From an email I received today, original author unknown. But so very, very, very true. BAIL’EM OUT!!! ???? Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it.. They failed and it closed. Now, we are trusting the economy of [...]

tell your congress critter to vote no on ANY health care bill that socializes our health care. Look at how “well” socialized care works in Canada…. they come down here and out of pocket their health care expenses, because they don’t want to wait a year for an MRI. If we go to a fail [...]

Yesterday the Supreme Court agreed to hear the Appeal by Washington D.C, to try and overturn the decision ruling their unconstitutional gun ban was, well unconstitutional (Parker vs D.C was the orignal case, being heard by SCOTUS as D.C, vs Heller). This is a good thing, as it should finalize once and for all that [...]

A Sheriff that gets it

Dan — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 16:54:35 +0000

The Larimer County (Colorado) Sheriff gets it.. he understands that “Gun Free Zones” are equal to “Gauranteed Victim Zones”..nothing like providing crazy folk with designated, unprotected areas to use to kill people… He (and rightly so) is calling for more campuses to allow students who are licensed to carry their weapon, to do so.

Quotes

Let's compare a couple of quotes: "Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA — ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State." -Heinrich Himmler and "Banning guns addresses a fundamental right of Americans to feel safe."...

So…yesterday all the illegal immigrants (or at least, a good portion of them) decided to skip work, school, etc.. to show us how badly we need them and how everything would come to a complete and utter stop without them… I noticed exactly NO impact..

By now, I’m sure y’all have heard about all the illegal (and I suppose some legal) immigrants who are planning on not going to work on monday in an attempt to fight immigration reform. Personally, I think its mighty damn nice of them to group themselves in one (ok several, since they’re doing it across [...]

Energy Bill

So, in case you missed it. Today Bush signed the latest and greatest (and I use the term greatest very, very loosely) Energy bill into law. One of the bigger items in this law, is that Daylight Savings Time is now, no longer when its been for like the last 20 years (assuming you don’t [...]
