    View from the Porch on February 28th, 2010
    Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being broadcast Sunday the ABC News program "This Week.""We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people."I think you meant "on", not "for", Mad...
  • What About the Children
    Cemetery's Gun Blob on February 28th, 2010
    “If you want to dress up and go out and make a little political theater by frightening children in the local Starbucks, if that’s what you want to spend your energy on, go right ahead,” said Peter Hamm, a spokesman for the Brady campaign You’re right Peter.  What about the children.  Surely any responsible Parent would ...

    Cemetery's Gun Blob on February 28th, 2010
    I mean who can take them seriously.  Fuzzy math, and outrageous statements.  Do they really believe what they right?  I can’t help myself anymore, when I read about people who use their stat’s, I just can’t stop chuckling.  If you believe what they say, there’s a guy in Brooklyn with a bridge to sell to you. From America...

    The Bluff on February 28th, 2010
    Dennis Hennigan doesn't seem to even accept where the laws are now.He says that even in the Heller case, the judges allowed "a very narrow right" and therefore significant restrictions on guns. Maybe so ... but this is about a handgun ban, which they absolutely overturned. And if that is overturned, then so are "safe" storage laws.And if we wi...

    John Lott on February 28th, 2010
    You would think that if Democrats really believed that this is what people wanted, they wouldn't be so worried about talking to their constituents.John Lawrence, chief of staff to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, told health care activists in a conference call Friday that Congress needed to act before the Easter recess, or they could see a repeat of the...

    “This fashionable buzz word “sensitivity” is beginning to gall. I do not see sensitivity as the necessary attribute of a considerable man. We may search through history for manifestations of sensitivity in the great without particular success. Pericles, Xenophon, Socrates, Caesar, and so on down through Washington, Napoleon, Roo...

  • Militarisme pacifique
    The Swiss Gun Blog on February 28th, 2010
    Il faut militariser la société. Non pas au sens étatiste, voire fachistoïde du terme, mais au sens civil et milicien. Il faut encourager les hommes et les femmes à apprendre à se servir d’armes, à en posséder. L’homme est un loup pour l’homme, c’est vrai. Mais l’homme est aussi un berger pour l’homme. Un...
  • Gun Control Works Well For Criminals
    Rifles, Pistols, and Jay on February 28th, 2010
    This story highlights the lunacy of people like the Brady Campaign and others who seek to remove firearms from citizens. When four people are pistol whipped you know that someone would have gotten the drop on the two scumbags. Instead four people are victims. A quote of Louis Awerbuck comes to mind: Survival is instinctual. It’s not a learned hab...

    The Bluff on February 28th, 2010
    I love this logic we're starting to see from the hard left, as in Speaker of the House Pelosi. Her reelection is fairly solid, so she wants to make sure her fellow house members vote for her agenda, even if it means going against their constituents and they get voted out.Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at the moment,...
