” ‘Is this still America?’ he asked him. ” But that is not the proper question

May 19, 2013

Grokster Scott had that quote from Congressman Kevin Brady at the IRS hearings: “Texas Republican congressman Kevin Brady had the harshest criticism for Miller. ‘Is this still America?’ he asked him. I put up the video of Congressman Mike Kelly voicing a similar tone, albeit different words: …I am more concerned today than I was [ Read more ]

Notable Quote – Common Core

May 3, 2013

Common Core is just the secular-humanist-educational equivalent of Shari’a Law, implemented by controlling, secular-humanist, anti-religious socialist, personal-choice-bigots who insist we spend billions more every year because every child learns differently but then can’t seem to see the hypocrisy of wanting every state, county, and School district across the fruited plain to follow a one-size-fits-all nation-wide curriculum, implemented by statist fatwa, advanced through an organized campaign based on guilt and intimidation, [ Read more ]

Government: wanna a dog? Criminal background check and dog class for YOU!

April 25, 2013

Best comment over at the News Observer: When are we going to close the dog show loophole?  Yeah, that pretty much sums it up as yet another politician has decided that “he’s gotta do something” and ends up with a law that says “Subject Citizen, you must again ask for permission to do that”!

Yo, Mr. VP? How about spitting in their eye? Really, who CARES what they think?

Still think the Second Amendment DOESN’T exist to protect us from Tyrannical Government?

April 8, 2013

On a Firefox tab somewhere, I have a couple of posts I wish to comment on this very topic (just can’t seem to find them today) – that America can turn into a Tyrannical Government (especially if Progressives succeed in doing away with the Constitution – the ONLY bulwark we citizens have against an overreaching [ Read more ]

Freedom depends on who gets to choose and make the decisions

March 3, 2013

The abridged definition of “Freedom” is how many choices one can make, unforced and unfettered.  I get to make the choice – not you and not Government.  When you and Government starting making those decisions for me, that by definition, is less Freedom. The Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, was [ Read more ]

Notable Quote: Lord Acton on Rights of Man and America

February 17, 2013

Europe seemed incapable of becoming the home of free States.
