Terrorists and Babies

Barack (The Chosen One) has signed a half dozen executive orders and presidential directives. The effect of these orders is to close Gitmo, protect the rights of terrorists and reinstate funds for abortion world wide.

This is a sick start to a presidency, and we can expect more of the same: amnesty for the butchers and butchery of the babies.

I'm going to be sick

Yes, elections have consequences and one of the consequences is that Barack (The Chosen One) is president. For now I am part of the minority that thinks this is not going to be all right.

I am sick of the media slobbering all over the place. I am tired of hearing about the parties and hoopla. I see little hope in the change to come.

Inauguration day simply marks the installment of another dumb liberal in the Oval Office--Jimmy Carter II.

Joker's Wild

Barack Obama (The Chosen One) tapped Leon Panetta for Director CIA.

Come again!

Leon Panetta is former Congressman, director of OBM and White House Chief of Staff. He served before and during the Clinton Administration. There is nothing, nada, zip, zilch in his background to suggest he has any competence to be Director CIA.

Panetta is a political hack. That is his resume. That is his experience. He brings nothing to the table regarding national security.

This is a very, very weak pick.

Old War Horse

It was a cold day at the range. A major winter storm was on the way. Of course, I figure I need to take advantage of the great weather (16 above, light wind and damp cold) before it snows.

The guys on the line with me had the usual assortment of shotguns, AR15 rifles, modern handguns. I had a couple of Glocks and a .44 Magnum Desert Eagle. We were all blasting away.

After a while, I pull out my Lee Enfield Model 2A1. Most Enfields are chambered in .303, but the Ishapore Arsenal rechambered their Enfields to .308 (NATO standard). The British .303 ammo is expensive and difficult to find. NATO 7.62 (.308) is available and there are plenty of reloading recipes.

The two guys next to me asked me about the rifle. One of them said, "That looks really solid like it has been dragged through swamps and such." I don't know how long it sat it a storage armory, but ti took me a couple of weeks to get the gunk used to preserve the gun off the stock and metal parts.

Another guy said, "It looked like a real battle rifle." My shoulder certainly attests to the fact hat it kicks like a battle rifle. It shoots a bit high, but we are still getting to know one another.
