Posted on by William Teach

Climate astrology at its best. The Reuters story is all about how Obama may deal with the Keystone Pipeline (which he will probably do his best to kill, despite being a way to provide tens of thousands of jobs here in the US) and Hotcoldwetdry, and provides this spiffy quote Michael Brune, executive director of […]

The 40 Greatest Quotes From Winston Churchill

Posted on by John Hawkins

The finest American President of the 20th century was Ronald Reagan, but the greatest world leader during that time was Winston Churchill. Had the Brits not had a man of his caliber at the helm during World War II, world history may have turned out very differently. Not only was Churchill a great leader, he […]

France and the UK Could Be the Lynchpins of Europe

Posted on by John Browne

Over the past two months, Europe’s problems seem to have disappeared from the headlines. However, the new French Socialist government is pushing ahead with policies that favor significantly higher government spending, greater regulation of business and commerce, and severely higher taxes on high earners. The long term effects of these policies, which I believe will […]

Illogical Extremism of the left

Posted on by Michael Fell

Recent events prove beyond reasonable doubt that members of the institutionalized “progressive” left are more than enthusiastic about attacking guns and gun owners.:  True to their Alinsky roots, they are ready, willing and eager to demonize gun owners and Second Amendment proponents by disparagingly using the term “gun lobby” to describe them.:  It is no […]

 

Krispy Kreme Christie Shoots NRA in the Back

Posted on by Dave Blount

You wouldn’t let rattlesnakes into your house; why allow venous snakes like Chris Christie in your party? The latest outrage from the pork-scarfing RINO who repaid his precious keynote slot at the Republican National Convention by doing more than any other person to get Obama reelected: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, thought to be eyeing […]

 

Whoops! New NY Gun Law Forgot To Exempt Cops On High-Capacity Mags

Posted on by Matt Vespa

There’s a reason why moving slow on legislation is good. : If it’s too big, or you do it too fast, you often complicate the problem. : New York has just passed the most stringent anti-gun laws on the books. : Yes, government did something! However, as progressives crack open the champagne, they forgot to exempt law enforcement […]

 

Never Put The Bill of Rights on a Graduated Scale

Posted on by Matt Vespa

I’ve seen Facebook statuses from some of my liberal friends that go like this: First Amendment ≠ Second Amendment. : No. There should be equal advocacy for honoring the entire Bill of Rights in American political discourse. : Only liberals seem to put things on graduated scale. : It makes things more palatable to their base to swallow, […]

 

Jonah Golberg Vs. R.S. McCain On The Conservative Movement

Posted on by John Hawkins

My buddy Robert Stacy McCain over at The Other McCain took issue with National Review and one of my favorite columnists, Jonah Goldberg.

Paper: “Climatic changes measured during the last 100 years are not unique or even unusual”

Posted on by William Teach

Obama’s Neverending Campaign To Continue In Order To Take On NRA

Posted on by William Teach

If there is one thing nice we can say about (NMP) Obama, it’s that he runs an excellent campaign apparatus. Governance? Respect for Americans who disagree with him? Foreign relations? Adherence to the Constitution? Not so much. Campaigning and ginning up crazies to get out there? Yes. And lying liar Stephanie Cutter tells us about […]

 

This Week In Quotes (Double Edition): Jan 4 – Jan 17

Posted on by John Hawkins

It occurred to me, after the Sandy Hook murders, that blaming guns is a secular substitute for blaming the devil. People find it too challenging to figure out why a human being would do this terrible thing and they latch on to the idea that the gun made it happen. Suicide presents a similar challenge, […]

 

Anti-American Asians Don’t Speak for Me

Posted on by Michelle Malkin

Martial arts movie legend Jackie Chan deserves a rhetorical roundhouse kick to the mouth. So does his pal PSY, the Korean rapper whose “Gangnam Style” music video has racked up more than a billion views worldwide. Both men have raked in big bucks from Western fans while trashing the very freedoms and cultures that made […]

 

Wake up, socially liberal fiscal conservatives

Posted on by Jonah Goldberg

Dear Socially Liberal Fiscal Conservative Friend, That’s pretty toothy, so I’m going to call you Bob. But whatever specific name you go by, Bob, you know who you are. You’re the sort of person who says to his conservative friends or co-workers something like, “I would totally vote for Republicans if they could just give […]

 

Sandy Hook: Obama’s Latest Crisis To Exploit

Posted on by David Limbaugh

Liberals have an uncanny knack for designing solutions that do not address the problem at hand, and they’re doing it again in their current effort to use the Sandy Hook shootings as fodder for promoting stringent gun control measures.

Searching for Answers After Newtown

Posted on by Scott Rasmussen

Following the school shooting horror in Newtown, Conn., our nation shares a heartfelt belief that something must be done. Polls instantly showed an increase in support for stricter gun control laws.

Gun-Ban Work Around: 3D Printing High Capacity Magazines

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the most popular targets for gun-banners in this post Sandy Hook environment is the talk of banning high capacity ammunition magazines.

A Thoughtful Look at the Marijuana Legalization Trend

Society is gradually becoming more liberal — or libertine — in many ways, and one of the latest trends is the gradual legalization of marijuana in one state after another.

Illinois Exporting It’s Unique Brand of Crazy to a Locale Near You

Posted on by Unicorn Jones

It’s not like it’s a shock to anyone that Illinois is full of corruption. Heck, of the last seven governors, five spent their twilight years stamping license plates in orange jumpsuits (the governors, not the license plates). Even the low level bureaucrats in Illinois can taste the dream of one day owning the spotlight and […]

 

Fort Hood Laid the Gun-Grabbers’ Arguments to Rest

Posted on by Dave Blount

We don’t need to debate whether disarming the law-abiding makes people safer. That issue has been settled repeatedly. Fort Hood alone was definitive: Shouldn’t an army base be the last place where a terrorist should be able to shoot at people uninterrupted for 10 minutes? After all, an army base is filled with soldiers who […]

Posted on by Alex Nobles

Why is this so hard to understand! There is no compromise to be had! Get rid of the second amendment, or don’t! The funniest part in all this, is to watch the liberals get upset when they want to ask you about marijuana use on the proposed background checks. Share it!
