As I promised earlier, I’ve got many, many more posters to share with you. Off we go:

Add your voice to an MSNBC poll about open carry

Posted on June 27, 2016 by Bookworm

Online polls are, of course, totally unscientific because they don’t measure numbers, just passion. That is, the people who care most about the issue are the ones who bother to show up for an online poll. As for me, I do love it when that passion favors my point of

Thoughts on ESPN’s “OJ : Made in America”

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Bookworm

Summer is a difficult time for blogging, because everyone is home all the time. Although I’m a sociable, extroverted person, I need at least a little solitude to think and write, and I’m not getting that. Time to blog has been in even shorter supply the past few nights because

[VIDEO] Trey Gowdy on the trashing of the Second Amendment

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Bookworm

I wish that Trey Gowdy could have made more headway on his various investigations, but there’s no doubt that he’s a superb cross-examiner. Clear, organized, and extraordinarily gifted at getting his point across — and in this case, his point is that the government has created a regime that deprives

[BOOK] Our Second Amendment Rights in Ten Essays

Posted on June 15, 2016 by Bookworm

With the President and every Democrat and Progressive in America loudly hollering that we need to do away with the Second Amendment, I thought it would be a good time to remind you of my book, which is short, cheap, and useful for the intellectual fight against those who want

The Jihadists’ Niemöller poem

Posted on June 14, 2016 by Bookworm

After World War II, Pastor Martin Niemöller penned his famous “First they came” poem, detailing the cowardice of the intelligentsia in the lead-up to WWII. It’s time for an updated version of that, one for the jihadists in our midst: First they came for the box cutters and utility blades,

After the Orlando shooting, Leftists again fail to read the handwriting on the wall

Posted on June 12, 2016June 12, 2016 by Bookworm

Belshazzar was a great king who sneered at the Bible, partied decadently, and failed to read the handwriting on the wall when he might still have saved himself and his people.* His story is the story of the American Left. For the entirely of the Obama presidency, the Left focuses

When it comes to Hillary Clinton and the Second Amendment, be very afraid

Posted on June 6, 2016 by Bookworm

Warning! Warning! Warning! Okay, two warnings really. The first warning is that Hillary is out to get your guns. The second warning is that I’m going to use this post to shill my collection of essays, Our Second Amendment Rights In Ten Essays. I consider the second item something of

[FREE BOOK] Our Second Amendment Rights in Ten Essays

Posted on May 24, 2016May 27, 2016 by Bookworm

[I’m keeping this pinned to the top through Thursday. Scroll down for new posts.] Hillary Clinton intends to destroy the Second Amendment. Just the other day, one of her spokespeople sent out this email: Clinton believes Heller was wrongly decided in that cities and states should have the power to craft

Why Trump is probably not a fascist

Posted on May 21, 2016 by Bookworm

I bow to no person when it comes to my concerns about Trump’s disregard for the Constitution. But is he a fascist? I doubt it. First, Congress probably won’t be his friend, so it will finally start guarding its power more jealously than it did with Obama. Second, what’s one

The Bookworm Beat 5/18/16 — the “Supremes” edition and open thread

Posted on May 18, 2016 by Bookworm

This is a good, long post. Mix a martini or make yourself some hot chocolate, find a quiet place, settle back, and read away! Trump woos conservatives. The big news today is Donald Trump’s list of proposed Supreme Court nominees, all of whom of are, in John Yoo’s words “outstanding

What I learned from John Lott, author of “More Guns Less Crime”

Posted on May 12, 2016May 13, 2016 by Bookworm

I attended a talk yesterday by Prof. John R. Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws. He spoke for almost an hour, but was so interesting that everyone attending the talk was surprised when he looked at his watch and announced that he seemed

The Bookworm Beat 3/25/16 — the Second Amendment illustrated edition

Posted on March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 by Bookworm

Again, my apologies for a quiet day. Between finalizing some matters relating to my Mom’s estate, relatives in from out-of-town, and just a touch of existential despair about the news, I either didn’t have time or heart to blog today. I do however have wonderful posters. This illustrated edition is

The Bookworm Beat 2/4/16 edition — “it’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world” edition and open thread

Posted on February 4, 2016 by Bookworm

It’s been some time since my last round-up so, without further ado: A primer for those who need to be reminded why Hillary should be incarcerated, not inaugurated. Deroy Murdock has a knack for political parables. Using the example of the “Foggy Bottom Department Store,” he makes it clear just how
