“Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, property, religion, and independence.”
“The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed.”
How many of these morons clamoring to take our guns will be the ones actually doing it? Yeah, not one damn one of them, the Politicians will be hiding, safely protected by armed security. By guns…The anti gun groups will be no where to be found…The media? Will be trying to take pictures and what not…Makes them targets…Just saying..
“A government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they know when a government sets out to do that, it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. They also knew, those Founding Fathers, that outside of its legitimate functions, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector of the economy.” –Ronald Reagan
“See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.” –French economist Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)
After discovering that Russia had alerted the FBI in 2011 to suspicious activity involving Tamerlan Tsarnaev, critics have asked how the FBI could have missed the now-dead suspect in the Boston Marathon for so long. In Russia, they’re asking…
Facebook recently started to crack down on pro-Second Amendment pages, completely removing several including our friends at 556 Tactical and AR-15 News among others. For those of us who use Facebook, this is obviously a bit alarming. After speaking with the owners of 556 Tactical and AR-15 News, as well as re-reading Facebook Page and Ad Guidelines, here’s the situation as I see it, and what I think we should do about it.
Do not disagree. Any kind of training is a good idea!
But!
Screw the First Aid Classes…Take an EMR/1st Reponder Class!! Sorry if that offends you, but I have taught both..Many times..Yeah if you do not have the ‘time’, take a First Aid through American Heart…Red Cross not so much..
But if your serious. EMR/1st Responder is worth it!!
Ratifying the UN Arms Treaty is worse that allowing the fox to guard the hens. It is like unloading a pack of hungry wolves on a herd of fenced in sheep. The outcome is predictable… or at least that’s what [...] …
Another BIG Lie: “As an absolute matter of fact in my view, and I think many other constitutional experts, there’s not a single measure in this package of proposals the president has put forward that in anyway violates the Constitution. In fact, they reflect the president’s commitment to our Second Amendment rights.” –White House Press SecretaryJay Carney
Made up stats: “There are still thousands of Americans that are being murdered every single day.” –Newark Mayor Cory Booker (Booker then followed up on Twitter with multiple corrections: “Just caught myself miss-speaking on ABC. It’s hundreds being killed everyday not thousands. Sorry about that.” Moments later: “Sorry again, officially it is approximately 30 people murdered every day due to gun violence.” You know, whatever.)
Blame game: “I come from the city of Chicago. We know we have had a violence problem there. A lot of it has to do with straw buyers arming street gangs. There is no doubt and every law enforcement person will tell you that stronger trafficking laws combined with universal background checks would make a real difference. People are afraid of the NRA and they’re trading their jobs for young lives in places like Chicago. And it’s a terrible blight.” –David Axelrod
Hollywood hypocrite: “For those who say I’m a hypocrite because I have an armed bodyguard, lets make one thing clear: No one in my employ is allowed to carry a large magazine and NO ONE IS ASKING ANYONE TO GIVE UP THEIR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS…. And to the bullies who will try to marginalize and discredit me by saying, ‘Shut up, you’re just an actor,’ while they brag about what a great president the ACTOR Ronald Reagan was, who threaten me with the demise of my acting career and much worse, I say SO BE IT!” –actor Jim Carrey
Irreverent “worship”: “It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling people back, never forward, forgetting that we are called to be a pilgrim’s people. … The captains of the religious right are always calling us back, back, back. For blacks to be back in the back of the bus, for women to be back in the kitchen, for gays to be in the closet and for immigrants to be on their side of the border.” –Rev. Luis Leon’s Easter “sermon” for the Obama klan at St. John’s Episcopal Church (Somebody get ahold of the IRS and revoke St. John’s non-profit status!)
Revisionist history: “If Jesus were alive today, he would be more inclined to say, ‘you know, I didn’t know it all.’” –Rev. Oliver White on why Jesus was wrong about same-sex “marriage”
“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available,” she said.
The Post said DeGette “didn’t appear to understand” that a firearm magazine “can be reloaded with more bullets.”
Senators have at least become a bit more ‘skeptical’ toward the current gun control offerings, Sen. Pryor has said flatly, I don’t take gun advice from the Mayor of NYC. I listen to Arkansans…
Colion Noir. Lots of common sense and arguments here. Not something the Left wants to hear or knows how to deal with. SO let the hate and intolerance and. yes AND the racism they left plays so well! Smacks Buck Ofama hard…HA!!
Global equities, the euro and oil have slumped after the eurozone demanded that Cyprus tax bank savings in return for a €10B bailout. Cyprus’ government is reportedly considering a tax-free threshold for smaller deposits as it attempts to win over legislators for the levy ahead of a parliamentary debate later today. The publicized plan is to tax accounts of under €100,000 at 6.7% and those above that level at 9.9%. “This is a nuclear war on savings and wealth,” writes Jefferies’ David Zervos.

Have found myself leaning STRONGLY towards Libertarianism…As the Government intrudes into our lives more and more evry day and hammers my earnings for their spending problems..All fail…
– George Will said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday that the Conservative Political Action Conference showed that a strong libertarian streak was growing in the GOP. TheDC’s Jeff Poor reports:
“‘Republicans have been arguing — social conservatives and libertarian free-market conservatives — since the 1950s, when the National Review was founded on the idea of the fusion of the two,’ he continued. ‘It has worked before with Ronald Reagan. It can work again. What I did see at CPAC was the rise of the libertarian strand of Republicanism, which has an affected foreign policy that is a pullback from nation-building and other ambitions aboard that they never countenance from government at home, and a sense of ‘live and let live’ with subjects such as decriminalization of certain drugs and gay marriage.’”
On foreign policy, TheDC Morning is less sure how significant this libertarian streak is. While some GOP senators may “Stand with Rand” when it comes to issues of executive power, when it comes to a tangible issue like Iran, the GOP caucus seems pretty intent on stopping the Islamic Republic from getting a nuclear weapon, even if it requires military action.

“Surprised” and “Sad” Over Lack of Sequester Outrage
“The cuts went into effect Friday night, although they roll out over a long period of time. And yet, I’m surprised there hasn’t been more outrage on the part of the general public.” — NBC’s Matt Lauer to ex-Florida Governor Jeb Bush on Today, March 4. [MP3 audio (0:53)]
Co-host George Stephanopoulos: “Bianna, [stock market] investors seem to be shrugging off any economic impact from the stalemate in Washington, those across-the-board spending cuts.” Correspondent Bianna Golodryga: “Yeah, isn’t that kind of sad?” — Exchange on ABC’s Good Morning America, March 5.

No kidding…They want Black Conservatives back on the Plantation that is the Democrat Hypocritical Party.
And how do you explain so many that are against your ‘gun ban‘ Buck Ofama? Are you only listening to the hysterical ranting of your sheeple? Maybe the Republicans are listening to their constituents? Like they damn well better be!!

And it is only going to get tougher…Especially when you ban them and start trying to enforce such Freedom stifling, Constitution ignoring crap!!
“The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed. When the British forgot that they got a revolution. And, as a result, we Americans got a Constitution; a Constitution that, as those who wrote it were determined, would keep men free. If we give up part of that Constitution we give up part of our freedom and increase the chance that we will lose it all.” –Ronald Reagan
Why Not? Why not what? Car control!! They kill!! More then guns, a lot more!! Cause untold amounts of trauma and the costs on the system are incredible..
I’m sure there are a number of subscribers to Off the Grid who are 50 or over and are still unhappily members of AARP and wish they had an alternative.
Well, there is a good one and it is AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens. I was very happy when I found them a few years ago and I recommend them to everyone I can. They have a website at http://amac.us/ Check them out and see if it’s something you would recommend to Off the Grid subscribers.
Best wishes,
Robert
Dear Robert,
Thank you for your email and I most assuredly can recommend the AMAC for those over 50. They are a conservative organization for those of us who have finally reached the later stage of life. My husband and I are both members. If you’re a conservative and a senior, and don’t want to use your hard-earned money to support an organization like AARP that doesn’t really care about your interests, then go to the Association for Mature American Citizens and check them out. http://amac.us/
Push pull polls? Those are bullshit!
Are they polling stay at homes?
Unemployed?
Those already on the government payroll via employment or the dole?
I have yet to be polled! As is the same with many folks I talk to. So who are they polling?
Are they all urban dwellers?
Rural?
Who?
Plus will these being polled actually get out and vote?
Of course with the Democrats they pull dead people and dogs into the polls..

As we plod along listening to the rhetoric and posturing from the left and its socialist supporters. Screaming we need to “fix” our health care system I ask myself, why? I realize we need to do something, but that something is not to hand it over to the Federal Government!!
Dang it is noisy here at Camp Ripley!! Night time flying practice or some such thing!!
We have the best health care in the world!
How many other Mayo Clinics are there? John Hopkins? Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center? Cleveland Clinic?
How many? I am waiting for your answer which will never come and you damn well know it!!
You think the Government can do a better job? If you do, your so stupid I am surprised you remember to breath!
Case in point or a “personal” experience!
Anyhow I called my darlink wife and she told me about your latest debacle in dealing with life insurance regarding her deceased mother….What a farce. To summarize Dear Mom in Law got roped into signing on with some trust outfit CLA, which she did not need and which all of us told her she did not, but she did and now everything is fubared when a simple will, which she already had would have worked. But nope she signed on with this shysters and all the help they appear to be amounts to piss in a thimble!!
Dang are they landing on the barracks out there!!! Yikes!!
Anyhow darlink wife is dealing with another Life Insurance Company, not sure which scam artist this time, and they told her she needed some number. My darlink replied she did not and was told since it was now IN THIS TRUST she did. So my darlink asked this person, whom was difficult to understand because she had a mouthful of crap, what she should do and was told she needed to call the IRS (Yippee, the worlds biggest extortion outfit!) and it would only take a few minutes. So darlink did, and after much time giving information and answering questions which seemed meaningless to the issue was informed….the computer had crashed and they needed to start over. My darlink said “nope”! As she had to go to work so she could earn money to pay taxes to keep this idiot IRS person employed!!
So you see a simple damn issue involving life insurance and the IRS fumbles that! IRS stooge was probably playing solitaire and not paying any damn attention! Happens to those in government!! Do you ever deal with the DMV(Department of Motor Vehicles)? Lots of efficiency there! Social Security? Where is the money? Medicare? Medicaid? Same question? Where is the money?
So tell me why you want Obamacare?
Blah I am going to try and sleep….if these airplanes and helicopters ever stop trying to land on the Barracks I am in!!
My goal with this blog is to offend everyone in the world at least once with my words… so no one has a reason to have a heightened sense of themselves. We are all ignorant, we are all found wanting, we are all bad people sometimes.
