"The Democrats have declared war on any possible conservative nominees to federal courts. As a result, the Bush Administration has promised to send only liberals and moderates. New York Senator Charles Schumer blatantly announced that the Democrats would no longer consider judges based on their legal expertise, but rather on their political philosophy. In other words, no conservatives will even be considered for judicial appointments." |

Neither Joseph K. nor his grandparents understand how something he said at home to a couple of flirtatious girls could have led to his arrest, jailing, and expulsion from school. Not to mention the fact that the police confiscated his grandfather's shotgun--out of his grandfather's own bedroom, when they were supposed to be only in Joseph's room.

"Citizens of modern America have very little in common with their ancestors. The founding fathers valued liberty over comfort and freedom over security. The American people can celebrate as many historic holidays as they wish, but that will not bring back the spirit of righteous resistance that created the United States of America." -Trent Pepper |

"Because guns, shoulder-fired missiles and light mortars are easy to make and hard to track, no one knows how many small arms and light weapons there are in the world, the United Nations says. It guesses there are more than 500 million worldwide - up to 60% illicit."
~How is that possible, when yesterday's study said 56% of worldwide arms were NOT "illicit"?
