"The Pink Pistols, a pro-gun organization of gays. "Thirty-one states allow all qualified citizens to carry concealed weapons. In those states, homosexuals should embark on organized efforts to become comfortable with guns, learn to use them safely and carry them. They should set up Pink Pistols task forces, sponsor shooting courses and help homosexuals get licensed to carry. And they should do it in a way that gets as much publicity as possible."

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) is widely perceived to be a rogue agency that openly ignores the constitutional rights of Americans. When this is brought to the attention of those in power, the response is usually, "Prove it!". The information in these Web pages do not 'prove' that the BATF is a rogue agency but it does present a lot of incidents. Study the information here, do some research if you wish, and then make your own decision about what kind of agency the BATF really is.

From the official history of the American Beer Drinkers' Party: "November 4, 1997 : Lakewood, Ohio; At Around the Corner bar, over a beer, two great Americans start the one and only American Beer drinkers party. Talking about the issues, they discovered one simple truth about American politics. On most issues, both sides are wrong, and even if one side seems right, they probably have ulterior motives. (Is that two truths)(sic)" Stout fellows! We'll drink to that.
The Wyoming Republican Party: The party of Big Government as Usual. The slow socialist party. The Slow Democrats
We weren't even sure there is a Democratic Party in Wyoming until we found their web page. The party of More Government As Usual. The fast socialist party. The party of whats-his-name who invented the Internet, and who has now retired to some state he's never visited before, like Tennessee.
Then there's the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party (LNSGP). We're not making this one up. But maybe someone else is? Note: in spite of the name and claims on the web page, the LNSGP is not related in any way to the Libertarian Party. For one thing we see many proposals in the platform which clearly run against the LP's Pledge. (Do you believe everything you read on the Web?) Besides, they show absolutely no sense of humor, a clear indicator.

- To encourage participation in activism projects, and to promote membership in men's rights organizations which coordinate activism efforts and serve as a supportive network for men."
The DUI Gulag: "Drunk driving is stupid, dangerous, unacceptable, criminal behavior. We all agree that drunk driving is bad…but what happens when our DUI laws reach the point where hundreds of thousands of American citizens are being criminalized each year for 'drunk driving' even though they were not impaired at the time of their arrests? What happens when our laws reach the point where eating yeast bread or a pack of M&Ms can produce an Intoxilizer reading that results in a citizen being arrested for DUI?"
Western Folklife Center, "Cowboy poets on the Internet." Cowboy poetry is a true North American art, like jazz. Except it is done by rednecks, which may be why it flies under pop culture's radar.
