I “cleaned” my garage. Look at the pictures. (Note: These are the AFTER-CLEANING pictures) It was bad before….

I also added a flag onto my garage door. Video attached

Holder talks right from the Brady Campaign Webpage

A.G. Holder, who voted against lifting the DC Gun Ban, talked to the press about reinstating the “Assault” weapons ban from the Clinton Era. This made Speaker Pelosi -D CA cringe and say that the democrats won’t support it. Holder’s reasons this time included helping stopping guns going into Mexico for their drug war.

Tell me this, how does every US citizen not having the right to buy a Semi-Automatic AR-15 Rifle cause more Fully-Automatic M-16’s and grenade launchers to be used in the Mexican conflict? The weapons encountered on the border are not the one’s that this ban would cover, they are already banned!

Then number of “assault” rifles that were used in crimes is insignificant compared to other firearms. All gun crime pales in comparison to the number of crimes stopped via private citizens with guns.

A ban on these semi-automatic (means it shoots 1 bullet with every trigger pull, like the gun I am packing right now) weapons is more comparable to a ban on ATV’s or JetSki’s. They are both used for recreation and sport. Well, actually ATV’s (which are not designed to “assault”) cause more deaths than assault weapons.

I suppose I am going to go buy me one as soon as I can….. (This post is very poorly written)

My Mom asked me the other day if I considered myself a Libertarian or what? 

First of all, I am a huge non-supporter of the “party system” especially a two party system.  Political parties have too large of a influence over a Representative’s voting.  Their #1 worry should be keeping their voters happy and not walking a party line. 

Democrats and Republicans (this is a very broad stroke), for the most part, are both taking “We the People” to hell in a hand basket.  They both do it at different speeds and different ways.  Lately, there are very few of them that actually want to make the government “smaller” or “get back to basics”.  They are both about taking away certain rights or voting tax dollars to their constituents.  I think progress is nothing being done by the Federal government.

I am anti-abortion, but I think it is a moral problem not a legality problem.  That being said, when abortions were legalized, the birth rate did not lessen.  It just encouraged more people to exercise less care.

I am pro-Bill of Rights.  Freedom of the press and media is being attacked by both parties at different fronts.  Protection of speech is also dying on the table.  Both parties to a horrible job at upholding the 2nd.  Why are not democrats pro-choice about guns?    And I think that income taxes are a giant fraud.  Freedom of person and property is also dying on the floor.   The Federal Reserve is a huge problem.  Nearly every president who were anti “central bank” were assassinated.   (another post for another day)  I think that the Right to Vote should only be given to those who own property (this can include any race and sex).     blah blah blah….

I am also Pro-Legal-Immigration.  If we turned back to basics and the Fed and State stopped the Paternal care, then the only immigrant who would have incentive to come would be to contribute.  I think that welfare Americans need to get that same spirit as well.  This IS the land of Oppertunity, and should not be the land of welfare.  I think that a physical “fence on the border” is a horrible idea.  It is a political boundary.  Free poeple are not surrounded by fences, because they can keep us in too.

Charity is a private action.  Government Charity is not charity, it is “Robin Hood” robbery.  It is voting money from the treasury.  Let those American who are religous exercise their duty to “give” to the poor, not be “taxed” for the whoever.

If I had to be put into one box, I would feel most happy in the “Constitutionalist” box.   (Yes, I love Ron Paul too). 

I think that most our problems have come from the “People” becoming immoral, complacent, greedy, etc, and “Government” becoming too paternal, irresponsible, and large.  I think both these problems can be solved by a return to the fundamentals that the country was based on.

Thanks for the encouragement.  I jumped and killed my Vista Install (after backing up)

Well, HP provides NO drivers for my laptop for XP, just Vista (32 and 64).  SO I ended up finding the Nvidia drivers needed for my Video and Chipset.  The sound, wifi, webcam, bluetooth, HDMI, were all dead.  Hmmmmm.   I need to try to round up some XP drivers for all my hardware.  Talk about pain in the neck.

So I re-ghosted my harddrive back to vista.  Then it would not boot (some error with a file) so I ended up running the restore.  No did Vista know it had been ghosted?  Weird, the harddrive should have been exact bit for bit.

In conclusion, drivers are the issue here, but the lack of drivers is for XP.  I think I’d still prefer XP, but Vista will have to work for now.  Maybe I need to just run MS Dos 6.22

Okay, my older laptop is officially on my hate list as of Friday last week.  Saturday I picked up a new HP Laptop from Sams Club.  (AMD 64bit Dual 2.1ghz, 3Gb Ram, Nvidia) 

Here is my conflict.  It has Vista Home Premium (32 Bit).  It seems slow (my pref rating is 3.9 due to graphics and would be 4.8ish)  I also don’t like how Vista does things.  I prefer the older file/program structure.  I also am having issues with running my old programs. 

MY POINT:  Unless someone intervenes by Wednesday, vista is getting the axe and XP Pro is taking it’s place.   Anybody disagree with a “Capitol F-Disk?”

Someone better talk me off this ledge……..

This is a very good piece:
