    Two men were indicted by a Walker County Grand Jury last week for the April shooting of a dog owned by a local war hero. Alfonso Garcia Hernandez, 24, and Michael John Edmonds II, 21, were indicted on June 10 on one count each of cruelty to non-livestock animals after allegedly shooting and killing DASY, a Labrador retriever belonging to Marcus Luttrell, a highly-decorated Navy SEAL and veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

    That Abraham Lincoln is today a hero to U. S. Communists is a matter of plain geometry. In revolutionary jargon, Communist policy is known as the Party Line, and lately the Party Line has described a neat curve toward democracy. In recent Communist thought Lincoln, Jefferson, and Tom Paine have assumed a stature comparable to that of Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. However much this may surprise the bourgeoisie, Communists planned it that way. This week they also planned their convention and its publicized dramatics to impress upon all U. S. minds a man, a policy, a party, a...
  • Confederated Pistol

    Lewis Winant'a book Firearms Curiosa, page 182 and figure 208. His description is fine, and this is the identical pistol. The caliber is .55 percussion, 8" octagonal barrel with dovetail front sight. The function is fine, the metal shows rust marks from poor storage, saw handle, ring trigger, plain walnut grips with flared grips in fine condition. Apparently this is an unique pistol. $7,250.

    I run 800 by 600. On hotmail the up/down curser only will go low enough to see the top half. On 1024 by 768 the up/down curser works normal. On 1024 by 768 if Zoom is applied it reverts to only allowing top part being shown.

  • Dog retires after years of service to New Waverly man

    Huntsville Item/ Huntsville, Texas ^ | October 15,2008 | Matthew Jackson
    On Oct. 5, a retirement party was held at the New Waverly Public Library. More than 60 people attended to celebrate the life and work of the honoree. After eight years, most of his life, in service, he was finally getting to relax and eat human food. That’s right; the retirement party was for a dog. But anyone in attendance would say that Drummer, the guest of honor, is far more than just a dog. Trained as a service dog by Pennsylvania-based non-profit organization Canine Partners for Life (CPL), Drummer was brought to Texas in 2000 to aid in the...

    Townhall ^ | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 | By Mike S. Adams
    Fred Phelps, the pastor and head lunatic of Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, Kansas (call 785-273-0325 or visit godhatesfags.com) has written an open letter to the family of Heath Ledger. In the short letter is a demand that the Ledger family divulge the time, date, and place of the late actor’s burial in Perth, Australia, so WBC can go - in respectful proximity - and conduct a “religious service.” Fred Phelps has already caused untold suffering and pain to the families of dead American soldiers by protesting their funerals with signs proclaiming that “God Hates America” because “Gad Hates...

    Ronald Reagan was dismissed by the intelligentsia as just an actor who read speeches written by others until history professor Kiron Skinner discovered a box of Reagan's original radio scripts written in his own hand on ruled yellow paper from 1975 to 1979. Since he had no staff to research and write for him in those years, the scripts prove that Reagan was a one-man think-tank, well versed in political philosophy and history, fully capable of writing his own speeches. Professor Skinner's discovery, and the subsequent publication of many of Reagan's more than a thousand hand-written radio commentaries, changed the...
