Banning Guns by Changing Definitions, Part 2

By on Thursday, April 7th, 2011 | 12 Comments

Unable to get legislation passed, the administration seeks to master us with their mastery of words. In this case the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is seeking to master the definition of the term “sporting use” to “traditional” sports, things similar to what might have been found in 1934 when the Treasury Department first began regulating firearms.

One major problem (aside from the constitution) is that many of the features the ATF study group settled on make a shotgun particularly useful for self defense, especially home defense.

The “Odyssey Dawn” Song

By on Sunday, March 20th, 2011 | 1 Comment

If you’re of a certain age, you heard endless repetitions of a song called “Delta Dawn” in the early 70s. Depending on the kind of music you listened to, you heard a version by Helen Reddy, Tanya Tucker, or Bette Midler. A bunch of other people recorded it over the years, and I’m told that [...]

Harry Reid, Cowboy Poetry and the Budget

By on Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Townhall.com reports that Senator Harry Reid is complaining that the budget cuts in H.R.1 would be brutal. He takes particular exception to cuts to the “National Endowment of the Humanities” (I think he means the National Endowment FOR the Humanities) which provides funds for a Cowboy Poetry Festival in northern Nevada each January. Reid seems [...]

Newspaper Guild Was At Rally Where Tabitha Hale Was Attacked

By on Friday, February 25th, 2011 | 1 Comment

On Wednesday Tabitha Hale was attacked outside of her office at FreedomWorks by union protesters who had gathered to rally in support of the Wisconson public employees. The attacker was part of Communications Workers of America. Instapundit noted that The Newspaper Guild was part of CWA, so the lack of MSM coverage was unsurprising. Looking [...]

Unions Forfeit My Sympathy

By on Thursday, February 24th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Today someone from the Communications Workers of America was demonstrating outside of the building in DC that houses both FreedomWorks and Fox News in support of the public employee unions in Wisconsin attacked a young woman I know and like to think of as a friend, Tabitha Hale. Tabitha works at FreedomWorks, and with a number of other bloggers I was a guest at a party she hosted during CPAC at FreedomWorks.

Something broke inside me when I heard that Tabitha had been attacked. Unions have apparently decided that it’s OK to assault women in public. Call me a chauvinist if you must, but to me that is beyond the pale.

Why I’m Going to CPAC

By on Monday, February 7th, 2011 | 1 Comment

If you’ve been following the news about CPAC, you know that some social conservative elements, what is sometimes known as the “Religious Right,” are boycotting CPAC this year. This is because a gay conservative group called GOProud is participating at a higher level than it has in the past. So how do I reconcile going to CPAC with my Christian beliefs?

Olympic Conclusion Jumping

By on Saturday, January 8th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Folks on all sides of the political spectrum are doing their best to assign blame to the other side. It’s happening on blogs, on Twitter, and on Facebook. The MSM is getting into the act too. It’s made easier because the videos on the YouTube channel of the accused shooter include rants that are all over the place. This permits people to use his words as a sort of political Rorschach test. As near as I can tell, his political alignment is “crazy.”

Legislating Morality

By on Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 | 7 Comments

To turn to my main point, liberty and anarchy are not the same thing. Without a framework of laws, there is no reason my neighbor can’t open a window and shoot me when I come home from shopping at 4 am and start lugging groceries inside because I forgot to turn off the radio that was blasting Vivaldi and then slammed the car doors & woke his wife.

Bob “Who’re you?” Etheridge Cranks Up the Dem Recount Machine

By on Thursday, November 4th, 2010 | 7 Comments

Election day came, and for most people, has gone. A few can’t be called yet, for various reasons. But here in North Carolina the usual game of a Democrat trying to recount his way into an office he lost has begun. Etheridge was running for reelection in North Carolina’s second congressional district, which covers all [...]

The Left Takes Liberty Pundits’ Bait

By on Saturday, October 23rd, 2010 | 1 Comment

As I mentioned last night, there was some flap on Twitter as Melissa Clouthier was accused of being a birther. The charge grew from this post by her partner, Clyde Middleton, and the fact that her Twitter account tweets about each post that appears on Liberty Pundits. But did Clyde really go off the deep [...]
