Bio

A native of Tennessee, Heidefelder spent his first 30 years moving around the south, where he acquired his fondness for foreign languages, history, and theology. He received two degrees in German, his BA from Western Carolina University (major in German, minor in French), and his Master's from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (thesis work on the literary portrayal of the churches during the Hitler years). He moved to the interior of Alaska at the turn of the millennium, where he teaches at Covenant Life College, helps run a few small businesses he co-owns, and wows German, Dutch, and Scandinavian tourists with his ability to speak their respective languages.

Xennady: In other words, shut up and vote for Mittens you dimbulb conservatives- or you're screwed.

Last I heard, the primaries weren't over yet.
Is this the whole story?  Romney, for all his shortcomings as the "perfect" GOP candidate (whatever that is) , at least has more economic literacy than the current occupier of the White House.  And unlike Obama, I do believe Romney knows the limits of executive power, and is not after "fundamentally transforming" our country.  Plus, I think he would be more amenable to working with the House and Senate Repubs than the current lot of leftist ideologues.
But, like I said, the primaries aren't over yet.  Heck, a VP hasn't even been named.

I have to confess that I don't know much about Black Liberation Theology. Is there evidence that President Obama adheres to it? 

In a nutshell, BLT is the Gospel According to Marx.

Margaret Ball If Obama was trying to curry favor with religious people, this sure was a sorry way to go about it. But about what I'd expect from President Tin Ears. · 12 hours ago

Well, I never claimed he was doing a good job at his approach.  The more devout can usually see right through religious rhetoric when it's put up in front of them.
But, there are always the useful idiots in the crowd who will swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
However, this Congressman didn't fall for it.

The Commanding Heights, eh?  I'll have to check it out.  Thanks!

I saw, or rather, heard, the footage of the "Patriotic Millionaires" refusing to donate via John Hinderaker's HWX a few episodes ago.  Very rich in irony.
So she was the one responsible for that.  Brava!

Jeremias Heidefelder

You're most welcome, Cal.

Serendipitously enough, I was embroiled in a debate with my Leftist brother about media bias.  Along the way, I came across Powerline's reprinting of a chapter out of Dr. Tim Groseclose's "Left Turn," the chapter about the alien conservative injected into the heavily left-leaning Minnesota Star-Tribune (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4).
In a nutshell, the conservative reporter broke the story about the Flying Imams, while the remaining newsroom staff had their noses somewhere else.  Had same reporter not been there, the story would probably not have broken, nor the strengthening of citizen rights and national security that followed as a result.
The point being, those on the Left just don't have an "antenna" for certain kinds of news.

It seems to be worth just a one-off story in the major German press.  However, Die Zeit seems to be tracking it pretty closely, having a story for it each day for the past three days

Austria's Die Presse does mention historical documents being destroyed.  Not a lot of discussion about women in these riots, other than mention of the one or two in the videos going around.  Seems that the Daily Mail is the only one running the story with that in mind.
Sorry for not providing English-language links.  Google translate does a decent job, and anyone can ask me about the articles.

Going through the German-speaking part of the world next...stay tuned.

Apart from CSM, I'm not finding much.

Claire, the "obvious" is what the MSM doesn't report.  The obvious threat of Jihadism, the obvious threat of Iran, the obvious failure of the wrong-headed Obama Administration. And yet the Los Angeles Times used so much pulp covering the OWS movement here you could wrap fish from now to doomsday.   · Dec 18 at 12:06pm

Seems to be an American phenomenon, Denise. 
I'm going through the Euro press I can read, and so far, most of the major Scandinavian papers (Jyllands-Posten, Ekstra-Bladet, BT, Aftenposten, Dagbladet, Verdens Gang, Aftonbladet (live chat with a couple of reporters who are there), and Expressen) have stories on the matter.
Not necessarily front-page stories, mind you.  It seems Handball is bigger news to most of them.

Jeremias Heidefelder

Claire, the Christian Science Monitor has it, for whatever that is worth.  Published just today.  Mentions trampled & stripped women as well as the use of live ammunition.

I didn't know what an EBT was, either, until I saw that video mocking it (warning, an s-bomb or two).

So, add another person to the non-EBT ranks.

A lot of my conservative European friends also mention Ron Paul as a favorable choice.  I try to tell them that he seems to have some good domestic ideas, but also seems to be rather naive about foreign policy issues.
One in particular seemed resigned to the idea that Obama would be re-elected.  I told him that his ratings seemed to be lower than both Bush & Carter's at their nadir.
But, if the GOP cannot rally behind the nominee, and allow themselves to be split by a third party (a la Ross Perot), Obama may indeed get a second term.  That's another problem Paul presents.

I've fired a 50AE DE. The barrel flip on that pistol put it in the nice to have but worst to fire guns I've ever shot category. (My 11oz 357Mag airweight revolver is much nicer than that even with full bore 357 loads.) The 500 by comparison is a dream to shoot. No barrel flip at all. Just a nice straight push that even when loaded for tyranosaurus is very managable. · Dec 5 at 6:36am

I've heard similar stories about the DE in .50AE.  That and the maturity and ubiquity of the .44 settled my decision in getting mine in .44.  It was a very fun .44 to shoot.

Agreed the 20MM requires additional paperwork and cost. A spendy hobby. The .950, odd as it is got a pass for hunting, very strange. · Dec 4 at 8:42am

Considering the .950 approaches the 25mm mark, that is strange.  What sort of ammo is available on the market for 20mm?  JHP? FMJ? HEI? APDS

Jeremias Heidefelder

As I said in something I posted a couple of days ago, a Grande Latte in Fairbanks, AK costs $4.00.  But everything's more expensive here, overall.  Even gas.  Go figure.
