Obama's Airplane

Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail of the aircraft.
What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a symbol of himself. Wake up folks.

Obama Is Nothing Without Teleprompter

This is an amazing video of Barack giving a speech when his teleprompter goes on the blink. He is unable to form a coherent sentence, struggling to think of something to say as he repeatedly sneaks peeks at the teleprompter screen locations hoping that his script has reappeared.

This is a real hoot, to watch the Obamassiah trying to think of something to say all on his very own, and failing miserably. No wonder he is dodging any sort of free-form debate with McCain.

I've Been Everywhere Except These Places

It's vacation time, the better half and I are hitting the road tomorrow and will be back next week. I'll take the laptop 'puter in case I want to update the blog. Everyone in southeast Texas, hold down the fort while I'm on the road.

P.S. Note to burglars- I armed the house alarm system, put out half rations for the three dobermans and all of my good neighborhood watch neighbors are armed to the gills.

Bob for President

Vote for Me for President

I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE. HERE IS MY PLATFORM:

(1) Press 1 for English is immediately banned. English is the official
language, speak it or wait at the border until you can.

(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist posture to
straighten out the country's attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will
use the 'Walmart' policy 'If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'

(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100% import tax on it.

(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man one of our
many observation towers on the southern border. (six month tour) They
will be under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND aliens.

(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If
you didn't put nuttin in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The President,
or any other politician, will not be able to touch it.

(6) Welfare checks will be handed out on Fridays at the end of the 40
hour school week and the successful completion of urinalysis and a
passing grade.

(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you check
positive you're banned for life.

(8) Crime - There will be sudden and swift punishment. If you steal, if you sell illegal drugs, if you molest children...you go to prison. If you commit murder you will be imprisoned AND executed. This will all apply to members of Congress.

(9) One export will be allowed, wheat; the world needs to eat. A
bushel of wheat will be the exact price of a barrel of oil.

(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money will immediately
cease, and the saved money will pay off the national debt and
ultimately lower taxes. When disasters occur around the world, we'll
ask the American people if they want to donate to a disaster fund, and
each citizen can make the decision whether it's a worthy cause.

(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day at school and
every day in Congress.

(12) The National Anthem will be played at all appropriate ceremonies,
sporting events, outings, etc.

A vote for me will get you a whole lot better than what you have,
and better than what you're gonna get.

Thanks for listening, and remember to write in "Texas Gulf Coast Gab Bob" on the ballot in November.

God Bless America.

Heller's Handgun Application Denied

Here comes another lawsuit for the city to flush money down the drain after denying Dick Heller's rights. It looks like the Supreme Court is going to have to drag the Mayor and City Council kicking and screaming to recognize this man's rights.


WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- District residents can start registering their guns today. But at least one very high profile application was already rejected.

Dick Heller is the man who brought the lawsuit against the District's 32-year-old ban on handguns. He was among the first in line Thursday morning to apply for a handgun permit.

But when he tried to register his semi-automatic weapon, he says he was rejected. He says his gun has seven bullet clip. Heller says the City Council legislation allows weapons with fewer than eleven bullets in the clip. A spokesman for the DC Police says the gun was a bottom-loading weapon, and according to their interpretation, all bottom-loading guns are outlawed because they are grouped with machine guns.

Besides obtaining paperwork to buy new handguns, residents also can register firearms they've had illegally under a 180-day amnesty period.

Though residents will be allowed to begin applying for handgun permits, city officials have said the entire process could take weeks or months.

Welcome to the wonderful world of government bureaucracy especially in Washington D.C., I won't expect anything less from them.

Quotes From The Wise Ones

Our founding fathers and a few wise fellows that followed knew it was imperative that we were able to bear arms to protect ourselves from tyranny. Here are a few of their quotes:

Thomas Jefferson wrote "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."

George Mason said "To disarm the people -- that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

James Madison stated that tyrants were "afraid to trust the people with arms," and lauded "the advantage of being armed, which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation."

Elbridge Gerry said "What, sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. Whenever governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."

Noah Webster, the prominent political essayist who fought in the Revolutionary War, wrote: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."

Samuel Adams said "That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."

Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to George Washington- "One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them."

Thomas Jefferson is right on the money, I love my guns and I hope I never need to use one. But if the occasion rises, I will not hesitate.

Now Here Is The Plan

1) Back off and allow those men who want to marry men, marry men.

2) Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.

3) Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.

4) In three generations, there will be no Democrats!!!

You got to love it when a plan comes together.

P.S. I have 4 extra tickets for the Robbie Knievel (son of Evil Knievel) event at the Coliseum this weekend if anybody wants them.

He's going to try to jump 1000 Obama supporters with a Bulldozer.
Should be a good time. Just let me know if you can use the tickets.

I'm As Dumb As They Come

Last Friday, a reader posted a comment inferring that I was smarter than Philip Klein, a local blogger and owner of a political relations firm in mid-county. First let me set the record straight, I’m not any smarter than 99.99% of the people in this world. I grew up in rural Jasper County, Texas, so I like to describe myself as a simple country boy, no formal education other than a high school diploma back in the late ‘60’s. My only expanded education consisted of summer school at the end of 7th grade. That was embarrassing moment for sure, while all my friends were off playing that summer. Now with that said, you can figure out that I wasn’t the valedictorian of my graduating class. After graduation from high school, I went into the Navy and served my country during the Vietnam War for four years. Then back to southeast Texas to get a job and raise a family. Though there were times that I wished I went to college and earned a degree, those days are faded. As for any smarts I possess, they were obtained from the College of Hard Knocks.

Secondly, I read other blogs, once in awhile, I read Gus Pillsbury’s blog, and I do admire his style with words and fact checking Philip Klein’s blog. I appreciate him mentioning Texas Gulf Coast Gab’s poll and hope more readers visit. One can tell from his writings that he is a highly educated person, but his background is unknown. I hope he never mentions my bad grammar and sentence structures. And on occasion, I read Philip Klein’s blog, our politics tend to parallel, it is simple to read, nothing fantastic, understandable to the average person, but most of the content should be taken with a grain of salt. The Southeast Texas Political Review has too much hate for southeast Texas and the local elected officials. If Philip Klein has a problem with the Jefferson County system, then he should run for political office and try to change it. His continuous description of Jefferson County as being corrupt does not serve justice to the good citizens of this area. Maybe not being so mean spirited would greatly improve his blog but that is his style, his freedom of expression and his right to do so.

Other great blogs to read include Texas Fred, Fred believes God, guns and guts make this country great. Also check out The SE Texas Bayou, Gator can turn humor into saying something serious and something serious into humor. Another blog to my liking is Buck’s blog, though for the last few months, Buck has been in the ICU blog world but it looks as if he is cranking back up.

To sum it up, I’m no smarter than any other blogger, most of us are brain dead, and that is my own dumb personal opinion.

Obama Uses Police Officer Memorial For Porta-Potties

At the end of May, Barack Obama visited Portland, Oregon for a campaign rally. Now the Portland police officers are asking for an apology after they said organizers of a Barack Obama rally set up Porta-Potties on a memorial honoring fallen officers. The Portland Police Memorial honors the departments 25 fallen police officers. The only response from the Obama campaign was "the Porta-Potties were placed at the memorial because of a safety issue for wheelchair access."

I'm outraged at the Obama campaign for their insensitivity to these police officers killed in the line of duty and their families. If it makes you mad too, contact the Obama campaign here and express your views on this travesty.

35-year Vet Suspended w/ 15 Minutes Left in Last Shift

New Orleans police Sgt. Robert L. Guidry received a call from a supervisor telling him he had been suspended for wearing the wrong uniform shirt with minutes left in the last shift of his 35 year career serving the good and bad element of New Orleans. Now this is the craziest story that I read this week. It's bad enough that the N.O. cops took a vacation during Hurricane Katrina but some are decent police officers and deserve an award for valour just for working in that hell hole. This all happens at a time when NOPD is short-handed and trying to recruit new officers. Maybe some of the Kirbyville PD officers that left this week might want to apply for jobs, surely it pays more than the $13/hr. wage the City of Kirbyville was paying their men.

Way to go shameful New Orleans, a man gives you 35 years of service to your hell hole community, plans on retiring and still be an reserve officer, but you screw him over with less than 15 minutes remaining in a career that spanned half his life.

Everyone have a safe weekend and thank a police officer next time you see one.

Care and Maintenance of Leather Holsters

Care and maintenance of a leather holster is very important to all CHL holders. Here are some tips to follow if you wear a leather holster, especially an IWB holster.

1. A new holster may be very tight when you receive it. If so, wrap your unloaded firearm in wax paper, saran wrap, or plastic bags and insert it into the holster. Remove it after a few seconds and check the fit. If it still needs loosened, leave the wrapped firearm inserted for longer, overnight if necessary. You can also add layers of wrap, to speed the process. Another method is to simply use the holster. Being leather, it will mold itself to your firearm over time with use.


2. If you desire to shine your leather products, use only a paste wax, such as kiwi in the flat cans. Buff to a shine. Never oil molded leather. It will soften the leather and take away retention.

3. Always remove your firearm from your holster when you aren’t wearing it. The leather needs to breath and any moisture that may have collected needs to evaporate.

4. Never allow your holster to be flattened. The molding procedure leaves the holster three dimensional and it needs to stay this way. If it becomes flattened at any point, you can expect it to
stay flattened.

5. If you need to remove your gun, for more than a brief moment, remove your holster from your body. Without your gun, your holster will be more apt to become flattened and lose its rigidity. This is especially important if you wear your belt cinched tight or anticipate sitting or bending over without
your gun in the holster.

6. If your holster becomes wet for any reason, remove it as soon as possible. Ensure the holster shape is maintained by pressing around your unloaded firearm. Carefully remove your firearm and gently set your holster aside to dry, under a fan, if possible (don’t forget to dry and oil your gun, rust
is ugly).

There are plenty of holster makers and all of them can be found on the internet. This gives you the opportunity to shop and compare. Also different gun forums have plenty of threads on different holster makers, models and styles.

143 Days

Cheri Jacobus, founder of Capitol Strategies and political consultant, sums up Barack Obama with this statement.

"From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced the formation of a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days.

I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that !"

Ain't it the truth.

Remember What the 4th of July Really Means

This is a group of very talented and adorable young ladies, The Catcus Cuties.

The 4th of July has been traditionally thought of as a celebration of our independence from an oppressive government. Friends, lets pray that next year, we will not be in a position of oppression with a new president. It could easily happen if we let Obama win.

I'm off to celebrate with family and friends, and will be back next week. Everyone have a safe holiday weekend.
