Two New Polls: Americans Fear Our Government More Than Terrorists
29 Apr 2013 2:39 pm John Hawkins

“I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” — James Madison
Since the war on terror began, the government has slowly but surely chipped away at our freedoms in the name of security. Whether you believe that was necessary to keep us safe or whether you believe that the government has gone too far, two recent polls in the wake of the Boston bombing seem to show that the …

Elderly Man Arrested for Defending Himself From Bear
9 Apr 2013 1:04 pm Dave Blount

Liberty is only a fading memory in a country run by kooks so authoritarian that an elderly man can be arrested for defending himself from a wild beast on his own property. From Taxachusetts:
A 76-year-old Auburn man is facing charges after killing a bear in his backyard.
Richard Ahlstrand told WBZ-TV he was stocking his bird feeder Friday night when a bear about seven feet tall and 300-to-400 pounds started chasing him.
That’s when he turned his shotgun on the bear.
“I didn’t have time to aim through the sights, but I aimed …

Lady Liberty
16 Mar 2013 3:31 pm Michael Fell

Lady Liberty stands in New York Harbor proclaiming: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Lady Liberty: A beacon of freedom the entire world sees. A symbol of a better way of life anchored in liberty, opportunity and equal protection under the law.
Inspiring yes, but that is not the entire story.
Lady Liberty also stands as a reminder to America that the the American way of life is why people have come to this country for centuries.
What the world is currently witnessing is the collapse of …

NYC Soda Ban Approaches
26 Feb 2013 1:37 pm Dave Blount

On March 12, the boom comes down on demonized “sugary drinks” in Michael Bloomberg’s authoritarian dystopia. Servings larger than 16 ounces will be forbidden.
Among the implications, inmates of NYC will need to pay higher per unit prices for smaller bottles.
Typically, a pizzeria charges $3 for a 2-liter bottle of Coke. But under the ban, customers would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at a total cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of soda.
This also makes for more trash. But Bloomberg will make up for this by banning Styrofoam.
Other …

Feds Force Private Businesses to Give Hiring Priority to Criminals
15 Feb 2013 2:08 pm Dave Blount

For anyone who doesn’t get it yet that the federal government is the enemy of any productive, decent, law-abiding American, this story ought to help:
Should it be a federal crime for businesses to refuse to hire ex-convicts? Yes, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which recently released 20,000 convoluted words of regulatory “guidance” to direct businesses to hire more felons and other ex-offenders.
The ruling kakistocracy is made up of reprobates who live by a criminal creed of coercion and theft. That they look out for their fellow malefactors is …

War on Soda Escalates
14 Feb 2013 1:27 pm Dave Blount

You didn’t think sanctimonious moonbat totalitarians would quit with cigarettes, did you? Soda pop is under siege:
Soda and other sugary drinks have unsafe levels of high-fructose corn syrup or other added sugars, a consumer group says, and it’s urging the government to determine a safe level to reduce Americans’ “dangerously high sugar consumption.”
The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a petition today with the Food and Drug Administration urging the agency to identify a safe level for added sugars in beverages. …
Beverage companies can use natural non-caloric sweeteners …

Fork in the Road
15 Jan 2013 12:39 pm Dave Blount

Obama’s appalling reelection put the country on a path that has come to a fork. One way leads to strife — very possibly impeachment and even civil war. That’s the high road. The other way lies socialist dictatorship — and it is so close you can see it from here:
The White House has identified 19 executive actions for President Barack Obama to move unilaterally on gun control, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of House Democrats on Monday, the administration’s first definitive statements about its response to last month’s …

There is Nothing to Compromise on Guns
10 Jan 2013 4:20 pm Alex Nobles

The second amendment is quite clear. The government does not should not have the ability to restrict gun ownership. I don’t even understand why there is an argument. The founding fathers made it quite clear on why they incorporated the second amendment into the constitution. You can read my article here if you don’t quite get it. It had nothing to do with self defense. That is just a bonus.
If you actually want to restrict gun ownership you need to amend the document itself. Have fun getting super majority. It …

Homeless Bill of Privileges
15 Dec 2012 1:37 pm Dave Blount

Under rule by liberals, we aren’t exactly giving up our rights. We are just trading them for different rights. The First and Tenth Amendments are crumbling, the Second will soon follow, and the fundamental right to own property has been reduced to a joke, but at least those rendered homeless by Obama sucking all the money out of the private economy now have a right to urinate on the sidewalk, among other fundamental liberties to be secured under San Francisco’s proposed Homeless Persons’ Bill of Rights. These rights include:
– Sleeping …

Secede Petitions Cover All 50 States, Over 660K Signatures
14 Nov 2012 6:49 am William Teach

To answer the question right up front, no, this is most likely not a serious movement to secede. Certainly not in deep blue states like Brokeifornia (10,036 at time of writing), NY (12,806), and Massachusetts (107), among others. Most of the petitions are carbon copies of all the others. Heck, it took 5 minutes for me to create the Alaska one, and only because I forgot my login password and had to reset it. No, this is mostly people showing that this is still a Democratic Republic, and want the …

For Love of Country
5 Nov 2012 11:43 am Michael Fell

Speaking in Springfield Ohio, Barack Obama mentioned Mitt Romney. As soon as he mentioned Romney’s name, the crowd began to boo. Obama told the crowd:
“No, no, no. Don’t boo, vote. Voting is the best revenge.”
Speaking in New Hampshire, Romney told supporters how Obama had said that voting would be their “best revenge” against Romney:
“Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you: Vote for love of country. It is time we lead America to a better place.”
This is but one snapshot highlighting the difference between Americans …

A Kind Word For Pamela Geller And Her Pro-Israel Ad Campaign
12 Oct 2012 4:48 am John Hawkins

Let’s say a Muslim came up to you and said, “Pamela I’m against terrorism. I don’t want Sharia in this country. I don’t want to see Israel destroyed. I consider myself to be a moderate. But, I keep hearing people in the news claim you hate people like me. So I want to hear it straight from you. Is that true?” What would you tell that person?
Pamela Geller: “I love people like you and I hope that you and I will fight together this oppression, this gender apartheid,” and if …

New York City About To Burn Over “Piss Christ”
26 Sep 2012 9:07 am John Hawkins

Andres Serrano’s insulting “art,” ‘Piss Christ,’ which features a photograph of a crucifix submerged in urine is about to go on display in New York City.
Andres Serrano’s work — a “photograph of the crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine” — first ignited controversy in 1989 when D’Amato complained to the US Senate that it was an “outrage,” an “indignity” and
a “piece of trash” that had been funded by taxpayers. Serrano had won a $15,000 prize for his work, backed in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
…But the piece …

Surprise! Pakistan Interior Minister Asking Interpol To Ban On-line Anti-Islam Material
15 Sep 2012 8:34 am William Teach

You’ll remember that the Muslim bloc of nations amongst the UN Human Rights Council have attempted to pass a “defamation of religion” resolution multiple times that would make it a crime to defame Islam and Mohammed, and have tried other routes at the UN since 1999. Hillary Clinton sympathized. And we’ve seen Mr. Obama and Clinton, along with a raft of others, sympathize with Islamists being offended by a video, which was simply a pretext, considering that the video came out months ago.
Question: if this was a spontaneous grassroots demonstration, …

Report Finds Christians Under Assault From Government And Secular Groups
25 Aug 2012 8:30 am William Teach

Anyone who is surprised, raise your hand
(Fox News) A new report by the Family Research Council and the Liberty Institute claims that there’s been a rising pattern of hostility toward Christians in America over the past decade.
The 140-page “Survey of Religious Hostility in America,” prepared by the Liberty Institute and the Family Research Council, highlighted more than 600 examples illustrating what it characterized as religious animosity shown by judges, government bureaucrats, schools and secular groups. From ObamaCare mandates that force religious entities to pay for contraception, to children being punished …

The Free Press Act: A Proposal to Reinvigorate Our Freedom of Speech
24 Aug 2012 12:52 pm Warner Todd Huston

In this day of mounting threats to our freedoms it is time to reinvigorate our Bill of Rights and so Senator John Kyl (R, AZ) has introduced S. 3493, The Free Press Act. This bill aims to prevent nuisance lawsuits meant only to quash freedom of speech, to stop the intimidation of journalists, bloggers, and those testifying before government.
One would have hoped that such a bill would be unnecessary, but in our day of increasing attacks on freedom of speech perhaps the time has come to reaffirm and remind us …

Vet Detained On Psych Hold For Facebook Posts
21 Aug 2012 8:10 am William Teach

Big brother is watching
(Fox News) A former Marine involuntarily detained for psychiatric evaluation for posting strident anti-government messages on Facebook has received an outpouring of support from people who say authorities are trampling on his First Amendment rights.
Brandon J. Raub, 26, has been in custody since FBI, Secret Service agents and police in Virginia’s Chesterfield County questioned him Thursday evening about what they said were ominous posts talking about a coming revolution. In one message earlier this month according to authorities, Raub wrote: “Sharpen my axe; I’m here to sever …

Petula Dvorak: “How Dare Chick-fil-A, Papa John’s and In-N-Out Burger Offer Their Opinions”
14 Aug 2012 3:39 pm William Teach

Liberals love Free Speech as long as it conforms exactly to their own narrow, rigid dogma
(Washington Post) Since when does serving up junk food give someone a license to preach?
Since it’s a private business and they are covered by the 1st Amendment of the Bill Of Rights would be my guess.
Politics and all things fried, fatty and fast are becoming intertwined to the point of absurdity.
We’ve got the Papa John’s pizza guys weighing in on the health-care debate, while the burger slingers out west at In-N-Out can’t serve …

In Discussing Sikh Temple Shooting, NY Times Mischaracterizes DHS Extremist Report
7 Aug 2012 8:14 am William Teach

Who was Wade Page? He was a crazy neo-Nazi white supremacist. Why did he go shoot up the Sikh temple and the people there? We do not know yet. Good thing the NY Times is there to tell us this was about right wing extremism
Analysts for the F.B.I. and the Department of Homeland Security routinely monitor violent extremist Web sites of all kinds, including those attracting white supremacists, according to former officials of both agencies. But the department’s work on the topic has been criticized. In …

In God America Must Trust
4 Aug 2012 8:55 pm Michael Fell

Once upon a time, in what now seems like a far-distant land, a young President inspired America with the words: “Ask not, what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
Today, despite the fact that their country is rapidly approaching $16 trillion in debt, there are millions of Americans wondering when they are going to get “their fair share” of what their country “owes them”. Thanks to continued distortion and misrepresentation of the facts by those in whom they have misplaced their trust, these …
