Over the past… while… governments around the world (but specifically in Europe) have been doing their damnest to turn their populations into government-dependent sheep: telling them not to fight back, suggesting that the people give the criminals what they want, disarming the populaces, sending …
A whole lot of bytes have been slaughtered to make noise over Arizona’s new illegal immigration bill, SB 1070. By and large, my position on the bill is somewhat similar to Robb’s (they are here illegally – hence the term “illegal alien” – where is the problem?), so I …
Now that Facebook has gotten oh-so-very helpful and started spreading your personal information around the cortex without even so much as a by-your-leave, it might be useful to know what, exactly, it is spreading.
So for those folks out there who are interested in such things, what kind of insect or other critter would be so selective as to eat only the stalks of brand-new radish plants, but neither the leaves nor their developing roots? Bloody thing went through like a weed-eater, and took …
How is it that the backwater, unedcuated, redneck, cousin-humping, Appalachian-hillbilly, fly-over, west-bumfrack state I live in can manage to update the address on my driver’s license and handgun carry permit in five minutes on the internet, while the Great and Glorious Federal Government makes me request a hardcopy form that …
Speaking as someone who had to sit through the same exact four Power Point briefings (with the only changes being dates, locations, and other specific information) every time we pulled into a new port on deployment (pulling-in briefing, pulling-out briefing, security briefing, and health and safety briefing), I would venture …
Any honest person who keeps even the loosest of tabs on the realities of law-abiding citizens carrying firearms around in public would neither be surprised nor concerned about this particular piece of news:
People licensed to carry a concealed weapon usually pull their guns only at the firing range,
One of the favorite arguments used by anti-rights quislings against law-abiding citizens carrying firearms is that criminals, by and large, tend to have the element of surprise on their side, and if they are already pointing a gun at you, trying to draw your own gun is only going to …
Much like John, writing the Book of Revelations, cautioned future editors of the Bible against getting too liberal with their pens (fat lot of good that warning did him, though), I know better than to try and trim the following passage down in any way, shape, or form:
When a choir boy lost on his way home from caring for homeless orphans approaches you with an understandably one-sided business proposition, ignores your untoward and offensive refusal, and continues to piteously beg your financial support of his dying mother, what other ways are there to get your cold-shouldered disinclination …
For those enterprising, self-reliant individualists who always wanted their Swiss Army knives set up in just a certain way, with just the tools he or she wanted, your time has come. Granted, the product does not exactly exist at the moment (though your commitment and that of about another …
The Boondock Saints: First seeing this movie in college, I was completely blown away at its presentation, style, and overall message, especially given the controversial interwinding of morality and violence, even moreso in light of the Kitty Genovese tie-in, and doubly so due to it being a big-budget Hollywood …
If I ever happen to own/run my own commercial establishment (unlikely to happen, but we are talking hypotheticals here), like, say, a greenhouse/nursery/garden supply type place (because that actually holds some degree of interest for me) or perhaps a window tinting shop, its hours would probably be something along the …
“Americans who value freedom had better be more concerned about the gun control crowd than the criminals. The criminals want your money. The Neo-Totalitarians want your freedom.” by Charlie Reese
