The Republican website has a nice review of Obama’s statements concerning firearm ownership. At the same time ABC is reporting the Obama camp distancing itself from Obama’s own statements as “inartful” which isn’t even a word but gets the point across that they’ve been unexpectedly caught with their drawers down.
“That statement was obviously […]

I love reading Ted Nugent’s writing and his take on the DC Gun Ban ruling is a satisfying read as I would expect.
On the polar opposite side of the political spectrum on everything else, my favorite Progressive Sam Smith weighs in with positive comments on the Courting getting something right. Sam even includes a […]

Despite my recent bout of pessimism regarding the case the SCOTUS blog has the ruling reflecting well on the rights of We the People. Though superficially it would appear they’ve worked very carefully to maintain the status-quo and not shake the current legal standing of any anti-gun law short of an outright ban such as […]

So now the Supremes have ruled that death penalty for child rapists is cruel and unusual. I wonder what they think it was from the child’s perspective?
This is going to be like the recent Taser ruling and I expect the consequences to be pretty immediate. If a parent has no expectation of real justice they’re […]

An interesting side note on the high costs of oil is that some manufacturing jobs are coming back to the US.
“It’s not just about labor costs anymore,” says Rubin. “Distance costs money, and when you have to shift iron ore from Brazil to China and then ship it back to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh is looking pretty […]

Want a perfect example of why I am somewhat pessimistic about the future of our nation? Here’s a great one…

I’m a bit leery of the court ruling on the D.C. gun ban for it will be a distinct indicator of the direction of the country. And I am less than optimistic because there are people who buy this load of bravo sierra:
A ruling that the District’s gun ban is unconstitutional “would grant courts unprecedented […]

So now we know exactly why DC has the highest crime rate in America, it’s populated with sheeple!
I particularly loved the elder woman with the eastern block accent who stated the country she came from didn’t allow people to own guns and they shouldn’t be allowed to here, either. And that worked out so well […]

Oh my! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! This is the last chance! We must ACT NOW!
Yeah, now that NASA’s own data shows the warming trend ended and we’ve been in a cooling trend that has already dropped average temperatures below where we started these idiots are pumping up the demagoguery before […]

Now that forced “racial desegregation” has been “accomplished” in the school systems (never mind that it has been a dismal failure) what about Political segregation in suburbia? The big misnomer here is that it is unnatural for people to want to associate with like minded people. For an anti-theology that espouses “nature” and embraces base […]

Because the first step in decentralizing domain name registration went so well they’re talking about taking it even further. Two problems, one is it is a step toward internationalizing an American invention. Second, the inmates are definitely running the domain registry asylum as can easily be seen in the news over the past few […]

Handguns, Rifles, Swords, kitchen knives and now hats

I’ve been referring people to Open Source Web Design for many years. Now there is another option along the same lines, Open Web Design. The more, the merrier!

I’m one of those people with a high cost of changing tasks. For the most part I have believed this is due to the intricately technical nature of both work and hobby which demand undivided attention for the sake of not only technical accuracy, but also safety.
Over the years I’ve considered this a […]

So goes the value of the almighty Dollar.
There is a reason for import tariffs, its about time someone in Washington figured that into their monetary policy..
Unless driving the dollar into the tank is their monetary policy….

The push for ethanol is coming partly from the ag community and partly from those who think of it as “carbon light” compare the the “evil” oil based products. And the high prices, driving mostly by speculation and an artificially pinched supply, is being used as a vehicle to push the ethanol alternative as a […]

Oklahoma to the Feds, have you read the 10th Amendment to the Constitution? Its a straight forward statement that, by the very need to iterate it, illustrates the over reaching of the Federal Government since… well, since President Lincoln. But which has been spreading even further into the tall weeds over the past 20-30 […]

Does anyone even remember why America was founded? Do Americans know what our progenators fled in the “old country” to create what became the United States? Considering who controls Education in this country its not likely even taught today.
But to the point, America was founded as a thumb in the eye of the […]

John Coleman fits squarely into my “heros” list after his comments before the San Diego Chamber of Commerce.

A nice and brief commentary on the Senate Democrats ‘Windfall Profits’ Tax heralding us back to the 1970’s in all the wrong ways. Reader contributions are also worth a read..

We’ve all heard how Obama is going to bring on “Change”, that mystical thing that has no definition yet will be the salvation of America. Yet if you look at who is working for Obama it seems like an Unemployed Democrat scorecard. So how can the same old party faithful bring change? Unless […]

Since the Democrats took control of the House the legislative focus has been to “get Bush” and a year and a half later that remains true. It is really too bad the Pelosi and Co have no issues more important. I mean the economy is in good shape, energy prices are falling, housing is […]

Not sure how I’ve missed this essay on the religion of global warming. A good read unless you’re a global warming fanatic, then you’ll hate it.
There is no faster way to make an enemy than to point out the truth of someone’s faults.

If he walks like a hardliner, talks like a hardliner, he probably is a Communist hardliner. In pointing a finger at “U.S. egotism” I think Dmitry completely missed the fact of his own egotism in believing that Russia was the economic salvation of the world.

Here in Indiana our license to carry a firearm is just that simple. The word “conceal” is no where used. It is the same in a lot of states and there is a movement afoot to have the public recognize more than LEO’s are carrying weapons about their daily business. I understand the purpose of […]
