I’ve never heard such marches when Suddum Hussein was killing his people. More than 1000,000 people perished under Suddum’s rule, but there was no protest in the west against the dictator. King Fahad in Saudi Arabia wept out the entire Shiite village in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia , also there wasn’t protest. Why there is no protest in the west demanding to stop aiding the president of Egypt, King of Saudi Arabia, and other world of fascist. I’ve never heard such marches protesting against Iran when publicly outraged the world by its leader rhetoric’s to wipe out a legitimate state from the map. Have you ever heard UN complaining to Saudi Arabia. Why the women can not drive a car in Saudi Arabi, while their men are filled in London’s Bar, and Go , go dancers.? War is wrong, but we have leaders are teaching our children , telling our men and women to kill the infidels. Have you read an Arab newspaper lately? By the why It is government controlled. You westerns I envy you. You have a right to protest even for us, but I don’t have that right. Arabs don’t enjoy that luxury. r.hussein This was from the Yahoo discussion on todays article about peace protests to mark the anniversary of the war. You want a hot fight, go visit that discussion! Here is a troop replying to the liberal, "I hate the military", "I hate Bush" types on that discussion thread... If you don't support this war, then fine. When you get gas, tell them you wanna pay $10 per gallon not $2.50. And while you're there tell the clerk how you must enjoy seeing/hearing about a ruthless tyrant who had his own people tortured and killed. When go to sleep tonight, make sure you have someone awake and armed to watch over you. That war took a man from power who could've easily tooken over his neighbors and caused that $10 gas, took power from a man who had his own people tortured and executed, a war that is not at your doorstep because troops are keeping it away from you. There are people who have wanted you dead long before this war so think about how your little peacnik arsch is benifitting from this. Get a damn clue. ALREADY WE all are neck-deep IN YOUR BUSHWIPES STUPIDITY. $400 BILLION WASTED!! PROYECTED TO BE OVER $1 TRILLION! KEEP THROWING MONEY AT IT, BUSHWIPES!! IT WILL ALL GO AWAY

I have USAA for car insurance and banking. They are for military and ex-military, and their families. www.usaa.com. I highly recommend them. My wife started "My Web Bill Pay". You never have to guess when something will be paid, and it will even mail checks to individuals. All this is free. No postage either. I recommend it!

Their pick was the Springfield service lightweight bi-tone .45 acp nol. PX9104L. They didn't like S&W's 1911SC no. 108289 due to poor sights and complicated assembly.

They didn't like the sights on the S&W M317-2 Air Lite no. 160222. They didn't like the S&W M317-2 Hiviz no. 160221. Sights were not to their liking either. They did like the Taurus M94B2UL.

I shouldn't have laughed, but I did anyway. When I lived in Shreveport (Air Force) I could never tell if the patients from Lousiana had a stroke, or if they normally talked that way.

Pretty stout for cowboy loads, wouldn't you say? Yeah, I can see where .45 in an 1851 would make metal too thin.

Why would this happen? Bad metal? Cimarron needs this brought to their attention if they don't want to be in court. Is this one of those Mason conversions? I have seriously thought about buying one of them.

"You and I must live within our means, but Washington politicians act as if they have absolutely no responsibility to do something as basic as paying their own way—to make sure they don't spend more than they have, confident that somebody else will foot the bill when the party ends." —Rebecca Hagelin "Our government today is larger than it ever has been in history. Spending has grown more in the past five years than any time since Franklin Roosevelt was in the White House. And our leaders in Washington have created new entitlements for the first time in decades. Lyndon Johnson would be proud." —Steve Forbes "Once born, a government program is nearly impossible to kill. That's mostly because politicians are spending our money and not their own." —Cal Thomas

I got no response to my email to the Minutemen to request a repeat of where to go to get an analysis of where the buck goes. I don't give to organizations that do not eagerly reveal their overhead, so I cannot recommend the Minutemen.

Might be safe, but it won't taste good.

Ty, someone tipped me off, and I can't remember who it was.

Have you seen them selling the 91/30's with a plastic stock as C&R's? Officially you can't do it, but they do! I know I've seen something else modified and sold. I think it was the "California legal" Yugo SKS's.

She's a great woman. She's been a bit cranky lately, but I can be that way too! Thanks.

Well, that's how us hicks think in the middle of the country. About honest Abe- the truth is the truth, and that wasn't the first publication recently to discuss the wisdom of Lincoln. He was a great, but failing man, just like all of us. Brokeback- if and when you have kids you might understand why I hate the film. I don't worry about me, but I do worry a lot about what media and culture does to the minds of my girls. I'll fight it. Uncle is Ty, and I told him I'd leave that back door open to him. Back doors are for family, after all.

Think of Provost Marshall like your county sheriff. Fritz, you are right. You know what? What I teach on my own time to the local school system WILL NOT be any of their business!

Ah yes, the Academy Awards gala—that annual confab of Hollywonk glitterati promoting silly hair and partial wardrobes—has come and gone. In its wake, there is good news and bad news. The good news first: Despite the ignorati, er, glitterati balloting for the best films of the year, the only votes that really mattered were those Americans cast at the box office. In Hollywood's estimation, the "Best Picture" nominees were Brokeback Mountain (26th), Crash (49th), Munich (64th), Good Night, and Good Luck (89th) and Capote (100th), in order of each movie's box office gross—in other words, America's opinion of these pictures. In all, Hollywood's Fab Five grossed $235,643,912 and averaged $26.3 million in profits. On the other hand, the top five picks according to the rest of America were Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, The Chronicles of Narnia (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe), War of the Worlds and King Kong. These films grossed $1.41 billion and averaged $125.4 million in profits. In fact, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a film based on one of Christian writer C.S. Lewis's Narnia books, grossed more than all five of the Academy's nominees combined. Film critic Dr. Marc T. Newman notes, "Instead of fretting over the agenda of Academy Award-nominated films...we should pay closer attention to the vote that really counts. The election that gets the attention of studios is the one that occurs at the ticket booth. Eighty percent of this year's Best Picture nominees are rated R, but 90 percent of the top-20 grossing films were rated G, PG, or PG-13. Many of those films opened opportunities to talk about virtues, the darkness of sin, and the importance of family and sacrifice." Indeed, when asked about top-grossing films versus nominated films, Academy spokesperson Ms. Leslie Unger responded, "What we do and how our awards are determined has absolutely nothing to do with how a film does in terms of box office." "I'm proud to be out of touch." —George Clooney Apparently, George Clooney was right on the money when he declared to his Academy colleagues, "We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while. I think it is probably a good thing... I'm proud to be out of touch." Fortunately, every once in a while, Hollywood and the rest of America concur on a film. Some major box office hits have been selected by the Academy for Best Picture. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, based on the series by C.S. Lewis's Christian colleague, J.R.R. Tolkien, was a major hit in 2003 and swept the awards, winning all 11 of the categories for which it was nominated. Of course, that is not to suggest that all box office hits are great movies (Titanic) or that all low grossing films are not (The Patriot). Clearly, timing and marketing are major factors in a film's success. Unfortunately, in a year like the one just passed, in which a major film promotes Hollywood's favorite cause celebre, gender disorientation, a large cadre of Academy members invariably tout that film above all others. This year it was Brokeback Mountain, which, much to the shock and dismay of Hollywood's cultural fascists, lost out to the film Crash. Heterosexual promiscuity and marital infidelity are passè. So, why Brokeback Mountain? For Hollywood's fashionable elite, promoting heterosexual promiscuity and marital infidelity is passè—those subjects are already prevalent in theater and TV entertainment. Instead, for the past decade, the glitterati have been advocating for the normalization of gender disorientation pathology—the promotion of homosexual relationships as equivalent to those ordained by the laws of nature (not to mention every religion of the world). Amazingly, Brokeback did not win Best Picture. Joe Solmonese, president of the so-called "Human Rights Campaign," the nation's largest homosexual-advocacy group, said, "I was certainly disappointed, but I would not trade that Oscar for all the positive conversations [about homosexuality] this movie spurred." (Surely no pun intended.) Jennifer Morris, co-director of the San Francisco International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgendered Film Festival, concurred, "That's the best thing about these films... This really was a groundbreaking year." Entertainment is the most effective means of ideological indoctrinating. On that note, here is the bad news: entertainment is the subtlest and most effective means of ideological indoctrinating. It creates a psychological opening through which cultural messages bypass the intellectual filters that arrest most input for critical analysis. Because the context for these messages is "entertainment," they get a free pass into the mind's cultural context, where they compete, at a subconscious level, with established ethical and moral standards. Those at greatest risk for this form of indoctrination are adults, whose behavior is strongly characterized by their emotions (you know who you are), and all children. If emotive adults are not constantly vigilant about screening ethical and moral messages from TV, theater, music, books, magazines, infotainment programs, etc.—and deliberate about evaluating that communication—they risk having these messages not only encroach upon, but, over time, actually displace the source code for wholesome values. Adults notwithstanding, this point cannot be emphasized strongly enough: Children, who do not have the sturdy character foundation that only time and good parenting can provide, are at very high risk of indoctrination through entertainment media. The only means of avoiding such indoctrination in children and highly emotive adults is to avoid exposure to entertainment media with harmful messages. Of course, for emotive adults and older children, the purposeful vetting of challenging entertainment messages with the deliberate objective of intellectualizing them—in effect, shuttering the emotional window into the subconscious—is a useful means of strengthening one's filter on such messages. Many entertainment consumers don't filter critically what they see, hear and read. At the Academy podium last Sunday, one of the glitterlings professed, "Art is not a mirror to hold up to society, but a hammer with which to shape it." Unfortunately, far too many entertainment consumers lack the ability to filter critically what they see, hear and read. For them, no hammer is necessary. (Editor's Note: Speaking of the podium, for your consideration, we commend for your reading an essay from our colleague Dennis Prager, entitled "The Academy Award speech we should have heard") Quote of the week... "The Clooney generation in Hollywood is not writing and directing movies about life as if they've experienced it, with all its mysteries and complexity and variety. In an odd way they haven't experienced life; they've experienced media. Their films seem more an elaboration and meditation on media than an elaboration and meditation on life." —Peggy Noonan On cross-examination... "What really enrages the Hollywood left is the realization that, more than any other group in our society, evangelical Christians—who now constitute the largest voting bloc—stand in the way of its political agenda: abortion on demand, a contraceptive culture, erotic indoctrination masquerading as sex education, universal day care, the complete societal acceptance of homosexuality and hate-crimes legislation that criminalizes religious speech. By attacking Christians, Hollywood is advancing its agenda... Over the past 40 years, Hollywood has been primarily responsible for the rapid degeneration of our culture. Modern cinema is filled with violence, sadism, sex at its most animalistic, crudeness, nihilism and despair. If Hollywood wants to treat Christianity as the antithesis of all it holds dear, Christians should feel complimented." —Don Feder Open query... "While most of what is offered as children's programming at the movies and on television is wholesome in its innocence, it is also true that even here, even in the programming produced for the youngest of the young, there are cultural land mines everywhere... First there's the violence... There is the ever-present 'potty humor.'... Euphemisms for obscene language are also prevalent... And there's sexual content, too... All of which begs—screams—the question: Why? There is no market demand for this. It is clearly out of bounds, offensive and dangerous. It shatters the innocence of childhood deliberately. And yet there are people out there writing these scripts. There are people—not companies, people—producing this garbage. And there are people distributing it with the goal to reach, and influence, as many millions of little boys and girls as possible." —Brent Bozell

I try to be happy, but the last week has been trying. I'm really mad. We at the hospital had a gun safety and gun lock committee, a pallet of free gun locks, and guess what? Men who shoot and hunt, as well as a mudslide of beaurocracy have shut us down. I'm furious. The gun club on Ft. Hood claims only they have the reverend before their name, and only they can teach gun safety to schoolkids. There's a claim that the NRA would be "all over this". There's a claim the Emergency Nurses Assoc. is anti-gun- lie. The JAG guy, a retiree is a hunter and a hyperactive, self-important person who is bothered by our requests as to the status of the so-called issue of whether it is legal to have been given a pallet of free gun locks by Operation Childsafe, via a Dept. of Justice grant. Bull crap-ola! The safety queen and Provost Marshall say it is illegal to have gun locks in our storage room. The boss nurse says no, the Hospital Cdr. says yes, but hasn't gone to the trouble of writing it down, so it is still no. I'm fed up with having all these people with their fingers in the pie. It is none of their business. This fear of legal liability is crap. Some days I've had it with the Army, and this is one of them. The, "Oh, we can't do this unless we get the blessing of x, y, and z", because we represent the Army is hogwash. I'm ashamed to be associated with the complainers from the Ft. Hood gun club, as well as our hunting JAG officer.

OK Ty, where's back porch you done snuck into?

Man that is funny!

Alzheimer's is such a scary disease.

God was merciful to me. The computer education to get us through next week JUST HAPPENED to be offered today! So I can now survive next week.

I'm using shortening over bullet. I could try using the Oxyoke (I think) felt wads.
