		<description>I think I have just found a site I can relate too and understand.  These posts have cheered me to no end, particularly as I live in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey, and tried to read the Phila Inquirer this morning (a.k.a. PA Pravda) until the section gloating about how New Jersey has gone even MORE blue this election...which I didn&#039;t think was possible.

Thank gawd my Baretta FS 92 (purchased in Houston, TX) arrived....and despite the hassles from the State it is now in my house.  Rounds will be fired regularly to maintain proficiency.  That being said, my full time job will be continued smart-ass cheekiness aimed at those Volvo/Hybrid/Lexus driving dilettantes I am surrounded by while I continue the real work of sabotaging and dismantling the Peoples Republic.  It&#039;s bad around here, folks... 

My center is collapsing, and my flanks are in complete dissarray.  Situation excellent; I am attacking!</description>

		<description>Hey Nadine,

I strongly recommend the AK-47.  Light recoil, customizable, low maintenance. When you absolutely, positively have to shoot every commie in the room, accept no substitute. (its also fun to use their own weapon against them)</description>

		<description>PaleoMedic: TOO RIGHT about the damn Californians stinking up Colorado with the stuff that made California unliveable.  
We round them all up, send them to Arizona, and force them to listen to weekly TV ads featuring McCain.  They shall be guarded and kept in Arizona by those walls of zombie coyotes....


Ref: Girls &amp; Guns.  You don&#039;t need your own.  Just get your husband to teach you to shoot. Then you can pick up any shotgun, rifle, glock, or revolver that happens to be in the corner of the room you&#039;re in, and you&#039;re ready.  And if you can unload and load one in &lt; a minute, guys think you&#039;re hot.</description>

		<description>I have a Bersa Thunder .380 as a backup gun.  The Primary is a Mini-Glock .45.  I have rather large hands, but it&#039;s still comfy.  Plus, It&#039;as the gun I use to introduce my nieces and nephews to firearms and proper gun safety and shooting.  Great to have when bringing up the next generation of 2A children.</description>

		<description>Oh, where to begin? First, thanks Frank for stoking the fires of the Republican Underground. This is going to get exciting, but success won&#039;t happen over night. We have to network, focus the mission, and work tirelessly to take our party and our country back from the candyass appeasers that are now running the show.

Second, guns are not toys, kiddies.

If you are going to own one, then shoot it regularly. Nothing is more dangerous than someone scared of guns needing to know what they&#039;re doing when something goes bump in the night. If you are going to keep guns in the house, then you need to shoot each of them at least three times a year. If you are going to carry a gun, then you better haul you ass to a range at least once a month and shoot at 50-100 rounds through each gun you carry.

If you can&#039;t make a committment to proficiency and safety with your firearms, then stick to baseball bats and tire irons. This is not something to take lightly. Does it get expensive to shoot your firearms enough that you stay proficient? Hell, yes it does! But think of it as the cost of freedom.

Oh yeah, I live in Texas, so Kent, if you try splitting our state up into little bitty pieces, you will see just how many Texans exercise their 2nd Amendment right. It&#039;s a pretty good bet too, that even those people that aren&#039;t licensed to carry a concealed weapon are carrying one anyway...just so you know. God bless Texas!

Cheers!

For the last 12 years I have carried a firearm nearly every day of my life and I&#039;m not a cop. I&#039;m a 33 year old God-fearing citizen with a wife and two kids who cherishes life and the Constitution.</description>

		<description>Yes I&#039;m back.  But only because my husband woke up and I showed him the pink gun.  He mumbled something about me needing to get past the pink because it&#039;s a good one.  Sorry for my shortsightedness.  Goodnight for real now!</description>

		<description>Oh and no offense but a pink gun?  For real?  Not for me.  The only pink I want to see in my hands is my daughter&#039;s cute, frilly hair ribbons as I attempt to braid her hair (all the while imploring her to SIT STILL or they&#039;ll be crooked!)  But that&#039;s just me.  I also refuse to drive anything without at least 8 cylinders.  So what else ya got for gals who have moved beyond pink and want something a little more......ballsy - is that too unladylike to say?  hahahahaha.  Boy I&#039;m in rare form at this late hour!  A one woman party I am!  Better hit the hay.</description>

		<description>Nunya I agree!  I think I would have lost it after Tuesday if it wasn&#039;t for IMAO.  All my neighbors still have their Obama yard signs up and I KNOW they&#039;re just gloating (if you recall our McCain sign was stolen, as was its replacement.)  They DID leave the Yes on 8, but it was slashed to bits with a razor blade despite my husband pulling an all nighter w/pistol in hand (guess he dozed off.)  But despite this fierce opposition, I&#039;ve got a spring in my step thanks to IMAO!  So poo poo on you liberals!!!! (my husband likes to say &quot;poo poo on you Sulamie&quot; as it is his favorite line from a troll bashing I took once here at IMAO).  Anyhoo, knowing I&#039;m part of Frank&#039;s underground now helps spur me on!  My husband, too.  He&#039;s already planning on CHAINING our nativity to the tree this year for Christmas (how festive - yes folks, they stole baby Jesus last year - TWICE!)  Crap you&#039;d think we lived in the HOOD or something!  No, just liberal-land.  Welcome folks!  Leave your brains, morals, and love of freedom at the door!  Sheesh I&#039;m tired and noticeably incoherent.  Thanks again IMAO&#039;ers for cheering me WAY up!  G&#039;Night!</description>

		<description>#1, I giggle every time I visit this thread thanks to you.  8-)

Hey IMAOers?  FWIW, you all are the main reason that I have smiled, even laughed, since Tuesday.  You rock.  

We&#039;ll get through the next LOOOOOONG four years together, I hope.

IMAO truly is even a unique niche, isn&#039;t it?  I know of other conservative blogs of course, but not conservative humor ones.
And we&#039;ll need all the laughter we can get.

Thanks all, sincerely from the heart of my bottom.  Carry on.</description>

		<description>I carry a pistol everyday on my job. 
Charles Daly model 1911a, .45ACP, extended magazine and ambidextrious thumb safeties. (I&#039;m left handed). (My wife prefers a Smith &amp; Wesson model 66, .357magnum. 
The heavy frame helps her control the recoil, and she likes the simpler action of a wheel gun).
The last time I shot my qualifying rounds to renew my license the instructor said I failed because there was only one hole in the target; one large raggity hole. 
So I&#039;ve got skills, but making the decision to shoot, without hesitation, when there is a clear and imminent danger to myself and/or others is not made when I draw my gun from its holster. 
I make That decision every morning when I place my gun In its holster.
&#039;Works for me!&quot;

footnote: My instructors warned me that if I ever do shoot someone, even in self-defense, even if the authorities rule it a justifiable shooting, even if the Mayor pins a medal on me for ridding the community of a mother-stabbing, father-raping monster; I Will get sued. 
So I paid $26.00/month for Pre-Paid Legal insurance. 
Just in case. 
(they also do wills, contracts and other legal documents).</description>

The heavy frame helps her control the recoil, and she likes the simpler action of a wheel gun).<br />
The last time I shot my qualifying rounds to renew my license the instructor said I failed because there was only one hole in the target; one large raggity hole.<br />
So I&#8217;ve got skills, but making the decision to shoot, without hesitation, when there is a clear and imminent danger to myself and/or others is not made when I draw my gun from its holster.<br />
I make That decision every morning when I place my gun In its holster.<br />
&#8216;Works for me!&#8221;</p>
<p>footnote: My instructors warned me that if I ever do shoot someone, even in self-defense, even if the authorities rule it a justifiable shooting, even if the Mayor pins a medal on me for ridding the community of a mother-stabbing, father-raping monster; I Will get sued.<br />
So I paid $26.00/month for Pre-Paid Legal insurance.<br />
Just in case.<br />
(they also do wills, contracts and other legal documents).</p>

		<description>&quot;This is the Republican Underground!&quot;
Damn. I so wanted to be part of HellBender. Besides, the crudely drawn bunnies would have rocked.
Proposed Guiding Principle: Mock the libtards at every opportunity.

Thanks Frank. This is an excellent display of awesomeness. Fred would be proud. And when I write proud, I don&#039;t mean in a &quot;gay pride - look at me daddy! I&#039;ll bet this makes you mad!&quot; kind of way. I mean pride like an angry and vengeful Old Testament god looking down on the hairless monkeys worshiping you, and marveling that a small group has stopped eating their own poo.

Nadine - Go to a practice range that rents pistols.  Find a few that fit your hand comfortably, and then give them a try on the range to see which ones you like. The 1911 is an awesome weapon, but is too large for many women, and has a fairly strong recoil.  My ex really liked the Colt .380. Added bonus - she worked in a dangerous neighborhood, so a small weapons like the .380 is perfect because they are easily concealed.  For cheap, small, with weak recoil, try a .22.
Shotguns are great for home defense, but have way too much kick for most women. Some shotguns will bruise your shoulder after only one shot. If you practice with a shotgun, be sure to use a shooting pad to absorb some of the recoil. I suppose there are nancy-boy shotguns without powerful recoils, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a shotgun. Have fun.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Consolidate New England&lt;/b&gt;
Yeah, 50 states is a nice round number, but so is 40, and does a space the size of Delaware or Mass REALLY need to send two douchebags to the Senate?  From now on you get maybe two states and four such senators - or we split Alaska and Texas into our 51st through 345th states and vote your Luxumberg-type states back to Old England where they belong.

By the way, Mass is your new name - you shouldn&#039;t have a name so long that it can&#039;t possibly be written in your state.

&lt;b&gt;Give everyone guns, with one amendment&lt;/b&gt;
Truthfully, some people should not have a gun.  My ex-wife for example.  I&#039;d be dead by now because her mother wore too much makeup and my ex said something about it and started a fight.  That said, if you give a gun to a hippie and they say &quot;oh, I don&#039;t like guns&quot;, then feel free to take it from him and shoot him with it.  Now you have two guns and one less hippie.  Everyone wins.

By the way, if Obama is anything like the Clinton Administration and the so called &quot;Peace Dividend&quot;, save up your pennies because while it will be harder to get a Glock, purchasing a Cobra attack helecopter for the price of the aluminum may be fairly easy.  No lie.  They cut them in half and called that demilitarizing, but then people just welded them together.  Some guy in Texas had about a dozen in a warehouse, and some other guy in Montana was using one to shoot coyotes on his ranch.  I think it was a US News and World Report article at the time.  Get em before the Chinese do!  Again, like last time.

&lt;b&gt;Anyone taking money from Arabs should be disqualified from public office&lt;/b&gt;
That includes most of everyone from every administration since Nixon.  And especially people like Colon Powell, who got a Jaguar as a retirement present.  I&#039;m sure Obama is no exception.  

&lt;b&gt;Anyone going to college should be required to read CS Lewis and GK Chesterton, along with &quot;The Closing of the American Mind&quot;, so they know what they are about to deal with&lt;/b&gt;
I&#039;ve already pointed out how &quot;Screwtape Proposes a Toast&quot; is an outline of modern education&#039;s main failures and liberalism&#039;s chief destructive ability.  Chesterton and others have humorously and accurately predicted how insane education camps have become.  I hate sending our kids into places blind and having them graduate, much like scientogists, $100K poorer and basically insane.</description>

		<description>If you conservatives really want to get back into power where you can make a difference again, DESTROY THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM. The way congress is structured needs to be changed, the way elections are done need to be changed. The winner-take-all nature of our democracy needs to be changed. I don&#039;t know if it&#039;ll take instant run-off voting or what, but unless you can do away with the two party system (which needs to be done by the way, both sides can agree on that), then you guys will be a useless and impotent minority for longer than you want to contemplate.</description>

		<description>It has been my long held belief that the Federal govt is required to do these things, and only these things:
1.)  kill bad guys
2.) regulate interstate trade
3.)  subsidize gun ownership.


     its our 2nd Amendment, and not everyone can afford a personal firearm.  The govt should spread some of the firepower around to those of us who have fewer than 250k guns.</description>

		<description>Eros, thanks for the suggestions! It&#039;s more of a purchase for practice and just having the knowledge. But I&#039;d also like to be confident that, should the true need ever arise, I know how to safely handle a gun for my own (or others&#039;) protection. And I&#039;d like to utilize my right to own a gun under the 2nd Amendment while the amendment still exists. :)</description>

		<description>The Republicans need a top fuel dragster.  Nothing says raw power like an 8000 horsepower display of dominance.  Just a suggestion.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;My Pathetic state is also responsible for Obama winning&lt;/i&gt;

I can top that, #35.  My state (Nevada) WAS red, but went blue on Tuesday.  
And we&#039;re stuck with Harry Reid too, who was already in office before I moved here so no one better blame me for that one either.</description>

		<description>Nadine...are you talking for practice, or defense?  If it&#039;s for home defense (or for Obama&#039;s &quot;civil security&quot;, IE, Brown-shirts), I&#039;d suggest a Remington Room Sweeper (12 gauge combat shotgun).  If you haven&#039;t shot before, this gun gives you a slender chance of missing your target.  If it&#039;s for practice, just get yourself a .22.  They have very little kick, and ammunition is dirt cheap, giving you plenty of time at the range to be able improve your marksmanship.  Personally I love my AR-50 (able to reach out and touch a hippie at up to a mile out), but it&#039;s expensive to shoot.  If you can find a good deal, pick up a Remington 300.  It&#039;s what my uncle used as a sniper in vietnam.  8-mm Mauser (98) is a hell of a good gun as well, and you can usually pick one up for around $300 in decent shape.

Frank, looking for slogans?

*&quot;We never met a liberal we wouldn&#039;t punch.&quot;

*&quot;Able to drop liberals at 400 yards!&quot;

*&quot;We love the smell of gunpowder early in the morning...it smells like...America!&quot;

*&quot;Run, Hippie!  Run!&quot;

*&quot;Like the Republican party, but without all the RINO&#039;s.&quot;

*God, Guns and the Constitution!&quot;


Theme songs:

&quot;Hit Between the Eyes&quot; by the Scorpions

&quot;March of the S.O.D. / Sergeant D&quot; by S.O.D.

&quot;Hook in Mouth&quot; by Megadeth, though replace PMRC with DNC

F is for fighting
R is for red,
Our ancestor&#039;s blood in the battles they shed

E we elect &#039;em
E we eject &#039;em
In the land of the free and the home of the brave

D is for dying
O your overture
M they will cover your grave in manure

This spells out FREEDOM, means nothing to me
as long as there&#039;s a DNC!</description>
