Stocking Stuffers

Was someone young and reckless or getting in some practice/early start????

You decide.

A statement issued by the Utah County Sheriff's Office said a US Forest Service officer discovered the two booby traps inside a makeshift shelter built from dead tree limbs while on foot patrol along the Big Springs walking trail April 16.

Danger Will Robinson !!!!

My wife and I teach the high school Sunday School class at our church.  This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to weave our cause into the lesson.

The lesson was about choosing to stand with God and the passage was Exodus 32:25-32.  In this Moses was coming down after being on the mountain with God.  As he came into camp, there was Aaron and the other Israelites dancing around with the golden calf.

Moses chastised Aaron for succumbing evils of idolatry.  Moses was going through the camp in a rage.  He took the golden calf, burnt it, ground it to dust and made the children if Israel drink it.

This wasn’t enough to sway the shameful ways of the people.

Moses shouted, “WHOEVER IS ON THE SIDE OF THE LORD, LET HIM COME TO ME”.

Levi and all his sons came to stand with Moses.  They then put on their swords and slew every brother, companion and neighbor, totaling 3000.

We are at that point in this nation.

We are a nation of false idols.  Look at the kids.  All they want is the newest, fastest, biggest screen phone, tablet, etc, etc, etc.

They have not a care about anyone or anything else other than themselves.

So I asked the kids in the class if they knew of someone taking a stand.  They all shook their heads no.

So, I asked them about a stand that a small group of people took 237 years ago.  Again, none knew.

So I explained about their  fight for freedom.  The stand that these patriots took against an oppressive government.  Just like the Israelites did when Moses led them out of Egypt.

 I then wound this into the Civil war and how the South was taking a stand against the oppressive Yankee regime located in the swamps of the Potomac.

I asked what they thought about someone searching their homes, cars, bags on a bus with no reason.  They all said no.  “Would you take a stand for the 4^th Amendment”, I asked.  None knew what that was.

I explained the first five amendments to them.  What they were, how they protected us.  How they were being slowly eroded away.  Just like our Faith is being done.

They had questions of how can they do this, why, someone should do something.

I said that unless someone took a stand, they were going to be just like the Israelites were in worshipping the golden calf.

All it takes is for one person to stand against.  Just like David did against Goliath.  One small boy took down a fierce warrior that everyone feared.

I saw sparks in their eyes.  A slow awakening to my message.

Will they become fully awake?  I don’t know.  But I will not stop from striking the fire starter.  I hope that given enough spark, the tinder will catch and they too will have the fire that we do

I struggled for a title to this post.  The only image that danced behind my eyes was the robot from Lost in Space racing around, arms flapping, yelling “DANGER WILL ROBINSON”.

That is us….

Will enough people hear it?

Mass Hysteria Will Soon Follow-updated

Update:  KD has a post up that will drive them batshit crazy when it comes to fruition

Not only is that damage consistent with the claim that Zimmerman was having his head bashed against the concrete sidewalk but two other things came out of the interview linked above that are of great importance to the development of facts surrounding that night -- the embedded data in the image file has a time stamp off the cell tower (it was an iPhone 4s) and geotag information from the phone's GPS matches the location. There's a high probability that photograph and the tags embedded in it will be deemed admissible evidence.
Finally the witness said that there were visible powder burns on Martin's clothing (one of the questions I had originally as their presence would be expected given Zimmerman's narrative of what happened.)

If this all holds up it's pretty clear that the legal standard of objectively reasonable fear of great bodily injury or death was met for Zimmerman, and if so the shooting was justified -- period.

The outrage and violence will be just short of the LA riots.  They want to save that for something special....


Like Zimmerman being found Not Guilty or the charges being dismissed.

George Zimmerman granted $150K bond

Judge Kenneth Lester said Zimmerman's bond will be set at $150,000. He will be placed on GPS monitoring, and will not be released from custody today.

Here’s what the over-zelous prosecutor wanted:

The state’s attorney is now making a case against leniency when it comes to the bond decision, and has asked for no bond, or a bond of $1 million.
The state’s attorney argued that Zimmerman is a danger to the public, citing not only the second-degree murder charge, but a previous charge of battery against a law enforcement officer, which was discussed at length earlier in the hearing.

I am a Southerner...

I am a Southerner...
I won't apologize
I won't be reconstructed.
I will not surrender
My identity, my heritage.
I believe in the Constitution,
In States' Rights,
That the government should be the
Servant, not the Master of the people.
I believe in the right to bear arms,
The right to be left alone.


I am a Southerner...
The Spirit of my Confederate ancestor
Boils in my blood.
He fought
Not for what he thought was right,
But for what was right.
Not for slavery,
But to resist tyranny, Machiavellian laws,
Oppressive taxation, invasion of his land,
For the right to be left alone.


I am a Southerner.
A rebel,
Seldom Politically Correct,
At times belligerent.
I don't like Lincoln, Grant, Sherman,
Or modern neocon politicians like them.


I like hunting and fishing, Leonard Skynyrd,
The Bonnie Blue and Dixie.
I still believe in chivalry and civility.


I am a face in the Southern collage of
Gentlemen and Scholars, belles and writers,
Soldiers and sharecroppers, Cajuns and Creoles,
Tejanos and Islenos, Celts and Germans,
Gullah and Geechi, freedmen and slaves,
We are ALL the South.


The South...my home, my beautiful home,
My culture, my destiny, my heart.
I am a Southerner.

Rebellion runs strong in our veins

Don't let the blood of our forefathers be in vain.

2 Lufkin dental employees charged with stealing tooth gold

Times is hard.

Lufkin Police have arrested two dental employees accused of stealing dental gold from their employers and selling it to gold buyers.

The buyer said, "This gold was unlike the previous dental gold that we had previously purchased. The previous gold had been separated from the porcelain and this gold had not. There was a particular piece that still had a tooth in it. The tooth still had blood on it."

Bacon on the Hoof

Feral hogs are a menacing problem across Texas, and the folks at Wulf Outdoor Sports are making an organized effort to do something about it. The company’s 2nd Annual Wild Hog Round-Up set for April 11-21 is offering big prize money to registered contestants who remove the most and biggest hogs in a 20-county area across East Texas.

Wulf Sports Wild Hog Roundup.

The only thing missing is a smoker going at the weigh in's.

Last year they removed 700+ hogs on this contest.  With the spring rains that we have had, it's gonna be a bumper crop of hogs this year.

Main prize is $10k

The pig problem here in East Texas and through out the state is bad.  Last year alone they did $400M in damages to property.

The city of Center, Tx has ponied up $5k to whoever kills the most pigs in Shelby county.

Here is the score so far as of this morning.
