Who is the Daily Kos? It is a group of some of the most extreme leftist pundits in the United States of America, & has slowly become the “unofficial” voice of the Democratic party on the web over the last 8 years.
A couple days ago Barack Obama made a statement that “families are off limits” & political campaigns & “especially their children”, but of course made no direct call for the media to stop their current attacks.
Why did he stop short of condemning the Daily Kos for their incessant personal attacks?
The reason is of course that while he’s claiming to condemn them publicly, his campaign is of course hoping it that the smear stories of these extreme left websites will do enough damage to hand them a victory. They do not care whether or not it’s moral to make these attacks, or if there is on iota of truth to any of them.
The Daily Kos continues to try to discredit Sarah Palin by any means they can find, whether it’s ethical or not, including attacking Palin’s 17 year old daughter for being pregnant out of wedlock. As if THAT’S never happened to any good family before, whether liberal or conservative.
Why does this matter? It matters because like it or not, the Daily Kos reaches a lot of people, & they are heavily funded by democrat contributions. They are in fact one of the lagest voices of the Democrats, & many would argue THE largest online voice they have. Here are their stats.
I would like to see people contact the Obama campaign & ask him to make an HONEST condemnation of this kind of behavior. One that actually has some tangible effect.
I’m not optimistic that he will come out & call for the Daily Kos,The Huffington Post, or the moveon.org of the web to stop their attacks, but none the less the voices of sensible & fair people should be heard by the Obama campaign on this issue. Please contact them & ask them to condemn the dirty pool that’s being played by their biggest online voices, as well as the Main Stream Media outlets that they keep snugly in their pockets.
NO.. No is the answer. NO Americans should be left behind in Georgia, & especially not children. Ashley & Sophia Evans are trapped in war torn Georgia right at this very moment, & were turned back by Russian thugs in uniforms when their grandparents tried to get them out… They are the children of former U.S. Navy soldier Joseph Evans.
Rep. Chris Smith (R) New Jersey is working to get them out, but they are afraid to move them to T’Bilisi for extraction. That is why Navy Seals & a Special Ops teams should go in & escort these children out, en force, “if” the Russians step even one inch towards the town they are in (Chiatura)..
This country should not bow to Russia’s will, & if anyone stands in the way of our removing Americans, there should be a military response, Period. Sound scary? Well it is… But that’s life here on earth. America didn’t become a great nation by letting piss ant communist governments like Russia’s bully us, & we shouldn’t start now. I feel bad for the Russian people who don’t want to be their sycophants..
We’ve all heard the horror stories. The worst & most embarrassing one I’ve ever seen was this DEA agent doing a Gun safety class in front of adolescent School Children. He makes a HORRIFIC misjudgment in handling a weapon that has a full clip in it, & especially in the presence of children.
The Result? He was lucky. He only shoots himself in the thigh, & the bullet stays there & thank God does not further injure him or the children & other adults in the class.
Watch the video below, & how the children unfortunately used better judgment than the officer who partially tried to save face in the situation. He misguidedly tries to keep from alarming the kids further by picking up a rifle, & trying to foolishly go on with the presentation. The kids tell him to put it down! Good call kids!
Do I feel bad for him? Yes of course I do. However he broke several important rules that are absolutely not to be broken in regard to gun safety. I think unfortunately he got a little too caught up in his dramatic approach to gun safety, & forgot about the gun safety part in the process.
1. On the video, he stated himself that “This is an unloaded weapon. This is an empty weapon.”
he then goes & gets gets a “nothing in my hat, nothing up my sleeve” type confirmation from an assistant asking if it’s an empty weapon, the assistant concurs, but probably only looks in the chamber. The officer does NOT clear the weapon himself by ejecting the magazine, as well as looking into the chamber. As a result, when he locks the slide back, & then releases it, he unwittingly cycles a live round from the magazine into the chamber. Again, He did not treat the gun as loaded, & check both the magazine & chamber himself before handling it.
2. He’s handling a Glock 40 cal, (likely a model 22 or 23 with no thumb safety lever) & not the best weapon to bring into a classroom or demonstration.
3. There should have been no ammunition present in any weapon on his person, or he planned to un-holster for any demonstration. Any weapon he planned to demonstrate with, should have been void of a magazine & had the slide locked back at all times, or disabled with the firing pin completely removed, & devoid of a magazine or ammunition. It would also have been handled very minimally, & placed on a table with the muzzle in the most currently safe direction.
4. Though he eventually points the gun down to possibly put it away (not sure), somehow he gets his finger on the trigger, or gets the trigger hung on something. The gun discharges, & he’s hit in the thigh with what is mostly likely a very damaging hollow point bullet. Hollow point bullets are designed to inflict the maximum damage, without exiting the intended target & possibly injuring an innocent bystander. Also notice that in the commotion, his female assistant hands him the rifle at one point, & has the muzzle pointed at the man standing against the wall!
Now, I believe this officer in his heart of hearts truly wanted to teach Gun safety to these children this day, & had nothing but good intentions for being there. Unfortunately he ended up giving an even better example than was necessary, or safe, by forgetting some of his own training.
I recently took my Handgun Safety course with The Academy for Self Protection in Joelton Tennessee. My instructor was Rob Corcoran. Rob is a former USAF Combat Arms Instructor and Security Police Officer. Rob currently teaches all Handgun Carry classes for A.S.P. He is an NRA certified Pistol Instructor and a Tennessee State certified Pistol Instructor.
Rob’s training skills were very clearly & well defined throughout the 8 hour course. During the training, He always got us to the point of the matters at hand, while at the same time keeping things light enough with a perfect balance of humor, gun trivia, & mechanical composition, without being too distracting from the serious nature of gun safety as a whole. He warned us ahead of time, that if he repeated something several times, it was probably going to be both highly important, & also on the written exam, or part of our firing range test. He covered everything from good/bad gun handling practices, to good/bad guns & ammunition by themselves, & the types that we may encounter in the real world.
Rob’s approach was not only to make sure that we knew how to fire a gun safely, but also that once the bullet left the barrel, there are potentially serious consequences, both legally & morally. His course also covered tips on being a more controlled shooter, which is also important to safety, & limiting your targets to only intended ones.
While my impression on his feelings about handguns was that he’s clearly an enthusiast, I felt that he made it glaringly obvious that a gun is not like a golf club or ball. When you go to the range with a gun & make a mistake, it could mean more than someone getting a concussion from a golf club that’s slipped out of your hand, or a wayward ball. It could mean instant death for you or an innocent bystander, or lives changed forever, & he made that responsibility very clear in his course, by covering Tennessee law on the use of firearms for self defense.
After having completed this course, I can tell you that as soon as he saw someone holding a weapon up with the magazine still in it like in the video above? He would have said: ” Clear that weapon immediately by removing the magazine, & I don’t want any ammunition in this classroom. Period”
He has signs in the classroom to remind everyone.
If you’re thinking about taking a handgun safety course in the middle Tennessee area, I highly recommend Rob & his Academy of Self Protection. I don’t see how the course could have been any better to be honest. After taking it, I’m only reasonably confident that I’ll never have an accident. I say “reasonably”, because one of the sentiments Rob was able to get across was to “never get cocky or overconfident handling a firearm.” The gun is always loaded, period. No exceptions.
It’s not really that surprising to me unfortunately, but in the video below there’s about an 8-10 year old boy who threatens to put a bullet in George Bush’s head, calls him a Mother F’er, a Bastard, & goes on to endorse Barack Hussein Obama.. Warning: This contains VERY strong language, & it’s a pretty traumatic video, since one of many sick & abominable Democrats has decided to permanently damage their child by filling them with hate during the years where their brain is actually making “synapses” or permanent connections.
The child you see in the video below will have an uphill battle to become a normal child again. Right now the child is being led down a path to permanent insanity, through a systematic indoctrination into homicidal thought against anyone his guardian disagrees with. This is the new “Liberal”. May God have mercy on their souls. To teach a child what you’re about to see on this video, & without remorse or repentance, guarantees you a front row seat in Hell. This parent/guardian should be pursued, & put in jail for child abuse, plain & simple.
Why do we need to take our education system back from the Moonbats who’ve taken political correctness to the farthest extreme? Well, check out the following story, & if you’re not convinced, you’re probably a nutroot too! Lets traumatize a 10 year old girl over nothing why don’t we.
These people are the same kind of wackjobs that would have us burn every confederate flag in the nation, & erase all reference to the fact they ever existed, because their very existence might offend somebody! This clearly wasn’t a safety issue, this should have been handled between the parent & the school. I mean you can stab someone with a Pen or a letter opener too.. Does anyone in that school have a letter opener I wonder? Is it locked up? My God what have we become as a nation? ~Dan Lee
A 10-year-old Florida girl faces felony weapons charges after bringing a small steak knife to school to cut up her lunch, according to a report on MyFOXOrlando.com.
School officials say the Ocala 5th grader had brought a piece of steak for her lunch, and a four and a half inch steak knife with which to cut it. According to the report, a couple of teachers took the utensil and called authorities, who arrested the girl and took her to the county’s juvenile assessment center.
Students sitting next to the girl at lunch say she didn’t threaten anyone with the knife; she just used it to cut up her food.
Necessary Sarcasm:
I don’t know about you, but that drafting tool displayed on the school’s sign (see below) looks sharp & very dangerous to me. I wonder if the school has those? If not, does having one on the sign promote the idea that students can bring a sharp & potentially dangerous drafting tool to school with them?
