1. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject. 2. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone. 3. Glock: The original point and click interface. 4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control. 5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords? 6. If guns cause crime, then pencils... Sign in to see full entry.

How Liberals Respond to National Needs

I haven't been able to verify this yet, but as I'll be gone for a couple of days I wanted to get this up for discussion. I heard this morning that Senator Chuck Schumer has a sure-fire proposal for dealing with high gas prices in the works. His brainstorm? Penalize the oil companies by making them...

Miers nomination an affront to Hispanics?

Is Harriet Miers a betrayal of conservatives?

Harriet Miers’ nomination to the Supreme Court is being viewed by many conservatives as a betrayal of their confidence in President Bush. There are several imminently qualified hard conservative judges available, they complain, so why did he nominate an unknown? That’s the key word. Unknown to whom?... Sign in to see full entry.

New Orleans Floodwall Failed Due to Clinton-Era Design Flaws

Minister Louis Farrakhan’s outrageous claim that whites blew up New Orleans levees to flood black neighborhoods is based largely on reports that an explosion was heard as the levee failed.

Congratulations, Chief Justice Roberts!

John G. Roberts has been confirmed and sworn in as our new Chief Justice.

Reconstruction money must go to those in need! - Nancy Pelosi

Here’s perfect evidence of why the congressional liberals have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about concerning storm reconstruction. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has called for an independent commission to oversee relief contracts “to ensure taxpayers’ money goes to those in need, not to... Sign in to see full entry.

Are military recruiters predators?

Yes, say some liberals. They prey on our helpless, innocent, naïve, ignorant, impressionable youth, sending them off to be cannon fodder for the Bush war-for-oil machine. Thank you, liberals, for such a positive view of our youth. Either the parents among you, or the educational system you worship,... Sign in to see full entry.

No-bid contracts awarded to Bush’s pals for storm cleanup?

Down the page a ways on September 19th, I shared some information to help put the contract(s) awarded to Halliburton subsidiary KBR into context - not that I had the slightest reason to think the news media wouldn't do so. Accusations continue that the Bush administration is awarding one contract... Sign in to see full entry.
