The FR search works best if you confine it to one or two significant words of the title (usually one is all you need) and stay away from words of three characters or less. Those don't work at all. And avoid typos by using cut and paste rather than typing the words in. Also, it appears that some people are not choosing the 'Title'”option in the pull down. That's required if you wish to search by title.

SWAT Tactics at Issue After Fairfax Shooting
By Tom Jackman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 27, 2006; Page B01

Salvatore J. Culosi Sr. still can't believe his son, a 37-year-old optometrist, was a suspected sports bookie. He can't believe a heavily armed SWAT team fatally shot his unarmed son, Salvatore J. Culosi Jr., outside his Fair Oaks home Tuesday night.

And Culosi can't believe that the SWAT team's sudden descent on his son, apparently causing one officer to accidentally fire a .45-caliber handgun once into his son's chest, is standard procedure for Fairfax County police conducting a search.


  • President Obama's Birthplace - A national monument?

    01/22/2009 8:58:37 AM PST · by deks · 78 replies · 3,382+ views
    President Barack H. Obama's biographers will need to know a little more than is currently known about his birth. After all, the presidential birthplace should be a national monument. Preparations should be started now to preserve it. Where is the house in which he was born? Or was it a hospital, I can’t remember? Since Obama is one of our youngest presidents, the midwife who assisted the birth should still be alive. Historians and journalists would like to interview her. Wait, was it a doctor who attended the birth of our first black president? What was his name? Oh, you...

    Only well-trained professionals in the military and the police need guns.  History proves that civilians are much better off without them.

    If you have men with guns at the door and are unsure for any reason as to what is going on, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR! Call 911 and request a local uniformed officer / deputy to come to the residence and take control of the situation. Shout through the closed door that you have called 911 for a uniformed officer and that you do not concent to any searches or seizures and demand that they wait for the uniformed officer. Demand that they provide a copy of their search warrant, arrest warrant or court order before opening the door. Be sure to say all of this while 911 in on the phone as it will be recorded and becomes a legal transcript of the event.

    ALL Muslims, "American" or otherwise, are subject to "Sudden Jihadist Syndrome", a remarkable display of blazing religious fervor marked by spraying the room with a semi-automatic or illegally obtained or converted fully automatic machine gun, shouts of "Allahu akbar!", or the wielding of machetes or sabers used for the express purpose of decapitating the Kufir. Various explosive devices, both worn as a vest, or left resting in some public place with high foot traffic, or the use of high velocity vehicles being crashed into targets of opportunity at unexpected intervals.

    And everybody is a Kufir once the jiggly little corpuscles circulating in their veins get energized.

    This mental state is nourished and encouraged in the various mosques and "prayer rooms" being established in every corner of that territory once known as "the United States of America"

    Amnesty is the “point of no return”. All the other foolish policies can be changed by a later administration, although the huge debt will have to be dealt with. However, 20-30 million new, uneducated, government dependent, Democrat voters will forever change the American government, society, and our way of life. One party rule will be a fact of life that cannot be changed.

    ‘Change,’ for Alinsky, invoked radical socialism and meant the redistribution of wealth.
    [For] Obama [it] means the same, but by hiding the reference he avoids having to be explicit about the radical goal behind the theme.”
    Some Key Alinsky Code Words
    Change - Eliminating the free enterprise system and replacing it with socialism, and peacefully overthrowing the present government and replacing it with communism.
    Community Organizer - One who (1) agitates by identifying and magnifying the real or imagined failings of the establishment as they supposedly apply to the target group, (2) organizes the target group into a political force, and (3) turns that force into “change”.

    For every Christian, temptations arise to put something ahead of our Lord. Indeed, as CS Lewis pointed out, such temptations become stronger for those who do want to leave them behind. But God is faithful....

    Never answer the door after dark. Never answer the door if it's a stranger. Never let a stranger come in your house to use your phone, or your bathroom, or anything else. Always carry protection, loaded and ready when you do answer the door. This is 2013, not 1953. It's not the same country anymore, and you can't take chances like this victim did.

    So Hillary puts a server with classified data in her home bathroom, steals a nomination, had an unlimited campaign chest due to her corrupt Foundation, controlled the US media to do her bidding, encouraged illegal immigrants to vote and consistently lied during the campaign. Who does our vaunted CIA suggest we investigate ? The Russians ?
