Some thoughts on (some) libertarians and the confederacy. As he points out, the south wasn’t opposed to a large centralized government — they just wanted to have one of their own to continue to enforce slavery.

Gun Control
Why gun owners are right to fight it:
The anti-gun crowd doesn’t want “compromise.” They want confiscation and control.
Exactly right. When they tell you they don’t want to take your guns away, they’re lying. In order to take your guns away.
Stand-Your-Ground Laws
As Glenn says, Hollywood dumbasses.
In addition to his points, a) there’s nothing wrong with stand-your-ground laws and b) the Zimmerman case had nothing to do with stand your ground.
These morons just can’t stand the notion that people should be able to defend themselves.

Hey, remember when Barack Obama supported stand-your-ground laws? Well, neither does he. To repeat: dumbasses.
[Update a while later]
OK, you’ll be as unsurprised as I am to learn that John McCain has decided to become one of the dumbasses.
Lea Thompson
OK, so what am I missing? Can anyone explain it to me other than the pathetic geeks? (Sorry, the discussion is in comments, though the movie review is about as entertaining as one might expect from DDay).
Good Timing
Those Al Qaeda terrorists sure picked a good news day to bust out of prison in Iraq.
This is why we have Gitmo.
“A National Conversation”
…about complete crap:
President Barack Obama has already increased our national debt somewhere between five and six trillion dollars and shows no sign of stopping. Maybe that’s why women clutch their purses when he gets in an elevator.
Heh. RTWT.
Reforming NASA
It’s not going to happen this year.
Sadly, he’s probably right. We’re going to waste at least another two to four billion dollars on SLS before it’s canceled.
Public-Sector Unions
They’ve been making war on us for decades and, as FDR said, they should be abolished as an atrocity against the taxpayer.
[Update a few minutes later]
This seems related: how the National Labor Relations Act was written by a stealth communist.
Color me shocked. It’s one of those many federal laws that need repealing.
Saving ObamaCare
Is that what all the race baiting is about?
Let’s Repeal Some Laws
I’m shocked to find myself in agreement with John Boehner:
House Speaker John Boehner says Congress “should not be judged on how many new laws we create” but on “how many laws … we repeal.”
Yes. We have too damn many federal laws, more (as he notes) than we have the resources to enforce and more than are needed to make all of us multiple felons every day. I’ll vote for the guy who promises to gut the federal code. Moreover, the notion that we should judge a legislator’s record on how many laws he passes (or has his/her name attached to) is as stupid as judging a diplomat on how many treaties he signs. The quality of the output is much more important than the quantity.
