A Colorado group known as the Minutemen -whose aim is keeping an eye on illegal immigrants- says they were attacked. It was all caught on camera. Fox 31’s Jeremy Hubbard has the exclusive details.

EXCERPT: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)BRIAN ROHRBOUGH, FATHER: I am saddened and shaken by the shooting at an Amish school today and last week's school murders. When my son Dan was murdered on the sidewalk at Columbine High School on April 20th, 1999, I hoped that would be the last school shooting.Since that day, I tried to answer the question why did this happen? This country is in a moral free fall. For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing Him with evolution, where the strong...

Minutemen Project co-founder Jim Gilchrist spoke at Columbia University tonight. He tried to speak, that is. During his remarks, a mob of students stormed the stage and sabotaged the event. Every Columbia U. alum should be assailing the administration. Gilchrist is owed an apology. This is a disgrace. The staff of the Blue and White, a Columbia Univ. undergrad magazine liveblogged it at "The Bwog" and took photos. Here's one: A bit of their report: STUDENTS WITH A BIG YELLOW SIGN JUST CAME ONTO THE STAGE. The sign says, "There are no illegals." Students rise en masse from the audience...

The recent spate of school shootings is fodder for gun control groups. Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said on Monday it is "too easy" for children, teens, troubled adults, criminals and terrorists to get firearms in this country. There have been three school shootings in the past week, starting with the one on Sept. 26 in Bailey, Colo., where a disturbed man walked into Platte Canyon High School, held six female students hostage, eventually killing one of them as well as himself. Three days later, on Sept. 29, a 9th grader in Cazenovia, Wis.,...

I guess we need to inform the country about some of the realities of the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program (TSP) and what is possible and not possible to resolve all the concerns for privacy protections. I say this because the house just passed a good bill on the NSA TSP. This topic is especially important in light of some leftwing prosecutorial abuse against a Rep Candidate for AG in NY who has had her phone monitored for discussing ways to catch her cheating husband publicized - we can be voyuers against Reps but it is unconstitutional to monitor terrorists contacting...

"I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since." -- William Jefferson Clinton, Sept. 24, 2006 Now there's a passage for the next edition of "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"! It was a stunning, blatant confession -- made in the midst of a heated exchange on FOX News Sunday with Chris Wallace -- that as president, Clinton sanctioned the assassination of Osama bin Laden. To put this little piece of braggadocio in context, it should...

I have blogged before about the obsessed UNC professor Eric Muller. He and his friends at Wonkette have sunk to a new low (Guess insulting me with ping-pong ball jokes wasn't enough). As a response to my column this week on Charlotte Church, they post a picture of a woman in a bikini that they claim is me (I wish I looked that good in a bikini): The idiots are so blinded by hate they can't see a two-bit Photoshop from some hater's bogus Flickr site? And they couldn't bother to ask me before attempting to embarrass me and calling...

As I reported earlier, snipers have been deployed to Iraq to discourage insurgents from getting within rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) range. This is what happens to insurgents who get too close. I've blurred the gruesome wound suffered by the insurgent. Insurgent killed by sniper The snipers were deployed with M-14 rifles which have an effective range of about 800 meters. RPGs are only effective at up to 400-500 meters. I believe this insurgent, however, was actually killed with this weapon: Barrett "Light Fifty" Model 82A1 The .50 caliber Barrett has an effective range of 1800 meters. Update: Use of .50...

Sweet Rosie O'Donnell September 25, 2006 By Glen McAdoo It would appear that TV personality Rosie O'Donnell has created quite a storm with her remarks comparing radical Christianity with radical Islam. To quote her exactly, she said, "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country where we have separation of church and state." One could defend Rosie if she had stopped there. She has plenty of supporters when it comes to defending this country against radical, and I stress radical, Christianity that would turn this democratic republic into a theocracy. But when she said the war...

SENATE FLOOR SPEECH DELIVERED MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2006 SENATOR JAMES INHOFE CHAIRMAN, SENATE ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE I am going to speak today about the most media-hyped environmental issue of all time, global warming. I have spoken more about global warming than any other politician in Washington today. My speech will be a bit different from the previous seven floor speeches, as I focus not only on the science, but on the media’s coverage of climate change. Global Warming -- just that term evokes many members in this chamber, the media, Hollywood elites and our pop culture to nod...

LEWISVILLE — North Texas motorists can't help but notice that the price of gasoline has plunged below the $2 mark at some area pumps. Drivers at a RaceTrac station near Interstate 35E in Lewisville early Tuesday morning were surprised but delighted to be pocketing some extra change after a fill-up. The price per gallon is 50 cents less than it was just a month ago. But is the drop due to the end of the summer driving season, or something else? According to a new Gallup poll, 42 percent of respondents agreed with the statement that the Bush administration "deliberately...
