Manufactured by Lacroix Pyro-Technologies of France, the HIWS will be marketed by the FNH team. It is capable of hurling the 2.2-pound payload of a 3.3-pound round more than 700 yards in an indirect-fire mode. In a direct-fire role, the HIWS can engage targets out to 300 yards.Touting a sophisticated recoil-mitigation system, the weapon produces no back blast and no overpressure, making it possible to fire the system from an enclosed space - even from inside a vehicle. The HIWS is also relatively quiet: Ear protection isn't needed when firing the system.
Obama's Unilateral Disarmament Plan
Senator Barack Hussein Obama has problems with his spiritual advisers Reverend Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger and he has problems with his friends like William C. "Bill" Ayers. Then we found out that his own family has been going communist for years and back at least 2 generations. Now we know that Barack Hussein Obama doesn't like this country (even though he is wealthy and a U.S. Senator) and he wants us to unilaterally disarm.
Barack H______ Obama and his Pastor, Part II
Today I learned that Barack H______ Obama (here refered to as BHO) has a pastor who has for 20+ years espoused hatred of white people and believes that God (the singular creator of all things) is black and for black people. That BHO hasn't actually disavowed him any more than he has disavowed his racist, white, grandmother (yeah, grandma you couldn't choose, Rev. Wright you did choose). Further he gets thrice weekly phone calls from the Rev. Al Sharpton (who also believes that all white folks are to blame for the problems black folks have). Moreover, I learned that BHO gets some fantastic advice from some guy name Meeks, another black minister who preaches hate. Then to top it all off I hear this other black minister who's for Mrs. Clinton who talks about BHO's mother as trash.
So, I suppose that BHO was right yesterday when he said we've all heard such talk in our churches. Well, apparently we have if we're black. Me? Nope, never. All I ever heard about in church was about God and Jesus and finding understanding God and Jesus and finding salvation in the church. There was no taking the lord's name in vain, no use of the "N" word, no referring to the congregation as idiots or fools. Of course the churches I attended never blamed the black man for anything. They didn't call for the destruction of black people.
The thing is that most of the churches I attended were in the south. The south of racists whites. Now it seems the whole country is the home of racist blacks. I hate to think that some of my friends, who also happen to be black, might go to such churches and hate me because I'm not black.
One thing is certain. I'm not voting for a person who hates me. I'm not voting for a person who's advisers hate me. I'm not voting for a person who's wife hates me. I'm not voting for a person who rejects one whole half of their gene pool based on the color of their skin. I will not be like them and I will not vote for them and I will not put them in a position to exercise their hate on my children, my grandchildren or my great-grandchildren.
Now here's some video proof of this despicable and threatening behavior...
The Great Global Warming SwindleThe Great Global Warming Swindle is a must see for those of you who think you know it all based on Al Gore's proselytizing for his new religion.
Electronic Bagpipes
I love bagpipes, the war pipes, although that loophole version from Ireland sounds good, too. They stir my blood. I don't doubt that my Irish, Scots, Welsh and Cornish ancestry has something to do with that. I think the pipes make a statement as much now as when the English banned them from Scotland. If I were POTUS, I would be piped into and out of every public event. My piper would be escorted by an armed Marine and US Army Airborne Ranger and the group would be in the charge of a Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer armed with a sharpened cutlass or an Old Guard officer with spontoon. The pipes kick ass and I'd want everyone to know that is exactly what I'd do to our enemies. But enough of the Walter Mittyisms, from Lawdog comes this bit about a Spanish musician who invented electronic pipes. Jose Angel Hevia Velasco -- who performs under the name Hevia -- is a Spanish bagpiper who hauled off and invented a MIDI bagpipe which he plays live during concerts. He's actually pretty good.
The following video is probably his most famous piece:
We have had a lot of requests to replay the phone call that Pastor Mike shared during our church service on Sunday, Nov. 11th, 2007.
Here you'll find the video clip that was created just for you. We've placed the video on YouTube so that you can watch it and share with family and friends.
Logan is a 13 year-old boy who lives on a ranch in a very small town in Nebraska. Logan listens to Christian Radio station 89.3FM KSBJ which broadcasts from Houston, TX. Logan called the radio station distraught because he had to take down a calf . His words have wisdom beyond his years.
Since airing the audio of the phone call and now the making of the video clip, it has taken on a life of its own. People are forwarding it all over the world. We encourage you to share the love of Christ with anyone you can.
(**Sky Angel is a family safe broadcasting service that is offered on satellite. KSBJ is a local Houston Christian music radio station. Video clip produced with love by Frank Lozano. Hear the entire message at ValenicaHills.com)
KT Tunstall
Saw her the other night on some show and thought I'd look up some performances on YouTube. Here they are. I think the girl has some talent. Oh, and she says she's not gay...
Mrs. Clinton What Will You Say Next? (and Will You Mean It?)
I've been looking for this clip from the debate. Everyone is talking about how Mrs. Clinton is first for, then against, then for drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. All this in about 2 minutes. "Startling" is how one person described it. For myself, I wasn't surprised about Mrs. Clinton's views or apparent lack of committment. Nor was I surprised when her campaign staff and she said the boys had piled on and the moderator had been aggressive. You see, nothing that Mr. or Mrs. Clinton do is ever their fault. Too, Mrs. Clinton hasn't the charm her husband has. She can't gloss over her duplicity, anger or stupidity with an "aw shucks" moment. Everything about her contributes to the extremely negative perception fully half the voters have of her. Oh well, look for yourself...
Governor Schwarzenegger Does Something Right...
He shuts down this reporter seeking to play the blame game...
I'm more than a little tired of reporters/journalists not telling us the facts. When they try to do so they get the facts wrong. I liked when she's gesturing (a dominant hand gesture) he negates it by taking her hand.
St. Crispian's Day - Let us too steel ourselves for battle with our foes...
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires. But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England. God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more methinks would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made, And crowns for convoy put into his purse; We would not die in that man's company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is call'd the feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.' Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember, with advantages, What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words- Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester- Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
David Kucinich, Presidential Candidate and Traitor
There is this interview of David Kucinich on Syrian TV at Breit Bart TV. This maroon thinks that the UN has a role there, now, after the sectarians and Al Queda killed UN representatives to drive them out of the country. He thinks that US citizens want precipitous withdrawal. He thinks that we should be loved by the world (we are, by those who want a good life and will do anything to get here). He thinks we harmed the Iraqi people. Jeez.
THE ATV You Need...
This is just too cool. I would think that these would be THE ticket for Alaska, Ontario, Quebec and the northeast US. I think you'd need lots of lakes and major rivers in/on/adjacent to public land to really need one of these. Swamps not so much maybe. I'd love to hear from anyone who has one.
See the whole line, yes, line of these vehicles at Gibbs Technology.
Finland and The Winter War
I don't have any Finnish ancestors that I know of. Nobody currently living in my family is Finnish. Yet, I can't help but have an abiding respect for the Finns. They successfully resisted Soviet domination for years. The sound goes screwy on the second video so you might want to turn down the sound...
Royal Australian Air Force F-111 sinks North Korean drug ship. After being caught trying to smuggle drugs into Australia the Pong Su was sunk by two 2000-pound (900 kg) laser-guided bombs dropped from an RAAF F-111 aircraft. The deliberate destruction of the freighter was said to deliver a strong message to international drug smuggling rings that the Australian Federal Government would take all measures necessary to stop illegal drug importation.
Do you think that did the trick? I'm thinking North Korea is now working on using an old diesel sub to do their exporting work now.
"Here's video footage of the Japanese Coast Guard tracking and engaging a north korean spy trawler. The events occur over several hours of daylight and night. It looks like the NK spy trawler refused to be boarded after warning shots with a minigun, it was set afire, stayed afloat, rammed, then the NK's shot at the JCG with automatic rifle fire and RPG(s). Then the Japanese crews really opened up on them and the spy trawler was set afire again and exploded. The last few seconds show the damage to the JCG vessel(s). Please add details if you can read Japanese and if you can find an English transcript about the fight."
Ok, so it is an OLD video. Maybe done to death in another time. I don't care. No trawler carts around RPGs... This interests me because all Chinese and Korean stories interest me. I also think it demonstrates that the North Korean government (i.e. Kim Jong Il) is a bubble off in the international relations deparment. It is as if they want to antagonize the Japanese.
Eleanor Holmes Norton Lectures her Constituents
Credit to Xavier for finding this gem that shows that the antis just don't get it. And they worry about George W. Bush! Amazing. Anyway, have a look see and pass it on.
Tribute
A friend of mine lost his father today. A veteran of WWII, his father must have been a great man, his son is. When I saw this I was moved to say another prayer for both him and his father.
Concealed Carry on College Campuses
This is a hot topic following the Virginia Tech murders. Here, the subject is discussed.
Clearly, I'm for honoring the CHP everywhere. CHP holders have been vetted, trained, and are of legal age for possession. They are not children, legally or in terms of personal responsibility. I also think it is the height of elitism to think that a college campus in the midst of the rest of society is somehow magically immune to violence. In Virginia that has been disproven at several colleges the most widely publicized recent event being Virginia Tech.
Rosie's Latest Release
Frankly, the woman is an ignoramus. She is simply accepting what other, real nutters, have propagandized. Heck, even UBL took credit, presumably in a not for release video, for the act. No, she's not the only one pushing this but let's be clear on one thing. If this had happened during Clinton's presidency (gee, it almost DID happen in 1993), there would be none of this doubting of the facts. It is all political agenda driven. That is the saddest part.
Anyway, the question is being asked today if this pre-show rant was the real reason Rosie was let go from The View. I don't know, care less, but thought you might want easy access to the video. It took me a while to find it on YouTube. If you want it for your own blog or whatever, look up "Rosie, o'donnell, 911".
Cyndi Lauper
Lacking a desire this morning for articulate expression of rational thought I'll just post this video of Cyndi (age 53!) doing what she does.
You Never Know What You'll Find in Staunton, Virginia
Maybe you'll see one of these folks at WalMart! Found this but I had no idea, I don't go out much...
the Soviets Tried to Seize Finland Again & the Finns Resisted
At the beginning of WWII, the Soviets attacked Finland. Later, after 1940, the Finns fought the Continuation War (with the Germans against the Soviets) and then the Lapland War against the Germans (if I understand this bit of history correctly). An interesting show about the first of this series of Finland against all comers, broken into 10 minute sections in order, top to bottom.
