Nail Guns For Peace (from an email)

The dummies in Washington think they are going to take away our guns, so check this out.
I LIKE IT!

They'd NEVER think we'd have NAIL GUNS - and they're concentrating on doing away with the BULLET-TYPE of ammunition!

HAH! I think I'm gonna buy ME some NAIL GUNS and NAILS!!!!

AND, we don't even have to REGISTER them or have LICENSES for them!

HA! HOW STUPID ARE THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND, you don't have to worry about them being CONCEALED!

Just a LOT of good stuff to do with THIS!

Once in awhile something so totally cool comes out that even a guy who doesn't normally even know what he'd like for Father's Day or Christmas would immediately ask for it:

Thank you, DeWalt!!! 

New Nail Gun, made by DeWALT.

It can drive a 16-D nail through a 2 X 4 at 200 yards.

This makes construction a breeze, you can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.

Just get your wife to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back, relax with a cold drink and when she has the board in the right place, just fire away.

With the hundred round magazine you can build the fence with a minimum of reloading.

After a day of fence building with the new DeWalt Rapid fire nail gun the wife will not ask you to build or fix anything else, probably, ever again.

Bears Hall of Famer Dan Hampton Refuses White House Invite

Seen on Yahoo! Sports "Shutdown Corner" - here is the link to Chris Chase's blog post (text of the original post is included below my comments)
Bears Hall of Famer Hampton refuses White House invite

My comments on Hampton's reasons :

1) Makes sense to me.   This White House seems to be pretty good at NOT inviting people who are central to an important event - witness the first responders NOT invited to the 10th Anniversary Memorial service at Ground Zero. 
(and this is the most i've said on this blog about Obama's snub of the first responders because it makes me *so* mad I can't even speak about it)

2) I COMPLETELY empathize with this reasoning - more than once I've had the hypothetical discussion with friends "What would you do if you were invited to the White House".   My answer now (and during one previous administration) was "I respect the office but not the current holder of the office - I'll frame the invitation but I'm not going." 
[Yes, Chase says this reason is "petty" but hey, I said I would frame the invitation. And having "a friend that's a Democrat - i have many - is quite a bit different than "let's go visit the ____ that is doing his dead level best to ruin everything that is great about America."  It is DISTINCTLY different Chris.]

3) Chase & I agree - Hampton is right, Obama should let it go already.  And Chase makes the valid point that inviting other (pre-1984 Championship) teams that never received an invitation in the first place is just as valid as Obama's thinly veiled excuse to have "Da Bears" in the White House.

And here is Chris Chase's original post (after a quick [shameless] copy/paste)

By Chris Chase                                 Wed Sep 28 04:59pm EDT
Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton won't be attending the team's visit to the White House next month. The Hall of Famer told WLS-890 in Chicago that his decision is based on a "personal choice."
President Obama invited the 1985 Super Bowl championship team to visit Washington, D.C., earlier this month. The Bears had been scheduled to meet with President Reagan in January of 1986, but the Challenger disaster forced the White House to cancel the planned meeting.
Hampton gave three reasons for not attending:

1. Wives and children of the players weren't invited.

That does seem like an oversight by whoever planned the meeting. Granted, children of the players are most likely adults by now so it's not like a 5-year-old is getting snubbed, but surely the White House could have pulled out some more folding chairs for the event.

2. He says he's "not a fan of the guy in the White House."

A frequent reason given by those who decline White House invites, whether it be for Obama or any president who came before him. This sounds lame and takes a tremendous lack of perspective. Declining an opportunity to go to the White House and shake hands with the President of the United States because you don't like the guy's opinion on health care seems petty. Does Hampton not have any friends who are Democrats?

3. "It was 25 years ago. Let it go."

I'm sort of on Hampton's side on this one (though not enough to make it a valid excuse for declining). It's not like every Super Bowl team was going to the White House back then; the Bears were only the second team to get the invite. The 25-year-old canceled visit is a thinly veiled excuse to invite the team from Obama's adopted hometown for a visit. What about other championship squads? Where's John Riggins' and The Hogs' invite? The 1974 Dolphins can't get any love?! (And Florida's a swing state, Barack!)

180 Movie - Trailer

From a "friend" on a social media site (not sure how he found me but we both lean hard to the right)

Some of you will recognize the voice of the interviewer - this trailer is for a half hour film that he released September 26 (through non-traditional channels).    And this is not his usual "issue".

You can see the entire 33 minute film here.

I included "politicians" in the tags because a *very famous* politician is mentioned as part of the argument made here.    I would be interested to know whether anybody feels that the references to the past politicain make this a fallacious argument.

(from the email bag) BIRTH CERTIFICATE FORGER COMES FORWARD

(from an email I received in August 2011)
[and] CLAIMS WHITE HOUSE & SNOPES.COM POSTED THE

SHORT FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE HE CREATED

Remember Barack Obama's widely-circulated short form "Certificate of Live Birth" called a COLB, posted by supposed fact checkers Snopes.com, the DNC and even the White House? Dr. Ron Polland, does; he claims he created it. Now he has released all his information, providing what looks like irrefutable Proof Positive evidence that HE, not the State of Hawaii, created Obama's Certificate of Live Birth – the short form certificate that for over two years was cited by the Obama election campaign, his media claque and even the White House to "prove" that Americans concerned with Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to hold office were crazy racists. Those of us who have been demanding an authenticated long form Birth Certificate from Hawaii were, it seems, among those NOT fooled by a fraudulent document. [emphasis mine]

In 2007 Dr. Polland, a computer graphics expert, created a short form Certificate of Live Birth with Barack Obama's name on it, just to show how easily a forgery could be made. He stored this example in an open, online photo sharing program called "photobucket" under the screen name "Polarik". In 2008, the White House claimed they had received an official copy of Barry's short form birth certificate, scanned it and posted the image online. Here's the catch; the link the White House provided to view the document was sourced through Snopes.com, a self-described "myth busting" website. Snopes.com proudly claimed THE certificate was ‘The real McCoy'. But incredibly – the image Snopes provided actually linked back to Pollard's concocted copy stored in his photobucket file. In fact, when you highlighted the image Snopes and the White House posted, the source came up as

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg

Ask yourself, if the White House had received the short form Certificate of Live Birth directly from the State of Hawaii, had scanned and posted it themselves as they claimed, why would their supposedly authentic image link to Polarik's "photobucket " image? Why was there no White House server or government data source as the original hosting site for this "document" image?

ACT NOW – DEMAND YOUR STATE REQUIRE PROOF POSITIVE EVIDENCE OF ELIGIBILITY FOR OFFICE – AN ORIGINAL, LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

If Snopes.com really were the fact checkers and myth busters they claim to be, why would they have "validated" Pollard's "Polarik" forgery?

Here's a fun little fact about the Internet – it is almost impossible to completely "scrub", i.e. remove, something from the web. It is after all a computer program. And as such, it documents everything… including Snopes.com's apparent incompetence and Barack Hussein Obama's fraud.

There is much more to know about recent developments in the long form, short form document fraud as the Obama eligibility scandal unfolds. ACT NOW – AND SEE WHAT MORE DOCUMENT FRAUD IS INVOLVED!

It is VITALLY important that we ACT NOW to protect ourselves from the constitutional crisis, identity fraud, and massive scandal being perpetrated by the man acting as President of the United States. We cannot allow this act of usurpation to continue unchallenged into a second term, and subsequently risk destroying what is left of Liberty, the Constitution and America. The answer is simple, BUT WE MUST ACT NOW!

No more scanned digital copies. We demand that in each and every State of this great nation, every Presidential candidate must provide to the State authorities with full public transparency an original, certified and authenticated Long Form Birth Certificate. Eligibility for office MUST be irrefutably proven prior to being placed on the ballot!

Dies y Seis de Septiembre (Mexican Independence Day)

Yesterday, in honor of Mexican Independence Day, I was wearing my Mexican soccer jersey - the one styled after their 2006 World Cup uniforms.

Since we were headed out the door to a friend's house, I grabbed a green cap instead of my standard NRA cap to "go with" the jersey.  The cap I chose has "U. S. Border Patrol" emblazoned on the front.    When we got to my friend's house another friend said "Wow, you are really sending a mixed message with your Mexico shirt and your Border Patrol hat!"  Before I could say *anything* a third friend said "Oh No He's Not!"

Who cares, right?   The part that is funny to me is that the guy who made the crack about a "mixed message" is a legal immigrant to this country (from another continent).    Also the friend that jumped to my defense is Hispanic (born here in the USA).

I say all that to lead into this - apparently a Majority Of Latinos In Arizona Supported the much ballyhooed Arizona immigration law, commonly referred to as Arizona SB 1070.     I know, the fact that Latinos supported the law didn't get much (if any) airtime from the "Mainstream Media" but then again, the "MSM" also seemed to neglect to mention the fact that this law basically supports existing Federal regulations.

This is not to mention the fact that, considering everything my buddy from another continent had to go through to get here, I would think he would be vehemenantly opposed to illegal immigration and acutely aware of the fact that people who do not go through the proper channels are breaking the law.

True Colors

Ron Paul says some things that make sense BUT at the GOP debate on 9/12/11 he really let his true colors come out.   (I don't know whether his statistics about the rate that Al-Queda is attacking "American interests" are accurate or not)     He was apparently trying to slide thru with the same song he has for years that "we shouldn't be spending so much money on wars overseas" and Sen. Rick Santorum held Ron Paul's feet to the fire.   You can see in the clip below that he receives a smattering of applause on his point that "how would we feel if China occupied our cities?" but keep watching.  Santorum starts at about 1:55.    And if you listen closely to Paul in his rebuttal of Santorum, he misquotes what Santorum said.   Santorum said nothing about "the whole Muslim world" - strawman argument (busted).   I also get the feeling from this video that Ron Paul is NO friend of Israel.
