Inglourious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds, the new WWII movie by Quentin Tarantino hit the theaters this weekend. By now, there is a good chance you have already heard a lot of talk about it. And, for good reason!

Not only did I enjoy it, but everyone else in the packed theater seemed to as well. My plan was to write a lengthy review of the movie. But, after seeing it, I realize that any attempt to describe it would come up short. So, below are my thoughts of the movie in a brief 17 words (not including the "bring a strong stomach" disclaimer)

Inglourious Basterds: Definitely has shock value! Funny and disturbing at the same time! Be sure to check it out!.. and bring a strong stomach!

Patriotic Rodeos

It seems that this time of year my daughter and I go to a lot of rodeos. Aside from being a fun and exciting sport to watch, there is something else that has always stood out to me... Rodeos always seem to be very patriotic in nature. I'm always glad when my daughter is exposed to this!

The following photo was taken at a rodeo we went to this weekend.

If you have never been to a rodeo, be sure to check one out!

Stop Michael Bloomberg

On a recent appearance on "Meet the Press," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he would raise money to counter the influence of the NRA. Of course, as anti-gunners regularly do, Bloomberg ignores the fact that the NRA only has clout because they represent the beliefs of tens of millions of Americans who oppose the anti-gun agenda. Recent polling has repeatedly shown that the majority of Americans support the individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

If you are not yet a member of the NRA, please consider JOINING NOW. NRA Membership is one of the strongest things you can do to prevent those like Mayor Bloomberg from taking about your Second Amendment Rights.

JOIN THE NRA NOW and receive $10 off regular yearly membership. That makes one year of NRA Membership ONLY $25!
