Good Hunters Don’t Need Assault Weapons

You can get this free bumper sticker by making a contribution to Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

By putting this sticker on your car, you can help convince thousands of people that the NRA is lying when it claims to represent hunters.

The link GunOwnersForReform.com takes you to a Progressive Change Campaign Committee’s web site for a petition.

When the deer, bears, and birds start shooting back, perhaps it is a sign that Mother Nature wants you to stop hunting rather than buying an assault weapon. Of course, if you are hunting other hunters and they shoot back, is that called playing on a level playing field?


“Hubris”: New Documentary Reexamines the Iraq War “Hoax”

Mother Jones has the article “Hubris”: New Documentary Reexamines the Iraq War “Hoax”.

The film highlights a Pentagon document declassified two years ago. This memo notes that in November 2001—shortly after the 9/11 attacks—Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld met with General Tommy Franks to review plans for the “decapitation” of the Iraqi government. The two men reviewed how a war against Saddam could be triggered; that list included a “dispute over WMD inspections.” It’s evidence that the administration was seeking a pretense for war.

The gist of most of the comments on the article is “Well, I knew from the get go that this was a hoax.” I put myself in that camp. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a post somewhere on this blog that makes that clear.
