Folks, Some of you know I've been tracking the Diebold vote fraud scandal in some detail. If not, check out my letters to the California Secretary of State at: http://www.equalccw.com/voteprar.html Extreme short form: Diebold sells the hardware and software to vote with, to county governments. The security of same is so bad, it seems highly likely this turkey was rigged for vote fraud. Internal memos have been leaked showing the %$#^@s laughing about it amongst themselves . It's *bad*, OK? Well on Thursday at 10:00am, the "voting certification panel" will be meeting to, supposedly, make a decision on whether or...

He is said to have told his captors that he went to Iraq to fight coalition forces, but now wants to return to England to be reunited with his family in Manchester. Army officers report that the man has been taunting soldiers, saying he intends to live on benefits when he returns to Britain and revelling in the fact that the Geneva Convention means his captors will be unable to punish him or prevent his return "home" Corporal Jonathan Duffy, 21, of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards, questioned the man, believed to be Iraqi-born but claiming British citizenship, at the...

DUNCAN -- Margaret Summey credits God -- and her .357 Magnum -- with protecting her from a burglar Thursday. "I would have used a shotgun, but I had just had new countertops done and I didn't want to tear up the kitchen."

A masked robber chased another man into the main breezeway of an elementary school and shot him in the back with a .45-caliber handgun, deputies said. No children witnessed the shooting. Felton Williams, 41, underwent surgery at Broward General Medical Center, where he was listed in serious condition late Tuesday.

C'mon Mike, You got caught. As we will see below, the event is all too illustrative of Moore's approach. In producing a supposed "documentary," Moore simply changes facts when they don't suit his theme. The viewer cannot count on what he sees, or is told, having any relation to facts. Whenever Moore desires, facts will be manufactured in the editing booth. 2. NRA and the Reaction To Tragedy. The dominant theme in Bowling (and certainly the theme that has attracted most reviewers) is that NRA is callous toward slayings. The theme begins early in the film, and forms its ending,...

As war unfolds, Iraqi sleeper cells and al Qaeda operatives aren't the only threats we face on the domestic front. Homegrown environmental radicals cast their own fatwah on America this week. And they're not just talking about lighting tea candles while they sing Bob Dylan tunes in their Birkenstocks. These anarchist menaces are deadly serious about undermining national security through physical and economic harm.

This bill is for women who are threatened," he stated in a House press release, "who are not safe in parking lots, while jogging and who don't enjoy the freedom to come and go like others in our society. "This bill is for those who feel defenseless and desperately helpless. That feeling should not be happening in this great country of America." The state's aggravated assault rate is the highest in the nation, the rape rate is third highest and there have been several recent high-profile domestic violence-related murders, Heaton stated. In committee, testimony in favor of the bill was...

Original Copy of Bill of Rights Recovered By MARYCLAIRE DALE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA (AP) - An original copy of the Bill of Rights, stolen from the North Carolina statehouse during the Civil War, was recovered in an undercover sting, the FBI said Wednesday. Authorities learned of the document after a broker contacted the National Constitution Center, a museum being built in Philadelphia's historic district. Museum president Joseph Torsella thought it might be the copy belonging to Pennsylvania, one of five states that have lost their copies over the years. But during the talks, his staff came to believe it was...

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A man protesting the looming U.S. war on Iraq fell to his death from San Francisco's famed Golden Gate Bridge on Wednesday as he was hanging a banner, officials said. "He appears to have been hanging a banner of some kind," said California Highway Patrol officer Timothy Willock. "We're not sure if he decided to jump or slipped while he was, you know, hanging the banner. That's unclear right now." Anti-war sentiment is strong in the San Francisco Bay Area but the death of the man in his 30s was the first related to the latest...

Among the nine people who died as a result of the unexpectedly bad weather were three undocumented immigrants and a Fredericksburg woman.

God willing,if some strung out wack job wants to shoot up a school in Utah,a responsible adult will stop them! If only some of the Columbine teachers had a pistol!

PHOENIX - The Arizona House narrowly voted yesterday to reduce the penalty for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. The bill (HB2321) was sent to the Senate on a vote of 32-27 - one more than the minimum 31 needed for House passage. Under the bill, violations would be a petty offense punishable by a fine of $50 or less. They now are misdemeanors punishable by up to six months in jail. Supporters said the change would help responsible citizens who carry guns and inadvertently break Arizona's concealed weapons law. Opponents said it would encourage some people who carry...

What the communist cease fire fail to inform you is that the NRA has a great program called "Eddie Eagle" which teaches kids not to handle guns. They do not want children to know about safe gun handling,that would put them out of biz! They would rather have un informed snoops calling the cops because you have a shotgun and your children know how to use it

But a lot of military types, particularly guys in special-operations units, like to supplement some of the standard-issue weaponry with privately purchased handguns and gun-related equipment of their own choosing. Often the handguns and equipment they can buy in the private market are better and more advanced than the standard-issue stuff. But getting those handguns can be a big problem in California, which has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. Although law enforcement personnel are exempted from many of the restrictions on purchasing firearms, military personnel stationed in California are not - even if they're on...
