Skip to comments.The problem with the Republican party?
Posted on 12/18/2012 8:25:58 AM PST by LouAvul
My local gun board is infested with libertarians and democRATs. The Rats were gloating about O'Dumdum's re-election, etc. Prior to the election they were insisting O'Bummer wouldn't make any moves to restrict gun rights, ownership, etc.
Now they've got egg on their faces, and one of them announced he's converting to the Republican party, solely on the basis of gun rights. But he continues to be a liberal on all other issues. Numerous posters chimed in that they did the same, etc, and are working to change the Republican party from within. They want to make us "socially relevant."
Absolutely sickening
You need to label your nonsense Vanity - fool.
I'm just wondering WTH a "local gun board" is?
Is this an elected office? A neighboard group?
Ah yes. A libertarian's response. And you wonder why we don't like you. Well, part of the reason, anyway. ;)
Nonsense. Black panthers and white supremacists also champion gun rights. Doesn't mean we have anything in common.
It is a simple courtesy to put Vanity in the header when you flap your ignorant gums.
But I don't imagine you spend too much time worrying about courtesy. ;)
better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt..
libertarians do not believe in gun control, period..
BTW, civilization would be greatly improved if we were rid of you people. Open borders. Vending machine dope (right next to the bubble gum). Continued torture and slaughter of 1.5 million annually, unborn children. Faggot equal rights, etc.
No thanks. Give a social undesirable a gun and you have, well, a social undesirable with a gun.
There is no Republican Party any more.
How can you people be so obtuse?
So angry. So stupid.
I see you are angry..
allow me to try reason..
are all republicans conservative??
the obvious answer is no..
are all libertarians ron paul nut jobs??
the answer is no..
this libertarian (small l libertarian) is against abortion, against open borders, but is also against the war on drugs, not because of the drugs themselves, but because of the police actions and slow erosion of personal rights that has come with it..
now what do you have to say, sir?
LOL, You're correct, you dont have much in common with Libertarians. You have much more in common with democrats and you're just as stupid and dangerous as they are.
Sorry, a trouble with the GOP is people making up sophomoric names and think that takes the place of serious ideas.
Given that he mentions posters, I'm guessing it's an online forum.
To be libertarian as opposed to Republican is to be a critical thinker as far as I'm concerned.
I have yet to see evidence that the Republican party is the party of small govt. There's far more evidence that they're just as totalitarian as democrats, just in somewhat different ways.
"Give a social undesirable a gun and you have, well, a social undesirable with a gun."
So, are you arguing that we should disarm "undesirables"? I'm really hoping that sounds a lot worse than you meant it to.
Just like we now have vending machines for the legal drug alcohol?
I pity the fool on the hill
I understand the dilemma. The country has gone nuts. Ron Paulbots were crazy on social and foreign policy. The GOP is not conservative. Conservatives are leaving the GOP. The tea party is very upset with the GOP and John Boehner. Fraud was committed in the election. The left has been infiltrating the GOP for years. Things are going insane. People who are of different persuasions dislike Barack Obama, but let him win re-election. No place to go because a civil war in the GOP has to take place or form another party. Bad times.
In other words the GOP has a tent that can no longer get along because they vastly disagree on the direction to take. And just because some people in the GOP agree on some things with us conservatives like dislike of Obama or gun right or economic policy does not mean we agree on everything with them or vice versa. So we get into bitter debates.
I had no idea such "commissions" existed. Sounds like those RINOs would fit right in with a local freedom-of-speech board, where one would have to apply for a permit to speak one's mind.
The problem is that social conservatives or the social-fiscal hybrid which I call traditional conservatism and libertarians especially social liberatians can't co-exist.
Us conservatives believe in Christian principals and right to life and traditional moral and cultural values.
But a social libertarian thinks that everybody is free to do as they please without the need for laws, problems, or consequences. They think social issues should be left up to the person to decide what to do and everyone is free to do what they want. In essence they support the leftist view of social issues in many regards.
The libertarians are on the wrong side of every social issue such as abortion, drug prohibition, homosexuality, marriage, prostitution and just about every other choice that consenting adults make with the exception of gun ownership.
Social libertarians are really no different from the leftists that want to destroy society.
Social libertarians are really no different from the leftists that want to destroy society.
Legal drugs didn't destroy our society the last time they were legal (nor has the legal drug alcohol done so), and legal prostitution hasn't destroyed Nevada.
Well maybe free to do as they please until they start infringing on another's rights.
It isn't necessarily that libertarians agree with those social issues that should be left up to individuals to police, or that there aren't consequences for some of those decisions, it's just that we dont believe in using the fed gov to do those things. Especially when the Consitution doesn't give those powers to the fed gov.
So in that vein, I believe you're right. It's fair to say that social conservatives and libertarians cant really coexist.
It's also fair to say that you support the leftist view of using the fed gov in completely anti-constitutional ways in many regards. aka, you're a progressive.
It's fair to say that while you'll pay lip service to personal responsibility, you dont actually believe in it. aka, you're a hypocrite.
And finally, it's fair to say that you probably have much more in common with democrats than actual conservatives. Aka, you're the Whig party.
Poster child for what is wrong with today's GOP...
Poster child for today's Libertarians...
Your choice. Choose wisely.
Holy cow. I don't even think there's a freerepublic any more, given the libertarians posting on this thread.
So can we say that you believe that it's the proper role of DC to give sanction to or ban those activities? If so, perhaps you can show us where the constitution specifically gives the feds that power?
I should mention that there are also disagreements with libertarians on foreign policy. They want to curtail the defense and have come to think of the military as a force that has caused more harm than good. They don't value a war on terror or understand its ramifications. They do not get the Islamic threats. There is one group that is even against Israeli and any Jewish state. There is another that is very anti-war and wants to end all wars.
They think everything is a civil liberties issue or causing a police state and while some of it is understandable and true, they oppose measures of any kind to track or punish the enemy. They are heavily opposed to the military.
They support cutting defense. Now I don't mind cutting some of the defense if not needed and fixing departments as long as it does not jeopardize security. But some libertarians want it cut as drastic as Obama or even more because war is bad to them and they see it as us being the oppressors around the world. Hence they call republican, conservatives or folks who support the military and defense as neo-cons.
But rampant drugs and drug use destroys the culture. People will start to try them because they are available to try if not outlawed. The majority of the ghettos and cities with high crime rates have a drug problem. Drugs are bad. Who would want to poison the body and end up sick? You have to enjoy life not start destroying the one body you were given. If it is your choice fine, but people make an industry of it. If it is legal then the industry will flourish like in Amsterdam.
I say it is the role of society to keep things moral and decent for the kids and for it to be a respectable society for all of us to live in. I don't want to live in inner city Detroit or South-side Chicago where social values have run amok with their socially liberal outlook on life. I want a nation that is clean and moral. Not one filled with debauchery and a broken down society. A destruction of our values to be good human beings.
Ah but leftists or neo-progressives agree more with your point of view. They want government off their bodies and out of their personal lives. They want to be able to be free to ruin the culture and do things that are not moral and decent. They are using it to push left wing values that take it faraway from the traditional values the founding fathers had. Religion was an important part of the founding of the nation.
Lot of socially liberal people are not friendly to religion. They don't like values, they want to be free to do what they want without any consequence.
Ahhh. So it's all "...for the children"?
Still waiting to hear where the constitution gives the feds the power to enforce that.
They [libertarians] actually have a point here: it is destructive to our own sovereignty to impose our will upon other nations via the military (i.e. being "world police") -- this is because in doing so we assert that might makes right, and therefore have absolutely no legal or moral defense (w/o becoming hypocrites) if and when that should be done to us (think UN enforcement of small-arms treaty/agreement).
Not that our government isn't hypocritical in the extreme now: they have cited state sponsored terrorism as justification for forcing [regime] changes to foreign states -- and then executed Operation Fast & Furious, which is state sponsored terrorism.
They dont value a war on terror or understand its ramifications.
I'm a veteran and I'm against a "War on Terror." Why? Because there is no victory condition -- certainly not one that is militarily attainable. Like the War on Drugs or the War on Poverty, the 'target' of the declared 'war' is ever malleable and will always be changed to further government control; if the War on Drugs was ever close to eradicating drugs on the street the 'goal' would be changed to include prescription drug abuse -- likewise, if the War on Terror were close to being won there would be one thing sure to change: the definition of terrorist, allowing for more government control/action {actually, this has already happened in some degree with militia, returning vets, third-party supporters, and anti-abortionists all being flagged as possible terrorist groups}.
In short, I'm against any 'war'/policy that doesn't have well-defined and attainable/enforceable goals.
Wow. You really don't see it, do you?
The people who "poison their body" are those who are the most in need of help (and hope) -- Jesus came to heal the sick, not the well... and if you are a christian then your goal is to become Christ-like. Period.
WTH is a 'gun board'?.............
No, leftists want the govt off their bodies only so far as abortion goes but up to the neck in everyone's personal lives otherwise. So do you. I abhor abortion and believe it infringes on someone else's life (aside from the fact it's murder). Therefore it's wrong and I believe there should be a law against it. But get your f'ing boots off my neck. If I choose to smoke weed, it's really none of your damned business so long as I'm not infringing on someone else's rights.
Ya, the founders believed religion was important and so do I, but this weren't no theocracy and I failed to read a piece of the Consitution that gives the feds the power to enforce your version of morality.
They are using it to push left wing values that take it faraway from the traditional values the founding fathers had
So what the hell's the difference between a leftist using the govt to push their values and you using the govt to push yours? The founders believed it was incumbent upon US to do such things, not the govt. On this, you agree with leftists in using fed powers to do things not in the Constitution.
Lot of socially liberal people are not friendly to religion. They dont like values, they want to be free to do what they want without any consequence.
That's great, but I go to church and I still maintain you're every bit as progressive as the left and have more in commmon with the left than I ever will. I believe in the founder's libertarianism and you clearly dont. Great conversation. Thanks.
But rampant drugs and drug use destroys the culture.
There is no sound reason to expect legalization to lead to "rampant" drug use - it didn't the last time drugs were legal in the USA.
People will start to try them because they are available to try if not outlawed.
News flash: they are available to try now even though outlawed.
Is the law YOUR primary reason to not use drugs?
The majority of the ghettos and cities with high crime rates have a drug problem.
And an alcohol problem, and a fatherlessness problem, and etc. Which causes what?
And note that the illegality of drugs incentivizes crime by hyperinflating the price of drugs.
Drugs are bad. Who would want to poison the body and end up sick? You have to enjoy life not start destroying the one body you were given.
All applicable to alcohol and tobacco - and all decisions that should be left to individuals.
If it is your choice fine, but people make an industry of it. If it is legal then the industry will flourish like in Amsterdam.
No more than the alcohol and tobacco industries flourish in the USA. Should those be banned? If people want things, other people will sell them - that's a fundamental fact of human nature that can't be legislated away ... but such utopian legislative fantasies can do a lot of harm, as we saw with Prohibition and see today with the War On Drugs.
This sounds pretty small-"l" libertarian to me:
'Has nothing whatsoever to do with bedroom behavior. Its the public in your face and down our kids throats behavior that is intolerable. Keep it off our public squares, out of our playgrounds, out of our parks, out of our public restrooms, off our streets, out of our schools, out of our churches, off of our TV, out of our movies, out of our judiciary, out of our military, out of our government and out of our faces!! Take it back to your private bedrooms. Thankyouverymuch!!'
- Jim Robinson, 05/26/2011
In the New Testament, Rom 1:26ff: For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Paul discusses numerous other sins but then concludes in verse 32, Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I don't know what Paul had in mind in verse 32 re "worthy of death." I think the consensus might be that he was referring to the second death, viz. eternal damnation. Regardless, he was saying that homosexuality is an abomination in public or private.
I also don't understand your reference to small vs large case libertarian. I don't think it's relevant. Libertarians universally demand/espouse that which God condemns, and that's enough for me.
This sounds pretty small-"l" libertarian to me: [...]
I don't know what the context of Mr. Robinson's comment was framed,
I gave you the link - you can easily see the context yourself.
but homosexuality is a pervasive evil regardless it's setting. The Bible strictly forbids it. In the Old Testament (which was fulfilled by Christ, therefore done away with) it was a crime punishable by death.
It seems that the founder/owner of FreeRepublic doesn't think it's government's proper role to enforce all biblical proscriptions. Perhaps FR is not the site for you.
I also don't understand your reference to small vs large case libertarian.
Uppercase L is the Libertarian Party, which endorses some flaky things.
I don't think it's relevant. Libertarians universally demand/espouse that which God condemns
No, they demand/espouse individual liberty to choose whether to do non-rights-violating things that God condemns.
As such, I have nothing more to say to you. You people are brainwashed in your own delusion. But hey, have a nice day. :)
Based on the post I quoted from FR's founder/owner, his position is closer to the libertarians than to yours.

The first time I bought this, my kids loved it and it really kept the colds away. I ordered 4 bottles subsequently and it was BAD. The content came out green and murky, and smelled really funky even though it was way before the expiration date. I threw them all out. Never ordering this again.

Reduced cold symptoms!
Posted by Reviewer2107632 on Jul 16, 2009
I had my first chance to try this out last week when my 15 month old picked up a cold. I was amazed at how well this helped to reduce her cold symptoms. I got the same cold and was much worse off than she was! I also used the liquid vit. C and echinacea by Childlife. My daughter usually wakes up multiple times in the night with a cold because she can't breathe. The money we spent on this was well worth the price for getting to sleep all night, because the mucus wasn't nearly as thick this time around!
It really improve my kids immunity support after taken it for 2 months +. Worst to buy it & strongly recommended!

Love it. I've noticed big difference in my daughter. Can't live without it, especially during flu season.
Great Stuff!
Posted by Reviewer1361492 on Dec 02, 2006
First off, this exact product was double the price at any local store we went to, so kudos to Iherb. Second, we've gone through two bottles of this and have noticed that the severity and frequency of viral stuff has decreased in our 2 year old as compared to other kids she's around. Seems to really have an impact, especially if doses of other anti-oxidents are given.
5 stele!!!

Mitsubishi Electric residential cooling and heating systems provide energy-efficient comfort to specific rooms or a whole house, all without ductwork. Mitsubishi cooling systems are 35 percent more energy-efficient than central A/C systems and 40 percent more energy-efficient than window units, translating into big savings for homeowners during the hottest days of summer. Many models are also Energy Star qualified.
What makes Mitsubishi Electric cooling units so efficient is their compressor, which operates much like a car's cruise control. Unlike other cooling systems which continuously turn on and off to maintain optimum temperature, Mitsubishi Electric systems ramp up quickly to reach the desired temperature and then make small adjustments to keep that temperature steady. Each room includes individual temperature control, so you cool only the spaces you're using and save on overall energy costs. And because the system requires no ductwork, installation is fast and messy demolition is avoided.
Mitsubishi Electric cooling units are ideal for spaces that traditional A/C systems can't accommodate, such as a new addition to a home or rooms in an old home that has no ductwork. Featuring long-life allergen filters and a whisper-quiet sound level, Mitsubishi Electric cooling systems are available with a variety of easy-to-use control options, such as a portable central controller and remote monitoring via smartphone or tablet. Units also use green materials, including environmentally friendly refrigerant and recyclable parts. Design your own efficient cooling systems at www.mehvac.com.

Lung volume reduction surgery is used to improve breathing in some people with severe emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During surgery, small wedges of damaged lung tissue are removed to allow the remaining tissue to function better.
There is a fairly rigorous process to qualify as a candidate for the surgery. After surgery, people often have less shortness of breath and are better able to exercise.
Experience. Mayo Clinic has been a pioneering center in translating lung volume reduction surgery from a research tool to part of everyday care of people with emphysema.
Mayo Clinic was one of the participating centers in the multicenter national trial that evaluated the effectiveness and role of lung volume reduction surgery. The trial helped define who is most likely to benefit from the surgery. Mayo Clinic typically performs about 10 lung volume reduction surgeries a year.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for respiratory disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for respiratory disorders by U.S. News & World Report.
Mayo Clinic follows a careful process in evaluating treatment options for a person with advanced, severe emphysema. An immediate goal is to determine whether you might benefit from lung volume reduction surgery.
This evaluation is also an opportunity to optimize all aspects of care critical to good quality of life for someone with emphysema, including physical activity, stress reduction, medications, oxygen requirements, smoking cessation or anything else identified by your team of doctors and therapists.
Your evaluation at Mayo will include:
During lung volume reduction surgery, a chest (thoracic) surgeon removes small wedges of damaged lung tissue, usually about 20 to 30 percent of each lung, to allow the remaining tissue to function better. As a result, the diaphragm contracts and relaxes more effectively and efficiently, so you can breathe more easily.
Mayo Clinic surgeons are experienced in performing this surgery either via a large incision (thoracotomy) or through several small incisions using a special scope (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery).
Once you are discharged from the hospital, Mayo promotes the idea of rehabilitation as a lifelong process. This is a hallmark of the Mayo Clinic experience — creating an environment for you that will promote a healthy lifestyle.
Mayo will continue to oversee your care through a rehabilitation center closer to your home. Mayo Clinic works with your hometown doctor to ensure your continuing care is well-coordinated.
Studies have shown that lung volume reduction surgery improves exercise capacity, lung function and quality of life in select candidates when compared with people who were treated nonsurgically.
People who are born with an inherited form of emphysema, called alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency-related emphysema, are likely to develop severe emphysema in their 30s and 40s. A lung transplant may be a better treatment option than lung volume reduction surgery for these individuals because of their age.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Lung volume reduction surgery is performed by specialists in cardiothoracic surgery, who work closely with doctors in pulmonary medicine and physical medicine and rehabilitation to care for individuals before and after surgery.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 904-953-0853 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.
Lung volume reduction surgery is performed by specialists in thoracic surgery, who work closely with doctors in pulmonary medicine and physical medicine and rehabilitation to evaluate and care for individuals. The Minnesota location also has a state-of-the-art Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program to help you before and after surgery.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 507-538-3270 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.
See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Mayo Clinic participated in the National Emphysema Treatment Trial, which evaluated lung volume reduction surgery and helped identify who is most likely to benefit from the surgery and defined characteristics that predict both negative and positive surgical outcomes.

Skip to comments.Group Targets .50-Cal. Rifle-(NY Rifle Ban... enjoy)
Posted on 05/28/2005 6:22:28 PM PDT by Flavius
A .50-caliber rifle can shoot down an airplane while it's taking off or landing, bust a hole in half-inch steel and set an oil refinery on fire, according to Andy Pelosi, executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence.
And an 18-year-old can buy one in New York state.
"There's no place in civilian society for this gun. This gun is a weapon of war," Pelosi said. Advertisement
Pelosi was in Syracuse Thursday as part of a statewide push to ban the .50-caliber rifle, which uses a bullet that's six inches long and can hit a target from more than a mile away, Pelosi said.
The Assembly passed legislation Tuesday that would ban the gun. A similar bill has been introduced in the Senate, but it is still in committee. California has banned the .50-caliber from civilian use.
Other states should follow California's example, said Bryan Miller of the Freedom States Alliance, a national coalition of state gun-violence groups.
"Society has a duty and a responsibility to decide what is acceptable and what is not," he said, standing behind one of the guns, which are more than 4 feet long.
The National Rifle Association and Ronnie Barrett, the gun's inventor, said those who want the ban are just pushing to take all guns away from civilians.
"This has nothing to do with terrorists. It has nothing to do with crime," he said. "It's about disarming the American public."
Barrett, president of Barrett Firearms, said the .50-caliber rifle is no more dangerous than any other rifle. And the claim that the .50-caliber can fire farther is true, but even the best marksmen would have trouble hitting a target from more than a mile away, he said.
But Pelosi offered a brochure Barrett's company used in the past to market the .50-caliber to the military. It boasts that the gun can hit a jet airplane or a helicopter in just the right spot, "making it capable of destroying multi-million dollar aircraft with a single hit delivered to a vital area."
The brochure goes on to boast that the gun's cost-effectiveness cannot be overemphasized because all it takes is one round of ammunition to bring a plane down.
Barrett did not dispute the claims, but said his company no longer uses that brochure. It's tacked on the wall of the company bathroom with other memorabilia, he said. From Our Advertiser
He said he didn't invent the gun for military use or for hunting.
"I designed it for me to shoot and play with," Barrett said. "I'm a shootist."
Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington, D-Medford, sponsored the bill that passed the Assembly this week. She said Barrett's comments are proof that there is no need for civilians to have the gun, which retails for around $7,000.
"I'm quite delighted it did pass, because this is not a hunting rifle and it should never be used for a hunting rifle. It is such a dangerous weapon," Eddington said. "You don't need a weapon like this."
She said the legislation, if approved by the Senate and governor, is a preventative step that would make New York safer.
"Why wait for a tragedy to happen?" she said. "Let's do something to prevent a tragedy from occurring. No one needs to have a .50-caliber weapon."
To read the Assembly bill, go to http:// assembly.state.ny.us/leg/ and type in A4471. To read the Senate version, go to http:// www.senate.state.ny.us/ senatehomepage.nsf/home?openform and click on "bills and laws," then type in S2590, then on the next screen click on "text."
Oh, it's good for hunting. The only problem with that is there isn't an abundance of elephants in NY state.
Hand 'em in boys and girls they are going after em...
Dude is H E A V Y~@@!!!!!
This type of weapon is much more suited to a defensive emplacement than a fire and maneuver assault.
Democrats, being unfamiliar with the concept of "defense", to say nothing of the idea of "defending America", probably have no idea what I'm talking about.
Dems and Liberals are fundamentally too stupid to pour contaminants from metal containers.
You ain't taking my Hawken away from me!
Andy Pelosi....any relation to you-know-who?
On reading the article again, I really wonder if my old 50. caliber Hawken I made from a kit in 1977 can really shoot down an airplane from a mile away. If it will do that, I wonder what the .54 caliber rifle my father-in-law has will do? It probably has some type of secret exploding projectile.
Would this mean that I can't buy a Civil War weapon, which is commonly .54 calibre?
What is the magic of .50 Calibre? Is there some magical properties of such a weapon that makes it worse than a .499 calibre?
If these weapons are soooo powerful then why are then not the standard issue weapon for soldiers around the world, instead of being relegated to special use?
Enquiring minds, et
So, as a military-only (i.e., militia) weapon, it's protected under Miller.
"Oh, it's good for hunting. The only problem with that is there isn't an abundance of elephants in NY state."
Makes a helluva impression on deer, bears, etc which are found in New York State....
Isn't it a little difficult for an 18 year old to come up with $7,000.00 without creating some kind of scrutiny by the feds?
cartridge size comparision: .50 BMG (top) and the 20x110mm Hispano (below)
And there are lunitics here in the United States that want us disarmed......just how utterly and completely crazy is that?
If Andy Pelosi et al succeed in even partially disarming American citizens...and even one American is murdered by mohammidians because of the lack of the banned firearm...I would say Andy Pelosi should suffer some consequences.....I can't say what those consequences might be, but they should be severe enough that Mr. Pelosi will never forget.
"There's no place in civilian society for Andy Pelosi."
"which uses a bullet that's six inches long...."
Damn news reporters are mostly morons. They seem to have any knowlege of anything they report on. The bullet is about 1" long. It is a half inch in diameter. The shell casing is six inches long. And it would be a un-believable lucky shot to bring down even a piper club with one round from this weapon.
Ask any soldier or Marine if I am not being truthful.
These bozos just keep rolling along in mis-information.
So a well place shot lets say from a Winchester 460 Magnum on some fuel valve at a chemical plant will probably do just as well as this 50 caliber round. Now remember anyone can walk into a gun shop and by a Winchester 460 caliber rifle.
Only thing is, with the 50 caliber rifle, it has a much longer barrel, which leads to a higher muzzle energy and a flatter bullet path, which will retain more energy at much longer distances. But this article as others, makes it sound like a 50 caliber rifle can bring down a chopper or military jet or airliner with a few shots. It is very misleading in my opinion. Of course a 50 caliber machine gun is a different story, but that is not the issue here.
Hell my grandfather use to have .79 caliber musket!You just know that thing would create a thermonuclear blast that would spread radiation 1 mile in every direction after dropping every airplane out of the sky everywhere in the state.How we avoided spinning the earth off of its axis sending it crashing into the sun during the revolutionary war I will never figure out.
Pelosi was in Syracuse Thursday as part of a statewide push to ban the .50-caliber rifle, which uses a bullet that's six inches long
MY GOD! Imagine what the cartridge must be like!!!
Must be a LONG action.
The only problem with that is there isn't an abundance of elephants in NY state.
No, but the population of politians seems to grow out of
Hint, sterilizing them won't work.
First of all, the Second Amendment isn't need-based. Typical that a lefty would try and cast our rights in that fashion -- as though they were an 'entitlement'.
Second of all, the more I hear from people like this Peolis, the more convinced I am that the American citizens DO need these weapons.
Pelousi said this is a weapon of war and therefore had 'no'
place in civilian society?
Since the 2nd amendment is about owning military weapons...
'militia' weapons..Pelousi just confessed this is 'precisely'
the kind of weapon our society does need...
I think the exit wound would be the whole other side of the animal!
Don't get me wrong, I want a Desert Eagle more than just about anything. I want to crack the engine block of the next 18 wheeler that pisses me off!
Was that a TC Hawken Kit ?!?!??! It has the older long tang that will accept a "tang peep" ?!?!?!??!?
I had one of those stolen from a truck long ago and have looked for a replacement of that "long tang" version ever since.
I have an older jager flintlock that is a favorite for now. I bought the TC Encore Muzzle Loader that uses the 209 Primers. Really good rig but I'd like a 54 caliber for Elk. Brown doesn't make a 54 caliber TC barrel for that does he ??
As to this law the NRA membership and leadership reminds me of what the good "Rev Martin Niemoeller" said.......
OH WELL guess I just have to settle for a 300 Weatherby Mag. Damn!!!
Why all the focus on guns? Who needs them! I sure don't! Nope, I don't have any at all. So, if anyone asks I just have gun safes. They are all empty. Really!
Pelosi's ancestors probably tried to ban the 45-70.
The original weapon of mass destruction! How did mankind ever survive?
Yep! Bought it from JC Penny by mail order while we were in Germany about 1975 or 76. I assembled it at Ft Hood, darned near ruined the marriage when I heated the barrel over the kitchen stove to brown it. If memory is correct it did cost me a dinner out, as the house was pretty rank that evening.
I rust blued mine the old fashioned way........buried it for a while .
Mom was hotter than the stove eh......true love will survive , ya'll are proof. Happy 33 ya'll !
Stay safe ....
Ever see an old long tang TC Hawken in .54 caliber . Give me a shout if ya will.
If you can.
...or from leather ones -- even with instructions written on the heel...
No, but we do have an overabundance of RINOs.
"...or from leather ones -- even with instructions written on the heel..."
Have not heard it put so politely.
Yeah, here too. Good one.
What I want to say to these alleged human beings would get me banned forthwith. They are the lowest scum imaginable. Lower than whale t*rds and THEY'RE at the bottom of the ocean.
You make a good point. Affixing a 20lb propane tank, rigged to explode, under one of the many gasoline tankers would be a much more likely approach to attacking an oil facility.
Sure they can have my muzzleloaders, when they pull them from my COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!
Its the bill of rights, not the bill of needs
Yes, hugh and series as well. Pelosi probably thinks Republicans have their servants carry the ammo boxes eh?!
"You make a good point. Affixing a 20lb propane tank, rigged to explode, under one of the many gasoline tankers would be a much more likely approach to attacking an oil facility."
And many other evil ways. But let me make a correction just for the record in my prior statement. I incorrectly refered to a Winchester 460 Magnum round. That it totally incorrect.
Winchester's largest bore (unless they have created a newer design in recent years), was .458. The Weatherby .460 Magnum was the round I was refering to. To different animals. The Weatherby 460 Magnum not to many years ago was the most powerful sporting round available on the market. Perhaps things have changed. At any rate, just wanted to make note of my original mistake, was last, and bleary eyed.

Application Development: Google's Go Programming Language: 30 Ways to Make It Better
GG: A Build Tool for Go in Go Tool
GG is a builder for the Go language. It makes it easy to build your Go files into an executable file. It's released under the terms of the BSD License. GG is not as powerful as make utility. But it lets you build a simple file or a simple project. Projects can be described in the YAML language.
Google recently released version 1.0 of its Go programming language. Google initially introduced Go as an "experimental language in 2009 and has now come to a 1.0 release of the technology." At the time of its introduction, Google described Go as a language that attempts to combine the development speed found in a dynamic language like Python with the performance and safety of a compiled language like C or C++. In a March 28 blog post, Andrew Gerrand, a Google software engineer and core contributor to the Go language, wrote: "Today marks a major milestone in the development of the Go programming language. We're announcing Go version 1, or Go 1 for short, which defines a language and a set of core libraries to provide a stable foundation for creating reliable products, projects and publications." Go 1 is the first release of Go that is available in supported binary distributions, Gerrand said. "They are available for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X and, we are thrilled to announce, Windows." In addition to the language itself, Google has spawned an ecosystem of projects that support and enhance the Go experience. Although more than 100 such projects exist, eWEEK highlights 30 that stand out and can impact the success of the Go language.

Share Your Story
Annie Konopka is a mother of two and she has been married to Joe for 20 years. Before she married Joe, Annie was very interested in a TV/Modeling career. She attended John Casablanca Modeling School and did some modeling in the late 80's. Annie was a contestant in the 1987/1988 Miss NJ Pageant and the 2007 Mrs. NJ Pageant.
After her first child was born in 1995, Annie started to experience some of the early symptoms associated with Young-Onset Parkinson's disease as a stay-at-home mom. However, when Annie became pregnant with her second child, the symptoms disappeared. After her second child arrived, the symptoms returned and Annie became very concerned. After 4 years of visiting general neurologists and movement disorder specialists, she was finally diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson's disease by a doctor from UPenn.
Currently, Annie views her disease as a personal challenge and does not sit back and wonder why she received this diagnosis. Over the past 4 years, she has become involved in many aspects of the Parkinson's community.
In 2005, Annie and her friend Judy from Tennessee, who also suffers with Parkinson's disease, started USA PD Pals online support & information group. USA PD-PALS made their debut at the 12th Annual Parkinson's Unity Walk in 2006, raising over $17,000.00.
After this top ten finish, Annie hosted the 1st Annual Have A Heart for Parkinson's Valentine Dinner Dance in February 2007 where she raised over $7,400.00. That was the first step in her fundraising efforts for the 2007 Parkinson's Unity Walk where she raised over $14,000.00. Adding this total to an additional $14,000.00 from her team resulted in a grand total of $28,000.00, which catapulted the team to a top ten finish for the second year in a row.
Annie served as the 2nd Vice President on the board of New Jersey chapter of the American Parkinson's Disease Association 2007-2009, volunteers with the Parkinson's Alliance and is team captain for USA PD PALS.
In addition to these activities, Annie self published her 1st children's book "A Tale of a Parkie Princess", which was available on barnesandnoble.com and other online book stores in March 2008.
She received the "2005 Women Who Make Magic" Award, and the 2007 NJAPDA Excellence in Service Award. Also, when she competed in the 2007 Mrs. NJ USA pageant, she received the People's choice award and 1st runner up for the Community Service Award.
In the summer of 1998 Annie and her family were selected to participate in a Parkinson's awareness campaign. The campaign, titled "Living with Parkinson's Disease", featured Annie's family in a DVD and brochures were distributed in doctor's offices. Her story was also selected to appear in the "Proud Hands of Parkinson's" coffee table book, which was launched in the spring 2008.
Annie's continues to raise funds and awareness in hopes for a cure, her goal in the near future is to start her own non-profit organization that would directly benefit Parkinson's patients and their families.

Dear Editor,
Since the Columbia disaster on Feb. 1, NASAs officials will be doing intensive searching and researching trying to determine exactly what went wrong with the Columbia spaceship when and why. They will view and review, judging and prejudging all the facts before their investigation is finalized. At the present time all departments concerned are trying to shift the responsibility from one agency to the other one. The scientists are asking leading questions to the engineering department and vice versa.
While standing on the side line intensely watching the investigation, yet feeling no guilt of any involvement or for them to be considered as a group that played a major hand in the Columbia's disaster, is our legislative branch in Washington D.C. Yes, the House of Representatives and our U.S. Senate. Both chambers have repeatedly cut NASAs budget they have requested to keep its outer space program and equipment on top of the art form.
At the time the Columbia was built, word went out it was guaranteed to make 100 flights. Any one making that claim must have had bubbles for brains, as in anyone's common mind logic, no one could know or determine the amount of heat transfer and metal stress that would play on the internal frame work of the shuttle on its re-entry into the atmosphere.
Since we have had units make the re-entry from the stratosphere into the atmosphere traveling through that estimated 30 mile band (predicated on the time of the season) of atmosphere NASAs scientists have learned the shuttles outer shields heat up to and above 3,000 degrees and undergo horrendous amounts of vibration during this 30 mile re-entry in to Earth's atmosphere, all within approximately 30 seconds.
NASA has wanted a second shuttle to alternate flights, giving them a second unit to compare wear, tear, and metal stress and fatigue. Congress never gave them the money to do this. Congress should, but they will not step forward and take their fair share of the part they played in Columbia's failure in the overall scope of the incident. Our Washington Congress did have a large part to play in the Columbia disaster, by being too tight fisted. There is no fair equation when we compare astronaut's lives with paltry budget dollars. Especially when lives are involved.

Now that the dust has settled over in the southern hemisphere, it's time to hand out praise to the stars of Round Eight!
Now that the dust has settled over in the southern hemisphere, we thought it was only right to hand out praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round Eight!
Super Rugby Team of the Week: Round Eight:
15 Andre Taylor Hurricanes: Taylor makes this week's team as the best of an outstanding crop of full-backs. We could easily have gone for Jesse Mogg, Jayden Hayward, Jason Woodward, Ben Smith or Willie le Roux, who all shone for their respective teams. However, Taylor was superb on attack in the Hurricanes' win over the Bulls in Napier, crossing over for a try and gaining 123 metres with ball in hand.
14 Tim Nanai-Williams Chiefs: Was at the heart of the champions' remarkable fightback against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein which saw them clinching a draw in injury time for the second week in succession. Nanai-Williams gained 56 metres on attack and was rewarded with two tries for his efforts. Edges out Johnny McNicholl who put in a hard-working effort for the Crusaders in their win over the Lions.
13 Juan de Jongh Stormers: Probably the only Stormers player who emerged with his reputation intact after their defeat to the Waratahs in Cape Town. The Bok midfielder set up his side's only try and came agonisingly close to scoring one himself. Also impressed on defence with eight tackles and comes in ahead of Ben Tapuai who scored in the Reds' loss to the Western Force.
12 Pat McCabe Brumbies: The Wallaby is known as the Chuck Norris of Super Rugby after bouncing back from two broken necks and there was more of his trademark bravery in his side's runaway win over the Blues in Canberra. McCabe crossed over for two tries with 59 metres gained and also did his bit on defence with six hits. Beats out Crusaders stand-in captain Ryan Crotty who also scored a try in his side's win in Johannesburg.
11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma Chiefs: Another player whose superb attacking ability saw him being rewarded with two tries in the Chiefs' draw with the Cheetahs. Tikoirotuma's elusive running style kept the Cheetahs defenders busy and he comes in ahead of Julian Savea who caught the eye, with several devastating run, for the Hurricanes.
10 Beauden Barrett Hurricanes: Was influential in his side's win over the Bulls in Napier, contributing 20 points via six penalties and a conversion. Barrett beats out Jacques-Louis Potgieter, who did well for the Bulls and Lima Sopoaga who contributed 18 points in the Highlanders' victory over the Rebels.
9 Sarel PretoriusCheetahs: The Cheetahs number nine was superb in his side's draw against the Chiefs, scoring a brace of tries and gaining 110 metres on attack. Chiefs counterpart Augustine Pulu, who also scored two tries, as well as Highlanders number nine Aaron Smith, who also dotted down in his 50th match for the Highlanders, deserve mentions.
8 Scott Higginbotham Melbourne Rebels: The Rebels captain shone in a losing cause against the Highlanders and was one of the best players on the field. Higginbotham was superb as a ball carrier, gaining 87 metres and was a force in the line-outs, winning a handful of balls. The Western Force's Ben McCalman also did well against the Reds.
7 Michael Hooper Waratahs: Impressed in his side's win over the Stormers with 30 metres gained on attack but also made his presence felt on defence with seven tackles and also won a couple of line-outs. Is preferred to Highlanders tearaway Shane Christie and the Hurricanes' Jack Lam, who had been pencilled into our team until he missed a crucial tackle which allowed Handre Pollard to score for the Bulls.
6 Lappies Labuschagne Cheetahs: Carried well, gaining 33 metres, against the Chiefs but his biggest impact was made on defence where he made 14 tackles for the men from Bloemfontein. Comes in ahead of the Waratahs' Jacques Potgieter and Blues' Jerome Kaino.
5 Brodie Retallick Chiefs: Was superb in his prime duty at the line-outs with eight balls won but also impressed as a ball-carrier and on defence with seven tackles.
4 James Horwill Reds: The Reds skipper led by example despite his side's loss to Force. Horwill was a willing ball-carrier, with 30 metres gained, won his fair share of line-out balls and also did well defensively with 11 tackles made.
3 Owen Franks Crusaders: His experience came to the fore with a solid scrummaging display against a highly-rated Lions front row and also impressed at the coalface of the Christchurch-based franchise's forward effort, especially on defence around the fringes of the rucks and mauls.
2 Tatafu Polota-Nau Waratahs: Did well in the tight exchanges for the Sydneysiders in their win over the Stormers at Newlands. Also impressed with his accuracy in finding his jumpers at the line-outs and on defence with a handful of tackles. Edges out James Hanson who did well in a losing cause in Brisbane.
1 James Slipper Reds: Delivered a strong scrummaging performance against the Western Force but also impressed in loose play, gaining 18 metres while also scoring a try. Made eight tackles on defence and beats out Chris King of the Highlanders.

Generating Animations to Visualize Your Simulation Results
Andrew Griesmer | December 8, 2016
If you've read the COMSOL Blog before, you might know that we like to include animations in our blog posts to help illustrate concepts more clearly. Most of these animations are exported directly from the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, which means that you can export animations for your own simulations, too. At the bottom of this post, we link to a video to show you how to do that.Read More
Caty Fairclough | July 12, 2016
You've generated your simulation results and you want to communicate your findings with other people. To do so clearly and effectively, you will need to create easy-to-understand, eye-catching visualizations. Therefore, as of COMSOL Multiphysics® software version 5.2a, you now have six new color tables to further enhance your postprocessing. Let's learn about the inspiration behind these color tables and take a look at a few specific use cases.Read More

Have you ever run a large parametric sweep overnight, only to discover the next morning that the parametric solver is still not finished? You may wish you could inspect the solutions for the parameters that are already computed while waiting for the last few parameters to converge. The remedy to this problem is to use a batch sweep, which automatically saves the parametric solutions that were already computed on a file that you can open for visualization and postprocessing purposes.Read More

Modeling complex geometries with thin structures can be very costly in terms of computational effort, particularly as such structures require quite a lot of mesh elements in order to resolve them. COMSOL Multiphysics provides dedicated features for modeling thin structures so that such models can be solved efficiently while maintaining accuracy. To set up and postprocess thin structures, COMSOL Multiphysics also provides specialized operators to help you consider all the relevant parameters required for accurate results.Read More

When simulating acoustic waves, vibrating mechanical hardware, or fluid in a channel — just to name a few applications — you may be interested in visualizing the movement or shape change in a device. Postprocessing and visualization can help enhance your understanding of simulation results, and using plots to illustrate physical motion allows you to put everything into perspective. Deformations are a great way to accomplish this.Read More
Lexi Carver | February 2, 2015
In recent postprocessing blog posts, we've demonstrated different plot types that are typically used for common fluid, mechanical, chemical, and electrical applications. In the next several parts of this series, we'll introduce a few more unusual plot types that are specific to unique applications and discuss some other tools that you can use to change the feel of your visualization. Here, we highlight polar, far-field, and particle tracing plots.Read More
Lexi Carver | December 29, 2014
Last month, we saw examples of contour plots (and their 3D counterparts, isosurfaces) that were created to show the stress in a pulley and the acoustic frequency in a loudspeaker. In this installment of the postprocessing series, we'll explore the use of streamlines to visually describe fluid flow.Read More

Great looking shoe but too narrow
"I normally wear a 9 but decided to buy a 10, since most Italian shoes tend to run small. This shoe is really gorgeous, the 10 did fit and the platform made the height comfortable. However, the shoe is way too narrow. The side of my feet were hanging over the side of the shoe. The width is a European medium which must mean a US narrow. Wish they had this in a wide. If you have narrow feet these should fit, however you would still need to size up since they do run short. Sadly, these beauties are going back."
