I don't care if they're ten-year-old products of genetic engineering. If they're old enough to raise a weapon against our troops, I don't intend to send our troops anywhere to be targets; they're warriors.

I'm sure that's how the idf feels about those stone throwing Palestinians who think that they can bottle out of being treated as armed combatants with this bullshit excuse that they're underaged.

There's a bit of a difference between a kid with a rock and one with an AK-47.

Yep. A ten year old stands a better chance of hitting you with a rock.


At age 12, I was shooting 3" groups at 300 meters. I've been shooting rifle, shotgun and/or pistol since I was 6. I got my first shotgun (an ithaca 20 gauge) when I was 9 and I was pretty good at busting clay birds within a coupla weeks. Trust me on this one. Some 4' tall brat with a firearm can fuck up your whole day. That applies to little gangstas in the hood as well as child soldiers in the Congo.

Check your facts. The media is stuggling, that much is true, but it's the major networks, and print newspapers that are losing advertisers because of dwindling subscription rates. Talk radio (with the notable exception of Air America) has been thriving for decades.


Check yours. Talk radio, except for NPR, has done a nose dive in the past four years, and over the past two, down well over 35% (depending on which show).

People are using social media more to vent, and Rush's older white male audience is dying off.

Fair enough.
I was thinking more of AK's being notoriously hard to aim than anything else, but I'll bow to your superior knowledge on this.

He doesn't mention the affiliates that have allegedly dropped the show. I don't know if that means that it hasn't happened or he's try to do damage control, there.


It's happened here in Massachusetts... The western half of the state no longer airs him. Kid yourself all you want ... it's hurting plenty. IF NOT RUSH WOULD BE AS SILENT AS HE WAS WHEN HE GOT POPPED WITH ALL THOSE CLASS D NARCOTICS.
It's a fact in the broadcast business, when YOU are the object of scrutiny, you don't add to your damage by dragging it out. And the ONLY REASON to keep mentioning the SCANDAL is to try and do damage control because the bleeding is continual and MASSIVE.

For over 40 years, a lot of our special ops people have used the AK in certain situations.
If it's good enough for them, I'd say it's a pretty good weapon. That includes ease of use.

I've never fired one but I'd love to.

I've fired a Norinko (I think that's how it was spelled) AK (Non-military). It only had the single fire option but, I quickly learned a "trick" to make it "semi-auto" (without breaking any laws, I'm talking about). It was very "huah!"



Peace and comfort,

This is all hearsay, but the lads I've talked to who've used the things (mostly TA reservists or former squaddies) take the line that it's a very solid and reliable rifle, but it's also a lot harder to control than those Armalite SA80 things our army went over to when they stopped using FNs in the '80s. I think the AK's selling point was always its reliability, and I'd imagine that a bit of inaccuracy is going to a fairly minor problem that's rather outweighed by something being a very low maintenance rifle that's difficult to break.

As for the special ops thing, might that be more of a deniability issue than anything else?

That does sound cold, now that you mention it. Particularly since his army consists of children stolen from their parents against their will.

They are kidnapped, doped and coerced into fighting. Some of these "combatants" are forced to murder family members.

ETA: And the stolen girls are sexually enslaved, doped, and expected to fight as well.

Rush didn't mention that Fox is undoubtedly paying for his own health care when he was savaging him, but good point.


Well, Fox is Candian so Rush's pennies are safe in any event.

I have nothing but sympathy for the plight of these children. It's a horrible thing that's going on over there. I know there's a few that like to jump on any chance to paint me as a bad guy but ...

If I'm wearing an American flag on my shoulder and they point a weapon at me, their life, as far as I am concerned is forfeit. I don't care why they're pointing that weapon at me. The plain, hard truth is: that weapon can kill me. I will go home, at the end of the day/tour. I will not become a martyr to people who think I should die to satisfy their morals. I wouldn't ask it of any soldier that keeps us safe.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Your post fails to note who owns the liberal media.
Don't you think it prudent to actually know what you are talking about before you commit your opinion to print?

Status: online "There was an article in my local paper last week about the local Girl Scouts pulling their cookie ad from Rush. Apparently, they had bought a block of ads from Clear Channel, some of which were on the Limbaugh show. The GS were not aware of this apparently, and chose to pull their ads from Rush and all other opinion type talk radio.

You should have heard the gnashing of teeth among the cons who decried this decision and vowed never to buy another box of Thin Mints (yum) in their lives.



Difference between the Girl Scouts of America's official response to a reaction by fundamentally logic challenged 'adults' and Limbaugh's fans penalizing a Non-profit benefiting young girls around the country?
The difference is this GSA is TAKES RESPONSIBILITY for being a moral guide for young girls developing into morally and ethically well rounded members of society. And to just ignore the placement of the commercials would be a huge mistake and failure to follow through on their goals and principals. They took action independent of any 'boycott' to prevent being compromised or send an AWFUL message to their young membership.
The circus-like response to the action taken only serves to support the notion that the average Rush Limbaugh fan is many cards shy of a full deck.
But what I am most proud of being an avid supporter of scouting, is that the Girl Scouts of America are willing to gut these nominal losses in preservation of their principals in a relatively silent and tasteful manner.

Too bad the Limpologists can't take a lesson from this.

If one voluntarily joins the military with the preconcieved notion that he will do as he pleases seems a bit at odds with the sworn oath one would take to follow all lawful orders.

Well, "Amen" but, if I needed to "counter" that I would say: "Where there's life, there's hope!" Appeals, etc.
