Squeaks has some good news to share.  Good for her!

12 Benefits Americans Gain by Repeal of ObamaCare

Some misguided persons claim Americans will lose benefits if ObamaCare is repealed.

Such a notion is flat out false, as I describe in my latest today at Conservative Examiner.


In fact, Americans will GAIN at least 12 benefits through the repeal of ObamaCare.

BREAKING...MAN WHO ISSUED DEATH THREAT TO TUCSON TEA PARTY HAS QUESTIONABLE BACKGROUND

Information has come to our attention on one 'James Eric Fuller,' who issued a death threat at the Tucson Tea Party meeting this past Saturday.

All guns and politics, from the best gun-rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

Around O-Town presents a special 'tribute' to that beloved protector of individual freedom...ahem...Rep.

Kurt Hofmann says that a prominent columnist wrote that 'violent talk' protects gun rights.  Take a look.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 1/12/2011

All guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

David Codrea declares that the current attempts to restrict liberty in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings will only galvanize gun owners.  Indeed, handgun purchases shot up by over 60% immediately after the massacre, indicating that Americans are even more determined to protect themselves against criminals and nutcases.

Alphecca comments on the Westboro cult and its plans for the funeral of the 9-yr-old girl who was killed Saturday.  These people are nuts.  And let's get one thing straight, this is no 'church' and they are most assuredly not 'Baptist.'  I take offense to their use of those terms when it is clear this is nothing more than a hate-cult.

Way Up North weighs in on the ongoing discussion concerning the 1911 pistol.

Nicki points out that the infamous anti-gun Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, D-NY, is up to her familiar antics again in light of the Tucson massacre.  All it takes for the Leftwing nutcases to go berserk is for something like the Arizona shooting to occur.

New information is emerging today indicating that Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, Arizona, knew full well of the danger posed by Jared Lee Loughner.  But he did basically nothing to protect Giffords and Judge Roll.

A current Pennsylvania Congressman, a DEMOCRAT, even said that newly elected Florida Governor Rick Scott should be 'lined up against a wall and shot.'

Second Amendment News Roundup for 1/11/2011

WRSA has news on the despicable Sheriff of Pima County, who apparently had numerous run-ins indicating Loughner was a danger to himself and others long before the shooting on Saturday.

Blood Libelous Leftwing Could Learn from Obama's Response to Shooting

Obama, believe it or not, was a good example of how to handle a national tragedy.  The Leftwing goons should learn from their leader.

Read my commentary on the subject at Conservative Examiner.


In his remarks on Saturday, Obama blamed NO ONE...zilch.  He didn't even use the shooting to call for more gun control.  If HE can change his tone, why can't the rest of the Leftwing minions? 

Second Amendment News Roundup for 1/10/2011

All guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

David Codrea reports that the usual suspects are lining up to exploit the shooting in Tuscon.

Vanderboegh says it is downright stupid to assert that inflamed rhetoric is to blame for nutjobs.  The American experience is proof.  Go back and read the historical record of what our forebears endured and dished out in debate...this nation was born out of inflamed political rhetoric.  Take that away, and liberty is lost.

WRSA has two must-reads on the growing attacks on political free speech as a result of the Tuscon shooting.

BREAKING...Loughner Conducted Bizarre, Satanic Rituals

The news this morning provides further insight into the mind of alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner.

Conservative Examiner reports.

This guy is far from the 'right-wing activist' the Left claims.  Rather, he is a nutjob who engaged in the occult, as police discovered in a shrine he had erected behind his home.

Full Live-Texting of Arizona Shooting

I have been live-texting all afternoon the unfolding events surrounding the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

You can find the full record of the tragedy, as it happened, at Conservative Examiner.


It is not surprising that Leftists are already blaming the shooting on the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, and even Congresswoman Giffords' opponent in the Nov. 2 election.  This is a most despicable development.

Read for full details.

ALERT! Newspaper in New Zealand Blasts David Codrea

It seems our friend David Codrea, National Gun Rights Examiner, is taking some heat in New Zealand over his remarks about the country's gun policies.

The New Zealand press is fighting back, blasting Codrea for supposedly for taking 'pot shots' at the country.

But the newspaper made it abundantly clear how they view Americans in remarks published today...which only goes to show that America is our last stand for freedom.  The world as a whole, including supposed 'free nations' has succumbed to the creeping crawl of government oppression, and the sheep in their populations are going along with it.

Thus, there is no place for Patriots to go.  We stand here and fight to the death.

The fight is on.  As soon as John Boehner was sworn in today as House Speaker, Republicans embarked on a 20 day plan to undo the Obama agenda.

Read all about it at Conservative Examiner.


This is gonna get interesting, my friends.  Buckle your seat belts and hold tight.

ALERT! Jihadis Target Christians for New Terrorist Push in 2011

Christians are the new target of the Jihadis all over the world.

This special report at Conservative Examiner describes the new and growing global threat to the lives and safety of Christians.

The new information points to a disturbing pattern emerging that indicates that Muslim extremists are stepping up their attacks against 'the infidels.'

Second Amendment News Roundup for 1/4/2011

All guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

Brigid announces she is having surgery immediately for a tumor.  While she expects it to be nothing, prayers are appreciated.  You got it, my dear!

Market Guru Karl Denninger has urgent info on the 'terminal prognosis' of the American economy.  Given Denninger's track record, you had best pay attention and ignore the media reports of a 'recovery' in 2011!

WRSA posts some hard truths about current nuclear defense capability and the growing danger we face.

Standing By provides good reading on 'liberal fascism'--a term which is actually redundant given that fascism by its very nature is Leftwing--whether it's Communism, Socialism, Fascism, Nazi, etc, they are all totalitarian.

Tam has an interesting read on what happens to nuclear power plants in the event of devastating catastrophe.

Vanderboegh notes that the Democrats have tapped a top Obama lawyer to counter Darrell Issa's pending investigations into corruption.

David Codrea reports that a Texas newspaper has summarily dropped a Texas gun column from their pages, and further provides info on widespread disinformation being disseminated by 'authorized journalists.'

Squeaks says she is not having a good new year so far.  I'm sure she could use some good support. The gun rights-and-liberty community tends to be fairly close-knit for the most part, and I hate to see one of our own undergoing such difficulty.


Kurt Hofmann reports that the citizens of East St. Louis are apparently on their own against criminals. 


Around O-Town highlights yet another story showing the abject lunacy of 'Big Sis'--our illustrious director of DHS.

Behind the Parapet lists the many news stories showing that Americans are quickly becoming subjects in the new American serfdom.

Every Blade of Grass has a VERY special message for that quintessential career government parasite, Alan Simpson, concerning Social Security.

Way Up North provides the quote of the day.

The Stiletto posts most interesting information on the unemployment situation, from an angle that has not been reported but indicates the depth of our current economic woes.

Days of our Trailers comments on a group claiming that the Christian concept of 'the Rapture' will occur on May 21.  Now, it seems there is a direct warning from Jesus in the New Testament about such things, along the lines of 'no man knows the day or the hour.'  Meaning, of course, that those who engage in such predictions are kooks.

Blonde Sagacity has a lists of things you may have missed in 2010.  An interesting read.

Traction Control provides some gunnie goodness that you enthusiasts may find interesting...

What is the Real Reason for the Fish, Bird Kill?

As usual, official explanations for the massive deaths of fish and birds in America and as far south as Brazil miss the mark.

Read today's Conservative Examiner for a more plausible explanation.

Something sinister is happening here, and it was all predicted back during the Gulf oil spill.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 1/3/2011

Happy New Year!

And now, all guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

David Codrea reports on the failure of the mainstream media to report the various investigations into corruption at the ATF.

Standing By declares that the ATF should be outright dismantled.  I agree.  Abolish it.  Close it down.  Save the money.

Kurt Hofmann says that a good new year's resolution is to determine to become 'a militia of one.'

Vanderboegh quips that civil servants are not civil and they do not serve.  And he provides an excellent example.

WRSA alerts us to new technology that will greatly enhance DHS's ability to spy on and monitor citizens.

Brigid writes an excellent piece alluding both to the addiction to 'things' and to the modern marvels of technology.

Way Up North calls our attention to a blog I'd never heard of.  Go for a look.

Tam notes that a certain group of persons has managed to murder a city.  No more boom town.

John Jacob H informs us of a giant who has passed from our midst.  Go look.

Breda comments on the abject hypocrisy of Michelle Obama regarding food.

Every Blade of Grass provides a plethora of good quotations from Robert Heinlein.

Alphecca reports that self-avowed Socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont is being urged to challenge Obama in 2012 for the Democratic nomination for President.  LOL!!

Mike McCarville has the cartoon editorial of the day.

Roberta X posts a news story out of Australia pointing to their monumental struggles of late.

Pamela Geller announces the big Ground Zero Mosque protest on Jan. 12.

Market Guru Karl Denninger offers the explanation on why the economy is NOT 'expanding,' contrary to the official reports from the government.

Oleg Volk provides some great gun pics to get the new year started off right...

Issa: 'One of the Most Corrupt Administrations in History'

The man who will investigate the Obama Administration on a number of issues has stated that this Administration 'is one of the most corrupt in history.'

Conservative Examiner reports.

But already Tea Party activists are saying that House Republicans are not going far enough.  Read for details.

Mainstream Media Goes Berserk Over Tea Party, Conservatives

They're at it again.  They just can't help themselves.  The talking heads of the MSM are simply so myopic, so clannish and inbred, and so sheltered from the vast world outside the beltway, that they cannot imagine anyone holding views that are different from theirs.

Read about the latest all-out assault on the Tea Party and Conservatives today at Conservative Examiner.

The MSM has in essence declared war on us.  We will not retreat from the fight.  They want to do battle?  Bring it on!  I will meet them eyeball to eyeball, toe to toe anytime, anywhere to debate the issues.  We win hands-down in the public marketplace of ideas where RATIONALITY reigns supreme.

Poll Results Are In--Second Amendment News Roundup to Continue

By an overwhelming majority, regular readers of The Liberty Sphere voted to continue with the Second Amendment News Roundup, which has been a daily feature of this blogs for 3 years.

As promised, I will gladly continue doing the Roundup IF my readers clearly expressed their preference that it continue.

83% of respondents said that the 2A Roundup is very important.  Another 13% said that the Roundup is 'somewhat important.'  Taken together, this represents 96% who said that the feature was either very or somewhat important.

Only 3% of respondents stated that the Roundup is not important to them at all, while only 1% said they did not care one way or the other.

Thank-you for your participation in the poll.  I am happy to say that nearly all of the daily readers of The Liberty Sphere participated.  It is a pleasure to be able to provide information that you faithful readers find to be important.

Since its launch date in September of 2006, this little blog has managed to amass 3-quarters of a million readers--over 700,000.  I expect that sometime during 2011 I will pass the 1 million mark.

Granted, I am nowhere near the same league as Brigid, David Codrea, Mike Vanderboegh, Tam, or Western Rifle Shooters, but this thing has gradually built up a very loyal following for which I am deeply grateful.

As long as I have health, strength, and breath, I will continue to strongly espouse the values I believe to be central to our survival as a FREE people.  God bless!  And Happy New Year.

The Battle for the Republic to Intensify in 2011

Happy New Year to all my friends here at The Liberty Sphere.  I trust and pray that 2011 will be much better in terms of liberty than 2010.

But make no mistake, the battle lines are drawn, and the statists have no intention of going down without a fight.  They are now out of the closet entirely when it comes to their opposition to the Constitution, as you will read in my latest at Conservative Examiner.


But we who adhere to the Founders' vision have no intention of going down without a fight, either.  And we have truth on our side.  Liberty in the end will always triumph over tyranny.  The human spirit forever cries to be free.  Thus, we shall prevail, but we must not ease up one bit in the fight.  See you on the front lines of the battle.

A Regretful Retraction--the 'Young Patriot With Cancer' Story a Hoax

I must issue a retraction of a story I published on December 20.

Apparently many of us on Twitter were thoroughly duped by a woman whose sister claimed was 'dying of cancer.'  As it turns out, both women (which in all likelihood are one and the same) were engaged in an elaborate fraud.

Conservative Examiner puts the story in context along with the retraction.

As one who lost a parent to cancer in the early 1990s, naturally I am immediately drawn to stories of people who suffer from the disease and will readily offer help through prayer and encouraging others to pray.  But people of this kind prey upon compassionate people for dubious ends.  It is a despicable thing.

Anyway, sorry for my role in leading well-meaning people astray.  It was certainly not done deliberately.

Former Shell CEO Says Gas Headed for 5 Bucks Per Gallon

Ominous news to report today--it would appear that prices at the pump are set to skyrocket, this time far beyond the oppressive $4 per gallon of 2008.

Read the whole story at Conservative Examiner.


5 bucks per gallon is actually a conservative estimate.  Some say that $7-10 per gallon is more realistic.  And that, my friends, will not only ruin any hope of an economic recovery but send the U.S. into a deadly tailspin that will lead to collapse.

Time is Running out to Vote in the Poll

Hello there.  Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas day.

Time is running out for you to vote in the poll you will see to your left.  Take about 10 seconds and register your opinion.  So far the consensus is overwhelming that readers want the 2nd Amendment News Roundup to continue.

You have 5 days left to vote.  I'd love to hear from all of you.  Thanks!

White House Eyes Shakeup of Obama's Inner Circle

The chatter around Washington this morning focuses on the coming shakeup of the Obama inner circle.

Conservative Examiner reports.

The Sunday news programs indicated today that there are major changes on the way at the White House.  The impact these changes will have on policy remains to be seen.

Merry Christmas to All

Today I celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.  We do not know exactly when Christ was born.  But this is the day that the Church through the centuries has chosen to mark his birth.  For that reason I choose to focus on Christ's birth on this day.

My hope and prayer is that all of you will find this day to be joyful, meaningful, and peaceful.  May your life be richer for it!

The Most Awarded and Celebrated Christmas Songs of All Time

Merry Christmas, folks!  It's that time of year again, and music makes it even better.

How about we look at the most awarded and celebrated Christmas songs of all time?  My new Music Awards Examiner column does exactly that.

These are the critics' and consumers' choices.  Are your favorites on the list?  Have any you want to add?

And Now for Something a Bit Different

In addition to my regular column on conservative politics at Examiner, I have added a 2nd column.  I am now the National Music Awards Examiner.

My first entry is 'Paul McCartney Honored in Kennedy Center Broadcast on Dec. 28.'

Most of you probably did not know I have spend my entire life in music, beginning at age 5.  I formed my own Gospel group at the age of 14, and we sang on TV and made records for roughly 6 years.  I have also served as Choir Conductor for several churches.

And now, I will be a music critic in addition to holding forth on conservative issues.  Hope you will enjoy.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/23/2010

All guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

David Codrea notes that the El Paso Times has either engaged in outright deception or is woefully ignorant in their latest piece on automatic weapons purchases.

WRSA has a MUST-read on why Muslims must be expelled from the West.

Pamela Geller posts a shocking story of a Muslim group that is conducting a campaign called 'Christmas is Evil.'  Mark my words, folks, if we don't rid this country of these nutcases, along with the Leftwing nutcases that enable them, we are done, finished, gone.

Brigid provides a forensic study of office Christmas party food.  I can't get my mind off of chomping down on the gingerbread man cookie treat.

Every Blade of Grass, for something a bit different, offers the best of the shuttle launches from 1983-2010, on video.  Good historical record.

Our sincere condolences go out to Breda in the loss of her uncle.  She is going dark for a while to grieve.

Way Up North does some ranting today on several issues, one of which is that the RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted 100% with Democrats during the lame-duck session. Tell me again why sane people keep sending these nitwits back to Congress...

21 Guns Salute posts a follow-up to the story of the murder of a Border Patrol agent in Arizona.  Take a look.

Alphecca has a story out of that la-la land to the north, Massachusetts, indicating that citizens are up in arms about a school principle's stance on reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.  Only in the land of kooks does this kind of fallout happen.over the Pledge.

And now, for a much-needed break from the news, The Ol' Broad presents 'the Jib Jab Year in Review.'  Hope the video gives you a chuckle.

Mainstream Media's New Template Touting Obama's 'Success'

Well, the talking heads are in one accord trying to save Obama's arse.

Conservative Examiner today explains how the MSM is now claiming Obama is the comeback kid and that the lame duck Congress was a resounding success.

A serious fact-check is in order, and I provide it.

Reasons This Congress will Go Down as the Sorriest Lot in History

What more can I say/  This has been a sorry group of marauding interlopers who have stolen the citizens blind!

Read my commentary on the 111th Congress at Conservative Examiner.


My friends, we MUST insure that people of this ilk are never elected to Congress ever again!!

Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/22/2010

All guns and politics, from the best gun-rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

Brigid pulls on the heart strings as she offers this moving tribute to her mother.

Tam has a VERY interesting read on a gun dealer in Indy who used to be the body guard for none other than Jimmy Hoffa!

David Codrea reports that a Second Amendment attorney says that the ATF proposal for restrictions on long guns is illegal.

Kurt Hofmann says that the ATF is showing its contempt for the will of the people.

Standing By blogs on the despicable, obnoxious, reprehensible, and unconstitutional power grab by the FCC in seizing control of the Internet yesterday.  We might as well be living under Hugo Chavez.

Nicki provides a sharply worded rebuke of the notion that Internet access is a 'civil right.'  AMEN!

Way Up North offers the must-read of the day.  Go see.

WRSA posts absolutely essential reading entitled, 'America In Revolt.'

GunRights4US has a bit of humor for our mental health today...

Around O-Town reports all the news on the Jihadist plot to massacre Christmas shoppers.

Blonde Sagacity says that Fred Phelps and his cult at Westboro made a trip to Philly.  Let me be clear about this.  My views on gays in the military or on homosexual behavior in general are nowhere akin to the Phelps hate cult.  I detest his tactics, his abject hatred, his disruption of military funerals, and the like.  These people are disgusting and they are NOT 'Baptist.'  They are not even a 'church.'

Days of our Trailers makes a very important point on how we can show support for the guns and ammo industry during the Christmas season.

Be Sure to Vote in the Poll!!

It's just to your left in the sidebar and it will only take a moment.

This will help provide direction to me as I plan for the new year.

Thanks for your participation!  I'd like to hear from all of you.

'Loving one's fellow man' Means Telling the plain TRUTH

Every now and then someone pulls the religion card to use against me in protest to my plain language directed at individual who, in my view, are contributing to the demise of the country.

The mantra invariably leads to some remark resembling, 'You should pray to God to help you love your fellow man and stop hating your fellow citizens,' or some such nonsense.

I don't hate anybody.  But I DO hate actions.  And anyone who pulls the religion card on ME had better be very careful.  I know the Bible, and I know the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus himself referred to scribes, Pharisees, and lawyers as 'vipers, snakes, hypocrites.'

For that reason he was hated my many.  People forget that about Jesus, opting instead to mold him into their own image of some effeminate wussy who went around never raising his voice.  Ever read what he did to the criminal money-changers in the Temple?

MY religion is quite clear about the responsibility to call attention to behavior that is destructive and deviant.  To fail to do so is not 'love' but enabling and abetting the destruction of our moral and ethical values as a nation.

So, no, God is not telling anyone to roll over and acquiesce to evil.  To the contrary, Jesus demands that we condemn it and vilify it.

FATAL VOTE! 11 GOP TURNCOATS JOIN DEMOCRATS TO ADVANCE START TREATY

This is a most dangerous treaty that will vastly weaken America just as North Korea and Iran gain nuclear bombs.  11 Republican turncoats joined a unanimous Democrat push to advance the treaty to a floor vote tomorrow.

Conservative Examiner names the names of the 11 GOP turncoats who need to be reminded that their jobs depend on a NO vote!

Interestingly 4 out of the 11 are from conservative southern states!  These fools need to be told that voters will not forget this deadly vote!

American Community Survey--Big Government Snoops

You probably never heard of the 'American Community Survey.'  But you should.

It is part of the federal government, and they collect intrusive, private, and personal information under the threat of up to a $5000 fine.

Read all about it at Conservative Examiner.

And wait till you see the abusive tactics utilized by survey workers!

Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/21/2010

All guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

WRSA calls attention to a dirty, rotten jackbooted thug of the Feds who tried (and failed) to steal Christmas.

Pamela Geller blasts Mayor Bloomberg (who is known affectionately at the Liberty Sphere as 'the BASTARD') for claiming that Republican Congressman Peter King, R-NY, is wrong to start investigating Muslim extremists inside the U.S. once the new session of Congress begins in 2011.

David Codrea has all the latest news on the New Jersey man who was prosecuted on frivolous weapons charges.

Mike McCarville says the Feds have launched a new push to go after gun dealers.

Alphecca reports that violent crimes dropped during the first half of 2010.  Could it be that Americans' practice of arming themselves to the hilt beginning in 2007 is the biggest contributing factor?

Squeaks shares pics from a recent trip.

Traction Control shares stunning photos of the total eclipse of the moon last night.

Breda has more on the eclipse.

The Wandering Minstrel blogs on the impressive Taurus Circuit Judge, which is available in either a smooth  bore shotgun or a rifle.

Way Up North gives us a report on the deep freeze way up in Alaska.

The Stiletto reports that abject poverty looms for the many long-term unemployed in the country.  A recovery?  ROFL!  Recovery, my foot.

From Standing By--'When Necessity Becomes a Moral Imperative.'

GunRights4US has an excellent post on 'immigration by the numbers'--which shows what the dirty rotten politicians have been doing to destroy this country.

Around O-Town reports more on the phenomenon of 'vehicular jihad.'

Market Guru Karl Denninger says that a new bill has been introduced to get rid of the current monetary practices of the Feds--from a most unlikely source..  Out of character for this guy, but in this case, it's good.

The U.S. and Venezuela--Birds of a Feather?

This is serious, folks.  The things that are happening in Communist Venezuela are eerily similar to what's happening in Washington.

Conservative Examiner makes the comparison.

Read it all, and THINK!!!

To the Anonymous Numbskull 'Reader' Who Sent a Cowardly Email

A despicable coward sent me an email, somehow using my own email address as the sender, meaning of course that when I tried to reply my response was sent back to ME.

Not only is the tactic indicative of a sick individual who resorts to such juvenile and illegal behavior, but the message in the email confirms in my mind the moral and philosophical bankruptcy of those who seek to destroy the country through a nefarious set of initiatives on a variety of fronts.

The individual involved maintains that I should 'show respect' to those who disagree with the Framers' vision of what this country should be.  Of course, he/she claimed that good, Patriotic Americans can 'disagree' about how best to implement the Founder's vision.

Of course what such an asinine notion fails to grasp is that invariably statists who attack the values of this country do so in the name of the Constitution.  It is a common ploy of subversives.  Claim you are implementing the principles of the Constitution while seeking to undermine the very moral and ethical fabric of the nation that our Founders passed down to us..

Thus, to answer the anonymous coward, I will say that I will NEVER, EVER respect a point of view that in my estimation undermines and weakens this country.  If, in my view, you are tearing the country down by your support of highly questionable legislation, you can rest assured you will be swiftly condemned and vilified.

And I will NEVER back down until I am six feet under in the grave.  Got it, arsehole?

A Young Patriot Fights for Her Life

Take a moment and read this heart-wrenching story of a young lady, 22 years of age, who has endeared herself to countless conservatives on Twitter.

She came to the U.S. at the age of 5, brought by her father to escape Castro's Marxist regime.  Now, she suffers from devastating cancer and barely clings to life.

Conservative Examiner has the complete story.

This young lady needs our prayers.  Read the article, please, and pass it along.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 12/20/2010

All guns and politics, from the best gun rights-and-liberty bloggers on the Internet!

David Codrea reports important information on the Traver nomination to head the ATF.

CLO weighs in on this horrible choice--indicating that the 'powers that be' are enemies of the people.

21 Guns Salute, further, reports on the latest damnable shenanigans at the ATF.  Read it all.

Kurt Hofmann has a most interesting bit of information showing that the Attorney-General for the D.C. District admitted that there are 'decades of scholarly material' on the Second Amendment.'  Funny how.they never admitted such a thing until now.

John Jacob H points to a story that proves my contention that North Carolina has become the Kalifornia of the south.  A county has now banned target practice.  BTW, I love that pic of Ann Coulter doing some target shooting.

Standing By posts an excellent article on those who corrupt science for profit and sometimes just for fun.

Newbius blogs on defensive gun use in the state of Utah.  A good read.

Way Up North provides the quote of the day from Abraham Lincoln.

Brigid posts a walk in the heart of darkness...excellent!

Tam comments on a quip made by a member of a firearms discussion board on 'zombie targets.'

Breda reports that an armed 11 year old girl successfully defended her home and family.  Good story!

WRSA has a must-read on George Orwell and the incessant power-grabs by the ruling class.  It is NEVER about 'the good of the people' but about power for power's sake.

Around O-Town reports that Santa Claus has been banned from Christmas at a school in order to 'avoid offending Muslims.'  Muslims be damned!

Days of our Trailers offers commentary on the gun control freaks' mantra that 'common sense gun laws' must be enacted to 'protect the children.'

GunRights4US declares that 'America's poor aren't really poor.'  Take a look to see what he means.

Seriously Considering 'Hanging It Up'

Okay, folks, time for some soul-searching plain talk.  I am seriously considering hanging it all up for good.  I have grown sick and tired of the battles day in and day out.  Even the fiercest of warriors grow weary of the battle, and I have just about had my fill.

Your participation in the poll located to your left will certainly help me to determine whether or not to continue.

I have operated this blog since 2006, most of that time for which there has been little support or recognition for the efforts.  I know this does not refer to the 200 or so regular readers, for whom I am deeply grateful.  But beyond that, this thing gets very little traction.

Added to that is the fact that major changes have taken place in the leadership structure at the place where I do a column (which I will not name for a reason) that makes it extremely difficult to continue doing that.  Big changes in the site have added to the problem.

Thus, I am considering pulling the plug on everything--the Liberty Sphere, the column, Facebook, Twitter, ALL of it.  If I decide to do so, I will simply go POOF--I will be gone with the wind.

Sorry if I sound so hopeless at this point, but some other issues play into my current feelings.  A knock-down drag out fight with a 'tea party' social liberal yesterday on Don't Ask, Don't Tell, plus the vote to repeal the law seemingly with little concern on the part of most citizens, is incredibly discouraging.  I don't give America much hope, frankly.  The Republic our Founders gave us, and which I remember as a child, is GONE.  It is OVER.  And to be honest, I don't know if I wish to continue on the front lines of a losing battle.

I loathe the thought of giving up.  It goes against my nature.  But I owe it to you, my faithful readers, to level with you about where I am at this point in my life.  I am damn sick and tired of my fellow citizens.  Most of them don't have a clue, and thus, we are marching into the brave new world unbridled, with no inkling of what is going to hit us as a result.

Part of the coming catastrophe is,  in my view, divine retribution.  We have fallen so very far away from the moral, ethical, and spiritual principles that once under-girded this nation that I truly believe God is going to unleash His wrath on us in short order.  And we deserve it.

My views about this matter place me in a tiny minority that is increasingly viewed as 'obsolete' in this society.  My views are considered passe, bigoted, narrow, and so forth, while the very ones who think such things are the most intolerant of all.  They do not tolerate me.  So much for openness, tolerance, etc, etc.  They are a bunch of mindless hypocrites.  Yes, hypocrites are in abundance even outside the church.  And our so-called 'enlightened ones' of the brave new world are the worst offenders of all.  You either speak and think as they wish, or you are vilified and relegated to the fringe.

Well, I am not going to stop screaming bloody murder about what I view as an intolerable assault on the foundation of this nation.  But speaking about these issues gets you branded.  Readers get angry and drop you from their list.  The whole thing leads to financial ruination, especially when a supposedly 'conservative' news source buries your material and promotes the same old Leftwing propaganda of TIME, AOL, and other mainstream media outlets.

So, my friends, I really don't know what to do.  I am at a loss.  And when I get this way, eventually I withdraw from everything in despair.

If I decide that all of this is not worth my time and energy, I will be gone for good.  You can be assured of that.  But in my own little circle of the world here in South Carolina, I will still be mouthing off about the Leftwing nutcases who are destroying America.

And unfortunately, some of those responsible for our demise are in the Tea Party, of which I am a part.  It was the Tea Party, after all, that gave us that despicable fool Scott Brown in Massachusetts.

Repeal of DADT--Bad for America?

Time for some straight talk about this issue--plain talk that cuts through the crap we are hearing from the mainstream media, politicians, and gay activists.

Read it all at Conservative Examiner.


You may not like what I have to say, but this is an honest assessment as I see it.  You will always get it from me straight.
