So I went into town today

I went to cash a check that the .GOV doesn't need to know about.
On the way back I stopped at a pawn shop and almost bought a SMLE carbine for $230 except that the sales-people were busy with a lot of other people and I didn't see one box of .303 anywhere.

so I was on the way home when I saw...

...And said to myself- should I? It doesn't look that crowded...
Then I was turning in from the far driveway, I saw the overflow lot:

So I put $140 in the Paypal bank and came home to hoard the rest.

Happy birthday TEXAS!

...And you thought it was going to be something about the Alamo...

The UnanimousDeclaration of Independence
made by the
Delegates of the People of Texas
in General Convention
at the town of Washington
on the 2nd day of March 1836.

When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.
When the Federal Republican Constitution of their country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of their government has been forcibly changed, without their consent, from a restricted federative republic, composed of sovereign states, to a consolidated central military despotism, in which every interest is disregarded but that of the army and the priesthood, both the eternal enemies of civil liberty, the everready minions of power, and the usual instruments of tyrants.
When, long after the spirit of the constitution has departed, moderation is at length so far lost by those in power, that even the semblance of freedom is removed, and the forms themselves of the constitution discontinued, and so far from their petitions and remonstrances being regarded, the agents who bear them are thrown into dungeons, and mercenary armies sent forth to force a new government upon them at the point of the bayonet.
When, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness.

So I got done with my other job today

And Karen and I went to Hondo for dinner, where we found every eatery almost brimming with customers. After ending up at Pizza Hut with almost no customers (for good reason), I realized that it was March 1st and the Sequester didn't affect all those .GOV handouts today.

This brings up two important points:
1- If your old boss really needs someone to use a rock drill, it's ok to get $20/hr (cash) for sitting on a noisy machine for 8 hours.

2- That fiscal cliff we're supposed to worry about is more like a sidewalk curb.

Something to think about

Remember the MSM and it's Democrat allies in DeeCee complaining about Bush when the gas prices were this high?
Then we also had those evil, greedy oil Speculators running up the price of gas just to hurt poor people.

Kinda quiet out there in Liberal-land right now isn't it?

Fox News- rule-5

Via You-toob-

If only....

In Sundays news that's not

How about blowing $1K on something that should be free?

But that's just my opinion- because I never could see paying for something you couldn't actually...touch- much less use as intended.
I can go to any bar and pay less than at a strip-joint and watch FREE p()rn on any computer around- and NOT have to anti-up paper money for the experience.

Lets see if I can wrap my brain around this-

Sheriff Joe, the gunslinger who told his wife that all she had to do was take two sound shots at an unknown sound- is an expert on morality now?

The same party that revels in how many unborn children they kill is now in the morality business regarding a legal tool?

 ...Biden argued that there is “a moral price to be paid for inaction," and tried to shame lawmakers who are hesitant about voting for President Obama’s gun-control agenda.

“I can’t imagine how we will be judged as a society if we do nothing,” he said. “If you’re concerned about your political survival, you should be concerned about the survival of our children. And guess what? I believe the price to be paid politically should go to those who refuse to act. . . . The American people are with us.”

Rule-5 changiness

Today we'll step away from women who know what food is and supply some pics for an ever growing number of searches for Bobbi Starr.

But, that's all you get.
If you want to get the whole Bobbi Starr experience you need to g00gle her images with the safe setting turned off- IYKWIMAIKYD.

Wind

It's been blowing here for the last three days at a good 20-25MPH all day and night along with being overcast.
I told the wife to imagine it being like this for three months straight, except that there are no trees and you'd almost feel like you're at NAS Adak.

Just FYI

On this date 68 years ago, MCB 133 was mistakenly assigned the first wave in the invasion of Iwo Jima.
We then had the questionable honor of having the most casualties on any Sea Bees regiment in that war.

A womans body, a womans choice

Unless your a 16 year-old girl who doesn't want an abortion.
Then a set of selfish Liberal parents want to force her to have one.

The lawyers were first contacted by the boy's mother, who said that the girl's parents were threatening both teens, according to Casey, who said the center then contacted the girl and offered their services gratis.
The lawsuit alleged that the girl's mother threatened to "slip (the teen) an abortion pill," took her daughter's phone and car, and kept her home from school to punish her for choosing not to abort her fetus. The mother told the teen that she was "making the biggest mistake of her life" by choosing to have the child and that the mother herself had undergone numerous abortions, so her daughter should, too, the lawsuit said.
It added that the pregnant girl's father told her he "was going to look into canceling" her health insurance. He texted his daughter that she "needs an ass whoopin'," the document said.
The parents told their daughter she could "continue to live in misery" in their home or she could "have the abortion and tell everyone it was a miscarriage," the lawsuit added.

So she has to sue them to be left alone.

I bumped into Marcia bradey the other day-

She says "HI".

H/T PISSED.

So, you ARE rationing health care-

For the most needy Americans.

The ones with pre-existing conditions that were one of the main propaganda points of 0bamacare.
Because nothing you do is what you say is going to happen.

Just like Sarah Palins Death panels that you're mews media and comedians made fun of...

In a totally unanticipated happenstance-

I was thinking of this yesterday, and saw that meteor hit Russia (and I bet a lot of pants needed to be changed in the Kremlins anti-missile defense Dept).

Rule-5 Valentines day

The Tea Party site-

Updates all night or another DOS attack from those ever tolerant Liberals?

Because tolerance means shutting down anything you don't agree with.


UPDATE-
They were just migrating to a bigger site, plus the old one had a server problem.

Excuse me for noticing this...

But- if you don't speak English- how do you know what was said?

Guzman, testifying through a Spanish interpreter, said she began walking away after she was splashed with beer and feared how police might react.
As she walked away, Guzman said, she was knocked to the ground and heard a voice say, "That's what you get for throwing liquid, water, at police."

Really???

Defense attorney Fortunato N. Perri Jr. urged Dugan to acquit Josey and condemned the impact of videos gone viral on the Internet.
"You don't convict a man on a seven-second clip on YouTube," he said.
--Unless it's a Republican, I guess

I didn't know 0bama was in Italy

Looks like he's visiting the Pope:

Just not feeling it

Here have some free ice cream-

Oooops, sorry.

I'm going to make a prediction about the next presidential election

Or it might be the 2020 election, but it will be soon.

I'm going to say that when it looks like the  Democrats (and their RINO 'friends') can't hold all the financial plates in the air anymore, and they know the whole thing will come crashing down- making Greece look like a financial wonder.
That the Democrats will throw the election so the Republican party gets all the blame-- and they won't even know what hit them, because they'll be so busy telling each other that "the people have finally recognized our fiscal restraint!"

Then as the Stupid Party usually does, they'll be blindsided by the avalanche of debt and accusations from the MSM of causing it all and crushing the GOP forever.

I just hope we have a better party waiting in the wings that can will fight back as hard as the Dems are giving it.

 presidential

Rule-5 Thursday on Friday

Ok, I had Monday off- so here's some Hobbit luuuv for you-

In addition to Rosie, who is our starlet today?

Braniff Airways?

OMG! Do you see that?

Ban assault boots too!

This makes as much sense as their PSH about black plastic guns, doesn't it?

H/T to I can't remember..

Something for Liberals to think about

I came on this quote from a favorite author, and saw how well it fit todays enlightened crowd:

“Huxley: "Tell me something Bryce, do you know the difference between a Jersey, a Guernsey, a Holstein, and an Ayershire?"
Bryce: "No."
Huxley: "Seabags Brown does."
Bryce: "I don't see what that has to do..."
Huxley: "What do you know about Gaelic history?"
Bryce: "Not much."
Huxley: "Then why don't you sit down one day with Gunner McQuade. He is an expert. Speaks the language, too."
Bryce: "I don't..."
Huxley: " What do you know about astronomy?"
Bryce: "A little."
Huxley: "Discuss it with Wellman, he held a fellowship."
Bryce: "This is most puzzling."
Huxley: "What about Homer, ever read Homer?"
Bryce: "Of course I've read Homer."
Huxley: "In the original Greek?"
Bryce: "No"
Huxley: "Then chat with Pfc. Hodgkiss. Loves to read the ancient Greek."
Bryce: "Would you kindly get to the point?"
Huxley: "The point is this, Bryce. What makes you think you are so goddam superior? Who gave you the bright idea that you had a corner on the world's knowledge? There are privates in this battalion who can piss more brains down a slit trench then you'll ever have. You're the most pretentious, egotistical individual I've ever encountered. Your superiority complex reeks. I've seen the way you treat men, like a big strutting peacock. Why, you've had them do everything but wipe your ass. "


Without cheating- any guesses who it is?
He was a WWII marine and a prolific Pro-Isrealie author.

Ahhh- Slick Willey

We always know where your mind is at:

Arab Spring 2.0

And where is 0bama calling for "democracy" in Egypt now?
If I remember right, it didn't take this long for President "Smart Diplomacy" to call for President Assad to step down after the "Arab Spring" riots started the first time.

Now that he has a fellow traveler in charge, we don't care about democracy and won't call for Morsy to step down...for the good of the people?

Just in case you didn't know

Because positive news travels slower than bad, there is a Conservative site to counter FBs Liberal slant.

I got there from The Blaze, so I'll send you there, too.
I've been on since this morning and there is a definite positive vibe, unlike Liberal sites I've been at.


UPDATE:
6:04PM Saturday-
Congrats, we flooded them so much we crashed their site!
It's a good problem to have.

Barrys got a gun

The Left has come undone....
What will those Lefties doOoo?

Evidence of the first and only time 0bama shot a gun.
 They won't show the one taken two seconds later when he's dropping it like a girl...

UPDATE:
Compare and contrast....

HMmmmmm...........

Dear gun-grabbers

I just wanted to let you know that whatever you do, there's a workaround.

I was just surfing Gunbroker and decided to see what they had in unregisted and unregulated pistols.
See these are that way because YOU people think they're not dangerous.
So they can be bought by anyone, through the mail any time- without background checks and records.
Because they only shoot that antique black powder and we can see where you are!

BUT WAIT! There's more- If you have a .44 Remington- you can buy this to make it a modern pistol firing .45 Colt LC.

Granted, it's not a Glock with the power to kill thousands at one time, but it's an unregistered, unregulated modern firearm that the .GOV doesn't know we have.


Or- we could just make our own EBRs too.
