If James Madison Wrote The Bill Of Rights Like Liberals Would (video)

James Madison, one of the founding fathers of this great nation of ours is also known colloquially as the “Father of the Bill of Rights.”  You know the Bill of Rights i’m talking about…the one with that pesky little 2nd Amendment that drives gun controllers crazy. The 2nd Amendment that Madison stated in the Federalist papers #46 ensures that “the ultimate authority resides in the people alone.”  Also from #46, his belief that “Americans have the right and advantage to being armed,” the advantage being over the Europeans who exist in a state of servitude. The same Madison who, on June 8th, 1789 stood before Congress and declared “The right of the people to keep and bear…arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.” Before the gun controllers...

0 for 29 Women Have Passed Marine Officer Infantry Training; Why That’s A Good Thing

Two more female officers dropped out of the Marines Infantry Officer Course after day one, taking the total of females who attempted and subsequently failed at 29 total.  I think this is great. Now, some of you may think that I am against women serving in combat roles.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I think if there are women who are capable and are willing to put their lives on the line in order to defend this country, more power to them. What I am AGAINST is the endangering of Marines and Soldiers due to political correctness that would have the standards lowered just so some feminazi can put a feather in her cap and crow about how women can do everything a man can. By and large though, that is just not the truth.  Men and women are created differently with different strengths and weaknesses.  Are...

Animal Kingdom Strikes Down Drones for Privacy (Video)

As police and government authorities are ramping up  their privacy invading abilities by using drones to conduct warrantless searches in clear violation of the 4th Amendment, or to just flat out SPY on people for no better reason to do so than they can, the spectre of Orwell’s “1984” looms ever larger. Of course, society is partly to blame, not only in the allowing of the death of privacy but also in its facilitation.  How many millions of people willingly divulge the intimacies of their lives on facebook, twitter, intstagram and the like? The idea of personal privacy as an inherent right and something to be valued is being eroded and is being equated to having “something to hide” or “untrustworthy” or that somehow not wanting your life readily available for public consumption makes you some kind of anachronism. Well, there’s at least one critter out there who isn’t...

Push Your Rep To Elect Allen West as Speaker of the House

Funny thing about the Speaker of the House job that I find many Americans are unaware of.  You don’t actually have to be a member of Congress in order to be elected as Speaker of the House.  So he or she can basically be anyone…who will then be behind the Vice President in line of succession tot he Presidency. Other than that, what the primary job of the Speaker is to get things DONE. Unfortunately, for the past four year we have had the crybaby John Boehner as the Speaker of the house.  In the following joint letter that I endorsed with gun right activist Dana Loesch, conserviative pundit Michele Malkin, fellow Liberty Alliance Members Joe Wurzelbacher, Kevin Jackson, Steve Deace et al the reasons to be against John Boehner maintaining his post as Speaker are clear: “On January 6th, the House of Representatives will hold its first vote of...

New Year, New Laws, Same Absurdity

Welcome to the year 2015.  Along with the big party  and the personal resolutions there is yet another tradition that comes with the dawn of a new year.  January is often the time when laws from the previous year are enacted.  This year is no different. With the Federal Government this is the year where citizens will be forced to pay a fine if they do not yield to the governments dominion over their lives and purchase Obamacare. But of course that is not all, there are 3,541 new rules and regulations that rang in their first new year along with us in a register 78,978 pages long.    While among those 3,541 new rules and regulations there are plenty of personal infringements and undermining of small businesses, I want to focus on the new laws passed on the STATE level that are just awful.  So bad I question whether...

Top Ten Gun Control Zealots Of 2014

As we look back on the year that was, 2nd Amendment supporters can see some good, some bad and some ugly.  The good being the movements expanding carry laws, the pick up of constitutional carry states, the defeat of Federal legislation to limit our rights. Then we have the bad.  The passage of Washington State’s I-594, the continued existence of NY’s Safe Act, the failure to remove Hickenlooper from the Governorship of Colorado. Of course we have the ugly.  Ghouls like Michael Bloomberg, Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety; with their hate speech, calls for violence against gun owners and over the top vitriol these individuals are truly ugly on the inside. With the year in review, who were the worst of the worst villains who sought to deny the rights of free people and were willing to shred the Bill of Rights in order to trample...

Gun Sales ROAR as Black Friday Whimpers

After the initial reports, it seems that Black Friday sales fell below the level they were last year.  That is true for pretty much everything across the board.  Everything EXCEPT firearms. The irony is pretty amusing if you think about it.  You see, when an economy is sluggish, people have lost faith in the government, and hope for the future is bleak, people do not go out and melt their credit cards on Black Friday.  This is an indictment against the peoples faith in President Obama. How amusing it is then that the ONE sector that saw an overwhelming increase in growth was the one thing that Obama has hated and sought to undermine since the day he took office; GUNS. From Liberty Unyielding: The staggering number of checks — an average of almost three per second, nearly three times the daily average — falls on the shoulders of...

NH Dem Shows True Colors, Vows To Infringe EVERY Right To Thwart Libertarians

In case you are unfamiliar with the Free State Project, it is a socio-political experiment conceived back in 2001 in which Libertarians would pledge to move to a state en masse in order to establish a Libertarian run state government, an example of true Constitutional governance.  The state eventually chosen was New Hampshire and the number of people required being 20,000. After 13 years, as of October, the number is at 16,174 pledged with another 1,654 “early movers” who took the initiative and moved before the 20K pledges were hit.  In other words 17,828 people have all ready committed.  Organizers of the FSP believe that they will hit their objective and begin the mass migration to the New Hampshire before the 2016 election. While I love seeing this finally coming to fruition and am really looking forward to what New Hampshire can become, not all from the Granite State...

Blue Christmas: UN Arms Trade Treaty Goes Into Effect Dec. 24th

The United Nations Office of Disarmament Affairs has announced that on Dec. 24th 2014 the UN Arms Trade Treaty will begin it’s enforcement.  To refresh your memory on what the UN Arms Trade Treaty actually does: “The treaty includes export/import controls that would require officials in an importing country to collect information on the ‘end user’ of a firearm, keep the information for 20 years, and provide the information to the country from which the gun was exported. In other words, if you bought a Beretta shotgun, you would be an ‘end user’ and the U.S. government would have to keep a record of you and notify the Italian government about your purchase. That is gun registration. If the U.S. refuses to implement this data collection on law-abiding American gun owners, other nations might be required to ban the export of firearms to the U.S.” So what will that mean for the United States...

Here’s Some Advice, STOP Moving Into Houses Run By HOA’s

Homeowners Associations may have started out with the best of intentions but have morphed into a ego driven, group think run, oligarchy of nosy nimwits who seem to, more often than not, hate America. As I had written earlier in the month, such a group in Indiana had fired a groundskeeper for having a gun at his OWN home. But this is not an isolated incident but rather a reflection of HOA’s and private communities who are run by people who think they can have their own fiefdom. Once again in Indiana, this time Fieldstone Homeowners Association has told Korean War Veteran, Bob Willits, that he cannot fly his American and POW/MIA flags in his OWN FRONT YARD. The HOA claims that it isn’t against the flag but that it is on a flag pole. Basically they are saying that they don’t have a problem with the flag being displayed…they...

Another Reason to keep and bear arms: Feral Hogs

As anyone with a real understanding about the 2nd Amendment knows, it has nothing to do with hunting and everything to do with the defense of liberty against freedom.  The defense of our lives against danger.  The defense of our land against aggression. Yet, oddly enough, it seems the time has arrived when the true reason for the 2nd Amendment and hunting meet for a common purpose.  Namely, wild hogs. Now, a lot of people in the North East and the Mountain West may not realize wild hogs are a problem but unless the swine invasion is stopped, they will soon realize just how big a problem it is firsthand. Over the past 3 decades, the feral hog population in America has exploded to the tune of about 5 million hogs in 39 states. Hogs were first brought to these shores in the 1600’s and were allowed to roam...

Are Blue States Going Red For Guns this Election?

There comes a point when even liberal states say “enough is enough.”  In under a month there are 4 gubernatorial elections from 3 downright midnight blue states and one purple that will see just how much tyranny the residents are willing to endure in the name of progressive statist idealism. The states that I am referring to are New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Colorado.  What do these states all have in common?  Gun control. In the past 2 years these four states have passed liberty crippling measures that gut the free citizens 2nd Amendment rights while doing nothing to actually reduce crime or the threat of mass shootings. It seems that come November, the three incumbents who enacted such draconian gun control (and the supporter in Mass running for the open seat), will finally face the fire for doing so. In these traditionally deepest of blue states only in...

Obama Bans the Importation of Guns but NOT the Importation of Ebola

Once again the Obama administration proves just how much they hate guns, not in the direct attack of the 2nd Amendment but rather in the manner it handles itself when actual threats toward this country present themselves. In Executive Order 13661, the Treasury Department was authorized to sanction the Russian Gun Maker Kalashnikov Concern and block the importation of further weapons.  The firearms that are now blocked from being imported include Saiga rifles and shotguns, most notably their AK line. Obama continues to block the re-importation of 600,000  M1 Carbines as well as 80,000 Garands that are both historical and collectible as they were the surplus of the firearms used by US troops and South Koreans during the Korean Conflict from 1950-1953.  But as Obama has proven in recent times he has little interest in bringing home those who have served the US military. So Obama continues to block...

Ghost Guns: Because Freedom Will Find a Way

With the advent of the affordable 3D printer and the PC connected milling machine, I recall the movie Jurassic Park.  In that movie Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, made an observation when Jurassic Park’s Creator, John Hammond, was explaining the measures they put in place to control the dinosaurs.  In particular, by making all the animals female they removed the ability for reproduction that wasn’t monitored and registered by the facility. To which Malcolm responded with: John, the kind of control you’re attempting simply is… it’s not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it’s that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh… well, there it is. In response one of the technicians quipped: “You’re implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will…...

Obama Administration Attempting To Murder the S’More

Most people who enjoy the outdoors have at one time or another found themselves around a campfire, toasting a marshmallow, ready to put that gooey orb of goodness upon a graham cracker and broken chocolate bar to create the American classic, a S’More. But like most of the goodness in America, the Obama adminstration has once again taken measures to try and subvert and destroy what is good and replace it with what is acceptable to them. Health Care, International Affairs, the notion that America should have a border etc. have all been turned upside down and broken by this current administration.  But the depravity of murdering the S’More is appalling. No doubt being pressured by his “eat kale while I eat cake” plus sized wife, Obama has directed the US Forest Service to begin a campaign to bamboozle Americans changing the American campfire treat into something completely unrecognizable....

First they come for our guns…then our bacon

This country’s government was formed with the notion that the minority must be protected.  How then have we devolved so much that when a single crybaby gets their  panties in a bunch rights begin getting stripped from everyone else? What has me so worked up?  Oddly enough it isn’t the gun grabbing zealots this time that try to deny a fundamental right because THEY don’t like it. No, this time it is someone who took that same mentality and forced a local restaurant to remove a sign it was allowed to place in a median because that restaurant PAID a donation for its upkeep. The Sneakers Bistro got its pick of a sign to stake into a prime traffic median along Winooski’s Main Street after dolling up the bed with annual flowers for the city of Winooski’s “Operation Bloom” volunteer program. What was so offensive about Sneakers Bistro’s sign?...

It’s getting bad when people are wishing Obama acted more like Nixon

While Nixon was a flawed man, haunted by notions of people out to “get him” I don’t think he was anything more nefarious than most politicians.  He had two big hurdles that he couldn’t get over though.  First, he got caught in a coverup and secondly, and more damning is that he was a Republican. The liberal media loves to crucify Republicans when they do something that politicians on both sides of the isles do. Case in point, Nixon’s downfall came because he spied on his competition and then covered it up. Obama spies on EVERYONE, has the IRS attack and attempt to destroy his critics, his cover-ups extend beyond that to include trying to whitewash debacles like Benghazi, Fast and Furious and the deaths of American border agents under the table. If Nixon had done any of these things the liberal press would have called for him to...

Surprise, Anti-Gun Banks Rate Worst in Nation

Bank of America…Wells Fargo…JP Morgan Chase…Citibank. What do these four banks have in common?  Besides being “too big to fail” they also are too arrogant to actually give a damn about their customers. According  to MagnifyMoney, which analyzed complaints made to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),these banks are the top offenders in…well…offending their clientele.  From predatory lending to misleading fine print and outright theft due to improper foreclosures, these banks have time and again gulled, cullied and diddled the American people out of billions of dollars. Yet, not only do these four banks rate as the most complained about financial institutions in the country but they also all have policies in place to punish, deny and/or harrass American’s who DARE to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.  I don’t mean that these banks simply hide under the naive cloak of gun free zones in their establishments.  No, these banks have...
