How to Stop Terrorism

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS...... it worked once in our History...
Once in U.S. history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped. It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen. John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison. There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and teach them a lesson.
Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts, execution style. The U.S. soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat. Thus, the terrorists were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs' blood. This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they died as terrorist martyrs.
All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies. The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.
Pointing a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists won't make them flinch.
They welcome the chance to die for Allah. Like Gen. Pershing, we must show them that they won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe has an endless supply of virgins) but instead will die with the hated pigs of the devil.

The Amero? You Gotta be Jokin'

The North American union. The United States of America will become the cream between the socialist, liberal, anti-gun Canada, and the economical dead, crime ridden, abuser of our laws Mexico, Oreo cookie. IN WHAT WORLD DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE!?! And to spread the icing on real smooth, the new currency will be the Amero. I kinda feel like Grover in the book, "There's a monster at the end of this book" where fuzzy little Grover goes into insane fits because we, the readers keep turning the pages and bringing him closer to the monster at the end. I know that's a kids book and not for real, but the similarities are scary when you consider the child-like minds of those in charge of this country, and the monsters they bring out with their ridiculous ideas. (for those of you who think I've lost it, and have no idea what book I'm talking about, have kids and it'll all come together for you)
I guess this is how the boneheads in the big domed building fix the illegal alien problem, make all the Mexicans American citizens, even if they still live in Mexico. Tear down all the fences, fire all the border control agents, Change the national language to Mexican... Wait a minute, that's a full surrender. We should see if that logic would work in sand land, "hey Osama, Al queda, Taliban, and Hezbollah, come on over, you are now Americans, you are welcome here, we'll change our dollar to the walla-walla or whatever you use, and we'll all speak camel." I hope no one in congress reads this, they might run with it.
Well, I guess its not the dumbest thing our government has done, well... wasn't there that time when... no, how about... O.K. maybe it is .

70 Million More Guns…38% Less Violent Crime

Data released by the FBI on Monday showed that in 2005, the nations total violent crime rate was 38% lower than in 1991, when violent crime hit an all-time high. Rates of the individual categories of violent crime were also much lower in 2005 than in 1991. Murder was 43% lower, rape 25% lower, robbery 48% lower, and aggravated assault 33% lower. The FBI’s report came on the heels of a Bureau of Justice Statistics crime survey that found that violent crime was lower in 2005 than anytime in the surveys 32-year history.
If you think I found this on the front page of the Washington Post, then let me be the first person to welcome you back from Mars. This should be overwelming evidence that guns are not the cause of crime, and that allowing citizens to own and carry firearms IS THE ONLY WAY to reduce crime. But just to prove the agena of the anti-gun clowns, they have focused on the 2% increase in violent crime from 2004-2005. Why is it that no level of proof will change the minds of the so called "open minded" liberals?
As usual, Washington, D.C., which leads the nation in anti-gun laws, led the nation in murder, with a rate six times higher than the rest of the country. Neighboring Maryland, where gun control advocates have been particularly active recently, once again had the highest robbery rate among the states, but also tied for the unenviable distinction of “first place” in murder among the states. However, despite Maryland’s high crime counts, CeaseFire Maryland, the local Brady Campaign cronnies that recently released a paper demanding an “assault weapon” ban, was unable to point to any crimes in the state involving such a gun. And that to would be a good reason to find another cause. But no, my home state of maryland will continue to cause more crime with "strong" gun control laws.
I always thought that thinking people found what works, and does it. I guess if what you are is a liberal, you continue to do what's wrong, and just try to keep us sheeple to stupid to see it.

Moultrie Game Watcher 2.1

I've wanted a trail camera for a while, but the cost allowed them to stay on the store shelves. But last year, a cheap, 35mm trail cam was available for about 50 bucks. I am too impatient to go through the film developing process for that though, so I didn't get one. there was a VGA digital cam for about $150, but I couldn't justify the funds just to take pictures of deer. And it was less than 1 mega pixel, so I can only imagine how lousy the pictures would be. So I was stuck looking at deer tracks alone.

Just as with every other bit of technology though, the trail cam got cheap! Moultrie feeders released the Game Watcher 2.1 digital game camera. Its a 2.1 mp camera, with a 30' flash, an internal memory and an SD card slot. The internal memory holds 120 low quality and 25 high quality pictures, but a 500Mb SD card hold 1000 high quality and 3000 low quality pictures. It also does video, but its real choppy, and it converts to still at night.

Me and my son got the camera, with a bag of deer corn, set up our deer ambush. Not knowing what to expect, we checked it the next day, and found it had 7 pictures on it. Man we were excited, I hooked my computer to it and we had genuine photos of 2 squirrels, 3 crows, an 8 year old boy, and a 4 year old girl in some kind of ballet spin. I guess if that's why you bought the stinkin' camera, you'd be pretty excited. But we were sure we would see the 12 point monster we know is back there, we've just never seen it cause we didn't have a camera. The next few days were about the same a whole lot of excitement just to find a few rodents and a Ballerina. But after a few days, Gavin told me that the memory was full, I was of course convinced that my kids decided to play in the woods all day, which by the way does not attract deer, but when I hooked it up, the first picture was an 8 pointer in full velvet, and the following 119 were various bucks and does. I even had some with 4 and 5 deer in one picture. And since then the memory has stayed full, and I have a couple of thousand pictures of deer, raccoons, foxes, and yes, squirrels and ballerinas.

The camera has been a success, and has paid for itself over and over again if you consider the cost of developing 35mm film. I paid about $70 for it as Wal-mart, at that price, there's no reason anyone who hunts couldn't have one. Moultrie has put together a good camera at a good price, and I have the Ballerina to prove it.

Due to the extreme pain in the butt caused by uploading photos, you'll have to look at my last post to see pictures of my future meals.

Bowhunting Starts Friday!

Friday, September 15, 2006 will mark the first day of bow hunting in Maryland this year. Not very momentous for many, but this day also marks the very first day of bow hunting for The Boy. We have our blinds dug out, our deer comin' in, and Gavin Shooting fleas off of dogs backs with his bow. So I hope to have his first deer kill pictured here Friday night. Gavin has dibs on the eight pointer. Wish us luck.

Mama's Hero

What do you do when an unknown dog comes into your yard, barks at you, and doesn't heed your warning to leave (ie. yelling, jumping and clapping)? Unfortunately the answer for most would be to retreat into your house and call animal control. Animal control would then arrive 45 minutes later to find, surprise, no dog, and tell you to call back if you see it again. Well what works for some, just ain't the way it's done here.
You see, I have a son, who is 8, 3 daughters, 4, 2 & 9 months, and a pregnant wife. I will not allow them to be harmed in any way. So I figured that when I saw the dog again, I would go through the ridiculous tribal dance of shooing it away, and when that didn't work, for the safety of my family, I would shoot it. What I didn't expect was for it to come back while I was at the store.
My son and 2 year old daughter were in the trampoline and the dog came back, my wife saw the dog and called for the kids. Gavin said to get his shotgun and shoot it, but she didn't know how to shoot his Stoeger 20 gauge. So my wife brought the gun to Gavin and walked Savannah back to the porch while Gavin trained the gun on the dog and walked backwards to the porch himself. He then proceeded to yell and make a bunch of noise to scare the dog away, but that did nothing and the dog started advancing on my son. Without a second thought, and the safety of his Mama and sisters in mind, he took aim and pulled the trigger, spraying bird shot square into the dogs face. The dog yelped, spun a few times, and ran off. The threat had been neutralized, and Gavin was a knight in shining armor to the girls in this house.
When I got home, He met me at my truck breathing heavy saying," Dad, I did what I had to do." To an adult, this may not seem too monumental, but my boy is 8, he was left with the responsibility to keep his family safe, and he was able to answer the call. Way to go Gavin, your the hero of the day!

What is a Man?

What is a man? Any male over the age of 18? Nope. Any male who can down 12 beers in 30 minutes? Nah. How about someone who sits around on Sunday watching football and scratching his rear while drinking 12 beers before the end of the first quarter? Sadly, not even close. And I dare not say one of the new variety, who carries palm pilots, and blackberries and wears pink shirts to the office all the while trying not to spill his double-soy-mocha-lo-fat-chi-latte-frappuccino with an extra shot of espresso. This guy would probably die of exposure on an 80 degree day if his A/C broke.
No, I'm talking about a real man, a survivor. A man who can live on the land just as well as he can with all our conveniences. One who if lost in the woods, had the good sense God gave him to kill and eat, to build shelter, to find his way out, or live long enough to be found. A man who hunts, (for more than just wall decorations) for his food, and can have the pride that comes with knowing that it was his gun and his wits that allowed his family to eat today. A man is someone who has better things to do with his time than sitting around watching T.V., like teaching his son how to be a man. A man works with his hands, and builds things, and fixes things. A man does not have to call the A/C man to change the air filter in his house. He does not have to pay someone to change the oil in his car, he probably doesn't even have a car, he's got a truck. (just kidding on the last one, But if it's made by Honda, Toyota, Nissan, or the like, or if it's battery powered, I kind of doubt it) A man is someone who can save his family money by knowing how to work on his vehicles, and his home. There's nothin worse than paying someone 5 times as much to do something you should know how to do.
A man is someone who is strong, who can protect those he loves, and anyone else who needs his protection. Someone with a strong heart, who stands up for whats right, and what he believes in in the face of opposition. A man has dignity, and wouldn't be caught dead sitting in a seat while there is a woman left standing, who would open the door for a woman because its the right thing to do.
A man is one who treats his wife with love and respect, while leading his family in the right direction.(Ephesians 5:25) Not one who degrades and disrespect his wife all the while being ruled like a little puppy-dog by her. One who when guys at work start whining about their rulers, (wives) has the dignity and respect for his wife to avoid the conversation or speak good about her, not participate in stupid childish complaining just to fit in.
A man is one who has time to devote to the training and raising up of his children, to teach his boys how to become men, and treats his girls like princesses. A boy's marriage will depend on whether or not he was taught how to be a man. And a girl will probably look for a man like her father, that's good if he's a real man, but if he's like one of those in the first paragraph, well...
What I'm sayin is, I'm seeing way too many males who don't understand that there's more to being a man than what you got hangin'. It's about who you are, and what you believe in. And the trend is sadly going down the wrong path, and it will only get worse. Somewhere along the line, Masculinity, and the pride that came with it gave in to feminism, sensitivity, and Starbucks, and I think its time to get it back. So, to all the real men reading this, it's up to you what your sons will become, be vigilant, the next generation depends on you, and to everyone else, don't spill your coffee.

Targel rifle at surplus prices

In a day of high dollar, super-match-target rifles that are said to put a bullet through the eye of a needle at 200 yards, one would think that only the rich, the powerful, or just the insanely lucky (gun writers) will be able to enjoy a truly fine rifle. Well, I've got some good news for you. Let me introduce you to the Olympic arms K-16. I bought this gun a couple of years ago at a gun show after years of wanting an AR-15, it cost me around $600 which is a lot for me, but nothing compared to what's out there. The real surprise was when I got it on the range. I put a Simmons 4-12x Scope from walmart on the picatinny rail, and put the first 5 Winchester 55gr fmj rounds into a nice little 3/4"- 1" hole. And it's done it ever since. I've now put probably 10,000 through it easy, and the only malfunction was a broken trigger pin after about 8,000 rounds. I have never had a jam, misfeed, or any other malfunction with this rifle.
I have since replaced the A2 stock with a collapsible job, installed a FIRSH handguard, and an Aimpoint red dot sight for QCB work, Or fun, however one looks at it. I was going to replace the trigger because that's just what people do, but the single stage trigger breaks very crisp at about 4 pounds, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I did however replace the grip with a Hogue rubber coated grip, It makes a huge difference in the way the rifle feels in your hand.
I have shot many $1,500+ rifles that didn't shoot as well as the K-16, thumbs up to Olympic arms for putting together such a good rifle, and keeping it close to where real people can afford it.

#5

We're having a baby, well my wife is, anyway we just found out and this will make number 5! Just thought I'd let you know.

It sounds good to me

What happened to common sense? What happened to doing what works? What happened to fighting for what you believe in? As a thinking man, you have to be asking yourself this every time you watch the news, or listen to the radio, or have a political conversation with someone who's mind tilts a little left.
Example:
1,000,000 illegal aliens march in major U.S. cities to protest America's immigration laws. Do you understand what I'm sayin' here, they broke into our country illegally, which by all rights makes them criminals, and then have the audacity to come out in a public place to protest against the government who's laws they are breaking. But what baffles me the most is the fact that there weren't a few hundred U.S. Marshals with a company of Marines to scoop them up and send them back to Mexico. And now we get to listen to the elected boneheads in our senate and congress argue 2 sides of a problem knowing full well that neither side would work. So, its a good thing I'm here to give the answer most Americans wish our government would give.
First, the reason for coming to our great country must be taken away, so from now on, any business owner who is caught hiring an illegal alien will be arrested on the spot and deported to Mexico. No questions asked. He will no longer be a citizen of the U.S.A., and if he ever wants to come back, he will have to go through the legal immigration procedures. Second, Arrest and deport any and all illegals found living in the U.S., because they no longer have a reason to be here with the induction of step one. along with this, we must resend the law that says a child born in America to an illegal in a citizen, They have no respect for our laws, so they are training their kids not to respect our laws either. Step three, now that all of the illegals are gone or leaving, and there is no reason for any more to come, that only leaves people who want to hurt us coming across the border. My solution to this problem; Security through superior firepower, that's right, soldiers, guns, tanks, walls, and more guns. This way there's no feelings to get hurt, no more "hard working immigrants" to worry about, the only ones coming across are bad guys.
So with all the bantering we hear about immigration, remember, its all just political talk unless it sound like this. And no, I'm sorry, I won't be running for public office, Politics aren't ready for solutions yet.

To Protect and Serve

We are led to believe that the police are our "protectors", and we don't need guns in the hands of citizens to keep us safe. Tell that to the family of Detective Vicky O. Armel of the Fairfax county police department and Officer Michael E. Garbarino, Who were shot outside the Sully District police station on Monday May 8th. Now the fortunate thing was 2 officers were able to stop Micheal Kennedy before he was able to do more damage, on the other hand, 2 officers were killed.
The point I'm trying to make is this, what if this nut had his mind set on shooting up a shopping mall, or a grocery store, would the police have been able to stop him after only 2 casualties? No, by the time the police were called, then had to drive to the mall, and set up a perimeter, Get the SWAT team, and the negotiator... you get my point, the only way this could be stopped, is if citizens were armed and willing to stop him themselves. Had there not been armed police officers right there, the outcome of May 8th would have been even more disastrous.
We as citizens have to understand that the police are for the most part investigators, not protectors. They CANNOT keep us safe, they CANNOT prevent random crimes from occurring, and most importantly, they CANNOT keep a bad guy from hurting you or your loved ones, all they can do is apprehend the one who did it.

NRA Light Rifle Qualification

We're coming up on 4 years now that my son has been shooting with me and I've always struggled for a way to make shooting more competitive. He has always been involved in hunting, and pest control, so shooting has had a reason, but all to often we just go to the range to blast away. Nothin' wrong with that, but I've been looking for some direction to take his shooting for some time now. The problem is, he is too young to compete in sanctioned events, and where we live, there isn't much around anyway. What I found was the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program. Specificaly, the Light rifle qualification. You use any safe .22 rimfire rifle, no high dollar target rifles needed. Targets and distances are A-32 target, 50 feet, two shots per bullseye. And A-23/5 or A-31X experimental target, 50 yards, five shots per bullseye. The courses of fire are prone or benchrest, all standing, or 3-position -- prone, kneeling and standing. Body and/or gun support may be used at the Pro-Marksman rating level in all courses, and throughout the prone/benchrest course. And the best part for an almost 8 year old is, the awards, which include a Light Rifle Patch. Blue/burgundy certificates. Medals, medal bars and skill rockers used in all courses.
The Boy loves it, and has already qualified as Pro-Marksman in 3-position, and is on his way to expert in prone/benchrest. If you have the same delima I have, I highly reccomend this program, It gives a level of pride to a skill hard earned, and it can be a bit humbling to one whos head is a little large from the lack of competition.
I would love to hear about any other program that is out there for an 8 year old who can handle himself behind a trigger.

I'm Goin' To Mexico

Here's an E-Mail I got, I think you'll like it.

MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO
David M. Bresnahan
April 1, 2006
NewsWithViews.com
Dear President Bush: I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9 I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy. I know this is an easy request because we already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P. Thank you so much for your kind help.
Sincerely,
David M. Bresnahan

It's for the birds

The other day, Mama and the kids were visiting my dad at his store.(not a strong start, but stay with me) Not sure how it all came about but my wife called and told me that when they were there, the kids were given gifts from Pappaw. Now there's nothing unusual about the gifts they were given, if your part of my family. My girls were thrilled to death with their NEW BROOMS, and for "The Boy", 100 shotgun shells. You would think they all won the Powerball jackpot. (welcome to our world) So with clean floors, and Sunday approaching, it's to the range. Please understand that my love of shooting is one of single projectiles, not scattered bb's. So I was looking forward to teaching my son how to do something I had only done a few times, and years ago at that.
So we pull in to the trap and skeet range parking lot, The boy and I grab our guns and go. I brought my workhorse multi-purpose-deer-bird-snake-coon-possum-trashpikincanine-Mossberg 500. The Boy had his Stoeger 20 ga. There was a sporting clays shoot goin on when we arrived, so we sat and waited for the next round so we could embarrass ourselves together. We weren't waiting long when one of the range masters came over to us. "Yall gonna shoot?" "Yup" "He ever dun this before" "Nope, I'm gonna show em how if we can get a launcher" "Why don't yall come with me" So he took us to the side of the lake, and spent the next 2 hours teaching my 7 year old son how to shoot clay pigeons. Saved me the embarrassment of The Boy seein' I didn't know what I was doin. Anyway, the range masters name is Art, he showed my boy how to do everything from shouldering the gun for trap n skeet, to lead, and blowin em up, which was by far his favorite part.
Overall, he did really good. But all of his training in firearms have been with rifle and pistol, he had a hard time not using his sights. He was trying to put the bird in the rifle sights he had on the gun, which anyone who shoots trap & skeet knows that don't work. I had my Leatherman, and the rear sights disappeared quick. After he was looking at the right picture, he was makin dust.
Now me on the other hand, I was pathetic, if my life depended on me eating quail, my slim 250 pound frame would be no more. I hit...um, lets see, about 1 out of 10. Embarrassing to say the least. I thought since I could blow up clay birds by the hundreds out to 200 yards with a rifle,(that's only one bullet) 15 yards with 50 little pellets would be no sweat. I guess I don't have to tell you I was wrong. But we weren't there for me, it was for The Boy, and he loved it, so I reckon we'll be back, and I just might learn how to do it yet.
But the most amazing part of the day was the time given to my boy by Art, he gave up his day of shooting to teach a 7 year old boy he has never met. That's impressive in my book. And weather he realizes it or not, he made a friend for life in my son with his kindness and instruction. He helped me out quite a bit too. Thanks Art.
