Nasty Pelosi: Super Hero

" I'm trying to save the planet; I'm trying to save the planet."- Nancy Pelosi (D-ranged old whore) This woman seems to think that she is the star in her very own science fiction movie.

The arrogance required to believe that humans, i.e. ants in the afterbirth, are capable of destroying the planet is beyond that which even I possess. But even that arrogance pales by comparison to what is needed for a Botox filled old bimbo to think that she is the savior of Earth.
She is obviously planning on succeeding, otherwise she wouldn't bother pimping her new book, "Know Your Power", it's all about getting more women into leadership positions. I must admit, I don't fully understand the logic behind choosing leaders based solely on their plumbing, but it's probably okay since it appears we have decided to to pick one based solely on his pigmentation.

The Hollowpoint Cult

Along with the proliferation of CHL's has come the proliferation of gun writers extolling the exclusive use of hollowpoint ammo for defensive purposes. The pages of the big gun magazines are chock full of "experts" screeching with a zeal reminiscent of a global warming alarmist, that the debate is over and hollow point pistol ammo is the ONLY way to go. These members of the hollowpoint cult preach about the dangers of overpenetration and drone on about the superior "fight stopping capabilities" of their favored bullet design. This mindset has taken hold so solidly that hardly anyone is willing to publically disagree. This is where I come in.

Any reasonably intelligent firearm enthusiast, who has been actively involved for say 5 years or more, knows by now that a gunwriter's job is to pimp the latest hot thing. Anyone who has ever bought and read a half dozen or so gun magazines knows that you will never see a new product test that ends with the subject being called junk, even if it is. Sometimes they push their advertisers ideas, as well. This doesn't mean that gun magazines or gun writers are bad, it just means that their job is to sell products, not dispense truth. As long as the reader knows this, he can enjoy the photographs and check out the specs.

In our overly litigious society, every manufacturer worries about liability, they would be foolish not to. The limiting of ammunition manufacturer's liability(and selling a more expensive product) is what's driving the hollowpoint craze. If those behind this movement would just admit that, there wouldn't be a problem. But they don't, instead they try to "sell" us with phony science, guilt, and repetition. In an effort to turn a negative into a positive(for them), the ammo makers enlist the firearms publications to help convince us that what is best for them is best for us. Such is not the case.

Contrary to what a lot of agenda driven experts and some just plain morons will tell you, when it comes to smallarms projectiles, velocity does not kill, bullet expansion does not kill, energy does not kill.( Note: I am too lazy to play the semantic stop vs kill word substitution game. Feel free to do whatever you like in the privacy of you own mind.) Penetration and placement are what kill. Period. Since hollowpoint bullets are designed to LIMIT penetration, they are, in essence, designed to fail. The idea that ammo manufacturers can design a bullet that won't shoot all the way though a shirtless, 120lbs crackhead, but will reliably penetrate the heavy coat, leather vest, wool shirt, 4 inches of pectoral muscle, ribcage and finally vital organs of roid raging 300lb body builder is ludicrous. Concealed carry is all about protecting yourself and your family from whatever threat presents itself, hope for the best all you want, but the prudent man prepares for the worst.

Over penetration is a genuine problem, but in a gunfight it is a purely secondary concern. I would venture to say that more people have been killed by bad guys that failed to go down after being shot, than by over penetrating 45acp ball ammo. If I ever have to shoot someone, I expect every bullet to make two .45 caliber holes in him, I want lots of air going in and lots of blood coming out. And until the gunwriters come up with some real science that tells me I'm wrong, I probably won't change my mind. For what it's worth, my advice to concealed carriers is as follows. From your gun, demand reliability and accuracy. From your cartridge, demand large diameter and penetration. And from yourself, demand good judgement and precise shot placement. Everything else is just commercial chin music.

Jesse Jackson has blood on his hands, literally

In a recent conversation I said that I was reserving my belief that Jesse Jackson smeared himself with the blood of the slain Dr. Martin Luther King until I heard it from a reliable source. I now believe. Middle of fourth paragraph.

Nutroot's nation

Noticed there was a big blogger's convention in Austin last week. As a matter of fact it was a liberal blogger's convention. This was a bigger gathering of nuts than the annual Okmulgee Oklahoma pecan festival. There were two prominent goober's who addressed the salty ones and were greeted by cries of adulation from the rabid following. Let me just say this, if you look up in any way to Pelosi and Gore then you should slowly fold up your laptop, set it down, and back away. I mean NOW! Go back to playing candy land and mystery date and forget you actually thought you were having thoughts. One good thing about the Nutrooters and their leaders, they sure make us (kingie poo, The great Arch dookie, and humble me) look pretty... pretty good.

These Days Everybody Is Great

The current trend towards shameless self promotion seems to be gaining strength, and it is rapidly dwindling the number of people worth listening to, either in person, on television or even in the blogosphere. Recently, an actress who's name I don't recall, was complemented by her interviewer on her gun handling skills in her latest movie. Her response was, "Oh I'm great with guns!" Really? There are many of us out in the real world who have spent more years than this young lady has been alive, buying, selling, shooting, studying, disassembling and sometimes even reassembling, firearms of all types, who still wouldn't proclaim ourselves "great with guns." All of us old school(properly mannered?) types, may have to rethink our position because apparently, these days, saying a thing makes it so.

Not too long ago I complemented the highschool football teammate of one of my sons, by commenting that he had played a good game last Friday night. His response." Yeah I'm really fast and that's the reason we won." I am not often left speechless by highschool kids but all I could manage was a blank look, a couple of styptic blinks, and an internal "alrighty then". Back in the day, when a teammate's dad, or anybody else , told us that we played a good game, we invariably and to a man responded, "thanks". Note to self: Times have changed.

Don't get me wrong, there have always been a few braggarts, but in the old days they were discounted, laughed at, and avoided. These days it seems there is no escaping them. I must have been sick the day that society decided self praise carries the same weight as that which comes from an unbiased source. If I have done nothing else of note, as a parent, I have at least attempted to keep my children from getting "too big for their britches". Considering the way in which our society is changing, I hope I haven't done them a disservice. This particular trend, in my estimation, is crude, boring, and a civilizational step backwards. It can't run it's course soon enough to suit me.

Be that as it may, I think that this post proves, once and for all that I can now add the title "GREATEST BLOGGER IN THE WORLD!", to my already SUPER IMPRESSIVE list of AWESOME accomplishments.

What the Heller!

In case you were wondering, no, there is no end to the insanity. Dick Heller, the man who took it to the D.C. gun ban, has had his handgun application rejected by the D.C. police because his semi-auto is, get this, a bottom loading weapon and therefore considered a machine gun. Wow, all these years of referring to my self-loading handguns as pistols when it would have been so much cooler to call them machine guns. (Uttering obscene language)

Spin This One Reverend Jackson

Read this article, then come back. Tick tock tick tock.

All done? Isn't it great how a 41 year old man can get the crap kicked out of him by a bunch of G-Dogs for defending his 12 year old daughter?" But Archduke," you ask "How on earth do you know that they were Negroes?" I know because one of them is named Devondre. And if one is a G-dog then they all are, because like curs everywhere, G-dogs only attack in packs.

If this man had been a CHL holder he and his family would be okay and the Twin Cities would have fewer thugs to worry about. Oh wait, I take that back, you can't take your pistol into an amusement park, even with a CHL. That's probably a really good rule because after all we wouldn't want anybody to get hurt.

Rants like this one make me seem like a raving racist but I don't care. A true racist would want to know if the victim was white. I don't because, again, I don't care. He was a Dad protecting his daughter and that is all I need to know. The name Devondre and the style of attack hints rather strongly at a certain African influence. If I'm wrong I'll print a retraction and apology, but I'll bet cash money that I don't have to.

Planet Earth's Number One Threat

GIANT FREAKING CENTIPEDES! That's right, forget about terrorists, disease, meteorites, or even global warming. The real problem, that the government doesn't want you to know about, is GIANT FREAKING CENTIPEDES! The beast in the top photograph could be the twin brother of the one I destroyed single handedly some 15 years ago. Since the story of this "Battle Royale" is the stuff of legend, you've no doubt heard some version of it. Loathe as I am to speak of my own mankind saving heroics, I will tell the short version one more time. You are welcome.

In the summer of 1992, while repairing a windmill on a ranch in southwest Texas, I sensed danger and turned to find a fiend from hell towering over me. Since the brute was upon me, there was no time to draw and fire my HK P9S 45(though I doubt mere bullets would have had much effect) I was forced to engage the monster with nothing but a shovel. I will spare you the gory details but after what seemed like hours of bloody combat, I managed to cleave the demon in twain. Much to my surprise, I then found myself under attack from both peices! In the end all the twain cleaving and whatnot proved to be fatal and the mutated spawn of satan finally went tits up for good. I buried each piece in a separate, deep hole in order foil any hellish reattachment plans.

I have been misquoted, by those wishing to discredit me, as saying that the beast "breathed fire and shot deadly poison from it's eyes". Hogwash! It shot deadly poison from it's ANTENNAE and DEATH RAYS from it's eyes. And breathing fire? Really? That's just ridiculous.

The smaller photograph, taken by a CIA sattelite, is of one of these things killing a full grown Nile crocodile. Oh sure it's been photoshopped to look like a much smaller version, killing a Western Whiptail Lizard but they're not fooling anybody. For God's sake, call your Congressman and demand that the government do something about GIANT FREAKING CENTIPEDES!

Mugabe: Another Carter Success Story

As a British colony, Rhodesia was "the breadbasket of Africa" as Independent Zimbabwe it is now just another open sewer on the Dark Continent. In the decades preceding 1979 Rhodesia was something that "Mother Africa" rarely sees, a net exporter of food. It was a beautiful country with a strong economy, friendly people and excellent hunting. But alas, it had one fatal flaw, the white people who had created it insisted on running it as well.

Enter the bleeding hearted Carter administation and the bloody handed soviet union, these two groups(along with some British leftist) conspired to "save" Rhodesia from the very people who had carved it out of the wilderness. And save it they did, in a way that only a great statesman like "Goober" Carter can. The Carter/communist cospirators quickly removed the tough, right wing prime minister Ian Smith and replaced him with Marxist terrorist Robert Mugabe. And the rest, as they say, is history.

After 28 years of Mugabe rule the country not only doesn't export food, it can't even feed itself and is totally dependent on the kindness of white countries whose farmers understand that whole "agriculture" thing. In free Zimbawe, the life expectancy for males is 37yrs and for females 34. In free Zimbawe 18% of the adults have AIDS and 25% of the children are orphans, but the good news is that the inflation rate hovers around 21,000%. No, that's not a typo.

President Carter and President Mugabe are tight. As soon as Mugabe took power he was immediately invited to the White House to celebrate this great victory for his people. And to show how total his support was, Carter made sure that the American embassy was the first to be built in the new country of Zimbabwe. Makes you proud doesn't it?

The situation is so bad now, that even the kool-aid drinking liberals in America are starting to notice. And as soon as they figure out a way to blame it on Conservative Americans you can count on hearing much more about it.

Supreme Court Clown

This link will take you to an article entitled Justice Anthony Kennedy and Our Schizophrenic Court. In my opinion the piece is important and illuminating, but also disturbing -- graphically disturbing. If in doubt, save it for later.

I don't like this guy

The right to bear, barely

The United States Supreme Court decided today that your individual right to possess firearms shall not be infringed. The decision came down 5 for and 4 against. A win's a win, but this was a narrow victory. As a gun owner, lifetime NRA member, and all around great guy I obviously think the court made the correct decision. But don't kid yourself, I'm not happy.

I'm not happy that it took the Supreme Court to prevent the Bill of Rights from being reduced by one. It would take about 10 minutes of internet research for the average second grader to see that the founders of our country and framers of our constitution intended to protect the individual right of gun ownership.

And more importantly, I'm not happy that if 4 U.S. Supreme Court justices had had their way the individual right of gun ownership would be effectively erased from the constitution. Even if you don't care about the right to bear arms this should concern you, because the next time the court may be deciding a constitutionally guaranteed right that you do care about.

I'll finish with a rhetorical question for those who believe it doesn't matter who is President. Do you really think that if the last two Supreme Court justices had been appointed by President John Kerry today's monumental ruling would have been the same?

Slow Down Pat, Your Crazy is Showing

I view the political spectrum as a circle, not a straight line. Think of a clock face. Hardcore, but not crazy, conservatives are at three o'clock. Hardcore, but not crazy, liberals are at nine o'clock. The numbers mean nothing, it's a right side left side thing. An absolute moderate would occupy the twelve o'clock position and a snot slinging radical, FROM EITHER SIDE, would occupy the six oclock position. It is my contention, based on personal experience with family members, that conservatives who continually move to the right will eventually find themselves face to face with liberals who continue to move to the left. They all end up at the bottom of the circle hating America, attempting to tear down her institutions, rewrite her history, and denigrate her heroes. It is of no consequence that crazy right wingers and crazy left wingers arrived at the same point by different routes, once you get to crazy, it doesn't matter whether your instructions come telepathically from God or a redwood tree.

Pat Buchanan, is an intelligent man and when it's between 3:00 and 4:00 o'clock in his mind, he writes some things that ought to be required reading in American universities. But in his latest book he states that Adolph Hitler was a reasonable man, Winston Churchill was a warmonger and WWII was unnecessary. Huh? Deep down Pat Buchanan is, and has been for years, an unrealistic isolationist stuck in the distant past. I mostly like the guy, but I refuse to accompany him or anybody else on a headlong sprint to the bottom of the circle. If the only justification for his ideology is down there, then he needs a new position.

What I'm trying to say is this. Pat, check your watch, because based on this new book it's about 5:45.

Oil Shale

Here is an interesting article on oil shale. After you read it you will want to slap an environazi and then run out and buy stock in Royal Dutch Shell.

Gay Marriage, No Thanks

" The social institution under which a man and a woman live as husband and wife by legal or religious commitments."

This one sentence, is and has always been, the civilized world's definition for marriage. It defines the institution that my wife and I entered some 28.5 years ago. We took it seriously then and we still do today, more seriously in fact than our parents or any of our siblings. I believe in it and I am proud of our success. I am not the least bit interested in having it redefined by a small but vocal group of practitioners of aberrant behaviors.

Homosexuals have the right to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, but they don't have a right to change the meaning of a word or of an age old institution in order to allow themselves entry. If, through political correctness, we allow every deviant 3% of our population to redefine our terms then soon nothing will mean anything and the greatest of all civilizations will cease to exist.

Marriage, as it has been defined for centuries, is the foundation of the family and the family is the foundation of civilization. Those who would avoid chaos and anarchy would do well to take note of that.

Racial Sensitivity

In the interest of proving my love for our civilizationally challenged brethren from south of the Rio Grand, I the Archduke, have decided to stop referring to them as Mud People. It has come to my attention that some folks view that term as offensive. As a sensitive and enlightened humanist, the last thing I would ever want to do is offend any of the millions of two legged cockroaches (oops) that have illegally invaded my country. "But Archduke", you asked, "whatever will you call them?" Not to worry, I have invented a totally new name.

As is evidenced by their radical organizations, protest signs, and heavily decorated Chebby trucks, they are very proud of their virgin slaughtering, baby eating, no wheel having, ancestors. And who wouldn't be? Think about it, the "great" South American civilizations had made it all the way to the stone age while the Europeans were wasting their time with the Renaissance. So what I did was take the three best known mud civilizations, the Maya, the Aztec, and the Inca and combined the words to get MAYZTINC. It's pronounced maystink. Now if you have spent any time around these people you know that the vast majority do stink, but dostink doesn't fit with my whole word conglomeration thing. So henceforth I won't be saying that there were 14 head of mud people standing outside the store glaring at white women, I will be much more politically correct and say that there were 14 mayztincs standing outside the store glaring at white women.

This is just my little way of paying homage to their bone-in-the-nose, insect munching ancestors who appear to be about a half a generation behind them.

Aztecs Still Don't Get The Whole Germ Thing

Seriously, who is stupid enough to eat something called "mexican bathtub cheese"?

Aztecs Still Trying to Master The Wheel

The history rewriting, America hating, White people loathing left likes to tell us that by the time those nasty old Europeans landed in the Americas, the peaceful locals already had a highly advanced civilization in place. They talk about calenders and temples and aqueducts but fail to mention bloody wars, human sacrifices, and a diet heavy on bugs. Mainly what they fail to mention is that when those backward and barbaric White folks landed, the highly advanced locals had never seen a wheel. That's right, none of the great South American civilizations had managed to discover the wheel. And based on this photograph, which shows a drunk mexican crashing into a bunch of stupid mexicans, they still haven't quite got the hang of it.

I reckon so

I once said some hateful things about Clint Eastwood on this blog. After reading this piece I will endeavor to persevere never to do so again. In summary, he tells Spike Lee that "dying ain't much of a livin', boy." Not really, but it's still a good article for manly Eastwood fans.

Exercise for the brain

This article discusses the benefits of "neurobics", simple exercises like brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand or eating dinner with your eyes closed, which some claim stimulate the growth of new brain cells and help stave off age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's.

A day in the hood

Take a good look at this guy. Go ahead, he won't hurt you. He may look like a gun totin' bad-ass killer which, in fact, he once was, but he's now dead. He was shot in the neck on the inner city streets of Cleveland by a couple of home boys who got pissed when they discovered he was only carrying $8. I guess they wanted mo money. It may not be relevant, but when this young man died his body was chock plumb full of drugs. Quit it, who are you to judge?

Stories about black dudes from the hood getting murdered for nothing are as common as the hairs in the Vicar's ears, but I got a little extra riled when reading this one.

First, did those two putrid clumps of turd pus really kill a man over a lousy $8? Come on. I don't have the highest opinion of our inner city youth, but my minuscule mind is incapable of understanding how someone could be so stupid, so mean, so devoid of foresight. A hundred dollars maybe, but 8? Idiots.

Second, the murderers were black. Ok, I'm lying. I mean, they were black but that's not why I'm riled. I'm riled because in the half dozen articles I read or scanned about this crime the race of the perps was never mentioned. More to the point, I'm not actually riled because the race of the killers was omitted, but for the reason the race of the killers was omitted: political correctness. We live in a world ruled by grievance mongers where true and relevant information is often suppressed specifically because it is true and relevant. The truth hurts and many don't want the pain.

If you're wondering how I know the bad guys are black, I don't, but I'm so confident that they are I'd bet your life on it. It's really pretty simple:

A. Blacks commit murder at a much higher rate than any other race.

B. The murder occurred in the hood.

C. And this is the kicker. If the crime had been committed by a non-black, especially a white non-black, it would have been mentioned in the story. It's always relevant when a white person commits a crime against a black.

There’s a third and final aspect of this story that has me riled. I mentioned that our young victim was full of drugs when he died. What I didn’t tell you was that he died 4 ½ months after the shooting and the drugs were the various antibiotics, painkillers, etc. that I assume he must have had in his system. Just thought I ought to set the record straight.

Crap! Every time I think I’m finished with this post I remember something. The dead guy is 21 year old Robert Crutchfield - Marine Lance Corporal Robert Crutchfield - who was home on leave from Iraq, standing at a bus stop waiting for his girlfriend when he was gunned down by a couple of disenfranchised youths. You know, I’d be all for bringing our soldiers and marines home from the land of sand and stink, just like the Democrats want, if as soon as their boots hit American soil we could turn them loose on about 100 of our most G infested cities.
