Bio

I'm a truck driver. It sounds funny to say that since I really wanted to be one when I was a kid. The truth is that I move missiles around a navy weapons facility. I assuage my guilt of being on the government payroll by the fact that it's defense and not HUD or some other useless federal entity. I joined Ricochet mostly because it feels like a trip to Hollywood with all the stars out walking the streets to be able to converse with the likes of Peter Robinson, John Woo, Rob Long, Victor Hanson, and others. I recently finished my degree in political science at American Military University and hope to find some use for it eventually. If you would like to contact me directly email kingprawn at centurytel.net.

I've recently started blogging about spiritual things.

HeartofAmerica: Funny, you should post this today as I was thinking about a device that would allow you to send a message directly to the offending car/driver that could tell them politely about their screw-up. I'm all about education.  · 0 minutes ago

George Carlin recommended a programable sign on top of one's car...his ideas for what to put on it were not CoC compliant.

For just plain fun and a video that has absolutely nothing to do with the song, Zac Brown's The Wind which was nothing to do with the song so far as I can tell.

Exactly what diplomats were killed under Bush?

Your stop over at freak day was just prepping you for Seattle.

For me it's all about the music. I'll try to dig up some clever videos though. I think Lindsey Stirling is accomplishing that with her stuff right now.

Mendel: What's up with the "live from Kermit Gosnell's basement" stage? · 4 minutes ago

I've seen several of their videos shot in that room. I just assume it's what's available in their building.

A bit of grand standing for his own bill, but mostly on point.

Look up his interviews with Claire Berlinski...

The uniforms are pretty modest...

Rachel Lu: It's just supposed to happen that the Holy Spirit sweeps you up and declares the truth of the (Mormon) Gospel! What's *your* problem?! · 5 minutes ago

This can be a problem in Pentecostal churches as well. Those who aren't "moved by the Spirit" are left as outsiders. The temptation to "fake it till you make it" can be very strong, especially for those who are young temporally or spiritually. As for me, I'll stick with Paul's list of fruits from Galatians 5 if I want to test my faith.

skipsul: The real mistake here is in Congress delegating away its powers.  It is on Congress to set and enforce limits.  The failure to do so is the heart of our troubles. · 14 minutes ago

This is my thinking on it. The battle should be between the elected branches with the judicial only refereeing the fight. Perhaps a chain linked octogon instead of a committee room is a more appropriate venue.

...and began singing "A Might Fortress Is Our God."  

You haven't heard it sung until you've heard Steve Green sing/proclaim it. He did this at the big Promise Keepers event in D.C. a decade or so ago. It was pretty close to the experience Rachel writes about when I heard it then.

Edit: Found a better youtube version...

Robert Ham:  

The King Prawn: From The Hill:

Acting IRS chief Steven Miller on Friday said he did not believe agency officials did anything illegal when giving extra scrutiny to conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

This one reminds me of Al Gore in the 90's, when faced with charges of illegal campaign contributions from monks.  His press appearance painfully stated that there was .."no controlling legal authority..", arguing that therefore, the contributions were legal.     

Nothing is new under the sun.  Nothing to see here - move along. · 24 minutes ago

There's the nub of the problem. The 10th Amendment is the "controlling legal authority" in all cases of power not specifically delegated to the national government. These jackwagons have it exactly backwards. They believe any power not specifically denied them is automatically authorized. They start at 100% and work their way back rather than starting at 0% and working up as powers are granted by the "controlling legal authority."

Good thing I checked the main feed before I hit post...

I'm looking forward to seeing this!

But why now? If this was the end game all along, why only under this administration has such grievous occurences come to light? Have they been happening all along and we didn't know about it, or is there something about this set of top level leaders that inspire/direct/allow this to occur?

Well, it's certainly been happening all along. We've been complaining about progressivism in our institutions for decades. But I think when you've got a President appointing all of his fellow travelers to positions of influence and power, then it's as if every sleeper agent is suddenly activated at once. Whatever lingering fear that they'd be found out is brushed aside by the glowy feeling that "we are the ones we've been waiting for!" · 1 minute ago

Maybe it's because I work for DoN vice IRS, EPA, HUD, etc, but I don't see rampant progressivism among my coworkers. A few meatheads that voted for Obama due to a lack of political convictions, but no socialists here.
