Yes, granting China Most Favored Nation trade status was a great idea!. Not…. It appears Red China has been taking business lessons from Microsoft.

“Voter turnout in the Democratic presidential contests that quickly sealed the nomination for Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry was one of the lowest on record, according to a study…. The findings were in sharp contrast to the media-driven image of an angry and energized Democratic electorate turning out in droves in the party’s delegate-selection contests through […]

“The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semiautomatic assault weapons - anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun - can only increase that chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.” - Josh Sugarmann, Violence Policy Center […]

There is a new type of political fallout occurring in the Middle East. Iraq may prove to be a fairly big domino.

Meet Reason.

While the Australians gather their swords up to turn them in Ohio citizens are gearing up.

Gotta love the way John Lott can turn a phrase.
Now the Victorian Government is achieving international recognition for protecting Australians from a danger that has been around for far too long: swords. After July 1, swords will be banned and violators will face penalties that previously have been reserved for laser pointers - six months […]

When liberals praise Sen. Lugar - “it is still possible to find someone in positions of power who will fight for principle rather than bow to political expediency” it surely reminds conservative Hoosiers how out of touch our senator has become in his march toward UN dominated globalism.
If the actions by Sen Lugar […]

I sometimes wonder at the attention focused on Martha Stewart, not only by the Government hounds but the public. It is especially puzzling considering the public’s complete lack of attention when it comes to far worse committed directly against them by those in Government.

They do what the must to keep their corruption out of the light. A vision of things to come, the literary term is “foreshadowing”….

Almost 9 years and one execution later the case against Nichols is possibly in trouble. There is much that the Fed knew before the bombing occurred.
It is undisputed that only weeks before the bombing, the ATF’s raid at Elohim City was stopped by then-Special Agent in Charge of the Oklahoma City FBI office, Bob […]

NBC newswoman Andrea Mitchell maintains that Hillary wants the VP slot with John Kerry. I have no doubt that Hillary wants to be President but she has to play her cards carefully or risk loosing her chance forever. If she joins Kerry as his VP and wins she becomes a shoe-in for the […]

Israeli Major General Amos Gilad joins the British in maintaining that Saddam has WMDs on the eve of war.
Major General Amos Gilad, who was heavily involved in Israel’s preparations for the US attack on Iraq, provided no proof to back up his statements, but said weak American intelligence was the reason the arsenal […]

Corporations that make their living from proprietary software often oppose the open source development model because the methods and core logic of their software often contains the “secrets” that make the software unique in their market. But developing software in the traditional corporate model is very expensive and is why software costs continue to […]

The Brady Campaign now wants to prevent us from repairing the firearms that, due to their cosmetics, fall under the auspices of the 1994 “assault weapons ban”. To make their point they are actually suing the Justice Department for allowing manufacturers to replace worn out receivers with new ones. Bushmaster seems to be […]

It seems a document was released several months ago indicating Al-Qaida plotted attacks to split Spain from allies.
“We think the Spanish government will not stand more than two blows, or three at the most, before it will be forced to withdraw because of the public pressure on it,” the al-Qaida document says, according to CNN.
The […]

OPEC is once again screwing the US. Yet our treasonous autocrats in DC will not allow the United States to further develop our own sources such as ANWR. By the time people realize that energy needs have to be anticipated a decade ahead of time the eco-nazi’s will have gotten their way, gas […]

France, North Korea, German, China and now Spain. Anyone see a pattern here?

Hoosier Senator Dick Lugar has once again proven he supports global governance over the soverienty of the United States by ram roding the Law of the Sea treaty through without debate. There were good reasons Reagan squashed this treaty in 1982 and those reasons still remain. Chris Horner of Competitive Enterprise Institute has been […]

It is interesting what can be found on the governments own websites. This one is worth bookmarking. Rights of the People: Individual Freedom and the Bill of Rights - The Right to Bear Arms

Americans in gun sights of Mexican army.

As an FAL collector things concerning Rhodesia / Zimbabwe are of interest to me.

Don’t like Kerry? Then join in the fun over at http://www.nojohnkerry.org/ and http://www.crushkerry.com/.

Whether Basque or Islamic revenge it appears they have won.
The enemy now knows the west will bow to such pressure. I would anticipate a surge in such attacks especially just before elections.
I wonder where this falls into campaign finance reform?

Sea turtles are nice critters but to force 24 fishing boat crews into unemployment over 60 turtles a year is as totalitarian as it gets.
And while these jobs are being destroyed the US market will simply import swordfish from Asia. Japan, Korea and Taiwan all have large fleets and are not effected. […]
