Excellent artistry...But...I believe an apology is due Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Let's not forget "Once Upon a Time In the West".  Harmonica...need anything more be said?

In Wyoming (Y-O-Mun) they exist.  In the small towns you may still find the drive-through window at the bar.  Nothing like getting a 12-pack and a Jack and Coke in a go-cup.

The most outrageous statement I've heard is "I'm an Intelligent, open-minded person".  Usually stated just prior to their making one of numerous unintelligent and close-minded statements or conclusions.

I have always thought wine tasted like sour grapes, which means it tastes like what it is.  At least I know my taste buds are working.

I never have likes sour grapes...An 18 year old Single Malt and a Fuente cigar on the other hand.

Since the child belongs to the community from the moment of birth, once the moment of life is defined to be "conception", the child then belongs to the community from the moment of conception.  From this point forward, the community (read "any government entity") can have the life terminated for any reason it desires.  Be it health, population control, that the parents are conservative, race, religion of parents, etc., the list goes on and on. 

Also note, since the child belongs to the community, the community can remove the child from the parents at any time for any reason.  This is an athlete, this is a soldier, this is a scientist, etc., Or, because of the parents religious and/or social beliefs. 

In short, parents don't exist, marriage doesn't exist, family doesn't exist, responsibility doesn't exist.  Only the state (community) exists.  Everything belongs to the community.

For some reason all this sounds like a book I read somewhere in my past.  I think it was in my dad's history class, back in High School.  How far we have come.  How far we have to go to return.

A pause, as I bow my head and thank God for the few seconds he placed the souls of those small children upon the earth...May there being here help to right a great wrong that is being perpetrated upon children and society in general.

A pause, as I bow my head and ask God for forgiveness for the anger I feel when I think of the evil that was done, and is being done, to children on a daily basis.

A pause, as I thank the Lord for the sacrifice of His Son, that my sins may be forgiven.

He is risen.

As a young man my dad actually told me "Outside, if there's a problem, talk to me, that's my domain.  As the protector of this family, outside, that's my job.  Inside the house, that's your mother's domain.  I bought the house for her.  I could live in a cave.  If you have a problem inside, talk to you mother, it's her home, she's in charge."

What has always amazed me about feminists, is their utter stupidity.  Why on earth would anyone want to give up real power and real freedom for the perception of power or the perception of freedom.  Growing up we all knew who was in charge.  Who we had to ask to do something.  Who caused us to get the most spankings.  Who made the rules.  It wasn't dad, it was mom.  We went to dad when we wanted a raise in our allowance.  Dad was our friend.  Mom was the boss.

In today's world mom's just the woman who picks the kids up from daycare.

It's too bad, Mom was the best boss I ever had.

As he had a right to be.

Respect is earned.  She hasn't earned it.

With respect to her comment regarding being on the committee for 20 years...That is the problem.  It's time for new blood and fresh brain waves.

Any statement containing either of or both of the two following statements makes my hair stand on end.

1)  ...we need to reach a compromise...

2)  ...we need to reach across the aisle...

Why?  When you're in the right, you're in the right.  Compromising with wrong, is wrong. 

First - McCain lost- We didn't want to hear what he had to say in 2008 and we still don't.  The more you jump back and forth over a barbed wire fence, the better the odds that you're going to snag something you wish you hadn't.  Once it happens, we're done listening, and we're gonna laugh.

Second - Standing next to Graham, Rob Long would look like a Constitutional Conservative.

Conclusion - I'm through listening to both of them.  I'm too busy laughing.

With all due respect, I feel you are on the wrong side of the argument.  Legalities are seldom ethically or morally right.  In most cases they are just legal.

I can actually visualize Obama kicking back in the recliner with a smoke, a beer, and that stupid Carteresque smile on his face, watching it like it's the movie Fast and Furious XVIII  while Hilary yells in the background for him to get his ears out of the way so she can see.

Charge me.  He won't be attacking anyone else and God knows that I was in the right.  I'll answer to him when the time comes.

If I feel my life is in danger I will defend myself with deadly force.  It must be nice to live in a city where the police are there to investigate and arrest.  Protect and serve has gone the way of the Dodo bird.  Growing up in Wyoming you realize that the police may be hours away.  I will trust in God and let him sort out my actions.
