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!

Those zany Brits! What’s next? No scissors?
September 1, 2009 | 3 Comments
You gotta love the British Government! They banned handguns. They are collecting sharp-pointed kitchen knives. They made a gardner take down a barbed wire fence, because he might have scratched the theives that were stealing his vegetables. A Britsh judge declared that burglars are a class of citizens who deserve protection from irate homeowners. A class of [...]

Sotomayor waffles on your right to self-defense
July 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment
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 [...]

Brady Campaign accuses guns of murder! No trials yet. Some killers apparently held without bail at police stations.
August 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment
While trolling for tidbits of information from the other side of the gun debate, I came across an interesting poster on the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Website. The poster claims that in 2004, “Guns murdered” 11,344 people in the United States. I suppose what they mean is that guns were used by American [...]

San Francisco proposes “Garbage Police.” Am I psychic or what?
August 1, 2008 | 4 Comments
On 07-21-08, I projected in a post entitled, “Obama’s “service” speech: Gestapo, Red Guards, or something else?” that Left-wing oriented youth service corps members could very well become Red Guard-type garbage inspectors enforcing strict recycling trash sorting laws. (Categories: Culture War, Elections-on this site)
The San Francisco Department of the Environment didn’t even wait for the [...]

A figurative quick “shot” at Liberals on gun control
July 29, 2008 | 1 Comment
Warning and disclaimer. If you are going to read this post, please read it all the way to the end. Many Liberals feel very deeply about their belief systems. If you use the tactic described below to “raise their consciousness” about armed self-defense, they may not appreciate it. You may have to verbally defend yourself. Hopefully they [...]

Conservatives voting for Obama? I think it’s a bad idea.
July 27, 2008 | 4 Comments
I had another post ready, but Steve raises an interesting argument in his comment on my previous post, “Supreme Court affirms individual right in Heller. Vote McCain!” ( 06-26-08) (Category: Courts) Steve’s approach deserves a response.
Steve opines that Obama and McCain are part of the Left-wing “boiling the frog” analogy, and that our freedoms are being incrementally [...]

A lot of conservatives are “unsettled” by Barack Obama’s speech calling youth and others to national “service.” Let’s assume for a moment that Barack H. Obama was not referring to a KGB/Gestapo-like domestic intelligence organization in his speech of 07-02-08, when he referred to a “civilian national security force.” What he said: “We [...]

Gun suicide article typical “advocacy journalism”
July 6, 2008 | 1 Comment
The headline reads,” Gun owners more often kill themselves than others. In the high court’s ruling on gun ownership, the dissenting opinion cited suicides as a reason to uphold the firearms ban.” (Stobbe, Mike, The Associated Press, The Denver Post, Denver Newspaper Agency, Denver, CO, 07-01-08, Page 9A.) I believe this article is a typical [...]

Stay safer. Avoid criminal behavior and criminals.
June 30, 2008 | 1 Comment
An article about a recent murder jogged my memory. (”Fatal knife attack not a shock. The female suspect has a history of attacking people with a blade.” Mitchell, Kirk, The Denver Post, Denver Newspaper Agency, Denver, Colorado, 06-15-08, Page 1-B.) This non-gun attack caused me to recollect an interesting statistic about murder. As I remember, about [...]
