I had no idea who Hal Turner was, so I did a search and ended up on his website.

I've concluded that Hal Turner is in desperate need of large quantities of valium, and I'll be happy to do my part by forwarding him a few hundred emails that some nice folks in the Fine Mreddications business were kind enough to send me.

Bringing a thought over to this thread.

>>> Because of bacteria, they are forcibly removing people <<<<

What’s really a good laugh. Is those of us who have gone to & from Olongapo / City Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippines


Once you made it past the guards at the front gate, you crossed a bridge which spanned a river known simply as the "S**t River." (and that’s what it smelled like) Not a pleasant name, but fairly appropriate given that raw sewage from the town was often dumped into it.

Girls in little, flimsy boats and boys swimming in the water beckoned from below the bridge, telling passers-by to throw pesos or centavos into the river

There would usually be about eight to ten teenage girls down there, all wearing white slacks and brightly colored tank tops. They would balance precariously in their boats and had nets to catch Pesos tossed down from the squids above. Some squids would try to throw the coins just out of the girls reach in the hope of making them fall out of the boat.
(Never saw a girl fall though.) They each did, however, have a young boy in the water next to their boat to dive down for the Pesos that the girls missed. These kids were
literally swimming in an open sewer.
Yet they all healthy.

Gee a painted label San Miguel would go down great now.

As I read it, the 2nd Amendment alludes to the state militia. One can infer an individual right, but it would be hard to enforce against a state government.

The militia is everyone. What do you think people did before there was a national guard?

And just because there is now a national guard doesn't mean that the rest of us should all be slacking off here. YOU are ultimately responsible for your own safety and well-being, and asking someone else (police, national guard, whoever) to take a bullet for you smacks of snootery.

"Actor Sean Penn lugs a shotgun through the flooded streets of New Orleans as if he is starring in an action thriller - but he is not. On Tuesday the Hollywood Liberal looked more like Charlton Heston, prowling the storm ravaged Delta loaded for bear. Penn's spokewoman said the weapon is not Penn's, she said did not know exactly how Penn suddenly became a poster child for the second amendment."


The scum is sure floating to the surface down there.

The People ARE the Militia, not the National Guard.

Strictly speaking, the National Guard, when not federalized, form the Organized Militia, or at least a part of it in states which have a State Guard.

Here is the definition of the militia in federal law. Basically all males 17 to 45 and all female members of the National Guard. (And male guardsmen beyond those ages as well) YMMV depending on your state, in Texas it's all persons, save a few public officials, from (approximately) 18 to 60. Even the old Cat has a few more years in the Texas militia.

Many nights, Miss P. had a .38-caliber pistol in one hand and rosary beads in the other.

Now that is a true heroine from the Second Battle of New Orleans.

Any sort of explosive would have caused a catastrophic failure with a hugh gush of water all at once, and that didn't happen.

Not necessarily. It could have been a series of small charges, or even only one, that weakened the levee in a single spot (for each break) the water pressure would do the rest. Such an explosion might not even be noticeable on the surface, if it was buried deeply enough in the levee.

However I agree that the chances of finding any explosive residue after all that water rushed by, would be nil.

How the hell do you get "State Militia" out of "the people?"

People bear arms to form militias. Militas don't form arms to bear people.

What the hell kind of right would that be?

I was trying not to confuse RobbyS anymore than he already is.

Even the old Cat has a few more years in the Texas militia.

Just look at it like Ted Nugent does, "The Senior Militia"

I was thinking the very same thing as I watched TV today. At one house they left the window wide open! Unfreakin' believable.
they probably marked it and left it open so others would know it was searched for survivors/dead bodies, dont get your panties in a bunch.

I'm sure you missed the post 2nd Ammendment Mama was replying to. What she meant was that as a homeowner she wouldn't appreciate the police leaving her house unlocked.

It really bothers me to see the cops going door to door prying open doors, marking walls, and then leaving the homes open and unguarded for the looters.

Thanks for the ping to this great story Travis.

Of course, if the Founding Fathers had not intended for the people to be armed, they would have disarmed them instead of adding the 2nd Amendment.

To RobbyS. Congratulations. Your reading and comprehension of the 2nd Amendment has just assured you the support of the gun grabbing lobby for a seat on the SCOTUS.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the peopleState to keep and bare Arms, shall not be infringed.

See how silly that looks? The government guarantees itself that its military can bare arms? What a joke.

It's always discouraging to see the result of an "education" provided by the GOVERNMENT schools....

It GOOD that folks like this, DON'T arm themselves......they would be dangerous to themselves and others..

Semper Fi

...and good on the Gov for reversing the orders to disarm them

I hadn't heard that. When did that happen?
