Dissecting Knife Violence

In Stop The Madness-Lock Up The Knives, Post blogger Mitch Mulhall takes a look at some fresh examples of knife violence and proposes seven sure-fire measures to wipe out knife violence for good. "Death by stabbing is all too common," Mulhall writes. "If only it were it possible to limit knife ownership, we could curb this unnecessary form of violence. Although I would personally like to see as many civilian-owned knives eliminated from mainstream society as possible, I realize that this is not a politically realistic goal... my own, seven-point plan for knife control, if adopted, can help put an end to knife violence once and for all."

Importing Constant Competition Against Our Own Citizens

On my radio show, “Connecting the Dots” at www.republicbroadcasting.org on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, I interview leaders, followers and innovators across America concerning the plight of immigration and overpopulation. A national audience calls in with stories, frustrations and anger at what’s happening to our country.

Spittin' back on the Spitzer

As I reported on Wednesday, Sept. 26, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer issued an executive order that would allow illegal aliens residing in the state to receive driver's licenses. Since that report, all hell has broken loose....

Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's Sanctuary Policy for Illegal Aliens getting Coloradans Killed

Last month, in Newark, New Jersey, two illegal aliens executed three college-bound teenagers. Both men, members of MS-13, sported rap sheets as long as a football field. Illegal alien Carranza, featuring 31 indictments, raped a five year old girl. Illegal Godinez distributed drugs. Both enjoyed freedom via bail bonds while escaping deportation through Newark’s Mayor Cory Booker’s “Sanctuary Policy.” Booker allows illegal aliens to remain immune from police discovering their immigration status. Instead of deportation, they may roam free on American soil.

Our two-Tiered System of Laws

At one time aliens had to demonstrate “good moral character” to qualify for citizenship, but not any more. That’s because we now live under the tyranny of a two–tiered system of laws, one that gives a pass to foreign criminals and another that holds citizens legally accountable for their actions. I have had official documents in my hands that showed a convicted criminal alien who served time in prison for child molestation was rewarded with U.S. citizenship. It’s the New American Dream.

When the laws do not protect you, enjoy them, right.

The roots of today’s holiday go back to May 1, 1884, when the Federation of Organized Labor passed a resolution declaring that eight hours would constitute a full and legal workday. Back then workers were routinely forced to toil far longer, slaving to barely feed and house themselves and their families. No surprise that the resolution gained widespread support with the working class.

Scientific Study Suggests People of Aspen "Generally Trustworthy"

I now enter the fifth year of a very significant social experiment. It is an experiment, I believe, conducted for the purpose of restoring faith in my fellow human being, a faith, which prior to moving to Colorado, had been completely extinguished.

In part, the idea of trust is what initially attracted me to Aspen. Aside from the vast beauty of this Rocky Mountain playground, I felt that the people who lived in Aspen were different. They were kind. They were compassionate. Complete strangers would introduce themselves, strike up conversation, and even go out of their way to help you.

Sheriff Bob Officially Supports Felon

Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis is no stranger to criminals--does the name Montgomery Chitty ring a bell?--and that is perhaps as it should be for an officer of the law. But even his most slavish supporters of the new-age Sheriff may have to admit he has gone too far this time.

On official Pitkin County letterhead, Braudis wrote a letter in support of convicted felon Bert Fingerhut for his Mountain Rescue Aspen volunteer activities. Braudis also admitted he barely knew Fingerhut.

Bruno Told the Truth

Police Chief and 7-Eleven Didn't  

Bruno Kirchenwitz, the Basalt the 7-Eleven clerk who was fired by 7-Eleven for supposedly challenging the gang bangers who (probably) were responsible spraying five bullets into that store, did not in fact “bring it on” himself.  
7-Eleven is claiming in large part that Burno was fired because he, in his verbal exchange with the attempted murderer(s), supposedly said to them, “Bring it on,” thereby inviting the attack.

7-Eleven says the Basalt police chief told the company that’s what Bruno said to the goons. Burno has been saying all along that he told the chief that he had only thought “bring it on,” and that he never offered to fight or in any other way challenged the gangsters.    
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is now out. Bruno was given a polygraph by one of the state’s top polygraphists, and he was shown to have answered truthfully to questions specific to the allegation made by the chief and by 7-Eleven. Bruno has been vindicated. I wonder if the chief and the liars at 7-Eleven would be willing to sit for a polygraph?
The cost of the polygraph was paid for by Denver radio station KHOW. The results were announced on the Peter Boyles Show, the number one talk radio show on the Front Range To listen online to the report from the polygraphist and Bruno’s reaction to the results, go to: www.khow.com ; click on “Shows”; click on The Peter Boyles Show”  click on

Vigilantes In Our Midst

Since everyone is so hip on guns these days, let’s take a page from the Wild West and enact a policy that would make Wyatt Earp proud. The mandate could read as follows: “If you dare mess with the law, you’ll be dealt with. Not in the court of law, but immediately. In the bar, on the street, in the alley. Tried, convicted, dead and boxed all within a few minutes.”

We’ll encourage the good citizens of this valley to carry guns, as well, giving them full permission to take the law into their own hands if the situation so dictates. I’ve always wanted to wear a holster stuffed with a loaded six-shooter. I’m getting excited just thinking about the potential. I’ll dust off my “Billy The Kid” hat, slip on a pair of dingo boots and some chaps. In the winter I’ll wear a long dusty trench coat, or better yet, a shawl like Clint Eastwood in “The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly.” I’ll smoke thin cigars or chew incessantly on a tooth pick. If someone steps out of line, well, I might just pop a cap in their punk ass.

Life, Death & The Sopranos

This week I read that the final episode of the acclaimed HBO series, Sopranos, had created a “controversy.”

“A controversy?” I thought. “How so? Does Tony whack his whiny little bitch of a son? Do they put Carmella in a pair of concrete boots and toss her into the Hudson?” Though curious, I did not read beyond the headline. I wanted to see this controversial final episode for myself.
