Another day, another bunch of boxes to pack

You want really heavy? I’ve got ammunition to move. A lot. Amounts that would cause a reporter to wet their panties in fear. Crivens, you’d think that stuff was made out of lead! Oh, wait, never mind.

We got a lot done yesterday. My brother came down with his pickup truck, and we boxed and hauled several loads over. Most of the day was spent folding and packing clothing. About half of that is moved already. I would really love to have nothing in this place by Saturday other than large furniture and the TV set. Keep dreaming Drew.

And I haven’t even started on the garage. Maybe if I get “bored” moving kitchen stuff I’ll take a “break” and schlep over some more gun stuff from my reloading factory in the garage. Crap, I’ve got 40 pounds of gunpowder out there. And only Teh One knows how much in bullets. That’s the downside to shooting large caliber rifles for fun - a handful of bullets weighs a pound. And I have cases of them.

This must be really boring to a lot of you, so here’s a link to the latest Ann Coulter column, Liberal Lies About Health Care, Part 2. Enjoy.

Despite being a thousand pages long, the health care bills passing through Congress are strikingly nonspecific. (Also, in a thousand pages, Democrats weren’t able to squeeze in one paragraph on tort reform. Perhaps they were trying to save paper.)

These are Trojan Horse bills. Of course, they don’t include the words “abortion,” “death panels” or “three-year waits for hip-replacement surgery.”

That proves nothing—the bills set up unaccountable, unelected federal commissions to fill in the horrible details. Notably, the Democrats rejected an amendment to the bill that would specifically deny coverage for abortions.

After the bill is passed, the Federal Health Commission will find that abortion is covered, pro-lifers will sue, and a court will say it’s within the regulatory authority of the health commission to require coverage for abortions.

Then we’ll watch a parade of senators and congressmen indignantly announcing, “Well, I’m pro-life, and if I had had any idea this bill would cover abortions, I never would have voted for it!”

No wonder Democrats want to remind us that they can’t be trusted with foreign policy. They want us to forget that they can’t be trusted with domestic policy.

Have you written, emailed, and called your elected representatives about this insane bill this week? Do so. It’s wrong is every possible way. And “quangos” are just wrong. Period. Every aspect of the entire government must be open to public scrutiny and accountability. (except for spies and military secrets) Kill the Bill !

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
