As I alluded a few days ago, I will be attending the Knoxville Tea Party tomorrow afternoon. While I will be toting along my camera and my sign, I will not be carrying my Walther, because the Tea Party is scheduled to be taking place at the World’s Fair Park …
Looks like even some politicians are getting fed up:
Gov. Rick Perry today joined state Rep. Brandon Creighton and sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 50 in support of states’ rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in
Have you ever spent about three hours staring at a pile of parts, and you know what the problem is, but you just… cannot… fix it? Yeah, that was me, yesterday. Way back in November, shortly after President Barack Hussein Obama was elected, I purchased two AR-15 lowers, with …
Kevin’s previously-linked mega-fisking was prompted by a Scot, James Kelley, (who shall remain linkless) who wants to ban all firearms everywhere such that he (and, I assume, people like him) can “live without fear” – something he considers to be a “cornerstone of personal freedom”. Regarding this position on rights, …
A recent addition to my blogroll, Found: One Troll, has been a busy little beaver, doing a minute-by-minute, blow-by-blow review of not only 20/20′s “If I Only Had a Gun” piece, but also 60 Minutes’ “Gun Rush” show. I managed to avoid watching either of those shows, the former …
Unfortunately, I cannot make the same claim that SailorCurt does – I never knew any SEALs during my time in the Navy (that I know of), but I am still honored to have once served in the same branch of the military as them… doubly so when they go and …
If you ever wanted to see how fiskings are really done, head on over to Kevin’s place and take a look at his recent broadside. Not only does it make my paltry attempts at fisking the Commercial Appeal’s material look… paltry… but it should also pretty solidly resolve the …
After nine months of trying to control/curtail my caffeine intake, drinking an entire 16-ounce can of original-flavor Monster (after 12 ounces of Mountain Dew) has had a … jittery effect on me. Expect posts today to be more of the “linky-no-thinky” variety, and less of… whatever it is I write …
1. If there are ten cars stacked up behind you, and another ten cars have passed you on the right, and you are on a four-lane highway (two on each side), YOU ARE IN THE WRONG GORRAMED LANE. Get the frak over already. I do not give a crap …
The good news? As in the really, realy good news? Mazda is making a Mazdaspeed 3 based off the new 2010 design. The horrifically bad news? According to my most-recent copy of Popular Mechanics, as well as this site, the new MazdaSpeed 3 will have the same design …
Go. Read. Now. Now, explain to me again how “waiting periods” are a good thing. Show me how they are actually useful, rather than flawed, specious, and ineffective encumberances on a Constitutionally-protected right. And explain to me why this innocent girl, in obvious and acute fear for …
There is a box sitting in my apartment complex’s office right now, less than 100 yards from my apartment. There is a very high probability that this box contains the AR-15 upper that Michael Z. Williamson built for me. This box was mailed last Saturday (04APR09), as a Priority Mail …
Reposted for truth: Seems to me that every American owes each crewmember of the Maersk Alabama a drink when they get back to the States, for reminding us of the kind of men that made America great. And, if I know half of an iota about seafarers, they will take …
By way of Tam, we are treated to this quote this morning:
Roberts: Under the Bush administration, you pretty much said the ball was in their court when it came to reinstating the ban. Now, it’s a Democratic President, a Democratic House. So, is the ball in your
If you are not already watching Chuck, you should be – especially considering that it has not yet been picked up for its third season, and it needs all the viewer numbers it can get. As for better reasons, I will leave it to these folks to document the …
By the commonly-accepted standard of “two months’ salary”, I short-changed Better Half on her engagement ring. However, by her standards and desires, it was pretty much exactly what she wanted, and who am I to argue with her? However, thanks to an interesting artist by the name of Lee Gainer…
Apparently I said something interesting yesterday, and it is featured over at Secretlivesofscientists’ Weblog. Shiny. And for that ego-boosting cut-and-paste, into the blogroll/RSS feeder with her!…
I admit – I am not 100% certain what this Java app is supposed to do or be used for, or why it would link to my corner of the ‘verse (even after reading the developers’ mission statement), but I have to admit… it is kind of fun to …
“The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people;that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent,... or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.” by John Dewey The Living Thoughts of Thomas Jefferson, pp.46 - 47
