Also please let me know the final count as much as possible. I need to purchase the hamburgers, hotdogs and buns soon

Kinda hard to believe the anti-rights cultists when they are yelling we need a law and the federal government in order to do background checks, eh?

A tyrannical rule cannot in any reasonable construction be accounted lawful, and therefore the disturbance of such a government cannot be esteemed seditious, much less traitorous.

10 Tornadoes reported last night across north Texas. We didn’t have one in Arlington but my son (out picking up his wife & not taking cover) says he saw rotation just south of Bunker BS.

* – at least I am physically; mentally I’m not so sure yet. Spent 45 minutes in walk in closet with 2 dogs, a 10 month old, a 2 year old and a 4 year old. While the alert sirens wailed in the background and She Who Lets Me Make Her Coffee Every Morning kept running out to see if she could see the rotation.

Edited to add – Saw these at the last Self-Reliance Expo – Storm Dorms Storm Shelters – thought it was a great idea. Made the mistake of showing it to SWLMMHCEM last night. Going to have to figure out how to finance it.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday that the White House counsel’s office was briefed last month on the investigation into the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups.

Carney said the IRS inspector general notified the White House counsel’s office during the week of April 22 that it was completing a review of the IRS office in Cincinnati that targeted conservative political groups for special examination.

If his administration was told last month and they didn’t inform him of the issue, then that shows President Obama does not have the necessary leadership skills or values needed.

If he knew of the issue and took no action, in fact seems to be covering up his knowledge and lack of action; then he isn’t fulfilling his oath of office.

Add this to the Benghazi debacle, the increased spying on citizens, the authorization to kill American citizens without due process, Solyndra and on and on; there is a clear picture shown of a man who is great at running for office but unfit to run the office. And let’s not forget the number of campaign promises broken; Hey President Obama, just when will you be closing Gitmo?

And yes, I would be saying this if it was a Republican/Conservative in office. I’m tired of the government, all branches, all levels; running out of control and our elected representatives failing to step and do the right thing.

With this as his point -

Seriously, if you bozos think you stand a chance against one of these–you are far more reality challenged than I ever gave you credit for being.

Well Laci seems to forget a simple fact of life; all products are manufactured somewhere. Now where oh where could those awesome machines be built?

When you visit Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in Grand Prairie, several things become pretty obvious.

One, it’s a high-security facility where you can’t go anywhere without an access ID and a reason to be there.

Two, its immense size makes you realize there’s a lot going on behind those locked doors.

And three, the people who work there take a lot of pride in the work they do and the products they design and manufacture for the nation’s defense.

Oh…just done the street from here. Wonder if the people like Laci the Dog who are so quick to point out the potential of devices like this every consider who builds them, who transports them, who maintains the contracts?

Or think about where the military recruits come from or where the veterans live after they get out. It is absolutely amazing to me that so many people who claim the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is ‘militia only’ forget basic facts like these.

No pro-rights advocate that I know is advocating a civil war; unlike the majority of the anti-rights advocates, we know the toll that would take. What we do want is a government that respects the bounds established by the Constitution. Not one running wild over civil rights (PATRIOT Act, IRS, etc), not one taking people’s property so they can improve their tax revenue (Kelo v New London), not one running guns to Mexico so they can push more restrictions while claiming rapid prototyping is a violation of I.T.A.R., not one that thinks  groping every passenger is the correct way to find a terrorist (Hey TSA, how many have you caught?).

I do think that the large government / limited government divide is unsustainable long term. Something is going to have to change; I pray that it is peaceable.

My answer to those who say “There is no way people armed with rifles and pistols can stand up to the military” is simple; who says we will have to stand against them? They might just stand with us.
