Supreme Court Ruling on 2nd Ammendment

Donald Inman — Thur, 20 Mar 2008 00:12:39 GMT

It appears the the Supreme Court is going to pull off the Kansas City Shuffle. Not to be confused with the Beltway Two Step. To wit; they have basically affirmed the 2nd amendments "right to bear arms" meaning while vacillating on the topic of controlling firearms. To me it is like free speech. You either have it or you don't. If you say speech is free as long as it doesn't offend someone in government office (which It should) then it is not free speech. If you have the right to bear arms only to the extent that the government dictates the context of that freedom, then the freedom doesn't exist.

Personally I believe in the right of unborn children to bear arms

"CLOSED SESSION" MORE THAN THE PENDING SECURITY

PoP — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:28:32 GMT

Not only did members discuss new surveillance provisions as was the publicly stated reason for the closed door session, they were also bluntly warned about:

Dishonest Abe and His Well Known Admirers...

Dick Gaines — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:03:10 GMT

Seems to me that I read that Fidel Castru was also an admirer of Lincoln.
Can't seem to find a reference to that right now.

Re
hank all of you who responded to my request for "Help with a citation" concerning Lincoln and Hitler.

Having read Mein Kampf and numerous works concerning the "Great Emancipator," I knew that I had seen it somewhere. But, the word "Lincoln" does not appear anywhere in the index of my copy of Mein Kampf and a thumb-scan of a 694 page book falls clearly into the category of a "needle in a haystack." Google turned up nothing. It came down to the last sorce that I possess, which I had forgot about having. I found what I was looking for in DiLorenzo's "Lincoln Unmasked" pages 81-84 where Di'Lorenzo cites Mein Kampf.

Indeed Der Fuehrer turns to Lincoln's 1st Inagural address for intellectual ammunition. He wrote: "The individual states of the American Union could not have possessed any state sovereignty of their own. For it was not these states tht formed the union, on the contrary it was the Union which formed a great part of the so-called states." Lincoln said, "The Union is much older than the Constitution." Logically, this is absurd. It is like saying that a marriage existed before either of the partners were born.

In addition, Dr. John provided the following: It appears that a centrist is a centrist, no matter what word one puts in front of the "ism." Dr. John writes:

Gunny:

I don't have a citation. But, I have a lead. Benito Mussolini admired Lincoln (and had a mutual admiration society with Lenin). I just read this in Jonah Goldberg's book. According to Goldberg...Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Mussolini, and Hitler shared many identical fascist and centralist/consolidationist ideas. Goldberg also points to how much closer the ideology of Hitler lies to nationalist-progressivism than the oft-cited 'right wing' or conservatives. Other 'fun facts to know and tell'...Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward" was a fanciful look on the emergent universal, progressive (fascist) state. His cousin, Francis Bellamy, wrote the 'Pledge of Allegiance' and co-founded The Society of Christian Socialists. From Goldberg: "In an expression of his (Francis Bellamy) 'military socialism', the Pledge of Allegiance was accompanied by a fascist or "Roman" salute to the flag in American public schools. Indeed, some contend that the Nazis got the idea for their salute from America." NOTE: The latter was researched by Rex Curry (www.rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

John

Gas Prices!

Dick Gaines — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 02:07:07 GMT

Ho Hum....
Dunno why I bother to post this--nobody sweats the rising gas prices anymore, at least I don't hear anyone p!ssin' and moaning about it. I guess we have long since realized there's nothing I (we) can do about it anyway.

GORDA, Calif.- Gas prices in California are at an all-time high. The statewide average price for a gallon of regular is now 58 cents more per gallon, than the same time last year.

But, there is one place on the Central Coast where you can expect to pay more than $5 a gallon. The Americo gas station in the tiny coastal town of Gorda, about 40 miles south of Big Sur, is selling gasoline for $5.19 a gallon for regular, and $5.39 for premium.

Despite high prices, the local gas stop grabs customers, without any competition. And according to locals, the pain at the pump isn't over yet as they plan to raise the prices another 20 cents in the coming weeks.

GORDA, Calif.- If you're going to be heading down the Big Sur Coastline anytime soon, you'll probably going to want to have a full tank before you leave with the price of crude oil skyrocketing. With gasoline following the same direction, the Americo gas station in Gorda, just south of Big Sur is selling premium unleaded gas for $5.39 a gallon. If you can do without premium regular's a relative bargain at $5.19.

Prices in many Bay Area cities remain above the statewide average with the price for a gallon of gas in Oakland at $3.51; San Francisco, $3.64; Salinas, $3.56; San Jose, $3.52; and Santa Cruz, $3.51. The average price for a gallon of gas in Santa Rosa sits just under the statewide average at $3.49 and in Vallejo a gallon is averaging $3.47, according to AAA.

03/05/08

BAY AREA, Calif.-The statewide average price for a gallon of gasoline has hit a all time high, AAA of Northern California announced Tuesday.

The average price throughout the state for one gallon of unleaded gas is $3.50, 1 cent more than the subsequent record for California, which was set in May of 2007.

"We're about 60 cents a gallon above where we were this time last year and last year was no bargain at the pump," said Sean Comey, AAA of Northern California spokesman, in a prepared statement.

"We may not have seen the worst of it yet," Comey said. "It's particularly troubling from the consumer's perspective that this is happening at this time of the year, when we often see prices that are relatively low."

OPEC will not put more oil on the global market, citing the stumbling U.S. economy as the reason for slackening demand in the near future.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries announced today that it decided not to pump more - or less - oil right now because crude supplies are plentiful and demand is expected to weaken in the second quarter.
