On shooting from the rooftops: Who plays with rhetoric that reflects lunacy?

The picture in the blog shows an FN FAL, which is a British army rifle. The tea shirt above is something else, I don't recognize it.

The picture above is a .50BMG rifle of some sort - there is some discussion of it (and a great summary of what "Vote From the Rooftops" really means in post # 58) HERE.

Sure, it's rhetoric. However, to dismiss it as "childish" like the writer above has, well - that would be unwise.

a radical accused of actively planning to use gun violence as a political tool.

The left would NEVER use gun violence as a political tool.

Would they?

Vision Fairbanks, a modest proposal...

All these Vision schemes are part of Agenda21. Modest my azz.

The Current President of the United States kicked off his campagin in the livingroom of an un apolegetic, unrepentant, blood drenched Terroist who has never backed away from his belief that 25% of the population of this country would have to be killed before this nation might be properly governable.

Am I worried about some clown and his gun? No. I am not.

Dan O’Neill is the author of “The Firecracker Boys” and “A Land Gone Lonesome.”

Ah yes. Best sellers in Zimbabwe.

What is a libweenie like that doing in AK — and where’s the “Barf Alert!”?

[Tainan]

As a former resident of Fairbanks, Alaska, that sure as heck isn't the Daily News-Miner I remember.

Looks like some liberal journo school wussies moved north and took over the paper.

I notice that the Fairbanks Daily News Miner has removed all comments that take issue with the editorial. It appears that they have gone entirely over to the dark side.

Should I be shocked?

This post tore me up:

“But I have never been so amazed at the behavior of those carrying guns and using them in a dangerous way in innapropriate places - i.e. neighborhoods where there are close homes, children, and pets, when there is no need for self defense - unless an intruder were to come into your home. We have shooting ranges - how about using them? How about respecting the laws we already have on the books, as well as respecting your neighbors?”

Just shy of a couple weeks ago I took a 9mm to _3_ rabid coons running in my neighborhood, thereby sparing the ‘close’ neighbors’ grandchildren, pets and themselves the sickening rabies shots ~I’m~ now getting.

Aren’t I just such the epitome of an inconsiderate, selfish, trigger-happy bitch?

Who do I think I am, “using them in a dangerous way in innapropriate [sic] places” when I’m sure there’s a perfectly good shooting range *somewhere* near here?

[woulda been 9 yards of hell trying to bag up them coons and transport them there, though, for a more “appropriate” dispatching, I tell ya what]

“When all else fails … vote from the rooftops.” That’s how a T-shirt logo advertising Michael Dukes’ radio show reads. What can that statement, in blood-red lettering over a black background and paired with the image of an assault rifle, possibly mean except that people who aren’t satisfied with election results should use an assault rifle to take matters into their own hands. That they should climb to the top of a building and start killing people?

It's a useful option to have on tap, just in caswe the Teamsters' boss should start telling his union thugs to start killing Americans with whom they have political differences.

Oh, wait- that's right. He already has....

I'm no gun expert, but I really don't think that's an assault rifle. It's some sort of sniper rifle. Two very different weapons.

You're quite correct. I can even tell you who the fella behind the trigger is. And so can a couple of other folks around here.

[Squantos]

Shhhhhh.....:o)

[Travis McGee]

Hey, I’ve been a guest on the Michael Dukes show a bunch of times. Even sent him books, to use as call-in guest prizes. More points on my Fusion Center accumulated score! Holy cow, I’ll bet I’m pegging that sucker.

Kinda off topic for this thread, but the thread I was going to post this on was pulled . . .

I recently added a new accessory for my Mossburg, an inexpensive cloth nail apron from the local home repair bigbox store.

Cost should be around 2 bucks or so. Mine has 2 large pockets and a narrow pocket between them. The large pockets can each hold 2 boxes of loose 2 3/4 inch 12ga shells loose for easy access. The narrow center pocket now holds a spare mag for my .45.

Nice touch. I came up with something similar, using one of a pair of the one-dollar-apiece black fabric Wal-Mart shopping bags, fastened together over the shoulder, front and back, as ballistic plate carriers. Or for shotgun shells, or buzzgun magazines, if you're so inclined.

Oh, about the tacky Wal-Mart logo on them: I turned them inside-out before I started modifying. Works fine.

There's a much better essay on Precision Voting, with accompanying photos, *here.*

Dated info, but timeless, some of it.

Way things are going your gonna have to fill that with grenades......:o)
