“I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for,” former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean - DNC Forum - Jan 29th, 2005

“A state is nothing more than a reflection of its citizens; the more decent the citizens, the more decent the state. If you practice a religion, whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or guided by some other faith, then your private life will be influenced by a sense of moral obligation, and so, too, will your […]

“Man has made 32 million laws since the Commandments were handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai…but he has never improved on God’s law. … They are the charter and guide of human liberty, for there can be no liberty without the law.” –Cecil B. DeMille

It looks like I’m not the only Hoosier miffed by Sen. Bayh’s opposition to the confirmation. Boxer, Kerry and Kennedy should be ashamed of their actions but that would take a conscience, a soul and a brain.

Ann Coulter rightly takes President Bush to task on abortion. No holds barred Coulter is on the mark as usual.

The left has criticized President Bush’s inaug speech and now we see the real reason, it put pressure on their friendly neighborhood dictators. Imagine how outraged the Left will become when the same happens in Cuba? That is if the President doesn’t decide to militarily annex it ast the 51st State before Castro keels […]

Wes Vernon has an excellent piece on The Record of ‘Moderate’ Republicans and their recent efforts to take over the GOP. Those like the Gubenator, Whitman, Lugar, McCain want to see the GOP move to the left toward that mythical ‘center’ the media is always refering to. Any of these fools who believe the GOP […]

I’d like to think the reports about PM Abbas are wrong and that he is simply following the early century tradition of talking big against Israel and doing little. Now the PA is issuing a weapons ban and while that may be a place to start it in no way solves the problem.

I got excited when I read the recent headline
GOP Formally Asks Giuliani to Beat Hillary until I realized they meant - in an election.
And here I thought Pay-per-View might finally be offering something I’d want to watch!

Amazing - I seldom agree with the politically correct drivel coming out of the mouths of the ADL but I agree with their assessment of Turner.

Wow 44 comment spams ovenight. That’s about 43 more than I’ve received during the last 2 months. Needless to say a few tweaks to the anti-spam methods were in order… we’ll see how long it takes them to figure it out this time.
Col. Cooper once postulated, paraphrasing, that criminal behavior is caused by a […]

More bad mojo for President Bush and Sen. Dick Lugar who are supportingthe Sovereignty-sapping U.N. ‘Law of the Sea’ Treaty, aka LOST.
Yet another example of how wrong those who call President Bush’s agenda ‘radical right wing’ really are. And how ‘compassionate conservativism’ isn’t about either.

Interesting that these thigs always happen in the Blue states, and they call the Red states fascist???
Four employees of a health care company have been fired for refusing to take a test to determine whether they smoke cigarettes.
I guess when Blue companies feel it’s ok to fire Red employees then axing all the […]

It is quite curious that the main stream media isn’t covering the Central banks shifting reserves away from US. More interesting is that they start this shift after the dollar bottoms meaning it may be a strategic repositioning rather than a tactical defensive moved due to the falling exchange value of dollar.
The problem with becoming […]

For some reason I find this commercial quite hilarious although it seems to be ruffling a few feathers among the more sensitive types.

Neal Knox, former vice president of the National Rifle Association and long-time leader of the gun rights movement, died at his home on January 17, 2005 following a year-long battle with colon cancer. He was sixty-nine. He is survived by his wife, Jay Janen Knox (Shirley) and his four children; Christopher, Shan, Jeffrey, […]

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. — Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

Though I have some doubts as to the ‘temporary’ nature of Governor Daniel’s proposed tax hike I have to applaud his throwing Mayor Peterson’s stadium proposal back in Peterson’s lap. I do want to see the Colts stay in Indianapolis even though I seldom follow their seasons. But Peterson’s proposal puts too much emphasis […]

I’ve noted for years how what had always been a satanic salute worked into meaning something else. A minor victory for the old worm to be sure. But nothing like his victory in getting so many to believe he doesn’t exist.

Every now and then the good guys do win. Granted it’s become more infrequent over the past years…
Officer Morse was fired by a California department for slamming a teen against the hood of his patrol car after the teen tried to grab Officer Morse someplace notoriously uncomfortable.
Frankly I think Officer Morse showed great restraint. […]

Peggy Noonan has some interesting comments on the President’s speech.

Seems there is yet another ATM scam going on. The criminal element is becoming quite clever.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ … I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be […]

Isn’t it interesting that few read this news in their local or national papers.
WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. government ran a $1 billion budget surplus in December, helped by a rise in corporate tax payments, the Congressional Budget Office said in its latest budget report released on Friday.
( Emphasis mine )
So those […]

Would anyone with a brain and knowledge of firearms be surprised to find out that ballistic fingerprinting doesn’t work? Nor would I.
