The loss of human life is always tragic. But there is also a saying that if nothing else a person’s life stands as a warning to others. Recently in Arizona an 80 year old man found himself erecting such a signpost that will reach the criminal mind more effectively than a dozen extra beat cops. [...]
When President Bush was campaigning for office he clearly stated that he would sign the renewal of the Semi-Auto ban if it got to his desk. A lot of us took that as “like you’ll ever get that to my desk anyway”. Once elected (like it was an option for Gun Owners to vote for [...]
Interesting that the AP would even write a small bit about the FBI blocking further investigation into the OKC bombing but they did down play Islamic ties to McVeigh and Nichols. Rohrabacher said he also was denied access to others with suspected ties to the Oklahoma City bombing, including al Qaida-linked terrorists Ramzi Yousef and [...]
Over the last decade and a half I’ve observed a Darwinian microcosom at Casa Pointman. It seems possums like cat food as much as the cats so one of the chores I relish is running off the little buggers and dispatching the retarded ones with prejudice when they won’t take a hint and go mooch [...]

My last few GM vehicles are sure examples of why Toyota may outsell GM in 2007. Yet in the article GM is whining that GM suffers from a bad rap of being gas guzzlers rather than address that they do really stupid things like make intake manifolds out of plastic that must be replaced every [...]
So while Sandy “burgler” Berger has plead guilty to stealing and destroying classified documents from the National Archives in an attempt to cover up Bill Clinton’s and his own bumbling terror policy the “punishment” is outrageous. A ten-thousand dollar fine ($10,0000) and loosing his security clearance for 3 years? This man is no longer a [...]
We’ve all heard the argument that we should accept illegal aliens because they are doing the jobs Americans don’t want to do. So.. if that is the case why are Americans lining up to try for the jobs opened by the ICE sweeps at Swift?
