Just a few...

Arizona Shooting Leads to Repeat of Inaccuracies

7:00am Monday, January 17, 2011
by Jim Shepherd Last weekend's shooting rampage in Arizona was a senseless crime against decency, and totally without reason. Trying to portray the actions of an obviously disturbed twenty-two year old shooter as anything other than the actions of a lunatic simply don't wash.

Loose cannons in the media are wrong to place blame for Tucson attack on anyone but the killer

7:00am Thursday, January 13, 2011
by Chad D. Baus Within minutes of learning of the tragic mass murder in Tuscon, Arizona last Saturday, the establishment media began shooting from the hip on who they thought was to blame. They knew nothing about the killer, but it was clear they were cocked and ready with a template that fit their jaded view of anyone who owns a gun. Reporters were loaded for bear. Without even a shred of proof...
