Disgusting lunatics

Thanks to the likes of Hillbilly Clinton and Nasty Pelosi we now know what the Democrats think of white male voters. They said that white men vote republican because of guns, gays, and God. I am not sure what "gays" has to do with anything but I am for the guns and God and if she isn't, well I'm sure God will forgive her. Obama seems overly fond of the gays so I won't touch that. Kerry said refrigerators are more dangerous than ISIS. No matter how dangerous they are, using a refrigerator for self-defense just doesn't make sense to me so I am thinking of trading my refrigerator for another rifle. Do you suppose there are any "Assault" refrigerators with high capacity ice cube trays? Am I being silly, a little facetious? Maybe so, but no more than any other nut in the asylum. .

Et Cetera !

More blood, more killings, more spin, by the media. Its not a Muslim problem we are told, its a gun problem! So, how do we explain innocent people's deaths by machete, axe, car bomb, knife, suicide belt, cargo truck, IEDs, pressure cookers, et cetera? I forgot to add stoning, burning, drowning, throwing off roofs, and last, but not least, crucifixion. Did I miss any?
How did the media take away the Islamic element and end up blaming my guns? I have owned and shot guns for over 40 years and never once killed anyone. I don't know about you but I am tired of the drivel from the President saying the world has never been safer. Or blockhead Kerry saying we are more likely to die due to air conditioners and freezers than ISIS. If this is true then ban Air Conditioners and not my rifles! Do you suppose Kerry has central air in his houses, air conditioning in his cars, refrigerators in his kitchens? No doubt, but he is part of the elitists who are never a part of the problem, only us ignorant proletariats, we're the problem.

More Blood, More Madness

Three more officers killed and three wounded in Baton Rouge, LA. I suppose we'll get another lecture from the POS in the white house about how we have to try harder to understand the Black perspective. How about if we just all stop killing people? White, Black, Yellow, just stop the killing! Where is this madness coming from? The hating needs to stop or maybe we need to have a final showdown and just get it all over with. Lock and Load! May the best man win. It's madness.

What sort of idiot says its easier for a black kid to buy a Glock than a book? What kind of malevolent moron stokes the fires of hate and racism and then cries the victim card? What sort of designer drugs is he doing in the People's House?    

Prayers offered again for the injured and the survivors and loved ones of those killed.

Atrocity in Dallas

Prayers are out for the Law Enforcement men shot in Dallas, those wounded, those killed and all of their friends and loved ones. We are in perilous times and our president can only talk about gun control and white prejudice. These are topics unfit to be discussed in the same breath as the tragedy so may people are suffering from. If we don't start coming together as a people we are going to see a lot of turmoil and chaos coming down the road. Its time the race baiters and haters were drowned out by the calls of Americans to stand together against violence in all its forms.

fighting knife sale

I have listed more of my collection of fighting knives for sale on the Fairbairn website. Some of them are very  hard to let go but I have purchased another rare commando knife from England and now I have to "pay the piper." So if you might be in the market for a bowie or a fighting knife to add to your collection please check my site out at http://www.fairbairnsykesfightingknives.com/

You might just find that special knife you have been looking for. That's how I felt when I bought each one of them and now reluctantly part with a few. I am open to trades or reasonable offers but please be reasonable. Here are some shots of some of the knives. I prefer money orders but will accept paypal. Full descriptions and prices are on the website.

The Fix is In

Truer words were never spoken, The Fix Is In! What I hate the worst is the snarky POTUS (aka POS) flying Miss Daisy to a rally in North Carolina at your and my expense on the most extravagant airplane in the USA. And of course lets take the next Supreme Court nominee, Loretta Lynch, along too. She earned her wings last week working a deal with Slick Willie.

OSS commemorative

OK I am going to try to get away from politics for a bit! They are more corrosive than soaking in a vat of sulfuric acid. Like acid you cannot touch them without coming away scarred. So lets talk about my second most powerful addiction, knives, fighting knives in particular.


I just bought this unusual F-S knife from a good friend John Gibson. Yes you have seen his name on here before. It is obviously a post war knife, but who made it? It has a typical British machine ground blade, indicating Sheffield make. But in over 45 years of collecting I have never seen one before today. I like the way the letters O.S.S. are etched in a diagonal stripe, very racy looking. The handle is very distinctive too. The typical third pattern rings are cut into sections by longitudinal cuts. This is another characteristic which is unique to this knife. I suspect the gripping power is much better than on a standard third pattern  knife.

It is accompanied by a traditional sheath which shows some age. I presume they are a set but the sheath could be older. I am looking forward to receiving it and adding it to our collection and book. Speaking of the book I may have to divide it into two volumes. Some people have suggested I start a group funding site to raise money for the first printing. I am having poor luck finding a publisher in this economy. Had I started one at a dollar a hit when I first launched my website I would have almost $100,000 to pay for printing. That's the difference between a businessman and an artist.
 

Incompetent or Complicit


Incompetent or Complicit

Take your choice of the above and decide where you feel the President and his administration lie. For example, of all people, John Kerry ought to have at least a fundamental grasp of guerilla warfare and terrorism.  How many “Leaders” have our Administration already killed? How many innocent victims have been killed too, just for a fleeting headline, a phantom victory?  As a nation, are we so stupid that we do not know terrorism is formed in cells, able to operate independently without a commander in chief? Are our leaders so ignorant that they think killing one more leader affects the overall capability of ISIS? Since when do three muslim attackers qualify as a lone wolf, singular? Why do muslim terrorists carry rifles, while American civilians carry “ASSAULT” rifles? Why are AR-15s  demonized while the AK-47scarried by the vast majority of muslim terrorists are characterized as “long rifles”?

Terrorism is not about taking cities and holding ground. As soon as ISIS started doing that they started having higher casualty rates. Terrorism is about striking fear and “terror” into the hearts of the common people. It is NOT about killing soldiers because they know that  by killing civilians, creating havoc and taking away from us all of our supposedly “safe” places  they can have a greater effect. These same safe places are also known as “Gun-Free” zones. The height of insanity is that even our military bases have become gun-free zones. Our administration has offered us up as targets for terrorists, either through ignorance or through intention.  While ISIS operates freely, like spilled mercury, we are being corralled and restricted, more freedoms stripped away, more surveillance focused on us, the VICTIMS.  Incompetent or Complicit?

While we are forced to live under increasingly stricter gun control laws, laws that preclude law abiding citizens from protecting themselves in target rich venues and activities. The government, conveniently arrives just in the nick of time to take the body count and talk to the press. But we are told to be brave and do not buckle under to the pressure of terrorists or they have won. In the meantime our president travels around the world, with a small army by his side, apologizing for our shameful “Islamaphobia,” while riding in his 20 ton armored car. I ask you, Incompetent or Complicit?
