Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I know I’ve mentioned before how much I like Colion Noir’s pro-Second Amendment videos. Let me just say it again: I really like his videos. What’s tragic is that Noir is being forced to defend himself against charges that he’s a brainless oaf who is being used by the NRA.
Continue readingFirst, from the NRA, a really solid video about women and guns: The point, of course, is that guns without people are simply inanimate objects. Second, an article about the use to which Palestinians put guns — training their children to kill Israelis. Guns aren’t the issue. Culture is.
Continue readingHere’s another one that appeared first at Mr. Conservative, but I wrote it and I agree with every word I wrote: With the failure of the Democrats’ gun grab legislation in the Senate, the President and the Vice President took the political blow like the sensitive, New Age, Progressive men
Continue readingI’ll just quote from the Washington Times story, and then you can tell me if this is unique in your experience — that a President hurls defamatory insults at a hugely popular private organization: President Obama angrily blamed the defeat Wednesday of his centerpiece gun-control proposal on lies spread by
Continue readingYou all know how much I dislike and disrespect Al Gore. With a recent attack against the NRA, he’s managed to drop even further in my estimation, something I didn’t think was possible. The following post (which I wrote) originally appeared at Mr. Conservative: ******************* Al Gore’s name has become
Continue readingKids like to say “you’re not the boss of me.” Well, this fantastic video reminds us that, when it comes to America’s top-heavy government, every citizen has the right — and quite possibly the duty — to say those words: Hat tip: Power Line
Continue readingI stopped going through my inbox when I got it down to 100 unread emails. It’s now scooted its way back up to 170 unread emails. So, I’m going to continue clearing the inbox and posting those things that are not only interesting but still relevant. Here’s a matched set
Continue readingI don’t know what kind of airplay NRA ads get. Since the clicker never touches my hand (others in the household are more wedded to it than I), I haven’t seen a commercial in a good twenty-years. I do hope, though, that this particular commercial gets some serious play. People
Continue readingBecause this is Marin and I am not a hermit, I frequently find myself in conversation with Democrats. It was to be expected, therefore, that conversation over the Christmas holiday would end up revolving around gun control. These conversations were disheartening on all sides. My friends concluded that I support
Continue readingWayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive VP, says that our violent culture is to blame for gun violence and that, as long as the culture is what it is, school children should have police protection. Despite the fact that the majority of Americans agree with him, the drive-by media is excoriating
Continue readingDespite being fairly decent at both sympathy and empathy, I truly cannot imagine what the survivors of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, are experiencing, and that’s true whether I think of the ones in the line of fire or the family and friends whose loved ones were at the
Continue readingI had a delightful reason for my blog silence today: I had a pistol safety and training class, followed by an instructor supervised hour at the shooting range. As you all know, on November 28, 2009 — exactly three years ago — I went to the shooting range with my
Continue readingWithin seconds of Romney’s announcement that Ryan would be his running mate, the chatter started. Democrats expressed delight, because they see Ryan’s stance on Medicare as one they can use to portray Romney and Ryan as Satan incarnate. A couple of years ago, they showed Ryan pushing grandma’s wheelchair off
Continue readingIf I recall correctly, the NRA was cautious in 2008 when it came to Barack Obama. It campaigned against him, but without vigor. That tentativeness is gone this year, as demonstrated by the official 2012 NRA campaign slogan: “All In.” To this end, the NRA has created a page called
Continue readingHere is a message from the NRA: Anti-gun hysteria has reached a fever pitch in the Golden State. The California Assembly is considering a bill (Assembly Bill 2062) this session that, if passed, will have dire consequences for California’s law-abiding gun owners. AB2062 is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday,
