The hazardous smoke is the Constitution up in flames

If Doyle gets his way we will be one step closer to Socialism and the abolishment of property rights. Don’t believe me, just look to the west and you will see that business losing property rights is just a stepping stone.

Ban the Ban at the Conservative Issues Fair!

Woodbury Insanity

Anti-smoking hysteria has reached heights of sheer madness in Woodbury, Minnesota, where the question being raised is whether the city should ban smoking in outdoor recreational areas.

Minnesota has illegal immigrants driving around slamming into school buses and killing children while these freaks are wringing their hands over a wisp of smoke in the out [...]

Good News from Minnesota!

Our friends on the other side of the river had a good time with their fundraier event this past weekend!

We [...]
