My brother bought one about a year ago. Easier to swing than a cricket bat I suppose...

Really not keen on how the media are playing this person as a "Christian". Apparently, according to his manifesto, he talks about how he doesn't even believe in God or Jesus. He speaks of "Christian-atheism" and "Christian-agnostism", believing in a "Christian" culture but without the...

I heard one protester saying that this will be the situation for the Olympics next year. However, my main problem is how passive the police have been. It's almost like an overload of rules and regulations is stopping them from taking action. Many people are losing their businesses and...

Fantastic ad! Reminds me of Rand's ones. Make sure this is viewed by many GOP primary voters!

The thing is that marriage has an objective reality to it - it is the union of a man and woman. Bachmann doesn't want government to DEFINE marriage, she wants it to protect marriage. Think about it this way, if New York had just passed a bill decreeing that elephants were humans too, Bachmann...

It's interesting. I see that some (but probably many) libertarians recognize that the federal government is there to protect some unalienable truths and rights, like the right to speech, property etc., but apparently not others. What some libertarians here don't realise is that the basis for...

Hmm, if her ads are anything like this one, Iowa may become a walk in the park for Bachmann:

With regards to abortion, the science is settled and it supports the pro-life position. A new, unique human life is conceived at conception. Quite frankly, it's almost so obvious that you don't even need the science as support for the argument. The debate is really at the point of whether an...

Looks like a good Tea Party group. They have an entire section on the gold standard: http://www.teapartybustour.com/gold-standard/

But let's be honest, what does "independent" even mean? Is clowning around a partisan behaviour? It may well be that Beck brought in lots of "independents" and turned off lots of establishment conservatives who used to watch 5pm before Beck.

Technically speaking, until they gained independence, the founders were British. So in my opinion, Washington, Jefferson and co were the greatest British generation, as well as the greatest American generation :D

True. But if people want to attack fellow conservatives by smearing them with pictures (and in particular, ones pushed by the far-left of all people), then they should be ready to receive the same treatment. Anyone remember this embarrassing moment:

Alternative headline: "New York declares that the Earth is flat" The union between a man and woman is intrinsically different to that of a man and a man. For the government to decree the two "equal" shows the extent to which government is out of control. Government is there to protect liberty...

Hmm, lame... mainly because Bachmann wouldn't answer like that. The video is using caricatures of the woman based on things the liberal media have said about her and her husband. Sometimes I think there's a lot of latent misogyny out there in the media... particularly targetting conservative...
