Its just a crying shame that  ‘Impish & Lethal’ or “the Dragon & the Leprechaun’ don’t fit the rhythm of the theme song lyrics for that show other wise I’d redo those too!

 

What’s that Impish? No, of course not! Your being depicted as Pinky in no way means I think you have the IQ of a refrigerator light bulb! It’s umm… all about lay out and height of the characters as compared to us, yeah that’s it! Plus you know I am rather single minded about acquiring power and money just like Brain was about ruling the world while you do sort of like to side track and investigate shiny things. Speaking of of shiny things, I had that laser light disco ball set up installed in your private Lounge Lizard Seduction Lair, you should go check it out! OK? Yes I agree that is the perfect place to work on your Austin Powers imitation act. Bud-bye now!

Sheesh! Damned buttinski insecure whiney Dragon! You take a little comedic license and all the sudden you’re insulting his intelligence and hurting his feelings! He better just be reading those damned women’s rags again about males needing to be sensitive and in touch with their feelings because if he’s planning on coming out of the closet I’m dropping my representation of him. We already have a gay purple dinosaur doing the kids and sensitive/ life lesson angle, Anderson Cooper beat him to the the gay political commentator market already and gay bloggers are a tube of Preparation H a dozen- there’s no market angle for a sensitive flaming dragon even if the 50% of the flaming would be literally fire.

As far as his Austin Powers imitation act, believe me he’s far more a natural as Old Fat Bastard than Austin Powers. He’d do a far better job as a Pinky imitator, I mean their lines are naturally so much alike and how hard can it be to remember the signature phrase “NARF!”

OK, lets get this issue rolling while our coffee is still hot and before Impish gets back shall we?

 

All I know is it dammed well better be one of those Harry Potter magical chocolate frogs and he better bloody well not be drinking from or relieving himself in me cuppa! 

Funny, I thought Assbook was the Democratic Party’s Social Media network!

 Impish tried that approach but his dark patches were really coffee stains! 

Durable Borgnine’s motto: ‘You gotta go to work’

DAVID GERMAIN, AP Movie Writer Updated 07:08 p.m., Sunday, July 8, 2012

LOS ANGELES (AP) — He was a tubby tough guy with a pug of a mug, as unlikely a big-screen star or a romantic lead as could be imagined.

Yet Ernest Borgnine won a woman’s love and an Academy Award in one of the great lonely-hearts roles in “Marty,” a highlight in a workhorse career that spanned nearly seven decades and more than 200 film and television parts.

Borgnine, who died Sunday at 95, worked to the end. One of his final roles was a bit part as a CIA records-keeper in 2011’s action comedy “Red” — fittingly for his age, a story of retired spies who show that it’s never too late to remain in the game when they’re pulled back into action.

“I keep telling myself, ‘Damn it, you gotta go to work,'” Borgnine said in a 2007 interview with The Associated Press. “But there aren’t many people who want to put Borgnine to work these days. They keep asking, ‘Is he still alive?'”

And yet people put him to work — and kept him working — from his late-blooming start as an actor after a 10-year Navy career through modern times, when he had a recurring voice role on “SpongeBob SquarePants,” became the oldest actor ever nominated for a Golden Globe and received the lifetime-achievement award last year from the Screen Actors Guild.

Borgnine died of renal failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with his wife and children at his side, said spokesman Harry Flynn.

With his beefy build and a huge orb of a head that looked hard enough to shatter granite, Borgnine naturally was cast as heavies early on, notably as Sgt. Fatso Judson, the brute who beat Frank Sinatra‘s character to death in 1953’s Pearl Harbor saga “From Here to Eternity.”

More bad guy roles followed, but Borgnine showed his true pussycat colors as lovesick Marty Piletti, a Bronx butcher who, against all odds and his own expectations, finds romance with a wallflower in “Marty,” adapted from Paddy Chayefsky‘s television play. Borgnine won the best-actor Oscar, and the film picked up three other awards, including best picture.

It turned out to be Borgnine’s only Oscar nomination, yet it was a star-making part that broke him out of the villain mold. Borgnine went on to roles in such films as “The Dirty Dozen,” ”The Wild Bunch,” ”The Flight of the Phoenix,” ”The Poseidon Adventure” and “Escape from New York,” but after “Marty,” the veteran sailor’s most memorable character appropriately came with the title role of the 1960s TV comedy “McHale’s Navy” and its big-screen spinoff.

Mischievous con man McHale, commander of a World War II PT boat manned by misfits and malcontents, was far closer in spirit than shy Marty or savage Fatso to the real Borgnine, who had a cackling laugh and a reputation as a prankster.

Despite his big-hearted nature, Borgnine was typecast as a thug from the start, playing bad guys in a series of Westerns including Randolph Scott‘s “The Stranger Wore a Gun,” Joan Crawfordand Sterling Hayden’s “Johnny Guitar” and Gary Cooper‘s “Vera Cruz” and Victor Mature and Susan Hayward‘s historical saga “Demetrius and the Gladiators.”

Borgnine was playing another nasty character opposite Spencer Tracy in “Bad Day at Black Rock” when he auditioned for “Marty.” In a 2004 interview, Borgnine recalled that Chayefsky and “Marty” director Delbert Mann thought of him as an actor whose lone screen specialty was to “kill people.”

The filmmakers had hoped to cast Rod Steiger, who played the lead in the TV version of “Marty,” but he had just landed a part Borgnine himself coveted — the bad guy Jud Fry in “Oklahoma!” Mann and Chayefsky flew to the “Black Rock” location to audition Borgnine, who showed up wearing a “cowboy suit, cowboy hat, three-day growth of beard, cowboy boots,” the actor recalled. He even began the audition in a Western drawl before shifting to Marty’s Bronx accent.

Borgnine said he knew immediately he had won over Mann and Chayefsky, and “Marty” charmed audiences who saw for the first time that he could play the teddy bear as well as the beast.

No one knew Borgnine could act at all — himself included — until he came home from World War II after his 10-year Navy stint. He enlisted in 1935, was discharged in 1941, then re-enlisted when the war began, serving on a destroyer.

As he contemplated what to do after the war, Borgnine’s mother suggested acting.

“She said, ‘You always like getting in front of people and making a fool of yourself, why don’t you give it a try?'” Borgnine recalled last year, shortly before receiving his SAG lifetime honor. “I was sitting at the kitchen table and I saw this light. No kidding. It sounds crazy. And 10 years later, I had Grace Kelly handing me an Academy Award.”

Mann and Chayefsky also won Oscars, and modest, gentle “Marty” claimed the best-picture prize over big-budget contenders “The Rose Tattoo,” ”Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing,” ”Picnic” and “Mister Roberts.”

“Marty” made his career, but the success also brought complications for Borgnine.

“The Oscar made me a star, and I’m grateful,” Borgnine said in 1966. “But I feel had I not won the Oscar I wouldn’t have gotten into the messes I did in my personal life.”

Those messes included four failed marriages, including one in 1964 to singer Ethel Merman that lasted less than six weeks.

But Borgnine’s fifth marriage, in 1973 to Norwegian-born Tova Traesnaes, endured and brought with it an interesting business partnership. She manufactured and sold her own beauty products under the name of Tova and used her husband’s rejuvenated face in her ads.

During a 2007 interview with The Associated Press, Borgnine expressed delight that their union had reached 34 years. “That’s longer than the total of my four other marriages,” he commented, laughing heartily.

Borgnine played a sensitive role opposite Bette Davis in another film based on a Chayefsky TV drama, “The Catered Affair,” a film that was a personal favorite. It concerned a New York taxi driver and his wife who argued over the expense of their daughter’s wedding.

Among Borgnine’s other films were “Three Bad Men,” ”The Vikings,” ”Torpedo Run” and “Barabbas,” ”Ice Station Zebra,” ”The Adventurers,” ”Willard” and “The Greatest” (as Muhammad Ali‘s manager).

More recently, Borgnine had a recurring role as the apartment house doorman-cum-chef in the NBC sitcom “The Single Guy.” He had a small role in the unsuccessful 1997 movie version of “McHale’s Navy.” And he was the voice of Mermaid Man on “SpongeBob SquarePants” and Carface in “All Dogs Go to Heaven 2.”

“I don’t care whether a role is 10 minutes long or two hours,” he said in 1973. “And I don’t care whether my name is up there on top, either. Matter of fact, I’d rather have someone else get top billing; then if the picture bombs, he gets the blame, not me.”

In 2007, Borgnine became the oldest Golden Globe nominee ever, at 90, for the TV movie “A Grandpa for Christmas.” It came 52 years after his only other Globe nomination, for “Marty,” which he won.

He didn’t win that second time, but Borgnine was as gracious as could be about it.

“Hey, I already got one,” Borgnine said. “I was nominated and I think that’s wonderful. You don’t have to win them all.”

Ermes Efron Borgnino was born in Hamden, Conn., on Jan. 24, 1917, the son of Italian immigrant parents. The family lived in Milan when the boy was 2 to 7, then returned to Connecticut, where he attended school in New Haven.

When Borgnine joined the Navy, he weighed 135 pounds; when he left 10 years later, he weighed 100 pounds more.

“I wouldn’t trade those 10 years for anything,” he said in 1956. “The Navy taught me a lot of things. It molded me as a man, and I made a lot of wonderful friends.”

For a time he contemplated taking a job with an air-conditioning company. But his mother persuaded him to enroll at the Randall School of Dramatic Arts in Hartford. He stayed four months, the only formal training he received.

He appeared in repertory at the Barter Theater in Virginia, toured as a hospital attendant in “Harvey” and played a villain on TV’s “Captain Video.”

After earning $2,300 in 1951, Borgnine almost accepted a position with an electrical company. But the job fell through, and he returned to acting, moving into a modest house in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley.

His first marriage was to Rhoda Kenins, whom he met when she was a Navy pharmacist’s mate and he was a patient. They had a daughter, but the marriage ended in divorce after his “Marty” stardom.

Borgnine married Mexican actress Katy Jurado in 1959, and their marriage resulted in headlined squabbles from Hollywood to Rome before it ended in 1964.

In 1963, he and Merman startled the show business world by announcing, after a month’s acquaintance, that they would marry when his divorce from Jurado became final. The Broadway singing star and the movie tough guy seemed to have nothing in common, and their marriage ended in 38 days after a fierce battle.

“If you blinked, you missed it,” Merman once cracked.

Next came one-time child actress Donna Rancourt, with whom Borgnine had a daughter, and finally his happy union with Tova.

On Jan. 24, 2007, Borgnine celebrated his 90th birthday with a party for friends and family at a West Hollywood bistro. Still boisterous, Borgnine made a rare concession to age at 88 when he gave up driving the bus he would take around the country, stopping to talk with local folks along the way.

During an interview at the time, Borgnine complained that he wanted to continue acting but roles were tough to find at his age.

“I just want to do more work,” he said. “Every time I step in front of a camera I feel young again. I really do. It keeps your mind active and it keeps you going.”

 

Same holds true with Leprechauns and Dragons, in that exact order.

Biggest turn on for guys!

Now in the interest of equal time/opposing viewpoints…yadda…yadda…yadda:

and once again, Détente in the war between the sexes is momentarily achieved!

 

It started (I THINK) with the Rudy Eugene, who authorities suspect may have been high on a dangerous new street drug known as “bath salts,”who tried eating the homeless man’s face in Miami back on May 30th and had to be shot 4 times to stop him (apparently Miami Police have yet to be trained in the art of putting down zombies). Now it seems like once a week someone is going “zombie” and doing the gnaw on inappropriate flesh thing. They blame “bath salts’, synthetic marijuana called K-2 or that the person is suffering from “excited delirium”.

Texas man barks at neighbor, eats dog

A Waco resident has been charged with cruelty to a nonlivestock animal in an incident in which a man claiming to be on a synthetic form of marijuana called K-2 chased a neighbor while barking and growling and then attacked a family dog, which he beat, strangled and then started to eat, KWTX-TV is reporting.

Michael Terron Daniel, 22, was arrested Monday without incident, the Waco station says.

On June 14, a caller told police that a man was “going crazy,” KWTX says. The man, who claimed to have ingested K-2, “got down on his hands and knees and chased a neighbor while barking and growling like a dog,” a witness told police.

The man took a black dog to the front porch of the home, beat and strangled the animal and then “began to bite into the dog, ripping pieces of the flesh away,” Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton told the station.

Officers reportedly found Daniel sitting on the porch with blood on his face, hands and clothing, KWTX says.

Even our usually ‘last on board’ government has been taking notice of the whole zombie issue, as I reported 2 weeks ago here FEMA- Fantastically Epic (at) Mismanagement (of) Apocalypses- I MEAN The Federal Emergency Management Agency has acknowledged the publics concern by releasing a graphic novel, “Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic” which demonstrates the importance of being prepared for any large scale Emergency, including apparently the possibility of an imminent synthetic recreational pharmaceuticals inducing excited delirium attacks by druggies the rest of us would call the Zombie Apocalypse.

A Zombie by any reason or cause regardless of what portion of my still living breathing anatomy he’s trying to munch on is still a damned ZOMBIE!  I think we can all agree that the only good Zombie IS A DEAD ZOMBIE! Unless of course Holder & Obama can figure out a way to sign them up to vote Democratic and use them just like the young illegal aliens and those posing as dead voters (or in this case UNdead voters) to stuff his ballots come November, then they’ll wind up with some PC name and killing them will be an abuse or their rights or profiling or some shit.

All I know is if it LOOKS like a zombie, shuffles like a zombie, moans unintelligibly like a zombie or tries to eat someone (ESPECIALLY me or Molly) like a zombie, I’m going to exterminate it like a zombie (blow its head clean off) and claim an “ standing my ground in the face of an imminent danger of zombie apocalypse” self defense defense if it ever comes trial time I kid you not.

Buying an election- the Illegal Immigrant Appeasement Way

Arpaio: Obama Is ‘Arrogant’ on Immigration

Tuesday, 26 Jun 2012 11:25 AM By Paul Scicchitano and Kathleen Walter

http://www.newsmax.com/Newswidget/arpaio-immigration-obama-arrogant/2012/06/25/id/443436?promo_code=EB8D-1%20&utm_source=NationalReview&utm_medium=nmwidget&utm_campaign=widgetphase1

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio tells Newsmax.TV that Monday’s unanimous Supreme Court decision upholding a key provision of his state’s tough immigration law won’t change day-to-day enforcement efforts, but he called the Obama administration’s plan to ignore calls from Grand Canyon State police “arrogant.”
Published reports quoting unnamed Obama administration officials indicate that the federal government is suspending agreements with Arizona police over the enforcement of federal immigration laws, and that the Homeland Security Department has been told to decline many of the calls it receives from Arizona police over illegal immigrants.
“I don’t like to use the word arrogant, but it looks like they’re somewhat arrogant,” snapped the Maricopa County sheriff in an exclusive interview on Monday. “They took me to court last month — federal court, after a three-and-a-half year investigation stating that we systemically racial profile.”

Arpaio, who didn’t immediately know what effect if any Monday’s ruling would have on the Justice Department action against him, said he predicted the Obama administration might try to essentially circumvent the Supreme Court ruling and “I’m not too happy with this,” he acknowledged.
“What good is officers under the Supreme Court ruling to stop people on crimes — and then determine if they’re here illegally working with ICE — if the federal government will not take them off the law enforcement’s hands? So I have a concern about that, but I have a few strategies in mind if that happens with my organization,” he said. “But it doesn’t surprise me.”
The high court unanimously upheld the most controversial aspect of Arizona’s tough immigration law requiring police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop in an opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
But in a split decision, the justices also ruled that the three other challenged provisions went too far in intruding on federal law, including one provision that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to work, and another that requires them to carry their documents.
“I’m glad they protected one section, but on the other hand we’ve been doing this — my office — for four or five years — enforcing the state laws,” Arpaio explained. “It’s not going to make much of a difference with us — how we do business, fighting illegal immigration.”
Arpaio promotes himself as “America’s toughest sheriff.” He has limited county inmates to two meals a day, banned “sexually explicit material” in prison, reinstituted chain gangs, and set up a “tent city” as an extension of the Maricopa County Jail.
“People will say it’s a victory for the federal government because of three other issues that were dismissed, but I think this is important to reaffirm what we’ve been doing for all these years,” he said of the Supreme Court ruling.
He also said he wasn’t surprised that the high court voted unanimously to uphold the requirement for police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop.
“I’m going to keep doing what we’ve been doing. Nothing changes,” he assured, acknowledging that the ruling will not stop future lawsuits.
“They sue me. They harass me. They call me every name in the book. They demonstrate against me — [Rev. Al] Sharpton. I can go on and on. They’ve been doing that for years against me — just because I’m doing my job,” he said. “So I’m sure it’s going to continue. They’re going to find other reasons now with this Supreme Court ruling to go after me. But that’s okay.”
Arpaio became sheriff of Maricopa County — Arizona’s largest, which centers on Phoenix — in 1993. He has been re-elected five times and is up before voters again in November.
He insists that his agency has already undergone intensive training to avoid racial profiling, a potential concern raised by Justice Kennedy.
“When you look at training, we probably have the best trained agency in the country because ICE has trained 100 of my deputies and 100 of my officers in the jail for five-week training,” he said. “Who else can say that?”
Even so, he fears that the ultimate end game of the Obama administration is to grant amnesty to illegal aliens.
“What I’m concerned about that this is just a road to amnesty,” he declared. “This is the ultimate goal of the White House, so we have to watch that, and see how that progresses —and every little step they’re taking. One by one, they’re chipping away — all geared to have amnesty.”

My Call to the Department of Justice Racism And Civil Liberties HOTLINE!!

When the news broke that the Department of Justice had set up a “hotline” to call in abuses of civil liberties in Arizona after the Supreme Court ruled on SB1070, I didn’t think much of it.
Then I called in. I can’t believe what I heard.
Luckily, I recorded it.

 

Justice Scalia: Obama’s Immigration Stance ‘Boggles the Mind’

Monday, 25 Jun 2012 06:15 PM By Marti Lotman

http://www.newsmax.com/Newswidget/scalia-immigration-dissent-obama/2012/06/25/id/443435

Justice Antonin Scalia took President Barack Obama to task in a scathing 22-page dissent to Monday’s Supreme Court decision striking down the majority of Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, calling Obama’s failure to enforce parts of the Immigration Act “mind boggling.”
“The president said at a news conference that the new program is ‘the right thing to do’ in light of Congress’s failure to pass the administration’s proposed revision of the Immigration Act,” Scalia wrote in his dissent. “Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the Court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of the Immigration Act that the President declines to enforce boggles the mind.”
The Reagan appointee went on to write:
“Arizona bears the brunt of the country’s illegal immigration problem. Its citizens feel themselves under siege by large numbers of illegal immigrants who invade their property, strain their social services, and even place their lives in jeopardy. Federal officials have been unable to remedy the problem, and indeed have recently shown that they are unwilling to do so. Thousands of Arizona’s estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants—including not just children but men and women under 30—are now assured immunity from enforcement, and will be able to compete openly with Arizona citizens for employment.”
Scalia called Obama’s immigration enforcement policy “lax,” alleging that the federal government does not want to enforce immigration laws, which could leave the States “helpless before those evil effects of illegal immigration.”
Scalia argued that the entire Arizona immigration law should have been upheld because the state is “entitled” to craft its own immigration policy.
The majority of the justices ruled Monday that Arizona’s law is unconstitutional with the exception of the provision that allows police officers to ask about an individual’s immigration status if they are pulled over during a traffic stop.

Of course his stance is unreasonable and irrational…unless you seek the motive behind the method. All he needs now is to get his pals at A.C.O.R.N out there to register them and he has a personal army of votes and has effectively bought an election at the low low cost of the sovereignty of our borders! For all his arrogance he’s NOT a stupid man, he knows that with popular opinion against him on so many issues and his approval rating at less than 50% and severely anemic as compared to other Presidents in July of a reelection year his only hope of winning is to blatantly stuff the ballot box.

I can hear you naysayers and Doubting Thomas types now “Oh Lethal your mistaken, he’s not that Machiavellian it’s just a Democratic Party plank. There is no way he’d try something so obvious. You see evil ulterior motivations in everything!” 

Really? Pray tell then why else is Eric Holder using what time and resources the “Department of ‘Justice’ ( I use that term in the vaguest broadest interpretation of its meaning since there has been very little justice done by the DoJ under Holder) has that are not tied up in obstructing Congress’s investigation into the ‘Fast & Furious” fiasco to prevent states from implementing any Voter ID requirements or from purging their rolls of the deceased or people who have filed change of address information showing they have left that state?

Common sense ( a phrase not associated with the Obama Administration) has clearly shown that A.G. Holder & the DoJ’s arguments with regard to why these things cannot and should not be done (notice they have never said they are ILLEGAL or unconstitutional) are about as full of bio-waste as a baby’s morning diaper. So what other motivation for blocking States rights yet again could there possibly be unless Obama is seeking another Chicago-A.C.O.R.N incident from his first election abet on a national/nation wide scale this time around? Such a move is consistent with the arrogance and hubris of Obama as well as his distain for the Constitution.

P.S.: You think this weeks banner theme was cheesy? Just wait until next weeks! I think Impish is even getting in on that act too!

Good Morning Campers! It’s been a busy week around Dragon and Leprechaun Laffs Electronic Media, LLP.  We’ve had the 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, Karl and Rosa (K² and his lovely wife) celebrated their 14th Anniversary on 5th of July, I had a procedure on my knee, also on the 5th which has put me on quarters for a week. Meaning that I’m on instructions from my doctor to keep my leg up and stay off it for a week.  The military calls that being placed on “quarters.” Needless to say, it’s already driving me nuts.  I’ve been sleeping (due to pain meds) watching movies, reading, working on Dragon Laffs and making different projects with 550 paracord, (also known as guy knitting, or guy macramé.  Here’s an example that I’m especially proud of:

You might just see these for sale sometime soon.  We’ll see
So, I just had to share part of the finale of the fireworks from a little town called Walton, in Indiana that is pretty much right around the corner from us and just a little bitty town, but they put on one heck of a fireworks show every year…

Then I was texting a friend of mine…you’ve met him, he’s had a couple of opinion pieces on here before.  I believe I’ve introduced him as either Todd or Wheats or maybe both.  Anyway, he swore to me that a hot dog just drove by where he was having lunch and I told him that he needed to quit smoking that wacky stuff for lunch.  Well, he got so incensed that he was, in fact sober and just happened to run into this vehicle on his way back to work:

It’s truly amazing the things that you can run into in our country.

Anyway, I guess you’ve heard enough about my week and we should really get to the stuff that you’ve all tuned in to see.

So, what do you say we get on with it…

Oh boy! This one is called:
So my ex-wife had to call the bank concerning our joint account:

I did my level best to verify this.  As far as I can tell, it’s all true:

 

He flew around a bit to get the feel of it and when he went to land he realized he needed a co-pilot to lower the landing gear. He crashed and totaled his plane and another on the ground. They wrote them both off as “wind damaged” and told him to pick out another. He talked a friend into being his co-pilot and off they went.

They flew to Palm Springs where Lacey wrote a hot check for gas. Then they headed for Oregon. They hit a snow storm and couldn’t find their way, so they went down below 1,000 feet and followed the railroad tracks. His partner sat in the nose section and would yell, “TUNNEL” when he saw one and Lacey would climb over the mountain.

They landed safely, he made good the hot check he wrote, and they started getting permits to move a B-17 on the state highway. The highway department repeatedly denied his permit and fought him tooth and nail for a long time, so late one Saturday night, he just moved it himself. He got a $10 ticket from the police for having too wide a load.

My Dad, the golfer, sent me this one, also:
A Golfer accidentally overturned his cart.

Elizabeth, a “beautiful” real golfer who lived in a villa on the
golf course heard the noise and yelled over to him.

Hey, are you okay, what’s your name?”
“Willis,” he replied.
“Willis forget your troubles. Come to my villa, rest up and I’ll help you get the cart up later.”
“That’s mighty nice of you,” Willis answered, “but I don’t think my wife would like it.”
“Aw come on,” Elizabeth insisted.
She was very pretty and persuasive.
“Well okay,” Willis finally agreed, and added, “but my wife won’t like it.”
After a hearty drink AND sexy driving and putting lessons, Willis thanked his host. “I feel a lot better now, but I know my wife is going to be real upset.”
“Don’t be foolish!” Elizabeth said with a smile , she wont know any thing. By the way, where is she?”
“Under the cart!”

Bouncing back to last week…
I received this from Dad this week, as another look at Chief Justice Roberts opinion and what it means.  I know Dad’s not the author, and is just passing it along, but for the sake of the stagecraft, “Take it away, Dad!”

Before you look to do harm to Chief Justice Roberts or his family, it’s important that you think carefully about the meaning – the true nature — of his ruling on Obama-care. The Left will shout that they won, that Obama-care was upheld and all the rest. Let them.
It will be a short-lived celebration.
Here’s what really occurred — payback. Yes, payback for Obama’s numerous, ill-advised and childish insults directed toward SCOTUS.
Chief Justice Roberts actually ruled the mandate, relative to the commerce clause, was unconstitutional. That’s how the Democrats got Obama-care going in the first place. This is critical. His ruling means Congress can’t compel American citizens to purchase anything. Ever. The notion is now officially and forever, unconstitutional. As it should be.
Next, he stated that, because Congress doesn’t have the ability to mandate, it must, to fund Obama-care, rely on its power to tax. Therefore, the mechanism that funds Obama-care is a tax. This is also critical. Recall back during the initial Obama-care battles, the Democrats called it a penalty, Republicans called it a tax. Democrats consistently soft sold it as a penalty. It went to vote as a penalty. Obama declared endlessly, that it was not a tax, it was a penalty. But when the Democrats argued in front of the Supreme Court, they said ‘hey, a penalty or a tax, either way’. So, Roberts gave them a tax. It is now the official law of the land — beyond word-play and silly shenanigans. Obama-care is funded by tax dollars. Democrats now must defend a tax increase to justify the Obama-care law.
Finally, he struck down as unconstitutional, the Obama-care idea that the federal government can bully states into complying by yanking their existing medicaid funding. Liberals, through Obama-care, basically said to the states — ‘comply with Obama-care or we will stop existing funding.’ Roberts ruled that is a no-no. If a state takes the money, fine, the Feds can tell the state how to run a program, but if the state refuses money, the federal government can’t penalize the state by yanking other funding. Therefore, a state can decline to participate in Obama-care without penalty. This is obviously a serious problem. Are we going to have 10, 12, 25 states not participating in “national” health-care? Suddenly, it’s not national, is it?
Ultimately, Roberts supported states rights by limiting the federal government’s coercive abilities. He ruled that the government can not force the people to purchase products or services under the commerce clause and he forced liberals to have to come clean and admit that Obama-care is funded by tax increases.
Although he didn’t guarantee Romney a win, he certainly did more than his part and should be applauded.
And he did this without creating a civil war or having bricks thrown threw his windshield. Oh, and he’ll be home in time for dinner.
Brilliant.

And a really, really nice opinion piece Charles Hurt of the Washington Times

 

Observations from our own schizoid Gracie/Jeannie… or … is it … Jeannie/Gracie?  I don’t know, but some of them are pretty good:

 

In pharmacology, all drugs tend to have a generic name.  For example, Tylenol is called acetamophen, Aleve is naproxen, Amoxil is amoxicillin and Advil is called ibuprofen. 
The Israeli drug agency had been looking for some time for a generic name for Viagra and after many months, they settled on the generic name mycoxafloppin.




NOTE: They had also given thought to these other generic names – mycoxafailin, mydixadrupin, mydixarizin, mydixadud, dixafix and ibepokin.

No, I don’t know why it’s the Israeli drug agency, that’s the way the joke came to me.

Okay, so I really like this one

Real cowboys have no fear!

and finally, just a quick reminder of what’s coming…

and what you can do…

 

We spend so much of our time, now-a-days, complaining about the world around us and how terrible people are, that we can’t help but be depressed and disappointed in human kind.  But are all people as despicable as politicians?  Have we all gone over to the dark side?   Apparently not, as these pictures show, there is still a part of humanity that is worth celebrating.  A portion of the world that is exemplary.  My wish and hope is that we all get stimulated into doing something worthwhile ourselves, by the wonderful example that is set for us here.

Let’s start with this sign at a book store that is not only refreshingly charitable, but emphasizes what myself and many other people believe is a very important habit to pick up.  That of reading!

The moment in which this Ohio athlete stopped to help an injured competitor across the finish line during a track meet.

17-year-old Meghan Vogel was in last place in the 3,200-meter run when she caught up to competitor Arden McMath, whose body was giving out. Instead of running past her to avoid the last-place finish, Vogel put McMath’s arm around her shoulders, carried her 30 meters, and then pushed her over the finish line before crossing it.

Okay, so how about this next one?  This note that was handed to a waiter along with a $20 bill by an elderly lady in his restaurant…

Very touching!

Then there is this awesome sign in front of an awesome Subway Restaurant!

This picture of a villager carrying stranded kittens to dry land during floods in Cuttack City, India.  

There are people out there who help in whatever manner they are able.  It does my heart good to see these examples of such selflessness. Plaza Cleaners in Portland, OR, helped over 2,000 unemployed workers who couldn’t afford dry cleaning. The store’s owner estimated that it cost his company $32,000 dollars.

This photograph of a man giving his shoes to a homeless girl in Rio de Janeiro.

These photos of two children collaborating to rescue a dog who had fallen into a ravine.

This note on a young family’s check.

Then there is this one.  That touched me the most!  How awesome is this exchange between a protester and a soldier during a protest in Brazil… this is really powerful!

And finally, we are going to end today’s issue of Dragon Laffs with this picture of these two friends that has a really, really high Awwww! factor.

Be well my friends!  Enjoy your weekend!
Cheers!

If the rest of you need a new coffee mug I suggest the DragonLaffs store!

Independence Day

Independence Day is annually celebrated on July 4 and is often known as “the Fourth of July”. It is the anniversary of the publication of the declaration of independence from Great Britain in 1776. Patriotic displays and family events are organized throughout the United States. Many people display the American flag on their homes. The celebrations have deep roots in the American tradition of political freedom.

Background

In 1775, people in New England began fighting the British for their independence. On July 2, 1776, the Congress secretly voted for independence from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence was first published two days later on July 4, 1776. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence was on July 8, 1776. Delegates began to sign the Declaration of Independence on August 2, 1776. In 1870, Independence Day was made an unpaid holiday for federal employees. In 1941, it became a paid holiday for them.

The first description of how Independence Day would be celebrated was in a letter from John Adams to his wife Abigail on July 3, 1776. He described “pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations” throughout the United States. However, the term “Independence Day” was not used until 1791.

Interestingly, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, both signers of the Declaration of Independence and presidents of the United States, died on July 4, 1826 – exactly 50 years after the adoption of the declaration. It is also important to note that Native Americans lived in the country and each tribe had its own nation and government prior to the European settlers.

 

Symbols

The most common Independence Day symbol is the American flag. Its design is displayed in all possible ways on July 4 and can be seen in front of homes and buildings. Other symbols associated with Independence Day are the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island in New York and the fireworks viewed all over the United States. Sometimes large civic works such as the Erie Canal and the Washington Monument are  started on July 4, emphasizing their contribution to the economy and culture of the United States.

What do people do?

Very few people have to work on Independence Day. It is a day of family celebrations with picnics and barbecues, showing a great deal of emphasis on the American tradition of political freedom. Activities associated with the day include watermelon or hotdog eating competitions [I understand Impish is trying out for the Nathan’s 97th annual July Fourth International Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4, 2012 at the Nathan’s Famous flagship in Coney Island, NY. With all that pie he’s been gorging on lately I’m dubious of his chances of making the cut frankfurterly-LL] and sporting events, such as baseball games, three-legged races, swimming activities and tug-of-war games.

Many people display the American flag outside their homes or buildings. Many communities arrange fireworks that are often accompanied by patriotic music. The most impressive fireworks are shown on television. Some employees use one or more of their vacation days to create a long weekend so that they can escape the heat at their favorite beach or vacation spot.

Some chose to demonstrate their patriotism and American pride in other ways:

  or like this:  

Independence Day is a patriotic holiday for celebrating the positive aspects of the United States. Many politicians appear at public events to show their support for the history, heritage and people of their country. Above all, people in the United States express and give thanks for the freedom and liberties fought by the first generation of many of today’s Americans.

This is generally not seen as  as much of a”honor the military” holiday as Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day despite the heavy presence of the military at many of the day’s events. They too are taking the opportunity to honor our Country. her history and the things she is SUPPOSED to stand for.

 

While Memorial Day IS arguably thought of as the first day of Summer, its summer in low gear just coming out of the hole. On the other hand the 4th of July heralds in the beginning of a much more important season- 

Let the surreptitious ogling of scantily clad beach babes behind mirrored shades commence!

 

Geeze Impish! You’ll do ANYTHING to get in the spot light won’t you?

The American’s Creed

I BELIEVE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE; WHOSE JUST POWERS ARE DERIVED FROM THE CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED; A DEMOCRACY IN A REPUBLIC, A SOVEREIGN NATION OF MANY SOVEREIGN STATES; A PERFECT UNION, ONE AND INSEPARABLE; ESTABLISHED UPON THOSE PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM, EQUALITY, JUSTICE, AND HUMANITY FOR WHICH AMERICAN PATRIOTS SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES AND FORTUNES.

I THEREFORE BELIEVE IT IS MY DUTY TO MY COUNTRY TO LOVE IT, TO SUPPORT ITS CONSTITUTION; TO OBEY ITS LAWS; TO RESPECT ITS FLAG; AND TO DEFEND IT AGAINST ALL ENEMIES.

The Creed was written in 1918 by William Tyler Page of Friendship Heights, Maryland in the course of a nationwide contest on the subject. Page was a descendent of President Tyler, and Representative John Page, who served in the Congress from 1789-97.

William Tyler Page began his government career as a Congressional page in December of 1881. In 1919, he was elected Clerk of the House of Representatives, and held that position until December of 1931. a new post, Emeritus Minority Clerk, was then created for him which he occupied until his death on October 20, 1942.

 

“The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment not of sentiment, but of history.” – President Woodrow Wilson

“Freedom is the deepest and noblest aspiration of the human spirit.” – President Ronald Reagan

 

Ahh yes, the traditional family 4th of July BBQ! A time for Dad’s to treat their families and loved ones like Gods- by serving them burnt offerings! 

Well what? Did your REALLY believe that I would expect you to subsist on coffee and thoughts of fireworks? 

Oven Glazed Chicken Wings

Prep: 15 minutes  Bake: 45 minutes  Makes: 24 pieces

1 cup V8® 100% Vegetable Juice

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon ground ginger

12 chicken wings (about 2 pounds)

• Stir the vegetable juice, honey, soy sauce and ginger in a large bowl.
• Cut the tips off the wings and discard or save for another use. Cut the wings in half at the joints to make 24 pieces. Add the wings to the juice mixture and toss to coat. Place the chicken mixture in a foil-lined shallow baking pan.
• Bake at 400°F. for 45 minutes or until glazed and the chicken is cooked through, turning and brushing with the sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking time.

RECIPE TIPS

• Want a little zing? Add Tabasco or Cayenne Pepper sauce to suit your taste or use the Spicy variation of V-8. Fresh ground ginger will also kick up your heat level more than the spice jar stuff will.
• Make ahead! Start these the day before and cook 3/4 done then refrigerate. Finish the next day on the grill being sure to save back some of the glazing liquid for grilling time.

Wild West Picante Burgers

Prep: 10 minutes Grill: 10 minutes Makes: 4 servings

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup Pace® Picante Sauce or Pace® Chunky Salsa

4 Pepperidge Farm® Hamburger Rolls, split

• Mix the beef and picante sauce thoroughly in a medium bowl. Shape the beef mixture firmly into 4 (1/2-inch thick) burgers.
• Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the burgers for 10 minutes or until desired doneness, turning them over once halfway through grilling and brushing often with additional picante sauce.
• Serve the burgers on the buns with additional picante sauce.

RECIPE TIPS

• Serving Suggestion: Serve with coleslaw or fresh vegetables and ranch dressing for dipping and corn-on-the-cob. For dessert serve sliced watermelon or fresh fruit salad.

 Take my advice, right off double this recipe, you start cooking these and 4 will not be enough. Besides the buns come in 8 packs!

Second toss in 1/2 a package of Beefy Onion Soup mix (I mix it with the Salsa in a separate bowl before adding to insure it all dissolves and gets distributed evenly. Lastly you can top them with Picante but a thick salsa will make a better easier to handle burger when it comes to adding to the ground beef as their is less liquid to it. BTW with this recipe given the liquid from the salsa in the burgers, you can get away with a better leaner grade of ground beef and still get moist juicy burgers

Pepperjack or Horseradish-Onion cheese make great toppers to these burgers. Also take your Picante and mix it with a mashed avocado for an great healthy Tex-Mex replacement for mayo on these.

This Interactive Constitution is based on The Words We Live By: Your Annotated Guide to the Constitution by Linda R. Monk

http://ratify.constitutioncenter.org/constitution/index_no_flash.php

The Federalist Papers were written and published during the years 1787 and 1788 in several New York State newspapers to persuade New York voters to ratify the proposed constitution.

In total, the Federalist Papers consist of 85 essays outlining how this new government would operate and why this type of government was the best choice for the United States of America. All of the essays were signed “PUBLIUS” and the actual authors of some are under dispute, but the general consensus is that Alexander Hamilton wrote 52, James Madison wrote 28, and John Jay contributed the remaining five.

The copy of the Federalist Papers that is pictured above is a first edition in the collection of the Library of Congress. It was originally owned by Alexander Hamilton’s wife, Elizabeth, who gave it to her sister, Angelica Church, from whom her friend, Thomas Jefferson, acquired it. Apparently relying on information supplied by Madison, Jefferson assigned the pseudonymous “Publius” essays to Hamilton, Madison, and Jay in a list on the flyleaf of this volume

Other important documents of the period:

• The Bill of Rights
• Amendments to the Constitution
• Declaration of Independence
• The Anti-Federalist Papers

Uniquely American. Truly a must watch, listen and learn.

I’M NOT POSTING THIS AS AN ANTI ANYBODY MESSAGE!

Rather I’m posting this as appropriate for this particular day and holiday of all days and holidays we celebrate. I’m posting it because if more people do not listen to, understand and take heed of what is being said by this man regarding the root cause of ALL our current problems, political, social and economic both at home and internationally, then I find the prospect that we will last as a nation to celebrate our 250th birthday extremely unlikely and the possibility of our celebrating a National Tri-Centennial an absolute absurdity!

WORST OF ALL THIS WILL BE THE FAULT OF EVERY DAMNED LAST US CITIZEN, EACH AND EVERYONE OF US, IRREGARDLESS OF OUR PERSONAL POLITICS, RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU CARE TO POINT OUT AS SEPERATING ONE OF US FROM ANOTHER. 

ALL OF US WILL HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE!

Very important and Interesting perspective:

 

Recently Impish had the opportunity while at a conference to spend an afternoon exploring some of Gettysburg. You may remember my posting some photos and comments from him while he was away. This is a much more in depth piece on that experience featuring his thoughts as well as his own photos. While not Revolutionary War we felt that the Civil War had as much to do with shaping your modern America as the Revolutionary did in starting it and as though this was a good issue to feature this material.

As you walk out on to the bluff, overlooking the valley where so many had fought and died, there is a palpable feeling, a pressure…a presence if you will. You can feel it pressing in on the nerve endings of your body.

People were here. You almost expect to see men in blue or gray step out from behind boulders and trees, hurrying to load cannons.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought from July 1st to July 3rd 1863. It hadn’t even been a hundred years since we declared our independence from the king who ruled in England. (Or, as my British friends would say, “since the ungrateful upstarts decided to move out on their own.”) And here we were again, engaged in a bloody war on our own soil.

This time it’s brother against brother, father against son, families split along political and geographical lines and at this place and this time, it’s the bloodiest battle of the bloodiest war in our history.

A quick history of the Battle of Gettysburg from Wikipedia:

After his success at Chancellorsville in Virginia in May 1863, Lee led his army through the Shenandoah Valley to begin his second invasion of the North—the Gettysburg Campaign. With his army in high spirits, Lee intended to shift the focus of the summer campaign from war-ravaged northern Virginia and hoped to influence Northern politicians to give up their prosecution of the war by penetrating as far as Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, or even Philadelphia. Prodded by President Abraham Lincoln, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker moved his army in pursuit, but was relieved just three days before the battle and replaced by Meade.

Elements of the two armies initially collided at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863, as Lee urgently concentrated his forces there, his objective being to engage the Union army and destroy it. Low ridges to the northwest of town were defended initially by a Union cavalry division under Brig. Gen. John Buford, and soon reinforced with two corps of Union infantry. However, two large Confederate corps assaulted them from the northwest and north, collapsing the hastily developed Union lines, sending the defenders retreating through the streets of town to the hills just to the south.

On the second day of battle, most of both armies had assembled. The Union line was laid out in a defensive formation resembling a fishhook. In the late afternoon of July 2, Lee launched a heavy assault on the Union left flank, and fierce fighting raged at Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, Devil’s Den, and the Peach Orchard. On the Union right, demonstrations escalated into full-scale assaults on Culp’s Hill and Cemetery Hill. All across the battlefield, despite significant losses, the Union defenders held their lines.

On the third day of battle, July 3, fighting resumed on Culp’s Hill, and cavalry battles raged to the east and south, but the main event was a dramatic infantry assault by 12,500Confederates against the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge, known as Pickett’s Charge. The charge was repulsed by Union rifle and artillery fire, at great losses to the Confederate army. Lee led his army on a torturous retreat back to Virginia. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers from both armies were casualties in the three-day battle.

The battle field is littered with memorials, markers, headstones and statues memorializing the battle and the men and women who took part. Walking through the fields is like walking through a giant graveyard.
You feel puny besides these giant markers of giant people. Right or wrong, they fought and they died for what they believed in, for what, in their hearts, they knew was right.

Can we be that different ourselves? Is it not truly obvious, when we look in our own hearts, what’s right and what’s wrong? On this day, we celebrate the decision our forefathers made 236 years ago to do the right thing.
That time is once again upon us my friends. Look inside your own hearts and I know you will see what the right thing to do is. In November we will have the chance at our own revolution. At our own, Civil War. The power is in our hands, all we must do is the right thing to do. All we must do is the best we can do.

Until next time my friends.

ATTENTION ON DECK! (That mean get your butts out of those chairs civilians, stand up straight & sans coffee mug!)

RENDER HONORS TO PORT! PRESENT ARMS! (Civilians and you ground pounders should turn to the left. You ground pounders know what render honors means, the rest of you civilians place your right hand over your hearts)

SARGENT AT WING DRAGON! Take over!

Color Guard To Post!

 

PARADE REST! AS YOU WERE! CARRY ON!  DISMISSED! (You civilians can park your butts and resume greedily slurping your coffee or head out to your picnics and such now- were done with the issue. )

What? I forgot about the fireworks? Did not! I was just waiting for dark!

 

See this years “A Capitol Fourth” on your local PBS station starting at 8 PM Eastern

Well I think that about covers just about all the bases save for one last thing. Then its time to go do some celebrating of my own!

Good Morning Campers!!! How about that retro header, huh?  Pretty cool, right?  Back when both of us worked on all the issues…Ah, well I thought it looked good on the top.
Got a really good issue for you guys today.  Lots of stuff to laugh at, some stuff to get serious over.  A couple of rants.  Overall, a pretty good issue.
It’s late, and we’re dodging lightning storms, so I’m going to quit this opening statement and get this baby to press, so whattaya say we get going and …

Paul sent us the above milk carton and before I had a chance to reply, Lethal Leprechaun replied and copied me (as we usually do with each other) and I thought it appropriate to add his reply here:

Tis a sad day indeed.  This obituary was recently printed in the London Times.  All I can say is that I knew he was sick, but didn’t realize how far he had slipped.  He will be sorely missed…

Sorry kid, the “I didn’t have time to do my homework” excuse just ain’t gonna work!

Article shows that there might just be hope for America after all!

IF  YOU DON’T STAND BEHIND OUR  TROOPS…..
  ……FEEL  FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM. 

It’s falling apart on the left all across the country…

One of my favorite jokes of all time!

Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition.

My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. His theory is that the car will be stolen.

I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.

There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard his voice. He barked, “I dropped you off!”

Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

He retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car.”

Yep, it’s the golden years.

The desire to use this to poke fun at Lethal Leprechaun was almost overwhelming!

I looked up this case on line and found a great article on Wikipedia here.  Go ahead and read through and we’ll talk again at the end.  As usual, you’ll see my comments inserted throughout the article…

You’re  sound asleep when you hear a thump  outside your bedroom door. Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with  fear, you hear  muffled whispers. 

At least  two people have broken into your  house  and are moving your  way.

With your heart pumping, you reach down beside  your bed and pick up your shotgun.  You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch toward the door and open it.

In the  darkness, you make out two  shadows. One holds  something that looks like a  crowbar.  When the  intruder brandishes it as if to  strike, you raise  the shotgun and fire. The blast  knocks both thugs to the  floor. One  writhes and screams while the second man crawls to the front door and lurches outside. (According to the Wikipedia article, Martin was shooting downwards (with birdshot) at the intruders who were at that moment trying to flee through a window.  One was shot in the leg, the other in the back.  The later made it through the window but died at the scene.)

As you pick up the telephone to call police, you know you’re in trouble.

In your  country, most guns were outlawed  years before,  and the few that are privately  owned are so  stringently regulated as to make them  useless..

Yours  was never registered.

Police  arrive and inform you that the  second burglar has  died. They  arrest you for First Degree Murder and  Illegal Possession of a  Firearm.

When you  talk to your attorney, he  tells you not to  worry: authorities will  probably plea  the case down to  manslaughter.

“What kind  of sentence will I get?” you ask.

“Only  ten-to-twelve years,” he  replies, as if that’s  nothing. “Behave  yourself, and you’ll be out in  seven.”

The next  day, the shooting is the  lead story in the local newspaper. Somehow,  you’re portrayed as an  eccentric vigilante  while the two men you shot are  represented as  choirboys. Their  friends and relatives can’t find an unkind  word to say about  them..

Buried  deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both “victims” have been arrested numerous  times.

But  the next day’s headline says it  all:

“Lovable Rogue Son Didn’t Deserve to  Die.”

The  thieves have been transformed from career  criminals into Robin Hood-type  pranksters..

As  the days wear on, the story take wings. The  national media picks it  up, then the  international media.  The  surviving burglar has  become a folk hero.  Your  attorney says the thief is  preparing to  sue you, and he’ll probably win. (He did attempt to sue, but dropped the suit when Martin counter sued) The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you’ve been critical of local police for their lack of effort in apprehending the  suspects.  After the  last break-in, you told your  neighbor that you would be prepared next  time. The  District Attorney uses this to allege that you  were lying in wait for the burglars.

A few  months later, you go to  trial.

The charges haven’t been reduced, as your  lawyer had so confidently  predicted. When  you take the stand, your anger at the  injustice of it all works against  you. Prosecutors  paint a picture of you as a mean, vengeful man. It  doesn’t take long for the jury to  convict you of all  charges.

The judge  sentences you to life in  prison. (Just to keep the record straight: On 10 Jan 2000, Brendon Fearon, 29, and Darren Bark, 33, (who acted as the getaway driver) admitted to conspiring to burgle Martin’s farmhouse.  Fearon was sentenced to three years in prison, and Bark to 30 months (with an additional 12 months arising from previous offences.  By the way, Fred Barras, the dead one, who was 16, had been arrested 29 times by the time he died.  He had also been sentenced to young offender’s institution for assulting a policeman, theft and being drunk and disorderly.  Okay, if he had been arrested 29 times by the time he was 16, WHAT THE HELL WAS HE EVEN DOING OUT OF PRISON???!!!  He should’ve been locked up a long time ago.  But the real problem is that these guys got less than 3 years

apiece and Martin, who was defending himself, got life!!!)

This case  really happened.

On August  22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk,  England, killed one burglar and wounded a  second.

In  April, 2000, he was  convicted and  is now serving a life  term… (Okay, again, not so true.  In October 2001 his case was appealed and reduced to manslaughter.  On 28 July 2003, Martin was released after serving three years of his five-year sentence, the maximum period for which he could be held following good behavior.)

How did it  become a crime to defend one’s own life  in the once great British Empire?

It started  with the Pistols Act of  1903.

This  seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols  to minors or felons and established that handgun  sales were to be made only to those who had a license.

The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns..

Later laws  passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.

Momentum  for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987.

Michael  Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets  shooting everyone he saw. When the  smoke cleared, 17 people were  dead.

The  British public, already de-sensitized by eighty  years of “gun control”, demanded even tougher  restrictions.

(The seizure of all privately  owned handguns was the objective even though  Ryan used a rifle.)

Nine years  later, at Dunblane, Scotland, Thomas  Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public  school.

For many  years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as  mentally unstable, or worse, criminals.

Now  the press had a real kook with which to beat up  law-abiding gun owners. Day after day, week  after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all  handguns.

The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months  later, sealed the fate of the few sidearms still  owned by private citizens.

During the  years in which the British government  incrementally took away most gun rights, the  notion that a citizen had the right to armed  self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism.  Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to  people who were threatened, claiming that  self-defense was no longer considered a reason  to own a gun. Citizens who shot burglars  or robbers or rapists were charged while the  real criminals were  released.

Indeed,  after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman  was quoted as saying, “We cannot have people take the law into their own  hands.” All of  Martin’s neighbors had been robbed numerous  times, and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who had no fear of the consequences.

Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had seen most of his collection trashed  or stolen by burglars.

When the  Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned  handguns were given three months to turn  them over to local  authorities. Being  good British subjects, most people obeyed  the law. The few who didn’t were visited by  police and threatened with ten-year prison  sentences if they didn’t  comply.

Police  later bragged that they’d taken nearly  200,000 handguns from private  citizens.

How did  the authorities know who had handguns?

The  guns had been registered and licensed.  Kind  of like cars. Sound  familiar?

WAKE UP  AMERICA;

THIS IS  WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND  AMENDMENT IN OUR  CONSTITUTION.

“…It  does not require a majority to prevail, but  rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set  brush fires in people’s  minds..”

Samuel  Adams

If you  think this is important, please forward to everyone you  know.

You had  better wake up, because  Obama  is doing this  very same thing, over here, if he can  get it done.

And there  are stupid people in congress and on  the street that will go right along with  him.

Okay, so the article is not quite right in some areas.  But in essence, it tells a true story and it’s a tremendous warning to us here in the United States.

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors

(Thanks Jeannie)

Face it, Obama doesn’t give a crap about Americans.  He doesn’t care about our safety or OUR rights.  We have the RIGHT to tell ILLEGALS to get the hell out of our country and come in the right way.  The legal way. 

He told the Supreme Court, the citizens of Arizona and all other border states and every single American, “GO TO HELL.”

I am very proud to introduce the next guest ranter…a new generation of pissed off camper, my son:

GET A GRIP AMERICA!!! Why are we are letting teachers politically brain wash our kids? Why are they pushing our children into thinking that Obama is a god? Don’t believe me? Look at the videos Lethal posted and then go listen to some good old Gospel music…. Sound’s the same, right? Teachers should teach our children in an unbiased manner, not to their own agenda!

 I was in school when O.J. Simpson was standing trial for murder. Sure our teachers had opinions but they gave us the facts and let us make our own decisions. But now it’s, “You will sing, you will not bad mouth, you will not question”. Holy hell, I thought that’s what the freedom of speech was? I am so sick and tired of “we got one of us in office now we are going to prove that we can do it better.” If you are an American and there is an American in office then you have ONE of you in office. We are at war people! It is not a foreign war; it is a war in our own homes. And we are at war with each and every person who feels the constitution defines the pursuit of happiness as you working for someone else’s happiness. The “pursuit” of happiness does not mean that you have the RIGHT to happiness; it means you have the right to attempt to obtain it. If our president cannot understand this, then he is incapable of doing his job. As the leader of our country it is his duty to uphold and maintain the constitution. How can he do this when he cannot understand the definitions of the words with in? It’s time to wake up America! It is no longer a distant cloud on the horizon. It is a full force gale and your windows are open. Standup, be proud, and be heard. WE ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS AND WE AREN’T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! Our families moved to this country and worked their fingers to the bone. They weren’t given ANYTHING. They fought for it with blood, sweat, and tears, so why are we giving the rest of the world a free ride?

It is a privilege to be in politics, not a bullet-point on a resume!

Sincerely

The Whelpling

Outstanding.  Thank you, son.  Oh, and by the way, “It’s a full force gale and your windows are open.”  Nice line.  Really nice.

and in a 3 generation dragon issue, my Dad sends me this great link:

My old friend Todd, who sent us the picture of the MJ-4 last week and who has contributed several times to our story line has sent us a great article and some of his own opinions on the matter:

Read this on Breitbart….
I know Lethal is aware of liberal media bias and it’s rampant.  It’s “burning of Rome” rampant.  Wildfire.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/06/25/Former-Katie-Couric-Producer-Says-NBC-Indefensible-Asks-What-the-Hell-Is-Wrong-With-You-Guys

It’s a great letter and of course the MSM won’t pay it any attention even though the producer who wrote it has been there for over two decades. 

Their ideology trumps everything.  Their collective stupidity has reached its pinnacle and it’s on display for everyone to see.

These are the idiots we sat next to in high school who forgot their pencil in math class….EVERY DAY.

These are the people who found it more important to continue to try to “be cool” than to learn something and be a productive member of society with a marketable skill.

In short, they used their brains for all the wrong reasons and never learned the sometimes painful activity of critical thinking.

But I’m pleased this NBC producer said what he did and put it in writing.

Share with everyone!

This is called Choppy Seas by the person I got it from.  I’m sorry, these seas aren’t choppy, they are damn right scary!  I suggest going to full screen once you start the video.  Oh?  Can’t see the video?  YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE!  You can’t watch the video from the email.  Now get your butt to the website!!!!!

Today, we are going to talk about healthcare and how not having insurance will cause you to be taxed.  I know, I know, I can hear you all saying the same thing.
“What the hell is Impish talking about now?”
But that is what we are now talking about.  The Justices of the Supreme Court have ruled (5 to 4) that Obamacare is legal because it’s a tax.
But…
But…
But Obama told us it wasn’t a tax!
And, and Congress told us it wasn’t a tax!
And Nancy!  Nancy told us it wasn’t a tax and that we just HAD to pass it in order to read it and find out what’s in it.
Well, now the Supreme Court tells us exactly what’s in it… the largest retroactive tax in the history of this country.
Oh my goodness!!!!!
Say it ain’t so!!!
Obama lied? Really?  And Congress?  Congress lied?  And Pelosi, Pelosi lied, too?

Let me make this perfectly clear…and I’ll speak slowly so you liberals, who tend to hear only what you want to hear, can understand as well:
Obama lied!!!!!!!!!! Pelosi lied!!!
Did they open their mouths and did words come out?  Then they couldn’t help but lie!  If this was anyone other than the holy one, the press and every one in the country would be raising hell, but instead, everyone seems determined to make excuses for this prick.  He lied about health care, about visibility, about his birth certificate, his college transcript, …

WHAT THE HELL DO THESE PEOPLE NEED?  Video tape of him robbing a liquor store?  The press would still make excuses for him.

Now, this from Jeannie, who culled some of the better comments from today:

If Congress says so, you can buy fries with that OR pay the no-fries tax.

Great news comrades! Health care for all is now the law of the land! Because as everyone knows, if you want something run more efficiently, with better customer service and for a lower cost, the BEST place to turn to is where else, the government! Personally I can not wait until my health care is delivered to me with the speed of the DMV, the customer service of the IRS and with the simple rules of a town government construction permit office! (Ever try to put an addition on you house and go through the local zoning board? So easy, so simple so efficient!)
So, on to business. How does it feel to finally have this unnecessary burden of freedom taken off your shoulders, comrades, now that Congress can pass any bill they want as long as it has a penalty tax? In other words,
How does it feel to be a subject of the One today?

Based upon this decision, virtually anything can now be mandated by the federal government, as long as there’s a tax if you choose not to follow the mandate. How’s that for legal precedent?

Health care hasn’t actually become any more available now than it was before, only now it also costs money to nothave health care. Meaning that Obama’s supporters whose main complaint is not having health care now have to pay to not have health care. But their support is none the weaker. The worst part is that they don’t seem to understand that whatever the government provides, it can withhold. When the free market is destroyed, there are no competitors to turn to. And when the government thus becomes the sole provider of health care, it can suspend your health and let you die for any reason. You don’t like that? Too bad, no health care for you.

I think Roberts led the SCOTUS’ lefties down the garden path. They went along happily, skipping, and hopping, and jumping, and singing, while they thought they just gave the conservatives a big loss. But what happened was the four liberals on the Supreme Court, including the two Obama appointed, just called Obama a liar.

Perhaps, 40 years from now, we will look back and think “Roberts was an American Hero, … he showed us the true face of Obama.”

Now, let’s make every household pay a TAX if its occupants fail to install low-flush, energy-efficient toilets. HAHAHAHA. It’ll be constitutional, bitches!

Okay, that’s nice.  Truly it is.  But here’s an opinion that I found VERY interesting and the longer I think about it, the more I think it might very well be that Justice Roberts didn’t change sides as much as he is thinking further in the future and has put the ball square into the GOPs court.  But, don’t listen to me.  What the hell does a dragon know from politics, anyway?  Check this out:

Lipstick on a Pig??

We now have the 2012 election in a nut shell.  May God have mercy on our souls.

 Ah! me first bachelor’s toadstool! Sniff! The memories! Hardly two million to me name, no Dragons running a muck and the lassies! Sigh! Those were simpler times!

I’m getting this finished way early and set to auto post in the event that by the time Wednesday comes around I find my self hip deep in a strong tropical storm or weak hurricane depending on what dear darling Debby decides to do with her track.

Ok belay that- it’s Monday Am and in the last 18 hours or show Debby has shown an apparent preference to retired folk in the Florida Panhandle as opposed to up to illegal immigrants Texas.

However that reprieve as it were (we could have used the rain, it’s already dropped more than 12 inches of rain along some parts of the Florida coast but that much that hard and fast would not have hung around or done anything lasting for us…except flood us out) come at a price it seems. The same weather conditions that are going to protect us are also apparently going to steam us like a hot dog.

Before I was even on line this morning my cell phone was playing its klaxon warning indicating a message from the National Weather Service. Here in part is the message that greeted me as I waited for my first cup of life giving coffee to issue froth from my beloved coffeemaker:

VERY HOT WITH HIGH HEAT INDEX VALUES THROUGH MIDWEEK AFTERNOON HIGHS ARE EXPECTED TO TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S INLAND AND  AROUND THE MID 90S AT THE COAST. THESE READINGS ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES TOPPING OUT IN A 105 TO 110 DEGREE RANGE. A HEAT ADVISORY MIGHT BE NEEDED.

I am reminded of an Ancient Irish Axiom which states that “life is a barter- every moment of pleasure must be paid for with an equal moment of pain” (my Grandda insisted that this was the explanation behind both marriage being the cost of a sex life & the whole drinking/hangover cycle). Ah well… out of the shower and into the sauna!

‘Tis off to work feverishly on our Fourth of July Independence Day Issue I am, before I’m forced to seek the cooler accommodations of a dim dark corner in me favorite pub!

LOL! HEY! Where did that picture of me & me coffee trying to write the Independence Day issue come from? Better yet when did I ever have that much hair?

That is until some lunatic or moron sets me off!

Why Men are just happier people.

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Graying hair adds attraction. Wedding dress~$5000. Tux rental~$100. People never stare at your chest when you’re talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can “do” your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

Very interesting..

Amazing!

This is good, the oldest structures on Earth

Gobekli Tepe … a long, long, long, long time ago

The structures on this site were built about 12,000 years ago (10,000 BC) and intentionally buried with sand about 8,000 years ago.

No one knows who these people were, what the massive buildings were for, or why they were buried.

Just for reference, these massive structures were built during the last ice age

and are more than 7,000 years older than any other structure we have yet discovered on our planet.

As I watched this I was in awe of what is shown and discussed, 13 years of work and only an estimated 5% had been uncovered!!!

This would truly be amazing beyond words to see.

The Most Arrogant Man in the World

Something new from RightChange.com. New video parody of the Dos Equis spot “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” “The Most Arrogant Man in the World illustrates how Obama believes he can just essentially push his agenda regardless of the congress which has made many believe he has an arrogant leadership style.  Features new ending for “Don’t Be a Donkey”, dontbeadonkey.com which is a new site that will feature numerous new parody videos going into the 2012 election. Hope you get a Chuckle out of this one.

   

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?”
“Yep,” the wife replied, “in-laws.”

WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day…
30,000 to a man’s 15,000.

The wife replied, “The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, “What?”

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, “I don’t know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
” The wife responded, “Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, “You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.”
The husband said, ” You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.”
Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee.”
Husband replies, “I can’t believe that, show me.”
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says……….”HEBREWS”

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
“Please wake me at 5:00 AM.” He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by

Sigh! Unfortunately it’s usually from whackos or the liberal unwashed masses.  Remember what I said at the beginning about it being a great day until someone sets me off? Case in point:

Impish and I received a forward in our e-mails last Friday, one that was apparently broadcasted to several people and not sent to just us. Seems PETA’s outrage de jour is over the last 1000 chimps remaining in test labs across the USA. (PETA has never met an animal they could not exploit in order to gain a few dollars from an “offending” industry)

As you can see we’ve gone to great pains not to completely identify and there by expose ourselves to harassment or other legal charges by the L^2IQ (Liberal Loony In Question) when the whole story is completed. You’ll note that she makes NO COMMENTS EXPLAINING WHY WE ARE GETTING THIS FROM HER despite our numerous discussions and warning regarding what happens if you do this to us.

I was of the thought that her name rang a bell with me (and NOT in a good way either) however, as the Chief Operating Comedic Curmudgeon for DL/LL Enterprises (Hey Impish when we going to come up with that much bandied about better name??) I replied in an flip comedic manner not remembering that old Lizzy A. was one of our resident Liberal Loonies. [As it turned out when I Googled her after talking with Impish,  I was easily able to refresh my memory and locate her banned addresses (3 of them) and screen name at the old Yahoo site, she’s less a liberal and more of the other in truth]

As several of you who insist on doing the send us things sans comments or context can attest this is EXACTLY what happens when you do that. We either ignore it or make a smart flip remark back if the muse is upon us. JUST as we have warned previously. Lizzy A. is either not one for reading warnings or figures she’s a liberal and someone else is going to pay the fare for her ignoring rules while she Occupies our Inboxes. In either event, my flip response apparently offended her. I guess I was supposed to ignore all PETAs other liberal actions and behaviors and immediately take up the banner of a liberal bleeding heart cause and scream it from the blog.

Not. On. Your. Life.

Or more accurately;

Over. My. Dead. Bleeding. Body. Knee Deep. In. A. Pile. OF. Expended. Brass. On. The. Frozen. Plains. Of. Hell. Empty. Weapon. At. My. Side.

Apparently Lizzy A. has not bothered reading my Profile on WordPress (Located under everyone of my blog posts when you click on it to see the comments on that post, which states in part:

I am a Life Time Member of the NRA, a Charter Member of  the Patriots’ Border Alliance and North American Hunters Association. If there is a season for it and I can shoot one, I’ll eat it and proudly wear its fur. I believe PETA exists solely to be a forum for Gays, Vegetarians, Hollywood snobbery to stupid to get into politics and Soybean Growers.

Old Lizzy A. got down right rude as liberals are wont to do when you do not agree with their dictated to you point of view:

That’s when I decided I had had just about enough Liberal Hope & Change Hype & Bullshit laced Kool-Aid thrown in my face for the day and went off on old Lizzy A:

Then the Obamas are in more immediate danger than I am, especially Michelle “Cheetah” Obama!

We have PUBLICLY expressed our distain for PETA and its uber liberal agenda multiple times, so WHY would we rush to their cause or aid?

GOD gave man “DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:28)

The dictionary definition of ‘dominion’ says it means ‘complete absolute power and rule over something.’

So, if one were to follow that definition, the Bible states that man can do whatever he wants over animals, (which includes hunting them, eating them and using them for purposes of bettering mankind) for he has complete dominion over them.

PETA seeks to position themselves as the sole interpreter of GOD’S intention for man’s control over animals, even over and above the Church and our overly-invasive-in-all-things Big-Brother Government. (To say nothing of the fact they want me to pay for them to do it!)

Screw them and screw you too Mz. Smart Azz. We’re supposed to remember you’re a bleeding heart, Kool-aid swilling liberal and psychically figure out what you mean, just because you sent it to us sans any context? You’d better pray they don’t start using donkeys and mules in labs or you and the rest of your liberal friends are going to be in seriously deep shit!

Now keep your smart azzed comments the hell out of my inbox you hypocritical whacko!!

I should probably explain that comment about her being hypocritical. See all them PETA folk whine and cry about the poor abused animals, but they wear leather shoes, leather belts, carry leather wallets and purses, they eat eggs, meat & fish, sleep on down filled pillows, mattress tops or under down comforters when its cold. When its cold they wear wool socks, sweaters, hats and mittens. When they get sick likely they get prescriptions filled for drugs that were tested on Chimps before they were deemed safe enough to test on humans. Lizzy’s make up was probably tested on a Chimp before a human to make sure it was safe for human testing. All THAT is ok and apparently conveniently overlooked as PETA attacks another industry that refuse to buy them off JUST like the tree huggers do. Get my point about hierocracy now?

Unfortunately like most liberals and loonies she didn’t get the message to cease and desist or chose to ignore it. Things coming from her end rapidly degenerated from there on after I pointedly warned her of the consequences of her continuing to contact me. The threats rapidly grew less founded in reality and more desperate and dire.

Impish and I were called trailer trash scum and red necked KKK members.

I have personally been accused of dealing in child pornography in retaliation for informing her I still was in possession of her harassing statements from the last time around (when Impish wrote about his fried the police officer who died THIS is the individual who wrote in and said she was GLAD he was dead and that ALL police officers should be killed. Seems she has had multiple run ins with the Clear Lake CA Police with which she is unhappy and therefore all police deserve to die and have their deaths celebrated) and would include them in my evidence to her e-mail and Internet providers.

She also has threatened to expose me for “having molested more little boys than Jerry Sandusky” and informed me that “just because I was a cop and corrupt didn’t mean I could not be caught” for suggesting I would lobby for a life time barring from the internet as part of her sentencing. Some where along the line I was also told she had proof I was a serial rapist. (I can only surmise that according to her I’m bi-sexual and apparently getting FAR more action than I am aware of! I’m gratified to see that my walking with a limp and a cane on top of being married isn’t slowing my chasing of women any!)

 

I have called her bluff and encouraged her to make those accusations official record with law enforcement so that she might be arrested and removed from her position as a menace of Cyber-society and barred from ever having internet contact again. In fact not only did I encourage her- I DARED her to do it. 

The only way to win with  people like her is the same way you win at Thermonuclear Warfare…you refuse to play the  game. Accordingly, I have also refused her any further attention by blocking her e-mail address both on Gmail and here as well to insure she cannot continue her pattern of wanton disruption of the group solely for the purpose of her amusement.

Everyone thinks that doing a decent blog is so incredibly easy and can’t understand how it can take so much of our time. I just wanted you to see first hand some of the really bad crap, craziness and personal attacks we are forced to endure to publish this  Centrist and logic founded blog a lousy 2 times per week.

Thankfully the vast majority don’t even come close to this level and are from people more or less capable of a semi intelligent discourse and reason.

If we have any lawyers out there licensed to practice in California that wouldn’t mind a little pro bono work, we’d appreciate the help removing this irritant on a permanent basis.

 

This should be sent only to those whose level of maturity qualifies them to relate to it…

Dad won’t face charges in alleged attacker’s death

By PAUL J. WEBER and RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI Associated Press

SHINER — Hearing his 5-year-old daughter crying from behind a barn, a father ran and discovered the unthinkable: A man molesting her. The father pulled the man off his daughter, authorities say, and started pummeling him to death with his fists.

With his daughter finally safe, the father frantically called 911, begging a dispatcher to find his rural ranch and send an ambulance.

“Come on! This guy is going to die on me!” the man is heard screaming on the 911 call. “I don’t know what to do!”

A recording of the tape was played during a news conference Tuesday where the Lavaca County district attorney and sheriff announced that the father would not face charges.

In declining to indict the 23-year-old father in the June 9 killing of Jesus Mora Flores, a Lavaca County grand jury reached the same conclusion as investigators and many of the father’s neighbors: He was authorized to use deadly force to protect his daughter.

“It’s sad a man had to die,” said Michael James Veit, 48, who lives across the street from where the attack happened in this small community run on ranching and the Shiner beer brewery. “But I think anybody would have done that.”

The family ranch is so remote that on the 911 tape, the father is heard profanely screaming at a dispatcher who couldn’t locate the property. At one point, he tells the dispatcher he’s going to put the man in his truck and drive him to a hospital.

“He’s going to die!” the father screams, swearing at the dispatcher. “He’s going to f—— die!”

The tense, nearly five-minute call begins with the father saying he “beat up” a man found raping his daughter. The father grows increasingly frazzled, shouting into the phone so loudly at times that the call often becomes inaudible.

The Associated Press is not identifying the father in order to protect the daughter’s identity. The AP generally does not identify victims of sexual assault.

“He’s a peaceable soul,” V’Anne Huser, the father’s attorney, told reporters at the Lavaca County Courthouse. “He had no intention to kill anybody that day.”

The attack happened on the family’s ranch off a quiet, two-lane county road between the farming towns of Shiner and Yoakum.

A statement released by the district attorney said a witness who saw Flores “forcibly carrying” the girl into a secluded area scrambled to find the father. Running toward his daughter’s screams, the father pulled Flores off his child and “inflicted several blows to the man’s head and neck area,” investigators said.

Emergency crews responding to the father’s 911 call found Flores’ pants and underwear pulled down on his lifeless body. The girl was examined at a hospital, and Lavaca County District Attorney Heather McMinn said forensic evidence and witness accounts corroborated the father’s story that his daughter was being sexually molested.

The father was never arrested, but the killing was investigated as a homicide.

Philip Hilder, a Houston criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, said he would have been surprised if the grand jury had decided to indict the father. Hilder said Texas law provides several justifications for the use of deadly force, including if someone commits a sexual assault.

“The grand jury was not about to indict this father for protecting his daughter,” he said.

Authorities said the family had hired Flores before to help with horses on the ranch. He was not born in the U.S. but was here legally with a green card. Attempts to locate Flores’ relatives through public records were unsuccessful.

On Tuesday, a new “No Trespassing” sign was freshly tacked onto a gate barring entrance down a gravelly, shrub-canopied path leading to the barn and chicken coop on the ranch, which belonged to the father’s dad.

At the father’s house, the front yard could pass for a children’s playground: blue pinwheels sunk into patchy grass, an above-ground swimming pool, a swing set, a trampoline and a couple of ropes dangling from a tree for swinging. A partial privacy fence is painted powder blue.

No one answered at the father’s home. A few miles away, at a home listed as belonging to the father’s sister, a woman shouted through the front door that the family had nothing to say. Huser, the father’s attorney, told reporters that neither the father nor anyone else in the family would ever give interviews and asked that they be left alone.

Veit, who lives across the street from the ranch, described the father as easygoing and polite — down to always first asking permission to search Veit’s property for animals that had wandered off the ranch, even though the families have long known each other.

Veit’s son was a classmate of the father’s at Shiner High School in a graduating class of about two dozen. Veit, 48, said the young father was never known to be in trouble.

“Just like a regular kid, went to dances, drank beer like the rest of the kids around here,” Veit said.

Shiner, a town of about 2,000 people about 80 miles east of San Antonio, revolves around the Spoetzl Brewery that makes

Shiner, one of the nation’s best-selling independent beers. Even gas stations here sell it on tap.

Flores’ death is only the sixth homicide the Lavaca County Sheriff’s Office has investigated in the last eight years. Shiner residents boast their squeaky-clean image on a highway welcome sign: “The Cleanest Little City in Texas.”

At Werner’s Restaurant, customer Gail Allen said she didn’t want to speak for the whole town, though her comments echoed what others said.

“The father has gone through enough,” said Allen, 59, who has nine grandchildren. “The little girl is going to be traumatized for life, and the father, too, for what happened. He was protecting his family. Any parent would do that.”

I’d like to commend the police on the way they handled this. It was obviously a bad time for the family but at the same time they were confronted with a dead man at the hand of another, who (presumably) admitted to such on scene.

Instead of taking the easy media headline grabbing way out and cuffing the poor kids father and throwing him in a cruiser and a cell until such time as this all got straightened out, they did the right thing. They investigated, decided that the evidence, as it was initially presented supported the father’s version of the situation, and allowed him to remain with and care for his daughter and his traumatized family.

Those cops know and understand the difference between “Protect & Serve” and “Enforcing the Law”

Secondly, to the father of the little girl I say, “DAMNED FINE JOB!”

If more of the sick whack jobs got the crap beat out of them or outright killed at the hands of the fathers of those they are molesting we’d have fewer incidents and even fewer around to be repeat offenders. (Sadly priests would probably be in even shorter supply however because even the Vatican cannot hide them from a bullet when they are caught in the sin)

More states need to modify their justifiable deadly force laws to include defense against sexual assault. [Of course the second those laws start passing Obama and his ventriloquist’s dummy in the Justice Department Eric Holder will start decrying how the laws are unfair to sexual predators and how  states have no right to make laws liberals don’t agree with.]

Sir I know you didn’t set out to kill him, only to keep him from harming your little girl, but I would not lose any sleep over snuffing this loser out- even accidentally. My only fault with what you did was that you didn’t 1st field goal kick him so hard that when the corner does the autopsy they find his testicles right up with his Adams Apple BEFORE beating him to death.

And that goes for Rapist and any other sort of sexual predator you care to think of too!
