Bill Whittle - spot on as usual.

#OccupyWallStreet: The Rap Sheet, So Far

#Occupy clearly is nothing like the Tea Party (who cleaned up after themselves ... and there were a lot less rapes ... like NONE).

Excellent response to #Occupy fools by Peter Schiff

One of the many differences between "us" and "them".

More truth about race and Republicans

I've posted information along these lines before, but since Herman Cain has weighed in on the issue as well I thought my readers would enjoy this one.

Brainwashed: Harsh but True
from the Fredrick Douglass Republican (mostly clips from his book).


For example:

“LBJ could not garner enough votes from within his own party (Democrat Party) to pass the bill. Of the 18 senators who opposed the 1965 Voting Rights Act, 17 were Democrats. In fact, 97 percent of Republicans senators voted for the Act.” --Page 11

Another example of anti human bias among environmentalists.

Why the gun is civilization.

This was originally posted on Marko Kloos' blog The Munchkin Wrangler back on March 23rd of 2007 ... I recently stumbled across it again and thought it would make a good post here.

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gangbanger, and a single gay guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat–it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed. People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser. People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level. The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weightlifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation…and that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

More leftist lies exposed

Bill Whittle does a great job of destroying several of the left's lies about Bush and the War on Terror.

Eat The Rich

The left would have you believe that America is NOT out of money, its just the mean ole rich people hoarding it and keeping it out of YOUR pocket that is the problem.

So lets look at the facts:

A New Dawn Rises

Don't look to others to take care of things. Get involved.

Yet another liberal lie.

With the goings on in Wisconsin we have seen union protesters carrying signs comparing Governor Scott Walker to Hitler, claiming that one of the first things Hitler did was do away with the trade unions. Followed by the disgraceful words of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown claiming that Republicans were just like Hitler in that they don't want unions.

Well its simply NOT TRUE.

Simply read Hitler's own words (from Mein Kampf, Vol II, Chapter 12):

In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trades unions. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions in the economic life of the nation. Not only are they important in the sphere of social policy but also, and even more so, in the national political sphere. For when the great masses of a nation see their vital needs satisfied through a just trade unionist movement the stamina of the whole nation in its struggle for existence will be enormously reinforced thereby.
Before everything else, the trades unions are necessary as building stones for the future economic parliament, which will be made up of chambers representing the various professions and occupations.

Harvard Law Prof Tells Senate that Congress Can Make You Buy Broccoli

Of course you know they'd end up banning the melted cheese.

Broccoli lovers, rejoice: According to Harvard Law Professor Charles Fried, Congress has the power to make everyone buy George H.W. Bush's least favorite vegetable—or, for that matter, just about anything else.

Of Capitalism, Socialism and Liberalism

Not long ago, Rasmussen Reports conducted a national telephone survey and asked “American adults” if they believe capitalism is “better” than socialism. I found it disturbing that only 53% responded that they did.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
