My duty is to try and educate and keep people from passing stupid laws that restrict freedom for no good reason.
33 states do not restrict private, intrastate sales of firearms at gun shows in any manner. Perhaps 90% of the people are right and you are wrong.

Figuring out how to stop guns from getting into the hands of criminals and the mentality ill is part of that prevention. It will never be 100% but it can be reduced.
Well then let’s end the discussion on a point of agreement there. That’s what needs to happen.

well godless, as Clinton said, It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again
Figuring out how to stop guns from getting into the hands of criminals and the mentality ill is part of that prevention. It will never be 100% but it can be reduced.
Yes it can be done without taking the rights away from law abiding citizens or “infringing” (undue burdensome legislation) on citizens rights to keep and bear arms. It is called enforcement of current laws on the books for criminals caught with a gun or the mentally ill that should not own a gun. I can agree with making the penalties so harsh on these violators that they would run if they saw a gun.

Women , the vast majority, 99%, do not have the physical strength required to be in front line combat positions! They have to be able to move heavy equipment, and, they have to be able to carry a fellow soldier to safety! MOST CANNOT AND THEREFORE THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THESE POSITIONS! And even the thought of considering them for special forces like Delta, or, SEALS is absurd!

Politically Incorrect Comment. Proceed at Your Own Risk:
No question that women can fight, and fight well, in combat – they have proven that they can. As a matter of biological fact, women, by and large, do not have the same brute strength that men have. Or course, there are exceptions to the rule. But, on the whole, men are typically physically stronger than women and can over power them in physical contests — such as hand to hand combat. This is why that in all sports, amateur, professional, and even the politically correct to a “T” Olympics, there are stll men’s and women’s divisions in most competitions.
But despite all of the above, advances in modern weapons technology, advances in physical training, and specifically tailored combat assignments that are not totally dependent on brute strength can help to alleviate the risks . . . to the women.
Here’s the tough part (big gulp, and mea culpa), women in combat fighting next to men endanger men who fight next to them. There, I’ve said it. Yes, I must be a huge male chauvenist pig from Hell, totally dedicated to holding women back, cheating them out of their rightful pay for equal work, demeaning them and sexually harrassing them at every opportunity, and helping the Pub/Cons wage their secret war on women — even if it hurts my three daughters. As my wife sometimes says . . . “fine” . . . uh-oh.
Time for complete and total blasphemy. May NOW forgive me for what I am about to say. Men and women have different ‘hard wiring” that is not based on “learned behavior.” Okay, I must also be a religious nut too. Men do things that women don’t do, and women do things that men don’t do, and it because of their gender, sexual instincts, sexualty, and there hard wired reproductive sexual behavior. I know, I’m going to Hell for this, but nothing I have ever seen in my long life has refuted this. Men in combat will do things for women in severe danger that they will not do for other men. They will take their eye off of the ball, so to speak, to protect the women fighting around them. When women are killed, they will stop and weep over them, because they failed to protect them. Male soldiers don’t want to do that, they are trained not to do it, and they know it puts their own lives in danger . . . but for reasons they may not totally understand, they ignore their training and will to live, and they do. It goes way back to our creation and primeval insticnts and primeval times, our hard wiring — men providing protection, hunting, gathering and providing, and women buildiing the nest, birthing, rearing, and protecting the young and the species — both genders willing to sacrifice their lives.
That is why women should not be side to side with men in combat.

I would want Hillary in my foxhole as a human shield or to push in front of me when the action got heated. Seriously, how much more stupid can PC liberals be? Men have 3 times the physical strength of women and 20% faster reaction time on average. Tell me I’m bigoted if you want, but I don’t see any female NBA or NFL players. Call it sexist if you want, but a woman has no chance in close quarters hand-to-hand combat or a hot fire fight. Camraderie and bonding are also indispensible to military platoons and I promise that women will never be accepted into a male fraternity, which ultimately weakens the unit.

Why feel guilty or apologize for stating the facts as they are guitarman? Men and women are NOT created the same way and there are biological reasons for that which can’t be argued. Women are designed by nature to value safety and protection and survival so that they can rear offspring and maximize their survival. Estrogen, progesterone, oxytocin, and other hormones make sure of that. Men are hard-wired for risk-taking and dominant behaviors that ensure their genes are passed on at any cost. Testosterone makes sure this happens. Women don’t belong on the front line of a war anymore than men belong being midwives.

Those documents DID somehow turn up in the White house which is a LONG way from Arkansas. But on a scale of 1-10 as far as “corruption’ is concerned, I’d give that one a 2 maybe a 3 and it’s such old hat as to be meaningless any more.

Well I’m off to make some salmon patties on English muffins for the Mrs. before I send her off to Nashville to school. I made the mistake one time of making salmon patties out of fresh salmon because I made too much salmon. Now I can’t use the canned stuff any more. Whenever I get salmon to grill I get extra and put it on the egg after I take the other off, I add more wood chips and lower the heat and smoke it for salmon patties……….. yum. Plus i can’t think of too much that is unhealthy about it………….

All I know about women in combat is, it’s got to be better than what we’ve had. Which is, they always before put a woman in uniform so they could put some poor man that was happy to be serving 100 miles from the fighting right on the front lines to get his a$$ shot off. And if he survived that they sent him home so he could marry some woman that would make him wish he had got his a$$ shot off instead.

U.S. Catholic bishops review lawsuit saying fetuses not people
Loading… Share No Thanks Must Read?Thank YouYes 14 Email Story Print By Keith Coffman, Reuters
6 hours ago
DENVER — Three Colorado bishops said on Thursday they will review a Catholic Church hospital’s defense of a lawsuit that argues fetuses do not have legal status – apparently contradicting the Church’s teaching on life issues.
The case stems from a malpractice and wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jeremy Stodghill in the 2006 death of his seven-month pregnant wife Lori at a Catholic hospital in Canon City, Colorado. Her twin fetuses also died.
Stodghill filed the suit against Colorado-based Catholic Health Initiatives, which operates hospitals in 14 states, claiming physicians made no effort to save the fetuses by performing a cesarean section.
In its defense, counsel for the hospital said that under Colorado law, a fetus is not a person and that the twins likely would not have survived even with an emergency C-section.
In a letter, Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila, Colorado Springs Bishop Michael Sheridan and Pueblo Bishop Fernando Isern said that Catholic institutions had “a duty to protect and foster human life”, which they said begins at conception.
“No Catholic institution may legitimately work to undermine fundamental human dignity,” the statement said.
The bishops said that they would carry out a “full review of this litigation and of the policies and practices … to ensure fidelity and faithful witness to the teachings of the Catholic Church.”
Two lower courts sided with the hospital group, and Stodghill has appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court, which has not yet decided if it will hear the case.

The truth of the matter is not many will sign up for actual combat according to studies and the ones that do have at it. We have not been very effective in our engagements for quit a while, now we can share the blame with the whole population not save it for a few.
