It’s Hollywood.

The book describes a 6’5” character and they pick a midget with a pretty face.

Yeah, I got one of those recently too - got diesel all over my hands in the process.

Go to http://www.solar1234.com, a few links down he has a fuel storage interview he did.
Simple manual siphon XFer pump and blue barrels are the key.

I want to know who she voted for this past November and what her political leanings are.

I bough some flexible metal funnels and put those into the fuel filler and then remove the spout and pour directly from the can. No spills.

No. The warning labels are placed so that, when some idiot burns himself and sues, the manufacturer of the can is able to point to the warning label in court and say “we warned you”.

“Yep — now they’ve found that Nancy Lanza was a prepper. This could not be any more delightful for the gun control crowd than to demonize/stigmatize those preparing for economic collapse.”

I’ve read this in the news and seen it posted a few times here on FR.

But it almost begs a question (that I haven’t heard anyone else ask yet):

Could Ms. Lanza have been a reader of FreeRepublic?
Or... even a member?

Makes one wonder about the bookmarks and cookies on -her- computer...

9. Only child is the norm. Kids don’t have brothers or sistes and also have a few cousins if any.

10. Due to the delaying childbirth, children don’t often have living or active/non-eldery grandparents to look up to.

11. Young decent guys turn inward as they constantly get rejected and humiliated by today’s empowered women who sleep around like alley cats with every lowlife thug & player.

Yep, thank you gals, you’ve really come a long way baby.

To get around the stupid gas can problem, I visited some outdoor flea markets and bought up some of the old metal 1-gallon gas cans that were common 30 or 40 years ago. They still aren’t too hard to find.

That is good to know. I’d like to get some surplus jerry cans, but they have gotten uber-expensive and I’ve heard in the past that some service stations won’t let you fill them.

Exactly! The “safety” feature on the new gas cans have caused me to spill/waste more gas on the ground than the old “non safe” version! I too remove the spout and use a funnel. But I’m sure EPA will outlaw this practice as well or make it so you have to fill it through the “safety” spout.

He could’ve done the same job with a couple pistols he could’ve gotten anywhere. I keep my stuff locked up and I don’t even have kids, but I don’t think it would deter anything that much.

Re” Criminals don’t obey the gun laws”. Our leaders don’t about our criminal laws”.

Look at what Obama and Holder and Chu and Salazar and Sebelious, etc. have done that has been illegal re recess appointments, czars, regulations, “transparency”, election donor kickbacks (re Solyndra, etc., plus the number of Democrat members of Congress who have been convicted of crimes, or their spouses (Feinstein, Schakowsky, Hastings, Corzine a project in the works, Jesse Jackson Jr (was a work in progress), and others. Harry Reid and son were so close to indictment that you could have won a bet that both would have gone to jail if there were any real justice in Nevada. Oh, about claims that Reid was mobbed up as Gaming Commissioner. WOuld love to see the FBI wiretaps on that one. How do you say Al (Two to the head) Dorfman?

Yep. Pelosi (another potential criminal for insider speculation on S.F. real estate), you sure drained “that swamp of corruption” in D.C.. However, in your bizarro world, “draining the swamp” actually means filling it to overflowing, which you have done well.

Even a regiment of Roto-Rootor men could clean out your cesspool.

THe best start to cleaning up crime in America would be to jail every Democratic Party leader in Congress and their cronies. They are the party of “Elected Organized Crime” figures.

No, the real cause of such tragedies is the complete hollowness of our souls. People can bluster and rant all they want, but the hard, cold reality is that a free and open society cannot exist in a population that has dedicated itself to hating God and removing His precepts from their private and public lives.
You can pass all the laws you want, but laws cannot change the heart of a man, and that’s the plain fact that people are assiduously avoiding, particularly the goddless, among whom rank the Democratic Party that openly rejected having the mere mention of God in their platform.

American society, Liberals mostly, have chosen to decouple society from Biblical standards and principles, and then they wonder how all the insanity that follows could happen. They have sown evil and thus they have loosed evil.

There is no mystery here.


Thank you for “preaching”. We need to hear it. If one godless individual reads your post and repents, it is worth it.


John Adams quote:

Gentleman,
While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. .............. we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, • would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
