Duck Hunting is More Than Just Killing Ducks

If your enjoyment of duck hunting is solely dependent upon the number of ducks killed during a given outing, you are missing quite a bit of the total experience.

Exhibit A:

Bonehead Criminals

I love this story.

Two pennsylvania natives are behind bars, accused of robbing the Pecan Island Food Store Sunday.

Eric Larocco and Amanda Matusick were both booked on armed robbery charges. In addition, they were charged with shoplifting and possession of drug paraphernalia.

When the store owner found out he was robbed, he contacted a Sherriff's Deputy and asked all the bridges be raised to prevent the robbers from leaving the area. The two were stuck on the island and couldn't go any further once they reached the Little Prairie Bridge.

Deputies met the suspects and recovered the money and weapon. They were both arrested on the scene.

I can just picture the sheriff casually driving down the highway without even putting his lights on and rolling up behind the robbers at the drawbridge. "Yer in a heap o' trouble boy!"

Too funny.

Hunting Report 11/19/08

I went goose hunting this past Sunday in a cut bean field. I saw thousands of geese near where I was hunting but none were within gun range. I didn't see any ducks at all. That's pretty much the story I'm hearing from everyone. Very few ducks to be had. Except for one guy...



Lots of greenheads in one particular region of our state! I have a general idea of where he's hunting but I am refraining from making the information public to avoid a D-Day like invasion of the area.

I know a couple of guys who are hunting public waters by boat which is something I haven't done very much. Hopefully I'll get an invite and post another report soon.

I was lying in exactly the same position as the guy in the picture when I ran across this article. Oh the irony!

Apostasy Versus Authority

Jeff Miller has a good post about the current debate on how to deal with apostate members of the U.S. Congress. I liked it. I agree that there should be some dialog before lowering the boom of excommunication. However, I think this dialog can replaced by a monologue if Senators refuse to participate in any discussions (see my previous, somewhat angry post on the subject here). AmP is still tabulating the days since Nancy Pelosi agreed to meet with Archbishop Niederauer (70 days and counting).

Nevertheless, I thought Jeff made a good point and I left the following comment:

Amen Brother. Both Bishop Malooly AND Sen. Biden are attempting to change hearts and minds. The difference is that Biden's gospel of doing whatever he wishes and receiving communion is changing more hearts and minds than Bishop Malooly's silence (refer to the Nov. 4 election results for empirical evidence). The inescapable truth of the matter is that this issue is being forced upon us by liberals in the Catholic church who place their politics ahead of their faith. If our Bishops and Archbishops do not re-establish themselves as the pillar and bulwark of truth, their authority will continue to be usurped by the Joe Bidens and Nancy Pelosis of the world to the point where the term "Catholic" no longer has any clear meaning.

Duck Season is Now Open!

Actually it opened last week. From the reports I'm hearing I'm convinced I made the right decision by staying home. Worst opening weekend since God invented ducks is what I'm hearing. I may go this weekend anyway, but only because duck hunting fever has a detrimental effect on my capacity for rational thought. If you're a hunter of any kind, you know what I'm talkin' about.

If anyone anywhere in the nation is killing ducks I'd like to hear about it.

A Friend Weighs in on FOCA

A good friend of mine took the time to write an e-mail on abortion and send it to a large group of friends. The least I can do is share it and encourage readers to sign the petition. His e-mail reads...

To All,

While we prepare to transition into a new presidency in January 2009, I understand that there are many issues that will be dealt with. Many of those issues are with regards to the economy or the war in Iraq. To some people those issues are far more important than others and I think that is a major factor that lead to the election of Obama for president. I pray that our new president will resolve those issues and I wish him the best of luck. Thanks to all those soldiers who have /and continue to defend this country's freedom. God bless our soldiers. (Happy B-Day yesterday US Marines).

However, when casting my vote this November, my concern was not with the economic situation that arose when government allowed US citizens to run rampant with no, or bad credit. And, I am by far not the political person like some, but my only concern was with the unheard voice of unborn children. Many people may have thought that other issues came before "Life" and that is their own personal opinion. Now that (we) elected a president who is willing to sign the "Freedom Of Choice Act" I will try to do my part in fighting it. Please see the link below and sign the petition to fight against legalizing the sadistic murder of innocent human life- a.k.a. "miracle".

This is my view on "Freedom Of Choice":

If a woman is faced with an "unwanted" pregnancy, this act will enable her to have the "Freedom of Choice" to kill her baby -whether the baby wants to be killed or not. If she's faced with a difficult situation, then she will have the right to act accordingly to end the baby's life. It will be the mother's choice, not the one being murdered.

Remember the "Lipstick on a Pig" comment? No matter how you decorate this statement it is still murder!

Now, let's take a look at the situation that I am faced with: I have an "unwanted" president. I didn't plan for this man to be in office, now I face a difficult situation. . . . (draw your own conclusions).

Why would the first scenario be entertained as "Freedom of Choice" and the second be tried in court? My point is: murder is murder!

FOCA Would Wipe Away Every Restriction on Abortion Nationwide

This would eradicate state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support, such as:

• Bans on Partial Birth Abortion
• Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an abortion
• Only licensed physicians can perform abortions
• Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion

FOCA would erase these laws and prevent states from enacting similar protective measures in the future.

Source of Life Discovered

According to Paul Falkowski, professor of biogeochemistry and bio-physics at Rutgers University in New Jersey, life on earth began 1.9 billion years ago with amoeba-like organisms absorbing bacteria and subsequently evolving into plants, animals and day time talk show hosts. This analysis begs a few questions:

1) Where did the amoeba-like organisms come from?
2) Where did the bacteria come from?
3) Where did the sun come from?
4) In an age when no one can accurately predict the weather a week from now, I'm supposed to believe that someone has ascertained the activities of amoeba and bacteria 2 billion years ago and I am to further believe that this interaction led to all life on earth?

I find it just as easy to believe in the Matrix.

Ahmadinejad Loves Him Some Hope and Change

For the first time in 30 years, an Iranian leader has sent a letter of congratulations to the President Elect of the United States of America. My favorite passages (emphasis mine)...

In the sensitive Middle East region, in particular, the expectation is that the unjust actions of the past 60 years will give way to a policy encouraging full rights for all nations, especially the oppressed nations of Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The great civilization-building and justice-seeking nation of Iran would welcome major, fair and real changes, in policies and actions, especially in this region.

Looks like someone bought into the campaign message of "Change".

Obama Zombies

BRAAAAAAAINS!!! NEEEEEEED BRAAAAAAAAINS!!!

Liberal Messiah Ascends the Throne

I guess we'll be minting new coins to render unto Caesar.



Nothing left to do but comment on the downfall of western civilization from inside occupied territory. If anyone knows of an underground railroad I might use to escape the United States of Liberal America, please send me a coded message in the combox. Good night comrades. See you in the cheese line in 2009.

Handicapped 6 Year Old Speaks for the First Time in Her Life

This was such a great story. Elke Wisbey is now able to speak through the use of an eye tracking laser device. Her first words were, "I love you, mum!" I can't imagine the joy this little girl and her family must be experiencing now that they can communicate. The love between parents and children never fails to amaze me.



Equally amazing (disturbing really) is the fact that many people in this country would have chosen to exterminate this handicapped child before she was born. What makes a parent choose to kill their own child? What has caused the mass psychosis in this country that leads some people to believe that killing their own children is somehow an act of kindness?

How can anyone in their right mind advocate abortion, or even "abortion-rights"? Does anyone support "cold-blooded-murder-rights" in any other form?

I would like to see Barack Obama look his children in the face and say, "I love you. But I also think I should have the right to kill you before you are born, if I so choose." How loving. How affectionate. Yet that is what he is teaching them and the youth of our nation by his actions. "I love you, but you are expendable if you are too burdensome."

CATHOLICS TAKE NOTE: THERE ARE NO PROPORTIONATE REASONS WHICH WOULD JUSTIFY VOTING FOR MASS MURDER ADVOCATE, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!! NONE!!!!

If you vote for Obama, the blood of the next 40 million murdered infants, including millions like the 6 year old above, is on your hands.
