Here’s what Obama wants for you
The Liberty Zone on October 14th, 2008
You've seen me rail against nationalized health care before, and there's a good reason. There's hardly anything the government can do that can't be done better and more efficiently through a free market. Britain's NHS is a fiasco, sucking up billions each year, and the service......well it still sucks.It sucks so badly, that the governm... -
Oboma & Acorn

Learn About Guns on October 14th, 2008
The Sun Times recently carried one of the more depressing editorials that I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading, written by Mary Mitchell. In that article, she applauds the cement barricades, random searches, and other unconstitutional police actions that are being done on the public roads near Obama’s Chicago residence, in the name... -

John Lott on October 14th, 2008
It would mean a lot to me if the readers of my blog would visit Amazon.com and "tag" my book Freedomnomics as being for the "economics" category. The link is here. This doesn't even say that you like the book, but that it fits in this category.For those who have been nice enough to read the book, I would greatly appreciate even a couple or a few ... -
WSJ on “Obama’s 95% Illusion”
John Lott on October 14th, 2008
Much of this is similar to a piece that I had back in August, but their piece is still well worth reading.For the Obama Democrats, a tax cut is no longer letting you keep more of what you earn. In their lexicon, a tax cut includes tens of billions of dollars in government handouts that are disguised by the phrase "tax credit." Mr. Obama is proposin... -

Sensibly Progressive on October 14th, 2008
I used the term "Radical" in quotes because really the term refers to most of the people who call themselves "environmentalists;" a group composed of intelligent leaders who push for extreme no-compromise measures regardless who they hurt, and a lot of slack-jawed suburbanites who automatically nod in agreement whether it’s in their best interest... -

Mr. Howley’s editorial is titled, “Guns shouldn’t be the only issue for sportsmen”. It puts forth a position that the Presidential election should be about more than guns for Ohio sportsmen.

Buckeye Firearms Assoc. on October 14th, 2008
The candidate says he supports the right to bear arms. The record says otherwise. By John R. Lott Jr. Barack Obama claims he is a friend of gun owners. He certainly has convinced the media. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Times said the NRA's opposition to Obama seemed strange because "Obama does not oppose gun rights. He has made a point of pounding ... -

A Lebanon County, PA woman gets her permit back. This story provides an example of why using temporary revocations as an example of problems with permit holders isn't very useful.

Pulling The Wool Over Your Eyes
Snowflakes in Hell on October 14th, 2008
The AFL-CIO is doing a massive direct mailing to members to help cover up Obama’s atriocious record on gun control. They cite Obama’s endorsement by AHSA as proof that he supports our second amendment rights. One wonders whether they’ll tell their members about Obama’s endorsement by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Own... -

Barack Obama - Shameless Socialist
Sharp as a Marble on October 14th, 2008

It seems that sales prices these days are, for the most part, higher than than the MSRP of just a couple of years ago. For ammo, the sales prices are higher than MSRP of just a couple of months ago.

Home on the Range on October 14th, 2008
It was once said in an age-old axiom, that an object cannot occupy two positions at the same time. Yet now, with todays technology, it may be argued that it is just possible to do that. The number of places science can go is far greater than I ever believed, even growing up reading Clarke and Asimov at every turn. Most physicists today trying to un... -

And it wasn’t because he was armed with a peperoni. He had a bang device and used it.
