  1. Nobody, but the next step was kind of obvious. The Guards at the Tomb of the Unknowns are some pretty serious soldiers.
  2. Watch closely, someone decided to be disrespectful, and dismissve of the guards duty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-dBwdeJSGo&NR=1 Maybe someone can get the audio cleared up.
  3. RIP Colonel Tibbets, you changed our fate. We all salute your service, and fortitude.
  4. Oh that's just great, delete the mans RIP thread, if it were not for hateful people like lisamariewillbe we may have all been able to pay our respects in a dignified adult manner. But for some people that is an impossibilty. I hope they expect the same treatment when their time comes to pass.
  5. One lunatic questioning the mental health of another person. Wow. I guess giving POTUS some sort of respect is an alien thought to Kucinich.
  6. I heard the concert she played last year recorded at the Park West. She is simply amazing, give her a listen. http://www.listentofeist.com/ http://www.myspace.com/feist

  8. Ah, I dont know I am sure I do not want to know I would bring popcorn and a lawn chair so I could observe the hilarity that would surely ensue.
  9. Do they allow persons in drag to attend the MArine Corps Ball? Just wondering...
  10. You really think yourself quite cute dont you! Keep throwing the bait professor, keep throwing the bait What would you expect from a Master Baiter?
  11. how many shooters can you fit in your car? Memphis has lots of opportunity.

  15. baltimoresun.com Was Ehrlich right about multiculturalism? By Robert Holland October 30, 2007 When he was governor of Maryland in 2004, Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. stirred a hornet's nest when he denounced multiculturalism as "bunk" on a talk-radio show. Because many Americans believe multiculturalism merely means teaching children in a wholesome way about diverse cultures, Mr. Ehrlich drew heat. Now, the National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME), the main advocacy organization for multiculturalism, is coming to Baltimore to hold its 17th annual national convention tomorrow through Sunday. Here is a perfect opportunity to examine the agenda and see if the former governor had a point. School board members ought to be particularly interested, because they approve the doling out of taxpayers' money for K-12 teachers from every state to attend the NAME convention. They ought to be welcome to sit in on any of the workshops and determine what multicultural messages their teachers are absorbing for use in the classroom. The co-sponsors of multiculturalism's biggest gathering include several beneficiaries of tax money, including the Maryland affiliate of the National Education Association (a longtime NAME ally), George Mason University and even the Maryland State Department of Education. School board members could start by attending one of the half- or full-day workshops on Halloween. Here are some of the choices from the NAME program: • "The Unbearable Whiteness of Being: Dismantling White Privilege and Supporting Anti-Racist Education in Our Classrooms and Schools." Taught by a professor from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, this session "is designed to help educators identify and deconstruct their own white privilege and in so doing more deeply commit themselves to anti-racist teaching and critical multicultural teaching." • "Talking About Religious Oppression and Unpacking Christian Privilege." This session, taught by a team of professors, "will examine the dynamics of Christian privilege and oppression of minority religious groups and nonbelievers as constructed and maintained on three distinct levels: individual, institutional and societal. A historical and legal lecturette will be presented and participants will engage in interactive learning modules." • "Beyond Celebrating Diversity: Teaching Teachers How to be Critical Multicultural Educators." Taught by NAME regional director Paul Gorski, founder of the activist group EdChange, this session will start from the premise that multiculturalism's greatest danger "comes from educators who ostensibly support its goals, but whose work - cultural plunges, food fairs, etc. - reflects a compassionate conservative consciousness rather than social justice. This session focuses on preparing teachers, not for celebrating diversity, but for achieving justice in schools and society." Workshops at NAME annual conventions (six of which I have attended since 1993) repeatedly advocate the teaching of "social justice." That term never seems to be defined, but its users simplify all American life as a saga of the oppressed vs. the oppressors. Skin color, national origin, gender, religion and sexual preference are among the qualities that put all individuals into one category or the other. There is method in such vagueness. The great free-market economist Friedrich Hayek once observed that entire tomes on social justice never offer a definition. As Michael Novak elaborated in an article in the December 2000 edition of the journal First Things, the term becomes "an instrument of ideological intimidation for the purpose of gaining the power of legal coercion." Not just in the daylong institutes but also in more than 150 smaller-group sessions that go on almost hourly throughout a NAME convention, presenters instruct teachers to go back to their schools and become social justice warriors. Those who are white are supposed to transcend their oppressor status by becoming change agents. Those who are Christian should feel just as guilty as the whites for all those their faith has victimized. Nothing but evil has come from the European cultures that led the way in America's founding. It is not necessary to accept my contention that ideological indoctrination permeates the multiculturalists' deliberations. Go to www.NAMEorg.org and read the full convention program. Better yet, ask to attend sessions that are of particular interest to you. After all, your tax money is paying for them, and for the lessons that teachers bring back for your children. Then, decide for yourself whether Bob Ehrlich was right. Robert Holland is a policy analyst for the Lexington Institute, a free-market-oriented think tank in Arlington, Va.

  16. University Forces All Students To Say That All Whites Are Racist David Storobin, Esq. - 11/1/2007 The University of Delaware recently made a decision to subject its students to mandatory "treatment" ('treatment' is a term used by the university) where they learn that "all whites are racist", racism by the 'people of color' is impossible, and George Washington is merely a "famous Indian fighter, large landholder and slave owner". The university requires that the students adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism. Students are forced to attend training sessions, floor meetings, and one-on-one meetings with their Resident Assistants (RAs). The RAs who facilitate these meetings have received their own intensive training from the university, including a “diversity facilitation training”. RAs are required to ask and students are forced to answer private questions such as “When did you discover your sexual identity?” After the one-on-one meetings, RAs must then prepare reports on each student's cooperation and viewpoint, ranking them and the progress they've made during "treatment". Students are not allowed to express disapproval of the "treatment" or of the questions that deal with their political views, sexuality and other private matters. Expressing disapproval will result in a negative report of the progress they've made during "treatment", which may result in punishment. Students are forced to achieve "competency" as a goal of the "treatment". 'Competency' requires that “Students will recognize that systemic oppression exists in our society,” “Students will recognize the benefits of dismantling systems of oppression,” and “Students will be able to utilize their knowledge of sustainability to change their daily habits and consumer mentality.” Student are also forced to take actions that outwardly indicate their agreement with the university’s ideology, such as displaying specific, school-approved door decorations and taking action by advocating for a social group that is defined as "oppressed" by the University.

Kerr, Director of Residence Life, University of Delaware: 302-831-1201; kkerr@udel.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following are quotes from the booklet that students must learn, which was compiled by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). "A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination. (This does not deny the existence of such prejudices, hostilities, acts of rage or discrimination.)"—Page 3 ——- "REVERSE RACISM: A term created and used by white people to deny their white privilege. Those in denial use the term reverse racism to refer to hostile behavior by people of color toward whites, and to affirmative action policies, which allegedly give ‘preferential treatment’ to people of color over whites. In the U.S., there is no such thing as ‘reverse racism.’"—Page 3 ——- "A NON-RACIST: A non-term. The term was created by whites to deny responsibility for systemic racism, to maintain an aura of innocence in the face of racial oppression, and to shift responsibility for that oppression from whites to people of color (called "blaming the victim"). Responsibility for perpetuating and legitimizing a racist system rests both on those who actively maintain it, and on those who refuse to challenge it. Silence is consent."—Page 3 ——- "Have you ever heard a well-meaning white person say, ‘I’m not a member of any race except the human race?’ What she usually means by this statement is that she doesn’t want to perpetuate racial categories by acknowledging that she is white. This is an evasion of responsibility for her participation in a system based on supremacy for white people."—Page 8 ——- "The notion of indigenous people as more akin to animals than human beings is at the basis of U.S. policy toward Native Americans. In 1784 George Washington, famous Indian fighter, large landholder and slave owner, advised the Continental Congress that it would be cheaper for the new nation to buy up Indian land than to make war on Indian people for the land. If you make war, Washington cautioned, ‘the savage as the wolf’—both wild beasts of the forest—will retreat for awhile and then come back to attack you. Washington’s metaphor stuck. The young U.S. nation-state, and all sectors of European- American; began to view the Native American as a wild animal."—Page 10 David Storobin is a New York lawyer who received Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Rutgers University School of Law.

  17. It is against the law, unless you get the TAX STAMP
  18. Yes but you cannot use that fact to punish those living today for the actions of those in the past.
  19. I found this and thought it would provide a nice discussion.
  20. # More Guns, Less Crime (ISBN 0-226-49364-4) # The Bias Against Guns (ISBN 0-89526-114-6) # Straight Shooting (ISBN-10: 0936783478) I wanted to see if he had numbers that showed if a particular type or caliber of firearm was more likely to protect you. Sadly, he did not have these numbers - but did point out that 90% of the time simply brandishing the gun worked, thus caliber wouldn't make much difference. Then I asked if had the numbers that showed how likely you were to still get hurt even if you used a gun for self defense. These numbers would show when peoples tactics, aim, or choice of fire arm failed. Well I found the numbers, and as you can see its pretty low. And one thing we can all agree on - any gun is better than none. Put some thought into the gun you use to defend your home. If you want to blow the budget for a SWAT team on arms, go ahead. If you have an Model 12 or 870 with some buckshot or your trusty side arm - odds are you will be OK if the time comes you need it. So - below is the numbers and the article on the page he referred me too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ johnrlott.tripod.com/other/NCVS.html Discussion by Brian Blase The National Crime Victimization (NCV) Survey from part of the 1990s (extracted from Table 7.1 of Armed by Gary Kleck and Don Kates) shows injury rates (pre-self protection and post- self protection) for crime victims who take a variety of self protective actions. The actions range from attacking the offender with a gun to yelling at offender and turning on lights to taking no self protection measures at all. A recent improvement in the NCV Survey allows analysts to separately identify injuries inflicted after the victim engaged in some form of self-protection. When investigating whether the self-protection measures are effective at reducing the likelihood of injury, it is necessary to compare the post-self protection injury rates for the different strategies with the injury rate when no self protection measure is taken. Taking the examples of confrontational robbery and assault shows an interesting story. After the self-protection method was employed, the rate of sustaining injury or further injury was lower in every instance than was the rate of sustaining injury when no self-protection measure was employed at all. Note that aggravated assaults are much more common than robbery. Data covering a longer period of time makes an even stronger case for defensive gun use. Percent Injured after Self Protection Action - Robbery - Assault Any SP with gun 7.7% 3.6% Chased, tried to catch O 9.6% 9.0% Ran/drove away; tried to 4.9% 5.4% Screamed from pain, fear 22.0% 12.6% Threatened O without weapon 5.8% 13.6% No SP measures at all 23.6% 55.2% Note: SP = self protection, O = offender
