1776
A further comment from 1776: John Adams is shocked at Mr. Jefferson deciding to take his wife in the middle of the day and Wor. Br. Franklin comments: "Not everyone is from Boston, John".

Just a thought
Off Dr. Codevilla's comments:
We beat the Nazis and Communists on the battlefield, but they won on more important battlefields, the ballot box and the campus quad. I must ask, against this, can we survive?

ComBloc Guns
Just tried out a new Polish ComBloc gun that ran the blockade into the commonwealth. I wondered why the double action pull and the single action pull seemed to let off in different places. At first I considered that its because Euros don't know $*%$&^%$ about handguns, unlike us here in the (formerly) Free States. Then it hit me.... Its much easier to shoot a man in the head when it really is a "surprise break" in the trigger... Maybe I need a makarov to test this theory.
By the way, don't anyone trust your right to direct appeal to BHO (its coming).

The Emperor Has No Clothes
We here in RFW land have often wondered, considered, and debated over many an adult beverage why we elect men we see in our own likeness to carry out the policies that we support, and are so frequently disappointed. We also wonder why for each of the Bushes or Trent Lotts or Nixons that the Republican party we get a Mr. Newt, a Condi Rice, or a Ronald Reagan.
What is it that separates the true believers from those too easily swung to the "moderate" or left-wing side. I long argued that the fetid swamp that was Washington D.C. (in the past considered a hardship post for foreign diplomats due to the risk of malaria) has changed little, and that these wannabe conservative leaders "grew in office" to become the progressive abiding moderates they pretended not to be.
I have never been one to consider "class" not in the birth sense, which we as Americans discarded like so much unwanted baggage during our Revolution, or in the economic sense. After all, one can rise in fall in class in this country without needing to pass GO or collect $200 (depending on which welfare state you live in).
However, there was a nagging 'something' at the back of my mind regarding those who did advance, although not presumably by merit. Those whose success seemed to be ephemeral, the result of admission to the right clubs and right schools and most importantly, saying the right things.
This link answers some of those questions. I admit to having some interest in the matter. As an undergrad, I worked with Dr. Codevilla, and to be honest he is one of the few men I ever met who I know is smarter than me.
http://spectator.org/archives/2010/07/16/americas-ruling-class-and-the/
I note with no small amount of respect that Dr. Codevilla will likely never get a posh job at a Ivy League school (not that I think he ever desired such, he's always been too tough a grader for such institutions) but that is a courageous stand to take in his line of work.
Well, perhaps we have answered why B. H. Obama has no clothes (nor do any of his top officials as far as one can tell). What to do about it?

Crats Hate Patriotism
Taking a lead off of one of the best updated blogs out there, Moonbattery (google it) I have new evidence that the 'crats don't just hate America, they hate patriotism too:
http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2010/07/item-3-progress.html#more
One of the cratactualar moonbats is quoted as saying that "nationalism is the egg that hatches fascism, and patriotism is the father of nationalism"
Now, let us return to our early sex ed classes shall we? If there is an egg, it must be fertilized... And the fertilizer of fascism is not Fox News, it is SOCIALISM. One would think if the crats were not such flaming morons they would avoid references to National SOCIALISM or the United SOCIALIST Soviet Republics.
Alas such is not the case, and for any thinking person, the crats foist themselves on their own petard. So apparently the patriotism that fostered fascism is wrong, which would naturally lead one to believe that once a country turns socialist, by the 'crats own standard patriotism is out the window.
I for one (for right or wrong) will always support my country, but the next time one of you socialist assholes tells me "not to talk about our president like that" (because you gave GW LOTS of respect....) think about this.... Are you the new brownshirts?
Since you probably don't know what that means, I can only recomend (in Latin) TOLE LEGE.

El Presidente
One of my heros Col. Cooper created the El Presidente drill to test gun handling skills.
It required 6 rounds in the gun, 2 shots in a target on the left, 2 shots on a center target, and 2 shots on a target on the right.
RELOAD and REPEAT.
It occurs to me, as modern defensive weapon trainers (who admittedly owe a lot to Col. Cooper) decry the "El Pres" that this drill was not intended to be really defensive... its a last ditch drill.
It's Jim Bowie or Davie Crockett at the Alamo, putting as many shots on targets as they come up. It doesn't train to defend a person as much as to make a last stand.
I know its not the best way to train for an actual criminal assault.... But there are worse things to prepare for...

Fight Club
Looking back at the movie Fight Club (I admit to failing for never reading the book) I think it has overtones that might resonate with the brethren.
One of the key "rituals" is the burning of acid... Knowing, not fearing, knowing that you will die.
In the car crash scene, the Tyler character asks each of the men in car what they would miss if they died today.
Both remind me of the hourglasss.
"We're a generation raised by women... I wonder if another woman is really the solution"
"It's a therapy group for men only"
The ritual to join Tyler's army reminds one of the Templars, a uniform and burial money.
Just thinking... maybe the undercurrents of manhood run so strong that even Hollywood can't keep them under the surface.

Terrorist Scumbaggery
So they busted the terrorist who tried to blow up New York's Times Square. Normally I reserve comment of such issues, but this one has particular interest to me, since I was deep in enemy territory at the time and in Times Square (not many blocks away) from where the aforementioned scumbag tried to blow his half-assed carbomb up.
Luckily it did not go off, and I was out of the area shortly thereafter, but it does raise a good question: when you hear that big BOOM what will you do?
If I were with family or friends who needed protection, the answer is short and sweet, find that nearest exit (you WERE looking for those nearest exits right?) get out of Dodge, be a good witness, and help anyone you can.
If you're alone though, should one run towards the blast or away? I would say it depends on your first aid skills (you DID get that training right?) or your physical skills (can you haul a casualty away on your back at a run? if not why not). Overseas, many bombings also included secondary bombs to kill first responders, which might end up hitting you if you run towards the sound of the blast.
Nothing we do here can tell you what to do in this situation, but mentally preparing for something like this might put you ahead of the curve, and let you survive to save yourself and your fellows.
Stay Safe.

Great Water Crisis of 2010 or "ARGH! BOIL EVERYTHING!"
So like many of the folks here in Eastern Massachusettsastan we here in the RFW bunker were faced with the "boil water order" issued from the MWRA. Having spent some time working in the water supply industry I know the extent to which these things can go bad, and that there are some really good folks out there making that tap run.
On the other hand, having spent time working in municipal water supply... I have several 35 gallon barrels of purified water in the basement. When the boil order came down, I was out of town. When I got home I promptly grabbed my brew kettle, probably a 15 gallon pot, and boiled the heck out of it. That kept me and the TAKC (Tactical Assault Kitty Cat) in clean water for a few days. Having grown up drinking out of local ponds and streams (the Saugus River has a particularly odd taste) I was not overly concerned with the chance of some bugs in the water that my insane immune system couldn't kill.
The boil water order did get me thinking though, what would I do differently if the water were REALLY bad. Number one, I should have some bottled water (although I usually hate the stuff, as a big fan of Nalgene bottles and purifiers). Having potable portable water is key for a minor disruption like this. Also, I need smaller water canisters. My 35 gallon barrels just wont make it to the crows nest in the bunker to keep me and the TAKC hydrated. I hear Wally World has 7 gallon canisters cheap... Might need to brave a trip there.
Further, I really need to get on getting a camping water filter. I have boiled water in mock "survival" situations to clean it, but that was always just for practice. Doing it for real let me realize one thing.... its a BITCH. Getting a good camping filter would make a lot of things easier, especially for... camping. Oh and SHTF too.
Bottom line, its just another case of me being more right than I thought I was. As more than one person commented, "I have this friend who has barrels of clean water in his basement. Everyone laughed at him... Until today!"

Local Holiday Formerly Known as Patriot's Day
Well, we just passed over the Local Holiday Formerly Known as Patriot's Day, the day that commemorates the battle, the "shot heard 'round the world", the birth of liberty as we know it.
These days those "dead white men" are probably considered evil, because they were after all using GUNS, evil tools of sedition against those loving British peacekeepers. In fact, if you count the Hessian mercenaries, the British force was a "multinational peacekeeping force". If only the British had disarmed those seditious bastards.... oh wait, thats what this was all about. The British heard that the Patriots were stockpiling weapons. Not just any weapons, Brown Bess pattern muskets, or in the modern nomenclature, "assault weapons". Yes, these were civilian versions of military weapons, stockpiled in Lexington in case of a repressive government. Our ancient brethren long ago established that stockpile to keep themselves free.
This is a longwinded way to ask a simple question: where is your Brown Bess? Where is your "assault rifle"? If it was good enough for our forefathers to keep a weapon handy for the defense of hearth and home, and to keep yourself fed if need be, why not you. I assume that most of the folks reading this blog are better armed than the average third world army, but if not, I ask you, why not?
Should we not be able to defend ourselves? As I sit here I have a 3 foot stick handy, useful for any number of things, but a very good defensive tool. However, what if we see what happened in New Orleans (and to no fault of the federal government, more on that later) that stick which is a great tool to defend my living room might not be effective to keep off a band of 30 guys trying to storm my house and take my resources. So perhaps I need a firearm?
My first choice for those who do not have a firearm (and why don't you) would be a cheap very controllable and easy to learn .38 or .357 revolver. Failing that, I'd go with a 9mm handgun. Both have cheap ammo and are easy to learn to shoot well. Once you have a home defense, last ditch gun, go out and buy two more guns, a .22 rifle and a .22 handgun. I recommend the Ruger 10/22 or Marlin Model 60 for the rifle, and by far the Ruger series of .22 autos for the handgun. A serious caliber rifle is the next to buy, I recommend the M-4 or AR-15 series, a common design in wide acceptance in the U.S. and very effective for what they do. Once you get these guns, train and practice like crazy. Train, train, train. Learn to work your weapon so well that you can not possibly fail. Our ancient brethren had this competence in their tools and their weapons, and look what happened.
Shoot straight and speak the truth boys.

The "Meatball"
Back in WW2 our vets used to call the big red ball on the side of the Jap planes "meatballs".
In this day of Toyota's being recalled for killing people left and right, I think we need to reconsider "the meatball".
Consider the ACOG and he EoTech combat sights that are now standard equipment for our military around the world: Our people got so used to shooting at big red dots that now our military sights project them on our dirka enemies.
Shoot Straight boys.

Victory!
As much as I did not believe it, as much as I could not believe it, Scott Brown drove his truck right through the Demoncrat party machine and knocked Barry O's healthcare plan off the rails. There's not much that I can say that hasn't been said before, all I will say is thanks to those who we pestered to get out to vote who fired another "shot heard 'round the world".

Meet Me at Dawn
It's a close race in MA and we are about to try to save America... Do you want to support the Big O and his socialist and nationalist (NAZI) policies, or will we elect a free man like Mr. Brown. All I know is that we should remember our forefathers, and our forebears, just as they showed the British where to go on 5/1775 so should we send them the same message: go to hell stateists!

Coakley's Commercial
Well, well, well, Miss Coakley, I am glad you finally decided to run a real commercial, as if you were running for something other than a hereditary 'Crat seat in congress. Forgive my presumption, I am a mere pleb, not worthy of even casting my eyes upon you. Your latest commercial runs against such government officials as President Bush (liberating 50 million people, whatever), Vice President Cheney (30 years of service, what a tool) and Mr. Rush Hudson Limbaugh (um, how is this man a government official????).
Well over 15 million people a month listen to Mr. Limbaugh, but you decided to run a political campaign against this PRIVATE CITIZEN. Why is that Miss Coakley? What does this private citizen say or do that offends you? He has, up to this point, not made any comment on his top rated radio show.
Your commercial, ma'am, seem to imply that Mr. Limbaugh is some sort of Nazi (don't deny it, Rush waving in a peculiar way coupled with the announcer saying "lockstep" leaves nothing to the imagination). Is Mr. Limbaugh a Nazi ma'am, is Mr. Brown???
Obama has NATIONALIZED the auto industry, he has NATIONIZED the home mortgage industry, he has NATIONIZED the student loan industry.........
Let us recall what NAZI means: not necessarily killing jews, or anyone else... the very word, in German means National Socialist Workers Party of Germany......
Ma'am you show Mr. Rush in a way that defames him, making him look like those national socialists that you, ma'am support.
Those of us with a grasp of history mock your hamhanded attempts to manipulate this election. Others are frankly offended by the way you portray the efforts of our veterans and all of those to fight for human freedom as nothing more than NAZI.
Ma'am we were paying attention. If you think you gain by calling Conservatives, those why favor smaller government, NAZIS, you are sorely mistaken. Those of us in favor of small government will continue to fight your nationization and socialization of the United States.

Mass Jewish Suicide
Well apparently the Boston Globe reports that a gentleman who had the temerity to ask a question of the annoited new Senator from Massachusetts "Took a Stumble". I am still wondering about that "Mass Jew Suicide" that took place in Europe between 1940 and 1945....

Is Happiness Really a Warm Gun?
The list of U.S. states by "happiness index" has been published in the journal Science based on polling which took place between 2005 and 2008. Shocking, the People's Republic of Massachusetts is low on the list, at #43. Maine comes in at #10, which may explain why I am four times happier when I cross the Piscataquis River... Or maybe it's Bob's Clam Shack (in close proximity to the Kittery Trading post: guns + fishing + boats + CLAMS! = Happy Paine). New Hampshire rates at #27, Vermont at #18. Louisiana, Florida, Hawaii, Tennessee, and Arizona fill the top 5.
Oddly enough, there is a strong coorelation between individual freedom and happiness. States with low taxes and costs of living rate higher than their more taxed and expensive brethren. Because this is RFW I would like to point out that the least happy states are those with the most restrictive gun laws. New York (51), Connecticut (50), New Jersey (49), California (46) and Illinois (45) all rate very low in gun freedoms, and very low in happiness.
States with high taxes, restrictive gun laws, and CRAPPY climates (my back hurts from all the global warming... where's Algore when you need him?) rate low in happiness. Even California can't overcome their foolish Hoplophobia (google it). Perhaps if our solons on Beacon Hill aren't too busy stealing the kitchen stove and coming back for the smoke they could look into rolling back some of our restrictive firearms laws. At the very least, perhaps they could end the sales tax on booze (we already pay excise tax, then they tax the tax).
Of course Massachusetts residents would never rebell over silly things like a repressive force confiscating their (assault) weapons, or taxing their booze. That's never happened before, ever... Just check the public school textbooks (if you can get through the hundreds of pages on the noble "Native Americans" we horrible European Capitalist Running Dog Lackey Imperialists brutally slaughtered).

The Right Brothers
Since their songs have been bouncing around the inside of my skull for days now, I decided to share. These guys: http://store.therightbrothers.com/ put forward some riotous rightwing rocking, which is quite catchy. My personal favorites include "Bush was Right" and "The List". Since these days the right has been relegated to the far fringes of everywhere (with the notable exceptions of the usual hideouts: talk radio, gun clubs, and smoke-filled rooms everywhere) it is nice to feel supported somewhere. Good music to motivate and remind you to show up at your respective polling place on the 19th (for all those behind the lines).
