My thoughts on the Hoax

Friday, October 24th, 2008

That was a bonehead play. Getting a record for, likely, making a false police report, is not the way to help your candidate. Its a low ploy to try the “pretty girl in trouble” “sympathy card too.

Tell Your Kids to Go Outside and Play

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

On the L.A. Times.
All I can say is amen. If I had Prosperlings I’d kick them outside pronto. Its good for them, good for you and your misses and because it teaches independence, is good for your country.

Why my own Government Scares me more than the Terrorists

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Despite what 24 and the “colored coded” wannabe fascist wants us to think, the terrorists are much of threat . First they are very far away . Second and more importantly they just aren’t all that effective.

Gun for Felons? Why Not?

Friday, July 25th, 2008

On the A.P. I doubt this case will be resolved in the mans favor as the Supreme Court is rather statist however. In my opinion it should be.
I know its not a popular idea but if a person has done their time (or probation) it is wrong to take away a fundamental right, […]

Todays not unexpected FISA vote to sell out our countries core values leaves me, well… I’ll let the Populist Party and Cliff Carson speak for me.
The worst part is its out fault for electing these people. If we use the electoral system, which still kinda, sorta works vote all the bozos out and insist […]
