Weep for the Republic

...Miley Cyrus... [More]

As told by one of the great and relevant critical thinkers of our time.

It may just be too late.

We're the Only Ones Stung Enough

A four-month undercover cocaine investigation by the state police and the FBI led to the arrests of three Providence police officers Thursday, including one who was a school resource officer, another who worked with a federal agency investigating narcotics and one who once served as a driver for the capital city’s mayor. [More]

You know, a mayor against (your) guns.

He's one of the wretched subversive leftists who joined Thug Daley to keep Chi-Town "gun free." Say do you think that must be why the coalition says they're only against illegal guns...?

Much better to leave those nasty things to Cicilline's virtuous Providence "Only Ones."

We're the Only "Ones for the Road!" Enough

New York City cops caught driving drunk may have problems to worry about - but losing their job usually isn't one of them. [More]

Not that you could lift a finger if they were endangering you and yours...that is if you don't want to put your life on the line...

We're the Only Ones Beating the Competition Enough

Based on a complaint from someone the State Police refuse to identify, three teams of officers converged last Thursday on the three bars...[More]

Well, I certainly feel like my blessings of liberty are more secure now...and that's the whole purpose, isn't it?

Be great to find out who the rat is and publicize it...any bets it's a connected business rival?

GRE Round Up for Mar. 8

There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.

A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."

These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.

Here are their latest offerings:

Howard Nemerov/Austin:

Violence Policy Center: Dancing on victim’s grave…again?

Paul Valone/Charlotte:

Kindergartner suspended for making mock gun with hand

Daniel White/Cleveland:

Cities must follow gun laws even if they don't like them

Liston Matthews/Knoxville:

More Knoxvillians going forth armed

John Longenecker/Los Angeles:

Safer Streets 2010: You won't get safer streets with Hate, Part III.

Dave Workman/Seattle:

The intellectual vacuum of 'temporary' tax hikes and anti-gun politics

Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:

Administration's mixed message on guns and medical marijuana sows confusion

Violent drug gangs on public land--still think self-defense not needed in national parks?

Go. Read. And please share the links.

You're doing that, right?

The Wall

We don't need no education... [Read]

I mean, everybody knows kids are much safer when we keep them ignorant...

Told You So!

"I told them this was going to happen," Smith said after learning of the Portage shooting. "It's not a good law to allow people to bring guns that close to work. If you have a chance to go home, you might cool off." [More]

Wow, ol' ex-pen pal Vern must be clairvoyant, seeing as how the bill he's citing as cause for this hasn't even been signed into law by the governor yet.

Still, I do note the violent nutcase is a government worker.

Maybe if he wants to discuss George Mason's contention that the militia consists of "the whole people, except for a few public officials," we can have a conversation...

Is A Puzzlement

Why anyone would need a gun in a national park, where rangers themselves are unarmed, is a puzzle...[More]

It's not a very hard one to solve, though. Assuming you're intellectually honest and not inclined to present your arguments using "Yogi Bear" cartoon ridicule as your starting point.

Stop Trying to Make It Our Fault

The parents of an Essex teen who fatally shot himself last spring have brought their campaign to restrict child access to guns to the Statehouse. [More]

Yeah, and you know what else we need?

Bridge control.

I'm sorry, but when they try to take their grief out on the rest of us, particularly to make us pay for wrong choices that even they could not control with years of direct and daily influence, my sympathy level declines dramatically.

Not Gonna Drop It

Sorry, Starbucks: You Are in This Debate [More]

Paul Helmke recommends that if at first you don't succeed, whine, whine again.

The gun extremist want an America where there are guns everywhere: not just in coffeehouses, but also in bars, churches, parks, banks and classrooms.

Yeah--can you imagine how horrible it would have been if Karolina Obrycka, Jeanne Assam, Nabil Fawzi and Michael Minto had been armed?

Damned gun extremists.

Some of us have advocated dropping the Starbucks issue. Pagina et al. are intent on not letting that happen.

OK, if we can't avoid a fight, then let's disarm the assailant. Their biggest weapon is their dumb ass petition, up now to an astonishingly pathetic 28,000 online signups that can't be verified against real people?

Fine--continue to erode whatever credibility they represent it to have. Just like with IANSA's stupid Million Moon March, I recommend tainting the results.

And thing is--this is the second time I've signed it--so they're evidently not excluding multiple entries. I wonder if that's what some of their staff does all day?

We're the Only Ones "A Woman Scorned" Enough

She offered to have sex in toilet and fake evidence [More]

Gee, who could say no to a class act like that?

It hardly sounds like she needs to see a fatal car accident to "f*** up her head," does it?

Is Armed Self Defense 'Unwise' and 'Wrong'?

Allow me to share just a few of the news accounts greeting me in my inbox this morning involving some folks the bleaters at the Norwich Bulletin would have us believe acted wrongly and unwisely... [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column provides a few real world examples that suggest maybe--just maybe--the sheep aren't as wise as they would have us believe.

Also get an update on a tour that's happening this week.

This Day in History: March 8

On March 8, 1778 Sir Henry Clinton was put in charge of British troops in the United States. In the same letter, the council of war outlined a "Southern Strategy." [More]
