Words Of Wisdom

Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill instructor, and part
stand-up comic (Thunder Ranch is a firearms training facility in Arizona ).

Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and
life as we know it in the civilized world.

"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if
necessary."

"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way.."

"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed
with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it's
going to be empty."

"If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin', you
should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off
and put it on a stick."

"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your
back pocket.. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the
tooth fairy... and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."

"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."

"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else
becomes available."

"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If
you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for."

"Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good.."

"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work, but
I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much
the universal language."

"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems.. How long you live
depends on how well you do it."

"You cannot save the planet but you may be able to save yourself and your
family."

"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone makes
us go away, and either way, it will be exciting."

More Excellent Gun Wisdom.......

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important
than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just
kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter
recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do
you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'

6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on
his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?' 'No ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
brought my rifle.'

8. Beware of the man who only has one gun, because he probably knows how to
use it very well.

9. If you’re leaving scorch-marks, you need a bigger gun.

10. That which does not kill you has made a tactical error.

11. There is no ‘overkill.’ There is only ‘open fire’ and ‘time to reload.’


'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but
because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton

A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.

If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, you ought to take these words of wisdom to heart. Learn them,believe them,and live them. Most especially the last one.

Bubba & Billy Joe

Now a little humor to lighten things up.

Bubba and Billy Joe are walking down the street, and they see a sign on a store which reads,
"Suits $5.00 each, shirts $2.00 each, trousers $2.50 each.

Bubba says to his pal, " Billy Joe, Look here! We could buy a whole gob of these, take ' em back to E'town , sell ' em and make a fortune. Just let me do the talkin ' cause if they hear your accent, they might think we ' re ignorant, and not wanna sell that stuff to us. Now, I ' ll talk in a slow Ohio drawl so's they don't know we is from Kentucky ."

They go in and Bubba says with his best fake Ohio drawl, "I'll take 50 of them suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them there shirts at $2.00 each, 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.50 each. I ' ll back up my pickup and....."

"The owner of the shop interrupts, "Ya'll from Kentucky , ain't ya?"

"Well...yeah," says a surprised Bubba. "How come ya'll knowed that?"
"Because this is a dry cleaners"

Is the NWO Here?

Photobucket

The Copenhagen Conference is all about trying to determine the real story about "climate change", isn't it? WRONG!

It's about imposing a One World Government on Earth. What Hitler or Stalin couldn't do by force of arms, these "leaders" are going to impose by "international treaty".

This is what dEar Leader meant by "Hope" and "Change". He is a "plant" backed up by by Globalists such as George Soros to help in implementing their agenda. And 52% of YOU helped them in their quest of Global Domination.

Ten years ago, people who warned about a coming new world order bossed by a global government were called paranoid conspiracy theorists. Is the march towards a one world government still a conspiracy theory, even as its architects openly announce its implementation?

Ban Ki-Moon, president of the U.N. says: "We will establish a global governance structure to monitor and manage the implementation of this." (a global tax on GDP and financial transactions)

“We need to have a very strong, robust, binding political deal that will have an immediate operational effect. This is not going to be a political declaration, just for the sake of declaration. It is going to be a binding political deal, which will lead to a legally binding treaty next year,” he told the Times’ Bruce Wallace, adding that a formal treaty woul

"The War on Terror meets the Chicago Way" is how Michelle Malkin describes Obambi's latest blunder.

An Excellent read, as usual,by Ms. Malkin.

A good example of the corruption that was discussed in my prior post.

A Message for YOU

Alex Jones has a message for the American people that should be heard far and wide. Listen to the message and follow his advice.

Reflect on what is happening in our government and to our country, before it becomes to late to change it without a violent revolution, for if we can not change peacefully through the ballot box, we WILL have to change it with violence.

The system IS becoming corrupt and it is OUR fault. It is up to US to do something about it.

It WON'T be easy, almost certainly not be pleasant, but if we don't do it, and soon, we will cease to be worthy of the trust our Forefathers placed in us, and we will no longer be free men and women.

The Swiss...

The Swiss have the right idea. The most important point in the whole video is when the interviewee says:

"The key to freedom is the ability to defend oneself"

FOUR generations of arms issued by the government to the people ?!?
They may not have a 2nd. Amendment, but they sure understand it and live up to the principle of it!

I do NOT espouse that the government issues weapons to every Citizen; I do not think it would be feasible financially or culturally to do so here, BUT, for the sake of all the principles our Founding Fathers found to be dear, I request, no DEMAND, that our government, at ALL levels,STOP trying to take our ability to arm ourselves away.

Quote of the Day

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

Unfortunately, it seems that time may be at hand again in the very near future, only this time the Enemy is home-grown; nevertheless the tyranny is the same.

"Hope and "Change"?

Photobucket

Looks like the Obama Administration is starting to play hardball in it's goal to take over 1/6 of the U.S. economy, and they are willing to risk not only further harm to our economy to do it, but also our national security...and if you don't think the disruption of the Strategic Command doesn't risk our security, you're to too stupid to vote.

Thanks a lot, you fifty twoers!

The Letter

I got this letter from a friend in my E-mail today and thought I'd pass it on..If we could all just remember the REASON for the Season, we'd have a much better world.


A letter about Christmas --


It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season.

How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just get along and love one another.

Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.

Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.

If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it:

1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.

2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.

3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the wording on the cards his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him that you'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up... it will be nice hearing from you again.

4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them.

5 Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.

6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference.

7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their employees spend the day in church and at home with their families

8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name.

9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.

10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine.

Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember :

I LOVE YOU,

JESUS

Memories from 1987.

Do You Remember 1987......

Photobucket


I had forgotten all of this. Do you remember when the senators were giving Ollie North such a bad time? This brings it all into perspective doesn't it?

Do you remember 1987......

You might be interested in this forgotten bit of information.........

It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.

There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!

He was being drilled by a senator, 'Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?'

Ollie replied, 'Yes, I did, Sir..'

The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, 'Isn't that just a little excessive?'

'No, sir,' continued Ollie.

'No? And why not?' the senator asked.

'Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir.'

'Threatened? By whom?' the senator questioned..

'By a terrorist, sir' Ollie answered.

'Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?'

'His name is Osama bin Laden, sir' Ollie replied.

At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued.. Why are you so afraid of this man?' the senator asked.

'Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of', Ollie answered.

'And what do you recommend we do about him?' asked the senator.

'Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth.'

The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.

Photobucket

By the way, that senator was Al Gore!


Also :

Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called 'political prisoners.'

However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher,'insisted' that all prisoners be released.

Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center . This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first
identified.

It was censored in the US from all later reports.

If you agree that the American public should be made aware of this fact, pass this on.

Pass this information to all your friends - it is 8 years strong.

Justice ?

Photobucket

So called "justice" in Great Britain.

A man and his brother were given prison sentences of 30 and 39 months respectively for defending his family from a violent criminal; meanwhile the criminal was given what amounts to no penalty at all.

This is what happens when the principles of private property and personal self defense fall victim to "feel good" Political Correctness. We are not far behind the curve on this perversity here in America; if we don't change the course we're following soon.

Up becomes down, in becomes out; and common sense becomes a crime.

Photobucket Nicki

UPDATE: Are the Brits insane?

THIS STORY, in conjunction to the story above may go some way towards explaining the actions of the brothers in their treatment of their home invader above...when a citizen is arrested,tried and convicted for doing his civic duty as he understood it;and when their is a continued history of police failing to respond to crimes in a timely manner, or the court failing to impose just sentences on those convicted of a crime, is it any wonder that any SANE person might try to take full measures in their own protection?

Choice quote by the "Judge" involved: "This is an unusual case, but in law there is no dispute that Mr Clarke has no defense to this charge."

"The intention of anybody possessing a firearm is irrelevant."

While I realize there are differences between the British and American systems of jurisprudence, it seems to me that any system in which intent is not a consideration is a broken system of justice, that no longer provides justice to either victim or offender.

There is the sterile "letter of the Law" and there is the "spirit of the law" and any system that adheres strictly to the former without consideration of the latter is no justice system at all.

TOOLS EXPLAINED


DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching
flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the
chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the
freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner
where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere
under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes
fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time
it takes you to say, 'Oh SH-- '

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their
holes until you die of old age.

SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor
touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board
principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable
motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more
dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt
heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to
transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various
flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the
grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing
race.

TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood
projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground
after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack
handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops
to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit
into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of
the outside edge.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength
of everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under
lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil
on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip
out Phillips screw heads.

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used
to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and
butchering your palms.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or
bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays
is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts
adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of
cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly
well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic
bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic
parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in
use.

DAMN-IT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage
while yelling 'DAMN-IT' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most
often, the next tool that you will need.

ROUTER: Intended for shaping edges of wood, often starts on its own when
changing tool bits and commences removing flesh from your fingers.

Bad Poultry Jokes

The Bad Rooster Joke

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called pullets, and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs. The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced.
That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John went to investigate.
The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John's amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the county fair and Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result: The judges not only awarded Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize" but they also awarded him the "Pullet Surprise" as well

Love in the Kitchen

A man's wife was standing in the kitchen, preparing their usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the 'T' shirt that she normally slept in. When her husband walked into the kitchen, barely awake, she turned to him and said softly, "You've got to make love to me this very moment!"
His eyes lit up as he thought, "I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day!"
Not wanting to lose the moment, the husband embraced his wife and then gave it his all, right there on the kitchen table. When it was all over she said, "Thanks," and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.
Happy, but a little puzzled, the man asked, "What was that all about?"
She explained, "The egg timer's broken."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Loving Turkey

A farmer's wife comes home the day before Thanksgiving only to hear strange noises coming from the kitchen. When she walks in, she was shocked to see her husband engaged in a lascivious act with a dead turkey. The exhausted farmer looks up and says "hey honey, how am I doing?"
The farmer's wife shakes her head in disappointment and says "No, no no... I told you to PLUCK the bird!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ordering Chicken

A man studied the menu long and hard, and finally turned to the waiter for help.
”Well,” said the waiter, “today our special is chicken on a bed of wild rice with green beans almandine and a nice side salad.”
”That sounds great. How is your chicken prepared?”
“We break it to him very gently and tell him it’s nothing personal.”

THINK, don't Drink when you drive

With the Holiday Christmas season in full swing and all the parties and good times in evidence, it's that time for the warning you should keep in mind the whole year long, DON'T drink and drive! The YouTube below should be taken to heart, it COULD happen to YOU!

I spent twelve years dealing with the aftermath of people that "had drunk just a few beers", and it was NEVER pretty...and sometimes tragic.
