Texas Democrat Shot Intruder, Opposes Your Rights

AP: A state lawmaker who opposed a law giving Texans a stronger right to defend themselves with deadly force shot a man at the house he is building in Houston, the police said. The lawmaker, Representative Borris L. Miles, a Democrat, told the police he was fixing a leak on the second floor of the house on Sunday when he heard a noise downstairs and saw two men trying to steal copper wiring.

Ron Paul on ABC’s This Week

George Stephanopolous is a jerk. The look on his face when Ron talks about Americans' wish to be free of state oppression I think is a great snapshot of what it means to be a smug, full of shit, Ivy League, worshiper of state power - like the rest of them. Go Ron! Go!

Will Grigg writes a Letter Home from Heimatsicherheitsdienst Camp

Liebe Mutter und Vater: They let me wear a really neat uniform, and told me how it would set me apart from everybody else. Just think: When I'm wearing the State's uniform, I'm essentially untouchable — literally: Any common citizen who touches me in any way can be charged with "aggravated battery."

Now, here’s a man who stands for his principles

Mike Tennant from the LRC blog reports on a message from member of his local Ron Paul meetup group email list. Ready for this? I am 60 years old. I have always voted for smaller government and to uphold the Constitution. I have never gotten what I voted for. Today I put my home up for sale. I am taking the proceeds and going to spend it promoting Ron Paul. That is the best way to spend my grandchildren's inheritance. They will benefit more by having President Ron Paul than having $100,000 of...

Calling out John Conyers

A majority of the American people want Dick Cheney removed from power - 45% for Bush's removal. It is long past time for the Judiciary Committe of the U.S. House of Representatives to practice its responsibility and immediately vote articles of impeachment and for the House Leadership to follow. I'll even help you draw them up. Think you'll need more than 20 or so different counts? - that's about all I could do for you in one day. (For this to work right, Speaker Pelosi must vow not to run for...
