Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:43:33 -0500

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:53:00 -0500

President Barack Hussein Obama continues to demonstrate that he is more interested in not hurting the feelings of Muslims than protecting our soldiers. This means pretending that Maj. Nidal Hasan's execution of 12 Army soldiers and one civilian employee last week at Ft. Hood was something other than a Muslim' [...]

TheBellCurve: Can you hear me now?...

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:41:00 -0500

The current health care debate has generated a lot of discussion on just what constitutes a "right". I've always maintained that our rights cannot conflict with somebody else's rights. That is, if something you consider to be your right requires the initiation of force against another individual, it isn't [...]

The Sample Gates: Burn him!

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:24:10 -0500

Apparently, in a manner befitting a democratic society, the “Teabagger” groups have decided to burn effigies of Virginia Representative Tom Pereillo and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Because nothing says democracy and freedom like burning effigies suggesting to murder democratically elected public officials. In a small session he had with some [...]
