It is important to teach shooting under supervision...

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an Australian.
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. Read his reply
to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this!
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
This is a portion of an ABC radio interview between a female
broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout
Troop visiting his military Headquarters.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young
boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be
teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline
before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The broadcast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the
interview was over.

State of the Union Speech

Must be feeling better, I want to talk. Anyone catch the Presidents State of the Union speech, I am trying to understand his bi-polar streak where he plays Santa Claus. He wants all, gives all, it all costs nothing to the middle class and elves make and pay for it...darn I think we are the elves. Last tax on the Millionaire's became a tax on the middle and lower class. The quickest roll down hill tax on record, I am waiting for my million....call me impatient but it has been 6 weeks....

Never let an Avocado get away from you and hide behind anything. I have not been feeling well for over a week and have used the let me sleep this off and I will get better self healing method. Usually works, I have a tendency to drive myself instead of taking one bite at a time. So, I have been getting up in the morning feeling pretty well, after making breakfast I was feeling bad, after lunch worse and after dinner drop dead ugly. Well last night feeling sorry for myself I went looking for some citrus fruit, after all extra vitamin C is a good thing especially whole fruit. Instead of finding citrus I found two Avocado's that had hidden behind my Mexican mortar and pestle,  it is a cute little guy who has a hand carved pork face, maybe, looking closely at the picture it looks like a bovine something, let me know what you think.  The Avocado were white with powdery mold, instantly I was feeling ill. Instantly I put them in the garbage, took the garbage out and cleaned the hiding spot. Washed my face and hands. For all you who keep your counter tops devoid of  decoration, hurray for you, I'll consider it. I woke up this morning feeling much better and it is obvious I will live and not pay for an expensive Doctors appointment that would only give me steroids and the potential for coming down with what ever virus is prevalent at their office! This can be avoided and next time I come down with a spike in head- head ache, I will look for mold first!

I just realized something, I am no longer worried about anything concerning my health and neither should anyone else. Under Obama care the minute you become 65 you will no longer have health care of any kind, the death panels will determine you will get no care and if you are under 65 you will have so few Doctors to visit you will have no health care so...all you really have are work years to pay into a program you get nothing out of! You will not have old age, only work years!!

A German's View on Islam - worth reading  This is by far the best  explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read.  His references to past history are accurate and clear.  Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The  author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known  and well-respected psychiatrist.

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

  We are told  again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is  the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims  just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

  The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals.  It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

  The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.
  Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who  just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists  were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people.  The peaceful majority were irrelevant.. China 's huge population  was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

  The average Japanese  individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist.  Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East  Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed  by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

  And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

  History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.
  Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from  Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics  own them, and the end of their world will have  begun.

  Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians,  Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died  because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too  late.
  As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

  Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the  passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on!
  Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on - before it's too late.

  Now Islamic prayers have been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?) The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in. And we are silent.......

2/5/13 I just finished listening to a congressman from Minnesota -some guy calling himself Ellison tell the Fox News audience that 68-75 percent taxation on the rich was okay. Well folks get ready somehow every time they tax the rich those of us in the middle class take it in the shorts...brace yourself for 68-75 percent taxation well let me see-gone are the days of owning a home, gone are the days of having a new car and gone are the days of anything except paying rent and buying food. I hope you like goodwill, while it lasts, and what little food you can buy, and forget heat or electricity. Better wake up before it is too late, whatever they do to the rich trickles down to those of us who are below. In case you forgot the last tax increase on the rich increased your taxes as well, check your paycheck lately, well it really gets good in 2014. Medical equipment anyone?

8/30/18 Ellison strikes again seems he is into sexual abuse. Nice guy, wants to raise your taxes and abuse you all at once

I have just had some of the best bread ever! My friends at Stick and Stone Brick Oven Bakery have been baking bread and since I make my own sour dough bread (San Franciscan type) I am rather self satisfied. My second love in bread is a good Rye, not one that is dipped in Molasses but one that is lighter, grainier and with caraway seeds....I found it! Great taste and texture and the smell is divine! Contact David and Sarah Evans Bryan at the Stick & Stone Brick Oven Bakery, they are on face book in Fort Calhoun!
