"Bad Cops Took My Grandpa,"
Said 5 Year Old, Logan Klump
By Ed Ward, MD, MT

Logan, 5, believes bad cops took his grandpa, Luther "Wally" Klump, to jail. The child, like many of Americans, has no idea how tyrannical, bureaucratic and oppressive his government has become. Grandpa's cows are illegally grazing on the land that his grandfather's grandfather laid claim.

Since then, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has claimed the land and has fined Wally $300,000 and $5,000 more each day because some of his cows had their ear tags torn off by the rugged terrain. If a cow does not have an ear tag, that's a violation of BLM's grazing rights. Three violations and grazing rights can be canceled.

That's it. That's grandpa's big crime. Some of his cows lost their ear tags on land which his grandfather laid claim. For this, Wally, has had his bank account seized, his safety deposit box seized and the Department of (in)Justice is working on seizing the rest of his ranch after already having taken part of his grandfather's claim.

Many Thanks to the Fascists
by Bob Wallace

I must give thanks to those who post at Free Republic for adding to my knowledge of the psychology of fascism. And the psychology of Communism and Nazism, too, because the same kind of person is attracted to all three. Hitler, for example, gave orders that former Communists were to be admitted immediately to the Nazi Party; he understood there wasn't a hair's breadth of difference between an International Socialist and a National Socialist.

I don't mean to impugn all Freepers, just the 80% who don't have much education or brains, have problems spelling, think the stumble-tongued, mentally-limited dry-drunk chickenhawk George Bush and the misnamed Republican Party can do no wrong and are actually defending this country instead of damaging it, and who can do little more than hurl misspelled insults from behind fake names.

Libertarian Commentary on The Day's News
By Nathan A. Barton © 2004

These opinions are objective, and written by someone who is frequently involved to some degree with the events, society, and state, and therefore there is a potential "contamination" and bias involved. People reading these opinions may suffer certain side-effects, including anger, frustration, and itching in certain extremities. They do not necessarily reflect anyone's or any organization's point of view.

1- U.S. senators introduce huge intel reform in '9/11 legislation'
GovExec.com
If we needed evidence that Congress is out of control and literally a madhouse, this is it. Like all the other panicked legislation since Bloody Tuesday, almost three years ago, this will contain page after page of gibberish "designed" to fix problems that may not be real, and will create a plethora of new problems - including (you can be sure) a huge attack on liberty in this nation and elsewhere. Pray this dies in committee. (Read the rest here)
