review of america freedom to facism....

i recently got a link from a buddy about this film. i was very skeptical at first, and figured i;'d watch about 5 minutes of it's 151 minutes and then move on to better things. i'd be lying if i didn't admit i watched the whole thing and i can say it's a decently done film, except for one thing. more on that later.

i even send a link to rampage45XXXX.

this film left an impact on me, i was part rage, part shock, and a whole lot of other emotions mixed in. i made me feel betrayed and lied to, and i can say i was not a happy camper. i spent the weekend thinking about it while i went about my chores and life, etc. there were a few things that bugged me so i did what anyone would do:)...a little research on the topics of the film via the internet.

as usual turns out there is more than a few topics that are very controversial and after weighing both sides of the story.... it appears the film has went a bit off left field in their interpretation of the facts.

there is some complicated subjects that they turned into yes and no type of stuff, when it's not really that simple. i can't say the film didn't provide some attention that certainly is needed on certain areas of our complex system. as for their theories on it, it appears the facts are against them...but it's another lesson for me to remember always be skeptical no matter how good it sounds. reminds me of the story my old man told me about jury duty he was on. he said the first lawyer would speak and by the time he was done every juror was sure he was right and was on his side. then the opposing lawyer would speak and by the time he was done everyone was on his side. point being is words are vicious weapons. we all have to be very careful and make sure we always find out both sides of every story before we make up our minds.

none the less. it's an interesting take on the way things are, and worth a watch if you enjoy conspiracy stuff. just remember to look up the other side of the story so you get the full story and not each sides edited version. here is a link to both sides.....

a nice counter point site that expels all rumors about tax laws, etc...

the recession is offically over, but where are the obama stimulus jobs?

surprising, hardly. typical politics and govt. remember the shovel ready highway jobs that were going to be created and put people back to work immediately....well i recently went on a 13 state road trip and what i saw was about 15 signs showing the obama stimulus that was supposed to create shovel ready jobs with no actual workers working on them nor any real construction started. yet congress managed to spend over 15 million dollars putting up road signs that said your stimulus money hard at work on " construction" sites and future road "construction" sites.

the good news is, i guess at least the sign people and the design people got 15 million bucks putting up worthless expensive signs to try to make obama look less like an asshole than he already does. after all how many good jobs could that 15 million bucks have created???

well almost 1 trillion dollars of made up money and borrowed money from congress and obama, and how many jobs did this actually save or create? let's do some investigating shall we....

obama and his number crunchers claim they saved or created 650, 000 jobs with almost 1 trillion in stimulus money, actual 787 billion or so. shall we do the math....that's $1,210,769.23076 per job the govt spent. over a million bucks per job. hell, not much bang for our buck is that?


here's the problem besides the obvious that over a million bucks per job is pretty damn shitty as a track record. it is a known fact that they double counted lots of govt jobs. state, local govt jobs are great, but this doesn't exactly help the everyday worker...besides that, we could create 10 $100,000 jobs with a million bucks instead of 1 job. anybody else see the stink of this whole thing? this 650,000 jobs are all almost all low paying govt sector jobs...not private. so essentially it shows that govt sucks at even creating something as simple as jobs with a huge chunk of cash.

where is all this money going if not creating jobs, you ask? well read the bill. plenty of earmarks and special interest spending, nonsense...yeah the same stuff he promised he wouldn't allow or sign into law. is anyone really that stupid that they think this guy is on the up and up?? if so, i worry about you.

keep in mind that not all this money has been "spent" yet....so the liberal wackos will argue that only so many billion or whatever has been spent, but my argument is why not? how long can it possibly take to create shovel ready jobs, damn!! every day more and more jobs are lost and we ares itting on a huge pile of money and not creating those shovel reafdy jobs and getting people back to work right away, as promised? seems to me this was part of the reason the bill got passed....to create/save f'ing jobs!!!!! f' ing bureacrats.

damn, obama sucks the big one. we'll see how america thinks after these rounds of elections coming up and how he wasted how many working hours campaigning for dumbasses like himself. if i got my own obama beer party like that idiot, racist, loudmouthed, harvard professor.....my first question to him would be, where are your campaign promises asshole? do your f'ing job! you promised of fixing the economy, so stop playing politics that you pretend to dislike so much when they are used on you. and get your ass to work fulfilling what you promised!!!

p238 first range report

so i took my new p238 to the range to run some ammo through it and see how it handled. the only .380 ammo the range had was pmc fmj or ball ammo, korean stuff, so that is the only ammo i can report on at this time.

so i only had one magazine and it's the one the gun came with. i played around with the mustang version magazine and it appears to have a larger bottom lip and a higher arced ammo feeder.

anyways, so i shot 50 rounds through it. not one hiccup. feed all fine ejected all cases fine, no ftf, fte, ft feed. nothing ran perfect.

i shot a silhouette style paper target. the sights on my p238 ened up having me shoot a bit low. nothing horrible, but i did have to adjust to hit where i wanted to. other than that accuracy was decent. at around 10 ft, hitting dead center and shooting through the same holes was easy. at around 20-25ft. hitting the center mass was a piece of cake...hitting the dead center took a bit of effort. at 35ft....hitting the center mass was easy. all in all a decently accurate pocket pistol.

trigger pull is rated at around 5lbs. while it wasn't as nice as my emp trigger, it was a very decent trigger. i noticed no creep or travel nonsense. it broke clean and in the same spot each time. verynatural pull for me. far nicer than my kel-tec p32 trigger or any glock trigger i've shot. i know it's comparing apples to oranges.

the recoil. i was a bit weary after reading the horror stories of people shooting the ruger lcp and kel-tec p3at and having numb hands, etc. the p238 was a breeze, it had so little recoil i was actually shocked. it felt like shooting my walther p22. i know people compare guns to .22lr recoil all the time, but this gun had almost no muzzle flip and repeat shots were almost too easy for double tapping.

well i only shot 50 rounds due to time constraints.

i did a cleaning on it when i got home and the pmc ammo while it did well at the range, it was dirty as hell. i didn't notice it while shooting, but when i took the gun apart to clean it it had black everywhere. cleaning was easy. no special tools were required. it's very similair to a 1911, but a little different in a couple ways. field stripping would be no problem at all.

now for the bad part....the nitron finish on the slide. i followed the sig manual instructions on cleaning to the tee...even the ridiculous brushing oil deal. i noticed after all was said and done that the deep black nitron was now a lighter grey. in other words it appears to me that this finish came off after only one shooting and cleaning. pretty sad. the deep black on the frame was still there...but now the slide looks grey and the gun looks two toned. maybe i'm crazy, but i seem to remember the gun being a deep black all over?? anyways, that is enough for me to recommend getting the non-nitron version.

all in all i have no probelm recommending this gun to anyone who is okay and is trained and understands, the single action "cocked and locked" setup for ccw. it is an awesome gun and the fit and finish is really good at least on my gun. my only complaint is the nitron fading this quickly.

what's in my arsenal now.....

well let's see besides my shotguns...and my walther p22. i added a kel-tec p32 in .32 caliber...that i like to carry. this gun although underpowered to kill troublemakers....is very nice to pocket carry. i also added a springfield armory emp in 9mm. i looked hard at the kimber's and sa, but in the end the sa won as all the kimhber's i looked at in my dealer's stock had issues. it was shocking to me how brand new guns at this price point could have these kind of flaws. even my dealer said he was getting sick and tired of the kimber quality contol issues. now mind you most were superficial stuff like corrosion on the their carbon barrels/muzzles. and just all in all bad finishing work for $1k + priced stuff,....but i've also heard good results with kimber's and if i remember right i think rampage owns one that has been good for him, right? anyways...i like the springfield better, so i added the emp. from what i say comparing apples to apples...springfield vs. kimber...springfield wins every time. cheaper, better quality materials and all in all better guns for less money than a kimber. not that kimber's are crap or anything, but they are too high priced for what you really get. ymmv.

i also added a s&w m&p 15 in .22lr. this is onbe awesome gun. looks badass and is badass for a .22lr rifle.

lastly a sig sauer p238 in .380. i love this little single action pistol. it is one awesome gun for under 500 bucks. almost an exact copy of the infamous colt mustang pistol.

well safe shooting everyone......

what is obama doing?.....

it should be no surprise to anyone who reads my ramblings that i'm not a big fan of our current president. what i see going on, is shocking though. forget about the birth certitifcate, beign a secret muslim, and other nonsense being pumped out there by anti-obama extremists...i'm talking about his war with fox news.

this is the first time a president has played this kind of battle with a news agency. now we could debate all day long whether fox is a news outlet or a conservative think tank propaganda machine. that isn't really the point. there is always going to be a slant in a news group. no one here can't possibly think that msnbc isn't a left leaning group...and fox is a right leaning group. the point is....we are talking about abuse of power and freedom of the press. a president cannot use his broad political and monetary power to attack and punish a news agency...because once this trend starts it won't end with just fox. even the other news networks have figured this out, and they refused to interview one of obama's czars since fox was not invited. next election a hard right wing president might get elected....high likely at the rate obama is going,...but who here wants this right wing hard lined president to attack the remaining new agencys with their power? before long every news agency would be afraid of rocking the boat and hence they don't report the nasty stuff that goes on in politics. then it won't be long before we have no idea what is going on and when the limited transparency is gone, abuse becomes rampant.

obama is out of his mind. he needs to put a stop to this right now. if he has half a brain, and i'm sure he does.....if he doesn't want to be remembered as the first president with a glass jaw who can't take a few jabs and someone who shut down the freedom of the press, he betyter think long and hard on how he is going to proceed with the way he does business.

ammo shortages continue, ccw permits going crazy, sotomayor, stimulus plan...man o man...

well the ammo shortages still seem to be on going. .22lr finally is getting easier to find....but still hard to get what brand and type you want. .380 acp is in very short supply. hard as hell to find...the new .380 range of ccws is out and this could account for those shortages. i talked to a ffl holder who is buddies with an ammo distributor and he says 9mmx19 luger is in such demand that they won't shut down that production to make the .380acp or 9mm wurz (short). so this could continue for sometime.

btw, ammo stockpiling isn't being done by crazies....everyone fears obama and his gang of deadbeats thugs. the gun stores are packed everyday around here and it's all walks of life....the gun nuts don't even show up anymore because there is too many people paying top dollar for anything that goes bang. obama has won one award this year...gun and ammo salesman of the year!!!!

i applied for my ccw permit. that was a cluster f!!! class was packed to the gills with people wanting to carry a firearm concealed legally and protect themselves. it appears it's not just me that fears obama and his thugs are working hard to taking our 2nd amendment away. most were single older (40's and 50's) women who have never owned or fired a gun in their lives. talking to the instructors they tell me the bulk of the classes are that group. very few young men and women (aka brain dead obama supporters). so far the state is so far behind you'll be lucky if you get your permit in 6 months. to renew it, by law in my state, they have to do it in 90days...but that isn't happening. recently due to the state budget cuts...the state democrats tried to steal these funds. the governor stopped it though. see balance of power works better than a fascism.

oh and sotomayor. i love this stupid old hag. according to the nra she has ruled in the past that the police have no obligation to protect any individual, rather only the general public. meaning if the police mess up and don't get to you in time or at all and you end up raped or dead, it's not their problem. likewise she has ruled in favor of people not being allowed to defend themselves legally. in fact she thinks only federally owned lands are covered by the 2nd amendment....not the states. so basically she thinks the police don't have to protect you and you can't protect yourself. pretty smart, isn't she. a true wise latina woman, if i ever saw one, lol. she's not appearing to me as too bright a long term thinker in her decisions, but then again and to be fair i've never heard a lawyer i thought had any common sense.

the real irony is if this is the best we have in america for the supreme court we are doomed. i'll bet though there is more than a few wise old black or white women or men who would be a far better fit for this lifetime appointment....but it appears in america we have to fill race quotas. getting the best most qualified person is second fiddle to filling a seat with a hispanic. nice going obama, nice going. you are really leaving a historical legacy. the first president since carter to fuck up everything he touches.

the stimulus. so far it's saved basically no jobs. there is so much red tape that getting the money is almost impossible. the business i'm in bidding on govt housing in the tampa area.....they speced out top of the line carrier infinity systems (the gold standard of air conditioning and humidity control) for govt housing. yep when i questioned the county about it and how it wasn't going to be cheap....they said it wasn't an issue as it's in the obama stimulus plan. you should see the other top tier stuff they speced out. so your tax dollars are providing better air conditioning and housing than you the tax payer can afford for themselves. this is happening people.

what america needs more than anything right now is a Ron Paul type of guy. remember this come 2012. i sure hope the idiots that voted this nimrod obama into office aren't remembered as the generation who lost our god given rights by electing morons who care more about power than the hardworking, self supporting, american people. the true backbone of this country.

fyi, if your an obama supporter i don't care what you think so don't bother commenting. i could give a rat's ass to your warped and brain dead beliefs. btw, fuck you, too.

swine flu - should we be just as worried about crying wolf?

well it shouldn't be news to anyone at this point. we have a swine flue outbreak. swine meaning it's a variant of a human/pig influenza virus. yes, pigs are so similar to humans we can bascially cross pass viruses between us. in fact pigs organs are almost identical to ours as well as their flesh. in interveiwing cannibal societies over the years they related human meat to being very close to pig. also ballistic test are sometimes doen with live pigs to get "better real world results."so think of that next time you eat some bacon or a ham.

anyways, so it's come out of a big smelly shithole called mexico city. no surprise to me, but a bit disturbing seeing how many border crossings we have daily into our country.

well rather than cover whate very media outlet is on this pandemic. i'm going to state what i thought of going back to the asian sars outbreak. this was pusehd in much the same way as this swine flu is now. as we know the sars outbreak was stopped fast. we could debate all day on what stopped it, but my point being is that this one is being taken very seriously in some ways too seriously. what i mean by that is, if this thing dies iff and doesn't do too muhc on a global scale. when we have a bird flu plague or somehting else that could wipe out hundreds of millions of people will we all take it as seriously as we should?

i don't know.

lately i've been kind of a dooms dayer in my ramblings and this time i am not saying to ignore this bug. it appears to be getting worse and mutations occur quickly and that could mean not only young children and old people getting killed, but also young healthy adults. so yeah i am saying take it seriously. not to the point where you exhaust yourself though. meaning the next time another one of these pops up, your memory of having put so much energy and effort for no reason on this swine flu might make you just shrug your shoulders and say so what.

okay back to my dooms dayer. this is certainly not what we need right now in the global economic crisis. the travel industries meaning hotels, airlines, destinations, etc can't take any more cutbacks in volume. ironically it was the travel indistry that turned this into a global pandemic. i got a bad feeling about this bug, this time. of course all i seem to get lately are bad feelings about everything. so keep that in mind as i ramble on further.

this could be a show stopper. if it mutates and becomes much more deadly we could be seeing entire countries being shut down due to panic and govt quaratines type of actions. such as shutting schools, businesses, and curfews, etc. stuff that is already happening in mexico city, btw. scary stuff.

sometimes i sit back and try to vision the future. most of the time i see a world not a whole lot different than the one we live in now, but sometimes i see a perfect storm of small issues all piling together, to the point where it is too late to correct it, and everything goes to shit. have we reached that point....i don't think so.

well what's my advice on this round of being kicking while we are already down. keep a low profile until this thing ends. stay home as much as possible. follow the cdc's handwashing after touchig stuff and not touching your nose or mouth with your hands, etc. you can get the whole list at the cdc.gov site. avoid crowds. stay far away from sick co-workers. you never know if a buddy or relative you dont know about came back from mexico and has it. that is how this stuff spreads and fast. if your kid's school gets shut down temporarily due to this. use up your vacation time and stay home with them. a small child's life is worth far more than some vacation time. do not put them in daycare. that's the basics.

if this thing turns into a plague or starts to really ramp up....my advice is to watch any plague sci-fi flick. they usually cover all the scenarios possible.:)
