Quote:  ”Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism means peace and tranquility to all.” –August Spies, Haymarket anarchist

News:

• Note:  Though I can sympathize with their frustrations, I do not condone or support any of these tactics. Around the country we are hearing reports of legislator’s offices being vandalized, mysterious substances being sent, and in one instance, a coffin on the lawn (I admire the creativity).  People are getting fed up.  I do not expect this to be the end of ‘attacks’.  Sooner or later things are going to be escalated by one side or another; when that happens you must have a plan.  Do not get caught in a situation that can get out of control, and never underestimate the power and fury of the mob.
• Speaking of mobs, Philadelphia has recently been the scene of the latest trend, flash mob meets ghetto fights.
• The president has triple-dog ‘dared’ Republicans to try and repeal the new health care law, citing the usual rhetoric.
• Though the Congressional Budget Office didn’t expect this to happen till 2016, this year the payout of Social Security benefits will exceed the amount that is paid into the system.  Yet another sign that the system is broken, seemingly beyond repair.
• Nothing surprises me anymore.  MSNBC’s Ed Schultz is calling for government takeover of the airwaves, specifically talk radio.  I may not be a Rush fan, but I still support the 1st Amendment.

Check this out:

• Everyone, on one level or another has heard of the Glock ‘torture test’.  I must say, this one takes the cake.  After reading all of the things that this fella’ has done to his pistol (cringing every moment of the way), I am once again proud to say, “I shoot Glock.”
• I’ll add this to my ’24-hours left to live bucket list’.  They are both either, completely insane or have cojones ferreas.
• The Colonel sent us this video demonstrating the effectiveness of many different types of shotgun ammunition.  I think my favorites are the flechette rounds and the ‘string buck’.
