Breeze: Two things. First, I haven’t voted Republican since 1996 (meaning, I didn’t vote for Dubya either time and I didn’t vote for McCain), and you’re conveniently ignoring that NYT article about the Yemeni released from Gitmo who is now an al-Qaeda chief.

As always, you play fast and loose with the facts, or ignore the ones that are inconvenient to you.

Breeze: Okay, let’s discuss your two items, shall we?

1) Level economic playing field? How, exactly? And I mean EXACTLY? Through regulation? Better oversight? Give us the facts, man, give us the facts! The plan that Obama is executing was written by Paulson! I’m curious, was there substantial regulation and oversight in place during Clinton’s tenure? You may want to research that one before answering, especially the part about how much of the dot.com wealth was made and who made it (see Frank Quattrone and CSFB, for example).

2) How is Obama “de-emphasizing” the war in Iraq? The combat phase of the war has been over for a while now and plans to augment US forces in Afghanistan have been in motion ever since NATO dropped the ball there a year ago. And, as you yourself have said, these things take time, right? You don’t just move combat brigades in a couple of weeks. The plans for both Iraq and Afghanistan pre-date Obama and by a considerable period.

Uh, Breezie, I hate to whiz in your Cheerios, but wasn’t it a right-wing nutjob (Paulson) who authored the document that Obama is using as his template? Go check on that and get back to me. I’ve attached the link to the NYT story that references it:

Hey, I’ve also got to ask you: Didn’t you get the sense during that overblown coronation, I mean inauguration, ceremony of a throwback to 1936 Nuremburg, what with all the huge flags and bunting? Hell, the only things missing were those massive drums and the cheering blond Hitler Youth in the front row. Weren’t you channeling your inner Leni Riefenstahl? You’ll want to look her up on Wikipedia.

That ceremony cost $160MM, by the way. Couldn’t the Great Leader have better spent that money on feeding poor children?

Chris: Why is what TG said hogwash? I’ve done firearm instruction in both the military and civilian life and it’s commonsensical: The more rounds you put through a weapon, the more proficient with it you’ll become.

Obviously, access to a live fire MOUT (military operations urban terrain) facility would be ideal in teaching someone how to use a weapon, but we know its also unrealistic.

For nearly everyone involved in a shooting, the noise and recoil can be overwhelming. For that reason, always try to shoot the type of round you’ll be using in an actual situation. Meaning, if you own a .357 Mag and plan on shooting magnum ammo, don’t exclusively use .38 Special when you target shoot. Instead become familiar with .357 ammo on the range. If you have the chance, go to an unsupervised outdoor shooting area and fire the weapon without hearing and eye protection to simulate the actual conditions of a shootout.

For anyone that’s actually been in a firefight, the noise is unbelievable, and all of your actions are driven by muscle memory. The How and Why of training thus becomes of primary importance.
