"Americans have been conditioned for decades to accept Washington's meddling in their lives. We have grown complacent, and we accept most new restrictions without batting an eye. As a result, Washington has gotten used to doing whatever it wants."
"With the appointment of Eric Holder as U.S. attorney general, we have the most anti-Second Amendment attorney…

Specter to switch parties to Democrat
I am 100% serious here. I voted for A REPUBLICAN, not for Specter as an individual or as a Democrat. If Specter switches parties, I demand that there be a lawsuit filed and argued all the way to the SCOTUS if necessary, to have Specter's status as an active member of the Senate removed.
There is no way it can be legal/Constitutional to…

A Commentary: "War is Hell"
This commentary is bound to be controversial. Have we forgotten the images of human beings throwing themselves from 100 stories high to avoid being burned alive as airplanes obliterated the World Trade Center Towers on the morning of September 11, 2001? People literally were flying from the broken windows of the buildings to avoid…

Critics are truly starting to notice Glenn Beck and doing their hardest to attack the message he puts out.
Expect plenty more of this as Beck's message gains traction.

I don't know if you have seen the story or not, but President Obama has reversed his decision on whether or not to prosecute Bush Administration lawyers for advising President Bush on the legalities of "torture." At the time of the advice as now, that I know of, there is still no definition of torture. The Genva Conventions states, "No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever. Prisoners…

Let's talk about the role for the Federal Reserve and it's ability to create money out of nothing. Let's not view them a entity which works to create monetary policy to protect the economy but more of counterfeiter who can pump out large sums of fake money. This fake money is then distributed to the folks at the top of the food chain. These folks can then take this new money which has increased the amount of purchasing power they have and spend it on capital goods they would otherwise no be…

Questions to ask yourself after viewing this video. These are questions and concepts you MUST address NOW, before you are ever thrust into a similar situation. These are all covered in the video. Even though this gentleman made a mistake at the door, he had the right mindset to survive.

- Who are you willing to protect?
- Do you count on a loved one (or Police) for your protection or do you participate…

I had prepared a written speech before the Tea Party, not knowing how much time would be allocated to each speaker, how receptive the audience would be, etc. Because my speech was near the end of the day, I didn't want to keep everyone longer, so I shortened it.
However, I had an interesting (I hope) thought experiment to make the point about Redistribution vs. Free Market. This was part of the speech I left out. I present it here, in case anyone is… Continue

This post shows a vivid example of what I mentioned in Vol. IV: If I were in this situation I would not put my gun down (as the 911 operator advises) until the Police are at my residence. There are too many accounts of people who have been shot, getting back up and continuing the attack.This can occur for many reasons but please understand that it CAN and DOES happen. Real life is not like the movies.
For folks who use the argument that you should just call 911 and… Continue
