More Ballistic BS

I recently read an article at strategypage.com that stated that the U.S. Army is going to re-barrell their 7.62NATO M-24 sniper rifles to fire the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge. According to the geniuses who came up with this idea, this will provide 50% greater effective range. Upon reading that statement, my bullshit detector not only went off, it almost exploded. This is a typical example of a "fact" pulled directly from someone's ass and then waved around and defended as a scientific certitude.

Just so everyone is on the same page the 7.62NATO/.308 Winchester and the .300 Winchester Magnum are both .30 caliber(.308) cartridges. This means that they fire the exact same projectiles, any bullet that can be loaded into one can be loaded in the other. The only ballistic difference is that the .300 WM propels it's bullet slightly faster. Assuming the same bullet weight and type the .300WM pushes it out 400fps faster than the 7.62NATO/.308. This velocity difference remains the same no matter what weight or type of bullet is used. By the way, all of the ballistic facts I'm using were extracted from my Sierra reloading manual, NOT a lower body orifice.

For comparison purposes I used the .30 caliber 180 grain boattail spitzer point bullet. According to my well worn Sierra manual, this bullet fired from the .308 Win. , leaves the muzzle at 2600fps (maximum load) and fired from the .300 Win. Mag, leaves the muzzle at 3000fps(maximum load). Remember now, according to the Army "experts", this extra 400fps in velocity equals 50% greater effective range.

What does "effective range" mean? Glad you asked. It means the range where the bullet no longer has enough velocity to deliver a lethal blow to a man. What is the minimun velocity required to deliver such a blow? Glad you asked. Some experts say 400fps others say 600fps and still others say something in between. For our purposes it doesn't matter, we are concerned with the DIFFERENCE between the two cartridges which stays the same no matter which minimum velocity is used. I used 600fps in order to save myself some calculating. Using the Sierra ballistic table I tracked the velocity loss for both cartridges down to the lowest number above 600fps. Here is what I found.

At 1800 yards the bullet fired from the 7.62/.308 Win. is moving at 628fps, if I took it to 1900 yards the velocity fell below the magic 600fps. Because I'm lazy I figured everything in increments of 100 yards, this makes the maximum effective range of this cartridge 1800 yards. If the Army "experts" are correct, the .300 WM will be effective at 2700 yards. Not quite. According to Sierra's ballistic data the "SUPER DUPER BAD GUY FLATTENING .300WM is effective out to a whopping, wait for it, 1900yards. Keep in mind folks, that this difference in effectiveness only comes into play at ranges past 1800 yards. At any distance under that, where 99% of sniper shots are taken, there is 0% difference in the effectiveness of these two cartridges.

Why do I care? Glad you asked. I'm weird in that I prefer that my "experts" actually know stuff. Oh yes, and there is the $4000 per rifle that the Army is going to spend to make this "improvement". The bad news for the Army sniper is that he's going to get a rifle with significantly increased recoil and noise, and negligibly increased perfomance. The good news is, due to the bulkiness of his new ammo he won't be able to carry as much of it.

Note to those who want to get REALLY technical: Yes the faster bullet has a slightly shortened flight time thereby VERY slightly reducing the effect of a crosswind. I maintain that this minor advantage is offset by the loss of the 7.62NATO/.308 Winchester's inherent accuracy.

Damned Lies

For the record, there is absolutely no truth to the malicious rumor that all the Archduke and I do is drink beer and shoot guns. Sometimes we dance.

Here's looking at you

If you gaze upon this photo for 5 seconds you will know the feeling I get when I think of the current administration.

Simple, Handy, And Under The Radar

Recently, while scouring the local pawn shops for bargains, I aquired an old "Springfield Arms" side by side 12 gauge.(not the one pictured above) The old girl was actually made by the Crescent Arms Company sometime in the 1940's. Back then Crescent Arms made a lot of utilitarian "farmer guns" under a variety of names and mine is one of them. The previous owner had allowed the stock to get loose and quite a bit of filth and some rust to accumulate. This same genius had removed about 2 inches of both tubes. I assume he used a hacksaw but from the look of the wound it could very well have been done by a grizzly bear with steel teeth. Anyway, I tightened the stock, cleaned it up, and had a gunsmith trim the tubes to 21 inches and install a brass bead. While she still isn't much to look at she does have some nice wood and everything works fine.

Now to the interesting part, this handy little shotgun with twin cylinder bore barrells will put 6 of 9 00buck pellets in a man size target at 25yds and if that doesn't impress you, it will put 3 of 9 in the same target at 50yds. That's right 50 yds! Kingselfish and I were also able to quickly and easily hit a man sized target in the vitals with a slug at 50yds using only the bead sight. After our shooting session I think I can safely say that bad guys should stay at least 51yds away from anyone armed with this type of weapon.

Now my question. Why don't more homes have one of these? For the guy who isn't interested in guns but sees the value in protecting his home, this gun is perfect. It is handy, as simple as they get, devastatingly powerful, and legal to own in all 50 states. They have the added benefit of looking "old timey" and don't seem to cause the gun haters to soil themselves like handguns and the black guns do.

If you've got 300ish dollars, and a need for a Spartan no frills weapon that will allow you to repel the huns when they come to sack your castle, something like this could be just what you need.

Love, Sharia style

Muzzammil Hassan and his wife Aasiya are a Muslim-American success story. They came here from Pakistan 25 years ago and settled in Orchard Park, Ny, a suburb of Buffalo. They soon became influential members in the thriving Muslim community of Buffalo. Mr. Hassan was a successful banker until 2004, when at the behest of his wife he started a television station designed to combat the negative perceptions some Americans have of Muslims. The tv station has been a relative success and things have been going well for the couple, at least professionally. Unfortunately, their perfect romance would not last forever. Mrs. Hassan eventually came to realize she no longer loved her husband and recently made the painful decision to file for divorce. Then, predictably, things got all beheady.

This Week in Islam

It seems things may be on the upswing in the Muslim world. A 23 year old Saudi woman was recently-gang raped by 5 dudes who probably look a lot like this pig. The good news is that instead of being stoned to death for adultery she was sentenced to a year in jail and 100 lashes. It's a start.

A publisher and editor of a newspaper in Calcutta have been arrested for hurting the feelings of Muslims. Seriously.

Remember Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician and film-maker who was charged with hate crimes in Amsterdam for his Islam documentary? Well, the British House of Lords invited him to England to show his film, then a British Muslim in Parliament threatened to have 10,000 frothing Muslims riot in the streets, then the House of Lords told Wilders to forget the whole deal, then he said screw you I'm coming anyway, then he went to England where he was met by customs officers at Heathrow airport, then he had his passport confiscated and was told to go home, then he said the Brits were a bunch of girls.

And that ends this week's This Week in Islam.

No kidding

Trust me on this, Mexico City is the kidnapping capital of the world. World, I say! In 2007 the official number was 789, although Mexican authorities say most cases go unreported. And in the first 4 months of 2008 that number increased 76 percent. Kids, tourists, businessmen, and rival gang members seem to be the ransom bait of choice for the discriminating Mexican kidnapper. Fingers, toes and hands are systematically chopped off until the victim's family pays up. And I don't need to tell you what happens when the ransom isn't paid. But I'm sure none of this surprises you. Everyone knows that Mexico is a cesspool so let's move on to something more interesting, like second place.

Alright smarty pants, which city comes in number 2 on the list? Think carefully. South America is a big, bad place. Russia and parts of Eastern Europe are no strangers to all manner of foul play. Virtually the entire African continent is corrupt. And don't forget the vile pit known as the Middle East. Oh, hell, let's just get this over with, it's Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix, Arizona. In America. The Mexicans are playing their game on our field. Dang.

Elections have consequences

Back in the soon to be good old days of W, the collective Left never missed a chance to ridicule the president. The hate crazies never failed to seize upon even the most trivial George Bush faux pas, using each one as a means to undermine, make fun of, and otherwise prove his unfitness for office. But my how things have changed. In his first few weeks in office, His Awesomeness has confused a window for a door, bumped his head while boarding Marine One, and made a really stupid face at an elementary school. Meanwhile the Left averted it's gaze, weakly cleared it's throat, and pretended not to notice.

By their fruits ye shall know them

Over the past few weeks I have heard several intelligent political insiders say that after being out of power for the last eight years the Democrats plan to do whatever it takes to never lose control again. They say that amnesty for illegals and creating an even larger dependent class with the help of the criminal stimulus bill are two of the methods by which the Democrats intend to create a one party state. The article below explains another.


Little noted move on census by Obama could spell GOP disaster

by Rick Moran

There's a reason the Census Bureau is a quaisi-independent agency that reports directly to the Commerce secretary.

Once every ten years, numbers from the census are used to draw the lines for Congressional districts. What makes the Census Bureau such a pivotal player, especially today, is that it is generally recognized that the districts which contain high concentrations of minorities and illegal aliens are undercounted. This is not the fault of the Census Bureau who rely on thousands of local residents to help them in carrying out the door to door counting of people but rather the general mistrust of government that keeps people from applying for the temporary jobs offered as well as the relative safety of the canvassers in many neighborhoods where the undercounts are alleged.

The census has been taken since the very early days of the republic and always in as non-partisan a manner as possible. Until now.

The Capitol Hill publication Congressional Quarterly yesterday reported that the White House, responding to minority groups' concerns about Gregg's commitment to funding the census, has decided to have the director of the Census Bureau report directly to the White House.

Minorities are traditionally concerned about an accurate count because the census numbers are used to apportion political power, through redistricting, and federal funding, reflecting demographic changes over the past decade.

The White House move angered some House Republicans, who called it a power grab directed by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Last, Congressional Quarterly updated the story, noting, "The White House took a small step back from what the senior official told CQ, releasing a statement late Thursday that couched the relationship between the Census Bureau director and the West Wing as one in which the director would work with the high-level officials rather than report directly to them."

Trying to game the census for political purposes is just about what we'd expect from this crew. They have talked so long about building a permanent majority, manipulating numbers to perhaps overcount their core constituencies should not be put past them.

If Bush/Rove had dared to do something like this it would have been headline news nationally. As it is, we hear barely a peep from the media and are not likely to in the future.

Update

Yesterday I linked to an article from Fox News which stated that President Obama had asked for an 11 percent cut in the defense budget. Congressional Quarterly says Fox is wrong and that instead of a cut the Joint Chiefs have been given the green light for an 8 percent increase. Hell if I know. The stimulus bill is still criminal.

The stimulus package is criminal

The Wall Street Journal calls the $825 billion stimulus package "a political wonder that manages to spend money on just about every pent-up Democratic proposal of the last 40 years". Believe it. I'm not smart enough to know if we even need a stimulus bill, but I am smart enough to know that we certainly don't need one in which only 12 cents of every $1 has any chance of spurring economic growth. And so are the Democrats. Of course, what's good for the country seldom coincides with Democrat desires.

Below is $314 billion of fat that the Democrats have included in the stimulus, every penny of it some form of welfare designed to buy votes. And while you're choking on the numbers, remember that Obama has just instructed the Joint Chiefs to cut the defense budget by almost 11% - $55 billion. Priorities.

• $83 billion in welfare payments (the earned income credit for people who don't pay income tax)
• $81 billion for Medicaid
• $66 billion on "education", more than the entire Department of Education required just ten years ago
• $36 billion for expanded unemployment benefits
• $20 billion for food stamps
• $8 billion on "renewable energy" projects, which have a low or negative return
• $7 billion for "modernizing federal buildings and facilities"
• $6 billion on urban transit systems, dominated by unions and which, almost universally, lose money
• $2.4 billion for "carbon-capture demonstration projects"
• $2 billion for child-care subsidies
• $1 billion for Amtrak, the federal railroad that hasn't turned a profit in 40 years
• $650 million for "digital TV conversion coupons" (on top of billions already spent)
• $600 million on new cars for government (added to the $3 billion already spent each year)
• $400 million for "global-warming research"
• $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts

The Clueless Left

It is hard not to feel a twinge of pity for our homegrown America haters when the very people they try desperately to cozy up to spit in their faces. Watching the smelly little iranian prophet monkey call the Obama administration weak for agreeing to talk reminds me of one of those teen movies where the fat girl with braces and acne can't make a friend no matter how hard she tries.

Conservatives learn from history so we know that the muslims want us subjugated or dead. We know that the only reason the enemies of America prefer leaders like Obama is that such leaders make us that much easier to defeat. Leftists don't appear to learn at all. Since they hate America AND our foriegn enemies hate America, the homegrown leftist can't understand why all of that hating doesn't lead to a big hatred hugfest. Hello, you are still Americans and they will always hate you! It is sad and scary that they are too stupid to see this but still smart enough to win an election.

Radical islam and hardcore communist hate Jane Fonda and Jeremiah Wright as much as they hate Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, but they can't dupe the latter into helping them harm America. It is a fact that traitors are almost always despised, not only by the people they betray but by the benefactors of that betrayal as well. George W. tried hard to appease the left wing in this country and look where that got him and us. If President Obama uses the same tactics to deal with our external enemies, he and we, will suffer.

Religion of peace - coming to a neighborhood near you

What happens when British police meet a bunch of angry Muslims? If this 10 minute video is any indication, the British police resist the urge to run for about 20 seconds then flee in humiliation to chants of "Allahu Akhbar!"

Western civilization won't start getting well until it hits rock bottom. Fortunately, the primitives have the momentum.

There's no need to watch the video, but if you do don't say I didn't give you a language warning.

Terror in the Sky

This photo gives me the heebie jeebies. It's from 1932 and it shows 11 New York City construction workers casually sitting on a crossbeam at the future sight of the 69th floor of the not quite finished GE building. Scary.

Europe continues to crumble

An Amsterdam court has charged Dutch politician and film-maker Geert Wilders with inciting hate and discrimination because his documentary movie, Fitna, warns that if something isn't done the Islamists will devour Europe.

In Amsterdam you can legally purchase a prostitute and heroin, and with total immunity publicly partake of both before passing out in a lumpy puddle of your own vomit as kids play nearby. But equate Islamists with Nazis and it's your ass.

More courage and clear thinking from the Left.

Yes We Can

It's official. Barack Obama is the President of the United States. For the first time ever the highest office in the land is held by a man who is half white. Go us.

Career Choice

Hiba Qassir, 18, will soon graduate from Hezbollah High. She hopes her knowledge of video and sound editing will help her find a place in Lebanon's bustling movie business. However, if that doesn't work out she's always got plan B, suicide bomber.

Pretender-in-Chief

My plan was to wait until Obama was sworn in and started harming the country before giving him a hard time. But that was before He got the silent treatment from the Marines. I like. I suppose it's possible that they were stunned by His awesomeness.

Random Observations

While I am all for scaring older children ( there are few things more hilarious than convincing a couple of 13 year old boys that there really is a boogeyman) there is a lower age limit. What I am about to say, I say with full conviction and not even a hint of qualification. If you think that photographs of terrified babies sitting on Santa Claus' lap are funny then you are a weirdo. Period. Parents who do this deliberately should be held down and made to cry and beg for their lives while someone takes pictures that we can all laugh about later.

Early on many people said that B. Hussein was the second coming of Jimmy Carter, lately it appears like he might be the second coming of Slick Willy. "I did not have sex with that woman."- Bill Clinton. "I did not have contact with that governor." B. Hussein. For these people the truth is always the fifth or sixth choice, and while they may eventually tell it, a certain amount of time always elapses while they sift through their other options.

As I've said before and will say again the issue of unilateral personal disarmament is not dead. Some time in the next four years it will be back with a vengeance. Washington D.C. is now controlled by people whose policies are not the product of rational thought but of glandular secretions and they FEEL strongly that Americans should be disarmed.

Finally, President Bush is a cool guy, and pretty damn quick too! The video of him dodging well aimed footwear and still smirking at the rag head throwing it is priceless. I really enjoyed the very end of the video when a Secret Service guy FINALLY approaches the President and gets dismissed with the back of his hand as if to say "Relax, it's just a moron throwing shoes". Nicely done, Mr. President.

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II
US Ranked 4th

After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.

"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories-- Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US ; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany 's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented " France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.



P.S. I obviously copied and pasted this. I am not nearly smart enough to create it.

Prelude to a Thanksgiving

On March 16, 1621, 8 months before the first Thanksgiving, the pilgrims of Plymouth met their first Indian. His name was Samoset and all he really wanted was to get his drink on. Plymouth governor William Bradford wrote about the encounter in his book, Mourt's Relation: A Journal of the Pilgrims in Plymouth, first published in London in 1622. Lucky for us someone has modernized the spelling.


Friday, the 16th, a fair warm day towards; this morning we determined to conclude of the military orders, which we had begun to consider of before but were interrupted by the savages, as we mentioned formerly. And whilst we were busied hereabout, we were interrupted again, for there presented himself a savage, which caused an alarm. He very boldly came all alone and along the houses straight to the rendezvous, where we intercepted him, not suffering him to go in, as undoubtedly he would, out of his boldness. He saluted us in England, and bade us welcome, for he had learned some broken English among the Englishmen that came to fish at Monchiggon, and knew by name the most of the captains, commanders, and masters that usually came. He was a man free in speech, so far as he could express his mind, and of a seemly carriage. We questioned him of many things; he was the fist savage we could meet withal. He said he was not of these parts, but of Morattiggon, and one of the sagamores or lords thereof, and had been eight months in these parts, it lying hence a day's sail with a great wind, and five days by land. He discoursed of the whole country, and of every province, and of their sagamores, and their number of men, and strength. The wind being to rise a little, we cast a horseman's coat about him, for he was stark naked, only a leather about his waist, with a fringe about a span long, or little more; he had a bow and two arrows, the one headed, and the other unheaded. He was a tall straight man, the hair of his head black, long behind, only short before, none on his face at all; he asked some beer, but we gave him strong water and biscuit, and butter, and cheese, and pudding, and a piece of mallard, all which he liked well, and had been acquainted with such amongst the English. He told us the place where we now live is called Patuxet, and that about four years ago all the inhabitants died of an extraordinary plague, and there is neither man, woman, nor child remaining, as indeed we have found none, so as there is none to hinder our possession, or to lay claim unto it. All the afternoon we spent in communication with him; we would gladly have been rid of him at night, but he was not willing to go this night. Then we thought to carry him on shipboard, wherewith he was well content, and went into the shallop, but the wind was high and the water scant, that it could not return back. We lodged him that night at Stephen Hopkin's house, and watched him.

The Final Daughter Speaks

The Final Daughter has just turned 13 and now feels that her views on race in America should be heard. The following is them.



As The Hood Turns

Many blacks in America don't seem to appreciate the advantages they enjoy simply for being black. For instance, backs can call whites whatever they want "whitey", "cracker" etc. but whites have to call them "African American". For me the term "African American" should be used only for those who were born in Africa, and not for people who feel the title pertains to them because their ancestors from long ago were African, if that is the case then I insist upon being referred to as "European American". Everyone in America is forced to endure "Black History Month", which is a bit presumptuous on their account, seeing as how we have yet to establish an "Everybody History Month". My understanding is that Martin Luther King Jr. argued for equal rights for blacks not special rights for blacks. Another advantage is the United Negro College Fund, I myself am still waiting to hear from the United Caucasian College Fund. The special treatment doesn't end there, we have "Black Entertainment TV" but not White Entertainment TV. It was recently brought to my attenyion that there is a Miss Black America pageant, I find this beyond ridiculous because there is no Miss White America, Miss Hispanic America, nor a Miss Asian America. How much special treatment is enough? Apparantly decades of lowered expectations delivered on a silver platter isn't enough to stop the whining.

The Final Daughter

The shackles are broken

Not new news but just want to say in the famous words of The Who "I'm Free!" Or even our hero MLK jr. Whose unplagiarized quote was something like "free at last!" No more keeping America on wheels for me. I don't know how the industry will survive but I fled the coop. So does this mean that my biggus excusus has been taken away when it comes to my dearth in writing? I don't know, maybe. Apathus who caresus may rule but hey what else is new. Oh what's the point? I'm Baaaaack.

Speaking of Conspiracy Theories

According to this article if you doubt the existence of "Apocolyptic Man-Made Global Warming or Cooling or Raining a Lot or Not Raining Enough Etc." then you are in the same league with 911 truthers, those who think little green men crashed at Roswell, and believers in the Bush/Cheney hurricane machine(it's in Alaska, no really it is). If this leftist attempt at reality inversion is successful then we can expect a future where Patriotism is equated with belief in the tooth fairy. Oh, wait, that's already happened. Never mind.

Let the conspiracy theories begin

Wanna guess what the winning numbers were in the Pick 3 lottery in Obama's home state on Nov. 5th, the day after he won the election? Did I hear someone say...6-6-6? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Veterans Day Photo

If I were any less mannish this photo from the Stephen Ambrose book, Citizen Soldiers, could make me get all misty-eyed. The caption reads;

Normandy suffered terribly. Cerisy-la-Salle, July 25, 1944. The girl was the only person in the village. Sgt. David Weiss appears to be telling her that everything will be okay.

See what I mean? A little 4 or 5 year old girl all alone in a bad place, saved by the good guys. Lucky for her. By the time this photo was taken the Germans had murdered God only knows how many children her age. Tough luck being Jewish back in the day.

To put a more modern edge on it, if these two G.I.'s were instead a couple of the Muslim zealots we're fighting today, one of them would be wanting to chop her head off and the other would want to marry her.

I'll take my team.

Open letter to Barack Obama

Dear President-Elect Obama,

Congratulations on your great political achievement. In one fell swoop you became President of the United States and the first black person ever elected to the highest office of a majority white country. Well done. I guess that old saying really is true, only in America.

Your win proves what we conservatives have been saying for years, racism in America isn't near the hindrance to minority success that your party's race peddling demagogues would like us to believe. That's not to say some racism doesn't exist, of course it does. But America is the least racist country in the world and has achieved a level of national decency where about the only thing that limits us, any of us, is our own talent and determination. Now if you will use your considerable influence to explain that to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their ilk, that would be awesome. In fact, it would be change I could believe in.

As you may have surmised, I voted against you. I did so for the same reason millions of other typical white people did, you're a liberal. I would have voted against you even if I had never heard of your terrorist friend, your America hating, racist preacher or any number of your unsavory associations. That you held these people close says something about you, I just don't know if it's that you are a radical leftist ideologue or simply a calculating pragmatist. I hope it's the latter. But either way you're a man of the left and the ideas of the left are harmful or fatal if swallowed.

I'm pretty sure you already know, but just in case I would like to remind you of some of the harmful things modern American liberalism has given us. The way I see it, those who voted for you support;

Punishing success through higher taxes in order to spread the wealth around.

The welfare state which has addicted millions to the drug of government.

The soft bigotry of low expectations through affirmative action and racial preferences.

Killing unborn babies.

Babying killers.

Equality of outcome over equality of opportunity.

Violating the 2nd amendment through restrictive gun control.

The religious belief that is the myth of man-made global warming.

Junk-science that conjured up make believe dangers about DDT resulting in it being banned in the use against malaria, which has caused over 30 million third world deaths--and counting.

Political correctness, for God's sake! When you hear of a little league baseball game where no score is kept for fear of someone's snowflake getting his feelings hurt, that's the left. When a 1st grader is expelled for drawing a picture of a knife, that's the left. When a 76 year old grandmother is the subject of a random airport search instead of the swarthy man standing in line behind her, that's the left.

Etc. etc.

One final thought before you get on with governing. Many of your fellow liberals suffer from a condition known as Bush Derangement Syndrome, an affliction of the left manifested by an irrational hatred of President Bush. It's quite unattractive. I can't speak for every conservative, but now that the race is over I intend to hit the reset button and base my judgment of you on your performance in office. When I think you're right I'll give you credit, when I don't I won't. We'll see how it goes.

Time to go. Good luck. May you live and be well because daughters need their fathers and because your Vice President is a buffoon.

Citizen King Selfish

A Quick Note To All You Future Victims Of Wealth Redistribution

As an American who makes less than $250,000 I mean $200,000 I mean $150,000 per year, there is a good chance that I'll be recieving some of your hard earned money, via the government, in the near future. I want you to know that I voted against this, as did both of my fellow bloggers. We voted against our own financial interests for the good of our country because we understand that without OUR country we have NO interests, financial or otherwise.

There is little doubt that most of the redistributed wealth will be spent paying the exceedingly high price of all the silly-assed global warming cures that loom just ahead. But if it's any consolation, Mr. and Mrs. Wealthy American, I will be setting aside a little bit of your hard earned money to donate to the campaigns of the CONSERVATIVE politicians of the future. The rest I'll probably spend on ammunition, because every time the left wing nutsacks take over I get nervous and nothing soothes my nerves like big piles of ammo.

A small sample of those hoping for an Obama victory
