Blackwater members given IMMUNITY from shooting 17 Iraqi civilians « Mrs. Silence Dogood
When you absolutely, positively, have to have the very best, Blackwater is the answer. That American General that got hit? Please note that it was not Blackwater International that was guarding him. It is in things like this that the Utilitarian comes out in me. As for the abuse of power question? Better judged by twelve than carried by six.
“Liberty is a word which, according as it is used, comprehends the most good and the most evil of any in the world. Justly understood it is sacred next to those which we appropriate in divine adoration; but in the mouths of some it means anything, which enervate a necessary government; excite a jealousy of the rulers who are our own choice, and keep society in confusion for want of a power sufficiently concentered to promote good.” —Oliver Ellsworth
Kazakhstan’s “Glorious” Neighbor Kyrgyzstan « Giving Up Control
An interesting take on the customs of people in other parts of the world. The comments are mostly quite thoughtful as well.
Seems as though this solution to the high cost of courting works for them, as disgusting as it appears to others. I mean? The money is one thing, but she better be very exceptional if a cow is also included in the bride price! ( Joke)

Where do I start..? Some here know of my background, and that may lend some credence to what I say. For others it will hinder that! ![]()
I am a former FEMA Mass Casualty Incident Planner/Trainer among other things. I traveled to Africa,Europe and Israel several times learning about these sorts of things. We developed contingency plans for just about every scenario possible. That the veritable book that was written gets tossed every time something happens is not the fault of the people that prepared for what we know will happen some day. It is the fault of those that have their collective heads stuck in the sand, from Columbine to Katrina, that has been the rule.
It is also true that here in the Denver area, we are a target rich environment, especially what with the DNC being held here next year. I will not comment on what things are being explored as possible responses to the myriad possibilities.
I will comment though that I believe that there is simply not enough being done that would preempt a strike. So bomb dogs are trained differently by different agencies? So what, that is a strength in that it makes it more difficult for the bad guys to learn how to circumvent them. So behavioral studies are not complete? So what, you might just catch some creep that you did train for. So the people of America will burn out on being cautious and reporting suspicious behavior? So what, an awareness campaign just might be key to saving a lot of lives.
Folks, when it comes to our safety and freedom here in America, I simply refuse to lose.
56 Men Of Conviction « ELLIOT LAKE NEWS & VIEWS
I came across this well researched and finely written piece this morning. It tells the stories of the lessor known signers of the Declaration of Independence.
I fully expect to get hammered by the Hate America First Brigade, as I also expect the blog that I found this in to be. Having said that; Those men suffered for the freedoms that we enjoy today, many did in fact die for them. These were not, just a bunch of “Old dead white men” as they are so often characterized. They had hopes, and dreams. As well as honor, and no small amount of raw courage.
When, I ask, have the NeoComms ( My term for Neo Communist) done anything that even comes close to what the men written about did?
“On illegal immigration, [Mike] Huckabee makes George Bush sound like Tom Tancredo. He has compared illegal aliens to slaves brought here in chains from Africa, saying, ‘I think frankly the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before.’ Toward that end, when an Arkansas legislator introduced a bill that would prevent illegal aliens from voting and receiving state benefits, Huckabee denounced the bill, saying it would rile up ‘those who are racist and bigots.’ He also made the insane point that companies like Toyota would not invest in Arkansas if the state didn’t allow non-citizens to vote because it would ‘send the message that, essentially, ‘If you don’t look like us, talk like us and speak like us, we don’t want you.’ Like all the (other) Democratic candidates for president, he supports a federal law to ban smoking—unless you’re an illegal alien smoking at a Toyota plant. (I just realized why Mike Huckabee can’t run for president as a Democrat—they’ve already got Mike Gravel.) Huckabee also joined with impeached president Bill Clinton in a campaign against childhood obesity. What, O.J. wasn’t available?”—Ann Coulter
I just love her perspective on some issues! 🙂
Some years ago I stumbled upon a website that just plain cheered me up. In fact, I could not stop laughing. Now, what with Al Gore winning a Nobel Prize, the Denver Bronco’s going on self destruct mode, and my shotgun busting a spring, I decided to roll out, once again, the 213 things that Skippy can no longer do in the Army.
