      Obama Breeds Rebellion Among the States

      Mr. Horseteeth I agree with you that hussein obama is deliberately trying to dismantle this country. But not to be communists – he wants us to be a nation of islam and under sharia law. Mr. Caruba makes good points that we need to listen to and ACT on. We cannot just express our hatred for what this traitor is doing. We must work to get officials elected to the senate, the house and the presidency to right the ship that is our nation before we are sunk. Get involved now. Act now. And keep it up. Show these theives we will not allow them to steal our nation that was fought for so gallantly by so many brave soldiers.

      Nearly Every Mass Shooting In The Last 20 Years Shares One Thing In Common, & It's NOT Weapons

      Okay uneducated folks, anti-psychotic drugs are not good for anyone who does not have any psychotic tendencies… i.e. Anti-Social Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or others. Now a simple anti-seizure drug does wonders for stabilizing moods! SSRI’s are god awful Rx’s and can’t be mixed with tons of other drugs… Tricyclic ones tend to keep people awake for days, annoyingly but not exhausting…

      Southwest Shooting Authority of Arizona Tells Obama Voters to Get Lost

      Just came across this,couldn’t agree with you more,next thing we need to do is break away from the states that Obama carried in the election.If I was out your way , believe me I would drop by and buy a rifle or shotgun,because I live in Mississippi,and I believe the law reads that I can’t buy a Handgun.It is a shame though,because I can use my c c w there.Hang in there and more power to ya.Keep your powder dry.

      How to Disarm the Armed Citizen – Part 2: Distraction

      How to Disarm the Armed Citizen – Part 2: Distraction

      Professor Paul is right on target on this discussion of distraction. Just like fighter pilots learned the hard way flying over Vietnam to turn off most of the distracting bells and whistles in their cockpits and focus on the threats, we need to do the same. And I would argue it is just as ultimately life-threatening.
