    NOW  SHE  IS A TEACHER!!!
 
In September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a History teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock , did something not to be forgotten.  On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks in her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.  'Ms. Cothren, where are our desks?'
She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.'
   
    They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.'  'No,' she said.
    'Maybe it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your
     behavior.'
   
And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. Kids called their parents to tell them what was happening and by early afternoon television news crews had started gathering at the school to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room.
   
The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the desk-less classroom. Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he or she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.'
 
At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniform, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned.
 
Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. They went halfway around the world, giving up their education and interrupting their careers and families so you could have the freedom you have.  Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
 

By the way, this is a true story. And this teacher was awarded Veterans of Foreign Wars Teacher of the Year for the State of Arkansas in 2006. She is the daughter of a WWII POW.

Adopt a terrorist program....

ADOPT A TERRORIST!
 
       A Canadian female libertarian wrote a lot of letters to the
Canadian government, complaining about the treatment of captive
insurgents (terrorists) being held in Afghanistan National
Correctional System facilities. She demanded a response to her letter.
She received back the following reply:
 
National Defense Headquarters
M Gen George R. Pearkes Bldg., 15 NT
101 Colonel By Drive
Ottawa , ON K1A 0K2
Canada
 
Dear Concerned Citizen,
 
      Thank you for your recent letter expressing your profound
concern of treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists captured
by Canadian Forces, who were subsequently transferred to the
Afghanistan Government and are currently being held by Afghan
officials in Afghanistan National Correctional System facilities.
 
      Our administration takes these matters seriously and your
opinions were heard loud and clear here in Ottawa . You will be
pleased to learn, thanks to the concerns of citizens like yourself, we
are creating a new department here at the Department of National
Defense, to be called 'Liberals Accept Responsibility for Killers'
program, or L.A.R.K. for short.
 
      In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have
decided, on a trial basis, to divert several terrorists  and place
them in homes of concerned citizens such as yourself, around the
country, under those citizens’ personal care. Your personal detainee
has been selected and is scheduled for transportation under heavily
armed guard to your residence in Toronto next Monday.
 
      Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud is your detainee, and is to be
cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your
letter of complaint. You will be pleased to know that we will conduct
weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are
commensurate with your recommendations.
 
      Although Ahmed is a sociopath and extremely violent, we hope
that your sensitivity to what you described as his 'attitudinal
problem' will help him overcome those character flaws. Perhaps you are
correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences. We
understand that you plan to offer counselling and home schooling,
however, we strongly recommend that you hire some assistant
caretakers.
 
      Please advise any Jewish friends, neighbours or relatives about
your house guest, as he might get agitated or even violent, but we are
sure you can reason with him. He is also expert at making a wide
variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you
may wish to keep those items locked up, unless in your opinion, this
might offend him. Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in
hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple
items as a pencil or nail clippers. We advise that you do not ask him
to demonstrate these skills either in your home or wherever you choose
to take him while helping him adjust to life in our country.
 
      Ahmed will not wish to interact with you or your daughters
except sexually, since he views females as a form of property, thereby
having no rights, including refusal of his sexual demands. This is a
particularly sensitive subject for him.
 
      You also should know that he has shown violent tendencies around
women who fail to comply with the dress code that he will recommend as
more appropriate attire. I'm sure you will come to enjoy the anonymity
offered by the burka over time. Just remember that it is all part of
'respecting his culture and religious beliefs' as described in your
letter.
 
      You take good care of Ahmed and remember that we will try to
have a counsellor available to help you over any difficulties you
encounter while Ahmed is adjusting to Canadian culture.
 
      Thanks again for your concern. We truly appreciate it when folks
like you keep us informed of the proper way to do our job and care for
our fellow man. Good luck and God bless you.
 
Cordially,
Gordon O'Connor
Minister of National Defense

Watching the Zimmerman trial

I know that most of us are "gun nuts" and know the law about self defense and when you can legally use deadly force and I can guess that some readers of this blog or other pro 2A blogs have taken MAG40, LFI or trained at Thunder Ranch etc. and have learned what to say after a legal self defense shooting and I have noticed that the prosecution in the Zimmerman case are using that knowledge against him. Pretty scary when think about it, especially after watching what seems to be a kangaroo court.

Makes sense

Also hiring lower IQ officers makes it easier for them to control them so that they will blindly carry out "orders" for our "safety". Remember that these are public employees and the hiring needs to be "fair" or that smart people are smart enough to get out of the law enforcement business???

GTFO of Massachusetts

"View From The Porch: Cradle and Grave of Liberty, Part Deux..." http://feedly.com/k/13wvgKS

I took a tech Holiday!!!

  I went camping for a few days, had to do it, I needed the vacation. But this was more than a vacation for me, I had a chance to do something I haven't done in 25 maybe 30 years before life started to take over, not that life is bad, I was just reminded that I have to take time for the important things like fishing with my old man.

  You see I grew up in desert, in Las Vegas to be exact and was born on the Arizona, Kali and Mexican border on this side of course in Yuma. Growing up my weekends were spent either on the lake, out in the desert hunting, out camping on the race track or around the house cutting wood and doing yard work or working on my '65 El Camino or my '57 Chevy. The important thing about these events is that they always included my dad. Once we took a week long kayak trip Lake Mead bringing only meager supplies and lots of beer. It was 9 years till I would be old enough to drink, but I discovered how good a Budweiser could be good for breakfast and we stayed up all night catching catfish cooking strips of steak and beans over an open fire. Some weekends we would load up the car and or truck and the we would go spend the weekend at Willow Beach on the AZ side of the Colorado river.

  So for the first time in years we embarked on a journey to catch some catfish on the John Day River since neither one of us had tried to catch any catfish in Oregon. Living in the Willamette Valley I have grown accustomed to catching trout, salmon and stealhead for the last 20 years and forgot how much fun it can be. You can only fish for those fish during the day, you have to have a special stamp and it's a lot of work and can get expensive real quick. You gotta get up early in the morning at the but crack of dawn and fight for your place on the bank in what we call commando fishing or fight your way in your boat to find a spot in checker board of boats on the river. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and exciting and real blast, but staying up all night with some beer, a good vaporizer and a good book (click the link, I can't put this book down) when the old man finally falls asleep. You know you got one on the line when the fish pulls the rod from out of you lap.

  Our adventure started off by driving over Mt. Hood, with this great view out of the pick up truck window in the way up.
Then we got to the spot called LePage park, luckily pops had his senior pass so the campground only ran us $15 for the 3 nights!!! This is a view from the docks...


Here is a view from the campground...

After fishing got a little slow we decided that the next day we would fish off of the John Day Dam, which is a great place to get snagged...

So we took off for greener pastures...


And found this 7 miles down stream and the old man was the first to catch a good sized channel cat. Great view though!!!

What the pics can't do is allow you to hear all of the bull frogs going crazy or that along with bull frogs come bugs!!! Lots of bugs!!!!

Even with the windmills in the view, I tried not put a downer on trip while I lamented about all of the extra tax dollars and subsidies that these windmills suck up...
Played with some of the setting of my HTC ONE camera...

Then we got a great view of Mt. Hood on the way back...

On the way back we stopped off at The Dalles Museum which has an excellent Lewis and Clark exhibit and I found this, read the description and then click then scroll down to see the pic. As good as that would have worked, you may as well shove it up your ass....


Then we headed back over the mountain.


Didn't take any pictures of the fish since it was dark and then we ate them and let me tell you that catfish and bacon grease is an excellent combination!!! Looks like we have an annual trip on our hands, so who is coming with next year???

Now tell me why we need to free up more money student loans??? College needs to be affordable and putting students in debt to pay for these coaches high salaries and then we are forced to pay their retirement doesn't make much sense.

We all have a dog in this fight!!!

This pushes Cody Wilson into a corner where only specialized lawyers dare to tread and what I believe is a petty, though effective, attempt to slow the wheels of the machine that trys to expand and keep our freedoms. This machine can't be stopped since you will notice that these files are already on the torrent and warez sites, but now I fear that the statist will use this as an excuse to destroy more of the freedoms that we enjoy. People in some of the countries affected by itar are already making arms out of commonly found household I items and they may try to destroy our freedoms because of it. For example they may try to make it illegal to buy a case of nails if you aren't a contractor, or pipe if you are not a licenced plumber etc... We need to shout out loud and clear that we will not be sacrificing our liberty for security!!!

Et tu Cato???

I usually agree with the Cato Institute, but... Suggesting that we should buy into the narrative that it is common sense to curtail certain rights and is the burden of the people who want to keep those rights to prove that they should be preserved is bravo Sierra. We have already compromised and we know if we have them an inch they will take a mile and eventually take the whole highway.

More on my latest project...



So I have printed a AR15 lower, but not quite ready to start my build. There are are a few types of 3D printing, one is direct filament that the first functional AR was made from (http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21639015) and the other is sometimes called the candy machine which is a laser that sinters the the "sugar" in layers and then a hard coating is sprayed or brushed on the surface. I only have access to the latter, so this is what I have to work with. Even though this part may work, it is still costly, so here is what I decided to do, use my 3D printed part to build mold, a polyurethane mold. This opens up a whole slew of options such as wide choice of materials (for example some polymer AR lowers are made with nylon6, I can use a similar and stronger polymer that isn't restricted by what's best for injection molding), choice of colors that are easy to mix where you are not stymied by cost of investment to change colors on a whim and last but not least is cost (as in the cost to build a mold for a injection molding machine). The versatility doesn't stop there because one thing I have noticed is that most of the people buying and using 3D printers are hampered by the fact that they lack CAD skills and more importantly 3D CAD skills. I have been in the CAD/CAM CNC industry for 20 years now and know a couple things about manufacturing. So for example, I can design a logo, cool quotes in any font or a 3D rendering of a deer for those that want to throw on a 300 blackout upper for a dedicated deer rifle or even make it so that it can accept glock mags for 9mm uppers.

So where am I going with this..... Well since it is polymer and easy to machine, I want to make and distribute 80% polymer lowers that will be strong and reliable. I have beefed up some of the areas that are prone to breakage with the polymer lowers on the market, so this could be a real viable endeavor that offers a strong and reliable lower that will pass muster once testing is all done.

So if any of you want to send me a buffer tube or some upper parts, I would be more than happy to make it worth your while. I cannot and will not send you a completed lower because that's not legal and I value my freedom, but a 80% lower with the tooling to make it into a real part with your drill press isn't that far away.

So that's what I got going on, I would like some feedback from you guys to tell me what you think.

Cheers
