Welcome to Tony Island blog! As Newtown, CT continues to recover from the recent tragic events there, many Leftists are taking the opportunity to turn this into a power grab and further erode our Constitutional protections. Instead of looking into why these things happens, they only look into the "how". They conveniently forget that Timothy McVeigh didn't use a gun to do his mass murdering nor did the 9/11 terrorists - yet the murders committed on those two days were far higher than Newtown. This isn't to belittle the recent tragedy nor to play a numbers game of who's bigger than who. It's merely to put things into perspective. Banning guns really isn't going to stop psychotic people from committing crimes - on the same day as the Newtown tragedy, there was a report that a man in China had slashed upwards of 20 school age children - I'm not sure if there were any deaths reported. The reason he used a knife? China strictly controls guns. So, like th...

Welcome to Tony Island blog! In Here Come the Black Helicopters!: UN Global Governance and the Loss of Freedom  Dick Morris and Eileen McGann bring to light how Obama plans to use various UN treaties (being negotiated or voted on now) to strip Americans of the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution. I find Dick Morris' books interesting. I liked this one as it discusses a subject that really isn't being covered much in other conservative books but is important to keep your eye on as it has far reaching consequences for Americans if these treaties are adopted by the Federal government.

Welcome to Tony Island blog! I couldn't sum up the book any better than the book's Amazon.com description: "If the government exists to serve us, and if freedom is part of our humanity, how can the government take freedom from us?  Is human freedom in America a myth, or is it reality?  The United States of America was born out of a bloody revolt against tyranny.  Yet almost from its inception, the government here has suppressed liberty.  Within the pages of  It Is Dangerous to Be Right When the Government Is Wrong: The Case for Personal Freedom , New York Times best-selling author Judge Andrew P. Napolitano lays out the case that the U.S. government, whose first obligation is to protect and preserve individual freedoms, actually does neither."  Judge Napolitano writes with passion and it shows in this book. He gives example after example of how the Federal government has gone beyond the bounds to restrict our freedoms. I strongly recommend reading thi...
