Here, read it yourself.  I’ll only comment thusly:  if you make an imperial move, colluding with big corporate entities to reward their obeisance, that turns millions of erstwhile law-abiding Americans into instant felons by infringing on their natural and Constitutional rights —  by way of confiscation schemes, banning schemes, or onerous taxation schemes — do not act surprised or outraged when those felons, accepting their new lot, begin acting accordingly.

A few days old but worth your time, if you haven’t already come across it.  From the American Thinker: Conservatives have their Constitution.  Progressives have their Narrative.  The current battle for America is between these two concepts, and each side uses different rules to fight it. One set of rules is consistent with an unchanging objective: limited government and individual freedoms.  The other side’s rules are as fickle as their

“Nat Geo Producer: John Wilkes Booth ‘Could Be the Poster Child for the Tea Party’”: Executive Producer Erik Jendresen of National Geographic Channel’s upcoming television movie “Killing Lincoln,” said John Wilkes Booth “could be the poster child for the Tea Party.” “This is not the act of somebody who can easily be dismissed as a psychopath, so that it’s easy to understand,  ‘Oh well, he was crazy,’” Jendresen said of

It’s an inside joke, but long-time readers deserve it.  So here’t goes:  one mile high dirt berm, with an (unmentioned, but still plausible) outside chance of balloon fencing! You know, sometimes I think God is just bored, and he thinks an enjoyable way to pass the time is to reach down and give a few random titty twisters.

Hey, looks like even ill-informed lockstep liberals — and Maryland, my home state, is thick with them — can be awakened from their intellectual and political stupor from time to time: I took a ride up to Frederick, Maryland this weekend to meet a friend at the Fairgrounds for the gun show.  What we found was similar to what gun shows and gun dealers are experiencing across the nation: lines

I call it “the Viking”: essentially, it’s a premium vodka martini, moderately dirty, with a hunk of wine-marinated herring where the olives normally go. No other garnish is necessary. Unless you happen to have a helmet with horns. Incidentally, in certain sections of New York or San Francisco I fully expect some wag to replace the vodka with gin and call the revision either “the Little Dutch Boy” or “My

How on earth did you ever get to be 9-years-old.  Hell, this blog is older than you! At any rate — and knowing that one day when you’re old enough to Google your Dad and read all the decidedly nasty things people have written about him (along with the laudatory stuff, which may give you some comfort that you weren’t born of a complete monster), and as a matter of
