You Didn’t Build That?

Posted on July 27, 2012 by popgun

“You didn’t build that!”, Obama said, in a fit of honesty. Every once in a while his mouth gets ahead of his brain and he tells us what he really believes. The very best thing you can say about his … Continue reading →

Chic-fil-A

Posted on July 25, 2012 by popgun

Officials in at least three cities, including Rahm Emanuel in Chicago, are trying to block Chic-fil-A from opening restaurants in their towns, because Chic-fil-A does not support gay marriage. This constitutes religious persecution by the government. Since when, in the … Continue reading →

Tea Party – Violent?

Posted on July 24, 2012 by popgun

It seems that the leftist liberal main-stream media has succeeded in painting the Tea Party as being violent. I find this interesting since I cannot think of a single instance of any Tea Party activity in which the members of … Continue reading →

Murder in Aurora, revisited

Posted on July 22, 2012 by popgun

I just found out that the mass murder at the theater in Aurora, Colorado, happened in a theater which has a no-guns policy. Gee, that worked well, didn’t it? I might point out also that the killer was stopped by … Continue reading →

Posted on July 21, 2012 by popgun

We just got back from our vacation in Durango, Colorado; had a great time, but for some car trouble. Now, a few days later, some nut-job decides to get in the news in a big way by murdering or injuring … Continue reading →

The Mandate

Posted on June 30, 2012 by popgun

Well, I will admit I was taken by surprise by the Supreme Court ruling in favor of ObamaCare. It seems so incredibly obvious to me that nothing in the Constitution gives the government the right to require me to purchase … Continue reading →

What Are They Hiding??

Posted on June 27, 2012 by popgun

Regarding Fast & Furious, and President Obama protecting Attorney General Eric Holder by invoking executive privilege – you just have to ask yourself: What are they hiding?? What could possibly be so heinous that this was the least painful route … Continue reading →

Gays Flip Off President Reagan

Posted on June 23, 2012 by popgun

A group of representatives of the gay community were invited to the White House by Obama. They were photographed flipping off a portrait of President Reagan – an act they seemed to be proud of. This is pretty odd behavior … Continue reading →

Evil Flees the Light

Posted on June 20, 2012 by popgun

It seems clear enough, to me: Attorney General Eric Holder has something to hide, and President Obama is protecting him. I can see no other reason for Holder’s obstructionism regarding “Fast and Furious”, and Obama’s willingness to use executive privilege. … Continue reading →

Cars Are More Dangerous Than Guns

Posted on June 17, 2012 by popgun

I really don’t understand the horror some people have for guns. Really, they should be afraid of driving. I have contended for a long time that cars and trucks and other moving vehicles are far more deadly than guns which … Continue reading →

Liberals Are Violent People

Posted on June 14, 2012 by popgun

Joy Behar, a person who deserves zero respect, wants to see Romney’s house burn down. Looks like it is just fine for liberals to use violent imagery, but God forbid a conservative put target symbols on a map! Those bloody … Continue reading →

Clinging

Posted on June 9, 2012 by popgun

In his 2008 campaign, Obama said that country folks were “clinging to our Bibles and guns” – like that’s a bad thing. Now NBC news reminds us of that statement, dissing “folks in rural areas” – like me – because … Continue reading →

The Private Sector is Doing Just Fine

Posted on June 9, 2012 by popgun

President Obama said the “private sector is doing fine”, and, “Overall, the private sector has been doing a good job creating jobs.” Of course! What was I thinking! That explains why food stamp use has doubled since Obama took office! … Continue reading →

Words That Get You Watched by Big Brother

Somebody published a list of words that government computers search the telephone traffic and the internet for, presumably to automatically flag for further attention by the various security services. You can view it here. Some of the choices are kind … Continue reading →

Types of Issues

Posted on May 18, 2012 by popgun

It occurs to me that there are two fundamental types of issues in play in the games of politics. The most common is an issue that is largely a matter of passion. For instance, I personally am pro-life, and I … Continue reading →

Obama’s New Logo

Posted on May 15, 2012 by popgun

Obama’s new logo is “Forward”. He sure as heck doesn’t want you to look back at what he’s been doing the last four years…. “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” – The Wizard of Oz (who was … Continue reading →
