The US media has been circumspect concerning the events in Honduras this past week. Here we have a democratically elected leader who overstepped his constitutional bounds and was slapped down by the Honduran Supreme Court. Naturally the Dictators Club (United Nations) has also decried the ousting of Zelaya irregardless that it was lawfully done. […]

The Democrats killed their own D.C. House Voting Rights Bill due to an amendment that would effectively return DC’s 2nd Amendment rights. Choice quote….
“We will never give up on equal rights for our residents,” she said, insisting that pro-gun Democrats could have opposed the amendment without sustaining political damage
So… she wants “equal rights for our […]

The disappearance of Flight 447 reminds us of TWA Flight 800 Case the public explanation of which never resembled eyewitnesses. The first attempt on the towers and TWA 800 are among the many incidents illustrating the long run up, under Bill Clinton’s watch, to the September 11th attacks…

I’m not exactly the Rap type, but check this from the The Young Cons…

…Jesus, Ronald Reagan plus Atlas Shrugged

There is so much to comment on in the Business Week article The Great Ethanol Scam. But all I can say is it’s about freaking time!
Now while lauding recongnition of the ethanol scam I find Butanol rather interesting and wonder why we’ve heard so little about it? But, I’m leary of any “biomass” alcohol […]

An amendment was attached to the recently passed credit card bill which makes all park service land uniformly follow state laws with regard to carrying a firearm. This is something several rights groups have been working on for years as the National Park Service had differing rules for their various controlled properties making it tricky […]

I wonder if Bill President Clinton being sent to Haiti could be considered attempted murder?
Bill + island of tropically clad Caribbean women + one of the highest HIV rates in the world = they’re trying to off him!

Bill Kristol names the Most Valuable Republican…

I certainly hope they have more than what they’re showing.. when the news said the pictures were “graphic” I assumed they meant in a violent sense rather than in a OMG he’s naked! sense. Anyway, as I said I would hope there is more than that since the image that was chosen doesn’t reflect […]

Can you imagine the uproar if the a conservative editor placed the word “Democrat” in the dictionary under the reference for the word “Traitor”? I wonder who’s going to care what they’ve done with the definition of ‘Narrow-minded’ which now means “conservative”, “self-righteous” and “bigoted”.

I think the King of Jordan is willfully rewriting history (SHOCK!) in demanding Israel must accept Palestinian state. Israel has already accepted the Palestinian state in question and the King of Jordan is the King of it! A little history….
In 1920 the League of Nations put Palestine under British control who proceed […]

Tax smoking because its unhealthy. Smokers gain weight and they’ll tax fat people next. But.. what if it was banning smoking that started it?
Could it be that dreaded law of unintended consequences which tends to thwart congress regularly?
It would make for some interesting stats - how many quit smoking over a set time […]

Five where convicted by a Federal jury of trying join forces with al-Qaida to topple Chicago’s Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices in hopes of igniting an anti-government insurrection.
So why isn’t this news?
Oh! Can’t have the public realize there really are bad guys in the world who are out to kill us. […]

I’ve always liked Dick Cheney and while I also like W I have alway believed Cheney was a better VP than W a President and wished W would have taken more queues from the considerably more conservative westerner. Rightly, Cheney has made several salient points against the new Administration while his old boss hides […]

The United States built a free nation on the acknowledgment of rights granted by our Creator yet 233 years later our Military destroys soldier’s Bibles because, in the words of the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, the military’s position is that it will never “push any specific religion.”
Ignoring the […]

Following his 100 day prime time speech its good to do a little fact check of the President’s claims.

While the various world organizations and governments make sure this “crisis doesn’t go to waste” there are scientists who see this flu strain as relatively mild.
the current outbreak of the H1N1 virus, which emerged in San Diego and southern Mexico late last month, may not even do as much damage as the run-of-the-mill flu outbreaks […]

If you’ve time, and a strong stomach, you might find President Obama’s 100 DAYS, 100 MISTAKES an enlightening read. Of course its published in the New York Post and since it takes work to refute them the opposition instead takes the position that the NYPost is less credible than the National Enquirer. When you […]

First it was inflate your tires. Now its ‘Wash Your Hands’. And they accused Bush Jr. of offer “over simplified” solutions “complex issues”?

I told myself after the Grand Prix I’d never buy another GM product but it looks like I no longer have a choice.

I am frequently depressed by the number of people who don’t understand our form of government and the history of the various forms of government throughout history. Especially worrisome is the belief that the United States was founded a democracy and that Socialism/Communism are the far left and Fascism, the far right. A libertarian […]

Another article on Antarctic ice growing, not melting. This one includes a comment that the large scale calving everyone was pointing to as a result of global warming may not be unusual.

I’m serious quaking in my molle gear waiting for the next Congressionally chartered Letter of Marque and Reprisal pleasure cruise to the waters of Somalia…

Meet the new domestic spy boss, same as the old domestic spy boss…
