Come Together! Maybe, after we investigate and analyze.

Isn’t it interesting? After a Democrat wins a Presidential Election, everyone is supposed to have a group hug and unite behind “The Chosen One.” Most Conservative pundits have sent their congratulations to “The Chosen One.” Most Republicans put “Country First.” How about our “friends” across the aisle?
If a Republican had been elected, you can bet your [...]

Stealing yard signs and elections-two sides of the same coin? What about the War on Terror?
October 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment
(Note to Tiffany re: comment on “More McCain yard signs down.” (Category: “Elections.”) I appreciate your empathy on the yard sign thefts. I am less comfortable with your description of John McCain as a “disgusting old man.” First, a general comment of my own about yard sign theft and other political crimes…
Oops! Lost another Bob Schaffer sign [...]

McCain yard sign stolen! I suspect the Democrats.
September 13, 2008 | 51 Comments
You can tell that the political season is upon us. Yesterday in a brazen daylight act of vandalism, somebody stole a McCain yard sign from my front yard. I suspect a person or persons belonging to the Hard Core Left Wing of the Democrat Party.
Who benefits from this crime? That is the question of the moment. It could [...]

McCain Picked Palin! Good Job, John!

John McCain shored up the Conservative Base; reassured many gunnies, including me; helped himself with Evangelicals; attracted many female Democrats and Independents; got a running mate with credentials as a reformer; made Hillary Rodham Clinton incredibly bitter about her party (in my opinion); and left the Democrats trying to figure out why the only woman in [...]

National Research Council nixes national ballistic database for now!
August 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment
The National Research Council (NRC), in a report released in March of this year and reported in Science Daily, has recommended against the creation of a nation-wide database made up of ballistic images of all “new and imported guns” sold in the U.S. ”Current technology” apparently “may not reliably distinguish very fine differences in large volumes [...]

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 [...]

The U.S. Supreme Court, hereafter referred to as Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) today affirmed in a 5-4 decision that the Second Amendment indeed refers to an individual right to keep and bear arms. This was a somewhat expected win, given the questions asked by the justices in oral arguments and the history [...]

Why not a third party vote?
June 17, 2008 | 1 Comment
Thanks to Dan for his comment on my last post regarding the possibility of actually trying to put a third party presidential candidate over the top with a coalition of gun owners. It’s always refreshing to discuss issues with conservatives, Libertarians, and gun owners, because we tend to be independent thinkers and not progressive/liberal groupthink [...]

The late U.S. Senator Everett Dirksen is quoted as saying “When I feel the heat, I see the light.” It is axiomatic in psychology that to be effective, behavior modification, that is, reward or punishment, has to change behavior. If you can’t change behavior, you have no real power to influence an organism, [...]
