National defense - Brain-dead leaders?
Biden
vs. Cheney on terror policy
Washington Post
Vice
President Biden and his predecessor, Richard B. Cheney, engaged in a
virtual debate Sunday that highlighted how little progress has been
made over the past year -- and across consecutive administrations -- in
resolving the central national security questions raised by the attacks
of Sept. 11...
Most of this squabble is pure
politics - the "outs" and the "ins" fussing. But it is important
to
remember that our national security has left its fundamentals,
abandoned its bedrock foundation: the simple statement: "A
well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
We all know that in the past nine years, we have departed still further
from this requirement. It is worth reading this brief
editorial
from
six years ago. Neither of these men bothered to go back to this. (Read

I
WISH JOE STACK HAD NOT KILLED HIMSELF
By Chuck Baldwin
I really wish Joe Stack had not killed himself,
however. We need each other. By taking his life, he reduced our
strength. The global elites delight in our demise. As we grow weaker,
they grow stronger.
But the fight is not over; the battle is not lost! Rumblings of
freedom's revival can be felt across the length and breadth of this
nation. The clanging of liberty's resolve can be heard in hamlets and
villages from Montana to South Carolina. There are still millions of
us--from virtually every walk of life--who will not surrender our
liberties without a fight! And we have not yet begun to fight!
So, to the rest of us Joe Stacks out there: let's not fly our planes
into buildings. Let's not end our lives prematurely. Instead, get mad;
get organized; get educated; start equipping your heart, mind, and body
for the battle ahead. Let's fight; let's study; let's prepare; let's
make every would-be tyrant on Capitol Hill and Wall Street know that we
are not going to sit back and let them steal our country. Let's send a
message, in no uncertain terms, that if they want our pound of flesh,
they are going to have to come and get it--and if they do, it's going
to cost them a whole lot more than a pound of theirs! (Read

When a president and Congress robs one set of
people to enrich their
cronies, when they violate the settled rule of law regarding bankruptcy
to stiff secured creditors in the case of General Motors while
rewarding self-anointed unsecured creditors -- their political allies,
the auto unions -- the rest of the population cannot fail but conclude
that we are no longer under the rule of law, but the rule of men, which
is to say, the law of the jungle. Or, put another way, they -- the
“authorities” -- can do anything that the citizenry can’t or won’t stop
them from doing. This is the societal Catch 22 we are now in (and have
been for a while) that I call “Waco
Rules.” (Read

'Conservative'
Bill O'Reilly supports gun confiscation in emergencies
by David Codrea
You admit the government can't control things,
that is, it can't fulfill its prime function of protecting life and
property, and your solution is to render those trying to protect their
own defenseless, and to leave good people at the mercy of roving mobs?
You consider peaceable Americans exercising unalienable rights in the
time when they most need them a threat to authority and control? Who do
you think the true controlling authorities are? Just what document do
you think authorizes state powers? And the people who would argue that
point are "extreme"? (Read

The
'Sleep it off' bill
By Kent McManigal
The passed-out-drunk
Albuquerque LEO should have waited a while. He and the
deputy who gave him "Only
One" treatment might have avoided a lot of trouble if they had
waited until Senate Bill 151 passes.
The
bill would once again make it "legal" for a drunk person to "sleep it
off" in their parked car. Rational people have already pointed
out
that this is the responsible thing to do when you realize you are not
sober enough to drive, but the current " law"
makes it seem better to take the chance to get home rather than risk
the almost certain fate of being arrested for recognizing you shouldn't
be driving. After all, a sleeping person is a stationary target.

Here...now
will you please shut up?
By Kevin Wilmeth
Remember the story of the guy who got a Taser up his cornhole because he didn't
comply meekly and quickly enough?
Well, it now seems that he's getting a settlement from Boise's finest.
Which is a joke, of course, since it's not their money in the first
place, and they won't be in the least bit inconvenienced by it.
No,
it's more accurate to say that he's getting a settlement from everyone
who has been taxed or fined (two kinder, gentler words for extorted) by
the City of Boise.
Get it? Crime doesn't pay--you do.
Over, and over, and over again. (Read

Admit
it America, we are Joe Stack
By
Garry Reed
But notice that everyone in the public eye,
those mainstream straight-arrow conformist politicians, media mavens
and opinion makers of every version and variety, eagerly rushed to
brand him a sicko, psycho, wacko, freako schizoid nutcase, hailed by
loonies as an antigovernment hero, champion of right-wing fringe
groups, idol of the Tea Party and the poster boy cynically and
contemptibly used by the political left to discredit and demonize the
entire political right.
Some strutting self-promoting opinionizers called his suicide note the
ravings of a madman. But it wasn't. It was no more angry or disjointed
than a thousand rants on a thousand websites found everywhere every day
all over the blogosphere. (Read
