Leave it to the Chicago Tribune to issue a call to repeal the Second Amendment and to not understand what that Amendment is all about. The Chicago Tribune:
If the founders had limited themselves to the final 14 words, the amendment would have been an unambiguous declaration of the right to ...

With the advent of the U.S. Supreme Court decision stating that the "Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms" is an individual right, not a power entrusted to states, I thought it appropriate to post this youtube clip from the film, Top Secret.

What was it that Stephen King ...

A Wisconsin school is going to great lengths to show how religiously intolerant it can be by giving a student a grade of "Zero" on an art project simply because he added in a cross and a biblical reference. It is also claiming that he gave up his Constitutional Rights ...

It seems to me that the Liberal-Left will do anything to insure that their guy wins. The Star Tribune is running a piece on the "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact," and what a dozy that proposition is. The gist of the compact (or treaty, according to dictionary lookup) ...

Apparently, in the eyes of NARAL and the Christian Coalition of America, I must be un-American. Why? Today the Red Star Tribune ran an editorial coauthored by Nancy Keenan (NARAL) and Roberta Combs (CCA) on how Verizon is "censoring" content. From their opinion piece:

In a Hugo Chavez like move, MoveOn.org, that icon of the First Amendment and left-wing darling, is pushing hard to silence the Fox News Channel by calling for an advertiser boycott. Gotta love these folks who believe so much in the First Amendment.
From FoxNews (who else?):
MoveOn.org, the Campaign for ...

Gotta love the Liberal-Left, especially the media types, and how they use words to twist things to get their agenda across. The current big example is the controversial spanking ban being floated in my former home state of California. The ban is being pushed by Leftist Assemblyman Sally ...

Only in California would you see legislation being pushed to ban spanking, and only a California Liberal would come up with ludicrous rhetoric to defend such a proposal. The California Legislature is considering a proposal to ban the spanking of children under the age of three. From the ...

This is absolutely shocking. (FoxNews)
n a stunning crackdown, the FDNY has demanded that all personal decorations, including flags and pictures of colleagues killed on Sept. 11, 2001, be removed from lockers, WCBSTV reported.
