust. Are they still there?   A farmer came up one day to pick up his son, who lied about his age to join. The captain gave him his boy back and they went home.         Being a volunteer army, the officers typically did not punish the men for disciplinary infractions by torturing them or humiliating them.  The men would accept being on work details, they would accept being shot but not being hung by their thumbs. The union army (Yankees) had no such restraint. Union soldiers suffered severe tortures and humiliating punishments.   The writer lamented that the worst death a soldier could suffer was dying in a hospital of the fever or disease. He said those were the real heroes.   He also goes in to great detail of the negro "servants" that went with the army. If you were a private and you owned a slave, he would have to do what you told him. You, as a private, had to do what you were told, but officers and NCOs could not give your slave any orders. These black men were never documented so there is no telling how many served with the Confederacy.   Artillery men were sometimes ordered to leave their guns and follow the infantry in an assualt so that when they capture enemy cannons they could man them and use them against the enemy. They would be unarmed during the attack.
  15. I'm reading a book called "A History of Lumsden's Battery, CSA" which is a compilation of notes and stories written down during a 1905 reunion. They mentioned what a treat it was to eat Biled Cat (Boiled Cat). You roll out biscuit dough 1/4 thick, then cover it with peaches or apples and brown sugar, lay another layer of dough on top and roll it up into a log, then wrap it with a linen cloth. Boil it in water until done, then remove the cloth and slice it like bread and add sugar and butter. I figure when you remove the cloth from the boiling water, it looks similar to a cat. So far they do not mention eating a cat.     This is something I have never heard of and just thought I'd share it.
  16.     The silence coming from American Muslims is deafening. I figured they would be speaking out against suicide bombers killing innocent men, women and children or killing little girls for going to school, but they are silent.  It doesn't set well with me..............
  17. Is that a Tick on the blade?   That is a fine blade though.
  18. I bought  CZ-75 SP-01.  Just taking it out of the safe for a day at the range makes me happy.  It is as fine a handgun as I have ever fired.
  19. The painting by Norman Rockwell speaks for itself.
  20. You hit the nail on the head. Keep the masses numb and they won't notice when their individual rights are gone, then they won't care.    The Colorado state motto : KMPH KMPH....DUDE...KMPH KMPH.....HERE....
  21. Why is it that, all of the sudden, gay people have the moral high ground?  Some basketball player comes out of the closet and he's all over the news and the president of the United States comes on TV and congratulates him for smokin a pole.  It's like being Gay is tantamount to sainthood.  I have a message for you, gay people are justed as sinful as heterosexuals. We all deserve to be treated equally. The president never called me for fathering a child.....I have no problem letting all boys join the BSA. 
  22. It just depends on how much of a mess you want to clean up. If you shoot a guy and he runs out of your house to bleed, that's a plus. If you blast a guy at close range with a self defense 12 gauge, there's going to be a mess. You won't be able to clean it up until the police finish their investigation, by then everything will have started to congeal. Your home will never be the same....but you will be alive! :up:   I prefer a Remington model 870 (nothing fancy) and number one buck shot. Keep your .40 too.
  23. There are 50,000 new laws in this country every year. Sooner or later we will all be criminals and have no rights. The "Po-Po" will be able to pick us up any time for any thing. Freedom and Liberty will be something we read about in old history books, if they don't burn them all.   Don't get me wrong. I am not condoning driving drunk. Driving drunk is irresponsible and can get people hurt or killed. Becuase I carry concealed I cannot have any alcohol in my system at all.  If I drink at all it will be one or two before diner.
