  • I fell through the sky!!

    "I never thought I'd thank George, but thank ya sir! I took myself skydiving! It was the best ride of my life! I highly recommend jumping out of a plane (with a parachute that is)!!

  • The 2nd Amendment - One Stimulus Check At A Time

    "I used my own money (the government isn't giving us anything that isn't already ours) to exercise my 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. This nice, used Glock 23 came with some extra high-capacity magazines. If BO gets in office there is no doubt my rights will be under attack more than they already are. Legal firearm, law-abiding citizen. What makes America great. "
