"The society which separates its scholars from its warriors, will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."–Thucydides
Senators Feinstein, McCain and others apparently sent a letter to the director of the CIA demanding a fact-check of a Hollywood movie. While I find the idea of fact-checking a work of fiction a bit ridiculous, I have to wonder why this movie in particulare was called on? Why wasn’t this level of Senatorial diligence/time …

My opinion on the birth control mandate: if you really feel justified in forcing other people to pay (read: stealing) for your birth control, I am perfectly happy to fund 100% of your abstinence. If you are unhappy with abstinence (100% effective as both a method of birth control and disease prevention), I might be …
Well, the big news of the day is the “fiscal cliff” negotiations. Despite the crushing national debt, the Democrats know that their majority will disappear as soon as they stop buying votes–so the best that has been done is to move the ‘fiscal cliff’ two months forward. In typical Progressivist fashion, CBS is reporting that …
In a Twitter conversation last night, I was directed to a pro-victim-disarmament “study by Harvard University”. The link I was to follow never opened, but I did find their most recent study on my own (and I certainly agree with the author’s conclusions). On the contrary, the Harvard Injury Control Research Center has collected abstracts …

Teach firearms safety in all schools. –Want to stop shooters from targeting schools? Make them hard targets. –Want a 40% increase in violent crime …
“Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms.” —Politics, Aristotle of Stagira, c. 350 B.C. Obviously, the issue of disarming citizens is not a new one. From my favorite hobby, hoplology, I know of several systems of martial arts which were created specifically in response to the disarming of …
For the past several days, I have been told that, as a member of the NRA, I “have blood on my hands”, and that I should, in fact, be killed for “wanting to arm teachers.” That stricter gun control was the only possible answer to the recent violent attacks. Let’s examine these ideas: Chicago, Illinois …
The American Left (laughably called “liberals”, but more accurately known as “Progressivists”) has spent the greater part of the last century attacking every vehicle of belief in our society. They have done horrible work in undermining our heroes, our patriotism, every religion (and Christianity in particular), and even the family itself. These are the people …
Before I begin this entry, I must mention that, while I was considering what to say, I passed an inmate on the telephone… teaching his child the Lord’s Prayer. Today is 21 Dec, 2012, the end of the Mayan calendar. Reflecting on the end of the world, I have chosen for today’s topic the so-called …
