Notes From HPS

Putting aside reader opposition to or support for the Bundy claims, and ignoring allegations of Reid’s (and his son Rory’s) personal interests in the disposition of the land in question, what must be examined is what the senator must mean if he seriously believes his accusation.
Just another means to do what the collectivists have wanted to do all along. Disarm us. Bhaa. Come and take them.
Don’t miss Mike Vanderboegh’s speech in Nevada. Mike reminds us that he’s a Yankee by birth, but given his current station in life, we’ll forgive him for that.
So we discussed that “missing M-16” didn’t we? It’s been found.
An M-16 rifle missing since 2006 was found in a deputy’s home, the Davis County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.
Detectives said they concluded a yearlong investigation into what happened to the missing M-16 rifle after a deputy came forward and said he had forgotten about putting the gun into a gun safe in his home before deploying to Afghanistan. He had requested permission to borrow the M-16 for training purposes for the Davis County SWAT team he was a member of in 2006, investigators said.
The gun remained in the deputy’s gun safe from that time until Friday, according to the sheriff’s office. He told investigators he had not thought about the M-16 since 2006 until he saw reports of the missing rifle in the newspaper.
How many of you would “forget” about an M-16 you put in your gun safe? Yea, that’s what I thought.
And here is the comment of the day from WRSA from Tom in Ohio.
I’m really curious….. Where were all the Tea Party supported politicians during the Bundy Ranch event? Where were all the Rand Paul’s, the Mike Lee’s, the Ted Cruz’s, the Sarah Palin’s, the Marco Rubio’s????? The conservatives in this country are searching for a leader. Where the hell are they? Why didn’t they support the Patriot Movement? Why didn’t they make THEIR stand against government over reach? I guess I’m really not disappointed because I never really expected them to really take a stand on anything like this. A case in point in why there is NO voting our way out of this mess. It is truly up to the people to sort this thing out.
Tea party politicians. Officially UA.
UA cannot be an excuse for this load of crap from Charles C.W. Cooke, spoken like a true Brit, a subject of the Queen.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
The TEA party was a bust when it hit Washington. We sent a bunch of guys up there and they flipped.
That is the main reason we cannot change the trajectory with elections. Whom ever we elect will roll over like an unloved puppy.
We need to be sending people to Washington that do not want the job.

The problem is that you see the Tea Party (or republicans ) as being “different” from the democrats. The only real difference is the lies they tell us and the promises they don’t keep. They’re politicians, and are NOT concerned with representing “we the people”. The ONLY thing a politician is concerned with is staying in power, and they do that by keeping their collective noses planted firmly in the anal pores of the special interest groups that paid to get them into office.

Regarding the missing weapon story. I do not know the backstory.
However, I’ll share a little…
About 1986? My engineer squad were laying training anti-tank and anti-personnel mines in woods and pastures, and per SOP my Sgt. was arming the fuses after mapping. Fusing of mines is done without helmet or rifle.(helmets were steel) I put his rifle and helmet on my alice.
I was a pv2 and when some shit detail was demanded from the CO. I was sent to the toc, to fulfill my squad’s quota of latrine diggers or something.
About an hour later, the whole company was put on line to walk through to look for a missing weapon.
On the second pass through, the guy next to me inquired as to why I had two rifles and two helmets. My Sgt. forgot who he gave his weapon to… and I forgot I had an extra.
