Monday, Feb 2, 2009 The Million Gunowner Marchby Skip Coryell Last week I received the below email from a lady in Belgium who had just read my book "RKBA: Defending the Right to Keep and Bear Arms". She was distraught and discouraged because her beloved country was no longer what it used to be. Here are her words. "Another nutcase criminal entered a baby/little kid's daycare center... and he began to stab the kids with a knife! You know what the adults who are supposed to take care of the kids did?

Oh good grief, Shepherd Smith just interviewed Fox's pet (ex) judge, Napolitano, who not only equated homosexual marriage with the civil rights situation in the 1950s, but specifically equated homosexual marriage with interracial marriage. But wait, there's more. He then waxed eloquent, confident smile on his face, about how we'd look back on this situation and wonder what the big deal was all about, since homosexual marriage would be an accepted part of society, like interracial marriage.

U.S. Agents Arrest Dozens of Fathers in Support CasesBy ROBERT PEAR ASHINGTON, Aug. 16 — Federal agents in 29 states have arrested dozens of fathers who owe millions of dollars of child support, in a nationwide sweep that officials describe as a significant expansion of the federal role. More notable than any one arrest, the officials say, is the message that the Bush administration is sending about its decision to pursue a more aggressive approach by using federal criminal prosecution against people who have repeatedly flouted state court orders. Even though child support collections have increased in recent years, many...

It's sickening! No more Ektar (25 amp; 100 missed the most), no more Royal Gold (25 amp; 100 as per Ektar), no more Pro100, no more Kodachrome 25, no more 120 Kodachrome, no more Verichrome Pan, no more Plus-X or Tri-X (although they will be delivering replacements -- different films -- with the same names for those two classics), and there was going to be no more Kodachrome 200, but they backed down -- they'll sell it at something like $23 a roll -- while there's still demand for it. (Gee, how long will that be at that price?)

January 08, 2002 Mobile Phone Shootings Shock Britain LONDON- In a country where most police are armed with little more than batons and the closest many people get to crime is a TV drama, criminals with guns have been seen as the kind of problem that afflicts other nations.

According to figures released by the London police, muggings involving a ...

America the BraveByShemane Nugent After relentless debates about Condit, Congress and Clinton, the United States of America, the world "Super Power," the strongest, most affluent country on Earth, has been stunned into silence. There is a curious calm to the land. A stillness in the air. A skipped beat in the rhythm of the streets. Suddenly, there is no bickering between democrats and republicans. No squabbling about budgets. Instead, it seems as if the escalating arguing among Americans has been completely obliterated. The clamoring stopped as our illusion of freedom was destroyed on September 11, 2001. We were raped, ...
