Is Bush Admin Flipping on Gun Rights? Early in President Bush’s first term, the Justice Department adopted the “individual rights” interpretation of the Second Amendment. According to administration attorneys, the weight of historical evidence and academic scholarship supported this view. Now, however, it appears that at least one federal agency (the Federal Aviation Administration) is endorsing the “collective rights” view in a rulemaking concerning whether firearms should be allowed during space travel. Given that proposed rules are supposed to be subject to White House review in the Office of Management and Budget, the question is whether this one just slipped by, whether it represents a sign that the Administration is backing off the “individual rights” interpretation favored by most supporters of gun rights, or whether this is something that only those of us who with scheduled space travel need worry about.

SEPTEMBER 12–North Carolina cops are searching for a guy who successfully passed a $200 bill bearing George W. Bush’s portrait and a drawing of the White House complete with lawn signs reading “We like ice cream” and “USA deserves a tax cut.” The phony Bush bill–a copy of which you’ll find below–was presented to a cashier at a Food Lion in Roanoke Rapids on September 6 by an unidentified male who was seeking to pay for $150 in groceries. Remarkably, the cashier accepted the counterfeit note and gave the man $50 change. In a separate incident involving a different perp, Roanoke Rapids cops Tuesday arrested Michael Harris, 24, for attempting last month to pass an identical $200 Bush bill at a convenience store.

What are you doing later this afternoon? I’m getting together with Nancy Drew and Southerntragedy to have a few beers and maybe play shuffleboard. Are you up to it? We need a fourth! I’d like to see the pig races this afternoon/evening. I believe it is 4-7 p.m. Then maybe off to Coaches.

Sounds like funnnnnnnn I am cleaning house and running a few errands then I will be free after 5:30 . If you need a 4th I will be available after that.
#9 emme-K: Why not buy the patch instead of the carton today? The effects of ever how many cigarettes there are in a carton (Is it 200?) would be that much less in your system)
We want you to be around for a long time!
/going back to mind my own business now.
Great! Please have Squawkbox give you my email address if you don’t already have it so we can swap phone numbers and make plans. I’ll call Southerntragedy.
BTW, the invitation is open to anyone who wants to show up! Just have to firm things up first!
You don’t need to mind your own business and I can always use the support. I have this really dumb reason to buying the last carton. I got a coupon for $4.00 off a carton and my mind says use ittttt don’t lose itttttt. Dumb reason huh?. My daughter would love you for caring since she has wanted me to quit for years.
To those who take action Thank You. To those who dont…Blahhhhg away.
I have an idea to bolster our military without a draft and at the same time see how much illegals really want to be citizens. Put uniforms on them and send them off to Iraq. If they make it back alive in four years give them citizenship. If they refuse to serve send them packing to their country of origin.
And under the banner of “while the doormat Republicans” continue to give one more chance to their abusive “leaders.” OR “while our troops roamed the world for monsters to be destroyed.”
HITLER’S THANK YOU DINNER
Speech by Herman Grundig
(snip)
“We only have to worry about three rogue nations who will resist the German people’s will,” continued Herman Grundig. We all know these outlaw nations. First is Britain, a stubborn people who fiercely defend their peculiar thousand-year tradition of liberty that protects their citizen’s so-called “individual rights” against so-called government tyranny. They will oppose us to the end.”
“Then there is America, the bastard offshoot of Britain, with the same stubborn anti-government tradition as the British, but even worse. The Americans actually allow their citizens to own guns. Can you imagine that? That so-called “right” is even written into the Second Amendment of their despicable Bill of Rights. We understand that their courts and legislators are chipping away at this “right to bear arms,” as the American fools call it, but it will take another sixty years before their legislators finally confiscate all arms in America. So right now, America will be our most dangerous enemy.”
“Finally, right on our door-step, is Switzerland. This renegade Republic has had so-called representative democracy for over 600 years. They are a fierce people who cherish their so-called liberty, and have refused all our efforts to convince them to pass gun registration and confiscation laws. Their leader even had the nerve to tell me that every citizen in Switzerland not only has the right to own guns, but that the Swiss government actually requires every citizen to have a rifle in his home, and to practice using it. As a result, he told me that all their citizens are deadly marksmen. They claim that this law has kept the Swiss free from invasion by other countries for over 600 years.”
“Well, we will respect Switzerland’s armed citizens . . . I mean, neutrality. We will not force our views on them if they are so stupid that they cannot see that it is Germany’s destiny to rule Europe. Our generals have told me that we would have to fight every man, woman, and child in every house in every hamlet, valley, and mountain top in Switzerland if we ever invaded . . . I mean, sent our troops justly into Switzerland. Our generals have therefore wisely decided to respect Switzerland’s neutrality, as a gesture of generosity by the German people.”

#26 And how many of those, just because they wore uniforms, will understand and, more importantly, live by such concepts as Natural Law, Common Law, constitutional limited government, etc?
They will still be a net loss in our battle to constrain the Central government. They will probably be even worse off. People who accept a highly centralized government already, that is supposed to give them craddle-to-grave care, trained in the one system that requires total subordination. Imagine those Foreign Legions taking order in a New Orleans style operations.
Please spare me.
Another Romanesque non-solution that will further destroy what’s left of the Republic.
I would as a matter of course demonstrate that they are serious about wanting to be American Citizens and not citizens of other nations wanting to live in and sponge off of Americans.
I find that the large majority of U.S. Military veterans, no matter who or where they came from, make outstanding citizens.
Post 34 was supposed to be in answer to 33, not to myself. I can see that the week has been to long so I am shuting off the computor and heading to the woods. See you Tuesday.
If you told them to put on the uniform and fight they would run and hide.
I thought I’d post more on the toll road fiasco. While many of you dont live in or around Austin you can still paticipate. They are trying to make most of our roads toll roads.
#35 “Outstanding citizens” means exactly what? That they keep their lawns cut and are nice neighbors, while supporting the eviceration of our historical rights and the enlargement of government’s intrusion into our lives? I do not doubt that the people you refer to really want to become American citizens.
I question their understanding of what that means and, in many cases, their desire to understand.
Thank you for your comments on the human space flight requirements. This rule, including its security requirements, underwent coordination and review within the executive branch. It was reviewed and approved by the Executive Office of the President.
Your comments will be placed in the docket.

I have info on three pieces of legislation that have been filed in Austin.
HB28: Relating to the eligibility of an individual born in this state whose
parents are illegal aliens to receive state benefits.
HB29: Relating to the imposition of a fee for money transmissions sent to
certain destinations outside the United States.
HCR 11: Directing the attorney general to seek recovery of money from the federal government for costs incurred by the state in dealing with illegal immigration and to demand federal enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Let’s see where these go and who supports what. Come on Dan!

In need of a female to kiss come New Years and the Babe-O-Lino at the top of this column just might be the ticket. If none of the regulars here haven’t snagged her already, let me take a shot at her. (Providing she ain’t the wife of one of you - I do have certain moral standards)
#47 FourAlarm: Be our guest. However your standards may be aimed a tad high.
Go gettem’ Big Boy! We would like to have a full
“pucker” report come Jan. the tooth.
You can tell us EXACTLY what you think we should be doing without slamming me.
Unless, of course, you know that most people will not like the solution you would propose.
so again:
What, EXACTLY, would the “something” that 1/5 of the masses should be doing in order to solve things the DJ way when you say this:
Get off your butt and do something…anything.
Apparently, by your defineition, if I go outside and kick a duck in the ass, that would be doing “anything” and I would have fulfilled the DJ description of what to do to keep us from losing all of our freedoms to a central government that is slowly taking them away from us.
It’s all the liberals fault! Yeah, that’s it. It’s those damn liberals! Stupid, no good, cowardly, commie pinko ba***rds they be. Now of course, me being Republican makes me smart, classy, brave, freedom loving, and a good Christian. The fact that I’ve registered as a republican is a true indicator of my high moral and ethical status.
Those dang liberals have ruined our world in the last 26 years even though the GOP has retained control over Congress or the Oval Office for the last 26 years or so. With the minor exception of 1992-1994. Things were bad then with ol’ Slick Willie in office and the Demoncrats runnin’ congress. During that time, I could feel the flames of H.E.-double hockey sticks burning the feet of all Americans. Things were awful around here.
Thank GOD we regained GOP control of Congress in ‘94 and kicked Slick Willie’s party to the curb in 2000. In the last 6 years, things have really improved with virtually no control from the other side. Now I know what you’re thinkin’ September 11th, a war, corruption, immigration. Those things are all the liberals and main stream media’s fault. If they only focused on the real stories about that no good JFK wannabe Kerry eating lunch alone, then we’d be in a righteous place.
If we could just exterminate them dang liberals and censor the public media. We could have peace in our nation while fighting in others. Heck, we could send all the dang liberals over to Iraq! They’re probably all Muslim, antifadeh, dhimmi, jihadist, turban wearin’, pig-hatin’ anti-American mongrels anyway.
Darn illegal immigrants, the Dhimmicrats want to pay to have ‘em in our nation. The liberals just want them so they can vote for their stupid commie party. Takin’ my tax dollars while they kill our innocent wimmen and children.
Sarge it just dawned on me why you take offense at my post.
You are an do nothing American.
Go out and kick a ducks ass. Thats the only ass your gonna kick. You get angry at my posts because obviously you think I am taking aim at you. If the shoe fits big boy. Put the damn thing on.
I will not go silently into the night.
Did you atleast sign the toll road petititon? It only takes a few strokes of the computer key board.
These are my two favorites. Boy we gotta a winner!
15. “The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.” —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001

Sarge-if we lose our liberties, it will have nothing to do with the fact that we do or don’t have guns. It will be do to the fact, and this pertains to both liberal and conservative, that we are largely an apathetic and do nothing country when it comes to our government and politics. We have a lower percentage of people voting than almost any country in the world. Most people don’t know who their congressman is. They don’t know who their state reps are. They don’t read newspapers, magazines or watch t.v. news shows. This will be our downfall. Someone who would take away 1st amendment rights is a much scarier person than someone who would try to take away second amendment rights. Our power and ability to influence government flows from our 1st amendment rights, not our 2nd amendment rights
I agree that the solution is that more people should vote.
But DJ claims we are being manipulated by the governmen/media complex and therefore such a solution is only window dressing. I mean, a government that can pull off 9/11 as a false flag operation can do just about anything, right?
At least, that’s what I get out of his posts for the past two years and his avoidance of giving a direct answer to my question.
Sarge thanks for serving our country. Our country is calling you to duty again. You just dont hear the call.
Also thanks for demeaning my border watchs. I almost lost my life last October sitting there with my cooler and binoculars by nice hispanics looking for work. I wouldnt have been sitting there if our government was doing its Constitutional duties.
Until you are in your grave you have a duty to serve.
We have to dismiss these media conspiracy nuts on each side. They use tthe media as a crutch. Media is nothing but a filter. An intelligent person will take from many different sources and draw his own conclusions, then vote his conscience. In fact i have even suggested to a few of the local talk radio hoststhat when someone ones to go on the air and complain abnout government, that they should be pre-screened and if they can’t answer basic question such as who is your state rep, who is your u.s. rep, where is your polling place, etc., etc, then they shouldn’t be able to voice an opinion.
Too many in the military WILL follow orders to disarm citizens and too many citizens will comply, submit and snitch.
You are right Sarge, we have gone so far to the left that the Central government has NOTHING to stop them in whatever they wish to do to us in these uS.
Day in and day out we see missing woman, dead hikers, car chases, etc.
Why did the media not cover Joe Bannisters victory over the IRS?
Why did the media not cover the fact that CAFTA was passed even though several congressman said they voted no yet their votes turned up yes? Are car chases moere important?
Whatever the media decides is news is what we get. Whatever light they want to shine on it is how bright it gets.
Sarge thanks for serving our country. Our country is calling you to duty again. You just dont hear the call.

I keep hearing your call DJ…and I keep asking you what I should do.
And you never tell me.
Maybe it’s that kind of thing that keeps us as “do nothings”
all you do is “warn” us about the destruction of our liberties, the government/media complex, the fake 9/11 attack—and then you tell us we’re all doing something wrong by not “doing anything”–but you never tell us what we should do.
Jerry Doyle questioned everything he thought was wrong with our gov on both sides of the aisle. Out of the blue he was gone. I emailed 700 as to why he was replaced by the ever so popular vitamin guy. I never received an answer.
It’s Friday afternoon and I’m sitting here thinking New Year’s is upon us and so we need some New Year’s resolutions. I contacted the Dimwits and this is the “Top Ten” Dimwits and their New Year’s resolutions:
1) Bill Clinton: To bag as many babes as possible before Hillary makes her presidential run.
2) Hillary Clinton: To develop a personality that doesn’t seem so b*tchy. And do something about Obama.
3) John Kerry: To actually stay on one side of an issue and to avoid contracting “foot-in-mouth” disease.
4) Ted Kennedy: To quit drinking so as to avoid red cheeks and a red nose and be confused for Santa.
5) John Edwards: To mess up his hair a bit and look more middle class.
6) Nancy Pelosi: To make sure there is enough Botox in here makeup case.
7) Jesse Jackson: To somehow attach himself to Obama and get to the White House.
Al Sharpton: To make a better plan and become a perpetual runner for President.
9) Queen Sheila: To become more photogenic so as not to crack anymore camera lens.
10) Harry Reid: To become more respectable and hope that Tim Johnson recovers.
No, she chose the name, with the help of Smacktle and me and some others. Smacktle just told me that my friend was crazy! Not because of the name, but her personality! She is a nut but I have known her so many years, when she does or says something crazy, I just tell everyone, nevermind, its just a “Nancy Thing.”
I’m the short, skinny one. Southerntragedy is the other short, skinny one. Ah, Never mind!
Just ask the doorman where the LST group is sitting — you will probably find us at the shuffleboard table, which is to the left as you come into Coaches.
per Breitbart:
An adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Saddam would be executed before 6 a.m. Saturday, or 10 p.m. Friday EST. Also to be hanged at that time were Saddam’s half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, the adviser said.

#111 Katfish, dahhhling, I sent you an e-mail about the pig races. Didn’t ya get it?
Just heard from my kid who went to the races tonight. He said there maybe was about 100 people there, they had pig calling contest, shirts, and all proceeds will go to Texas Childrens Hospital. He said they are having them again next friday.
Off to meet Neo and the girls. Hope to see you Yellerdog! I will probably a green bottled beer. Neo has blonde hair and I have brunette. Oh yeah, and wearing a beige outfit. Katfish, you in? Pssst! I’m bringing bail money!
G’day to you all from ‘Down Under’…I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and a safe one. May all your dreams (the good ones) come to fruition in 2007! Take care one and all.
Hard drinkin’, Corvette drivin’ Gerard J. “Jordy” Tollett (Visitors Bureau chief ) resigns. You might recall the footage of him spending a few hours mid day kicking back a few in a dim lit speak easy getting to to know the gals. Twas making 206K per year base salary and still gets a 111K city pension. I don’t expect to see him on the corner holding out a cup to passing motorists.
I called at about 3:45 and the gal said there were a lot of people there and they would have the races.
After avoiding rain, tornado watches, thunder, lightning, and I-10 traffic I arrived in time for the fireworks at 6:30. Got to meet the whole family, really nice folks. Lots of media there - Ch13, etc.
Crowd estimate from constable and others approx 250-300, in and out.
There was plenty of parking across the street and it was very well organized. Refreshments, porta-cans, and security were on site. Bleachers surrounded the racecourse, and round bales of hay sheilded the site from the roadway.
A good time was had by all! Next Friday will be another one.
First! For the first time.
First! For the first time.

No cover charge, but if some one wants to donate it will be greatly
appreciated. If bad weather will be rained out. Craig Baker
Neo: I’ll call you later to firm up plans.

I saw that.
My question is when are the masses or half the masses or hell even 1/5 of the masses going to make a stand for this Republic?
Once the illegals reach critical mass its over.
I wonder if we will still point the fingers at liberals?
If I were in Houston I would for darn sure be at the pig races.

the problem with you Dj is that you point fingers at the entire system of geovernment in this country.

You’ve been asked that question time and again, and you never answer it.
An update to #3. Is the administration shifting to a “collective right” argument on the 2nd amendment?

Dear Mr. Codrea:
Thank you for your comments on the human space flight requirements. This rule, including its security requirements, underwent coordination and review within the executive branch. It was reviewed and approved by the Executive Office of the President.
Your comments will be placed in the docket.
Sincerely,

I have info on three pieces of legislation that have been filed in Austin.
HB28: Relating to the eligibility of an individual born in this state whose
parents are illegal aliens to receive state benefits.
HB29: Relating to the imposition of a fee for money transmissions sent to
certain destinations outside the United States.
HCR 11: Directing the attorney general to seek recovery of money from the federal government for costs incurred by the state in dealing with illegal immigration and to demand federal enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Let’s see where these go and who supports what. Come on Dan!
OK ladies.. Get to work cleaning, scrubbing, sweeping and moping! It’s suppose to be healthy/good for you!http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6214655.stm
/ducks and skedaddles!
In need of a female to kiss come New Years and the Babe-O-Lino at the top of this column just might be the ticket. If none of the regulars here haven’t snagged her already, let me take a shot at her. (Providing she ain’t the wife of one of you - I do have certain moral standards)
linky no workie…try again.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/6214655.stm
Sarge since I am not allowed to slam you here I wont.
Get off your butt and do something…anything.
That is my answer.
I said earlier to those that take action THANK YOU.
Thanks for pointing out my problem sarge.
A citizen can sit around and cheerlead or they can take action.
He who does nothing is no better than the Katrina vics that sat around waiting.
What exactly does “We the People” mean?
#47 FourAlarm: Be our guest. However your standards may be aimed a tad high.
Go gettem’ Big Boy! We would like to have a full
“pucker” report come Jan. the tooth.
DJ;
You can tell us EXACTLY what you think we should be doing without slamming me.
Unless, of course, you know that most people will not like the solution you would propose.
so again:
What, EXACTLY, would the “something” that 1/5 of the masses should be doing in order to solve things the DJ way when you say this:
Apparently, by your defineition, if I go outside and kick a duck in the ass, that would be doing “anything” and I would have fulfilled the DJ description of what to do to keep us from losing all of our freedoms to a central government that is slowly taking them away from us.
i hate women that smoke cigars and have big feet….
It’s all the liberals fault! Yeah, that’s it. It’s those damn liberals! Stupid, no good, cowardly, commie pinko ba***rds they be. Now of course, me being Republican makes me smart, classy, brave, freedom loving, and a good Christian. The fact that I’ve registered as a republican is a true indicator of my high moral and ethical status.
Those dang liberals have ruined our world in the last 26 years even though the GOP has retained control over Congress or the Oval Office for the last 26 years or so. With the minor exception of 1992-1994. Things were bad then with ol’ Slick Willie in office and the Demoncrats runnin’ congress. During that time, I could feel the flames of H.E.-double hockey sticks burning the feet of all Americans. Things were awful around here.
Thank GOD we regained GOP control of Congress in ‘94 and kicked Slick Willie’s party to the curb in 2000. In the last 6 years, things have really improved with virtually no control from the other side. Now I know what you’re thinkin’ September 11th, a war, corruption, immigration. Those things are all the liberals and main stream media’s fault. If they only focused on the real stories about that no good JFK wannabe Kerry eating lunch alone, then we’d be in a righteous place.
If we could just exterminate them dang liberals and censor the public media. We could have peace in our nation while fighting in others. Heck, we could send all the dang liberals over to Iraq! They’re probably all Muslim, antifadeh, dhimmi, jihadist, turban wearin’, pig-hatin’ anti-American mongrels anyway.
Darn illegal immigrants, the Dhimmicrats want to pay to have ‘em in our nation. The liberals just want them so they can vote for their stupid commie party. Takin’ my tax dollars while they kill our innocent wimmen and children.

Sarge it just dawned on me why you take offense at my post.
You are an do nothing American.
Go out and kick a ducks ass. Thats the only ass your gonna kick. You get angry at my posts because obviously you think I am taking aim at you. If the shoe fits big boy. Put the damn thing on.
I will not go silently into the night.
Did you atleast sign the toll road petititon? It only takes a few strokes of the computer key board.
DJ
It’s pretty durned unfair of you to call us “do nothing americans” if you don;t tell us EXACTLY what we should be doing.
All you ever say is that the government is trying to take away our liberties and those that do nothing about it are contemptible.
Please—so that I can gain your respect:
What, EXACTLY, should 1/5 of the masses be doing in order to keep the government from taking all of our liberties?
slashdot
These are my two favorites. Boy we gotta a winner!
15. “The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.” —Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001
14. “I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.” —Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002
Dont confuse people here. I did not call them do nothing Americans.
I called you a do nothing American.
I’m wondering how getting 1/5 of the masses to sign a petition about toll roads is going to keep the gummint from taking all of our liberties——
Your logic is scary.
You either dont understand how we got this Great Republic or dont care. I think its apathy but am not sure. Either way its foolish.
Sign nothing…do nothing.
I am all out of quarters sarge.
Good bye!
And BTW, DFJ
I spent 10 years in the military, seven of thattime in the Reserve.
You might call that being a “Do nothing American>’
Can you tell us of what sacrifce you’ve made that comes close?
A couple weekends on the border with a cooler and some binoculars?
Neocon-Coaches on 290 and Jones? What time?
DJ
Please don’ go!
I REALLY REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHING!
Please tell me what we should be doing to keep the government from taking all of our liberties.
Or at least tell us why you don’ want to tell us what should be.
Sarge-if we lose our liberties, it will have nothing to do with the fact that we do or don’t have guns. It will be do to the fact, and this pertains to both liberal and conservative, that we are largely an apathetic and do nothing country when it comes to our government and politics. We have a lower percentage of people voting than almost any country in the world. Most people don’t know who their congressman is. They don’t know who their state reps are. They don’t read newspapers, magazines or watch t.v. news shows. This will be our downfall. Someone who would take away 1st amendment rights is a much scarier person than someone who would try to take away second amendment rights. Our power and ability to influence government flows from our 1st amendment rights, not our 2nd amendment rights
YD
I agree that the solution is that more people should vote.
But DJ claims we are being manipulated by the governmen/media complex and therefore such a solution is only window dressing. I mean, a government that can pull off 9/11 as a false flag operation can do just about anything, right?
At least, that’s what I get out of his posts for the past two years and his avoidance of giving a direct answer to my question.
And as far as your thinly veiled attack on the Second Amendment:
How well did that chinese guy do against that tank in Tianamen square?
If all those people had just one pistol and 6 rounds each, things would be a lot different today in China.
Love YellowDog or hate e’m.
His #64 is the facts.
Sarge thanks for serving our country. Our country is calling you to duty again. You just dont hear the call.
Also thanks for demeaning my border watchs. I almost lost my life last October sitting there with my cooler and binoculars by nice hispanics looking for work. I wouldnt have been sitting there if our government was doing its Constitutional duties.
Until you are in your grave you have a duty to serve.
We have to dismiss these media conspiracy nuts on each side. They use tthe media as a crutch. Media is nothing but a filter. An intelligent person will take from many different sources and draw his own conclusions, then vote his conscience. In fact i have even suggested to a few of the local talk radio hoststhat when someone ones to go on the air and complain abnout government, that they should be pre-screened and if they can’t answer basic question such as who is your state rep, who is your u.s. rep, where is your polling place, etc., etc, then they shouldn’t be able to voice an opinion.
Too many in the military WILL follow orders to disarm citizens and too many citizens will comply, submit and snitch.
You are right Sarge, we have gone so far to the left that the Central government has NOTHING to stop them in whatever they wish to do to us in these uS.
Good Luck on quitting, emmek. Thursday is my quit day. I’m trying the new medication.
You ladies stay out of trouble
at Coaches, ya hea’ ??
Happy New Year Ms. Neo, and all you other right wing lunatics.
This computer will be shut down until Tuesday.
Start…Turn Off…..
Call it manipulation or whatever.
Day in and day out we see missing woman, dead hikers, car chases, etc.
Why did the media not cover Joe Bannisters victory over the IRS?
Why did the media not cover the fact that CAFTA was passed even though several congressman said they voted no yet their votes turned up yes? Are car chases moere important?
Whatever the media decides is news is what we get. Whatever light they want to shine on it is how bright it gets.
#71 And whatever complains everybody have about the MSM, the MSM knows who butters their bread: the FCC.
MSM will never go too far. They are a dog on a leash and they know it.
Charles Taylor of NC voted against CAFTA. The media shunned this real news. Why?

Jamie that is why I believe 700 got rid of Jerry Doyle.
#64 YD
The Second Amendment is only necessary if the Fed tries to take it away.
I keep hearing your call DJ…and I keep asking you what I should do.
And you never tell me.
Maybe it’s that kind of thing that keeps us as “do nothings”
all you do is “warn” us about the destruction of our liberties, the government/media complex, the fake 9/11 attack—and then you tell us we’re all doing something wrong by not “doing anything”–but you never tell us what we should do.
#72 I am not familiar with the 700 and Doyle incident. I am not familiar with Doyle, either.
If I have to tell you what if anything you should do then you are out of the game sarge.
Do nothing sarge. Sit around just like the katrina vics. Everything will be OK..Big brother will take care of you.
Dont sign petitions, dont join citizen action groups, never call your congressmen, never write letters, never qusetion your government.
Everything will be OK.
You are a good slave.
YDD
#62
Yeah, that is the one. I’ve still got to get with Southerntragedy, EmmeKelley and Nancy Drew. Probably 6:30 or so.
Hey, Mom, where’s Granny?
Shannon,
Geez, I didn’t even know you smoked! Good luck. The medicine really does work! Wishing you and yours a very Happy and Smokeless New Year!
Jamie
Jerry Doyle questioned everything he thought was wrong with our gov on both sides of the aisle. Out of the blue he was gone. I emailed 700 as to why he was replaced by the ever so popular vitamin guy. I never received an answer.
It’s Friday afternoon and I’m sitting here thinking New Year’s is upon us and so we need some New Year’s resolutions. I contacted the Dimwits and this is the “Top Ten” Dimwits and their New Year’s resolutions:
1) Bill Clinton: To bag as many babes as possible before Hillary makes her presidential run.
2) Hillary Clinton: To develop a personality that doesn’t seem so b*tchy. And do something about Obama.
3) John Kerry: To actually stay on one side of an issue and to avoid contracting “foot-in-mouth” disease.
4) Ted Kennedy: To quit drinking so as to avoid red cheeks and a red nose and be confused for Santa.
5) John Edwards: To mess up his hair a bit and look more middle class.
6) Nancy Pelosi: To make sure there is enough Botox in here makeup case.
7) Jesse Jackson: To somehow attach himself to Obama and get to the White House.
9) Queen Sheila: To become more photogenic so as not to crack anymore camera lens.
10) Harry Reid: To become more respectable and hope that Tim Johnson recovers.
Please feel free to add to my list.
BTW, I assuming the 700 is Pat Robertson’s 700 Club. Which, I have not watched in decades.
#81
It’s because his ratings sucked so bad a vitamin guy would be just as good, and a lot cheaper.
sometimes, DJ, the simple solutions are the best ones.
DJ;
I beleive the same crystal ball that tells you 9/11 was an inside job is the one that is telling you I’m NOT doing those things.
Jamie
700 KSEV
Sarge
Thats funny. Too bad 700 did not email me back to confirm your delusions.
Just sit back. Big brother will take care of you.
#45: Where did you find that info?
And what is the likeliness of any of it passing?
Neo or anyone else going tonight. Would you be so kind as to get a few pics for me?
Thanks
DanielJames
Still trying to get a hold of Southerntragedy.
Hey ST - check your voice mail!
#45: Nevermind.. I found them.. have you read SB151 ?!?!
That’s freakin’ scary!
#88 Ah. That was the guy in the 2PM time slot.
Maybe I didn’t give him enought of a chance. I did not like him. When I listened to him it was like listening to Laura, whom I find very annoying.

#90
Can you provide a link?
DJ;
Let me get this straight:
You think that Dan Patrick is part of the government/media complex because he cancelled Jerry Doyle?
If I’m not right—then please tell me which conspiracy his cancellation DOES conform to.
Me, I thought it was because KSEV looks at the arbitron books and the bottom line—you know, like most businesses doo…
But wait—there’s that Government/Walmart complex going on too——
Well, it is 12:10 a.m. in Baghdad. Wonder when the noose will tighten?
Neo-I may be in attendance, but being the good Democrat I am, I will be expecting beers for free
EmmeKelley, Nancy Drew, Southerntragedy and whoever else is interested:
The mini brewhaha™ has been set. We’ll meet at Coaches (290 and Jones Rd.) at 6:30 or so. Look for us at the shuffleboard table.
DanielJames,
I’m taking my camera so I’ll get ya some pics!
If this is a mini Brewha then what the blank is everyone else doing? Come join us all for a early New Year toast.
Jamie
Do you listen to the vitamin guy?
Thank You Neocon
I wish I could attend.
No, I do not. I like to roam and listen to internet stuff.
I listen in the morning, Shawn and Pat and in the afternoon to Dan.
Every once in a while I listen to the doctors and the financial shows.

And I was still hoping I could collect on our bet! Whatever happened to the lunch at Taste of Texas!
Anyway, because I am a compassionate conservative, of course I’ll buy you a beer!

Is this the story you were speaking of?
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53558
Perfect example of why we need a fence/real border security and anything else is crap.
They can pass all the guest worker legislation they want but without protecting the borders we are not safe from Drugs, Thugs and Terror!
Oops! my 101 was from me. Nancy Drew was using my computer and I forgot to log her out!
I just remebered who Nancy Drew is.
Didnt Smacks give her that name?
DanielJames
No, she chose the name, with the help of Smacktle and me and some others. Smacktle just told me that my friend was crazy! Not because of the name, but her personality! She is a nut but I have known her so many years, when she does or says something crazy, I just tell everyone, nevermind, its just a “Nancy Thing.”
DanielJames
If it turns out that it is just the girls tonight, how are you going to explain the pictures to your wife? tee hee!
How wiil I know y’all?
I’m the short, skinny one. Southerntragedy is the other short, skinny one. Ah, Never mind!
Just ask the doorman where the LST group is sitting — you will probably find us at the shuffleboard table, which is to the left as you come into Coaches.
How will we know you? Yellow shirt?
Yellowdog
I will be the normal looking one!
I guess no one wants to go to the Woodlands and watch Texas Tech.
I had forgotten just how CLOSE those pig races are to us!
Might not be there until around 8. Will that be too late?
Yellowdog
8 will be fine. Some of the others won’t be there until 7:30 or so. See you then.
How do you spell hijacked - Fort Bend style?

No naked pictures ok?
I cant explain that.
GREAT NEWS:
Saddam Hussein is scheduled to be hung by 9PM tonight central time
flygal
per Breitbart:
An adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Saddam would be executed before 6 a.m. Saturday, or 10 p.m. Friday EST. Also to be hanged at that time were Saddam’s half-brother Barzan Ibrahim and Awad Hamed al-Bandar, the former chief justice of the Revolutionary Court, the adviser said.
Break out the champagne and the tweeters
Although I am sure in Baghdad and Tikrit there will be much violence
#111 Katfish, dahhhling, I sent you an e-mail about the pig races. Didn’t ya get it?
Just heard from my kid who went to the races tonight. He said there maybe was about 100 people there, they had pig calling contest, shirts, and all proceeds will go to Texas Childrens Hospital. He said they are having them again next friday.
Off to meet Neo and the girls. Hope to see you Yellerdog! I will probably a green bottled beer. Neo has blonde hair and I have brunette. Oh yeah, and wearing a beige outfit. Katfish, you in? Pssst! I’m bringing bail money!
G’day to you all from ‘Down Under’…I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and a safe one. May all your dreams (the good ones) come to fruition in 2007! Take care one and all.
Hard drinkin’, Corvette drivin’ Gerard J. “Jordy” Tollett (Visitors Bureau chief ) resigns. You might recall the footage of him spending a few hours mid day kicking back a few in a dim lit speak easy getting to to know the gals. Twas making 206K per year base salary and still gets a 111K city pension. I don’t expect to see him on the corner holding out a cup to passing motorists.
And just another last word before the year slips by…I wish you would stop posting my pics without permission!
Ahh, a good ol’ Texas Pig Race!!
I called at about 3:45 and the gal said there were a lot of people there and they would have the races.
After avoiding rain, tornado watches, thunder, lightning, and I-10 traffic I arrived in time for the fireworks at 6:30. Got to meet the whole family, really nice folks. Lots of media there - Ch13, etc.
Crowd estimate from constable and others approx 250-300, in and out.
There was plenty of parking across the street and it was very well organized. Refreshments, porta-cans, and security were on site. Bleachers surrounded the racecourse, and round bales of hay sheilded the site from the roadway.
A good time was had by all! Next Friday will be another one.
“shielded” like in protected…
9:16….
Saddam has gone to Detroit, or, has officially begun his homosexual relationship with Satan.
Chris is unavailable for comment.
Saddam Be Gone. Time’s up, tough guy.
Is this woman Kinky’s sister?
She’s the reason that muslims wear burkhas, vlou.
