King construed Cain as seeking to impose “a purity test, or a loyalty test” uniquely on American Muslims before allowing them to serve in government — a fair description, though a bracing one that drew Cain’s objection. The exchange teed up the issue for Governor Romney. King asked him, “Should one segment of Americans — in this case for religion, but in any case — be singled out, treated differently?” Of course, the problem is not that Islamist Muslims are members of a religious group but that under the auspices of religion they pursue an anti-American political program. Yet Romney did not question King’s premise. He accepted it, and he exhibited a disturbing detachment from reality on the ground: “Well first of all, of course we’re not going to have sharia law applied in U.S. courts,” he said. “That’s never going to happen. We have a Constitution, we follow the law. No, I think we recognize that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, our nation was founded on the notion of religious tolerance, it’s in fact why some of the earlier patriots came to this country. And we treat people with respect regardless of their religious persuasion.”
The late-breaking news for the man who would be America’s next president is that we already have sharia law being applied in U.S. courts. Put aside the embarrassingly patent fact that having a Constitution has never meant “we follow the law” — judges ignore the Constitution regularly, and Romney’s own campaign aims to show that President Obama has run roughshod over our constitutional order. The fact is that sharia-based claims are now routinely posed in American legal cases and, increasingly, entertained by courts. Indeed, right before Romney spoke, Cain alluded to a New Jersey judge’s refusal to grant a protective order to a Muslim woman who was being serially raped by her Muslim husband — reasoning that the husband was merely following Islamic tenets, under which the wife is chattel and has no right to refuse.
A very good post on defining what sharia is and its implications/ramifications if used as a basis for law here in the United States.

One by one, exasperated executives stood to air their grievances on environmental regulations and stalled free-trade deals. And Daley, the former banker tasked with building ties with industry, found himself looking for the right balance between empathy and defending his boss.
At one point, the room erupted in applause when Massachusetts manufacturing executive Doug Starrett, his voice shaking with emotion, accused the administration of blocking construction on one of his facilities to protect fish, saying government “throws sand into the gears of progress.”
Daley said he did not have many good answers, appearing to throw up his hands in frustration at what he called “bureaucratic stuff that’s hard to defend.”
“Sometimes you can’t defend the indefensible,” he said.
The exchange suggests the limits of the elaborate courtship of corporations begun by President Obama and his top aides after Democrats’ big losses in the 2010 elections — an effort that has taken on new urgency in recent weeks. -

Teens Helped Unsupervised, Roaming Children in Jersey City.
MYFOXNY.COM – Several children were spotted running around a Jersey City street on Wednesday. They were naked and hungry and their mother was nowhere in sight. Two teenage girls came to the rescue.
“They were running up and down the road- no clothes on,” said Nilaja Wyatt, 17. She decided to take control of the situation after her friend Aaliyah Glover said her mother almost ran over one of the kids.
The teens gathered the six children and brought them inside. That’s when they found out the kids’ 2-year-old brother was in the upstairs apartment all by himself. The door was locked, so they broke in.
“He was crying,” Wyatt said. “He had a snotty nose, everything, crying standing by the door.”Welfare Queen? 👿

Good morning Hamsters. Muggy 78 at 6 but quickly relieved by the awakened breeze thoughtfully arriving around 7:30 and increasing. No escaping the heat today. Have not inspected the flowerbeds yet for overnight damage.
Added 4 gallons of soft water from the house to the fountain this morning. Evaporation is amazingly fast in one day of brisk breezes. A honey bee perched on the edge and drank while I was adding the water. Spouse spied a pair of barred owls playing in the sprinkler last night at twilight and apparently enjoying themselves. We seem to have a family residing in a hollow in an ancient pecan in the back pasture.
Critters seem to be managing in the drought so far. Small ones can drink from the small tank in the side pasture without falling in, and the large ones can drink from the large tank between the front and back pastures. The optimistic forecast for midweek rain chances has to be regarded as a tease. We will believe it when we see it. Here. On our yard. Keeping the faith, Lord, that it will eventually come.

Since WWII, the Left has repeated the now well-worn cliches of the poor and middle class losing economic ground as the rich become even more obscenely wealthy. One of their mantras is to use isolated data comparing income in real dollars over time. The gaping flaw in this method of deceit is not the actual dollars earned, but how many hours a person must work to purchase an item over the same period. It is, in the long run, about purchasing power.
For every $100 of consumer spending today, only $13.50 is spent on food, clothing and household furnishings and $87.50 is spent on everything else. Contrast that to 1948, when it took $40 of every $100 of spending for the basics, leaving only $60 to spend on all other goods and services.

I did some morning watering, concentrating on the weak spots in my front lawn. I know that’s the time to water to best advantage, but my mornings are usually not available for that chore. Some of my neighbors have given up and let their grass die. I coordinate the Beautiful Yard sign program in my subdivision, and this has been a grim year so far. We move our signs every 3 weeks but it is hard to find a deserving front yard this year.
The back yards don’t have to be beautiful so I guess that explains how mine reverted to jungle during the last few years. I just took down a surprise 20′ high trash tree that had grown up at my back fence line. Couldn’t see the first 6 feet of its trunk for all the vines growing on the fence in that uncleared section. Above that, Mr. Trash Tree was hidden by my dense Bradford pear.

How a Taiwanese manufacturer and thousands of mailand Chinese hole-in-the-wall bootleggers transformed the telecommunications business from China to India and helped instigate the “Arab Spring” uprisings across the Middle East.
This is a very, very cool story illustrating the ingenuity and creativity of humans at ground level.
In 2004, a Taiwanese electronics firm named MediaTek unveiled its latest product–a cell-phone-in-a-box aimed at manufacturers, equipped with everything they needed to make the guts of a working phone on one chipset. Write some software, add features, and snap a plastic case on the front and you’ve produced a new model. It was an immediate hit with China’s notorious counterfeiters, the shanzhai.
In 2004, MediaTek sold 3 million of its chips; six years later, its sales had soared to 500 million, more than a third of the worldwide market. Nearly half of those went to shanzhai. The sudden ability to design, manufacture, and ship millions of dirt-cheap handsets in total secrecy led to an explosion in Internet-enabled devices in China. “Five years ago, there were no counterfeit phones,” the sales manager at a Chinese component manufacturer told The New York Times in 2009. “You needed a design house. You needed software guys. You needed hardware design. But now, a company with five guys can do it.”

Can’t answer for FA, but for me it’s a faith story. Not a sad story at all. Not completely unlike a wedding, but not exactly the same either. Maybe you just have to be a dad to appreciate it fully.

The gut wrenching pride at seeing a reluctant son FINALLY stepping out in courage is really hard to describe. It gives a father hope that his son will be able to protect and provide for his family; defend his country and his honor, etc. I think that concept may be something that testicularly challenged individuals are not capable of fully understanding.

Spouse and I just got back from Fathers’ Day dinner a day early because every eatery will be jammed tomorrow. The mares and Mariposa know we like Olive Garden, so that’s where they sent us. They insist on taking care of things so long as treats are involved. 😉
Half my dinner and two death-by-chocolate desserts came home as carry out. All will be good later today or tomorrow. Seems that these days the portions are so big it is impossible to finish them at dinner. Also seems that the more you eat, the bigger what’s left on the plate gets. Amazing.
Tomorrow’s Anniversary dinner (46th) will have to wait until nexy week because of the crowds tomorrow. The critters don’t have input on this celebration. 🙂

Is this kinda what you were getting at over Bachman and ethanol subsidies?
In 2005, Bachmann voted to require all gas sold in Minnesota to contain at least 20 percent ethanol by August 2013. (If the EPA has not yet approved gas with such a high level of ethanol, the law will not go into effect.) She also spoke favorably of ethanol in a July 2008 conference call on energy. “We’ve also done a very good job in Minnesota by building the E85 pumps all across the state, so that people can have access to them,” Bachmann said during the call. Not mentioned: the fact that Minnesota allotted $1.75 million to give to gas-station owners who installed E85 pumps.
Two months before that call, Bachmann made the controversial decision to vote against a five-year farm bill. The bill, which had been vetoed by Pres. George W. Bush, won the support of the two-thirds required in the House and Senate to override the veto. Bachmann not only voted against the bill — which both of Minnesota’s senators, including Republican Norm Coleman, and six of the eight members of the state’s congressional delegation, voted for — but was also outspoken in her opposition to it, lambasting it for “exemplif[ying] the very worst of Washington’s ways” and for avoiding “every single opportunity for actual reform.
“It is loaded with unbelievably outrageous pork and subsidies for agricultural business and ethanol growers,” Bachmann said of the bill, according to Gannett News Service. “Americans are being squeezed by taxes and rising living costs, and Congress wants them to pick up the tab for pet earmarks and wealthy landowners.”
Bachmann’s ties to Iowa, her birthplace and the future scene of her formal announcement of a presidential candidacy, run deep. But so do her ties to the Tea Party, whose adherents push for an end of “crony capitalism” and government policies that favor one industry over another.

Oh no, Bonecrusher has allotted me the dreaded “420”. I think that means I offended him.
But I don’t think for a minute that you have to have testicles to feel pride. To step out in courage. To defend your country. To have honor.
Special bond between father and son? Yeah, I’ll buy that one.

Darren,
Exactly. She doesn’t appear to have staked out a firm position on the subject. There’s only one right answer on it in my mind, and sometimes she seems to give it, sometimes not. I have neither the time nor inclination to support that type of inconsistent behavior from any politician.

In other news, I had a great day. The Boy called this morning and asked me if I was going to the Gun Show at the Reliant. He usually works on Saturday but he had the day off because he worked 67 hours this week. So I picked him up and we went together for the first time in many years. He’s been LQQking for a Black Kahr PM 40 and we saw several. Since his Birfday is the end of July, I went ahead and got him one with theTritium sights, along with 250 rounds of Remington UMC hard ball ammo. Yup, Life is Good! 😉

Mharper42. Now it really is amazing what our pet friends can arrange if they receive Mrs. Pasture’s Cookies for Horses or Friskies Indoor Adventures cat treats–species dependent of course. All that’s necessary is to produce the treat and ask them if they select the Olive Garden or wherever else we suggest. They never turn down the treat and always say yes. Can’t very well take them along.
The death by chocolate desserts are for us. 🙂 Later this evening. Apparently chocolate is not as harmful to cats as it is to dogs, but it is not good for them in any event. Have no info regarding chocolate and horses, and fortunately they are cautious about eating anything new.

Hey, Dave, are you going ot the gun show at the Reliant next Saturday? 😉

Wagonburner,
I’ve read that very pure cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (which you’ll likely recognize as ale yeast) can be had from the feces of human infants. If it’s good enough for beer, why not steaks?

Super Dave, I went to the Gun Show today too.
Picked up some “Law Enforcement Buckshot” (12 pellet) and also 1000 Federal Gold Medal Large Magnum primers(215).
The buckshot is for personal home defense. I don’t know if you’ve ever fired that at a silhouette target, but it is awesome. It will definitely change a perp’s focus.
The primers are for some Weatherby 7mm Mag reloading. I’m going to try the Berger 168gr Hunting VLD for longer range hunting. I tried a few different loads about a year ago and am going to try to tweak my best load combo to perform better. I tried those loads at the 100yd range just to see how they performed relative to the factory load I currently use. If I can tighten my 100 yard group I’m going to see how they perform at 300yds and beyond.
Btw, the best buy I saw there was a Weatherby Mark V 7mm Mag with a 3×9 Leupold for $800. It probably could have been bought for less than that.

Speaking of slicing onions, I tried a toaster/nuke cheese sandwich today and liked the result. I did 2 slices of havarti cheese and thin sliced onion between them. Neat and clean enough to eat by hand, and not greasy like “the real thing”. Thanks to whoever’s idea this was — Sarge I think.

Dude #73;
While I definitely prefer a solid “NO” stace myself on subsidizing ethanol from governments, what you see above, as far as I know, is federalism in action. In 2005 Michelle Bachman was serving Minnesota’s State Senate when she voted that “Minnesota contain at least 20 percent ethanol by 2013”. This is tricky. while she did not, nor could not, appropriate dollars from the federal government to her state, accomplishing her supportive goal would definitely use federal dollars. Then again, these are dollars already appropriated to her state.
The following paragraph shows her NOT supporting pork dollars in which some if not a lot would make their way to her state. So, at least with the example I found above, she’s taken a position on the federal level to NOT subsidize ethanol. I don’t know how she voted on the amendment recently passed by the US House to eliminate federal dollars into the ethanol programs in various states. If she officially takes a federalistic position on ethanol, that’ll satisfy me on this issue with Bachman though, as stated before, idealistically, I would prefer no subsidies for any ethanol program (state or federal).
Now, I spent an hour trying ot track down her vote in the US House of ethanol and cannot come away with a definite conclusion. I cannot find for sure the name of the fiscal bill, nor the amendment attached to eliminate the subsidies.
HERE’S her voting record on spending and taxes (pretty great overall).
HERE’S and overall view of her votes on various topics (also pretty solid).

IWHarper69, when I was growing up I had 3 or 4(Ican’t remember that far back) pet racoons. I raised one of them from a tiny almost hairless, blind baby. We used to buy a powdered formula from the vet called Esbilac(sp). I would mix it up and put it in a little doll bottle and feed it. They are very interesting pets. We used to take one of them for car rides and it would run back and forth across the package tray. He loved to go in the car. When we would let him in the house, if you were sitting on the couch he would climb up on the back and run down the back and mess up your hair and then run back to the other end. He was a mischievous clown. They are not very good pets for small children as they are temperamental and still wild animals regardless of how tame they might appear to be. They will let you know quickly and decisively if they’re not in the mood for play. We used to bring live shiner minnows back from fresh water fishing trips and put them in their feed bowl. They thought that was a blast. We would also catch live crawfish and they loved those too. They would come in from behind them, put their front paws on their pincers and bite the crawfish’s head , killing it before they ate it.

At about the same time, a NorthWestern Energy employee responding to a power outage drove up. Bridges asked what caused the outage and he pointed at the line and said, “it looks like you’ve got a deer with wings.”
The lineman told Bridges the fawn’s carcass hit the first line and swung into another line, sparking the 30-minute outage.
The lineman said he’d never seen anything like it.

Lawrence,
Picked up some “Law Enforcement Buckshot” (12 pellet) and also 1000 Federal Gold Medal Large Magnum primers(215).
When you say 12 pellets I guess that you mean 12 “00” instead of 9 in a 12 Ga load? That is the old 2/3″ Magnum load for the 12. I’ve not seen that in years. 7 Mag Weatherby,….sweet, but if you can beat factory ammo by reloading you’re are a better man than me. 😉 FWIW; I’m an old Fart and I can remember when a handloader could beat a factory load EVERYTIME, but not anymore, I shoot a 30-06 load that will clock at least 3000 FPS, (150 gr Hornady), if I try to load that I could damage my gun because they use duplex loads, (2 different kinds of powder). I still load my 44 Mag pistol because that is the only way I can afford to shoot it and my 22-250 because I load them long for accuracy. IE, the bullet hits the lands when I close the bolt and they will not fit in the Magazine.

Anyone else notice how much Lawrence seemed to relish describing how raccoons kill their captive prey?Click. Check. Click.
Personally, I don’t think raccoons (or armadillos for that matter) should be kept as pets, although it is nice that people do occasionally save little orphan critters and try to give them a life. But it’s better to turn them over to wildlife rehabilitators.

SuperDave, you’re right on the 12 pellet.
I agree with you on the quality of factory loads these days. I use the 154gr Weatherby factory ammo and have made one shot clean kills on mule deer to 409yds(verified with a Leica laser rangefinder) and elk to 349yds. I want to try the Bergers for their long range accuracy and very high bullet coefficient. Weatherby factory loads are also a blended powder(Norma, I believe). There is an outfit out of Montana that loads the Bergers in new Weatherby brass for $80+ a box plus ground shipping. I’ve got quite a bit of used brass but I think I’m going to load some in some new Weatherby brass and see what happens. I had the best luck last year loading them “long” but it renders my bolt action a single shot(the bullets wouldn’t fit my magazine either). My business partner has used the Bergers in his 270 Weatherby Mag Accumark and had good long range success with them.

#90 – in case you’re wondering, I’m a hunter/gatherer not a farmer. I have good predator instincts and credit them to my maternal grandfather’s Cherokee Indian ancestry. I look forward to my hunts all year. I prefer to and usually hunt alone in Colorado. I typically tent camp by myself and have acquired top notch equipment over the years. One of my buddies calls me “The Lone Wolf”. I also had the privilege of hunting in Palo Duro Canyon for 14 years on the 35,000 acre Harrell Ranch. Charles Goodnight’s home camp was on the banks of the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River that ran thru the ranch. It was a really historic and beautiful ranch that bordered the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. I killed a tremendous whitetail buck about 300 yards from the remains of that camp that was the largest typical buck that year in the Panhandle Region of the Texas Big Game Awards, won me a rifle in a big buck contest and is listed in the Boone & Crockett Cub’s 25th Edition Big Game Awards book. Here is a picture of it:
http://www.kchall.com/bbcontest/2001/stateoftx/pictures/lcieslewicz.html
I’m sure you’re bored to tears about now and couldn’t care less but I thought I would try to put your mind at ease that I’m not some wild eyed killer and you shouldn’t be alarmed unless you’re a deer or an elk.

#93 Lawrence, DAYAAM that is one fine “White Tail” I’ve seen these bucks when I lived in Kansas (for a couple of years) but didn’t know that they were as far south as Texas. But the Pandhandle is not all that far removed from Kansas. Hat’s off to you Sir. 😉
P.S. I guess my 4 1/2 year old, heavy beamed 8 pointer with his 6″ brow tines and 18″ spread from east Texas don’t make the cut. 😉 Best I’ve done thus far, and it was killed stalk hunting. -

When you say 12 pellets I guess that you mean 12 “00″ instead of 9 in a 12 Ga load?
Perfect round for all round home defense if you live in the country, but I’d not recomend it in apartments or housing developements. The .65 ball can reach out further and with a tad more accuracy than buckshot and will penetrate lots better. Still get a good pattern if your aim is off and the ball does lots more damage than pellets will do. No such thing as overkill in a self defense situation.

Can’t find an audio for this, Scattergun by Webb Wilder.
Standing tall, he doesn’t flinch, he knows what must be done
But his eyes are weak, his aim is bad, his feet too big to run
If he wants to live to know his lover’s kiss
He can’t afford to miss
In the blinding glare of the burning desert sun
There’s not much a man can do outnumbered six to one
Unless he is the man they call ScattergunScattergun
You don’t have to be a good shot

A man who knows his bottle like his woman knows his touch
Who keeps to his own business as he tinkers in his hutch
But if some pack of devils act a fool

His scattergun will fill the air with smoke and fire and such
And if you look to see what’s left, you won’t see muchScattergun

Super Dave, your buck is a great trophy. A 4 1/2 year old buck is a mature, wary animal, especially in East Texas. Sounds like he had great mass and tine length – a great buck anywhere in Texas. I particularly admire the fact you weren’t sitting in a stand hunting over a feeder when you killed him. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done plenty of that in my earlier years but lost my taste for it many years ago. It just doesn’t feel like a hunt. All the best animals I have killed were not taken from blinds but using natural vantage points and cover.

Texas Congressman Ron Paul ran away with 40 percent of the vote at the Republican Leadership Conference’s straw poll vote in New Orleans Saturday, after losing by just one vote to Mitt Romney at last year’s conference.
My favorite comment:
Ron Paul is a serious contender and on a daily basis communicates with our founding fathers via weegie board (the twitter of the afterlife).

Man I can’t believe Dud threw me under the bus like that. And, to add insult to injury, Goat-Dater was so eager to pile right on.
That’s what I get for associating with a guy like HeadShaker. Every time I meet the guy for lunch, I always carry . That dude’s got more enemies and debt collectors looking for him than John Dillinger. Last time we went to Sacred Heart for spaghetti, a fight broke out right behind him. I think it was a “collector” that mistook the guy sitting right behind him for HeadShaker. I went by his office the other morning and asked the receptionist if he was in. I found out later she thought I was a “collector” and tipped him off and he got on a plane and went to New Jersey instead of coming to the office that morning. I’m waiting for the IRS to up their bounty on him and when it get’s to $250,000 I’m gonna turn him in.

#93 Low Rents: That is one darned fine buck. What did he taste like? Didja make any jerky or sausage? Seeing as how the buck had a bloody nose, I guess the bullet hit in the boiler room (I don’t figger you punched him in the nose while he was still “unperforated”) how far did he run before he went to the big food plot in the sky?

My best shot on a deer was at a 21/2 yr old buck while he was eating corn on the ground, I was in the middle of a prickly pear patch and had a small tree real handy for stabilization. He had his butt towards me and I shot him between his legs, in the throat. There were 2 exit wounds out the back side of his neck, with bits of corn all the way through. The buck collapsed right there, over his feet and never even twitched; dead before he hit the ground. I doubt the buck ever felt or heard anything. He was dayum tasty:>)

I watched that buck coming up the river for about 450 yards. He was traveling the river looking for does, very common behavior during the rut. I was sitting next to a huge boulder on a razorback ridge that came right up off the river down in the Canyon. That ol’ buck passed between me and the river and I shot him at about 70 yards just as he was walking behind a cedar. I caught him just behind his right shoulder – he ran about thirty yards and stopped beside another large cedar. He took about two steps backward and that was it. He was a big bodied buck, field dressed weight was 173lbs if I remember correctly. That buck was tasty, there is a lot of agriculture up on the flat adjacent to the Canyon. He was fattened up on winter wheat and was in his prime.

Lawrence: I haven’t been deer hunting in years, but when I was, I really liked to get close to them. Sitting in a box watching a feeder 100 yds away gets a little dull. Finding a place to hide in the woods near a likely spot and forcing your body and mind to be still so that you blend n with the brush, can be a religious experience. It is the best when you get there while it is dark, during the dark of the moon and you watch the shadows emerge, then start to take shape and finally get color and clarity as you watch the bloody battle between night and day unfold. The critters start to wake up and move around, birds start to sing and you get to be “in the moment” with HIS CREATION. It is those times, when the trappings of civilization (other than what you are wearing and your weapon of choice) fade to nothingness, that I get to hit the re-set button on my attitude(s) and I get re-jew-venated.

What a dolt!
A Joliet man told police he was attacked by two people weilding nunchuks and throwing stars after he showed up for what he thought would be a sexual rendezvous with his ex-girlfriend.
The 44-year-old man called police after getting jumped around 1:15 a.m. in the alley off the 300 block of Youngs Avenue. He said he had called his ex-girlfriend and asked her to come over for sex, and she agreed.Dude (not you Dooooooode) get a grip, when it is over ITS WISSIN OVER
A short time later, Katherine M. Casarez, 29, texted the victim that she was in a nearby alley, police said.
As the man walked to Casarez’s car, a masked man jumped out and hit him in the head with nunchuks, police said. Casarez then grabbed nunchuks of her own and hit the man on the head with them as well.
While investigating the crime scene, police found two throwing stars, including one stuck into a telephone poll.
Casarez, of Joliet, was charged with aggravated domestic battery, aggravated battery, unlawful use of a weapon and armed violence. Police were also seeking a 34-year-old Joliet man for questioning.So the dumbax calls his ex for a quickie and her NEW boyfriend comes up along for the party. He is obviously only thinking with his florida and goes to meet her in an alley??
I’m not sure I would charge the perps in this case as, obviously, this guy was just beggin for a severe ax-woopin and he got it. -

Chastidy Bono is now Chaz Bono.
Two years into his gender reassignment process and Chaz Bono looks every bit the man he wants to be.
The transgender son of pop superstar Cher was born female, but has spent the past few years slowly becoming male.A self mutilator.
from the comments section:Would someone who knows about these things explain this to me: “Chaz was a lesbian woman who had a lesbian relationship with another woman who is a lesbian. Now that Chaz is a man (or so they claim) is the lesbian woman with whom he/she had a sexual relationship now heterosexual? This formerly lesbian woman is now having sex with a man (or so they claim) so has she changed her sexual orientation, too? I’m just asking!
So let me get this straight (no pun intended), if you go through a sex change and your “relationship” moves from homo to hetero and you most likely get counseling in the process that is ok, right? The organization, Project Exodus, attempts to bring people (those who voluntarily seek out their service) out of the homo lifestyle and into hetero without surgery and that is horrible, right? I see the blinding light of hypocrisy don’t you?

NATO strike on Tripoli kills civilians
So, is NATO now “terrorizing women and children in the dark of night”? Or are comments like that selective in use and application?
This story brings me to the following I came across via Hot Air:
On Meet the Press this morning, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) said “Congress should sort of shut up and not empower Qaddafi” by discussing the possibility of cutting off funding for military operations there.
He also said it was a mistake for Republican presidential hopefuls to think that getting “to the left” of President Obama on national security is a path to victory in the GOP primary. He warned that any candidate evincing skepticism about our military mission in Afghanistan and elsewhere the Middle East would face strong “headwinds” from the party.
On ABC’s This Week, Graham’s close ally Sen. John McCain expressed a worry that Republicans were returning to “isolationism.”
Referring to comments made by several Republican hopefuls during last week’s New Hampshire debate, McCain said “there’s always been an isolation strain in the Republican Party, the Pat Buchanan wing of our party. But now it seems to have moved more center stage, so to speak.”
Are Graham and McCain so dense and stupid as to see the grave danger in having a president with full control of the United States’ military? The same goes to treating United Nation authority as if it were on par with that of the United States Constitution. Cutting off funds to the war on Lybia is the minimum that should be done. Obama’s choices should bring him up for impeachment as far as I’m concerned.

Graham: Congress Should ‘Shut Up’ on Libya -
Baby girl had a fever the pst two days. She hasn’t really had one this morning but since we didn’t want her to spread anything to other children and in order for her to get extra rest, we decided she should stay home from church today. So it’s me and Baby Girl at home. I just found her dead asleep on the floor snuggled up in some blankets.
Talk about images of heaven.

NBC Omits ‘Under God’ From Pledge During U.S. Open Introduction — TWICE
It seems NBC has taken a cue from our president and his regular omission of “creator” from the Declaration of Independence.
The most ironic part is that the intro was talking about the “virtues” passed down from generation to generation. Apparently the one about honesty and truth — telling things like they are and not omitting whatever you don’t like — is getting skipped.

Anyone know what’s up with Tim lately? Don’t see many posts from him any more.
I’m here, I’m here. Keeping up with all y’all goofballs ‘less you go astray. Sweetie and I spent the night with my folks in Houston last night. Lost my real dad at age 11, step dad stepped in and did a fine job covering, provided guard rails for an angry, confused teenager the best he could without much authority nor obligation. I will forever be grateful.
Kneemail requests out for friends and acquaintances out in Northwest Montgomery/Grimes County threatened by all the wildfires springing up. Driving in Magnolia, smoke fills the sky. We need rain so very bad, please God.

Talk about hot, I’m down right hot. Mitch McConnell, senatorial leader of the spineless and spine challenged Republicans is now saying that they will probably go ahead and kick the can down the road and raise the debt ceiling (just a little you know, and just for a short time you know) in exchange for a promise of $4 trillion in debt reduction sometime later (probably around 2050 or so). What a weasely bunch of republicans we have there in the Senate – John McSwine, Hayseed Graham, Olympia Snowe, (oh yes KBH and John Cornyn also) just to name a few – and now this guy. No wonder we are doomed as a nation.
I’ll be anxious to see how Congressman Olsen votes this time around – he’s been with the House leadership all the way in spite of representing presumably the most conservative district in the country, so can’t tell if he wants to return or not.
