Lee Enfield Rifles

Tuesday, June 15th, 2004

In researching my newest family members, and members to be acquired in coming days, I have come across a few resources of interest. Lee-Enfield Rifle Research S.M.L.E. Parts Page The Lee Enfield Rifle Site (and mirror) As for what I’m planning to add to my collection, that’s still a bit up in the air. It [...]

Iran Preparing to Invade Iraq

Tuesday, June 15th, 2004

I’d say 4 battalions should do it though not until we’ve pulled our troops out. It is in not only the US’s best interests, but the best interests of Iraq and potentially the world to squish the Iranian threat quickly and decisively. I’m waiting to see how long before Iran claims the “troops are there [...]

Compulsory Registration

On the heels on my short rant on newspaper websites requiring registration someone points out BugMeNot.com.

Reaganism isn’t Genetic

Tuesday, June 15th, 2004

Ron Jr., Patti Davis and even Nancy have been vocal over their opposition to their Father’s politics. I guess I should be grateful that they waited until after President Reagan’s passing before they try to use his name to twist things into their own political image. Then there is Michael Reagan, proof that Right thinking [...]

John Kerry Supports Beams Weapons

Monday, June 14th, 2004

I find it deliciously ironic that John Kerry supports non-lethal particle beam weapons for “winning the peace” and “stability operations”. The article also cites the weapon’s potential use for putting down protestors…. What disturbs me is the potential of this weapon as a tool of tyranny. It’s not good publicity to outright kill ones opponents [...]

Nancy’s Call For Stem Cell Research

Monday, June 14th, 2004

With all due respect to Mrs. Reagan, has she already forgotten President Reagan’s strong stance against abortion? While Senators pile onto the stem cell research cause as a way to put it to President Bush, Mrs. Reagan needs to stop and rethink what she, in her grief, is asking for. If stem cell research had [...]

Branson sets cross-Channel record

Monday, June 14th, 2004

It isn’t too common for me to get excited or be impressed with so-called alternative vehicles. But the Aquada which set a cross-Channel speed of 1 hour, 40 minutes is a slick looking toy with real, pratical applications in some areas of the world. Of course dumping the roadway for the water would open up [...]

Reagan on the Flag

Monday, June 14th, 2004

“It was leadership here at home that gave us strong American influence abroad, and the collapse of imperial Communism. Great nations have responsibilities to lead, and we should always be cautious of those who would lower our profile, because they might just wind up lowering our flag.” –Ronald Reagan (1994)

Clinton Portrait

Monday, June 14th, 2004

In this campaign season I think that President Bush’s gracious handling of the unveiling of President Clinton’s portrait is a testimony to the worth of President Bush as a man and as the sitting President that surpasses 1000 campaign commercials. It is my hope that it will be many many years before we find out [...]

&8216;Fahrenheit 9/11 R Rated

Monday, June 14th, 2004

Michael Moore is &8216;Fahrenheit 9/11′s R rating, trying for PG13. I can imagine Moore’s appoplexy over requiring teens to be accompanied by an adult to see this film. I’m not sure which scares him more, that the accompaning adult might recognize the wholesale liberties Moore has taken with the truth or that no reasonable adult [...]
