A Cool Day In Texas

Once an almost painfully hip music and arts festival, South By SouthWest (SXSW) has morphed into another faux-hipster snotfest at which corporate-backed liberal icons indoctrinate smug twerps who might as well sport nametags that read “Hello, My Name Is: Low Information Voter.”

The Kentucky Derby

Let me call time-out for a moment and address the liberals who skulk around the dark corners of our comments section. I wonder if I might ask you for a teensy little favor: Please support Ashley Judd’s prospective candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Kentucky.

The Sequester Follies

The sequester was never more than a pittance, an empty symbolic gesture by the Washington political elite made solely for the purpose of calming the low-information masses who quiver with fear until their masters pat their heads.

Of The People, By The People And Against The People

Reportedly, a bipartisan group of four Senators is just a few dotted Is and crossed Ts from crafting legislation that would bar private sales of firearms without restrictions, including a background check and extensive transaction records.

Their War On Freedom: A Deconstruction

The full text of the 2nd Amendment reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” If only our current politicians could operate in such a straightforward manner.
