Hey! We're talking liberals! No one "fact checks" liberals! ?How else could they have gotten away with all the stuff they put out.  ;-)

Ooooh! Now THAT could open a real can of worms!

My "saving moments" came after I came to faith - and they were literally saving my life. I have at least two episodes for which I have absolutely NO other explanation than that God stepped in and saved me. I keep waiting to figure out why. He must have some other plan for me than what my life has been so far.

Botox makes you "younger". 'Course 80+ might explain the mental lapses...

Not disrespectful. They were just the target of opportunity.  Could have been rattlesnakes, too.

Oh, man - board them all! And when you get what you need, hook them to the wires and leave the electricity on, as in Taken.

Jury nullification was, indeed, an essential part of trial by jury as the FF's saw it. It is only since about the 50's that juries were no longer required to be instructed on it by the judge - and look what it has done to our view of justice and juries.

Mr. Dunphy -

?Are you serious. ?Was your post tongue-in-cheek or real.

Once we were a society that was firm in its knowledge of what it was. People were polite, and miscreants were treated promptly, with general applause at such action. Today, with our moral relativism and the ubiquitous presence of the polizia we have the above. "Laws" were broken, the police is involved. What we SHOULD have had was the statement that she was lucky she wasn't grabbed by the stacking swivel and frog-marched to the street, with the admonition to not return until she learned how to behave in public! (DocJay! ?Where are you to add your trademark pithy comments here!)

OK. So here we have a great, logical, factual presentation of concerns that all ought to have.

?Where are the liberals. ?How come they have so little to say about all this. It is, after all, their creation. They made all this government busy-body intrusion daily fare. They feel government is the solution to all problems, large and small. They "trust" government - to do the right thing, to be on their side, to "help" people.

I am constantly reminded of Mr. Buckley's wonderful comment, "Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." So perhaps we should follow Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's view of reporters. "If I killed them all, there'd be news from hell before breakfast."

Despite all our decrying the conservative position these days in America, we need to remember that we have taken some 35 seats in the House, 2 in the Senate, and have 30 governorships. Everywhere you look, there are conservatives making news (well, OK - not in MN, where they have lost their collective memory for either history OR facts), from republican governors turning states around, to Senators Cruz and Paul thumping democrats. Now the House is busy savaging the IRS, a long needed action.

All this is due to two things - Obamacare and the Tea Party. The first inspired people all over the nation to form the second, and the second, initially bloodied some in elections, has now moved deeper into the Republican Party, trying to wrest control from the Old Guard.

One of THE prime movers in the TP's success has been Sarah. No one else galvanized the public (at least the right-thinking ones) to action as she did. Now the Republican Party is brimming with new people stepping up on the stage, while the Democrat Party has dinasaurs like HRC and Feinstien. NO ONE ELSE has done for the conservatives what Palin has - yet we dis her

I am forever amazed that fact and history have absolutely no effect of liberals.

This must be important research to be funded by I am sure the Vikings were much affected by the same climate changes, allowing the glaciers to retreat and give them land upon which to live and establish their society. NO, wait! That was thousands of years before.

Over on another forum (Marine Corps types) there was a question whether there was an LPM proscription for opening and holding an umbrella.

I can't speak to how the photo looks, but I KNOW that the things was created to be on the palmar side of a glove. If you make a fist, then the barrel would stick between the index and middle fingers. There were not a lot of these made, and I really don't know how well they worked - or even if they were ever used. The OSS made a number of things that were not necessarily well thought through, although sort of kool to see. The other similar item was the Liberator pistol, a single shot .45 ACP palm gun with sort of similar concepts. They were made, IIRC, for use in the Philippines originally (the Liberator).

This isn't going to go away. There is a widening wash showing, implying this is a LOT bigger than initially thought. The numbers of groups targeted is growing by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, this is criminal action, so there may well be criminal complaints filed, trials, etc. What happens THEN is that people make deals - and the scope of the involvement rises. Up the food chain.

This is exactly how Watergate went. And we have TWO issues worthy of serious destructive force of the administration.

Actually, the glove was made so that the barrel just barely stuck between the fingers when you made a fist. Then, when you punched someone, you pressed the "trigger" mechanism and the round went off. Heck of a punch!
