20. peter jackson: Is correct.

With all due respect, sir, the phrase “lock, stock, and barrel” is a reference to guns. Lock being the trigger mechanism including the hammer/frizzen/flint; stock referring to the wooden parts of the gun (forearm, and butt); and barrel being the barrel.

The phrase can be used as you say as well.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_stock_and_barrel

“History

The term was first recorded in the letters of Sir Walter Scott in 1817, in the line “Like the High-landman’s gun, she wants stock, lock, and barrel, to put her into repair”.[citation needed] It is, however, thought that this term evolved into a popular saying some years before in England.”

As a muzzleloading hillbilly, I know!

No disrespect meant.

It isn’t enough to keep a hawk’s eye on the schools, mosques and media outlets.

A temporary preparatory regime has to be in place so that there are enough Arabs to properly
govern themselves, and frankly if the Israeli gov’t were to do this, it would receive credibility from those who deserve to command respect.

I think we are indeed living in the time of the suicide of Western Civilization. And our enemies are circling for the kill.

Netanyahu has a chance to form a right bloc government with 66 seats without need of Kadimah or Labor. But that includes the two ultra-Orthodox parties and Shas at least will come in and try to extort a lot of money. Sharon in 2004 told them to get lost and sent them to opposition. Livni in the fall told them to get lost and that triggered the election. Netanyahu may tell them to get lost too unless they lower their demands.

In the 80s Shamir and Peres ended in a virtual dead heat like this time and they agreed to rotate the post of PM, each got two years. This may the eventual outcome too. Kadimah is basically Likud B. They always had a moderate wing and except for former justice minister Meridor they are all over there. The two parties can work together smoothly.

The big development is the collapse of the left, Labor down to 13 seats and Merez, the big appeasers, down to 3, which is basically some kibbutz members and their cows. In the past the left caused all the trouble in the country bringing in Arafat and his mafia and arming them which got us the wave of terror in 2000-2002. The corruption of Arafat, they stole all the international aid, led to the rise of Hamas, who promised clean government.

The international factor in the background was the desire of the people to stand strong against what are perceived as the two greatest threats to the country, Ahmaninejad and Obama, not necessarily in that order.

Livni has not won.

The votes from the soilders and diplomats still need to be counted and most likely they will move the election into a virtual tie or give the win to Bibi

Soldiers’ Vote May Swing the Elections to a Tie

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) Voters gave Kadima 28 mandates in the next Knesset, one more than Likud, with almost all of Tuesday’s ballots counted but not including votes of diplomats and soldiers, whose votes will be counted on Wednesday and Thursday. Their ballots are equal to five mandate

Following is the current number of estimated MKs for each party following the counting of 99% of the available votes:

Kadima 28
Likud 27
Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our Home) 14
Labor 13
Shas 11
United Torah Judaism (UTJ) 5
Ichud Leumi (National Union) 4
Jewish Home 3
Meretz 3
Arab parties 12

The votes of the armed forces usually tilt to the nationalist and religious parties, and are likely to create at least a tie and may even put Likud in the lead. The votes of diplomats overseas and soldiers changed the results in the last election by taking one Knesset seat away from Kadima. The number of Arab MKs also will likely be reduced after the soldiers’ ballots are counted.

I think this was a sexist article.

Oh, yeah, that’s not the only point where he can be a-holish. The problem is, he is the only one who can stand up to Obama, when Obama (and Samanta Powers) will come and say: “Dialogue with palestinians or else!” or “Make peace with palestinians at any price or else!” or “DO WHAT I SAY OR ELSE!”. And we, INFORMED PEOPLE, know very well how Obama and his environement hate Israel: “Nobody had suffered as much as the Palestinian people” (Obama); “Israel – oh, I said THAT DIRTY WORD AGAIN” (Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s 20 years long pastor); Rashid Halidi; let’s kiss Ahmadinejad’s butt etc.
Bibi is the only one who can flip him off. That’s why Obama said: my politics in the middle east will be nothing like that of BENJAMIN NETANIAHU. WTH? He wasn’t even a president yet. Bibi wasn’t a PM yet. But Obama already says Bibi is his “kinda” enemy? wtf again? Because Bibi can go and flip the bird and say: “That’s good for MY country, I don’t care how your international image will suffer”.

Will he do it? The f… knows. Nobody knows. He’s not the messiah. But he’s the only one with the GUTS TO DO IT, that’s for sure. He has the potential. Will he use it? OMG, let’s pray he will.

I was a stupid little girl when he was the PM for the first time. Everything I could remember, he was handsome and the anti-Semites in the country I lived in that time hated him like hell. Ok, the anti-Semitic scum will hate any Israli leader anyway. And, as old as he is, he can still win the beauty contest agains Tzipi… But anyway, you’re right: we cannot trust him totally. Neither we can trust any other polititian in Israel nowadays. Ok, BUT:
HE DOESN’T PROMISE TO GIVE UP GOLAN FOR NOTHING AND DIVIDE JERUSALEM FOR NOTHING AND AND AND AND AND (all the stuff Tzipi and Obama want). Can I trust him here? I don’t know. Can I trust Livni will do what she promises, especially when Obama wants the same? You betcha! SO: BIBI? TZIPI? AVI? or SOCI?

I hope it’s obvious.

Praise Allah!
