The following is a good example of why Mr. du Toit has more readers than I do.

 ”1. Habeas corpus can be suspended only for furriners—ie. terrorists apprehended either overseas or in the United States. In other words, not only can we try by military tribunal terrorists captured overseas, but also terrorists captured in these here United States. The right of habeas corpus still applies to all U.S. citizens—so Olberman et al. are talking crap when they imply that habeas corpus has been suspended in the general sense: it’s only been suspended for furriners accused of waging illegal war against us.

To sum up, therefore:

1. This instance does not fall into the 1% of occasional truth uttered by Lefty commentators like Olbermann and Hentoff.
2. Not even the Lefty commentators can call Congress’s passage of this law a “strictly partisan vote”.
3. The United States can now pursue the War Against Terrorists as an actual war, and not as law enforcement.”

Let’s hope they do just that and get this thing finished!

It has been brought to my attention:

The death of habeas corpus

Olbermann: ‘The president has now succeeded where no one has before’.

It got me going for a while,  then I got around to actually watching the Olbermann video.

It looks to me like,  If I decide to be a terrorist,  I can forget about using Habeas Corpus to slow down my trial.  Ohh Phooey, there go all my plans to be the next O-Samy.

Anyway,  after watching the video, I’m fairly confident that I’m not anymore prone to government haraasment that I was before this bill was signed.

Looks like another attempt to stir up shit by the liberal media!

Kennedy, Clinton, Pelosi, Conyers, Kerry, Feinstien, Schumer:

Moving the political career of any of these seven forward,  is the first step to;

• Renewed and new gun control laws
• The U.N. taking control of the American way of life
• The banning of hunting and gun ownership
• The downfall of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, as we know it
• Higher taxes
• Less National Security
• Ratifiying the agenda of George Soros, and the United Nations
• Gutting the Supreme Court

The NRA-PFV gives Debbie Stabenaw an F and Mike Bouchard an A.

Terry Lynn Land and Mike Cox also get an A.

Jim Barcia,  Democrat,  District 31  also get’s a A.

Bart Stupak (D), Dave Camp (R) both get A’s.

Granholm get’s a B-, and Devos get’s an A.   Jennie has been (sort of ) Ok,  but maybe it’s time for a change.

There are plenty of A rated politicians to vote for,  (contact me if you don’t know your polititions rating).

Don’t be lulled into skipping this election.  It is very, very important to the continuation of the rights of gun owners, hunters, and sportsmen.

Consider this official statement by the United Nations:

“”Self Defense,  is a privilege that governments may choose to grant or withdraw.  You have NO HUMAN RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE.  If a government does not impose repressive restrictions on gun ownership - more severe than even the laws of New York City, or Washington DC- then that government is guilty of violating international human rights.“”

Now I don’t know about you,  but the above statement, is about the most alien thing I’ve ever heard stated or printed.  NOT IN THE USA,, NOT NOW,  NOT NEVER!!!!!!!!!

I watched game one last night,  from what I could tell,  St. Louis showed up,  but the Tiger didn’t?  Hopefully,  they’ll come to play baseball tonight.

One big hole in the ground!  That’s what the first test firing of my new LR-308B resulted in.  :-)  I couldn’t resist anymore,  I took it out behind the shed,  loaded up one round,  and pointed it into the dirt.  BOOM!    Results:

It doesn’t kick very bad,  (it’s heavy)

It ejected the Federal spire point softnosed round perfectly.

It made a very respectable hole in the hard pack ground.

I then brought it back in and did the ritual one round,  clean the barrell and chamber thing.  Once it was clean again,  I just had to run up town and buy a scope.  The one I was waiting for didn’t show,  so I bought a Bushnell Trophy.  3to9x,  40mm.  I might have paid a little more for it uptown than I would have at Walmart,  but,  I got plenty of help selecting the right scope mounts.  We had to test out three different Weaver mounts before I found one that actually worked.  The straight stock on the LR-308B dictated that I use the Weaver extra high mount.  With the low mount,  the scope bells wouldn’t clear the mounting rail.  With the medium mount,  the scope bells, cleared by a paper width.  The high mount, gave about 1/8 in,  but the scope needed to be a little higher for me to get a clear picture.  Weaver extra-high quick detachable mounts, bingo.  (This would have been hard to do at Walmart,  especially considering that it’s an “evil Black Rifle”. 

The scope is now mounted and fit’s very nicely.  I’m impressed with the speed of which the gun comes up and aquires a sighting picture.  Maybe in a few day’s,   I’ll get a chance to take it out to the club, (along with a cleaning kit) and do the intitial sighting in.  We’re looking for one hole accuracy here,  so I’m going about the break-in very slowly.   

BTW, I considered not writing this article tonight,  (right after last nights article with warnings of legal action),  but hey,  what do I care  what certain idiots may read into what I write.   No double talk here,  slander me,  and I’ll sue you, (not shoot you).  Notice the catagory of this post,  (it’s in shootist, not news or political!

BTW II,  Tomorrow, Saturday Oct. 21st,  is the annual Pumpkin chuckin’ contest on US-23, at CC Sports between Ohmer and AuGres.  Never been there before,  but it sound pretty interesting,  catapults and pumpkins!   Hope the weather co-operates.  It’s supposed to start around 10am.

P.S.  You should read Kim du Toit’s latest missive:

Hunters VS Shooters

Going over some troubling events that have occurred over the last few months,  I’m starting to worry a little over the souls of a few people I thought were my friends.

Fortunately,  I’m now totally disassociated with those people.  There is no need for further contact with them,  or even any reason for me to aknowledge their existance.   In fact,  they have ceased to exsist in my mind.  Any contact from them directed to me,  will be treated the same as hostile contact from a stranger.

And, if any of them are still monitoring this blog,  and looking for way’s to cause hurt to my self or GreyBeard or our families,  know this:   It’s a free country (so far),  you can read what you want,  and I suppose, read into it what you want.  But, from here on out,  slanderous actions will be met with legal action.

Have a nice day ASSHOLES! (you know who I’m talking to) ;-)
