Great quote about Liberals

-
I'd substituted the words "Liberal" and "Progressive" for "Democratic" but I like this quote, it is so true:

 “I vote [Liberal/Progressive], because I’m pro-choice … except on schools, guns, trade, health care, energy, smoking, union membership, light bulbs, plastic bags, Walmart, what kinds of food you can eat. …”

 Think about it.  Liberals oppose school choice.  They want to take away guns.  They want single payer health coverage - no choice for you.  Energy - limit the choices available for power supply.  Smoking - don't let people do it.  Unions - you must belong, no right to work laws.  And the same is true for all the other items on the list.

 The quote is from an article dated Feb. 3, by Walt Williams on the Human Events site (humanevents.com).

Gun Control thoughts

-
Thought #1 - In my opinion the most effective form of gun control is a gun in the possession of someone who respects the weapon and knows how to use it, and who also respects life and living things. Here in Montana, I like to say there are 5 guns for every person in the State.  I have no basis for that statement but guns are popular and easily obtained.  You would think, after hearing President Obama's speech this would be a recipe for routine massacres, yet that doesn't happen out here. Why is that?  Probably because people who own guns are raised from an early age to respect guns as a tool not a toy and educated on the proper use.  They also respect life and other people. The result is that in the 18 months I have lived here I can recall 2 instances of death by gun. Thought #2 - Unlike the "Right to Privacy" or the "Right to an abortion" or other rights people claim to have (and do for the most part), the "Right to Bear Arms" is explicitl...

War in Iran cheat sheet

-
Let's provide some clarity about issues that have been raised regarding the War in Iran.   1. The President's action is not illegal or unconstitutional. That's the opinion of Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), who said the War Powers Act "...has not been violated..."*1   The text of the War Powers Resolution, passed in 1975 requires: The President notify Congress before initiating action. The President provide briefings to Congress within 48 hours of action being initiated. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said those things were done. The position of both the Trump Administration and Sen. Fetterman was bolstered by video that surfaced from 2011 when then Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the Obama Administration did not violate the Constitution or the War Powers Act when it launched military operations in Libya.  Pelosi claimed the limited nature of the action justified her position, saying it would be different if there were "boots on the ground."  The Obama...

What the Republicans should do to address the problem

-
 In the previous post, I talked about how I think the Republicans are in trouble going into the 2026 elections.  Now let's talk about what I think they should do about it. Start by recognizing there is a problem.  I've heard Republican officials and some pundits say "well these were Blue states so its not surprising Democrats won."  I'm sorry - a Democrat AG candidate won after it was revealed he wished death on a legislator and the legislator's two kids.  I don't care what color is assigned to the State of Virginia - Republican Red or Democrat Blue - that shouldn't happen unless Republicans have a problem. After we admit we have a problem, look at why Democrats won.  In the New York Mayor's race, and the Governor races in New Jersey and Virginia, the winning candidates promised to fight President Trump.  We need to give people a reason to ask - why would you oppose what Trump is doing?  In NY and NJ, candidates promised to fix higher costs facing...
