Eco-Freaks Want to Ban Lead in Ammo, Shot, and Fishing Sinkers

August 28th, 2010 · No Comments

It seems that there are no scientific studies that show that eating meat from hunted animals leads to any kind of lead poisoning or deleterious effects from the ammo. (See 600 years of world history where the lead bullet used for hunting sustained the lives of countless millions.)

Interesting Video Protesting the Ground Zero Mosque

August 24th, 2010 · No Comments

You might want to watch this video about the proposed mosque at Ground Zero. While it is definitely anti-mosque, it expresses the feelings of most Americans, I think.

Is Islam Simply a Religion, or is it a Theocracy?

August 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Islam is also a theocracy by the institution of ruling bodies of religious clerics representing by Imams, and other ruling religious figures. Examples that readily spring to mind are the government of Iran, and the former Taliban government of Afghanistan.

Obama and America’s Religious Freedom: Ground Zero Mosque

August 14th, 2010 · No Comments

Maybe you should step in and say that Americans should be able to wear religious jewelry, post religious pictures and objects at their place of work, and that school children should be able to wear clothing with religious pictures and sayings on them. Apparently, it all works for Islam (Muslims may wear headscarfs), but not for Christianity or Judaism.

Oregon State Legislature Votes to Allow Religious Garb (Hijab) in the Classroom.

June 30th, 2010 · No Comments

The prime example used was the hijab, or Islamic head scarve. I guess other examples would be the turbans of Sikhs, the yarmulke and prayer sash of Jews, and the robes of Catholic nuns, friars, and priests. Of course, you can’t wear a t-shirt with the American Flag on it on May 5th.

Randallstown, Maryland is 1500th Visitor. Post Falls, Idaho is 1501.

May 29th, 2010 · No Comments

Unfortunately, it is hard to get a feel for because all the webpages I looked at have a real aversion to photos. Seems nothing is pretty enough to use as attention grabbers. However, this is probably because someone in charge of webpages just isn’t into pictures but is into information.

Hillary, Government, and “Intimate Issues”.

April 1st, 2010 · No Comments

Of course she was speaking about abortion. If she really believes this, then how can she support government intrusion on such an intimate issue as personal health care and insurance? Sounds like she is lying about one or the other.

Five European Nations Favor a Ban on Burkas

March 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

This change in numbers indicates clearly that the ban is not aimed at religious items, but is a backlash against the very rigid Islamic takeover of Europe. And it is a dedicated, determined, and insidious invasion that will succeed as long as the European, and eventually American nations, succumb to the liberal babble about the rights of the minorities and immigrants.

Obama, Church, and Basketball

January 31st, 2010 · No Comments

However he feels about the inconvenience, it apparently doesn’t extend to college basketball where he joked with the broadcasting crew while attending a game at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC.

A Guest Review of CNN Review of AVATAR

January 12th, 2010 · 1 Comment

I never saw a movie about a more beautiful place and
how horrible this place is, because there just aren’t any about
post-destruction society movies or places portrayed in movies that are
more beautiful than ours.
