Video of the day: Armed Vs Unarmed Victims

Further to my previous post, somebody gave me this link and I think it’s worth sharing here:

Remember. In this country there really isn’t any legal way to forcibly defend yourself against vicious cunts. You try using Kung-fu against somebody brandishing a Machete or a shot-gun.

Hand-Guns should be legal. The ban punishes property owners and rewards vicious criminals.

In the UK it is almost sacrilege to suggest that the 1997 Hand-Gun ban was anything less than a triumphant step towards a utopian peace. Over here comedians, pundits, papers and television routinely mock the USA for it’s gun culture; we are more enlightened, more “progressive” is the underlying sentiment.
But as anybody with any common sense could [...]

You can’t fight violence with violence

This is an important point, and this article addresses it perfectly:

Video of the day: Will Hunting had it right 14 years ago

My favourite scene from Good Will Hunting and pertinent to the principles of liberty in its condemnation of killing people abroad who have done no harm to you personally. Taken to it’s logical conclusion this belief should lead anybody who holds it to a pure libertarian position; though most won’t, of course.

Video of the day: John Stossel – More guns less crime?

Very good episode this week, and definitely worth watching and sharing with any gun-fearful Europeans you might know. Pay special attention to part 7 where the we here in the UK get a cameo appearance!

Today Is the Day Obama Promised We Would Be out of Iraq

Of course his words were foggy and he wasn’t specific as to how many would be left for “specific tasks” but if you knew the number to be closer to 100,000 than 5,000 today would a fair interpreter colour his words as lies? Of course the news that politicians lie should not surprise anybody by now, but [...]

Video of the day: Obama Slightly Worse Than Bush On Foreign Policy

Andrew Napolitano interviews Angela Keaton of antiwar.com to discuss Obama’s war credentials. She concludes that Obama is actually slightly worse than Bush. Yes leftists, you might have felt good voting for Obama and supporting his “change” mandate but unfortunately you got DUPED. The man is ESTABLISHMENT through and through, and if you find the idea [...]

Tony Blair is irrelevant, the state is continuing indefinite war now!

I haven’t at all been following this Iraq Inquiry business, but it makes me laugh how seriously people take it.
I will predict it now: Tony “I’d do it again” Blair will suffer no real consequences for the genocide he helped to create. This whole thing is a charade.
That said I know nothing about it. All [...]

Gordon Brown is a Fucking Idiot (or how I learned to stop worrying and love indefnite killing and war)

The BBC Reports:
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said mid-2011 should be the deadline for “turning the tide” in the fight against insurgents in Afghanistan.
Now I’m a cynical guy, but even I thought “Turning the tide” was just a euphemism and that it stood for something concrete, some real, tangible promise (that he could then [...]
