Groundhog Day for the Gun Controllers
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 10/11/2017 - 2:20pmWe were greatly saddened and angered by the October 1 attack launched by a terrorist from MGM’s Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas on the Route 91 Harvest Festival 2017 music concert.
The people we know who were at the concert all had left prior to the attack or managed to get away unharmed. But we have friends who lost people in this horrendous attack. And even folks who did not know anyone directly affected by this mass murder are rightly shocked, angered and troubled by it.

My Second Amendment
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 04/24/2016 - 1:20pmThe Constitution is the greatest achievement of man to date in defining a government to sustain Liberty for its people.

Of Pots Calling Kettles Black
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 12/09/2015 - 9:26amJames Smack says it can be quite difficult to have a conversation or state facts on public affairs television with today’s progressives of the Obama/Clinton/Sanders ilk. The statist liberal crowd is used to controlling media narratives, and they don’t brook dissent or facts and logic that undermine their control.
When a conservative brings up a valid point or question, they get flustered and angry. Instead of a thoughtful, constructive, respectful answer, the conservative often gets shouted down, not debated in a reasonable exchange between civilized discussants.
