I think someone has been watching too much StarGate SG1….

In the realm of reports stating the obvious comes the news that ‘Islamophobia’ Used to Crush Muslim Dissent. Sort of how the homosexual lobby uses the term ‘homofobe’ as a club.

Have you noticed less on the evening news with regard to the war in Iraq? Sort of like the war in Afganistan… if it’s going well let the American people forget. Until recently that wasn’t the case in Iraq so the news kept it in front of us and the Dems used it as political […]

The economy of the US is quite strong though a few segments are doing their best to pull it down. The high cost of oil, partly due to the devaluation of our currency, faltering refinancing rates due to slack policing of lending practices and a slumping housing market are the main drains. But a 3rd […]

The Democrat front runners just can’t get away from trying to buy American votes. Hillary Clinton was offering $5000 to each newborn (can they vote now?) and good old “I’m in last place by Gore” Edwards is now offering free college. Strangely he reveals his Marxist idealogies and contradicts himself in the same quote:
“I think […]

We all know that the surging hurricane activity is because of global warming, right? That because of “Man” hurricanes such as Katrina will become more frequent and stronger. That’s why we’ve had such horrific damage caused to the United States this year from these catastrophic hurricanes… er… oh.. guess not!
Does that prove anything other […]

I think it is a smart way to protest that a licensed individual can carry a firearm into Walmart or down main street but are not allowed to do so while on college campus grounds. In light of Virginia Tech we know that a campus is literally defenseless yet we block those who would voluntarily […]

Thanks to the democrats Turkey is pissed off at not only the Kurd rebels killing Turk troops but the United States for condemning them for the acts of the Ottomans. So rather than work within the diplomatic framework that the Armenian Genocide resolution destroyed there are 80,000 Turkish troops on the Iraqi border and they’re […]

When masks are outlawed only outlaws will have masks.

Those horrific fires in California? Yeah, arson. Probably some asshat green who believe humans should stay in “their area”.

Something we’ve known for years is that all the paper in the world doesn’t mean a person can actually perform the job and a recent study seems to bear out that IT skills triumph certifications in the real world. What certifications do, like degrees, is get you noticed and increase your likelihood of getting an […]

Don’t let the article fool you, Massachusetts has had lots of turkeys, they just send them all to Washington! Seriously though I’ve been a woodsman for 30 years and have not in any of that time seen the plethora of wild game that I see today. I have to wade through Turkey and deer […]

If you bought a house on an ARM, especially with introductory rates, expecting to be making more before the full payments came due the all benevolent Countrywide Mortgage is going to let you refinance. Overall its probably a good move for everyone especially now that lenders are realizing they’re not going to be able to […]

Leave it to the Japanese to come up with a cardboard toilet for traffic jams. I think they realized how that sounded so threw in the bit about its uses during natural disasters… the disaster being a shortage of shovels for digging your own, apparently…..

I can’t fault Chuck Noris’s choice for president. On a policy front I quite like Huckabee a lot, probably more than any of the front runners, but have doubts of his electability which is where I think Fred Thompson will do well. Unfortunately, as much as I like Thompson I’m afraid he really may be […]

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger-Kennedy is urging Republicans to assume the political idealogical vacuum left by the Democrats of 40 years ago since the current Democrat party has assumed the idealogical vacuum left by the fall of the USSR.

The crook probably learned more at the hands of his victims than he ever would have serving time in prison. I think the cop called it right, too. The crook was luck all they did to him was make him clean up the mess when the homeowner would likely be legally justified in shooting […]

Judge attacks nine errors in Al Gore’s ‘alarmist’ Inconvenient Truth. Sadly the irony is lost on the Greens.

If you’ve considered OnStar for your next GM purchase you might want to consider that Cops can turn off your car via the OnStar system. Now this may seem practical especially since some people will be willing to pay for the privilege of living in an increasingly police state. At the same time you have […]

It seems that OSHA rules trump State law and the Constitution when it comes to politically incorrect issues such as gun control. I’m a huge private property proponent and a huge supporter of business. But there are times when the rights of an individual trump and this is one that can be concisely and […]

“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers […]

Bjorg Lomborg’s op-ed in today’s Washington Post, Chill out is a good read as Bjorg usually is:
something that’s rarely mentioned is that temperatures in Greenland were higher in 1941 than they are today. Or that melt rates around Ilulissat were faster in the early part of the past century, according to a new study. And […]

It does the heart good to occasionally read positive news on Iraq in a mainstream rag and for the most part the Telegraph story Iraq insurgency: People rise against al-Qa’eda speaks to the success of the “surge” and that the Iraqi citizenry is waking up to the fact this this is their fight, too.

The gun-control crowd actively pushes for only miliary and police to have access to firearms and especially handguns. The problem is that military and police are all recruited from the general population so while it is less likely for a soldier or COP to go wacko and go on a shooting spree it certainly […]
