There was a congressional hearing being carried live on all the news stations this morning. The Congress must be tackling some incredibly grave and important issue to warrant that kind of news coverage.
Subject of the hearing: Steroids in baseball.
As a country, we must be in pretty good shape if the Congress has nothing [...]
Putting up a “No Firearms Allowed” sign at the mall entrance doesn’t stop everyone from bringing guns inside — it only stops the law-abiding ones. Those law-abiding people are then left at the mercy of those who ignore the sign. This is so simple, so common-sense, yet the irony is that the left will use [...]

All I can say about Al Gore and the Peace Prize is this: The Nobel Peace Prize has Jumped the Shark. What does climate change hysteria even have to do with peace? The Nobel Peace Prize was on its way out when it was given to a Palestinian terrorist. Now, it has fully entered the [...]
Last month saw a significant drop in casualties in Iraq (reflecting a downward trend since the summer). Obviously, this is very good news. Yet, you wouldn’t know it by the mainstream media’s reporting. Of course, they’ll report any uptick in casualties on the front pages without hesitation. But the mainstream press is “unbiased”, right?

In April 1997, there was a “gas out” conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a [...]
An excellent op-ed from a student at Virginia Tech, which describes the frustrations gunowners have with “gun-free zones”:
Please realize that I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun in the commonwealth of Virginia, and do so on a regular basis. However, because I am a Virginia Tech student, I am prohibited from carrying at school [...]
I ran across this article today, which sums up the lies and selective memory of the left. Excerpts:
Yet even stipulating–which I do only for the sake of argument–that no weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq in the period leading up to the invasion, it defies all reason to think that Mr. Bush was lying [...]

This is yet another reason I cannot support the Democrats:
“The idea that we are going to win this war is an idea that unfortunately is just plain wrong.” — Howard Dean, DNC chairman
