| ont (doomsday it was always doomsday)![]() Ah my sweet sweet moronettes you have not been forgotten - I read your comments, I hear your thoughts...
And here is your latest reading. yeah. Maybe when it comes it'll be quick. doubtful.
And here's pretty much every economic chart these days. As if it matters anymore. And never forget that we're being led by the 'best and the brightest'... Is this their country now? How can that happen? There must be something we can do.
How about..or maybe...what if...uh no...no I guess not.
so...so how can we survive? in what time we have left. okay avoid the food riots... get used to the new currencies... when they come for you, confess early and often for less pain... perhaps a local leader will feed you for a while...
But, but WAIT...we still control the House, we have leaders. Surely they can stop it all? no I guess not. But what about the supreme court? well fuck. But we have pundits, opinion leaders, smart people, bloggers...maybe they can lead us out of darkness? No. They get better ratings and make far more money when we lose. They will never lose.
But surely someone - maybe even one of you - will come forward and lead us? You? you - a pathetic poser in a human suit? yeah right.
so is that it? is this how it ends?
wait, wait....we can do something! don't let the dream die
this post is brought to you by your hopes, your works, your labors of vanity. All is vanity.

Honestly, anybody who has been around dogs knows you don't justreach out and pet a dog who doesn't know you. You alwayslet a dog sniff your hand first and take account of his mood. Clearly Barney was in no mood to be petted by a bunch of fuckwits. Scotties are not Golden Retrievers who love everyone; they're one-man dogs and aloof until they get to know you.

Statement from Pres Bush on Barney:
“Laura and I are sad to announce that our Scottish Terrier, Barney, has passed away. The little fellow had been suffering from lymphoma and after twelve and a half years of life, his body could not fight off the illness. “Barney and I enjoyed the outdoors. He loved to accompany me when I fished for bass at the ranch. He was a fierce armadillo hunter. At Camp David, his favorite activity was chasing golf balls on the chipping green. Barney guarded the South Lawn entrance of the White House as if he were a Secret Service agent. He wandered the halls of the West Wing looking for treats from his many friends. He starred in Barney Cam and gave the American people Christmas tours of the White House. “Barney greeted Queens, Heads of State, and Prime Ministers. He was always polite and never jumped in their laps. Barney was by my side during our eight years in the White House. He never discussed politics and was always a faithful friend. Laura and I will miss our pal.” Posted by: Jumbo Shrimp at February 01, 2013 10:44 PM (DGIjM) 161

CNN Breaking News - Sen. Menendez's office has issued a new statement in regards to the ongoing accusations that has embroiled in a sordid web of underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic.
"The Senator is deeply offended by all these baseless accusations of underage sex while on vacation. If there had been any kind of discharge he swears it was accidental and not at all negligent." ------------ We hope this is just make believe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaCtlwWGut0 Evidently, In the1960's, the Middle East markets for American cola drinks were divided by the Arab boycott of Israel. In those parts, Coca-Cola was sold only in Israel. Pepsi Cola was sold only in the Middle Eastern countries that made war with Israel, and the neighboring Arab countries - who also participated in the boycott of any company trading with Israel. These were the real "Cola Wars". Coke was the drink that Israeli soldiers drank after they took the Sinai, the Golan Heights, and the Old City of Jerusalem. Never knew 'til today. F*#k Pepsi!

I think there's a good chance we pull out of this. The Republican party is broken like the Whigs, but the Democrat party is hollow. Conservative voters are still out there.If a somewhat well respected Republican leader leads us to a new small 'l' libertarian party, conservatives and a lot of libertarian minded young voters, including some Democrats will abandon the hollow party. The Democrat party only has one core principle left, hating Republicans, and everyone knows it. Maybe Rand Paul, maybe some Ross Perot without the crazy will show up. There are a lot of people disaffected with the Republicansand the Democrats who just stay home. Posted by: JustLikeDavidHasselhoff at February 01, 2013 11:20 PM (3PHCO) 377

If there is an afterlife, then we should do what is pleasing to God, and fight for what is right regardless of the cost.
If there is no afterlife, then we should fight for a world and a country worth living in. I grow weary of this defeatism, even if it is a joke. Do you really think America can be beaten by those stupid, petty little shits? Is Barack Motherfucking Obama stronger than the American spirit? Simply to ask the question indicates how foolish it is. Obama, Jon Stewart, Piers Morgan, Harry Reid -- these are not conquerors. They are the last desperate, spiteful remnants of a dying ideology. They aren't winning, they're lashing out in rage and humiliation, like Hitler ordering German cities blown up because the people refused to die for him any more. What it will take is patience, persistence, and work. Destroy them one at a time. Build, organize, and speak out. Hell, break a few axe handles over their thick, empty skulls if we must. Remember: anyone can be a patriot and believe in America when things are going well. It's who you are when the skies are dark that matters. Stop whining, stop sulking, stop breast-beating and weeping. Fight! Posted by: Trimegistus at February 01, 2013 11:23 PM (fdHER) 400

GGE, I am still planning to get to NC one of these days. However, this weekend, I finally get the chance to go shoot my new-ish rifle. I'm way too excited about this (after I had a derrrrr moment cleaning the factory grease from it). Hope we get to meet before the DOOOOOOM takes us all.

Navycopjoe: I know a guy who was born in France, his family came to the US in the early '60's and settled in Chicago (his dad was a chef). The father of one of his school friends was a Little League coach and, since back in those days Americanizing immigrants was believed to be a good thing, took my friend to Wrigley Park to introduce him to baseball. The Cards were playing the Cubs that day and my friend remembers a black guy was pitching for the Cards, so it had to be the fearsome Bob Gibson. My friend was this little French kid who could barely speak English and he knew fuckall about the Cards-Cubs rivalry. He announced he liked the Cardinals because he thought the red and white uniforms and the birds on the bats looked damn sharp. His friend's dad reacted like the little frog kid had thrown acid in his face. He turned to him and said fiercely "You live in North Chicago, we are CUBS FANS in north Chicago, you DO NOT root for the dirty birds!" Well, shit, OK, then. The Cards went on to beat the Cubs by, like 14-0.
My friend (who is, indeed, throughly Americanized), continues to root for the Cubs, but thinks he would be a happier man today if he followed his first impulse. Posted by: Donna V. at February 01, 2013 11:28 PM (BStAJ) 426
sven, when were you in Waco? I was at Baylor from 81-87 (BA and MA). Last time I was there, the areas around the campus were way too cleaned up. None of the old houses where they sold barbeque out of their kitchen, and had a coke machine on the porch. And Health Camp. Yum.

And the political down-button, well, that's just part of our life now. It was sort of fun to watch people react in different ways, work their way up, or down.
But to listen to prematurely middle aged black-flagged throat slitters compare their zero calorie diet "sodas" (where the hell did you get that, Westhcestah County? It's pop ferchrissakes) like it's some kind of gore may food, or vintage wine? Get the fuck real. Hey, it's inside a computer. You can at least pretend you drink and smoke. Cheeze.

I was nice about it, I only took two of the 3 boxes of .45ACP. I missed out on the .223, but fortunately I have plenty for now. 85gr FMJ, not round-nosed though, I usually look for 230gr round nose. I also reloaded my last 99 bullets, 230gr JHP, and there are almost no .45 bullets to be found now. Everyone is out of everything everywhere, but I have plenty of .45ACP...for now... If anyone has a Mosin keep in touch, I have enough 54R for the average Russian peasant to re-fight WW2. We will have to pre-arrange meeting points for the revolution...

I wouldn't by any stretch describe myself as a "prepper".
But, I did buy that over-priced rifle, have reserves in the pantry, stored sheet copper and pipe at Dad's shop (and I've been watching Moonshiners - and have the recipe), have revisited and moved to forefront the "how-to" books (in the eventuality the interwebz ain't available) and, we do have "go-bags". But, that's all very minimal. We'll see what the future holds. But I'm really hoping, and praying, that my little bit of "emergency preparedness" is rendered moot. In our lifetime... But let's see how we go, in the next 4 years? Posted by: Capt. Backfire at February 01, 2013 11:47 PM (mkb9H) 505
Only 11:30 and I'm checking in. Maet, you made your fucking point. Move on. Has anyone ever accidentally gone to an embarrassing movie. I mean you took your mom, dad, date, whatever. For example I took my whole family to see Something About Mary, including my Mother, wife, daughter and a second daughter with a date. After the scene with the dude wacking off and the gal seeing his wad, calling it mousse and putting it in her hair, I said ENO UGH!I packed them all out. My daughter said my outrage embarrassed her in front of her date. Another time, mymother took Her mom to a movie in the 70's. While waitingoutside in line a guy ran by naked but for a gas mask. Streaking was big in the 70's. Then they went in to the movie. It was a compilation of comedy bits. One of which looked like a puppet doing a PSA for the post office.One quickly realized the puppet was a guy's junk with a little hat on in and some Sharpie work.

It should be noted that the Book of Ecclesiastes is not one long mournful despairing dirge, a gloomfest. Koholeth (the Preacher), seeks the truth; rather, The Truth, and remarks, more or less, that the truth is sometimes unpleasant. It is what it is.
"Koheleth sought to find words of delight and properly recorded words of truth...The end of the matter, everything having been heard, fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the entire man." In my view, the truth is sometimes ugly but always beautiful. And that, to me, says that we who call ourselves conservatives want to know the truth: we follow the logic and the evidence and go where they take us. Meanwhile, those who oppose us chase a dream and choose believe what they believe in spite of all evidence to the contrary, because the lies they tell themselves are comforting. Sorry for the sermonizing, but all of this gloom-and-doom and Let It Burn talk wears thin after awhile. Posted by: troyriser at February 01, 2013 11:47 PM (ptcFO) 509

By the time they hit school, the history books will claim that Obama single handedly healed the planet and stopped the oceans rise.

Ever since Bob Costas' anti-gun tirade during football, I've been piecing something together: sports in America is an arena the Left does not own -- YET. It is a meritocracy and the Left cannot black-list anyone for being conservative (like they can in Hollywood and "journalism"); Tim Tebows are allowed to play, much to the Left's dismay. Athletes are allowed to give glory to God and the Left cannot bar them from competing. I see Costas injecting Leftist viewpoints and then that player from the Ravens promoting gay marriage and I think the Left is making a play for sports. They have already taken over public schools, universities, entertainment, and "news"; they want sports now, too.

So, I'm thinking you have to have a little "grift" at the box stores. Rip a $10 or $20 in half. Call me, and "hold back" my preferred caliber. "You'll get the other half upon delivery."
Or get familiar with the UPS delivery guy! Sup' Budddyyyyyy! I'm considering pissing the suburban neighbors off (or really finding the like-minded), by getting a "pet" pig, and building a small chicken house, and a rabbit hutch. Pets or meat? When the ShtF we'll all be eating (squirrels too). Kidding. For now. But still thinking about it... Posted by: Capt. Backfire at February 02, 2013 12:08 AM (mkb9H) 579

This is brilliant, except for the FEMA part. I don't trust them. However, the rest of your post is fantastic. Kudos.
Posted by: Ima Wurdibitsch I agree about FEMA as they are part of the government and their track record speaks for itself. The problem is that people think that a lumbering government agency should come to their rescue immediately and the red tape and logistics make it a Herculean task to say the least. People, like our forefathers/mothers were very self reliant and neighbors took care of each other. One thing FEMA does do well is their website for home preparedness. They will also send to an organization (church, school, business) free checklists and guidelines on what you should have in your home if you are taking care of elderly, disabled, pets, etc. I have to give them credit for that - but your point is well taken Posted by: Cheri at February 02, 2013 12:13 AM (EAgmr) 598

577-unless it is a DEA controlled substance, you may be able to talk your doc into working with your insurance to get 6 month supplies.
We were able to get that through mail prescriptions ( I think it was express scripts) but we were living overseas, and it was very difficult getting our meds in country. Any chance you could have an increase in travel for work? You might be able to use that as a reason for a larger supply at home.... Posted by: moki at February 02, 2013 12:13 AM (wi/sM) 606

It is a set of ideas and principals which define the sort of people we were. This nation has become like a fine ship which served us well, but which has been taken over by Pirates, and is now being prepared to be used against us. The only responsible thing to do is to try and pry it out of the Pirate hands (We did try back in November) and failing that, burn it so they cannot use it against us.

But I'm still worried about who might arise in the wake of those losers. Lots of people justly complained about the Tsar, and when that system fell apart, who did they get? Lots of people justly complained about the Weimar Republic, etc. Insofar as LIB means "let them dig their own grave", I'm with you. But I think the objections are mainly that by letting them do that, you run a not insignificant risk that they'll be digging yours as well.

I know from watching doomsday preppers that you can by fish antibiotics and they are the same thing as people take.
---------------------- I've got plenty of that and it works when you don't feel like going to the doctor. I know a chemist for a small pharmaceutical company and he told me it is chemically identical to the expensive stuff packaged for humans. I keep: fishcillin -> amoxicillin, fishflex -> keflex, ... let's see, there's one for Cipro that requires a vet prescription but when you take your dog, tell him you need some for your aquarium. Works for me. Posted by: slug at February 02, 2013 12:24 AM (vVv3V) 653

Posted by: JeremiadBullfrog at February 02, 2013 12:32 AM (Y5I9o) And that is why you probably didn't know about Bush having a dog. Its because he was actually Bush's pet. Whereas Obama's dog is merely a PR prop. When he is out of the White House you will eventually hear about them no longer having the dog, and some former staffer having him. I think Clinton kind of did the same thing with Buddy, being more prop than pet, but since he's actually human (though a poor example of one) he actually ended up liking the dog.

I'm on a prepper list but haven't figured out how to do this for Paleo. I have a friend that really knows how to prep. Her pantry looks like a grocery store. She was laid off for a year and the food storage allowed her to pay the bills out of her unemployment check and hang onto her place.
The Mormons, as I understand it, are just required to store a year's worth of wheat, honey, oil and salt. That's not really practical though, unless you rotate that in with your regular groceries. The trick is to buy the things you normally buy, but buy extra. Add some of the bulk freeze dried stuff and some MREs for emergencies. There are some good sites with info on how to get started. Of course, I used to think I was prepared with a 25 pound sack of brown rice and 25 pounds of pinto beans. Better than nothing Posted by: notsothoreau at February 02, 2013 12:38 AM (Lqy/e) 704

Natural gas, Methane, Propane are your best choices. For that matter, Wood gas is easy enough to make, and it has been used in the past. Get good dry wood to start with, and you can produce a pretty good product. If you are not familiar with it, look up the term "Wood Gas." I've been thinking about building a wood gas generator myself, but currently i'm working on running everything on natural gas. Posted by: DiogenesLamp at February 02, 2013 12:40 AM (bb5+k) 707

Posted by: DiogenesLamp understandably so, however, it may be that the communists will find that by destabilizing everything and leaping for the brass ring of their dreams the opposite may occur and they may suffer an unbelievable whiplash. a lot of people are willing to cede a little here and a little there around the margins as long as they are not really adversely affected by what is happening. Everyone is going to be adversely affected by what obama is doing. I think the last election demostrated the difference between smart and stupid. the smart people are the ones that are able to understand where things are now, understand the trend and decide it is better to act to prevent the impending disaster before it occurs. the stupid people, obama voters, are the ones that do not understand what is occurring, what it portends, and will not act until the disaster hits and it is gonna hit hard. all obama is doing is building up momentum.

Tonight, while non-sober, I watched Se7en. It's the best thing to watch when depressed. That, or Last Action Hero. Watched Commando the other day. First half of Jeepers Creepers earlier.

I know this is to far down for anyone to read , but I must say I always loved that song "Is that all there is". Seemed like after a couple tours in VNam, and getting back to the world - finding that the bizerkos had started taking over-it seemed prescient. However, there is a way to fix this. We MUST take back the media, at the very least let no more than 30% liberals be involved- because that's all there is. We could be saving this country before the next election. After all, it's only FAIR. And everyone knows how fairness is important to the libs. Posted by: Kalikack at February 02, 2013 12:51 AM (T0gLU) 729

"understandably so, however, it may be that the communists will find that by destabilizing everything and leaping for the brass ring of their dreams the opposite may occur and they may suffer an unbelievable whiplash.

Everyone is going to be adversely affected by what obama is doing. I think the last election demostrated the difference between smart and stupid. the smart people are the ones that are able to understand where things are now, understand the trend and decide it is better to act to prevent the impending disaster before it occurs. the stupid people, obama voters, are the ones that do not understand what is occurring, what it portends, and will not act until the disaster hits and it is gonna hit hard. all obama is doing is building up momentum.

I agree with you on the Natural Gas or Propane thing... i think i can convert my genny to it too.
NG supply will likely be reliable longer than other sources, but I have heard the delivery system is electricity-dependent. Hell by then it won't matter.... Posted by: BunkerInTheBurbs at February 02, 2013 12:43 AM (X3xYu) It can still be ran on Gasoline. Use the NG till it no longer flows, then switch to gasoline. When that goes, then you have to either go to poop methane, or wood gas. Wood gas is really not a bad idea, though I wouldn't want to run an engine on it long term.

Anyone with prepping questions, let me know. I'm pretty involved with it (but not on a NatGeo show level). I can point you to some good resources.
Incidentally, I have had interaction with 3 of the people featured on the show, either directly or indirectly. One of the women in the first season I ran into on a prepper forum; she did a big Q and A session and stated that they were told by NatGeo to pick a particular event that they were prepping for from a list. That was one thing that struck me as odd, since preppers don't typically prep for any one event...especially not something obscure like the Yellowstone Caldera. The other two were the guy from TN whose doctor got him committed (I used to be in the same amateur radio club he's in) and "Big Al", the songwriter in Nashville. I got pretty shithoused with Big Al at a Jeffrey Steele showcase. Had no idea he was a prepper, and I wasn't one at the time. Posted by: Country Singer at February 02, 2013 01:08 AM (mDanm) 752

Late to thread, but bearing good news.
Picked up my spanking new Sig Sauer P226 .40 S&W today. Even down here in south Texas the stores are picked clean of the good stuff, so I ordered this over the eeevil internet. Went to my local friendly gun range/FFL and picked it up and put about 50 rounds through it today. Man is that a sweet gun. I've had a Sig P220 .45 for years - so many that it has "Made in W Germany" stamped on the side. West Germany! This gun has been the best, most reliable gun I personally have had, so I was willing to drop the cash on another Sig. Although the ONT is DOOM, I had a good day at the range today. And some Shiner Bock (several, actually) after cleaning the guns makes it an even better day. Screw the JEF. Posted by: pilot141 at February 02, 2013 01:13 AM (unkLq) 756

We're just pissed off because the low info voters reelected the SCOAMT, JEF or TFG. We should think of a new one for him. I read one post that said you can even eat goldfish. What insect did the JEF eat along with dog, the one that was crunchy? I don't want to look it up because I really don't care. I want to remind everyone that we have low class, dog and insect eater occupying the White House. I honestly think sometime during this year the regular media will get sick of him or really pissed off and start to look into his past. How on earth they can continue to love that JEF is beyond me. He won't answer questions, and they let him get away with it. Cheer up! I love Ted Cruz, he should be our party leader. He had the best questions for Hagel and he was in his first month as a senator. Rubio is good but I don't like the immigration plan, Cruz is tough and new. He's been quoted that he's not going to go back on his word!

I think in the comics, it was a bit easier to see Ozymandias as someone who honestly tried to make humanity better. The David Spade Guy just seemed like "I wanted to do this because it was getting late and I was missing Letterman."
Agree that this is how the character would be in real life though. I liked Rorschach. I think he'd make a good president. Certainly better than Obama. I can just imagine Rorschach's reaction to someone who thinks he's not getting enough free stuff. I am imagining it's more than a face-full of hot grease.

Here is my sage advice on prepping.
A huge stockpile is a good idea, however, I would recommend having a cache at home and in at least one fallback position. You also need a meaningful supply in a go bag in the event you need to leave your primary location for whatever reason. Now here is the advice - make sure you have a lot of high fat foods, especially in your "bugout" supply because it is calorie dense and provides long-lasting energy. I have been in some survival situations and learned - the hard way that what you need and crave is fat . Posted by: yankeefifth at February 02, 2013 01:52 AM (Z9EHQ) 789

You were one of the initial kind and instructive of the "etiquette", when I was a green, newbie to the HQ, and asking all of the the "formatting" questions. No handbook-and-whatnot. I just didn't trust insinuating "familiarity" until now. I always find your posts insightful and clever. I am sincerely glad you are on "the team". I only hope, by now, that you consider me "on yours". Cheers! Posted by: Capt. Backfire at February 02, 2013 01:54 AM (mkb9H) 792

Depends on what you're looking for...to whit, I don't live there anymore. I'm now in GA, took a job down here. Singing was paying the bills, and the last job I had in Nashville, working at a gun store was great, but paid $9 an hour. So I rejoined the professional world and had to move to do it (I work in defense contracting). There are jobs in Nashville, I just didn't have the skillset for any good ones, and the lower end jobs are fiercely competed for by the 50,000 people trying to get famous.

Because you actually, relatively-practically, can do wood gas in a '76'ish carbeurated Chevy pick-um-up-truck. And it will still run on the petroleum based, also, too, alternatively. Posted by: Capt.

.50 is for reaching out and disabling vehicles. The others are for fire fights. Only go .50 if your stock of the little ones is full.

The state will pay your legal bills if it decides to do the right thing.) If I owned any property, I would also carry a concealed .45 locked and loaded at all times except for cleaning.

Don't underestimate 7.62. There's a BMP-2 on display at Camp Shelby, MS that was captured in Desert Storm. It's full of holes from an M240B.

Posted by: H I am not thinking it is a necessary or anything more than a "nice to have" but it is a capability that not everyone has.

Yankee- if you have the money to burn, go for it. But if you have that much disposable income, get a 12 gauge, carry gun, home defense pistol, and semi-auto centerfire rifle (if you don't already) and get shooting experience with them before worrying about a .50 BMG or .338.

hey, I appreciate that advice and the discussion. I am not looking to be argumentative but I have been looking for a couple of people to bounce ideas off of, perhaps even a foil. I do not think it is the first thing anyone needs and I am in agreement with your list of recommendations. my inclination is that a .50 is a lot of money to spend on a niche weapon, however, it is not entirely wasteful a it does provide capabilities I do not have and most people do not have. so, in a list where everything on your list was already secured, in some quantity, do you think the capabilities of a .50 cal are useful in situation where you were concerned about a zone approximately 500m on a side?

indeed, a fellow I know was grousing about how much everything sucks over drinks and strippers and a couple of guys in cheap suits with bowl cuts showed up out of nowhere, said "hello we're from the government and we're here to help." I looked away for only one second and when I looked back they and my friend were gone. hm. Posted by: yankeefifth at February 02, 2013 07:04 AM (Z9EHQ) 992
Hell no! It ain't over till we say it's over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

If I went back in time about 50 years, I think I'd want to fuck the hell out of Peggy Lee.

Blows the whistle: "Everybody out of the pity party wallowing trough." Our ancestors kept fighting at Valley Forge, Normandy Beach and the Battle of the Bulge. Things did not look so hot during those dire moments either. No one promised them victory, they faced terrible odds; but they kept fighting. Can we, their descendants, do anything less?

Everything is plundered, betrayed, sold,
Death's great black wing scrapes the air, Misery gnaws to the bone. Why then do we not despair? By day, from the surrounding woods, cherries blow summer into town; at night the deep transparent skies glitter with new galaxies. And the miraculous comes so close to the ruined, dirty houses -- something not known to anyone at all, but wild in our breast for centuries. ~ Anna Akhmatova ~ Posted by: Jamest at February 02, 2013 09:20 AM (S4yKg) 998

TexasJew is right--that Hebrew (or was it meant to be Yiddish?) is nonsense.
