Three State Ballot Measures We Oppose
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Wed, 10/26/2016 - 4:38pmLast week we discussed the state ballot measure that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Nevada. We have mixed views on that issue, but there are three other important state ballot questions we oppose.
Question 1 would require background checks for almost all gun sales or transfers. That might sound harmless enough or maybe even beneficial to some folks. But it’s quite the opposite.
Measuring Liberty and Libertarians
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 10/25/2016 - 9:06amThe corrupt Clinton criminals are repeating this strategy of divide and conquer again in this election and every voter should understand that any Republican vote for third parties helps insure victory for the lollipop guild Hillary who is as intelligent, and honest, as she is tall. The Clinton's crime family rose to power using the divide and conquer assistance of Ross Perot. The Clinton's can win again with only a minority of votes because many voters split the electorate three ways.
Measuring Nuclear Insanity
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 10/21/2016 - 2:18pmThe Bulletin of Atomic Scientists indicates the doomsday clock is only three minutes left before nuclear war. There has never been a more dangerous time of nuclear confrontation than today. The administration has pursued the Obama/Hillary/Kerry policy of War Through Weakness rather than the Reagan Peace Through Strength policy that won the cold war. The question for a Hillary voter is; Will Mrs. Clinton sell the rest of our uranium just to earn another big payday for Bill from our enemies?
Measuring Lawless unConstitutional Insanity
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 10/18/2016 - 1:47pmSince the rise of the Clinton and Obama Regimes, the Constitution has been shredded by the office of the President. The Congress and the Supreme Court neither has the will nor the majorities needed to reign in the unconstitutional acts of the socialists who are subjugating our constitution and our nation. Foreign interests and money have flooded into our nation usurping the power of the people to rule their own nation.
Measuring Socialist Insanity
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Tue, 10/18/2016 - 8:51amThe question for a Hillary voter is; Have you learned nothing from eight years of Obamanation socialism and how can another four years of the same failed socialist squandering of taxpayer money ever change anything? Does anyone really believe that socialism will work if we squander more tens of trillions of taxpayer money? In 3700 years of recorded history socialist ideologies have been repeatedly tried and always resulted in the destruction of a nation followed by mass murder from tyrannical dictators. Socialism is slavery.
Measuring Feminist Insanity
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 10/14/2016 - 12:20pmA recent left wing CNN poll indicates that Trump is fifteen points above Hillary on the issue of trust. Some feminist organizations are generating the old divide and conquer smear campaigns to argue that the laws broken by the Clinton crime family should be ignored because Trump's politically incorrect genitals are not to be trusted. This argument makes about as much sense as suggesting that men and women need different forums such as 'women to women' or 'man to man'. This is the disreputable strategy of divide and conquer to pretend that men and women share nothing in common.

Elections and The Truth About Lying
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 05/27/2016 - 7:28amWhen I was young and idealistic, I endeavored to never lie. I thought it was a virtue. For the first twenty years of my life I seldom lied. But then I discovered that women think you are stupid if you don't lie. I first discovered the truth about lying to get laid. Women love liars and hate the truth.
Everybody lies. In fact, I am lying right now. Honest. I'm telling the truth about lying about lying. The only person I never lie to, is myself, except of course when I'm lying to myself.

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.
