While speaking at a Dec. 16 prayer vigil for victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Barack Obama, ever the divisive political creature with a burning transformative agenda, could not pass on the opportunity to politicize the event: “In the coming weeks, I’ll use whatever power this office holds to […]
Following the horrific massacre in Newtown, all liberals can agree that we need still more stringent gun control — something along the lines of what they have in hyper-statist Britain. Let’s see what effect once great Britain’s draconian authoritarianism has had. Here’s a report from 2009: The latest Government figures show that the total number […]
The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been a prime driver of the global warming hoax, even stooping so low as to win a Nobel Peace Prize for its shrill and pernicious propaganda. But now the IPCC admits that the jig is up. A leaked draft of its report AR5 confesses that it is […]
They really cannot help themselves (via Tom Nelson) Here’s the Seattle 350 Xmas songbook (bonus: special edition of the dreydl song!) seattlegreenways.org/wp-content/upl… — Bill McKibben (@billmckibben) December 16, 2012 The Seattle 350 group supposedly performed their “green” Christmas carols on the 8th at the Green Lake Community Center. Here’s a snippet of some of their […]
Retiring Senator Joe Lieberman makes a few good points (The Hill) Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called for a “national commission on violence,” in the wake of Friday’s shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. “I’m always reluctant about commissions, but I really believe we ought to have a national commission on violence,” […]
Conservatives are understandably upset that John Boehner seems to be putting more and more on the table in an attempt to get a deal out of Obama who, so far at least, seems to be offering nothing but a “Thanks, sucker” in return. Speaker John Boehner has proposed allowing tax rates to rise for the […]
Moments after children died on the floor of Sandy Hook Elementary School, there were gun ghouls moving in to grotesquely exploit their deaths for political purposes. However, there’s a very basic question that hasn’t been answered: What gun control law would have prevented the gun control tragedy? * Adam Lanza didn’t acquire his guns through […]
“There are no solutions, only trade-offs.” – Thomas Sowell In a country where we have a constitutional right to bear arms, there is no gun control law: that could have prevented the mass murder at Sandy Hook. There was already a “gun free zone” in place, which Lanza ignored. He stole the weapons and the semiautomatic […]
In the wake of the Newtown shootings, the left is clamoring for more gun control. : They want to ban assault weapons — which is liberal speak for scary guns — and do something about high-capacity magazines because they incentivize us to be mean, vicious, and violent. : However, as John Fund noted in National Review, it’s […]
We’ve all seen the video of the Lansing, Michigan union protests. : They’re mad that Gov. Rick Snyder passed a right-to-work law, which would curtail the power unions have in the state. : It’s Wisconsin reloaded. : However, the level of thuggery and violence has reached a whole new level. : Union supporters thought that they could really make […]
I’ll leave it to others better suited to comment on the horror of Friday afternoon in Newtown, Conn. I am not yet a parent and would not presume to understand the emotions involved in something like this. But on the media reaction and exploitation that followed the horrific news, I will comment. Simply put, it […]
My heart is sick. I feel so sorry for the children who were murdered, as well as the parents and loved ones of the slain kids and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. All of us here in the U.S.–who still have a soul–pray for those whose lives were just senselessly shattered. […]
While a horrific tragedy occurred in Newtown, CT, a similar event was stopped in Oklahoma. : Sammie Eaglebear Chavez, who is only 18, plotted an attack on his high school in Bartlesville, according to Fox News. An arrest affidavit says Chavez tried to convince other students to help him lure students into the auditorium, chain the […]
Democrats in Washington declare that they will absolutely, positively allow no changes whatever in the nation’s unsustainable entitlement programs — Social Security and Medicare. But out in the states, politicians of both parties aren’t averting their gaze from impending fiscal crises. They are working to change policies that put state governments on an unsustainable trajectory. […]
It’s difficult to believe that our American government is giving the extreme leadership of Egypt – the radical Muslim Brotherhood – 20 American fighter jets.: : More than $200 million in U.S. taxpayer funds will be provided to a Sharia dictatorship. Join the: ACLJ: in opposing this absurdity. Providing the Muslim Brotherhood with these planes is a vast mistake […]
In their practice of “never letting a serious crises go to waste,” liberals didn’t even wait for the full story to be reported before using today’s shooting at a Connecticut school for political reasons. CNN talk show host and British citizen Piers Morgan immediately took to his Twitter account to inject politics into the criminal […]
In his best Fukuyama-like fashion, CNN founder Ted Turner has pronounced the end of war. Not only that, but he implies that the U.S. is the stupid country for refusing to abide by his prognosticating powers. During a December 13 broadcast of CNN’s Newsroom, Turner made the sweeping pronouncement about the end of war assuring […]
Left-wing journalists may have been first to exploit the shootings in Connecticut, but they have not been the most shameless. The statist politicians they enable were quick to follow suit. Rigor mortis had hardly set in before the lowest of the low began screeching for still more gun restrictions, despite the tragedy happening in gun-restrictive […]
So back in October, Atlas Shrugged Part II came out. I said since the very beginning that this is a significant step, since if Part II failed to cross the finish line it would’ve been a simple matter for Part I to pass into history as a cinematic brain fart, but now that the first […]
Never let it be said that Liberals won’t take advantage of each and every tragedy to push their political agenda (too bad they didn’t push to make communism criminal, as Stalin and Mao murdered tens of millions of people) Ban killer weapons and do it right now: The logic is simple: New laws will prevent […]
Here’s one: The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.

Like all of us, David Frum of The Daily Beast was angered by the shootings in a Connecticut Grade School today. He was also angered by those 2nd Amendment supporters Tweeting him about the incident saying that he “won’t accept lectures” from “those who enable the shootings in the first place.” Frum’s despair and anger […]
“Mandatory sentences breed injustice,” Judge Roger Vinson told the New York Times. A Ronald Reagan appointee to the federal bench in Florida, Vinson was railing against a federal system that forced him to sentence a 27-year-old single mother to prison life without parole because her dealer ex-boyfriend had stored cocaine in her house. Note to […]
Round-up of a week that I was angry a lot — of course end of year tax time is here for those of us who pay quarterly taxes, and it’s a time for me to be angry as I realize more than half the year I work for the government.: : Is that right? Welcome your thoughts […]
The tragedy in Newton, CT should shake us all to our very core. : Of the 26 who were killed yesterday, 20 of them were children. It’s evil. : It’s grotesque. : And I’m sure many mothers and fathers were holding their children a little tighter last night. : Sadly, for twenty families, that will no longer be possible. […]
It should come as no surprise that the rate of mass shootings at schools and in other public places is: increasing. The surge has nothing to do with guns, which have been widely available in the U.S. for years. Gun control laws have been increasing. Instead, there is a direct correlation between the increase in violence […]
