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 [...]

The article appears on Page 1D of the paper. The first show, tonight at 7PM on HDNet World Report, Channel 664 on Comcast, is entitled “Resurgence of the American Militia.” This piece, [...]

British Boy Scouts ban pocket knives. What can you say?
September 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment
I don’t know what to say about the latest British example of hoplophobia (fear of weapons). I have struggled with this issue for several weeks trying to think of some compassionate comment about the unreasoning nanny state mentality that has apparently gripped our Anglo Saxon allies by the throat and various other parts of their anatomies.

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 [...]

Actor’s anger directed at criminal, not inanimate object
July 30, 2009 | 1 Comment
The crime was the stuff of nightmares. Actor Kelsy Grammer’s sister was brutally stabbed to death in Colorado Springs in 1975. Karen Elisa Grammer was 18 years old when she was murdered by three men. One of the killers, Freddie Glenn, who was also convicted of two other homicides, came up for parole this week. [...]

“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, [...]

The Denver Post article, ”Book goes inside the minds of gun criminals,” by Monte Whaley, in the 06-26-09 issue of the paper, deals with 73 criminals who used firearms in the commission of one or more crimes. The upcoming book, Guns, Violence, and Criminal Behavior: The Offender’s Perspective, apparently offers interesting insights into criminal gun use among [...]

Ninth Circuit ruled on Nordyke-Mainstream Media AWOL
April 25, 2009 | 1 Comment
As you have probably read, on April 20th, the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, sometimes affectionately known as “the Ninth Circus,” because of its frequent liberal opinions, ruled that the Second Amendment is incorporated against state and local governments. Many smart people have weighed in on the meaning of this decision and whether it is likely [...]

Columbine brings out factually-challenged reporting and one-sided op-eds
April 20, 2009 | 3 Comments
It’s the tenth anniversary of the Columbine Massacre, so we should expect the Mainstream Media to do what they always do in terms of ramping up bias against guns and the people who own them. In my opinion, the Friday Edition of The Denver Post outdid itself, with one “news” story and two opinion pieces bashing [...]
