O’Reilly ‘Reasonable’ Gun Law Bluster Doesn’t Factor in Principled Defiance

“If you are paranoid and believe the government is stockpiling information so they can come to your house and take your guns, that’s your problem,” he sneers. “Your problem.” [More]
The pinhead's “reasonable” gun laws are to the left of what Barack Obama and Michael Bloomberg will admit to wanting.

It Never Rains, It Pours

Michael W. Dean has problems of his own, and some pretty severe ones from the looks of things. [More]

If you know who he is, then you know if you've received value from his work, and you know what to do.

If you don't, you can pretty much see my interactions with him here and here, and see my review of his book here. You could always buy or watch something you will get value from.  At the very least, what'll it cost you to spread the word?

No, this isn't turning into The War on Life's Setbacks. I just happen to believe that faithful allies deserve consideration, and the market for meaningful freedom -- the kind that comes with weighty responsibility -- appears to be in a bit of a slump compared to the market for vain, trivial and preponderantly destructive distractions.

Learning Their Lines

Among the stars who dutifully relayed the messages to their followers were Ashton Kutcher and Mark Ruffalo, who tweeted “@POTUS is taking steps to keep guns out of the wrong hands through background checks... [More]
You tell 'em, lottery-winning stage props!

Where's Skip Coolzip when you really need him?

No Chance

NRA's Wayne LaPierre Challenges Obama to Debate on Guns [More]
That's about as likely to happen as Wayne debating me.

What a Total Amnesty Con Job

Those proffering this deceptive Neocon establishment pathway to citizenship crap still haven't provided any verifiable data to show their little genius plan won't work overwhelmingly in favor of the Democrats. [More]

Yeah, if you want to lose both houses, the presidency and the federal courts within 20 years, listen to the cheap labor guys.

Ready. Aim. Manipulate.

The real thing is never scripted out with rules and caveats and disparities like this. [More]

Case in point-- attackers typically don't have 21 years of SWAT experience. Plenty have not had body armor to necessitate a head shot rule.  And let's see how average "Only Ones" would fare.

Just because you can get one scenario to trend in the way it's being steered doesn't mean all will go that way, and certainly does nothing to negate the fact that with a choice comes a chance.

But the average ignoramus just seeing this will be going "See? SEEEE...???" just like he -- or "reporter" Brett Shipp -- is now some kind of authority.

Vote Freedom First!

Because when Republicans control the Senate, they confirm nominees like AG Lynch... [More]

Thank 'em, one and all.

And don't forget those "A"-rated and endorsed committee members who made it all possible!

Anybody think we'll see a drop in grades? Should I start taking bets?

Just Following Joe Biden's Advice

[More]
Who needs Rule 4 when Obama's Gun Violence Prevention Task Force head tells the country blasting blindly is the smart and safe way to go?

'Teen' Hijinks

Oh, that madcap Archie and Jughead! [More]

Pretty safe space for their laugh-a-minute pranks, wouldn't you say?

I know "progressive" journalists (and there's an oxymoron for ya) are tiptoeing though  a politically correct minefield, so I'm wondering what they'll have to resort to calling them once "teen" is condemned as a racist code word...

God forbid (can I still say that without offending, or making anyone feel pressured or left out?) news vital to informed public safety interests contain descriptors. I say that because I just brought up "teen" in Google images...

I fail to see any resemblance.

Emblematic of the "You Didn't Earn That" Mindset

A federal appeals court has tossed out an Idaho veteran's conviction in a "stolen valor" case. The judges ruled that the First Amendment protects a person's right to wear a military medal even if that person did not earn it. [More]
Say, if a guy can wear a medal he didn't earn, how about a badge?  Why wouldn't impersonating an "Only One" be "protected speech"?

À La Mode

Paris-style terror attack in Jakarta... [More]
Yeah, pretty much...
