Why Fred Thompson is Possible

I have watched this earliest of Presidential Election Cycles with interest, and with growing dismay as the Media has focused almost exclusively on the "Big Three: GOP candidates, none of whom can claim they are conservative without eliciting a belly laugh from me.Arizona Senator John McCain may have been a conservative at one time, before I started paying attention to politics, but he is not now. My biggest beef with him is the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform. That criminal piece of legislation has Congress restricting...

A View to a Kill: The Left Supports the Thug-In-Chief Hugo Chavez

Or, How I Quit Living in Fear of Freedom of Speech, and Learned to Love Neo-StalinismI hope the events unfolding in Venezuela has been an awakening for people on how the Hard-Core Lefties think, and the cognitive dissonance they bathe in will lead to the horrors of tyranny every single time it is tried!Hugo Chavez, who has been given dictatorial powers "only during the current emergency", and an extended term in office, has assumed the worship of the American Communists once only occupied by El Presidente Fidel Castro. And, like him, he will continue...

Now That is a Monster Pig !!!

I was checking out Drudge, and found this story about a 1,000 plus pound wild boar killed in Alabama by an 11-year old boy. An excerpt from the article:MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Hogzilla is being made into a horror movie. But the sequel may be even bigger: Meet Monster Pig. An 11-year-old Alabama boy used a pistol to kill a wild hog his father says weighed a staggering 1,051 pounds and measured 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its...

Gunfight at Ghost Town In The Sky

5 Dead in Crash, Driver Unlicensed and Possibly an Illegal Alien

A horrible head-on collision yesterday morning in Mitchell County, North Carolina killed five people.An S-10, driven by Roberto Sixtos, about 20 yrs old, of Mexico and Marion, NC crossed the centerline and corrected back into his lane, where he struck the Land Rover driven by 58 yr-old Jimmie Dotts, of Mitchell County,, who had swerved into the other lane to avoid the S-10. All five were dead by the time a NC Highway Patrol Trooper arrived five minutes later. [Link to AC-T Photo Gallery]Sixtos did not have a Drivers License, and it is currently...

New Blog: Survival Strategies

Ever wonder about what you would need to know in case the Schumer hits the fan, and our infrastructure collapses? Remember Katrina? That storm disrupted the infrastructure for a few weeks, but food and other emergency supplies were being trucked in within a week or so. Not many were prepared, and certainly very few in New Orleans were...A new blog called Survival Strategies, has come to my attention, and I would like for you to go take a look, and maybe start preparing for the inevitable collapse [short or long term] of our infrastructur...

Supporting Forces of Freedom Abroad

There is an interesting post on the Center for Vigilant Freedom/910 Group Blog about the nature of our war with the radical elements of Islam, whom I refer to as Islamic Imperialists, and our general ignorance regarding same.But our governments often refuse to admit that they are under an Information War siege, and they refuse to keep and defend that solid constitutional terrain they’ve received as a legacy from earlier generations. Demoralized by political correctness, they can’t believe that constitutional laws and Western values are the high...

R.I.P. America

In loving memory... The United States of America 1775-2007 It was good while it lasted. Too bad it's over. Every great country must come to an end. In man's history, the average age of a great civilization is about 200 years. America made it a bit longer, but now it's time has come as well. Now I don't mean to say that overnight the place will suddenly cease to exist. However, the America that was created over 200 years ago is completely gone now. It's been on a decline for some time, and this really is it. I remember well the celebrations...

BIll Whittle Has An Idea

Essayist Bill Whittle, the essayist, has put up a two part essay [One] [Two] [More] and "something wonderful" and you really should read it, and if so moved, participate.I have noticed an interesting phenomenon in certain circles within the last year, the formation of communities of like-minded people willing to act in order to effect change in our society. These groups range all the way from local political groups, to national and international movements in the political range, and beyond.My belief is that people have had enough of the destruction...

Senate Blinks on Amnesty Bill

Well, your phones calls, faxes, and emails have worked! The Senate is putting off deliberating on this atrocious bill. We cannot rest on our laurels, and must continue working toward getting them to build a secure border, north and south, before arresting the border-crossing lawbreakers.Read Amnesty Fraud by Thomas Sowell.Also, a brief heads up, I will be pursuing a program of monitoring one of the local spots for hiring illegal aliens, and will be reporting on the employers who hire them, both online, and to federal authorities...so stay tuned...

The “Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007”

Even if it passes both Houses, and is signed by the President, it will never be fully implemented!How do I come to this conclusion?Quoting from the introduction about when the Act becomes effective:shall become effective on the date that the Secretary submits a written certification to the President and the Congress that the following border security and other measures are funded, in place, and in operation: (1) Staff Enhancements for Border Patrol: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol has, in its continued effort to increase...

Prophet of Doom

I just got through listening to the archived podcast of Atlas on the Air I downloaded earlier this week, where Pamela interviews the author of The Prophet of Doom.I believe this interview should receive wider coverage, even though it has a few bitter pills for me to swallow.From his website:Islam in Muhammad's Own Words Islam is a caustic blend of paganism and twisted Bible stories. Muhammad, its lone prophet, conceived his religion to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist. And if you think these conclusions are shocking,...

Amnesty Deal Will Cost McCain the White House

I will admit it, I was a little concerned that Arizona Senator John McCain might get the GOP nomination for President.Now, with Senate Passage of the "Immigration Reform," I can rest easy. He will not get the nomination. He may survive Giga-Tuesday, but that will only be the shear force of his nation-endangering ego.My utter disgust with Senator McCain began with McCain-Feingold,[a law that I will not follow, should I ever fall under it's provision] and he continues to work to destroy America on our dime to this day.I will say that Governor Mitt...

Pearl Harbor, Asheville Style

Statement by Mike ThompsonIn the worst secretive tradition of Imperial Japan's military leaders, as so tragically demonstrated at Pearl Harbor, Asheville's City Council last night pounced on its peaceful neighbors at Biltmore Lake without the decency of a warning.The sneak attack on our community is not only a date that will live in infamy, it is a day that will cost taxpayers of the City of Asheville huge legal bills to defend in court–because the North Carolina Supreme Court already has ruled that such greed-motivated annexation as envisioned...

PARENTAL RESPONSIBILTY By WNCCB2

Guest CommentaryPARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY by WNCCB2I had a lot of sympathy for the parents of the missing 4-year-old girl who disappeared while they vacationed in Portugal. Who wouldn’t?Until I read the details. Funny how those change your perspective. Buried in paragraph five of a recent story is the incriminating statement:“The girl vanished May 3 after her parents left her, and her brother and sister, both aged 2, alone while they went to a nearby restaurant within their hotel complex in Portugal's Algarve region, a popular European tourist destination.”Excuse...

NC Senate Votes To Junk The Constituional Electoral College

North Carolina moved a big step closer to joining a national movement that could lead to the president of the United States being elected by popular vote.The state Senate, by a 30-18 partisan vote, passed legislation that would direct North Carolina's Electoral College delegates to vote for the presidential candidate with the most votes nationwide -- not the one with the most votes in the state -- if the national movement proves successful. So far, only Maryland has signed on, but more than 40 states are considering legislation that could bring...

Connections: Communists and Illegal Alien Rallies

Across the U.S., spirited and determined demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of workers took place on May Day, international day of the working class. In L.A., Chicago and New York City, in Miami and Boston, in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, in Denver, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, in Detroit, Minneapolis, and many many more cities and towns, working people stood as one to demand their rights. Everywhere the stand that An Injury to One is an Injury to All could be seen. The actions denounced deportations, detentions and the brutal separation...

I have read some very weird stuff. This beats all that with a stick.I have a firm grasp on reality.

Giuliani Gave to Planned Parenthood (At least 6 times!)

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani in his campaign appearances this year has stated that he personally abhors abortion, even though he supports keeping a legal right to choose. But records show that in the '90s he contributed money at least six times to Planned Parenthood, one of the country's leading abortion rights groups and its top provider of abortions. Federal tax returns made public by the former New York mayor show that he and his then-wife, Donna Hanover, made personal donations to national, state and city chapters of Planned...

Congressman Heath Shuler in the News

Newly elected Representative--and former NFL quarterback--Heath Shuler has gotten himself into the news. Only not the way he would likely have wanted.First off, there is this little tidbit, which indicates that Shuler is not willing to give religious groups hiring and firing ability when it comes to their participation in Head Start. As Ramesh Ponnuru notes, even some liberals in the House Democratic Caucus believe that this proposal goes a bit too far to the Left. Why Shuler feels he needs to make this proposal is something of a mystery and how...

What Do We Fight For?

I have tried to contribute to a new vocabulary by coining the word “Caucasophobia” for anti-white racism, and have suggested the term “self-termination” for organized Western self-loathing and the Western policy of unilaterally dismantling our own culture. Both terms are OK, but if somebody can come up with something better and more catchy, I’m all ears. One can say many bad things about the word “Islamophobia,” but it’s easy to understand and sticks...
