Gunfighter: A Modern Warrior's Life

The Modern Conservative (1)

Modern Conservatism:  A political position that supports the notion that the United States government is the enemy of the people; is evil; and only exists to oppress the taxpayer.  The only legitimate expenditures of tax money is to waste it on military adventurism, hire more cops (and give them less authority), and to spy on other Americans. 

 

The modern conservative is a knee-jerk reactionary who spends a lot of time spouting about the US Constitution, but doesn't really know what is in it.

 

The modern conservative loves the armed forces... and loves sending them off to fight in unnecessary wars, and then complains about the cost of fighting said wars. 

 

The modern conservative believes in magic, and thinks that you can actually increase defense expenditures, fight two wars, and reduce taxes... without the creation of a financial crisis.

 

The modern conservative believes that the American government is the enemy of the people... except for the armed forces which constitutes the only part of our government who is on the side of the people.  All of which makes you wonder why any modern conservative wants to be part of the government.

 

The modern conservative thinks that if you can't afford to see a doctor, you probsably deserve to go untreated because you are clearly lazy.  The modern conservative thinks that if you don't have the money to pay a physician, you could give him (or her) a chicken.

New Giveaway!

I'm doing a new giveaway over at The Great Gunfighter Giveaway!  This one is a book about... oh, just follow the link and find out.

The Great Gunfighter Giveaway: Round Three

Not only is Christmas music a very popular thing at Castle Gunfighter (as I type this, soccergirl is belting out "Mary Did You Know?" ), it is also a popular theme in the blogosphere and that is certainly an advantage for those who wish to participate in this round of the Great Gunfighter Giveaway.  Not only is this round all about music (again), it happens that since Christmas actually has 12 days (it's not just some song you know, Christmas lasts until Epiphany), there is more Christmas music on the wing!

You see, Mrs. Gunfighter so enjoyed the first two volumes of "A Very Gunfighter Christmas", she decided, last night, that there needed to be a version of her own, since some of HER favorites didn't make my list.  So... There it is, five random commenters will be selected to receive the single-volume collection of "A Mrs Gunfighter Christmas".  This is a collection of HER favorites that I missed in my previous collection.

Here is the thing, kids, this is going to be a short round, as I hope to get all of these items in the mail by Tuesday, so you all had better be nimble with those comments (not here!, over THERE!)... and speaking of comments, they needn't be themed, just let me know that you are interested and that's enough... unless, of course you'd like to say something pithy or witty, in which case I am all ears.

Right then, carry on!
