Mexico Nabs 2 Iraqis Near U.S. Border

Thursday, June 30th, 2005

So why is it that our borders have not been secured? Probably because these little news items get in the way of the globalists. Strong U.S. borders also slows progress on the United States of North America; the convergence of Mexica, America and Canada scheduled to be completed by 2010.

Nearly 24 people shot in less than 12 hours

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Obviously Gun Control, depriving law abiding citizens of the right to defend themselves, is a big success in Chicago as 24 people are shot in a 12 hour period.
Now consider if every law abiding citizen of the Windy City had the ability, if they choose, to defend themselves with deadly force. We’ve already […]

Bye-Bye 5th Amendment

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

I really saw this going the other way. But that was because it would have been logical and Constitutional. The SCOTUS has now effectively stated that the U.S. Constitution means what they think it should mean.
The split of the Justices here is worthy of note. Liberal leaning Justices wrote the majority opinion, you […]

Senate Rejects Greenhouse Gas Limits

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

At least there was one note of optimism this week. How anyone cannot see through this whole global warming thing is beyond me but even Indiana’s own Senators Lugar and Bayh voted for this stupid thing. And Indiana would be disportionately effected by this hogwash because we are predominately coal fired. So […]

Minimum Wage

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

I firmly believe the minimum wage should go but how to explain that to others usually just leaves me frustrated. Thankfully The Angry Economist puts the entire argument into 4 easy to understand paragraphs.

The Beauty of the Second Amendment

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

“The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” –Thomas Jefferson

Gun Owners More Likely To Distrust The Federal Government

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

Um… DUH!!
“Far from being a characteristic of a small minority, distrust of the federal government is widespread, a finding that has been reported before,” said Jiobu, an associate professor at Ohio State. “We found that these people who don’t have faith in the government are more likely to own guns.”
That is like saying that 99% […]

A Nation of Law-Breakers

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

“There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren’t enough criminals, one MAKES them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. … Create a nation of law-breakers, […]

Hostettler: Dems demonize Christians

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

No censure for Democrat “Turbin” Dick Durbin but for Hostettler for stating the obvious? Worse is the Indianapolis Star online poll reflects 60% of 1900 think Hostettler “went too far”..
He didn’t go far enough.
Forget the 2 party system, what we have today is the “lets fix it” party vs the “we can’t […]

It’s not the spammers

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Its the idiot end users (and HTML email). Everyone hates spam. If a customer gets more than 3 spams a day they’re beating down my door over the ‘unacceptable’ quantity. But put into place good spam filters and subscribe to open relay black lists, etc, they then beat my door down because their […]

Four Quick Links to Four Long Articles

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Perusing Nealz Nuze I found 4 items that, while too late to comment tonight (because each deserves a lengthy post) I have to at least point them out as worthy reading.
First is Atrocious analogy
By Mark Steyn, then Stephen Moore on W’s tax cuts. Third is why the now rabidly anti American Red Cross will never […]

Lost Credit Data Improperly Kept

Monday, June 20th, 2005

If you need additional reasons to believe as I do that credit card companies really don’t care about fraud then maybe this will change your mind.

Cheney on Turbin Durbin

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Since you probably have no clue from the mainstream press that Dick Cheney had a few choice words about Dick “Turbin” Durbin’s latest outrageous witicisms I’ll give you a nudge in the right direction.

GSXR

Monday, June 20th, 2005

I’ve not paid a lot of attention to the motorcycle world for several years so imagine by delight in seeing an old favorite and choice of Terry Vance, 6 times fastest man on 2 wheels, the Suzuki GXS-R tops the most stolen and/or wrecked list. If it wasn’t already it points to […]

Bankrupt Ideology

Monday, June 20th, 2005

You know at this point I could care less what the “justifications” were for going into Iraq for many reasons. Chief among them is that even if the Left’s accusations against President Bush were dead on they’ve acted like such horrid brats since losing the Whitehouse that no one takes them seriously except other Leftist […]

Humanizing the Enemy

Monday, June 20th, 2005

To read how the mainstream media is trying to make Saddam seem more human probably so when his former victims hang his butt by the neck until dead they can justify weeping over his soon to be rotting carcass.

California Gun Owners

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Th e California DOJ has, intentionally by the looks of it, yet again screwed California gun owners by approving a small .22 pistol for sale in the state (every firearm model sold in California must be specifically approved by the CDOA) then after allowing the pistol to be sold for 2+ years are calling for […]

Senate Democrats Block Bolton Confirmation

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Tom Daschle’s policies were repudiated by his own electorate but a rule he put into place 3 and 1/2 years ago has hamstrung the Admistrations nominations once again. McCain’s knife in Frist’s back sure didn’t buy much good will with the Democrats. Good job McCain, way to give us a rudderless Senate. […]

British Memos Over Iraq Plans?

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

We’ve been hearing about the British memos but what the press isn’t telling you is that there appears to be some “irregularities” about their existence.

Schumacher Wins In Indy

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

Though it cannot have been a satisfying win after,Michelin hosed 14 drivers. I’m rather mixed on this one since Michelin could have just played along and chose to be frank. I can think of a few companies that would have done this differently and gotten someone killed.
At the same time people came from […]

No American ‘Gulag’

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

Wow. No American ‘Gulag’
Several days ago I received a telephone call from an old friend who is a longtime Amnesty International staffer. He asked me whether I, as a former Soviet “prisoner of conscience” adopted by Amnesty, would support the statement by Amnesty’s executive director, Irene Khan, that the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba […]

Doctors Rights

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

So much for Doctors rights, WorldNetDaily: Christian doctors defend right to refuse abortions. The State of California is suing the Federal Government so that the State can force Pro-Life / Christian doctors to perform abortions. I would love to think there is such a shortage of butchers that the State is forced to do this […]

Ion Mihai Pacepa on Bolton and the U.N.

Saturday, June 18th, 2005

Ion Mihai Pacepa has written a very interesting history lesson on John Bolton and the United Nations. It also adds to the tally of things Bolton has done to offend the Left. But on top of all that there is, at the very heart of the article something I did not know.
The […]

“Giant Laser”

Friday, June 17th, 2005

Though it’s quite a serious topic and a serious piece of news all I can visualize is Dr. Evil saying “giant laser”..

Open Solaris

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

Moving a large project from propietary closed source methodology to an open source one seems to carry a few unexpected risks. Better reconsider that comment before commiting it.
