The Roar of Liberty

Craig commented in this post and my reply sparked this line of thought.


How many of you have been outside on a hot summer night and one cicada starts up soon more join in.

Or at a NFL game, same scenario.  A big play happens and what follows?


The crowd screams & roars.


That is Liberty.


Each of us are free men & free women.  We are slaves to no one.


Our song of Liberty and Freedom are but faint whispers in the wind.


As more join the singing the volume will swell.


We will be a mighty lion.

The enemy will hear our roar and fear us.

We are a nation in search of Patrick Henry

Enola has a very good post on the subject of being enslaved by our doings..

My heart fails me.  I long for great men to rise from our rubble, proclaiming truth and liberty in the humble hamlets, villages and towns of our countryside and in the hallowed halls of our vast cities.  Not only would their words ring strong and true, they would risk their fortunes, their reputations and their lives to ensure true liberty.  They would stand - and in the process, they would direct the course of nations.

I am in search of Patrick Henry.  I am looking for the strength of character that forced men to stand before evil knowing it could cost them everything.  I am looking for a leader who's faith in our people and our God far outweighs his own selfish desire for power and glory.  I am looking for a man to stay the course in spite of supreme opposition.  I am looking for one who will stand and say, "It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.  Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace - but there is no peace.  The war is actually begun.  The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms.  Our brethren are already in the field.  Why stand we here idle?  What is it that gentlemen wish?  What would they have?  Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains or slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry)

We are a nation in search of Patrick Henry.

Giving Somebody the Finger

This is just to good to pass up.

JACKSON, Mich. -- A Michigan teen finishing off an Arby’s roast beef sandwich chomped down on something tough that tasted like rubber, so he spit it out.
Turns out it tasted like finger. The fleshy, severed pad of an unfortunate employee’s finger, apparently.
Ryan Hart, 14, told the Jackson Citizen Patriot on Wednesday that once he got a good look at it, he knew right away what had been in the junior roast beef sandwich he was eating last Friday.
"I was like, ‘That (has) to be a finger,"’ Hart said. "I was about to puke. ... It was just nasty."
The employee apparently cut her finger on a meat slicer and left her station without immediately telling anyone, said Steve Hall, the environmental health director for the Jackson County health department. Her co-workers continued filling orders until they found out what had happened, he said.

Old Memories

How many of us remember riding in one of these.  My parents had this exact model.

Riding in the very back was the seat we fought over.


The window down, the exhaust being sucked in.  

That was to fun life.

Or this...Riding on the back dash of the car.

We had a '74 Delta 88.  Man I could lay full out on that.


No seat belts.  

My dad had a '76 El Camino that the 5 of us used to ride in.  

Hell he used to put a camper shell on it, take out the back glass and we would take family vacations.  Us kids would ride in the bed.  The only thing we worried about was hitting our heads on the camper top roof and having to pee in a cup cause dad didn't want to stop.


So I saw this pic on the UK Daily Mail and it brought back a lot of old & good memories.

The little things

It's the little things that will bite you in the ass.

Regal Entertainment is no friend of Liberty

If anyone has a theater in their area, they may want to think twice about using their facilities.


This comes via TTAG.  A theater that they own in Indiana refused to let someone open carry in the theater.


The corp hack appears to parrot the Brady Kool-aid clan

Two weekends ago I attended a showing of The Avengers at the Regal Shiloh Crossing Stadium 18 in Avon, Indiana. I’d open carried at this theater several times with no problem. When I went to buy a ticket at the window the ticket taker asked me to leave my weapon in my car. He made this “suggestion” over the microphone in front of about fifty people. I asked to speak to a manager, who confirmed that this was the theater’s policy.  So I called their corporate offices to make double sure that this was indeed their position . . .

I had a lengthy, cordial and somewhat strange conversation with a gentleman at the corporate offices.  I would be hard-pressed to relay the conversation other than to note that his impression of legal firearm owners was exceedingly poor. I would imagine most of his information came from a source indistinguishable from The Brady Campaign.

When I suggested that he was missing out on making his theaters safer by allowing legal firearm owners to carry he made several disparaging ‘gun toting yahoo’ type remarks and insisted that allowing guns in the theater would keep the theater from being a ‘family friendly’ environment.

If anyone feels compelled to let them know how you feel.

Run Like the Wind

The other day the banks in Greece had a run. 


Today it seems the "los ciudadanos" want to do the same.


Not everyone is going to be OK in this run with the bulls.
