Letter: Disarming
Every time you anti-gunners bash the NRA, you prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you know little of what you speak. You actually might try something novel and research what the NRA stands for as a whole and not pick and choose which (out of context) statements you respond to and regurgitate the Regime's talking points. But tt violates the two most basic tenets of Liberals: 1. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story and 2. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Letter: Support gun laws
voevoda,
If you think the Second Amendment is vague and grammatically awkward, maybe you need to resume your studies in the English language. You might also want to learn the definition of militia, in what year(s) the Constitution was ratified, and in what year the Militia Act was passed.
Do you want to know the biggest problem with "sensible limits" on gun ownership? Prior to 1968, there were few gun laws on the books. You could open a Sears and Roebuck or Montgomery Wards catalog, call the order center, and give a page number, an item number, and a charge card number to the operator and within days, the firearm you ordered would be delivered by truck to your home. In 1968, gun owners, in the spirit of compromise, acquiesced to the anti-gun crowd and offered little resistance to the Gun Control Act of 1968. And the gun-grabbers were happy...until 1969 when they wanted more gun control laws. The same thing happened in 1970, 71, 72, ...1980...1990...2000...2010, 2011, 2012. So the biggest obstacle to "sensible limits" is how your definition of "sensible limits" changes and gets more restrictive every year.

Owner of daycare shut down after police raid appeals state order
I can understand how the owner of the daycare can be shut down, but I can't understand how a police raid can appeal a state order. Jeez!

Town will take cross off its seal

Town will take cross off its seal
No where in the Constitution does it say anyone can be free OF religion. You are free to follow which ever religion appeals to you or none if you choose...and so am I. If you are offended by religious symbols, tough! I am not. Just what is it about religious symbols that scare Liberals? Just another example of inferior mentalities thinking they are superior.

Opinion: Voter racism is hard to prove
Well, at least one of us believes that.

Opinion: Voter racism is hard to prove
For those of you who scream "racism" just because someone disagrees with Obama, perhaps you should go back and read what racism is. And while you're at it, go back and re-read your history. If you do, check to see which political party promoted civil right for decades before the 1967 Civil Rights Act. Read about which political party fought against civil rights. Research what President Lyndon Johnson said about the new voting block after passage of that act. Discover which political party advocates making school easier, thereby promoting the dumbing down of America to keep people dependent on the government because they never learned how to solve problems or improve their lot in life. Then tell me exactly how that practice is not promoting economic slavery. Once you do all of that, then I challenge you to prove how I am a racist simply because I don't care for the direction Obama has taken this county.

Kansas man dies after police use Taser on him
So 57, you automatically assume it was the Tazer that killed him. Might I inquire about your medical degree?
I wasn't there and I don't know if it was or was not the Tazer that caused the death, but what I do know as a law enforcement defensive tactics instructor for over 30 years is that there is quite often underlying circumstances in the death of a suspect during a police encounter. One of the more common effects is that the suspect was out of shape, generally near obese, with the introduction of some sort of illegal or overly abused drug or alcohol in his system, combined with over exertion (in this case running from and resisting the police, and causing too much stress on the suspect's heart (heart attack).
I also know there is little to no amperage created by a Tazer making electrocution quite unlikely.
Now, I do not know for a fact that this was the situation in this incident just as you do not know for sure it was the Tazer that caused his death. But I doubt the facts will matter to you.

Editorial: Carry concerns
Hot flash folks! Kansas has always been an open carry state. Still haven't seen those wild west shootouts that never really occurred as often as Hollywood would have you believe.

Romneys paid $1.94 million in fed taxes for 2011
I find it funny as Hell that the Libs are whining about Romney's tax returns when the only question that came up about them was Harry Reid claiming he "heard" some guy say Romney didn't pay his taxes. It is also quite hypocritical to make these claims when their "Annointed One" refuses to release so many of his own records.
