— Happy Independence Day — Read The Declaration Of Independence

It's that time of the year again.  Independence day.  A day that most Americans refer to as, The Fourth Of July...  Granted it is ON the 4th of July, but it IS "Independence Day".  On this day in 1776, our forefathers declared their independence from the British Empire.  They did so understanding what would happen...

— The Mosin Nagant Project

Just completed the Mosin Nagant Project.   I Modernized an old rifle -- built in 1941 -- into a modern rifle.  Why?  Just because I was kinda bored, I love the science of Ballistics, and perhaps because I've always wanted to be a gunsmith.  If it's your kinda thing... check it out. Follow A Link Below...

— Are We Living In A Police State? — Yet???

We may just be there right now!  The US Government is doing things that no government before it had the technology to do.  By doing so, it has successfully wrestled Liberty, Freedom, and Privacy away from Americans.  But not from distant, anonymous "Americans" who might be terrorists or criminals; because that would be far too...

— Practical Freedom — And More Practical Liberty

You can't have freedom if you want government to force people to make "good" decisions.Freedom requires a recognition that people are free to make good decisions sometimes.  But it is also a recognition that people will make bad decisions at other times.  Obviously, we would (as a society) wish to limit bad decisions of individual...

— Why Liberals Are Afraid Of Black Conservatives — Great Read

Now, I don't consider myself a "Conservative" personally, however, I understand and trust Conservatives because I don't believe that they are for a larger, more centralized government [as Liberals have proven themselves to be].  I do believe that most Conservatives... are Libertarian by nature, but that is probably just my hope. Wayne Dupree addresses some...

— Connecticut Goes Firearms Crazy — And They Think It’ll Help — Uhhhh, No!

Good for you Connecticut!  You've taken that next step.  Irrationally punishing the people who have done nothing wrong.  You (by which I mean We) had an unfortunate and sad situation, and now you're using that act to justify a far worse act.  It is terrible when anyone dies.  It is tragic when anyone is murdered. ...

— On 23 March 1775 Patrick Henry Said — Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death

Patrick Henry was 'The Man", back in his day! It was march 23, 1775 when he made his speech that served to resolve the other patriots to fight. It's worthy of a read every so often. If you read it, I'm sure you'll wonder... because some of the things he's stated, could be directly applied...

— Friedrich Hayek — On Government Imposed Equality

Now, alot of people are confused with the idea of equality in America.  Many confuse the concept that we are all BORN "equal" with the idea that we all should have "equal outcomes" in life.  There is no doubt, that our lives are of equal VALUE, however, there should be no confusion that some of...

— The Shepherd’s Sheep — That Would Be You!!

Your government loves you!  It's not the kind of love that will cause a parent to die for their child, but it's more akin to how an owner loves his property.  Government wouldn't risk itself for ANY American.  It wouldn't even risk embarrassment to ensure the safety of one of its Ambassadors [that would be...

— Great Moments In Democrat Racist History — Hugo Black

This one is kinda old, but it's worth watching every once in awhile.  Because, It is funny how quickly, we forget our history.  Hugo Black was truly a doucebag. It's amazing to think that the party who ended racism in our country is the one labeled as racist (Republican), and the party who -gave way...

— Drone Strikes — If That Were My Country — I’d Be Furious

You know what?  It's hard to bring this up because I'm an American.  But I feel that it needs to be said.  The drone strikes that are taking place in other countries are beginning to wear on me. But here's the thing.  If any country were to target citizens in my country... for any reason!...

— I’m Not Afraid Of….. But I Am Afraid Of …… Government!

“Freedom is sloppy. But since tyranny's the only guaranteed byproduct of those who insist on a perfect world, freedom will have to do.” -- Bill Willingham Now, I'm not afraid of Spiders, Al Qaeda, Rabid Dogs, Scorpions, Gang Members, Rats, Random Brain Aneurysms, Ebola, Burning To Death In My Crashed Car Whilst Trapped inside, Computer...

— “Do You Remember” — That Scene From The Movie, V For Vendetta

Do you Remember, Remember (nice) the scene from V for Vendetta when the character, V, gives a speech to the people of England?  He asks them to think of what's going on within their country, and their government.  There's some lessons we all could learn from this I think.  Here it goes: Yeppers, I knew...

— Remember When Your Life Was Your Own???

In the distant past, people were free to live their lives as though they owned them here in America.  We used to be a country where your bad decision could very well lead to your own death.  People could take drugs, and drink themselves to death without the government stepping in to tell you what...

— US Gun Sales Soar After Obama Reelection — But Why??

Currently, there are a plethora of articles [such as this one] about the increase in Assault Rifle (and other firearms) sales across the United States.  Now, if you watch the news, it's all about Obama.  I can't say it's ONLY an Obama thing because it happened after Clinton as well (to a lesser extent).  Obviously,...

— Another School Shooting — So You Want To Ban Guns — Good Luck!

It has been a terrible week here in America. We had another mentally ill individual go into a school and shoot the place up after killing his mother at his home. We have 20 dead children and 6 dead adults.  Being so close to Christmas makes it much more of a tragedy for the country...

— Do You Really NOT Like Freedom???

"Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves." --- Lord Byron We are living in a time when our (United States) government is growing... When the Government is taking over more and more of our lives.  When government thinks it knows best how individuals...

— Why I Want Us All To Go Over The Fiscal Cliff

Yeppers, I said it, and I'll say it again; I want us ALL to go over the Fiscal Cliff... Why you ask? Because I'm a taxpayer who always seems to owe money. Every F-ing year I owe and it pisses me off to no end. I end up owing money and spending months figuring out...

— It’s Not “OUR” Debt — That’s The Government’s Debt

I love when I see those figures saying that each American owes such-and-such thousand dollars when referring to the National Debt.  People use this type of figure when they are trying to put-in-perspective just how much the government is spending. I understand what they're getting at, and I understand they need a reference point (that...

— “Asking” The Rich To Pay More In Taxes

I always find it fascinating when people (mostly Democrats) suggest that they are going to "Ask" the rich to pay more in taxes.   Awww yes, It sounds so sweet and peaceful doesn't it?  It almost sounds as though the government is going to ask those individuals if their money could be taken voluntarily. The government...

— The NEXT American Revolution — There’s No Need To Fear It!

I keep hearing those, many of whom I consider(ed) intelligent, thinking, and informed people, say silly things.  One of those silly things concerns the future of the United States.  They proclaim: "Ohh, We'll never have a revolution!"  Now, despite the fact that one should Never say "Never", I find it fascinating that they may actually...

— You’ve Gotta Love Dennis Miller — Telling Leno About Obama

You gotta love Dennis Miller.  He has this way of cutting through the B.S..  He kinda says the stuff that we all (non-fools) think.  I'm sure Leno feels dumb for having him on though.  He can't even get a word of defense in. The funny thing is that, I don't think Jay Leno even took...

— Not Even The Nazi’s Did That — Jail People Over Rainwater?!?!

You know, this story kinda came and went but it's too bad.  This is a story about a man named Gary Harrington, who owns his property and has to go to jail for 30 days because he was collecting rainwater.  Was he collecting the water so he could cool down the plutonium for a nuclear...

— That Guy Has A Point — The Democrat Party Has A Poor History

I don't know who this guy is but he makes some points that are damn-near lost to history concerning the Democrat party.  And what's funny is that EVERYTHING he says is historically accurate and open to your full research.  It's a bit long but... I didn't find it at all boring. It is unfortunate that...

— Good Read — Is There A Constitutional Right To Own An Assault Rifle?

I was on Facebook when a friend posted a link to this article.  It is written by a guy named Shaun Connell.  I don't know him or what else he's ever written but this is a good read. Click the Image to go to the original Article (or click here) Now, that's interesting and thought...

— FBI Mine Resistant Armored Vehicles — Really?

I know alot of people don't seem to care that law enforcement within the united states continues to become evermore paramilitary (SWAT team, Special Operations Forces, Intelligence, Anti-Terror).  But when our Investigators become door-kickers we have a problem.  Does no one see a problem with the Federal Bureau of "Investigations" rocking Mine Resistant Vehicles?  They...

— Why Did She Name It — Atlas Shrugged??

Well, obviously Atlas Shrugged is an Amazing book but, if you haven't read it, you may wonder just why is it called Atlas Shrugged? Well, in mythology Atlas was a Titan who battled the Olympians.  After the Titans lost, Atlas was punished.  His punishment was to hold up the sky away from the earth. Somewhere...

— Frederick Douglass — Another Quote

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or...

— Pinkerton — The Original Security Contractor

Back in the day, there was no United States Secret Service to chase down counterfeit money or protect the President.  But there was a man named Allan Pinkerton.  He was a Scottish American who served as a spy.  He would later use his skills to start a detective organization called Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Pinkerton...

— Why Does The Federal Government Own So Much Land??

The Federal Government owns so much property it is ridiculous.  Perhaps it's me and my Libertarian leanings, but what on earth could justify so much Federal Property (according to the US Bureau of Land Management) still being owned by the Federal Government?  Nothing.  Lets look at it!  -- 36.6% of the State of Colorado owned...
