I’m going to re-post this because it’s still very timely and vital to your freedom, my freedom, and that of future generations. This relates to pending illegal legislation that could change the face of this nation.

    Hate-Crimes Legislation Reappears
    by Pete Winn, associate editor

    The real question is: Will the president veto the bill?

    A new hate-crimes bill introduced earlier this month in Congress may eventually pass both Houses, pro-family experts say. The president’s help may be needed to keep it from becoming law.

    The House Judiciary Committee has begun consideration of H.R.254, sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas. The legislation is similar to measures passed by the House in 2005 and by the Senate in 2004.

    The Lee bill seeks to establish a new federal offense for hate crimes and would mandate a separate federal criminal prosecution for state offenses tried under its provisions. A sentence of life imprisonment could await those convicted. (more…)

.45 ACP: Current-Day Validation of the Right to Keep & Bear

OK. A post I just read on The Church of the Painful Truth is not news to me, but it is very much on target with my personal passions. What I guess I’m looking for is a discussion here. I’ve asked this before, and y’all just ain’t gettin’ it.

    Why Is This Happening, Anyway, And Whatever Happened To Jail Time For High Crimes?


Clarification: There is no such thing as a “high crime” in criminal law. I am not a lawyer, thank God, but I read. There are crimes. There are felonies. There are misdemeanors. But in her book “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” a study on Bill Clinton, Ann Coulter states on about page 257 or so that “High Crimes” is a term that is used in pursuit of impeachment proceedings.

On this point I disagree. Open assaults against the government of this country are a high crime. The government of this country is not the Senate, not the House, not the Courts, and not the Presidency. The Government of this country, the authority of that Government, is nothing more or less (more…)

Wednesday Hero: a weekly tribute

Capt. Lyle L. GordonEllicia Stanley & her husband SPC Reid Stanley

I received an email from Wednesday Hero Blogroll member Mary Ann in which she suggested that I profile the spouse of a soldier. Seeing as I’d profiled one such spouse in the past, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to do it again. I hadn’t read the entire letter before I said yes, but after reading it I’m glad she sent it to me.

    I think military families serve our country just as much as the service member, especially the spouses. Spouses sign no contract. They stay true for love of husband or wife and for love of country, tough as it may be. They give up familiar home ties and relocate all over the country, all over the world. They give up their civilian lives for something bigger than themselves, usually not knowing how big that “big” might eventually be. (more…)
