“Many gays don’t realize what a blessing it was to be reared in a traditional home.” [Darleen Click]

Robert Oscar Lopez: Growing up with two moms Quite simply, growing up with gay parents was very difficult, and not because of prejudice from neighbors. People in our community didn’t really know what was going on in the house. To most outside observers, I was a well-raised, high-achieving child, finishing high school with straight A’s. Inside, however, I was confused. When your home life is so drastically different from everyone

Shooting at Sikh Temple in Wisconsin [Darleen Click]

Still evolving situation – from CNN A shooting at Sikh temple in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek, Wisconsin, on Sunday, left at least three people wounded and one gunman killed by a police officer, authorities said. The officer was wounded but “returned fire, and that shooter was put down,” said Bradley Wentlandt, the police chief in nearby Greenfield, who briefed reporters. Wentlandt called it “an ongoing and very fluid

How will the US Army fight you?

Big brother is watching. And he’ll be damned if you upstart revolutionaries pull a “fuck you, King George” on him: A key and understudied aspect of full spectrum operations is how to conduct these operations within American borders. If we face a period of persistent global conflict as outlined in successive National Security Strategy documents, then Army officers are professionally obligated to consider the conduct of operations on U.S. soil.

Margin Call

Let me slip this clip up before the day’s posting.  If you haven’t seen this film, do so.  It is remarkable. Then extrapolate. #OccupyStealItBack?  No; this is not that.  Never once in history or in forecast has reform been stolen back from theft. But reform?  As necessary, and as difficult, as curing cancer. UPDATE: RUSH: You know, there’s a movie you ought to go see. I like this movie so

Collateral damage? Or just Jeebus people getting thin-skinned again? [Darleen Click]

This just in from Anne Sorock of a group of fabulous gay hipsters of pallor surrounding and harassing an old black man reading a Bible… … now that’s the stuff that will win hearts and minds! Lileks But then there’s the David Frum column on the story, which makes me want to sing an Edwin Starr song: Frum! (HUH! Good GAWD y’all) / What does he stand for? / Absolutely

The Four Big Bangs [Darleen Click]

Since we’ve been discussing “leaps of faith”, I thought this would be apropos to add to the mix. From former-atheist Frank Pastore:

So many myths, so little time [Darleen Click]

Reason on why American athletes wearing Chinese-made uniforms at the Olympics is a good thing “I’m so upset,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “Take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile, and burn them….We have people in the textile industry who are desperate for jobs.” Here, Reid demonstrates economic cluelessness. It seems logical that Americans lose if American clothing is made overseas. But that’s nonsense. First, it’s

Illiberal douche who harangued Chick-fil-A drive-thru gal made other videos, too.

Smith, formerly of Vante, scrubbed this video from his channel — this is a re-post by someone wanting to show that Smith lied to the Blaze about his other videos — and evidently in his own description of the video (since scrubbed), Smith made fun of the cross-carrier. None of which is why I posted this. It’s Smith’s narcissism and self-righteousness that needs airing. Repeatedly. Again, I’m not religious, but

“America’s First Drone-Assisted Arrest Upheld in Court”

Farmers stockpiling weapons on their own property?  That’s a bit suspicious.  Very “right-wing terrorist-y,” in fact — the second and fourth amendments notwithstanding.  Best call out the bomb squad, the SWAT team, and fly a drone over the farm.  Just so long as you don’t, you know — pause along the way to pick up a pack of illegals.  We needn’t engage in hate while doing our law enforcement jobs,

Rifle discussion, redux

Thanks to all of you for your input with respect to my choosing a rifle.  Lots of knowledge among the readers here.  I’ve heard from military snipers and special forces guys; from hunters and defensive-minded gun enthusiasts; from men and women; from Christer haters and caring pro-gay marriage goodly goodness folks. My main considerations were these:  I wanted a rifle that, if I could only own one, would be the
