• Fuming Egyptian President Warns He Will Do ‘What Is Necessary’ to ‘Protect’ His Country ‘Very, Very Soon’

  March 25, 2013 at 6:42am

  Well, just another good example of how well that “Arab Spring” is working out. Now, if Obama could just figure out how to bring it here.

• Wall Street Legend Warns: A ‘Storm’ Is Coming

  March 1, 2013 at 9:17pm

  We should be surprised that it has not happened sooner. Or, maybe it has. If you buy food, or gas or any other thing you need every day; does anything cost the same? Has your income increased to match your cost? Do you feel that things are better? Why are we listening to “experts” tell us things we already know.

• Dem Congressman Claims There’s a Major Historical Error in ‘Lincoln’

  February 7, 2013 at 6:44am

  There are many historical errors not only in the movie but in most historical accounts and certainly what is taught in schools and universities. Even Glenn Beck errs through omission. The most basic is that the civil war was primarily about taxation and not about slavery. If one reviews carefully Lincoln’s first inaugural address, he indicates that he would do nothing about slavery but enforce the new tariff laws that had been just been put in place by his predecessor. The implication was that he would use force (i.e. send in forces) to do so. But do not take my word for. Just do a quick search on the web and you can check this for yourself.

• Union Leaders’ Epiphany Leaves Them Scrambling: Wait, Obamacare Is Going to Drive up Our Costs?

  How could anyone have known that socialism doesn’t work.

• Report: Washington Didn’t Even Tell Marine Gen. He Was Being Replaced

  Correct. This is a systematic purge of the top command. Something evil this way comes!

• Court Rules Obama Actions Unconstitutional — Which Ones?

  Does anyone believe the Obama Administration will obey the Court order???

• So What Is an ‘Assault Rifle’ Really? We Look at the Definitions and How the Term Is ‘Demonized’

  January 11, 2013 at 10:43am

  As the article correctly points out: the progressives have done a masterful job on every issue at manipulating an uninformed public by creating phrases that redefine the issue (the “war on women” for example). Here is what the article implies but does not completely articulate: There is virtually no difference between an AR 15 and a 22 rifle (the Ruger 10/22, as one of the more popular model, is a good example). The AR round is longer (but almost the same diameter) and the bullet has a higher velocity; neither of which matters (unless you plan to shoot out to long distances). Saying guns are responsible for violent shootings is like saying the automobile is responsible for DUIs. However, my guess is this will be lost on the majority of people.

• Youth Pastor in Pajamas Foils Christmas Day Robbery: ‘I Hope You Don’t Have a Gun, I Hope You Don’t Have a Gun’

  While this ended without anyone getting injured, it was a potential tragedy. Please read an article on http://www.usacarry.com which discusses the mental aspect of a person committing a criminal act. In this case you have three people breaking into a home, with close neighbors, in daylight. This act alone indicates the perpetrators are irrational. The second point raised is “If you have a gun, is this incident one in which you should use it”? NO! My wife and I both compete in defensive pistol competitions and have taken a number of courses on the subject. The first rule is to avoid injury to yourself and your loved ones. This means you evaluate the risk BEFORE doing anything. In this case, although meaning well, Mr. Stevens took an unnecessary chance which could have resulted in his death. Which leads to the second aspect of the “avoid injury” rule: avoid physical conflict (hand to hand, knife or gun fight) if possible. If you want to see how quickly you could get killed, grab a couple of paint ball guns and act out some scenarios.

• There’s a ‘Chilling’ Economic Report Making the Rounds Among Top Execs — And Wait Until You See What It Says About Gov’t Programs

  December 25, 2012 at 11:23am

  Let’s get more concise. Elected officials have spent recklessly for pet projects and to buy votes. Government has expanded beyond any reasonable necessity. A large portion of the population believe they are entitled to a wide variety of “things” and that it is the government’s (meaning the rest of the population) to provide it. To finance all of the above, the government has used money that should have been set aside for the promised programs (social security etc) and spent it. If any of this was done in the private sector, people would go to jail. In government, they get reelected or promoted.

• New Strange Details Emerge About Newtown Shooter

  In reply to LameLiberals.

  We know that Obama/Holder and the left are using the incident to ban guns (wasn’t that the real purpose of Fast and Furious). Obama said he would have more leeway after the action so don’t expect him to wait for Congress to start the ban. The changing “facts” are media’s way of nudging the public along.
