A little decency left

Jamie met up with me today in Bellevue after work for a little trip to Wade's Guns. He's working Army this month and was still in uniform. In Wade's, I noticed everyone was very respectful to this smart-ass 25 year old friend of mine. One fella started talking with him about the military right away. The thing that touched me the most was a woman in there. While moving down the glass counter the woman was in Jamie's view so he politely said "excuse me" while looking into the case. The woman stepped aside, looking at Jamie, and said just as politely, "Oh absolutely, go right ahead. For all you do for our country, thank you. Thank you for your service." She said a few more nice things but I have forgotten them unfortunately.

The point is that there is at least one sincere, decent person left with manners and respect for our military. This is the major difference between Seattle and the Eastside. A mere body of water separates two entirely different world.

Attention Everyone

I just wanted to rub it in the Liberals faces that I bought yet another gun. HA HA!!

Yes, I bought myself a Kimber Ultra-Carry II with night sights. Right after I bought it I took it to the indoor range and shot it. That is the sweetest gun ever. And this afternoon, I went and shot my AR. Another sweet gun. I must say, I am getting better at shooting although I managed to shoot the man-silhouette target in the fellas...twice.

I have a little rail on my XD so I think I'll attach a little flashlight on the end and maybe a red dot laser if I feel the need. I saw some light/laser combo attachments at the gun show and thought it would be great especially on the gun I keep on my night stand. Then I'm thinking I'll build a tricked out AR a little at a time. Or perhaps get an AK? So many things to choose from.

Now all I need to do is figure out the best way to carry my Kimber.

I laugh everytime I see it

I read about how google "accidentally" deleted anti-Obama blogs and through reading the blogs (which are now back up and running) I came across the site hillaryorbust.com So I checked it out and found an Obama video that is mock-worthy. The video is originally from moveon.org.


Is this for real? It's like a valtrex commercial. But I think it's a sound analogy: Obama's hope is like herpes.

Sissified Nation

This one says it all.

911 Systems choking on non-emergency calls

Which of these is an emergency?
  • A Subway sandwich shop in Florida leaves the mayo and mustard off a customer’s order.
  • A Texas man can’t get a cab.
  • A Tennessee man’s stepfather keeps nagging him to do the laundry.



Sissy people are relying on government and others to be parents. Not only do people file frivolous lawsuits and seek new laws every time one little thing goes wrong, but now people are "telling on" each other to 911 dispatchers.

Grow up.

Bittersweet

It is finally summer in Seattle. This week is supposed to be upper 70s to mid 80s and sunny. We even have a smog alert for tomorrow. I love walking the streets of North Seattle, smelling the flowers and breathing in the fresh air-- well when there isn't a smog alert anyway. What are those purple flowers called? Lilacs? I love those! There aren't many daffodils left but it's ok, they worked all spring to help chase away the gloom. I love the sun and warm and it's such a nice change after being overwhelmed with cold and rain ALL YEAR LONG.

But I still can't stand Seattle. You can't polish a turd.

An entire generation is at stake

The brainwashing starts at a young age. Some of us must have an internal antidote; for others, we must find the cure.

My lovely cousin Christina has a brain and knows how to use it-- Yes she is an 18 year old conservative. Her friends, however, seem to be extremely liberal. It frustrates me how the liberal "progressive" cult claims to be tolerant and full of love but their actions say otherwise. Yes, they are extremely tolerant of alternative lifestyles-- which is great, we should be-- but they shun and hate traditional lifestyles, values, and beliefs. Why can't we have both?

Worst of all, they hate conservatives and their views and opinions. Doesn't seem very progressive to me.

On my cousins facebook.com account, she had a picture of herself, my brother and me sporting McCain stickers. Here is how the dialogue plays out on the comments board:


Kangda: YOU WOULD

Megan: OH GOD! NOOOOOO

Tara: What "tolerant" comments...

Christina: oh liberals are always so accepting of others' beliefs :)

Megan: Silly liberals.

Kangda: "if obama wins, i'm going to revoke my citizenship and move to canada. i'm not even kidding" - christina babcock, a conservative.

Megan: Funny, I said the same thing about McCain.

Christina: no, I wouldn't leave America no matter how much the liberals talk about how bad the economy is, how bad war is, how bad global warming is, and how communism wold solve all these things

Tara: wow, sparky.... once again, so many "tolerant" liberals. Besides, you are better off cashing in an moving to the Bahamas or Costa Rica-- Canada is full of Socialist/Communist Obama lovers too. Wait, your friends SHOULD move there and get the hell out of this God loving, Gun toting, wonderful Capitalist country!


I'll let you know how it progresses from there... in the mean time:

Simple Game of Taboo

Taboo is a game where the card reader has a word must give hints to the players who are guessing the word. But the card reader may not say the word or a list of 5 words on the card that would easily give it away.

Here is how the Babcock's play the word-guessing game, Taboo:



(it's Christina's turn)

Christina: Ok I got it. Liberals have no...

Douglas: Balls!

Tara: Nuts! Brains! Tolerance!


Ball was the correct word.


I'm so proud of my family :)
