Is it racist to say "high five, babe!"?
Excellent, Jim! BRAVO!
BTW, have you’ve got any of those “Thompson” submachine guns left?
That is funny!
"...Any weapons we resort to must be "real" weapons not pistols. i.e. Rifles and shotguns. Due to concerns of re-supply (you have to plan for a long battle) such weapons should be limited to very small number of different rounds."
"if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."

This actually could be a great opportunity for us...
Wasn't the word originally applied to the areas of European cities, such as Warsaw, where the Jews lived? I know they speak of the assault on the Warsaw Ghetto.
In fact the first defintion in Merriam-Webster online is the one referring to the places where Jews live(d).
Main Entry:
Function:
noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural ghettos also ghettoes Etymology:
Italian, from Venetian dialect ghèto island where Jews were forced to live, literally, foundry (located on the island), from ghetàr to cast, from Latin jactare to throw — more at jet
Date: 1611
1: a quarter of a city in which Jews were formerly required to live
2: a quarter of a city in which members of a minority group live especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure
3 a: an isolated group b: a situation that resembles a ghetto especially in conferring inferior status or limiting opportunity
BRAVO!!!!
high Five and fist bump!
My grandmother always said people who accuse others is because they have the problem themselves.
Thank the Lord for Jim, whatever his name is.
And thank you, Sir, for once again proving that you are the man we all hope you are and for vindicating our involvement in FR.
God bless you!
Nope! Gimme five, Babe! :)
Um... I say this with all deference and don’t mean you any disrespect, but... I think this Jim Thompson has more “fire in the belly” than you do, or actually than anyone else in the Thompson family ever had, for six generations back. So maybe you should step down and let JT take over the show here?
Ditto...
That's the defining difference between the left and conservatives -- the left hates, conservatives get angry. Since the left cannot understand righteous anger as anything other than hatred, they project their own hatred onto conservatives in an attempt to make themselves feel better.
And that, in a nutshell, is Keith Olberman, spokesperson for the left.
Further, Olberman is a perfect example of George Orwell's "minute of hate." Go get a copy of 1984, highlight the passages on the state sponsored mass hate of the enemy of the day. Lay it open where your dad will see it. Other than that, I share your pain -- I have family who won't speak to me because I'm so "hateful", I haven't gone to Thanksgiving for the last several years, and one uncle threatened to kick me off his land because I had a bumper sticker supporting a republican congressman.
C.S. Lewis, in one of his science fiction Christian allegories, makes the great point that God gave us hate so that we could have the proper attitude toward sin. We turned it around as a weapon against our fellow human beings.
Viva Big Jim Thompson!
Thanks for all you do each day

It won’t happen, andy. I wish it, too, but we’re a divided country, mostly by religious beliefs. Half believe in God, the other half either pretends to or mocks Him. We won’t have peace until Christ returns. Rest in Him. That’s where the real peace abides.
I’m a Rottweiler and German Shepherd man, myself.
But Bloodhounds are truly cool dogs. Most people don’t realize how powerful and active they are. They see the droopy ears and eyes and picture one lying down next to some fat old farmer reclining on a porch.
People may think you’re crazy now, reader25, but within about 10 years, I believe you’ll be the sane one and everyone ELSE will be the crazy ones.
Good luck. And may your dogs catch many liberals!
