A plug, a plug: although Mama Liberty just published the article last week about JPFO’s “Goody Guns” I had already ordered several sets, some to use and some for gifts (great Thanksgiving or Christmas gifts). A pair came in on Friday, and the first batch of cookies (using JPFO’s kosher recipe) went over very well, especially among the younger set) at the monthly congregational pot-luck this afternoon. We didn’t bring any home, for sure. Debby and I intend to use them as one of the “standard” refreshments for training classes that we do, and for meetings of such things as Character Council, Local Emergency Planning Committees, and such. And I’m waiting for the revolver version. Now,
on to the news, where we start with an absolute stinker: Evil
government acts: Unfortunately, the evil men and women who destroyed this woman’s life and her family are all long dead, but this is a hideous reminder of the evil of government. NO government which does this can be considered to be “appointed of God” as found in Romans 13: yet there are millions of “Christians” who claim that we must obey the kinds of thugs who do this. Again, and again, and again. (Read the rest here) (2 full pages once more!)
Science
and Economics Vs Green (And Other) Nonsense
1. No "leading scientists" that I know of - a lot of political scientists, who are willing to play political games maybe. And the "environmentalists" are the environists: they've taken any mental effort out. 2. Hybrids are just that: they are not pure electric cars and cannot just be plugged in. In fact, most don't take electricity directly from power outlets: they use the gasoline or diesel engine to recharge their batteries. (Read the rest here)
Rudy
Giuliani shows his Ignorance of the Second Amendment During a town hall meeting in northwestern New Hampshire last week, presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani told a former police officer: "You have a constitutional right, that is protected, to bear and carry arms. It is the Second Amendment. If someone disagrees with that, you have to get the Constitution changed." Since Mr. Giuliani is a former federal prosecutor and these individuals' knowledge of the Constitution appears to be limited to reading court cases, the author decided to use a United States Supreme Court case to show prospective voters, who care about gun rights, that Giuliani is totally ignorant of the nature of the Second Amendment.

Dreamin' - A
False Flag Fire Drill Ashes were falling like snow across Southern California last week, as the Santa Ana winds blew in to fan the flames and a heat wave bore down. It was hot for everybody, no matter where they were; but for those fighting the fires it was hotter than hell. Folks wept at their losses and lamented that their beautiful landscape had become a desolate moonscape. The fires started on Sunday, Oct. 21, and they encircled their principal target of San Diego with military precision. You can't fault people for feeling like they're under attack when a natural disaster hits them. As the week wore on and the flames burned on, disturbing facts began to emerge to show that their feelings were right. (Read the rest here)
Failures
of Welfare Reform - Paternity Fraud (Part Two) In Part One of this series, we reviewed how the US Congress functionally transformed our welfare state into a child support state. Arguably the most despicable of the backlash effects of this enormous error are mechanisms that pay the states to promote, protect, and reward paternity fraud. Paternity Fraud is wrongly naming a man as the biological father of a child, and then forcing him to pay child support. When those unfamiliar with this issue first hear of the problem, the typical response is: “a DNA test will solve that.” Guess again. (Read the rest here)
Fatherland
Knows Best It’s hard to fathom what Cuba is really like for those who actually live there. In order to get a feel for living on the island I have for years incessantly quizzed my parents, grandparents and other Cubans who have recently escaped the Island gulag. So imagine a discussion between Franz Kafka and George Orwell going on within the mind of Timothy Leary while he is tripping on acid and watching Salvador Dali’s movie Un Chien Andalou. That is what life in Cuba is like for most Cubans today. Sending a child back to such a dark and convoluted environment perhaps borders on criminal, but who should ultimately decide where a child lives? The mother, the father, or the fatherland? Of these three who ultimately has the child’s best interest at heart? (Read the rest here)
Ready
for the Next Wave of Sex Abuse Hysteria? In 1994 a Child Protective Services official instructed his employees to dig up child sex abuse cases to justify the agency's budget. Before long 43 parents and Sunday school teachers in Wenatchee, Wash. had been arrested and charged with nearly 30,000 cases of sex abuse involving 60 children. It wasn't until four years and many ruined lives later that the Wenatchee witch hunt was exposed as a fraud. A decade later, we seem to be on the verge of another moral panic involving sex abuse, but this time with a new wrinkle: its perpetrators are as young as four years old. (Read the rest here)
"The
'Heart' of America" It is no coincidence that we placed the "heart" of America in America's Heartland. The "heart" certainly doesn't belong on the Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf Coast states. Because you see, the "heart" of America is embedded, for the most part, with people who are honorable, steadfast, self-reliant, independent, industrious, responsible and highly productive, that just happen to live on the land. The Heartland is mostly the red states. It consists of waving fields of grain, snow-capped mountains and rich valleys kept moist by a million creeks, rivers, lakes and marsh lands. And then there is the high desert where the cattle roam, that feeds our inescapable need for life-giving protein. (Read the rest here)

The Archives Assuming
Positions Allowing the state mechanisms of control over reproductive capacities may appear a good idea to pro-life people now, but doing so will serve the purposes of the state, and whoever controls the bulldozer of state policy. Regimes change. Abortion is a dreadful subject to tackle, and I tackle it reluctantly because I don't sense an honorable alternative. We were all babies once: does God, if He exists, know what He's allowing? I'm making observations, not assuming a position - or presenting an argument, not issuing judgment. I'll play lawyer, readers can play jury: whom shall we call on to play the part of judge? (Read the rest here)

FBI's Right to Threaten Torture A federal appeals court has concluded that an FBI agent must go to trial on charges he coerced a false confession out of a prime suspect in the 9/11 attacks. But the FBI still insists that its agent did nothing wrong. And the feds swayed the court to suppress that portion of a recent decision detailing how the FBI agent used the threat of torture to break an innocent man. Abdallah Higazy, a 30-year-old Egyptian student, arrived in New York City to study engineering at the Polytechnic University in Brooklyn on August 27, 2001. A U.S. foreign-aid program reserved and paid for his room at the Millennium Hilton Hotel, next to the World Trade Center. After the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center, Higazy hot-footed it out of the hotel. After the terrorist attack, the hotel was sealed. (Read the rest here)
The
Independent Institute MONTERREY, Mexico—Is global capitalism making the poor even poorer, or is it in fact rescuing millions of people out of their misery? I recently had the chance to participate in a series of debates here about this issue organized by Foreign Policy magazine and Letras Libres, a Mexican cultural publication. Nothing I heard at that meeting changed my conviction that the glass is half-full despite the doomsayers who predict horrific calamities. (Read the rest here)
Individual
Liberty - 101 [This article is taken from chapter 5 of The Betrayal of the American Right.] During World War I and the 1920s, "isolationism," that is, opposition to American wars and foreign intervention, was considered a Left phenomenon, and so even the laissez-faire isolationists and revisionists were considered to be "leftists." Opposition to the postwar Versailles system in Europe was considered liberal or radical; "conservatives," on the other hand, were the proponents of American war and expansion and of the Versailles Treaty.

External Articles How fashionable it is to love nature. Down with industry, development, internal-combustion engines, clear cutting, strip malls, and private ownership. Capitalists do nothing but ravage the beauty of mother earth. The hand of man only strangles and kills. If you agree with the above, you will love the fires that have driven half a million people from their homes in California, and destroyed 1,200 houses. President Bush is dumping your money in the form of aid on these suffering souls, and the flames rage on. (Read the rest here) (Read the entire article at the source website.
