• Gun Owners in Illinois One Step Closer to Major Victory

  May 24, 2013 at 4:06pm

  This is unlikely to pass but I hope it does for those captive in Ill for whatever reason.
  On the other side: A Firearm Owners Identification card? Nice. I’ll pass thank you. I really don’t like being “registered”.
  Hey. I hope to see ya on the highway headed for TX. Just like my home state CT_ Ill is a good place to be from.

• Is the Boy Scouts’ Gay Amendment the ‘Beginning of the End’ for the Group? (Plus: Tell Us Where You Stand)

  May 24, 2013 at 3:46pm

  Funny. I make a lot of posts to the blaze but any time I post on hallowell’s stuff I get blocked. Not sure what the deal is. Whatever the “policy” is here but it looks like ya gotta be somebody’s friend or you get black listed. I’ll be skipping this byline from now on.

• Faith-Healing Parents Charged With Murder for Refusing Kids’ Medical Care — Should They Go to Prison?

  May 24, 2013 at 8:53am

  I think this is a tough call but in my opinion this couple is off the track. I get it about religious freedom and the freedom to be responsible for your own choices but somewhere there has to be a place for “common sense”. In today’s time, in this country, it seems like “common sense” to consult a medical doctor. Perhaps several medical Drs.
  That doesn’t mean you have to do everything the Dr. says, frankly that would be foolish in my opinion. Far too many people today bow at the alter of the “professional”. People worship doctorates of anything and definitely MDs.. “The doctor said… blah blah blah’. Bull excrement. We aren’t that many generations beyond blood letting and leaching. So no divinity in that crew. Too many of the MD’s I have come in contact with are walking on the shoulders of giants but are relatively clueless when it comes to their own personal innovation or insight. If you don’t like one MD’s opinion it isn’t difficult to get a conflicting one. Still, to not seek ANY professional medical advice for a child or take advantage of things like antibiotics or treatments for pneumonia seems irresponsible. Ultimately I agree that it is in God’s hands but God seems to have this crazy tendency to work miracles through the actions of others. Doubles the blessing.

• John McCain Lectures Tea Party Senator on How ‘Business’ Gets Done in Congress: ‘That’s What We’ve Been Doing for a Couple Hundred Years’

  May 24, 2013 at 7:02am

  Term limits PLEASE. Not just for senators but for ANY & everyone working in Washington.
  What they have been doing in AND around the congress for at least 1/2 of the last 100 years is running the country into the ground. Retire John, and take any senator, or staffer, or aid in either party who has been in office more than 2 terms with you. The political elite class has expanded beyond what the country can afford to pay for. It is time to start closing it down. Past time.

• DOJ Reportedly Snooped on TWO Additional Fox News Employees

  There is a stench coming from the democratic party. Time for them to go. They should take about 3/4 of the republicans with them.

• These Are the 4 Most Important Takeaways from Today’s IRS Hearing

  May 18, 2013 at 8:29am

  The IRS was doing exactly what top democrats were asking of them. How long are the IRS people going to cover for the people who GAVE them the marching orders? Answer? Forever. Everyone know you don’t dare cross this band of thugs.
  Here is a quote from a letter Welch wrote:
  “We write to urge the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to investigate whether any groups qualifying as social welfare organizations under section 501(c)(4) of the federal tax code are improperly engaged in political campaign activity”
  In my opinion Welch’s requests were made in response to the increased funding and campaign activity on the republican side. His party was loosing its grip on power so this was, in my opinion, a desperation move. I would not be surprised to hear that key players in the executive administration backed up these type of requests but those guys are professionals. I’m sure they covered their tracks.
  Better wake up. It sort of looks like the country is being run by a bunch of pompous thugs with no ethical standards, no conscience, and none of the values you expect from normal people.

• Burglars Force Homeowner Into Closet – And it Turns out Very, Very Poorly for Them

  May 18, 2013 at 7:53am

  In reply to Mil-Dot.

  The reason it is necessary to make the statement “no charges were made against the home owner” is because is states like mine, Connecticut, the home owner WOULD likely have been charged. No castle laws here. So. Duh. Not every place is like Texas. In case it escaped you a significant portion of the country has turned completely limp-wrist loony. In places like CT, MA, RI, NY if you defend your property with a gun you are screwed. You have NO RIGHT to defend PROPERTY in those states. The home owner was no longer in mortal danger so in those states he had NO RIGHT to shoot anyone. If that seems crazy to you or is “news” then better wake up and see what is going on in the rest of the country.

• SHOCK: IRS Admits to Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election, Apologizes

  Tax money when it is spent, not when it is earned. Get rid of the IRS.
