Finding Love

As a child, and then as a teen, I had always heard stories and songs about this mystical, everlasting love. I had always hoped to find it. It sounded so wonderful and fulfilling. You know how the stories ended “and they lived happily ever after”. I know, it sounds silly, those stories were full of D.I.Ds (damsels in distress), but they were rescued by Knights in shining armor. I always wanted to be one of those Knights and find a beautiful woman that I could rescue and who I could live happily ever after with.

Here is what I have learned since then. Everyone is looking for the same thing…Even if they don’t know it. I also learned the secret to finding it.

Are you ready for it?

Here it is----

Love the one you are with…

It’s that simple. Once you have fallen for someone, you both have work and cultivate it. Like I explained recently to my son, love is not unlike hate. They both are like a fire, if you don’t feed them, they can’t survive. Therefore, I don’t hate anyone, because if I don’t care for you, I don’t think about you. In order to hate someone you have to consistently think about it to keep that hate smoldering. I refuse to let anyone or thing control me like that. Loving someone or something is exactly the same, you have to feed that love. Remember what it was that made you love them in the first place. The little things you do for them is the kindling helping it grow. Then every so often you do something really wonderful for them and it’s like a big log, it gets the fire really going. You have to tell them that you love them and mean it with the same feeling and emotion as the first time you ever said it. You have to learn to get pleasure out of making them happy

I think that many people are unhappy or have had bad luck with relationships because they are in love with being in love. They are addicted that wonderful feeling of infatuation that comes at the beginning of a romance. Once that initial excitement wears off, they lose interest and look for the next fix. They never discover that that feeling is still there, you just have to find it again. It takes work. It isn’t always there, but in between, there is that comfortable warm feeling of companionship. That there is someone that you can have a conversation with, without saying a word. Someone that pleases you because they want to, without expecting anything in return but love. Someone that you please because it makes you feel good, just to see a smile and know that you are loved.

I have also discovered that when you are unselfish in your physical relationship,  making sure that you are doing everything possible to please your lover, it is reciprocated, and making love is that much better… And more frequent.

So… Well, I’ll leave it to Stephen stills…

War on Masculinity or Why “Nice Guys Finish Last”

I saw an article the other day in which some “Nice Guy” left a note on a young ladies vehicle, lambasting her and all women who claim that they can’t find any “Nice Guys”, because she kicked him, a self-proclaimed “Nice Guy” to the curb. Here is the issue as I see it. Women think they want nice guys, what they really want (WHOA, you claim to know what women really want? Yes, just read on..) is a MAN. Women want one thing in a man, whether they recognize it or not, they want a masculine man. That’s why it seems as if most women prefer “bad boys”. Bad boys are, above all else, very masculine. Bad boys also have a tendency to treat women like shit. If they can find a “Nice Guy” that happens to be a MAN, that is just icing on the cake.

I don’t care how liberated, feminine, modern, independent, or feminist a woman may be, subliminally she wants a MAN. She wants a protector (whether she needs it or not), she wants a provider (even if she is better educated and makes more money than him), and she wants good genes for her offspring (whether she wants children or not).

The modern dichotomy is this, women, since the 60’s, have been beating men about the head and shoulders with the “We want sensitive men” club. They have been forcing the medication of our sons for acting like boys (Ritalin). They punish little boys for stealing kisses, pretending a chicken nugget, pop-tart, or finger is a gun. One six year old was suspended from school for bringing in a GI Joe that had a small toy pistol in a holster!!! Back before most of this really got started (thank god), I was a little boy in the 60’s and early 70’s. I was a military brat and went to eight schools by the time I finished the eighth grade. You know what I did for the first six to eight weeks of almost every school I attended? I fought. I would get into two to four fights before it ended. Little boys have to figure out a pecking order, and fighting was the way it used to be done.. I guess now they play video games or something. The result of all of this “War on Boys” is that these boys don’t grow up to be MEN. Don’t get me wrong, they are “Nice Guys”, but when I was a kid, they would have been giving up their lunch money and getting wedgies every day. Many of these “Nice Guys” are just checking out, there is a new phenomenon in the western world called the “Sexodus”. Young men are giving up on relationships with women, settling for “hook ups” (aka one night stands), porn, or just celibacy. They fill their days with drinking, or drugs; video games and or sports; and just hanging out with the guys.

So what we are going to end up with are women, and men, living alone, and childless…

US Military Theme song

This should be the theme song of the US Military when deploying against ISIS and other would be Caliphate builders...

More Guns Less Crime

With a wink and a nod to John Lott Jr. who wrote a book by the same name published in 1998.  Mr Lott has been ridiculed for this exhaustive study of crime statistics wherein he showed the correlation between concealed carry and the lowering of crime rates in general and Murder rates specifically. He must be smiling right now.

Belief net Harvard Study Article

A study came out in 2007, authored by that bastion of right wing extremism, Harvard University. It showed that Countries with higher gun ownership had lower crime rates. You see, the reason you never heard about this study is that it makes every liberal pundit, politician, and activist a liar when the spout that often heard phrase "The United States has the industrialized worlds highest murder rate". They always directly attribute that to guns. This study proves that that assertion is not true. That is why it has been ignored.

Quoting the above referenced Article:-

The popular assertion that the United States has the industrialized world’s highest murder rate, says the Harvard study, is a throwback to the Cold War when Russian murder rates were nearly four times higher than American rates. In a strategic disinformation campaign, the U.S. was painted worldwide as a gunslinging nightmare of street violence – far worse than what was going on in Russia. The line was repeated so many times that many believed it to be true. Now, many still do.

I know, you, like me are shocked that any politician or liberal would lie for political advantage.. Or even that they would make something up, and then repeat it so often that it is taken as fact..

Here are a few of my favorite hits:-

 97% of climate scientist agree that (Global Warming/Climate Change/insert the newest term here) is caused by man and a threat to humanity (Some leftist Scientist collected science journals and papers. He then determined by the subject of the articles/papers whether or not the author was a Global Warmist... He never bothered to ask)

Superbowl Sunday is the most violent day of the year for women who are abused by their husbands. (this was a N.O.W. favorite for years.. No statistics, nothing.. just the claim)

A woman's right to choose  (unless she chooses to have the baby)

Women make (insert a % here) of what men make!! (they usually derive this by taking the total female population, and dividing the gross estimated income of the total female population. Further they never take into account the choice by women of lower paying professions, like nursing/teaching. It also also been proven that women in the same profession as men, that do not take time off to have children, on average make more money than their male counterparts.)

Islam is the religion of Peace (just read a few history books.. for a religion of peace they sure have started a lot of religious wars, right up to when they get their asses kicked, then they become a religion of peace in order to build up resources for the next round. It's actually in the Quaran how to do it.)

So we have a study by Harvard, the flagship of the liberal Ivy League, that proves that not only does the US NOT have the highest murder rate in the industrialized world, the UK, the country thrown in our faces all of the time isn't the home of low crime and safety :-

Quoting the above referenced Article:-
 
Somehow, it goes unreported that “despite constant and substantially increasing gun ownership, the United States saw progressive and dramatic reductions in criminal violence,” write Kates and Mauser. “On the other hand, the same time period in the United Kingdom saw a constant and dramatic increase in violent crime to which England’s response was ever-more drastic gun control. Nevertheless, criminal violence rampantly increased so that by 2000 England surpassed the United States to become one of the developed world’s most violence-ridden nations.

Harvard study? What study? Move along sheeple, nothing to see here..

The issue isn't guns or gun control, it is mental health.

The Osaka School massacre, June 8 2001, 8 children killed. Subject used a kitchen knife.

The Akihabara massacre, June 8 2008, 4 killed, 8 injured with a truck and knife. (do you think the dates were just a coincidence?)

Knife wielding attackers kill 29 injure 130 at Chinese train station , March 2014.

Bath Michigan School massacre, 1927, 44 killed, subject used explosives.

Oklahoma City, 4/19/95, 168 killed, subject used nitrogen fertilizer soaked with diesel as an explosive.

Seoul South Korea, 10/20/2008, 6 dead, 7 wounded, subject used knife and arson.

Shanghai China, 07/2008, 7 killed, 3 by car, 4 stabbed to death.

4 killed in Sitka, Alaska, US: 3/25/2008. 18 year old (old enough to purchase a rifle over the counter) kills 4 people, related to him, with a 5 inch knife.

Stabbing Spree kills 2, Tsuchiura, Japan: 3/23/2008. 2 killed, 7 wounded. Man "just wanted to kill anyone."

Stabbing spree wounds 41, 6 seriously in Berlin Train Station: 5/26/2006. Thankfully no one died in this attack, but not for lack of trying on the part of the drunk 16 year old.

4 killed, 2 wounded in stabbing spree in London, UK: 9/2004. Mentally ill man attacks mostly older people.

6 killed over Xbox dispute in Deltona, Florida, US: 8/6/2004. 4 men (all old enough to legally purchase firearms) bludgeon 6 people to death with baseball bats over purloined Xbox.

198 killed, 147 injured. Daegu subway fire, Daegu, South Korea: 2/18/2003. A 56 year old unemployed taxi driver, dissatisfied with his medical treatment, sets fire to a crowded train.


The list goes on...
I found spreadsheet of mass killings, the US is lumped in with the "Americas" which for the time period listed has 108 mass killings, Asia 127, Oceania/South East Asia 124, Europe 95. Asia, Oceania/South East Asia, and Europe have strict gun control laws. In those places, the killings are committed with a knife or vehicle. So if we got rid of all gun ownership, these killings would not stop, their weapons of choice would just change.

The real Global Warming agenda

Walter Williams on the Global Warming/Climate change Witchhunt of "Deniers"


The global warming agenda is a desperate effort to gain greater control over our lives. Political commentator Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) explained that "the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." That's the political goal of the global warmers.

The Wisdom of Col. Jeff Cooper

I supposedly met this gentleman at a range when I was a wee lad in Tucson AZ.
A classic quote.

"Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is
the queen of personal weapons.
 
The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of
power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It
is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies
on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of
resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be
tyrannized.
 
The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own.
Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more
good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of
righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men
with rifles."

Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle
