Obama “Second Amendment” ad a tasteless joke?
October 4, 2008 | 1 Comment
Barrack Hussein Obama apparently found an NRA life member who does not understand the meaning of “shall not be infringed.” The Obama Campaign ran an ad tonight in Denver during National Treasure on Channel 24 claiming that Barack Obama supports the Second Amendment.
In my opinion, that is like saying that Adolf Hitler supported religious freedom [...]

Cautionary note on yard sign revenge. Hunting is not worth it.
October 3, 2008 | 2 Comments
Craig put up a comment today about my post, “McCain yard sign stolen, I suspect the Democrats.” He implied that he is going hunting tonight, either for opposition yard signs, or for Democrats vandalizing GOP signs. While I understand his frustration, I would strongly discourage either activity.
When somebody steals your sign, you feel angry and violated. [...]

More McCain yard signs down. Obama and backers apparently dislike First and Second Amendments
September 29, 2008 | 7 Comments
Comments continue to come in regarding my recent post on vandalism directed against Republican yard signs. Two people in the South Denver Metro Area said to my wife and me on Saturday that their McCain yard signs had been slashed. Yesterday, I picked up a yard sign for a GOP state senate candidate that had [...]

Brits have gained some right to self-defense
September 21, 2008 | 1 Comment
In July of this year, before my last post bemoaning their state of helplessness in the face of crime, British subjects appear to have been given some ability to legally defend themselves from burglars and assailants. On July 15th, authorities authorized crime victims to fight back against attack without having to prove their innocence [...]

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 [...]

I’m not an attorney, and I don’t even play one on TV, but it seems to me that D.C. is treading on thin ice with its new gun regulations in at least two areas. First, the new law requires that registered handguns be kept unloaded and disassembled or locked up unless the gun is [...]

Colorado Senate Race Debate: Shaffer v. Udall
July 14, 2008 | 1 Comment
A debate took place today between former GOP Congressman Bob Schaffer and Democrat Congressman Mark Udall at the Wildlife Experience hall. I thought Schaffer did very well, especially when he read “anti-war” Udall’s own words in favor of going to war in Iraq. Schaffer also scored points when he noted that he had [...]

Dick Morris, “Heller and “schizophrenic” attitude about guns (Part 2)
July 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment
In Part 1, we discussed what I believe to be the fact that the recent Heller Supreme Court case merely affirmed 200 years of “Standard Model” legal precedents that the Second Amendment clearly recognizes an individual right to keep and bear arms. In Part 2, we will deal with Mr. Morris’s belief that “strict gun controls” save [...]

On 07-01-08, Dick Morris, former Clinton advisor turned Fox News Analyst, wrote for jewishworldreview.com that the Supreme Court of the U.S. chose “…the wrong time…to make a sea change…admitting the Second Amendment to our pantheon of civil liberties…by demonstrating how willing they are to toss aside decades of jurisprudence in pursuit of a conservative agenda…” Mr. [...]
