I read this on slashdot, and I agree 100%:
I would prefer to live freely and unobserved and someday die in a terrorist attack, than live in a “security” hell for all my life with cameras and RFIDs up my ass.

I fear for my country.  This has nothing to do with the economic situation.  It has everything to do with the fracturing of this country.  Each year the two sides of the political fence become more extreme.  Instead of healthy debate, we now have name calling, insults, and accusations.  Dirt on the other guy is [...]

I watched her speech at the RNC last night.  I must say, she scored a home run.  She easily has all the conservative women in her pocket.  She also has a lot of the fence sitting women on her side.  Veterans are going to be seriously considering her and McCain.  Parents with children of special [...]

The presidential election is fast approaching.  I’m still not thrilled with my choices.  I’m a moderate, not too far on the left or the right.  I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative.  That means I want maximum freedom for everybody, but I don’t want the government paying for all that crap.  Freedom isn’t something the [...]

So Russia has attacked and invaded another country.  Where are the peace marches?  Oh, that’s right, they are only against the United States going after evil bastards.  They have no problems with another country attacking a peaceful neighbor.
So where are the United Nations resolutions?  Oops, they aren’t Israel.  So no resolutions.
I’ve done more than the [...]

I just finished the excellent book Moment of Truth In Iraq, by Michael Yon, the longest embedded journalist in Iraq.  He thoroughly covers our military’s triumphs and mistakes in this war.  The bad news, we screwed up a lot in how we handled the country, mainly by creating a huge vacuum after dismantling their military [...]

Once again, Google has shown their contempt for the American military and has failed to provide a doodle for Memorial Day.  This is not an accidental omission.  Even if someone is against the Iraqi war, it’s no excuse for not honoring Fallen Heroes of past conflicts such as the brave men who gave the ultimate [...]

Campaigning for the presidential election is starting to kick into high gear.  Personally, I never decide how I will cast my vote until the last week.  I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how people can drive around with half a dozen bumper stickers for their chosen candidate this far away from the [...]

I spent a little time viewing some videos from 9/11.  I didn’t want to because I always find them disturbing.  However, I felt it was necessary to remind myself exactly what the so called “religion of peace” thinks of us.
Remember, Islamofascists murdered Americans because of what we believe in, freedom and equality for all. They [...]

Terrorist assholes attacked England, a country that almost single-handedly stood against Hitler’s Luftwaffe.  The response should be nasty (I should hope).

One night you awake to screaming from your neighbors house.  She’s being raped.  You quickly call the police to report the crime.  The police cruise by and tell the rapist, “don’t do that”.  Some of your neighors insist you should not get involved.
The next night the rapist returns and not only rapes the woman, but [...]

So it’s election day.  I’ve already voted via absentee ballot. Not that I’m going anywhere, but here in California we’re using the Diebold electronic voting system.  I know far too much about computers and Diebold’s unsavory history to ever trust my vote to one of their machines.  To put it simply, the Diebold system [...]

When voting on ballot measures, I have one unbreakable rule.  Always vote no on bond issues, even when I agree with the subject.  A bond issue is passing the bill to our children.  That is wrong.  I used to allow for an exception with educational bond issues.  However, after California threw a few tens of [...]

The Security Council voted 11-0 to adopt the second United Nations resolution in two months that presses the government of Sudan to end the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, where the US said genocide is being committed.
The second resolution in two months?  People are dying and all they do is say “Stop!”.  Or what?  They’ll say [...]

This is the enemy of the Religion of Peace.

The International Despot Club UN has denounced Israel’s security wall in the West Bank, which has reduced terrorist acts by 90%, as violating Palestinian human rights.
Has the UN bothered to denounce the Palestinian tendency to blow up Jewish babies?
Anyone who purposely targets children is most definately not human, therefore human rights do not apply.
Addendum
Like clockwork, [...]

These terror alert levels are completely useless.  What good is being told that somewhere, somehow, sometime in the next few months, something might happen?  Yeah.  Thanks for the information.

My mother likes Kerry.  I might have to disown her.

When the Founding Fathers of this country wrote the Declaration of Independence, it wasn’t targeted to England and Mad King George.  It was meant as notice to the world.  In great detail they listed all the reasons the colonies were rejecting British rule, with any one of the reasons being sufficient cause in its own [...]

In light of their capitulation in their elections after being attacked, I present this to the country of Spain:
