Ron Paul on Gun Control

In his latest essay Ron Paul addresses the issue of gun control. When the government makes guns illegal, only criminals - and the government itself - will own firearms. The result is less freedom and less safety for everyone else, i.e. law-abiding citizens.

Your safety has always, ultimately been your own responsibility, but never more so than now. People have a natural right to defend themselves. Governments that take that away from their people should be highly suspect. [Continue reading]

Web faux pas: Plan leaked for 'civilian security force'?

Before blogs caught it, Obama site told of requiring students to serve... The official website of President-Elect Barack Obama, Change.gov, originally announced that Obama would "require" all middle school through college students to participate in community service programs; but after a flurry of blogs protested children being drafted into Obama's proposed youth corps, the website's wording was softened.

Don't subject your kids to horrors like this - by Joseph Farah

Do you want to know why we are losing the American Dream? Today's column by Joseph Farah will explain it for us:

Maybe I sound like a broken record when I advise parents to yank their kids out of the government indoctrination centers we euphemistically refer to as public schools.

Nevertheless, I'm going to keep sounding that alarm.

Do you want to know why we are losing the American Dream? Do you want to know why our kids are unable to think for themselves? Do you want to know why Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish between right and wrong?

There are a number of contributing factors, without doubt. But the biggest factor without question is the government stranglehold over "education."

I could cite all kinds of statistics for you.

I could tell you personal experiences.

I could present the history behind what is ultimately a conspiracy to steal the minds of your children and to steal your authority over them.

But I've only got a thousand words to write today, so let's make this simple. I would like to ask you to watch this short video, made in May by a Swedish crew, of an Asheville, N.C., classroom before the election:

Our Veterans Through The Eyes of A Six Year Old Boy

By Randy Williams When we were kids, my brother and I were crazy about playing army. We didn’t play cowboys and Indians. That was for sissies. We played army. We thought of ourselves as hardcore soldiers. Our favorite TV shows were Combat and Hogan’s Heroes. My brother and I had the helmets, the toy rifles the canteens, we used branches and twigs for camouflage and mom would get upset if we used her green eye shadow and black mascara to paint our faces. Any rock or dirt clod was well suited and served as a hand grenade. If we ran out of grenades we would simply pick up a “Potato Masher” grenade that had been thrown at us by a Jerry. By pulling on a handful of long grass, we were able to pull up the roots of the grass with a dirt clod on the end. This served as the “Potato Masher” grenade that we threw back at the Jerry machine gun nest we were to overrun. The hills behind our home became our battlefield. One day we would walk out the back door and we were on Guadalcanal. The next day we were at Normandy. We saw many days of battle. read more | digg story
