Straight Shooting

If the President’s hijinks seem too small for national discussion, that’s because they are. However, focusing on them isn’t petty; it’s a result of Obama’s seemingly reflexive tendency to lie, even when telling the truth would be easier.

Pimpin’ With Bob

Hands off the President, Hillary. An inconvenient child. And meeting girls with Senator Menendez. All this — plus — cold crimes with Christie Hefner. Presented in 1080 hi-def; FOR FREE! It’s The Great Eight, from the Personal Liberty Digest™!

Yes, Ma’am!

While I fully understand the desire to preserve some semblance of gender roles in an increasingly confused society, I struggle to comprehend the idea that women are somehow unable to perform properly in a firefight because they’re using different plumbing.

Playing 20 Questions With The Commander In Chief

What if I could interrupt one of President Barack Hussein Obama’s secret skeet-shooting sessions for a little verbal one-on-one? What questions would I pose to the most deliberately opaque President in American history?

Life Comes Last

If half a million people march for life on Washington, D.C., and the media pretend not to hear them, did they still make a statement in defense of the unborn? The corporate media flacks and their Democratic overlords would likely respond: “Did you hear about the college football player and his fake girlfriend?”

Feinstein’s Got A Gun!

Obama struggles with the oath. McCarthy makes the streets safe for madmen. And: Do crocodiles cry Hillary tears? All this, plus: Can we get back our deposit on the Death Star? Presented in 1080 hi-def, FOR FREE! It’s The Great Eight, from the Personal Liberty Digest™!

The Divine Right Of Obama

Barack Obama literally swore to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” on an actual stack of Bibles. The arrogance to do so with a straight face, despite it being an affront to Nation, office and Almighty God, sets the bar at a whole new level.

Aiming For Failure

Just a month after the Newtown, Conn., massacre and just days after Obama signed his oath- and Constitution-violating executive orders (behind a wall of yet more defenseless tots), one of his top lieutenants admitted that Obama’s plan is about as likely to work as a sizable number of his voters.

Obama’s Gun Show

They’re so cute when they’re being exploited. Finally, a job Holder can handle. And meet the Army, Senator Feinstein. All this, plus, a REPUBLICAN joke! Presented in 1080 hi-def, FOR FREE! It’s The Great Eight, from the Personal Liberty Digest™!

Armed And Serious

Observing Gun Appreciation Day strikes me as a bit on the juvenile side. It’s almost as if the celebrants will be throwing an exceptionally noisy tantrum. It also undersells the importance of the central issue: making private firearm ownership a bone of contention instead of the symbol of American unity it should be.
