That first picture is a jet being refueled using a single-point nozzle. This is how all commercial jets and all jets equipped with this system are fueled. Many airports as the one shown is this photo have fuel supply pipes that run underground allowing the aircraft to be fueled without having to use tanker trucks. The cart in this photo contains a pump and hose to deliver Jet A to aircraft. Jet A is basically refined kerosene.
There is a tremendous difference between amending the destroying. The reality is that the constitution is considered a road block and not a foundation by many of those living among us and many of those leading our nation.
In regards to the 2nd Amendment I find it quite aggravating that so many people have selective memory. Let's take a trip back in time, shall we?
Shortly after failing with the Articles of Confederation largely in part because the Government was given almost no power (Hence Closer to Anarchy) some fed up colonist stood up against a tyrannical government who was trying to impose taxes from across the pond. What triggered the uprising? Was is the taxation alone? No, it was the attempt to disarm the public.
After fighting for and winning our Independence through the use of weapons and spent blood our constitution was drafted. The 2nd amendment was put in place for the people to always have the power to take over tyrannical governments to preserve Freedom. To claim it's only to protect yourself is ignorant. The weapons of the people should be comparable to that of the military or the people have no power. Tyrannical leaders look at protections like the constitution as a road block. Fortunately is takes super majorities in both the house and the senate to amend our great constitution but that doesn't stop evil men from manipulating new ways to destroy our constitution. Patriot Act? Executive Orders? Health Care Takeover?
You are right about one thing. We all should make a very educated decision when voting for our leaders. To vote for upholding Freedom and Liberty or for social justice which can't coexist with Freedom and Liberty.
There is a very clear difference between a deer rifle and an assault rifle. Most deer rifles do not have a selective fire option of single round, three round bursts, or full automatic. So please don't try to educate people on a subject you clearly don't understand. I'm not trying to be mean. I'm not trying to embarrass you, but please be more informed before you make such statements. Others are so impressionable and are likely to believe what you say. By the way, the government is not going to take away all of your guns. They may not allow you to purchase weapons that clearly are not necessary to defend yourself in the case of a home burglary. A handgun or even a shotgun should be efficient enough to thwart such an event. Do I really need to remind most of you that at the time the 2nd amendment was conceived that the right to keep and bear arms was mostly a reaction to English occupation. I hope not. And mama kaz we don't need the government to make all of our decisions for us, but we do need them to make a majority. Remember that it was the "government" who wrote the Constitution and gave women the right to vote. It is hypocritical to say we don't need a government making these types of decisions when it is the same government who originally set forth the framework for which you say you are defending. Our Constitution is not being torn apart. If anything, it is being amended. As well it should be. Times change, and so does the need to protect the American people, whether they realize it or not, sometimes from themselves.
I know that most people who know me and see this are probably wondering if I've lost my mind. The answer is no. Let me elaborate why I've chosen this particular side. In no way whatsoever am I insinuating that I believe this administration is incapable of defending our country from a terrorist attack. In fact I believe quite the opposite. I do believe they are more than capable. What I also believe is that a terrorist who wants to kill Americans does not care who is president. They only care to show that they can kill us at any time, any where, and any way. What better way to prove all of this than to strike during a different presidency years after the first attack. This is the point and time to show their ability, their hatred of the American people, and their convictions. The question is, will we be ready? I certainly hope so.
On April 14, Limbaugh suggested the "correct" way to look at a situation in which Obama sent the military to retrieve American hostages from Somali pirates was that "if only President Obama had known that the three Somali community organizers were actually young, black Muslim teenagers, I'm sure he wouldn't have given the order to shoot.
On June 22, Limbaugh said, "What they don't know is that Obama's entire economic program is reparations. If I were [Al] Sharpton, if I'd been guest-hosting Sharpton's show, and I got a call like that, somebody complaining, I'd say, 'No, hey, hey, hey. Shh, shh. Let me tell you the truth here. Everything in the stimulus plan, every plan he's got is reparations. He gonna take from the rich, he's gonna take from the -- he's gonna give it to you. It just can't happen overnight. Be patient.' That's what's -- redistribution of wealth, reparations, returning the nation's wealth to its rightful owners, whatever you want to call it, it's reparations."
For anyone who believes that Rush Limbaugh's comments are routinely taken out of context please read the above comments. These are NOT taken out of context. These are his words, as they were spoken on his own radio show. And they ARE racist. So let's not feign ignorance to his obvious beliefs.
As far as the NFL denying him the right to own part of one of their teams, that decision was WRONG. The NFL should never have been allowed to refuse him that right.
I don't mind that people defend Mr. Limbaugh, as long as they do so for the right reasons. However, do not defend him and claim he has not made racist comments when clearly he has. Mr. Limbaugh, like most of his followers forget that his mouth is often his own WORST enemy.
While I believe in the foundation of the Constitution itself I find that as times change so must the American people. The Constitution is one of our most sacred and brilliant American documents ever created for exactly the reason that it can and should be changed when necessary. Example: 19th Amendment. Amendments like the Second Amendment are open to interpretation simply because change is inevitable. There have been significant advances in weaponry since 1791. I believe that every American deserves to keep and bear arms for their own protection. However, I do not believe defending your home and yourself requires an automatic rifle. To believe that a document like the Constitution should not be changed is simply naive. We must depend on those selected few Americans that ultimately can determine the course of a nation by changing the Constitution. That means being well informed BEFORE you head to the voting polls. Remember that as an American citizen YOU have the right to vote. You ultimately help select the men and women who make these decisions. So, make an informed one.
