What will they attack next.?Nice dress shops because western fashion offends the “religious” values of men who want their hags in bags. Eventually, if not STOPPED in their tracks they will completely obliterate every wonderful thing in the world except the backward was of their own hideous screed.

At the risk of beating the drum repeatedly, I would like to remind people that what we are seeing is the difference between the concept of civil rights—protection from the government by the “negative rights” our President dislikes—and the concept of “human rights,” which are the so-called “positive rights” which he favors.
However, those so-called “positive rights” are the antithesis of the concept of liberty protected by civil rights, as they are in effect special rights granted as a favor (or withheld) by the government.

I used to have one—have no idea what became of it—that I had filed to the point where it locked open with a very slight snap of the wrist. I always thought they were kind of elegant, in a retro way, but I suspect they are probably of relatively poor quality.

That wasn’t exactly what I was referring to; I was referencing, more, the “human rights” mindset of the Muslims who “don’t want to be offended” by a nearby bar, and the right of the bar owners to tell them to piss off, in the previous thread.
However, the government getting into the business of decreeing what is or is not a “benefit,” which you mention, is another aspect of the problem of creeping “human rights” thought. I can understand—-could even support, in theory, in the abstract—the concept of the government providing health insurance for those who can prove themselves unable to obtain it for themselves. But we have that; it’s called “Medicaid,” last I looked—and it’s on the verge of bankruptcy.
The government taking it upon itself to force people to make decisions that they may not want to make is a complete changeover to the “human rights” view that rights come from the government, and that we therefore owe duties to the government.

I collect switchblades. I’ve got, I don’t know 6-7 of them. I have two very nice Italian ones that I imported as camping tools. I bought both of them here. The two I have are high end, with damascus blades (which they don’t sell anymore). I have a Smith and Wesson one that I bought at a show. Technically, only police, fire department, military, etc. can legally buy them. This one, well, a cop at the show bought it with mooney I gave him, and he gave me the knife. I couldn’t buy it, but he could give it to me. Hokey, I know
My favorite is a CRKT Pharaoh. It is a big knife with a truly wicked blade.
Technically, like I said, switchblades are restricted. How restricted, though, depends on the state and local laws, and the whim of any cop that catches you with one. In California you can carry any knife as long as the blade is under 2″, including switchblades. I’ve got a little one I bought out there as a carry knife while I was in California. Here, the blade has to be under 4″, but carrying a switchblade is a feloney. However, you are allowed to have them as a collector.
They can get quite pricey. I want to get a Microtech out-the-front knife, but they are in the $300-400 range. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

OK, I’ve got a question for you folks. With all the media that’s out there, how do you determine who’s writing stuff that is more fact-based information as opposed to just the opinion of the writer/tv station/paper? Is there ANY info presented by the media today that is unbiased and straight facts, in your opinion? It seems almost everybody has their own slant. Is there anywhere where one can get unadulterated information on the goings-on of our country and the world? Just curious where most of you get your info to base your opinions and (political) beliefs on…

Thanks. I wish I could remember what became of that old knife of mine; it was a purchase at some pawnshop or military surplus place back in the days when the government was not busy protecting us from every single aspect of our thoughts. Kinda big; the blade was five or six inches, with the little cross-guard. An afternoon’s work with a file made it open really nicely.

I was amazed that not everybody thought as I did that it would be turned against “folks”
Sure enough, regular folks are now referred to as “right-wing extremists” Infuriating.
So I backed out again.
Look in every few days, but I have no time for 1000 post threads ( got work to do)
So the other day I was fidgity. Went and argued about AGW with that Quixote fellow.
I saw that there was a chill in the air and few familiar nics, So I started poking around.
Saw the posts where (former) fearless leader really didn’t seem to get it about the Holdren report or The Anita Dunn thing. And the whole AGW deal, and “wingnuts” .
Looked at ACE, and several others, and tried to get a handle on what might be behind whatever.
The entire thing is topsy turvy.
Then I saw “the list”. Aha…
Names on that list and some searches to see their last posts ( cept for Buzz he been nuked) really convinced me that there s a tightrope I do not care to walk. A club I do not want to be part of that badly.
So I figgerd I’d jump first.

@ savages_girl:
That’s a hard question. One thing you can count on with the media is that you are not getting the whole story. Never, not ever. Part of that is simply time constraints. They have 30 seconds to a minute on TV, and only a few inches of print for print media. E-media has fewer excuses as bandwidth is cheap.
But the media have their agenda. It is up to you to see through the slant and get something to base your positions on. Read. A lot. The more you know, the more you can see the pieces that the MSM leave missing. Take the Palestinian Question.
Hold right there. What stands out about that sentance? What biases does it expose? Does it indicate what kind of slant I might put on a discussion of the “Palestinian Question”? Note the words chosen. You may remember that the Nazis program of extermination was called the Final Solution to the “Jewish Question”.
See what I mean? My choice of words screams my strong, strong support of Israel and a very hard line towards the Palestinians. Watch for clues like that. They are almost always there, kind of like flaws and inclusions in real diamonds.
@ jimash:
You made the right decision.
I think it’s fairly easy to tell fact from opinion. I read a story today: “Louisville, Kentucky, police released two Chicago men of Palestinian descent from jail when the white powder found in their car turned out to be dried yogurt, which is common in Middle East countries. The men had told police for two days that’s what it was.”
The facts of the story are that the police found white powder, checked to see if it was something illegal, and after the tests cleared it, released the suspects. Sounds reasonable. The opinion is wrapped up in the way it is written: those yokel Kentuckian Barney-Fife police don’t even know Middle Eastern food, because they’re such yokels you see. And probably racists, who stubbornly didn’t just take the suspects’ word for it.

@ Silhouette:
Fair comment. I’m an expat. Came to Wisconsin about three years ago on a pipeline project and settled in. In Western Wisconsin the Packers Vikings game is a BIG deal, believe me. You won’t see much football up here if you wait around for Dallas to be televised. That’s OK though. I’ve always liked the Steelers going all the way back to Bradshaw and they’re on quite a bit, and I can always watch Adrian Peterson play ball on Sundays.
@ Iron Fist:

Well put…
@ jimash:
Well, LGF is much better now. No more 1000+ post threads. Not even close.
Is anybody else getting a slow response time when they hit “submit comment” or is it just me?
@ buzzsawmonkey:
Yeah, well you’re right. You are frequently right and very literate . Value formerly added is now conspicuously absent.
Goes for all of you.

Well, like you say, it’s just a new theme – a sideways move. Everyone’s got their own aesthetics. I don’t see any new functionality that wasn’t already there in the old theme that wasn’t just turned off to mitigate unresponsiveness. Absent a dedicated $erver, I’d opt for spartan/responsive vs., e.g., embedded youtube vids. Not sure why we had to roll our own theme (and then the on-going debug), there’s approximately a zillion+1 WS themes already out there.
Things to fix: comment numbers in replied-to/quoted comments, jump-to-bottom works only when logged in, Opera barfs on this thread (i’m guessing bad html vs. bad opera).
Things to add: Non-fixed-width comment column would be nice – way too much wasted space IMO; more markup options (e.g. AoS subscript, superscript, foreground color, background color, underline, special chars) would add readability (five minutes editing kses.php could effect that).
Non-trivial things to add: Comment preview, AJAXified new comments, searchable comments/users, etc.
Just trying to be honest…
Tomorrow, with any luck.

Cool! Pro-tech makes some pretty, high-end blades. I saw a really neat one on a custom maker’s site a few weeks ago, but I don’t remember which one. It was a $2000+ jewel with mammoth Ivory scales. Pretty…
The new site looks great. How is everyone this evening?

It’s a love/hate thing and it depends on who you ask. I’m kind of on the outside looking in and have to admit I really like the Vikings, though if I admitted that in your average Wisconsin beer joint I’d probably get my ass kicked pretty quick. But damn, Favre’s passing game combined with AD’s running game is fun to watch.
Values like murdering your daughter.

The Nancy and Harry show directed by Obamama are going to do the Healthless Bull Bill via the 51 vote Senate realcommie deal Friday late.
whats up with the slow load?
Hey DG!!!
Is there a way to refresh comments? When I use the IE refresh I get kicked out a lot.

Everyone – I’m collecting Killgore’s food tips and book recommendations, and putting them at the cookbook blog. Click my nic to get to the blog – you can click the “Killgore’s Gardening Tips” in the right hand column to see just Killgore’s recommendations.
And while you’re there, check out Volume 1 of the cookbook!
Copies still available! Worth the price for Jaunte’s art, if nothing else.
And we’ll include a free sham-wow and and snuggie! Not.

Um, what are they going to do with all of the recipes submitted by the banshees?

Notes Left Behind is the true story of a six-year-old girl named Elena and her battle against brain cancer. In her last days she showed a community how to love and how to live. Written through the eyes of her parents, Keith and Brooke Desserich, as a remembrance for Elena’s younger sister, her daily story tells one of humility and inspiration as she lives each day, one at a time. In her short time she painted a masterpiece that would hang in an art museum, she accomplished a truly spectacular series of wishes that she alone created, and she inspired a cause that remains today to help children everywhere in their fight against brain cancer.

Glad someone else noticed. I thought I was talking to myself lol.
Don’t want to influence your vote (well I do lol) but certainly don’t want you to be pressured.
I also ask that you vote for Christie.
And you are right, the blog over there changes when daddy isn’t there. It’s almost as if ….horrors!!…they actually think about things instead of just parroting cj’s talking points.

That uptick is still a record low except for the preceding day
Hallelujah. The smileys come out where you put ‘em now.
Anyhow,
Good nite.
I will seriously consider changing from Dagget to Christie.
Meantime I have a DVD to mux.
Three Scotswomen are walking home at night (they are neighbors) and find a Scotsman passed out partially under a wagon. His upper body is under the wagon and they can’t see who he is; however, they would like to help him get home.
The first woman looks under his kilt and says, “It’s not my husband”.
The second woman looks under his kilt and says, It’s not my husband”.
The third woman looks under his kilt and says, “Why he’s not even from our village!”

Dunno about that Gravatar that Wrath is using. You’re really taking big risks using images of Muhammed like that.
Am I using the Profit Al-Gore’s image in vain?
@ Moe Katz:
How are you doing tonight, Moe?
@ Eliana:
Still got the heavy cold, better than yesterday but not the rapid recovery of a normal cold. I do have some frozen chicken soup in the freezer, real stuff used to cook chicken, that might be nice to heat up.
So how are you?
@ snork:
Or maybe when they just plain out-do themselves in stupidity, more people go to see if it’s true? That would be my guess.

Seriously, I’m wondering about Wrath’s avatar. If that’s supposed to be Hashem, that’s a no-no.
@ Moe Katz:
Glad to hear you’re doing a bit better! Chicken soup has been scientifically proven to help. Something about the combination of ingredients, I guess.
I’m doing fine. I’m going insane with Wordpress Plugin mania, but otherwise, I’m ok.

Well, he’s like the powerful kid in the Twilight Zone episode who has people agreeing with him all day every day so that they won’t be put into the cornfield.
When the kid is away, people breathe sighs of relief and actually talk to each other about issues (at least more than they do when the kid is there threatening to put them in the cornfield if they blink).
“It’s GOOD that you scream ‘GET OFF MY BLOG!’ every time someone disagrees with you, Charles. It’s GOOD.”

Actually, chicken soup has been studied!!

Sometimes scientists have too much time on their hands, but that’s ok.

If you remember that first 1.0 spoof thread, there was a conspiracy of Big Chicken. Are you sure this isn’t research by a Big Chicken front group?

Well, if that doesn’t define “cult,” I don’t know what does… I’d swear I posted my Pirate’s House ( Savannah ) recipe for peanut butter pie ATS ( Across The Street ) long ago, so if the Crazy Guy nuked it, he it is again:Peanut Butter Pie
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese ( softened )
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup condensed ( evaporated ) milk
1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed ( dream whip, Kool whip )
2 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crusts
Directions
1 Beat together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar. Mix in peanut butter and milk. Beat until smooth. Fold in dessert topping.
2 Spoon into 2- 9 inch graham cracker pie shells, cover and chill. Just BTW, and FWIW- your format doesn’t have a “notify” feature like most of the places I hang around, so if you have “spoken” to me and I have not acknowledged it, I’m not ignoring you, I just haven’t “heard” you…
