The Wholesale Slaughter of America's Family Farms, by Jonathan David Morris

It's easy to forget sometimes, what with the roughly 8 billion wars and conflicts our country is involved in all around the world, that when the federal government means to do war, they do war best right here at home. Case in point: Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and her unbridl …

Internet Freedom: A Clarion Call, by L. Neil Smith

After many previous attempts on the part of different groups for a variety of reasons, the United States House of Representatives has passed a bill that could result in the destruction of freedom on the Internet. And the erasure of the First Amendment. I won't bother you with t …

This is scary!

This executive order reads like many an executive order before it. But this one goes so much farther than any I have read previously. It grants directors of agencies the right to totally control sales of fertilizers (or anything the contains potassium, nitrogen, or phosphorous),  …

Here is the face of the Victim Disarmament Movement.

This man, John Massaro, has been passing himself off as THE Constitutional authority on the 2nd Amendment. Sadly, he might have read portions of the Federalist Papers, but he never read ALL of them, nor did he read the history of the Constitution. The ten amendments that make up  …

Photo ID and You.

Today, I listened to several stories about our useless Attorney General and his ridiculous attacks on Texas and South Carolina over requiring photo ID to vote. Let me be the first to say that ANY government issued photo ID is a disgusting thing to contemplate. Tolerating them is …

U.S. News - 9 charged in connection with gang rape of 14-year-old girl at party in St. Paul, Minn.

It is beyond belief the comments of the defense "team".

The Promise and Problems of Mars, by L. Neil Smith

What a crock of @!$%#- they put the advertisement front and center, and left the opening statement buried. We'll see if making the opening longer than necessary helps!!  Read it and see what it says- that will open your eyes, or cause you to walk away- either is good.

@!$%#ed up proverbs for the Modern Man

A few twists on old sayings. If you have one, give it up in a post! Feel free to twist THESE, as well! Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set him on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life! Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, and he'll never …

A Sign of Weakness, by L. Neil Smith

Puts a different spin on the "Poor little co-ed, Sandra Fluke", doesn't it?

12-year-old sues school for searching her Facebook profile - msnNOW

Doesn't this foolish child realise that the state-sponsored prison officials calling themselves school administration don't give a damn what rights she may have under the Constitution.

U.S. News - When rumor, the Internet and school violence fears collide

In Canada, a girl drawing a picture of a gun results in the father being strip searched, and the house being searched as well. Here, a FaceBook posting of a rumor is probable cause for police to invade a home and search a boy's room, computer, and the rest of the house.

Thoughts On Some Current Events, by L. Neil Smith

Pay close attention to that poor schmoe from Ontario, and his treatment by the thought police, Canadian version. It's coming here, soon!

Musings on "sluts", contraception, and the "Gimme" mentality.

Let me start off with a simple fact- sexually active does not equal slut. Using contraception does not equal slut. Rush Limbaugh got it half right. He never said that using contraception equals being a slut. He DID call being sexually active equals being a slut.

Time to refresh the stories of Frank and George. "I used to hate gays, then I grew up. Stories of Frank and George"

Because of the ongoing debates over the supposedly civilization-ending horror of allowing human beings who aren't heterosexual the right to marry, I thought it was time to renew an oldie but goodie.

Separating Sheep From Goats, by L. Neil Smith

If only they will reply.....

From the Computer of Pat N

I did not follow the drama between Pat and Dennis. They are BOTH friends of mine, but I don't use trackers, I don't "Follow" or "Watch" people. So, regretfully, I wasn't there to possibly defuse the situation. Maybe it couldn't be done, I don't know.

Martial Law on Monday, by Michael Bradshaw

FINALLY someone (besides me) points out the fundamental fallacy of the existence of our federal government- that it is what the people really wanted. It isn't, and never has been THIS is why "Compromise" is a word most foul to those of us with principles.
