Him: “Civilians shouldn’t have AR-15s!” Me: Didn’t serve, or oath-breaker? Him: “I was a tank commander!” Me: All you had to say was “oath-breaker”. Him: “I am an American.” Me: Did you magically become a tank commander without swearing an oath to defend the Constitution? Or did your oath come with an expiration date? If […]

Conversations with Wannabe Despots 06JUNE18
From Twitter (paraphrased for brevity and clarity): Them: “Public businesses have to be open for the whole public!” Me: It was a private business. Them: “Conservatives never consider that businesses are supported by police and fire departments. No business is an island.” Me: If anyone had the choice to opt out, that would be a […]
Hamophobes
“So, how did you like the tuna salad sandwich at that new deli?” “Well, it wasn’t tuna salad.” “Yes, it was! It said so right on the menu!” “Well, it was made with ham. That makes it ham salad, not tuna salad.” “You’re just afraid of change! You’re intimidated by things that challenge your tiny […]
On Film Adaptation (Inspired by Tarzan)
Look, it’s very simple. If you don’t WANT to do a movie about Tarzan, don’t call your movie “Tarzan”. Say it was “inspired by” Tarzan. Conversely, if you call your movie “Tarzan”, then make it a faithful adaptation of the source material. And since Hollywood has officially run out of people intelligent enough to write […]
Good-bye, Republican Party
I held my nose last election and voted for the “moderate” Republican to block Obama from another term, but voting for a Clinton-loving liberal to keep a Clinton out of office is an exercise in futility. Republicans, you had the most principled conservative since Calvin Coolidge, and you threw him away. Trump says he doesn’t […]
Current Election Thoughts
Donald Trump gets less plausible by the day. Rubio lost almost all respect from me through his de-facto endorsement of John Kasich “to stop Trump” (laughable on several levels). Cruz continues not only to be an exemplary Presidential candidate, but the only worthwhile Presidential candidate.

Conversations with Gun-Control Lunatics
Paraphrased for brevity and clarity: —– Me: Not that human rights should ever be negotiable, but if gun-control were really effective at saving lives, why is the murder rate so high in Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun control in the nation? Her: The crime in Chicago is high because of guns brought […]
Wounded Warrior Project is a Waste of Money
Just in case you didn’t know. They reject anything to do with firearms, knives, or Christian charities–the largest communities which support veterans. And the very things that veterans have fought to protect. Only about half of their donations actually go to veterans; the rest go to executive salaries, parties, and marketing. If you really want to […]
