In wake of the Boston bombing, I expected a whole lot of knee-jerk reactions.  First major meltdown apparently is New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to [...]

That’s their words, not mine: Plaintiffs Dennis Horvitz and Kenneth Bronstein are members of American Atheists and are Atheists reared in the Jewish tradition. They find the cross, a symbol of Christianity, offensive and repugnant to their beliefs, culture, and traditions, and allege that the symbol marginalizes them as American citizens. They even think the US Constitution [...]

  John Boehner says maybe not. What do you think? [polldaddy poll=3593581] OK, now what I’d really like to actually discuss is how many people actually know WHY the 14th exists and why it actually applies in the 21st century. I don’t care if anyone thinks Boehner or the Republicans in general are pandering to [...]

Every so often a friend says something that says what I want to say so much better than I ever could.  In this case it’s CMC Sand.  I’ve quoted her here before.  In essence, the Obama administration has filed its response to a Michigan lawsuit challenging Obamacare.  They are saying the commerce clause supports what [...]

Sometime in 2007 or so, some people decided the US was too polarized.  I’m not terribly sure that’s a bad thing.  But, it became a political issue that the Democrats used to some success I suppose.  Obama was going to fix that polarization problem.  It was change you could believe in.

I got a problem with that.  The ONLY intent of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights is to insure everyone is protected equally by the law.  For the US Attorney General to [...]

It’s reached an all-time low. The House of Representatives, on the heels of an impassioned and lively debate, voted Tuesday to formally admonish Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., for accusing the president of lying during a joint session of Congress a week ago. The vote was 240-179. Five lawmakers voted “present.” Here’s what they voted on: [...]

This is kinda funny.  And, kinda possible. Not sure I trust the ACLU to stop it from happening tho. Are you thinking twice before you order your next pizza? We may not live in a society where government and private corporations collude to track your every move — not yet anyways. But, we are fast [...]

On August 1, 2007, Obama posted on his site a long list of what he would do as President. Part of that included: …..This brings me to the fourth step in my strategy: I will make clear that the days of compromising our values are over. Major General Paul Eaton had a long and distinguished [...]

An article today pointed to the fact that not all National Rifle Association members are against Obama.  Heck, Obama even has the support of the American Hunters and Shooters Association.  Hey, since it has the words “hunter” and “shooter” in its title, it’s got to be about guys who like to shoot things with guns, [...]
