Several Romney positions ( …  long list …) point to his past as ( …  long list …) to the point that “True Conservatives” would rather vote for, or do ( …  long list …)  than support Mitt.

I Agree.

But …

Instead of crushing the potential Romney momentum, let’s see if we can help him adjust his sights and point him toward the correct target.

If this doesn’t work and we find ourselves with a weapon cannot be aimed reliably, it’s time to send him to the scrap heap of history.

Note to Mitt Romney:

You have one shot to hit the target with Conservatives.

Aim small, miss small.

Update:  Having read my own words in the post above, I can not in good conscience let it stand. Romney is a political opportunist, worse yet, a socialist gun-banning media construct.  Romney and his GOP enablers have to be destroyed if our Republic is to survive.  Consider this a retraction of the post above.

From Shall Not Be Questioned:

“Congratulations to the folks at NGVAC, you’ve likely succeeded in being salespeople of the year for Starbucks Coffee.”

From Starbuck’s PR Dept:

Thank you for your feedback regarding Starbucks’ policy on open carry laws.

At Starbucks, we deeply respect the views of our customers and recognize that there is significant and genuine passion surrounding the issue of open carry weapons laws. We comply with local laws and statutes in the communities we serve. Our long-standing approach to this issue remains unchanged and we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don’t exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited.

As the public debate around this issue continues, we encourage customers and advocacy groups from both sides to share their input with their public officials. We are extremely sensitive to the issue of gun violence in our society and believe that supporting local laws is the right way for us to ensure a safe environment for both partners and customers.

If you have any further questions or concerns that I was unable to address, please feel free to let me know.

Warm Regards,

Your 5 most wanted

With this:

… my frugalness (read – broke ass) generally prevents me from spending money on things that would be more akin to toys than real gear.

But what if it didn’t? What 5 firearms would I purchase, should price nor practicality be an issue?

Here’s mine:

1. M1 Garand (Winchester), 30-06 Springfield
2. M1 Carbine, .30 Carbine
3. M1 Thompson Sub machine gun, .45 ACP
4. M1A Springfield, .308 Win
5. M82A1 Barrett, .50 BMG

Oops, I already have those!

If money were truly no object, I may swap the Carbine for an M1 Abrams!

In recent testimony, a Government witness invoked the Fifth Amendment in questions about Operation Fast and Furious.

Quagmire:

If the Fifth Amendment was written to protect Citizens from the Government, how can the Fifth Amendment be invoked by a Government body to protect the Government from its Citizens?

My Take:

Only the Citizenry, not the Government, can claim protection under the Bill of Rights.

Answer the questions, Sir.

I had the pleasure of meeting the one of the World’s most charming couple on a warm San Diego evening many years ago.  He and his wife were traveling from Coos Bay, Oregon to see the sights in Southern California and parts of Mexico.

In addition to supplying my then 18-year-old self with copious amounts of beer, the husband provided an idea.

50 Acres

50 acres may be something of a retirement site or something to leave to the grand kids to enjoy, but our evening’s host had a different view.

His quest was for 50 acres – but not necessarily 50 contiguous acres. He was acquiring at least one acre in each of the 50 States!

Seems like a mighty fine quest to me, too. I may just go for it!

Tips, recommendations, photos, et cetera will be graciously accepted.

In about an hour, I had three blog posts written by hand.

At the commercial site I updated about 90,000 web pages in less than 6 minutes.

Each of 19,682 products has an updated page; each of about 2,300 category groups has a page; all products and groups are listed in 2 locations in English, plus sites in Spanish and German.

Database-powered websites are cool.

Word is that Governor Rick Perry is returning home before the South Carolina Debates.

I am disappointed.

Probably.

Science most likely has the answer, and it ain’t saying a thing about it.

Because Science knows better than that.

Official Results to be released Thursday.

I have to wonder how our impartial Big Media will downplay this major malfunction of their highly vaunted fact checking credibility.

Sorry, but Obama says NO to Keystone XL project.

Democrats:

The ones who make you freeze to death in the dark while blaming the other party.

Evidently, energy independence is incompatible with Government dependence.

Nice economy you had there, America.  It’s a shame Obama’s policies had to happen to it.

Touchdown pass for 66 yards with 1:54 remaining.  32 to 29 – Saints

49er’s score touchdown with 9 seconds remaining: 36 to 32 – 49ers.

Exciting stuff.

I figure that’s good to about 1,700 yards or so.

In Virginia, it’s either Mitt Romney or Ron Paul.

At least it does in Alabama.

Possibly in Georgia, too.

An Alabama Court has announced that it will hear arguments as to whether Barack Hussein Obama II is in fact eligible to appear on the State Presidential Primary Ballot.

So, PROVE IT, Obama.

Obama makes Recess Appointments without an actual Recess of the Senate.

Obama is out of control. He is dangerous. We are headed toward a Constitutional crisis. Thus I feel a need to reiterate Andy McCarthy’s plea:

So my question is: are Republicans just going to grouse about this, or are they actually going to do something about it?
