President William McKinley believed in luck. He specifically believed in the luck brought by red carnations, which is why he wore one to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901. When a little girl asked him for the flower, the president gave it to her. Then, Leon Czolgosz shot McKinley in the abdomen

It took less than 24 hours for the political Left to seize upon the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of six people on Saturday to blame the political Right for the shooting. Perhaps the most egregious example came from Paul Krugman of the New York Times, who wrote "We don't have proof yet that this was political, but the odds are that it was." (The newspaper that published plagiarized and fabricated accounts of the "D.C. sniper" by affirmative-action hire Jayson Blair in 2003 is still publishing unsubstantiated suppositions without "proof," eh?) "[Giffords'] father says that ‘the...

SACRAMENTO – A citizen's tip led investigators to the only person arrested in a series of recent attempted or successful fire bombings of residential, commercial and government buildings east of Sacramento, the FBI said Thursday. Three of the attacks have been claimed by a shadowy eco-terror organization. Ryan D. Lewis, 21, of Newcastle, admitted stealing and transporting five-gallon plastic buckets full of gasoline and diesel to the site of a Jan. 12 attempted arson of an Auburn office complex that was under construction, the FBI said in an affidavit unsealed Thursday. Lewis also admitted knowing the arsonists who attempted to...

Letters sent to Gold Country Media newspapers claiming to be from the eco-terrorist Earth Liberation Front and declaring responsibility for the recent firebomb plantings in Lincoln and Auburn were reportedly sent by an Emma Goldman from Sacramento. Letters were received Jan. 18 by the Lincoln News Messenger and Auburn Journal and on Jan. 19 by the Roseville Press-Tribune. Only the letter sent to the Journal was opened and the others were turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

The DNC's new tool to kick Bush has a list of links that any marxist/socialist American would drool over. Take Emma Goldman's blogspot for instance. Titled, Notes on the Atrocities: One Person's Bid to Get Her Own Fair and Balanced FBI File, Ms Goldmans bio is a gem in itself.; Your Host, Emma Goldman was born in 1968, the year the U.S. elected Richard Nixon. The span of Emma's life has coincided with a new age of conservatism: each year since 1968, the country has shifted a little further right. Emma lives in Portland, Oregon, known to Republican administrations as...

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) - Officials at the University of California-Berkeley have backed down from a decision to censor the words of Emma Goldman, a fiery activist deported to Russia for her anti-war politics. Goldman's words stirred new controversy this month when an official at the University of California-Berkeley censored some of her quotes from a fund-raising letter sent out by the Emma Goldman Papers Project, a campus archive. In an e-mail sent to the campus community over the weekend, Berkeley Chancellor Bob Berdahl said the center can use whatever Goldman quotes it wants in the future. Berdahl said he does...
