Armed and Safe says he is placed in the unprecedented position of defending Dick Cheney for opposing the Administration's stance on D.C. vs. Heller, and adding his signature to the Congressional brief which supports Heller in the D.C. gun ban. We agree. Mr. Cheney should be given rousing accolades for having the courage to follow his convictions in the face of a President who seems to have forgotten ALL of his!:

Sebastian observes that this is 1972 all over again, and he's right. Those of us old enough to remember George McGovern, the Democratic nominee in 1972, have seen at least part of the Osama-'Bama B.S. before. It is called SOCIALISM, which translates to ANTI-FREEDOM. The only thing different about McGovern is that he was not worshipped as a rock star/Messianic hero as is Obama:

The Volokh Conspiracy has a VERY interesting read on Cuba. It seems liberals are always judging the goodness of a government by 'how many people react to it fondly.' This argument is full of holes. With Communist indoctrination, many in Russia fondly remember Stalin, probably the most notorious mass murderer in the history of the world:
