Truth And Common Sense

This is fascinating and a good insight into the minds of constitutional lawyers.  The article is fairly well balanced, something amazing for Newsweek.  The authors point out that the strange bedfellows of gun right advocates and abortion advocates arguing together in the upcoming Supreme Court case is unusual on its face, but has some validity [...]

HOTAIR is run and directed by establishment Republicans.  As much as I respect their right to do so, they should hang a sign around their necks identifying themselves. “Oh we aren’t REALLY conservatives, just play them on the INTERNET when it promotes big establishment Republicans.”Without wasting time highlighting their newest old rant against Beck suffice [...]

Obviously, the guy is a nut.  It will be interesting to see what exactly the issue was, but there is some sort of a manifesto left behind about taxes.  First, and for the new version of the Carnivore program being run as we speak, this is wrong.  Targeting a building that has workers in it [...]

Read some of the comments.  Most people are fed up with this.  Is Obama a citizen?   At this point, who cares?  I know, some who read this are sputtering, but stay with me on this.  Let’s take a run down that rabbit hole for a second and see where it takes us.  Here are a [...]

Now I’m going off the NYT, a risk most of the time, but it seems there was a jobs bill on the table that both parties agreed to.  The bill was filled with pork-again.   According to reports I read, both sides has signed off.  It was Reid’s fear that the democrats would be hammered by [...]

I speed-dialed my ex partner on this one.  We both just retired from law enforcement and knew that Obama had just violated a super cardinal rule “Never, NEVER, embarrass or upset a judge!”  You have to remember who these guys are.  First, they are lawyers, (as my buddy puts it- they think they are the [...]

I was searching Youtube for some old videos from Three Doors Down.  I like to listen to music while writing.  On the search I ran across these two and as I watched them I was struck by the men and their families.  It reminded me why the left fears the military so much.  Study the [...]

I’ve been following the struggle homschoolers face in Germany.   That country just can’t get away from its fascist tendencies.  Currently, Germany hounds homeschoolers like they were some kind of dangerous crank group.  Or as the story puts it,
The HSLDA also notes that homeschoolers in Germany face increasing amounts of persecution.
“There is no safety for homeschoolers [...]

After last night it is now clear we are being led by a committed ideologue. His agenda is not the health or welfare of his citizens, their businesses, or their futures. His agenda is HIS agenda. From the head tilt and far away gaze, to his demand that all things STILL bend to his will, [...]

I’m not going to get into the weeds about whether or not the Blackwater employees had any justification to open fire on people in Iraq.  Maybe they saw one rifleman and figured everybody was a bad guy.  I do know most of the employees are former soldiers or police and are well trained and not [...]
