Hobbs may have been a pessimist, but
Continue readingSome lessons seem almost impossible to learn in the abstract. Even if we know the hard truth, until it has an impact upon our own lives, we go merrily along, assuming that the worst will never happen and that, if it does, we’ll muddle through somehow. I’ve known a couple

In a standard pot-boiler, written for an American market brought up in public schools and addicted to Hollywood movies and television shows, there

The author is Larry Correia and, as a nice Jewish grandmother would say, he knows from guns. In other word, he’s writing from a position of factual strength. Correia’s post is a

Despite the fact that the majority of Americans agree with him, the drive-by media is excoriating

The voting divide as of now is pretty close: I voted yes, but not because I was thinking about the substantive issues (taxes increases, spending cuts, etc.). Instead, my “yes” vote resulted because
