The history of the Gadsden flag and how the rattlesnake became a symbol of American independence [FoundingFathers.info] comment () trackback ()  11:36:08 PM     Has The Sierra Times "Sold Out" To The Democrats?. Mr. Bush and the Republican Party - in concert with the Democrats and anyone else who shares their goals and tactics - have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to me, that they will eventually deliver us all to the global socialists whenever it will benefit them and the elite few they truly represent, leaving the rest of us to function as the cattle and slaves they believe we are. Were Bush or the Republicans to show a sliver of integrity or honor, and begin to work for the restoration of America as a republic under the Constitution, I would trumpet the need to support and help them. Show me that they have this goal and what they have done to pursue it, and I'll join with you in supporting them. Until then, Bush and all others of his ilk will get nothing from me - personally- but the profound contempt their actions deserve.

A man who posted bail, then broke into his ex-wife's home and attacked her and her family with a hatchet was shot to death early Thursday by her boyfriend, authorities said. [Yahoo! News] Somehow I doubt this will make it into the Los Angeles Times, even though it happened in Southern California. Lucky for the ex-wife and her family she doesn't live in England! comment () trackback ()  8:48:03 PM     Quote of the day: "Weapons protect the weak from the strong, not the other way around." The passengers of Flight 93 showed us the way to defend ourselves - they fought back. If every passenger fought back immediately, no terrorist could succeed. If every victim fought back immediately, no criminal could succeed. No one lives forever. Jeff Cooper comment () trackback ()  8:25:01 PM     From an email sent out by the Libertarian Party on the effects of the incumbent protection act (sometimes fraudulently advertised as campaign finance reform): In five days, the "Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act," (BCRA) becomes law. Passed by Congress last year, BCRA makes many formerly legal donations to the Libertarian Party a federal crime. While some of the ways the law will apply to us are still fuzzy, it appears that BCRA essentially criminalizes our current membership structure, makes it illegal for our state parties to solicit memberships for the National Libertarian Party, makes it illegal for minors to be party members, and even makes it illegal for us to sell printed materials to our state parties in large quantities, unless they file with the Federal Election Commission. It will become a federal crime to make any donations of over $25,000 per year to the Libertarian National Committee. BCRA will change many aspects of how we have to do business with vendors and with our state parties, and how we run our national conventions and publish LP News. We will have to expend an immense sum just to comply with the new reporting requirements. And we will no longer be able to take any corporate donations at all, as we can now in unlimited amounts. comment () trackback ()  4:58:50 PM     I No Longer Understand My Country. It is ever thus with the state. It commits an intolerable affront to a person's dignity and self-respect, and then makes it a criminal offense when the person actually cannot tolerate it. It is evident that Mme. Aguillaume did nothing wrong other than to take offense at indefensible behavior. The AP article does not describe any pandemonium that ensued upon Mme. Aguillaume's "disorderly conduct;" it is evident that the essence of her "crime" is simply that she did not behave as law enforcement expected or wanted her to behave, there being no real danger in it to anyone.
