This story is a real tear jerker. I love to see pro athelets who take time to give back, especially to kids. This is a six year old who doesnt have long left on this earth, and he got to spend the day with his favorite sports team....how awesome! Compared to what this little one and his family are going through, all my problems seem trivial.

AR-15s Paint job and other Stuff....
A friend of ours used fingernail polish to paint the etchings on his glock...so cool I thought. So Senior did my AR in Hot pink. I know the picture doesnt look that great, but remember folks, I had stitches in my right hand and it was hard to keep it steady.. : )
Secondly this morning, over the past weekend We worked in our spare room got out a guest bed, and bought some more shelving for our food supplies. In the white boxs is our current haul from the LDS. not quite to our goal yet, but getting there slowly as finances allow.
Lastly this morning, I am reading on US News that Americans fear Obamas re-election 2:1. I too am in fear, it is a very real possibility, especially if we don't pick a strong republican nominee. Senior and I are preparing for 4 more years of BO and his BS. But, we do have a voice and it is called VOTING. and if you don't get out and vote, then you don't have a reason to complain. BO is going to try every dirty trick in the book to win, and I am positive one will be to replace Biden with Hillary. And then there is the numerous voter fraud that will go on. So it is up to us to create a revolution in the voters box, and make him a one-termer.

Missing Sailor and the ERB petition....
Petty Officer Hatfield is one of the 2900 + active duty sailors being affected by the militarys ERB. This is the board that is basically "laying off" our sailors as of September 1st. I hope that suicide is not what our government is driving our sailors, soldiers, and airmen to. These men and women answered the call to defend this country and did so proudly, and now our country isnt there for them. Please, Please, Please...sign the petition : https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/petition/review-how-sailors-are-being-involuntarily-separated-us-naval-service-fy-2012-enlisted-retention/mMmDRqWV
We have just over 4000 signatures, but need 20,000 + by January 17th. If you have a blog, please feel free to repost this on yours, so we can spread the word and make Obama rethink what they are doing to our guys and girls. We have so much unemployment in this country, so now we are going to add to it?
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - Family and friends of 2nd Class Petty Officer Sean Hatfield are still searching for him. Hatfield has been missing since Jan. 1.
Portsmouth firefighter Nikki Hatfield last heard from her husband on New Year's night when the couple exchanged text messages.
"And he texted me back, 'I love you' in all capitals with exclamation points. And that was it. But that's not abnormal. That's, 'Goodnight, I'll see you in the morning' y 'know," Nikki said through tears.
The Hatfields live in the Landstown Meadows area of Virginia Beach and that's where volunteers and police are focusing their search.
Friday, police used a helicopter to do aerial searches of the area. Volunteer K-9 tracking dogs have also been used in the search.
Nikki's fellow firefighters, as well as other firefighters from Virginia Beach, combed the wooded area of Landstown Commons. The group also distributed fliers to local businesses, asking if anyone has seen someone matching the 43-year-old's description.
Nikki says Sean has struggled with depression and gambling, especially since learning that he would be laid off from his Naval jet electrician job later this year. But, she says he seemed to be doing well during the holidays.
"We had a great Christmas. My family was here," Nikki said.
No money is missing from the couple's accounts and Sean's wallet, beloved car and other personal items were left at the couple's home.
Nikki tells WAVY.com that one item that is missing is an 1890's Winchester .22 caliber rifle, which she referred to as a family heirloom.
Police say there are no signs of foul play and consider Hatfield's disappearance a missing person's case.

My Conservative Kids and What They Say.......
Our youngest is a very opinionated five year old. He does not miss a beat with anything you say to him. Many times we have had to stop him before he speaks.
So it came as no surprise when his kindergarten teacher sent me a private facebook message on a conversation they had in class yesterday about MLK. Thankfully his teacher is a good conservative with Christian values; we had her last year with our oldest. I volunteer in the classroom, and she and I have become good friends.
He cracked me up today He asked who Martin Luther King was, and before I could answer him He says "Is he a democrat? Democrats are jerks" His classmate asks "What is a democrat?" He then answer "A jerk" I don't know how I kept it together, but I did
Senior and I then sat him down, and explained that actually MLK was a conservative republican. and that believe it or not, not all "brown people ( as he likes to say) are democrats... We told him about Mr. Herman Cain, Condeleeza Rice , and etc.... So I hope our little talk did some good, and he absorbed what he learned.

This is the exact conversation between him and his teacher:

LDS Cannery Part 2
With my hand still wrapped up and being on limited duty. Yesterday , I sent Senior to the cannery, this time he took our buddy "Rebel". He is a good friend and fellow group member, and he has been asking to go. Senior was thrilled to introduce him to our LDS friends.
Rebel was like a kid in a candy store ! He purchased wheat, beans, and non-fat dry milk. Senior said it was hard to get him out, however when they got there the boys couldn't actually do any canning as that area was all ready shut down for the day. So, we are hoping next time Rebel goes he can actually take part in the process as its a fun, learning experience.
Senior has also been working hard on the excel file for our inventory list, now that he is in a statistics class in college he has been nuking the heck out of that poor list.....I told him to nuke the most commonly picked lottery numbers and get us a winning ticket, then we can go buy about a hundred acres somewhere in the middle of no where, which would be my perfect vision of utopia.... : )
So again, like I always do with the LDS, I encourage you all to find a cannery near you and check it out, or you can go through their website and order...

Do NOT Carry Your Gun into NYC!
Or you could be like this Marine....Okay, Okay, he should have checked the New Yorks Gun Laws first, only he did and it was inaccurate..and, both he and the nurse in the story volunteered their weapons, and have no priors. They are nothing more then law abiding citizens, who were on vacation/business....So we will just blame Mayor Bloomberg; Mr. AntiGun
Ryan Jerome was enjoying his first trip to New York City on business when the former Marine Corps gunner walked up to a security officer at the Empire State Building and asked where he should check his gun.
That was when Jerome’s nightmare began. The security officer called police and Jerome spent the next two days in jail.
The 28-year-old with no criminal history now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of three and a half years in prison. If convicted, his sentence could be as high as fifteen years.
Jerome has a valid concealed carry permit in Indiana and visited New York believing that it was legal to bring his firearm. He was traveling with $15,000 worth of jewelry that he planned to sell.
The online gun-law information Jerome read was inaccurate, however, and his late September arrest initiated what may become a protracted criminal saga. He hasn’t yet been indicted by a grand jury, but there may be little legal wiggle-room if he is.
“If he does get indicted, and they want to give him something less, then the legal minimum would be two years,” noted Mark Bederow, Jerome’s attorney. “They couldn’t even offer less if they wanted to.”
Jerome isn’t the first out-of-state visitor to volunteer that they had a gun, only to be put through the wringer. In December, Tennessee nurse Meredith Graves noticed a “no guns” sign at the World Trade Center site and asked where she could leave her weapon, only to face similar charges

Michelle Obamas Warning to Gun Owners.....
Nearly three years into President Obama’s first term in office, Michelle Obama finally said something with which I can agree.
At a recent fundraiser for President Obama’s re-election campaign in Providence, Rhode Island, the first lady told her audience:
“We stand at a fundamental crossroads for our country. You’re here because you know that in just 13 months, we’re going to make a choice that will impact our lives for decades to come … let’s not forget what it meant when my husband appointed those two brilliant Supreme Court justices … let’s not forget the impact that their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come.”
Currently, the Second Amendment clings to a 5-4 pro-freedom majority on the Supreme Court. Just one vote is all that stands between the America our Founding Fathers established and a radically different America that Barack Obama and his supporters envision.
If you want to read something scary, take another look at the minority opinions in the Supreme Court’s landmark Heller and McDonald decisions that struck down Washington, D.C.’s and Chicago’s unconstitutional gun bans. In the Heller dissent, four justices concluded that the Second Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to own a firearm, nor does it protect our right to defend ourselves, our families, or our property. In McDonald, the same four justices argued that the 5-4 Heller decision should be reversed.
If these four justices had just one more vote on their side, their opinion — that the Second Amendment should not exist in today’s modern society — would be the law of the land today. And assuredly, the anti-gun activist wing of the court knows how close they are to gaining the upper hand. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a Harvard Club audience in 2009, she looks forward to the day when a “future, wiser court” overturns 5-4 decisions like Heller.
Praying for the health of five justices is not a sound legal strategy for ensuring that our Second Amendment freedoms survive the relentless legal assault that gun-ban groups are waging in courtrooms across America. We need a president who will nominate sound, originalist nominees to the high court — nominees who will preserve the freedoms our Founding Fathers enshrined in our Constitution.
If President Obama gets the opportunity to tilt the balance of the Supreme Court in his favor, we’re unlikely to see another pro-gun victory at the Court in our lifetime. Even worse, the 5-4 majorities in Heller and McDonald will be in serious jeopardy of being reversed, effectively eliminating the Second Amendment.
