Sometimes people say things without thinking. When I announced plans to wed, my father said if I married "that boy", "you will never have a pot to p*&S in or a window to throw it out of."

When we bought our first home six years later, I took my dad by the hand and walked him through the house, counting out loud. He asked me what I was doing. I told him, "I'm counting the windows I have so I can throw out the p*&s pot." He had no recollection of every telling me that.

That "boy" and I just celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary.

If the Ozarks are becoming more progressive, I could only see it happening in the cities. I would certainly think it to be less progressive outside of Rolla, Springfield, and Joplin. But I suppose that given the amount Obama was able to sway voters in the area, who knows.

Yep, Rolla has become so progressive that even some of the rednecks are for Obama and his extremely liberal policies.

Rednecks for Obama? Whatever floats their boat I suppose. Here, read this, an excerpt from an e-mail I received this week from the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Rednecks for Obama! Are they going to be in for a shock when it comes to gun ownership!

Dear Senators: July 7, 2009

As Americans who have dedicated themselves to protecting the Second Amendment right of U.S. citizens to keep and bear arms, we urge you not to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the next associate justice of the United States Supreme Court.

It is extremely important that a Supreme Court justice understand and appreciate the origin and meaning of the Second Amendment, a constitutional guarantee permanently enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Judge Sotomayor's record on the Second Amendment causes us grave concern over her treatment of this enumerated constitutional right.

Last year, the Supreme Court decided the landmark case District of Columbia v. Heller, holding that the Second Amendment guarantees to all law-abiding, responsible citizens the individual right to keep and bear arms, particularly for self-defense. Following Heller, the Supreme Court is almost certain to decide next year whether the Second Amendment applies to states and local governments, as it does to the federal government (see NRA v. Chicago and McDonald v. Chicago.)

While on the Second Circuit, Judge Sotomayor revealed her views on the right to keep and bear arms in Maloney v. Cuomo, a case decided after Heller, yet holding that the Second Amendment is not a fundamental right, that it does not apply to the states, and that if an object is "designed primarily as a weapon" that is a sufficient basis for total prohibition even within the home. Earlier in a 2004 case, United States v. Sanchez-Villar, Sotomayor and two colleagues perfunctorily dismissed a Second Amendment claim holding that "the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right." Imagine if such a view were expressed about other fundamental rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, such as the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments.

Surprisingly, Heller was a 5-4 decision, with some justices arguing that the Second Amendment does not apply to private citizens or that if it does, even a total gun ban could be upheld if a "legitimate governmental interest" could be found. The dissenting justices also found D.C.'s absolute ban on handguns within the home to be a "reasonable" restriction. If this had been the majority view, then any gun ban could be upheld, and the Second Amendment would be meaningless.

The Second Amendment survives today by a single vote in the Supreme Court. Both its application to the states and whether there will be a meaningfully strict standard of review remain to be decided by the High Court. Judge Sotomayor has already revealed her views on these issues and we believe they are contrary to the intent and purposes of the Second Amendment and Bill of Rights. As Second Amendment leaders deeply concerned about preserving all fundamental rights for current and future generations of Americans, we strongly oppose this nominee, and urge the Senate not to confirm Judge Sotomayor.

But Curmudgeon, how are we going to get away from this? At the rate we're going in California, pretty soon one of the only ways we'll be able to get anywhere will be in something like this!
Yes, that would happen to be our Governor, one Arnold Schwarzenegger in this photograph!
Would even Roger Rabbit let himself be caught dead in one of these high-voltage death traps?
Would Steve Urkel??!!
Our "progressiveness" here in California threatens to spread to the Ozarks like the swine flu!
