A third party vote is a wasted vote.
November 5, 2009 | Leave a Comment
As if we needed another reminder that third party candidates are the real third rail of American politics, the results of the GOP debacle in NY’s 23rd Congressional District should serve as a stinging lesson in Street Smarts 101. You don’t split the vote by endorsing a third party candidate!

Conservative Jews-a conundrum for the Left
October 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Dennis Prager has posted an outstanding article on the Front Page Magazine Website concerning the fanatical devotion of the Left to the secular humanistic dogma of what can only be called their “religion” of state control of virtually everything. Although not mentioned in Prager’s post, we have seen this kind of quasi-religious zeal expressed again [...]

Obama’s Original School Speech-Zero Tolerance for Dissent-The Audacity of Expectations
September 11, 2009 | 2 Comments
The Left is nothing if not clever in the way they frame the ideological debate between Conservatism and their “Progressive” ideology. The “Zero Tolerance” policy regarding weapons on school grounds is a classic example. The Educational Establishment, made up of Left-wing administrators and teachers’ union members, forbids discussion of, artistic portrayal of, or display of [...]

Krystallnacht in Denver
August 27, 2009 | 2 Comments
Peter Boyles on 630 KHOW was on target yesterday in his radio commentary concerning Maurice Schwenkler. This individual allegedly committed criminal mischief in breaking out the windows of a Democrat Headquarters, which reportedly displayed pictures of Obama and promoted health care “reform.” I believe that Boyles was also correct in excoriating Denver Post columnist Mark Litwin for his [...]

Chicago handgun ban fails to stop shootings
August 5, 2009 | 1 Comment
On July 29th, CBS News, Chicago reported fifteen shootings in a city that has draconian gun and knife laws, including an “assault weapons” ban (actually a semi-automatic firearms ban) and a handgun ban. What can you say about those facts that wouldn’t be snarky? (See my post, “Poor Chicago-So corrupt-So like Mexico in its gun [...]

Warehouse 13-or why Johnny and Sally hate and fear guns
July 17, 2009 | 3 Comments
“When ‘Omer smote ‘is bloomin’ lyre, he’d ‘eard men sing by land an’ sea, an’ what ‘e thought ‘e might require, ‘e went an’ took, the same as me.” (Rudyard Kipling)
Sometimes, when someone asks me why otherwise intelligent people hate and fear guns, I find myself talking about psychological defense mechanisms, such as displacement, denial, [...]

On 07-15-09, during her Senate confirmation hearings, Judge Sonia Sotomayor danced around questions by Senator Tom Coburn regarding her opinion about an American Citizen’s right to defend himself or herself against violence. (See Jonathan Adler’s analysis here. Keep in mind that The Washington Post is a Liberal newspaper. Adler is outnumbered two to one by Liberal [...]

Contact Senators to oppose Koh nomination
June 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Please contact your US Senator and ask him or her to oppose the nomination of Harold Koh as legal advisor to the State Department. Mr. Koh has a history of promoting internationalism that does not bode well for the Second Amendment. David Kopel wrote here about Koh. See the Gun Owners of America alert here.
Mr. Koh has [...]

“Sophisticated Europe!” Not quite!
June 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
If you’ve spent much time talking to Liberals about gun control, you are probably tired of hearing about “sophisicated Europe,” the land of perfection. Socialized medicine, draconian gun control, intrusive law and order, mandated social responsibility and all the other things that we uncouth, barbarian, rednecked, knuckle-dragging, gun-loving, God-clinging Americans “should” aspire to, but don’t, [...]

The gun fight ain’t over by a long shot
May 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Just in case anyone is getting giddy over the restoration of concealed carry rights in national parks, here is a little reminder from California about the continuing anti-gun agenda of the left wing of the Democrat Party. Assembly Bill 962 limits the legal transfer of handgun ammunition between private parties in the People’s Republic to [...]
