Well, with the State of the Union coming next week and all this talk of income inequality that'll come with it, I found this article to be a good primer. The three types of "Income Inequality" religious extremists.

Soooo, it's not OK to use plastic bags at the grocery store, but it's just fine to require folks like bartenders to wear single use rubber gloves when handling food or in contact with food handling surfaces. I guess washing hands wasn't good enough so landfills will see a large increase in rubber gloves instead. Genius move from the so-called save the planet crowd.
Bad Lip Reading
NFL style.
Battleship Gun On A Tank
Dayum. That's a big ass gun. Meet the 2B1 Oka tank.
This behemoth's barrel was 20 meters in length, meaning that it was 47.6 calibers long (i.e. the length of the barrel divided by the bore diameter; this is similar to the main battery of the Iowa class battleships, which had 16" guns with 50 caliber barrels). It fired a projectile weighing 750kg (1,650 pounds) over a distance of up to 45 kilometers (just over 28 miles).

Two billionaires are having a very public fight over a multi level marketing company that the two have positions in; one has a short position, the other is long. The long position has done very well over the past couple of months and the guy with the short position has lost half a billion dollars minimum. Today, a congressman asked for an investigation of the company and the stock tanked 10 percent.

It fired a projectile weighing 750kg (1,650 pounds) over a distance of up to 45 kilometers (just over 28 miles).
Yeah... one time. And then they threw the tank scrapes away in a plastic bag and mailed it to California.

Economical end times arms list.
Modern sporting rifle. Wylde chambered for .223 or 5.56
Ruger 10/22 - .22LR
Glock 19
a pocket pistol
Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 12 ga
and whatever else that suits your fancy
Posted by: Tobacco Road at January 24, 2014 10:16 PM (4Mv1T)
Before he retired from blogging, Kim Du Toit had a basic list of arms that he believed every household should have. If memory serves, it's as follows.
A proper fighting handgun chambered in a proper fighting cartridge for every adult (auto or revolver, didn't matter)
A proper fighting rifle for every adult
Minimum of one .22 rifle per household
Minimum of one 20 or 12 gauge shotgun per household
Minimum of one full power .30 cal class rifle per household
As he saw it, you needed to fulfill these basic requirements before branching out into duplicates or more specialized firearms, because this basic arsenal would handle 99.9% of the shooting jobs a properly armed household would need to accomplish.
That's from memory, so take it with a grain of salt. But it makes lot of sense.

I think Sig makes a gun where you can switch it between 3 different calibers.
Rifle? Something in .308
Shotgun? Mossberg or Remington.

If your surround sound receiver has HDMI inputs and component (red-green-blue) outputs, and your "three-plug system" is RGB, try routing everything to the receiver and output to the TV. If your "three plug system" is red-white-yellow, buy a new TV.

1. Unless its hunting season, don't wear camo or drive a camouflaged vehicle.
2. Never agree to appear on any TV show about the end of the world and being prepared.
3. Don't go crazy on the weapons locker. Select tools you are comfortable with.
4. With every trip to the market, add a few extra cans or bottled water.
5. Keep house nondescript. Wait until the end times before deploying the razorwire.

As it happens, I'm hitting the range tomorrow myself. Doing some pistol work and sorting out some misfire problems with my 10/22. Put in a new Volquartsen firing pin and a new Wolfe hammer spring a couple of weeks ago, but work has kept me busy. Should take care of the problem.

Gun collecting is a sickness.
After about 7 years I FINALLY bought a receiver for a Garand kit I'd purchased.
Then I saw someone had 1903A3 receivers for a good price. Then I found a parts kit for one too. Well, now I have a Garand and a 1903A3 parts kit that needs building. That's in addition to 4 ak-47 Romy G kits and a Czech Mauser waiting to be converted to 30.06.
Is it wrong to NOT want to be cured?

Peaches, it was pathetic.
Little infidel and I were doing a Sons of Anarchy marathon on a week night last winter. Flannel jammies, hair up and robes on. We were done a little after 11 at night and the door bell rang. My first thought was the .38 but grabbed the bat instead. Opened the door, two young cops wanting to know if we had any problems with some kids playing ding-dong-ditchim. It was so pathetic. The lady who rents the house across the street is a big fat sissy.

I can highly recommend the Glock 19.
Also, you need 3 rifles, one in 22 (I recommend a Marlin 795; you have less options to modify it, but then again the Marlin doesn't need any modifications. The Ruger 10/22 sucks right out of the box, and for twice the money), one bolt action in a hunting caliber (7mm has been available all through the ammo crisis...just sayin'), and one Evil Black Rifle (AR or AK variant) in either .223/5.56 or .308/7.62 NATO.
And a Mosin. Everybody needs a Mosin. (TR, got your email, shame that they only ship to FFL's)
Peaches, congrats on finally getting to sling some lead downrange, I was going to do some of that in the morning but it's gonna be too f'n cold. 
You will appreciate the hat the first time you feel a piece of brass bounce off the brim; I have a nice mark where a piece of brass came down just right to land between my cheek and my eyepro. As far as the shirt...yeah, hot brass in the cleavage will really get your attention...and everyone else's, too.

I LOVE my 10/22. I actually bought it in pieces and built what I wanted from the start.
10/22 action, ER Shaw 18in bull barrel, choate side folding stock with pitol grip.
I had to leave off the barrel bands and top cover and then file away on it, but it was worth it. I bought a $30 scope from Dick's (when I still shopped there) and it is a golf ball killer all day at 100 yards.

Or is a (cheaper) locking steel cabinet a better choice?"
-------------------
Well, a safe is the best choice. I can't afford one, and I have no place to put it anyway, so I got a couple of Stack-On steel cabinets and tucked them on either end of a closet. The lock won't stop a thief with a screwdriver, just slow him down for ten seconds, so I installed "cleats" ( I can't remember the real term) on the sides to which I attached heavy chains along the top and bottom, secured with padlocks. It won't stop a determined thief with boltcutters, but it will foil a casual meth-head or punk kid.

I threw a bit of a tantrum back of course, although I came to the thread late so I don't know if he'll even see my responses.
OTOH my *by far* most lefty friend on FB has been downright understated lately. I especially thought he's absolutely erupt over Huckabee's recent remarks on Dems and abortion. So what nasty, horrible name is he calling Mr. Mike nowadays? "Huckabooboo." OMG the nastiness!!!!!1! ;-)

Get the safe. As long as you mount it properly to the slab or lag to the studs (in a corner is best) it'll foil just about every smash and grab druggie, which is the most likely problem.

That's why I like modern AV gear. Just plug the cable supplied into the thing and it is done. No screwing with oddball converters.
Oh, and I don't like the Ruger LC pistols ... they feel too damned small to me.

If you want to pipe in an HD signal, you need to use the CATV round jack, or have a proper RGB or HDMI port.

The Abos lost. The Maoris fought to a draw.
Posted by: Kristophr at January 24, 2014 11:50 PM
In a sense, yes. Different situation and geography, though. The maoris were, by comparison, extremely organized, disciplined and warlike. The aborigines were were nomads and had much more room to move in. A lot of mythic bullshit has been propagated over time about them. As vicious as the maoris could be, they were a more ... reliable to deal with. The aborigines, on the other hand could turn from placid, to just as vicious as the maoris at any time and wipe you out, if they felt like it. Particularly if they noted any weakness, numbers wise or weapons wise. Hell, they fought and wiped each other out constantly. Maoris were at least predictable and reasonable, by comparison. Aborigines would bide their time, any kind of brokered "peace" meant nothing, when an opportunity presented itself. Then you got speared.

Posted by: Kristophr at January 25, 2014 12:13 AM
Oh, sure. But, the aborigines were not quite like anywhere else. Like, some places, yes... but, not many. If you're talking about who was the harder to quell? The maoris by a country mile, no question. They were tough mofos. But, it was their organization and soldier structure that made them easier to deal with. The aborigines had little consideration about consequences, they didn't think about "tomorrow", that kind of mindset is very dangerous. If you've got a regiment, you're facing a lethal threat with maoris. If you've only got a platoon, you're in much deeper shit with aborigines.

This is how we win: by being tough, by *not caring* if they (especially in the MSM) like us or not, by utilizing our media and media savvy 100%, by screaming just as loud as they do, and by being every bit as cunning and ruthless as they are.
What's weird: in the past few months, I personally have stopped being nice and have been really rough on libs at FB who've personally offended me. I *know* it doesn't always work out this way... but in my own experience, I've found at least a few of them seem to respect me and my views more now.

Dennis Praeger was kinda talking about this the other day. Said if Republicans ever become the majority in the Senate, they should all of the searchlight stranglers dirty tricks to undo all the progressive bullshit before restoring traditional senate rules. Cause dems need to learn there are consequences, and experience them.

To be absolutely clear, they should use the Senate's current corrupt rules to undo all the Progressive bullshit back to about 1912 -- when the original 1890 "purify the government" movement (initiative, referendum, and recall were enacted in California in 1911) turned to utopian demagoguery (17th Amendment was ratified in 1913, making Senators popularly elected). By 1919, the movement was malignant enough to usher in Prohibition.

OK, so you spelled "Califuckya" wrong, and you can't use paper grocery bags either -- they have to be woven from some meat-dripping retaining substance in order to grow your quota of food-poisoning microorganisms.
But that doesn't begin to touch upon the rest of the "Kneel Before Zod" government we have here. I had my car repainted a couple of years back -- the guy had three paint systems in the last five years, because the air pollution freaks kept changing their minds. You can't buy paint thinner, though you can buy paint that needs it. Gas costs more than anywhere else in the country, because there are California-only blends that nobody else makes.....speaking of which, my first car (1979) was a piece-of-shit largely because Ford had to borrow an engine for it that had already been discontinued in the other 49 states in order to get California certified. In addition, if you get a $20 parking ticket or a $50 speeding ticket, it'll be well over $200 when they tack all the surcharges and court fees on top.

Go to Tennessee (greenest state in the Land of the Free). Good business climate, four seasons, no state income tax, good gun laws.
Stay out of Memphis, it's a lost cause. Chattanooga and the Gatlinburg area also have an abundance of liberals, but they haven't been Detroited like Memphis. Plenty of libs in Nashville, but it's still primarily conservative.

Go to Tennessee (greenest state in the Land of the Free). Good business climate, four seasons, no state income tax, good gun laws.
Stay out of Memphis, it's a lost cause. Chattanooga and the Gatlinburg area also have an abundance of liberals, but they haven't been Detroited like Memphis. Plenty of libs in Nashville, but it's still primarily conservative.
If you can stand being a little ways out from the city, look to the south or east of Nashville.

I did a road trip through there last May, and was favorably impressed, but the geography was not quite what I had expected. I was thinking more rolling hills, but there is actually a bunch of flat. I'm looking very closely at Knoxville.
On the other side of the stateline, there is "Santa Cruz in the Smokies" or "We'd be San Francisco, if the Catawba was a bay", but many other nice places.

Knoxville's a pretty good area.
As far as the state's geography (not knowing the route you took), the western portion (where I'm originally from) is the northerly part of the Mississippi Delta; as you go east it gets continuously more hilly until you hit the Cumberland Plateau, between Nashville and Knoxville. After that, you're in the Smokies.

Again, just an impression from driving around -- you can really feel the Cumberland Plateau. You get up on there, and there you are....and it's big -- then you come down off of it and....it's not really hilly. And you get to Nashville, and there are these lakes (J Percy Priest and Hickory? -- I'm going off of muddled late-night recollections), and you're really feeling flat. Down by Chattanooga (we've driven from aunt's place in Knoxville to fish convention in Atlanta) you get some hills.
The thing about hills, is that it can be hot and humid -- but you don't get flooding, you don't get mosquitoes, you don't get structures that rot. And when there's cold, there's microclimates, where you get basins of serious sonofabitch nasty cold, with merely chilly inclines above.

You're misreading the demographics. The whole Dem/Progressive dynamic is based on capturing 51% of a state based on the urban population, then asserting that a mandate for 100% of the state in the Federal arena, even as 49% of the state hates your guts and resents your attitude. Look at http://tinyurl.com/bq9avfb then look at it again.

I am not misreading it. I am paying due respect to the insidiousness of it. When the opposite happens --- when a conservative influx turns a leftist state the other way -- I will lose a little certainty about it, but not before.
Come to think of it -- let's make it easier than that -- when a conservative influx changes any significant group of leftist twits in any manner I will lose a little certainty, but not before.

The first one was annoying because it was the closest supermarket to my home by a couple miles but it had been originally planned to close ten years ago when the same chain opened a bigger store nearby which became the next closest supermarket. I guess the numbers stayed good until recently and now it going away.
But then I learned that two stores belong to a competing chain in the region, including one in my convenient range of travel, are being shut down as well. The remaining store belonging to that chain is inconveniently located in terms how much you'd go out of your way to get an advertised special. (They happened to have an excellent price on boneless chicken breasts this week.)
This is now a somewhat disturbing trend for me. Some might say the market has become more diverse with the entry of Whole Foods and Sprouts recently but both of those places are prices and generally give me the creeps in terms of the smug clouds they generate.

ItÂ’s not so much that those who disapprove of Mr Obama are racist. Instead it seems those who approve of him the most are racist.
