One of the things that drives me crazy about hippies is that they will believe just about anything, so long as it is presented as being an alternative to “western medicine” and the powers that be. I remember one guy trying to tell me that by touching this quartz crystal that he had “charged”, [...]

Mike Piccione, the current editor of Guns& Patriots had this to say in a recent email:

“My bedside combo is a Taurus PT 101 in .40 S & W and a Pelican LAPD light or a SureFire C2. When it comes to bedside firepower I like a .40 or .357 or more. As my colleague W. [...]

This Time blog discusses a recent airing of the Glenn Beck program where Beck attempts to claim that Jesus hates victims and that the Jews killed him.

“If Jesus was a victim he would have come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did.”
Uh, yeah. OK. So to be [...]

This was the intro to the most recent Guns & Patriots newsletter:
“Hey Gunners,

Does our power to control the federal government rest in our ability to control individual states? Yes.

How?

Through a process called nullification. Let’s assume that the federal government does not have a monopoly on what is considered Constitutional. The states have an obligation to [...]

What is it with conservatives and their childish addiction to vulgur patriotic displays? It’s not enough for these people, that you simply be, you have to scream and shout it to the world, non-stop. You have to wear flare. Anyone who doesn’t is a disgrace to America. Hell, some folks at [...]

Today, I thought I might quote the beginning of a “Guns and Patriots” newsletter. It’s worth it.
“Hey Gunners,

The new Guns and Patriots sub-newsletter of Human Events is out and there is a delightfully silly article by Jennifer Kendell entitled “Illegal Immmigrants are Career Criminals.”. It’s basically another poorly reasoned argument against any sort of amnesty for illegal immigrants and for stationing more troops at the southern border. This time, [...]

I would like to take a short break from making fun of conservative columnists in this space, to write about a story that just skipped off the surface of my own social atmosphere. A friend of a friend was driving with her two children a few months ago, and was pulled over for a [...]

The past year has seen Human Events add a new sub-newsletter, Guns & Patriots, another unasked for but most beautemous gem of conservative trash journalism. Care to guess what it’s about? Patriotic bodybuilders? Nice try. It’s actually chock full of phallic gun worship and military fetishism with columns by the likes of Oliver North. [...]

I don’t have time to fully dissect Anne Coulter’s most recent column for Human Events, but I will make a couple of quick points.
First off, it should be noted that the Constitutional rights of would be Times Square car bomber Faisel Shahzad were not “granted” by anybody, they are merely guaranteed by the U.S. government. [...]
