Judge tells atheist group to stop being whiny biddies

In some feel good news today a federal appeals court said this week that an atheist group trying to keep the Ground Zero Cross out of the National September 11 Memorial Museum must better explain how displaying the artifact is “offensive” and violates members’ constitutional rights. The cross measures 17 feet high and is a the remains of two I beams that survived the destruction to remain standing.  Those on the ground at the time and in the weeks following 9/11 took solace at the cross and it became an indelible symbol of resolution and hope for many. Apparently that doesn’t mean diddly squat to some atheists who got their panties in a bunch about the cross being in a museum dedicated to 9/11.  The group, American Atheists filed suit back in 2011 trying to have the cross removed because they claimed it was “offensive” and violated their “constitutional rights.”...

Here’s what Valor and Honor Look like

Cpl Kyle Carpenter only had a split second to make a choice.  He could either think only of himself and flee from a dangerous situation or literally jump headlong into danger in order to protect his fellow Marine. Cpl Carpenter chose the latter. On November 21st of 2010, Carpenter and his squad were securing Patrol Base Dakota against the Taliban in  the southern part of Afghanistan.  It was in this push to secure a stronger presence in the volatile region where he and fellow Marine, LCpl  Nicholas Eufrazio, found themselves on a rooftop in an overwatch position.  Around 10am insurgents pressed an attack and started throwing grenades, one of which landed in the middle of Carpenter and Eufrazio’s rooftop nest. It was in that split moment that Carpenter leapt into action and “distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of...

Lies, Damned Lies, and LIE-berals

For most of you I don’t need to tell you that liberals love to lie in order to get their way.  They lie with misleading statistics, they lie with overblown rhetoric, they lie with dogs and rise with fleas. If you listen to the gun hating liberals lie you would think that you could go to a gun show and buy a nuclear weapon, that there is such a thing as “assault” weapons, and that blood has been running in the streets since the invention of gun powder.  Fortunately their Nazi-esque “Big Lie” has been so soundly refuted by little things like reality and logic that it has trans-morphed into little more than mouth foaming background noise. But one of the most disingenuous lies that liberals like to spout off, and too often gets traction, is the lies against people they wish to destroy. There cause celebre of the moment are comments...

Is this treason?

At what point in the course of human events when it becomes necessary to dissolve the political bands and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, do we leave the notion of treason behind and embrace the liberty of revolution? Last week a man, Cliven Bundy made a stand.  He would not let the federal government illegally seize his property in a bid to have his livelihood and thereby his land stripped from him. In 1776 Thomas Jefferson wrote a little something that the preamble of this article artfully interspersed within itself, it was called the Declaration of Independence.  Now, most of us know WHAT this is…but do you know what is SAYS?  Not the catch phrases and buzzwords like “all men created equal” and “life liberty and the pursuit of happiness”...

Federal Shocktroopers Nearly Murder Family Who Dared Film Them As They Stole Their Cattle

Here is another example of the need for the 2nd Amendment. The case of Cliven Bundy and his stand against government oppression for the past 20 years may result in a trigger happy fed murdering him in cold blood. The gist of it comes down to the fact that in 1993, the government levied a tax on the land that Bundy’s family has used since the 1880’s in a roundabout attempt to drive him bankrupt and ensure that he could not pass his ranch on to his son. Now they are moving in armed troops to steal Bundy’s cattle. Just like bogus Eminent Domain cases that result in campaign kickbacks and immoral quid quo pro practices, the federal government is trying to disguise their crime by saying this action is to “protect” the desert tortoise. But the local politicians in Nevada aren’t buying it.  Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins...

Common Sense Gun Laws Being Attacked By Gun Controllers

In Georgia, gun controllers are once again proving that common sense gun laws to them only include ones that seek to stamp out the 2nd Amendment completely. The gun haters are currently foaming at the mouth at HB-60 that is currently awaiting Governor Deal’s signature to be enacted into law. HB-60 basically tosses in a whole helping of common sense but the gun control zealots are once again doing their prognostication of blood running in the streets. Here are the highlights of HB-60: It allows CHOICE of private business owners on who they allow into their establishments Removes bars from the off limits list and treats them like every other piece of private property in GA in that the property owner has the right to eject a person from their property. Allows church carry if the church agrees to allow guns in churches and establishes up to a $100...

Hey Connecticut, 1933 Berlin called, they want their Gestapo back

The powers that be in Connecticut have decided that little things like the Constitution and Rights have no place in the (ironically named) Constitution state. When you have the Connecticut State Police spokesman, Lt. Paul Vance declare that anyone who voices opinions contrary to support of the new gun control law “sounds anti-American” one cannot help but hear shades of the Gestapo looking to root out any perceived opposition to the dictatorship. Here is a quote from Lt. Vance during a phone conversation with a woman whose husband received a letter saying he must turn in or destroy his weapons because the authority didn’t get the paperwork in time: “Ma’am, it sounds like you’re anti-American, it sounds like you’re anti-law.” According to Vance, if you are not lock step in line with the government’s oppression then you are Anti-American. When the caller, Ashley, responds to this notion by saying...

Liberal hate aims to derail Heston Stamp

It’s a small thing really.  A famed legendary actor getting a US Postal stamp. Unless of course that famed actor actively fought for the 2nd Amendment. Charlton Heston was initially scheduled to have his likeness adorn a US Postage Stamp on April 11th, 2014.  Yet after the intelligentsia of the left got wind of this they have been making all kinds of racket.  As such, the powers that be somewhere along the line forced the Postal Service to issue a statement refuting the stamp being a done deal. Roy Betts, spokesmen for the USPS said: The document (stating Heston’s stamp release) was not meant for publication, nor have final decisions been made. While the document contained recommendations from the 15 members of the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, its selections are not final until other steps are taken, including legal reviews and consumer input. The BS meter on that one...

Veteran / Second Amendment Supporters Take Over Anti-Gun Rights Meeting!

Americans everywhere, Patriots who believe in the Constitution, are beginning to show signs of fighting for our inalienable Second Amendment rights. Here is a brilliant and inspiring example of We the People pushing back at the gun-grabbers. And though it took place in January 2013, the impact of the event is still being felt. Anne Sorock at Legal Insurrection writes: After enduring hours of derision and mockery by the panelists at a Chicago-area guns “forum” Sunday, one man in the audience stood up and addressed the crowd, identified himself as a veteran, and proceeded to give a straightforward but passionate defense of his support for the First and Second Amendments. The video is awesome! Veteran Kevin Tully had had enough. His fellow Patriots had had enough. Here is the more of the exchange:  http://theblacksphere.net/2014/02/veteransecond-amendment-supporters-take-over-anti-gun-rights-meeting/#gQJvO0Yw7p1dkV4j.99   Related articles [Watch] Veteran Shreds Smug Arrogant Libs in Gun Debate Video: Tax Tips for Veterans...

Morgan takes long walk off short Pier…thanks America

While not as historic or memorable as in 1776 or in 1812, American’s have decided to kick the British in the keister and send them packing.  Or rather in this case, ONE Brit who invaded the homes of a few people each night. Piers Morgan, ranting lunatic of the gun control movement, has had his show sacked by CNN.  But it wasn’t the big wigs at CNN who sounded the death knell for Morgan’s show but rather the viewers who tired of hearing a pompous Brit duff rail about American culture and especially our viewpoints of the 2nd Amendment. Plus, being a liar doesn’t help. Morgan:  “If you don’t change your gun laws to at least try to stop this relentless tidal wave of murderous carnage, then you don’t have to worry about deporting me… I would… seriously consider deporting myself.” I guess by being a wishy washy wanker about...

King Petty is right about Danica Patrick…and he ain’t taking it back

If there is anyone who has earned the right to express his opinion about the state of NASCAR it is Richard Petty. Arguably the greatest racer of all time, by and far the most winningest one with 200 victories, the King has earned his place in racing royalty. He has earned the right to tell the truth. And the truth is that Danica Patrick will probably never win a NASCAR race. To quote Petty directly when asked if Patrick would ever be in the winners circle: “Only if everyone else stayed home.” Now, what impressed me is not his ability to grasp the obvious, or even his courage to state it plainly, but while watching ESPN today he had the backbone to stick by his statement and not be cowed by all those who are up in arms about it. Petty would even go on to elaborate more on...

This Flag Dips To No Earthly King

America. We were a country with some balls back in the day. With the beginning of the Winter Olympics I am reminded of a pair of Americans back in 1908. Ralph Rose was the United States Flag Bearer for the 1908 Summer Olympic Games held in London, England.  In the opening ceremonies Rose walked by the royal box and refused to dip the Stars and Stripes to King-Emperor Edward VII. US Olympic Team Captain Martin Sheridan upon being questioned about Rose’s refusal simply said: “This flag dips to no earthly king.” America. You may be surprised that it wasn’t until Flag Day, June 14th, 1923 that there was any codified government guideline to the flag.  Hence, Rose and Sheridan were ahead of their time and both symbolized the patriotic and religious natures of Americans. Imagine if you will, what would happen if such a similar act of patriotism and...

Justice Scalia reaffirms the need for the 2nd Amendment: “In times of war, laws fall silent”

Discussing cases with students at the University of Hawaii’s Law School, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia found himself questioned with the High Court’s ruling back in 1944 that upheld the convictions of Gordon Hira­ba­ya­shi and Fred Kore­ma­tsu for failing to voluntarily give up their freedom and report to an internment camp without due process. Scalia’s response to the Court’s decision was this: “Well, of course, Kore­ma­tsu (court decision) was wrong. And I think we have repudiated in a later case. But you are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again.”  He then went on to quote Cicero by saying: ” inter arma silent leges” (translation: In times of War, laws fall silent) This tyrannical oppression of Americans of Japanese decent during World War II is not the only time that Justice Scalia has spoken on the dangers of usurping peoples rights under the auspices of national...

“Assault” Weapons a no-no for citizens but “Patrol Rifles” are a go for cops

I guess we are going to start the week off with some gun control hypocrisy…shocker. The Chicago Police department, you know them; the ones who have fought against citizen’s right to keep and bear arms by claiming there will be blood in the streets, all the while having a disarmed populace being able to do nothing about all the blood running in the streets; decided to get all knee deep in hypocrisy doo doo. Well, not only have the dug in their collective heels while innocent men, women and children are being slaughtered thanks to the success of gun control, but now they have added a dollop of hypocrisy to the bloody stew. In response to the following billboard placed in Chicago:   The Chicago police issued a statement saying: “military style weapons belong on the battlefield and not on the street.” I know that little quip is all...

Don’t Resolve, Revolt! What Are Your New Year’s REVOLUTIONS?

A couple of days ago I heard a child misspeak about New Year’s Resolutions by calling them New Year’s Revolutions. After a quick chuckle I got to thinking.  Resolutions are cliche and pointless.  They breed crowds at fitness centers and health food stores for the month of January before they are abandoned completely come February. New Year’s Resolutions are dependent on a people’s resolve and that is too often all but lacking when people are squared off against themselves. But with New Year’s Revolutions you are actively and consciously saying that in the upcoming year, “NO, I will not stand for it”; the “it” being whatever you are revolting against.  Want a real world example of how long calling something a “revolution” can go on for? Look to Cuba, the Castro’s have maintained power for over 5 decades by promoting the idea that the Cuban revolution is STILL going...

Cracker Barrel has boycotted Duck Dyna— uh…nevermind. Plus, Phil Robertson ain’t apologizing

Never discount the silent majority when they are moved to action by injustice. Cracker Barrel, looking to hop on the bandwagon and cash in with liberal fascists and their “woe is me, i’m a victim” campaign against anyone who might have a differing opinion than they do, has quickly come to its senses. It took less than a day for the righteous indignation over the railroading of Phil Robertson to make itself known to the shotcallers at Cracker Barrel (thanks to MILLIONS of people supporting Phil) as they almost immediately rescinded their boycott of all thing Duck Dynasty from their store. Hey Cracker Barrel, with the grand total of ZERO stores in NYC, LA, SF and Boston and the vast majority of your locations being south of the Mason Dixon line maybe placating people who don’t even go to your store while alienating and infuriated those who do wasn’t...

In America, freedom of speech is encouraged…so long as you agree with the liberal left

One of the most hypocritical aspects in America is the notion that liberals are some bastions for freedom, acceptance and tolerance. That’s horse manure. Liberals propagate this false notion that everyone should have a voice and everyone should be accepted for their views.  But in truth, liberals believe that everyone should have a voice and everyone should be accepted for their views so long as they speak in agreement and share the same views as liberals. The most recent example making headlines is that of Phil Robertson who dared speak his mind with regards to homosexuality. Tamara Jackson did a great story on the fallout that can be read here: A&E: Phil Robertson on hiatus after frank comments on homosexuality! Phil Robertson gave an interview in which he stated that he doesn’t believe that homosexuality is right and that he does not embrace it.  Yet he also said that he...

A&E: Phil Robertson on hiatus after frank comments on homosexuality!

Every time Phil Robertson shows up for an interview he makes news: in an industry built on glitz and glamor, Phil has no facade. Duck Commander’s interview with GQ has made more news, and landed the patriarch in Duck Dynasty time-out. Phil quite openly told GQ that he could not imagine men enjoying intimacy with other men. And yes, he was quite plain-spoken, as always. When asked about sin Phil responded: Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong… Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Of course GLAAD took immediate offense to Robertson’s statements and the organization’s Wilson Cruz noted: Phil and...
