First ride of the season turned into a nice drive.







The first ride of the season my wife and I had "kind of" planned ended up being a nice drive with absolutely perfect company. The plan was to saddle up after 2 p.m. as the forecast had called for spotty showers until around 2 p.m. and it was pretty stinking chilly in the morning. So I'm online checking the weather, and I see the radar still showing showers where we are heading. Now, I don't mind a shower or two when it's 80 degrees or hotter but with temps barely climbing above 50, I'll err on the side of staying dry everytime. I told my wife that I didn't really care if we rode the bike or not, I just wanted to get away for a few hours so let's just go in the truck.

We get to Port Clinton to find out our favorite mexican place, Mendoza's is closed, we figured they must have closed for the off season. We head through town thinking, o.k., we really had our hearts set on mexican grub, so now what? We went past the frisch's and both looked at each other and said, we may as well eat there because there really isn't anything else we were in the mood for. We had our rather unremarkable lunch and hit the road.

We first stopped at East Harbor State Park, a stop on a good number of our rides in this area and the spot where I proposed to my awesome wife nearly 6 years ago. We walked along the lake shore just basking in each other and the beautiful although chilly day. We stopped at a couple of other spots in the park and took some pictures. The first picture here is along the lake shore looking towards the Marblehead Peninsula, and the other is from the wet lands across from the lake. There are actually two swans in that photo but the glare and the distance we were from them makes them impossible to see. We left East Harbor to go to Marblehead.

We stopped at a road side park on Catawaba Island, ( it's a peninsula! NOT an island!) and walked along the nature trail there. When the trees and flowers there start blooming it will be a beautiful walk, but this time of year it was just a walk in the woods with not much to see. We left and tried to go to the African Lion Safari Park, the wife loves it, but they had just closed for the day. Undeterred, we pressed on to Marblehead. We arrived to find the grounds very nearly empty. The lighthouse doesn't open up for tours until June, so folks are pretty sparse until then, just the way we like it. We walked the grounds, took some pictures, and my wife played with our new 10X binoculars. Wow, those things are really cool! The picture contains the keeper's house with the lighthouse in the background. This keeper's house is not the house the keeper used for some years. The keeper lived a mile from the lighthouse and rode his horse to work everynight. He did end up moving his family into the keeper's house some years later and remained there until his retirement.
All in all it was a great day away from everything with my wife. The weather did end up cooperating although it still would have been pretty chilly on the bike with the wind coming right off the lake, helping to cool things down even more than farther inland.

Stupid Apathetic Americans

I write this with a heavy heart because I believe our Nation is doomed. Our Nation is doomed to spend eternity in mediocrity due to the stupidity of her own citizens. From the masses of morons thinking maobama really wasn't a socialist/marxist/wanna be dictator, to those thinking our rights come from the government and not GOD. We are doomed to repeat the mistakes of all others whom tried socialism/marxism/dictatorships and have found not only does it not work, but it bankrupts nations. Chairman maobama is well on his way to bankrupting our once great Nation, he continues to introduce and pass more legislation that further restricts citizens rights and steal more of our money.

Stupid people did not bat an eye when president gw bush enacted the so called patriot act. When this happened, freedom took a major hit, yet even republicrats supported this abomination claiming it will make us safer.. Need I remind anyone that, he whom gives up essential liberties for temporary security deserves neither liberty nor security. Not only has the patriot act NOT kept us safer, it has created more federal departments in our government that are helping to bankrupt her and infiltrate her citizen's lives and strip their rights on a daily basis.

Our Nation's so called education system has been taken over by a bunch of marxist union thugs that are more interested in forcing their radical marxist agenda down our kids throats than actually teaching the young about how and why our Nation was founded and the things that made her great. No, they prefer to teach how great a guy che was, what a great job mao did in China. For those with a public school indoctrination, che was one of fidel castro's thug hit men, his executioner, he helped castro's communist regime take power. Mao was a communist revolutionary whom killed, directly or indirectly through communist policies, millions of his fellow chinese. Sound like great guys to look up to doesn't it?! Yet the marxists in our "education" system idolize these criminals and point to America as the heart of the world's problems.

So how can the government get away with all this egregious liberty robbing tax dollar stealing crap? Because Americans as a majority are apathetic and worse yet, just plain fucking stupid! Don't believe me? Listen to these recordings from some man on the street interviews. In one, folks actually signed a petition to repeal the 1st Amendment! Again for those with a public school indoctrination, the 1st Amendment guarantees our right to free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly. Another one is from Howard Stern's show of all places. He sent his guys to Harlem before the '08 election to see if folks there were merely voting for maobama because he was black, the people claimed no, but I believe the recordings tell a much different story! Again, stupidity on full display for the whole world to see! There is one out there I didn't link that has folks in line in Detroit for a welfare payment claiming it was from maobama, they was there to get their maobama cash, from his personal stash because he cares about us peoples! Any wonder we are on a fast track to the hell of third world nation status? The truly scary part about these morons is, what are they going to do when big daddy government runs out of money, and it WILL, leaving those with their hands out begging for some thing that will no longer be there. So what then? Where will they get their hand outs from?

Warning: Do not watch these links if you are easily angered!

I just had to edit this post because a shining example of American stupidity just became available last evening. The link below comes from OUR house of representatives, shameful as it is to say. BUT, I fear to think of how retarded the voters are in this district if a total fucking moron such as this can get elected. This definitely proves my point that stupid Americans must shoulder a large amount of blame for how fucked up our Nation is currently!

Patriots Day Out




A Patriots Day Out
My wife and I traveled to Deleware State Park to meet some folks we are in contact with on some Patriot boards this Saturday. We met at the State Park shooting range to chat and most importantly shoot. We all met up, chatted for a bit then decided to shoot at some clay pigeons since both the handgun and rifle ranges were jammed packed full. I borrowed a deluxe mechanical clay thrower from a buddy so we would have an easier time of getting those evil orange birds up in the air. I hadn't fired my 12 ga. shotgun since I installed a new recoil absorbing pistol grip stock and I must say that thing really does reduce the felt recoil. I was also concerned about the accuracy being affected because some say the pistol grip does not afford the quick handling necessary for shooting clays. I found this to be no problem what so ever, once I quit "leading" those evil little bastards I did not miss. Us guys shot up a couple of boxes of shells each and decided to pack the shotties away to try to get on the handgun range since the ladies really, really wanted to shoot too. Don't ask why they didn't want to shoot the shotguns.... ; )
We got on the handgun range after BSing with the ODNR range safety officer for a bit and found it to be adequate but VERY muddy. Undeterred, we placed our targets and proceeded to have large fun watching the mud splatter behind our targets. We shot around 100 rounds each, helped out one gal solve her pistol jamming issue, she was "weak wristing" it, and chatted until the range closed. We all had a very good time and look forward to doing again very soon!

Stupid Americans want MORE government?!

So, how many stupid Americans really understand what they are getting with maobama "care". To call this scam reform or care is a travesty of epic proportions. This scam will not improve anyone's "care", in fact it will make our health care system so much worse it is almost unfathomable, not to mention our economy as a whole, which is STILL in the shit house.

Did I mention that these scum sucking bastards are planning on raising taxes to pay for this scam immediately upon passage, yet their great and wonderful plan doesn't start to give "care" until 2014. So, they are going steal even more money from us tax payers in an already shitty economy to pay for something they aren't even going to dole out benefits from for years ahead. The criminals claim they are going to put the money in a "lockbox" so it will be there to pay for their scam, but how can anyone believe a word that comes out of their filthy mouths when socialist security and medicare are SUPPOSED to have "lockboxes" to pay the promised benefits and yet both programs are effectively bankrupt merely being propped up by more deficit spending. Our government is so far in debt that our grandchildren will still be paying on it when they have children. That of course is assuming that our economy just doesn't totally collapse from within from it's own weight. This will be the more likely scenario which will fundamentally change the face of our nation. Folks will be fighting for food and water. The government will strive to take total control of every aspect of society, likely martial law or even force us into a police state.

This bill will increase costs because as any SANE and RATIONAL person knows without doubt, any thing the government controls is wasteful, corrupt, and inefficient. So naturally the costs for healthcare will skyrocket, the level of care will go down, Doctors will quit because of decreased payments to them from this massively engorged federal bureauracy, and people will die waiting for a federal bureaucrat to decide if they are worthy for coverage.

I will give this administration some credit though because they have done a good enough job of selling it to enough of the braindead retarded sheeple out there that it is still alive and even has a good chance of being passed, although they may well have to resort to parliamentary trickery to do it. I do believe if the criminals in d.c. resort to this trickery to get something a large as the health care scam passed the country will be on the verge of an explosion. We the People are sick and tired of not being listened to. What part of NO do these scumbags not understand? They believe we are stupid and don't know what's good for us. They are living their dream of 60's radical communists, planning on finally getting rid the "evil" America of their youth. This "evil" America the libretards hate is the country that has saved the world from despots and dictators for centuries and now we are being corrupted from within by those we fought to rid the world of.

We the People have been standing against this takeover of the best healthcare system in world since it's inception and yet the criminals still are bent on forcing this upon us. It makes one think that they have even more nefarious plans afoot in the very near future. Can anyone say dictatorship? I say, try it. We already have seen the slaughter brick and it is just the beginning. The resolve of American Patriots to save our nation is far greater than anyone could ever have anticipated.

My fix for illegal immigration

With our non-representing representatives pandering the need for immigration reform about in the media I thought I would write down my thoughts on this divisive issue. my views are a "bit" extreme for some but I really don't care what most think anyway. If the scumbag republicrats can find the balls to force these ideas into any legislation that comes, it will show the pro-illegal crowd for who they are. Power hungry scumbags not really caring about our nation but only caring about trying to secure more votes for their own re-election.



My first steps to immigration reform would be to:



1) CLOSE THE FUCKING BORDERS!!!


2) Allow our CITIZENS to protect their property, period.


3) Vigorously defend and protect our borders! Allow our border patrol to do it's job! A large wall
would be a very good idea.



Now onto the parts that will make the libretards really wet their britches....

Any amnesty would HAVE to come with conditions placed upon those whom receive it. Remember, those whom will receive amnesty have broken our laws to come here so a penalty MUST be paid to the society they have invaded.


1) Any amnestied immigrant shall pay a $1000 fine.

2) Any amnestied immigrant shall be placed on probation for a period of not less than 3 years.

3) Any amnestied immigrant shall learn, speak, and use ENGLISH in any and all transactions
outside his/her residence.

4) Any amnestied immigrant shall not be allowed to vote until such time the conditions of their
probation have been met, not less than 3 years.

5) Any amnestied immigrant shall fully participate in any and all tax paying duties that all
citizens are forced into.

6) Any amnestied immigrant shall not be eligible for ANY form of governmental assistance
during their probationary period, not less than 3 years.

7) Any amnestied immigrant shall not receive legal citizenship status for any children born
before or during the probationary period and shall pay a $1000 fine for each child.

8) Any amnestied immigrant that invades our nation with a child or children shall pay a $1000
fine for each child.

9) Any amnestied immigrant shall take and pass the same citizenship test that legal immigrants
take to become citizens. The test must be passed proir to the end of the 3 year probationary
period and can be taken at anytime during said probation.

10) Any amnestied immigrant that does not meet these requirements within the 3 year
probationary period will be subject to immediate deportation.

Whew! We needed that! Gun Powder Therapy

I decided to take a break from my political ramblings and write about a great Sunday afternoon my wife and I had.

What an awesome afternoon we had! My wife and I decided to go to our favorite firearms range near our home. We have both gotten new pistols for carrying concealed and had yet had the time to fire them to test them out. All I can say is WOW! My Glock 30 in 45 ACP, sub compact, is an incredible shooter. I have been hearing in various places that that sub compact size makes the larger 45 ACP round tough to manage from a recoil stand point in such a small weapon. All I can say to those that think the 45 ACP has too much recoil, especially in a sub compact weapon, you must be pussies. My wife shot the 45 without any problems, she wasn't terribly accurate with it but she held her rounds in the kill zone. My shots with the 45 were another story. The light recoil and good (standard Glock) sights helped me to keep 90% of my shots in the 8 and 9 rings with most targets returning to the firing line with the bulleyes shot out of them. This accuracy came from at the closest 7 yards, standard average defensive hand gun range to 25 yards. I am very pleased with the Glock 30 as my defensive carry weapon.My wife got a Ruger SR9, 9mm, for her concealed carry license. The SR9 is almost a full size weapon. We figured since she always carries her purse, and purse carrying is legal, she didn't need to have to worry about possible recoil issues that can crop up for women from using smaller handguns. To say she is happy with her Ruger is an understatement. Her accuracy was not as good as it used to be with her full sized 357 magnum, but #1) she kept all of her shots in the kill zone on all of her targets and #2) Her accuracy improved with every magazine fired as she got used to the 3 dot sights. She really loves having 17 rounds available for her defense per magazine, I pity the fool that would try to rob her.She also shot her 357 magnum and I also shot my 44 magnum to try to stay fairly accurate with both of these weapons as well. We haven't been shooting much lately because ammo has been pretty scarce around here and the prices have been ridiculously high. Rumors abound on the internet about chairman maobama coming after the Second Amendment, and I believe he will in time so it's best to always replace what you shoot and don't waste alot of ammo. Use what you need to stay accurate. The days of shooting for fun and therapy are over for the foreseeable future and maybe forever if the criminals on capital hill have their way with us.So I have to say that it was an awesome afternoon spent with my wife and gun powder. There is just something about a beautiful woman using a firearm that really does it for me! We both needed the therapy session to blow off some steam that has been building up these past months.

Can we keep it?

I haven't been as active on my blog lately because I am just pretty much fed up with our politicians and our citizens. Our politicians continue their back room deals, their outright bribery, their work for lobbyists, their destruction of our Constitution and their treasonous activities in general. A large portion of our citizens seem to have their heads inserted so far up into their rectums that there really appears to be no chance from removal. They go through life grazing on what scraps of freedom the government allows them have and seem happy to do so. It is becoming painfully obvious that a large number of our sheeple do not care about the freedoms we have already lost nor the freedoms chairman maobama's agenda is planning to take away.



We will have no future as a free nation if our citizens won't fight for it. It reminds me of Ben Franklin's statement when being thanked for helping to found our nation, about being able to keep our newly gained free republic. He said, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT. What he was saying was, we would have to work hard to keep our republic every single day if we expected it to last as the founders intended. Man is a flawed being and no matter how good his intentions, he is fallible and needs constant oversight when in any position of power over other people. We the people as a whole lost our will to oversee those we elect to "lead" us more than a century ago. Some would argue that this started essentially as soon as our nation was founded, and to a point they would be right. But I believe that this usurpation of our rights began in earnest during Lincoln's administration because I believe Lincoln's war of northern aggression against the southern states was an outright attack upon liberty and our Constitution. The 10th Amendment guarantees the states to have power OVER the federal government not the other way around. Some argue, incorrectly, that Lincoln's war was to end slavery, which it did in the long run. However if that statement is true, why did Lincoln allow slavery to continue in certain states that agreed to align with the federal government (the north) and why didn't Lincoln issue the emancipation proclamation at the beginning of his hostile actions towards the south? School teachers hate folks teaching their kids those and other "little" facts about why the war of northern aggression was fought, (I know from experience). These are a few of the reasons I believe this era was the beginning of the end of our free republic.



This regressions away from freedom continued with teddy roosevelt, woodrow wilson, and franklin roosevelt just to name a few of the better known usurpers. They all, regardless of political affiliation have been in on the process of leading us down the road of nannystatism. Don't think for a minute that I believe republicrats are our knights in shining armor. Republicrats are just as much to blame as the democans are. One only needs to look at the administration of george w. bush to see a massive hemorrhage of liberty at his hands. Ever heard of the "patriot act"? That one bill allowed the largest usurpation of our freedoms than any other bill in recent history. The outright attacks upon the Constitution that the patriot act brings forth are numerous and onerous. The fact that these criminals had the nerve to call this travesty the patriot act is even more insane. Ben Franklin said, " They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."



So where will we end? Will we end up still being a free nation? Some would argue, that we are not a free nation anymore already. I do agree with that statement to a point as we have ever increasing laws and regulations controlling everything we do. Chairman maobama's administration is on track to taking even more control, such as; regulating the internet, wanting to bring back the "fairness" doctrine which essentially places strict limits upon talk radio's content, his merry band of criminals has taken over parts of the auto industry, and parts of the banking industry. Chairman maobama and congress are in the process of taking over our health care system. The chairman's policies looks toward regulating how we heat and cool our homes. The chairman himself has admitted that our utility bills would necessarily skyrocket and the coal industry would be bankrupted because of his policies. When an elected public official has the nerve to come out and openly say what his plans are and ignorant idiotic folks still elect him, it shows the great peril our nation is in. Now the chairman's poll numbers are tanking, even his most ardent supporters are jumping ship. They claim this isn't the "change" they voted for. I say to them that this is exactly the change you morons voted for because he told us what he was going to do to this country PRIOR to being elected! And yet the fools still claim to be shocked. STFU! You're getting what you voted for!

Many of us have been sounding the alarm about where our nation was heading no matter whom has been in charge for years. But no-one wants to hear about how bad an administration or congress are when "their" folks are in charge. I have actually heard folks say that at least my guys are taking our rights slower! That kind of statement almost makes me speechless. So, these fools are saying that it's o.k. to give up essential liberties as long as it's done slowly?! Again, STFU! Only now that chaiman maobama's agenda is so aggressive are people waking up to what has been going on. I only fear that it is too late. But what I fear even more is the republicrats gaining majorities back in congress because I believe many of the "enraged" sheeple will go back to sleep because, again, "their" guys are in charge only taking rights slowly. I would prefer a rebirth of liberty in both parties, won't happen, but that's what will save our nation.

A third party will only split the "conservative" vote and help to keep democan's in charge. Third party candidates may actually win a couple of seats but I believe the majority of sheeple are not going to stray from the two main parties that have brought us to where we are. I know it sounds insane to think that folks wouldn't want to try someone new when the ones they have been voting for for years have had a direct hand in killing our nation, but mark my words, a third party will not win for the foreseeable future. By the time the sheeple will take a chance on someone else, our country will be nothing like any of us knew growing up.
