FOX News has reported that the Dot.Com gunman in Massachusetts, McDermott, was taking psychiatric medication and under psychiatric treatment before his office rampage of murder the day after Christmas. Turn to FOX News or their website for further details.

The Democrats Destroyed our Economy - Media Starts Campaign to Blame BushStarting six months ago I began posting articles about the clear signs of the economic downturn, undeniable indicators, as well as the many factors involved and those to blame, including, in part, supporters of the Clinton administration in Silicon Valley, California, who thought the open corruption and abuse of power by this administration could be used for their petty advantage to destroy some of their competitors while making big money giving away technology to Red China, and in large part the Democratic Party itself as well as their friends ...

Clintons Thank Americans in Holiday Message Saturday, December 23, 2000 WASHINGTON (FOX News) — In a video greeting for the nation, President Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton thank Americans for "the privilege of serving" them for the past eight years.

Black Voter and disenfranchisement in Florida I understand that there are some self-amour-propre agitators who are now trying to exploit possible voter irregularities to assert egregious conspiracies of civil rights violations against the black community in Florida in relation to the ballot, practically alleging that the Ku Klux Klan ran the votermatics and were the ballot-box "observers" at the polling places. We know very well who is doing this, and why, and it comes from the very same confidence men and politicians who have failed the black community for the last decade and now feel that their power is threatened ...

Bill Bradley: "See, I told you so" Remember in the closing weeks of the 2000 Presidential election how we were told every five minutes by the media and the Democrats, how the difference between victory and defeat for Al Gore all comes down to Ralph Nader? Remember that? Every news-speak and every Gore "supporter" told us over, and over again - practically demonizing Ralph Nader - but all of that stopped just about the time of the recounts. On the 12th hour of the final day of the election, when all eyes turned on Florida, and in the many gruesome ...

Journey's End and a Journey Dawning First of all, I think that George Bush has a keen desire to want to work with the opposition whenever bipartisanship can be achieved, and he would also want his supporters among the grass roots who are the millions of citizens across the nation to find a more sociable dialogue with the Gore supporters, so I would like to apologize for the preponderance of excessive antagonistic comments I have made to the opposition in the last many days of this almost unworkable election. A large part of the incertitude of this entire exhausting process ...

Well, the Supreme Court of the United States just ordered the stay at noon (PST Saturday), and even though I have no idea what the SCOTUS ruling is going to be on Monday, I just want all those Democrats out there to know that, yes this has been a roller coaster of a ride with it's ups and downs, and, go figure, you guys were all cheering when your Kangaroo Court gave the wink for Al Gore's friends on the canvassing boards and Team Gore MSNBC and Team Gore CNN to hustle some quickie weekend tallies for Gore and then ...

FOX just reported 11th Circuit rejected Bush's case . . .

Political servitude can only be countered by political emancipation, and political emancipation means a rise of mass-consciousness, which is exactly what is happening now - parallel to our own political servitude we are observing occur before our very eyes, we are also witness to a rise of mass-consciousness that is the premise of emancipation. Emancipation is predicated with action, and only through direct action of the people, taking upon themselves their own emancipation, can it find it's own nativity. No one else will do it. The first method of direct action can be historically proven: it is total non-cooperation with ...

Where is the United States Supreme Court? They have not acted, and the trespass is being committed. It is now noon, Saturday. And the misconduct continues, and very soon the aim of the misconduct will be successful to the very cause that the malfeasance of the four rogues on the Florida Supreme Court intended. Because the malfeasance, the base intent, of those four cheats in robes on the Florida Supreme Court was, and is, clear. Those four Democratic Party operatives in black robes on the Florida Supreme Court knew fully well that this ruling would be offensive to the higher ...

I have had enough. So today I am asking, where can I go, who can I go to? I am not interested in words, and more words, faceless words on a book and political coffee clubs and chatting tea rooms. No more. It is too late for all that. I have seen enough, enough, enough! Sometimes, you find yourself in a world, and the world starts spinning around you, but you discover that what is around you is whirling about because you realize, to your own wonder, that you are on the wheel itself, and for no fault of ...

Ashcroft and Hatch to the Supreme Court I think as openings come to the Court, the Bush Administration can fill two openings with John Ashcroft of Missouri and Orrin Hatch of Utah, a likely two choices anyway according to some opinion. Some will have an immediate response to these names, and perhaps the loudest will be the negative reaction. Ashcroft would strengthen the constitutional conservative opinion, and perhaps those in the Republican Party from New York or those who do not hold an abortion litmus test would react with annoyance, and I would like to point out that I am ...

JOE LIEBERMAN CALLS FOR, IN EFFECT, THE IMMEDIATE ARREST OF BOB DOLE Joe Lieberman has called for the end to all public gatherings, public protest and public speech. Of course, that is all public speech that is anti-Gore. Lieberman called it "violent intimidation" to have a public gathering where people shout "sore loserman". In other words, Joe is calling for the immediate arrest of Bob Dole, who is standing in the middle of a few folks holding "Sore Loserman" signs . . .

Supreme Court Weighs Intervention By LAURIE ASSEO Associated Press Writer The Supreme Court weighed intervention in Florida's contested presidential election on Friday as George W. Bush gained ground in a recount of military absentee ballots and Al Gore picked up support from a recanvass of votes cast on election day. Republican running mate Dick Cheney won his release from the hospital, two days after suffering what doctors described as a very mild heart attack -- his fourth. Cheney said there were "no restrictions'' placed on him that would rule out assuming the vice presidency. Bush's lead, pegged at 930 votes ...

Gore Camp: No Matter the Count, We Won't Concede Friday, November 24, 2000 Al Gore will not concede defeat in the presidential election, in spite of a court ruling canceling a recount of votes in Florida's Democratic-leaning Miami-Dade County without which Gore is not likely to win the state. - Wilfredo Lee/AP Instead, Gore's lawyers say if the hand-recount totals — scheduled to be certified on Sunday — show George W. Bush has more votes in Florida, they will contest the Miami-Dade County results in Florida state court. Bush's unofficial statewide lead is now 757 votes, assuming hand recounts and ...

MSNBC just showed the Gore legal team just walk up to the steps of the court and handed in a large box of papers to the Florida Supreme Court . . . excuse me? The court doors are open on Thanksgiving Day? The "justices" of the Florida Supreme Court are waiting there to accept the papers on a day they are suppose to be taking a holiday? My God, these gross tyrants want open rebellion. This is all about the Florida Supreme Court tyrants now telling Miami-Dade that they must recount the "under ballots", period. These kangaroos of that court ...

ISSUE ISN'T OVER YET: DID THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THROW OUT THE VOTES OF THE USS COLE? Al Gore says he wants every vote to count. But this isn't true. Joseph Stalin once said, those casting the votes count for nothing, those counting the votes count for everything. Al Gore and the Democrats do not want every vote to count. They only want votes for Al Gore, in Democratic controlled counties that voted for Al Gore, to count. Every dimple. Those casting the votes count for nothing. And, in these Democratic controlled counties, those counting the votes they are Al Gore's ...

While I would not agree with many of the premises of Mr. Thoreau's writing, I am asking the obvious: isn't it time we, not only get ready for, but implement total civil disobedience? I think we are really reaching the threshold . . . the Florida voter fraud by the Democrats and politicized vermin of Al Gore, Inc., well, that going to be the last threshold that I think most reasonable people will be able to stand . . . CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE - 1849 by Henry David Thoreau I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; ...
