"It's better to die with Honor, than to live without it"

if we live in fear - we are doing exactly what the snipers and al queda want us to do.

don't let them win. - but don't be stupid either.
go about your business with a heightened state of awareness.

just heard on WTOP that Police said they DO NOT have the sniper in custody - no firearm in the minivan.

A woman - a black woman - who witnessed the arrest just told MSNBC that the man arrested did not look "caucasian" but had an "olive" complexion.

Of course, this suspect could've been set-up. I can't believe the guy was caught so easily.

Ms. Joan Musselman (guessing spelling)

Musselman is French for Muslim. Coincidence? (Insert music cue)

Naw, just a proud American who would rather go down living my life, defying those who would impinge my freedoms, than cower in my home waiting for the nanny government to make it all better.

Nice follow-up.

If geography reflects on the pertinence of what we post, I would say that a person from Colorado is worthy of being ignored...

If it were merely a matter of distance, you'd be correct. But of course, mere distance is not the issue here. The issue is your combination of distance and manly bluster. It's easy to talk big when you're 1,000 miles out of range.

As for this Coloradan, I'm not willing to gainsay the decisions of folks who have to actually deal with the situation.

These were his last words before the snipers bullet drilled a hole through the front of his forehead

I believe that this is exactly what all of us now need to be mentally and spiritually prepared for. In an age when words like "anthrax" and "smallpox" are bandied around every day, it should be clear that nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, not that they ever did, but today less than ever.

You may be able to hide within your bolt hole from a sniper, but certain forms of terror afford no refuge.

Is the objective here, simply to preserve our own skin, or are there higher principles at stake?

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Apparently we are unable to deal even with a single .223 without mass hysteria.

What mass hysteria???????

I don't live in fear... but this statement isn't exactly true. What they want us to do is become muslim and help them destroy Israel... or die.

Curiosity...

You can make that decision for yourself, but if you lived in that area, and if you had a family, would you be taking extra precautions for your children and wife?

Yes, FNC said that French info tells us there is a FRench sniper somewhere in US. This is not to mean that he is THE
sniper.

It could also be a Ducks Unlimited Sticker. I have seen the fox news picture several times, and I can't tell if the upper sticker is a Marine sticker or a Ducks Unlimited Sticker.

If it is a DU sticker or a Marine Sticker, there could be a NRA and Bush Cheney Sticker on it. Those 3 stickers are quite common at least out here on the west coast re being on the same vehicle.

I believe so. The first survivor was the woman shot outside of Michaels, the second was the school kid, the third was the man shot outside of the Pondorosa the other night. There might be a fourth, a gas station employee that was shot as he was leaving work in mid-September. There are also others who are believed to have been shot at, but not hit.

If three verticle stripes, and it is red, white, green, could only be Mexico or Italy, to my knowledge.

Red Green and Black is Afganistan

Unfortunately, not common enough. Hope you guys get rid of Davis. We're doing what we can to eliminate Cleland.

...."it will be a difficult time we will have to go through"....

Difficult indeed if it is ME terrorism and they are contemplating what now must be done...some very un-PC rounding-up perhaps.
