I agree with you Mr. Elrey. People should be required to take a class in order to publicly carry firearms. These are serious tools and have to be treated seriously. There are many people I would be comfortable around who carry weapons but God help us if it becomes too "cool" to be seen with a weapon and people start ...

The vigorous bigotry towards Christians is pretty intense, but not surprising. The Jesus you're all talking about also said his followers would be persecuted and ostracized for their beliefs. So there's that... The miltant LGBT crowd and defenders of their "preferential rights" are swimming in an ocean of cash and grea...

I would not "ignore" observations because they were anecdotal. They are just a survey of one. For example, none of my friends are voting for Trump. That's worthless in the scheme of things. You might enjoy o4sr: http://www.o4sr.org/

Karan: You're correct, Dan was undoubtedly being facetious. He was also being "tongue-in-cheek." Tanners also stunk of their jobs. They used animal urea, and let it turn into ammonia, to cure hides with.

I have no connection to Saffron Colonial, so I can't really answer your question, can I? I suppose they named it "Saffron Colonial" because they liked the name. It's not like they named it "Three Cheers for Colonial Oppression Cafe." But why do you feel like you need to tell people which words they're allowed to use? B...

I just wish people of color could be afforded the same benefit of doubt that this young man was given. He is lucky he is not poor, black and living on the wrong side of the tracks. Otherwise he might be dead or badly injured. While I don't wish the police had done anything different, I do think $5000 bail is very low.

My impoverished mother scraped to send my brother and I to Catholic schools whenever we lived near one.

I am Catholic and don't believe in mixing church and state, but churches shouldn't be sued for standing up for what they believe and people shouldn't be so greedy and selfish to ask for one to do so, the answer is no, go find some where else. It's that simple. Don't ask don't sue.

Decrying the choice of words by a politician you hate by upping the ante into a full-on frontal vilification of that individual seems like an odd way to lay claim to any moral or intellectual high ground. In fact, the urge to retch just might be bile's way of rejecting its host. Carry on.

Oh, why not throw in my example as well: Imam al-Husayn ibn 'Ali (alayhimus-Salaam), the younger grandson of the Most Noble Messenger Muhammad (Allahumma saali alaa Muhammadan wa alaa Ah'lii Muhammad), admonished us not to betray those who betray us. And he lived and died by that.

Any charity will have to await the damage and destruction by the Alaska Legislative majority. So far, according to the Rassmusen Foundation and GCI they are sending us straight to the State disaster of the 1986 depression when all but two Banks failed and the State lost millions.

A long long time ago Alaska should have decentralized the power of the purse from the State Legislature to local governments. Areas that have created local governments are now very use to (dare I say dependent) on revenue sharing (e.g. bond offsets of 50% to 70%). Also, vast areas of Alaska have refused to create lo...
