The People’s Cube has hilarious pictures mocking the Progressives.  Their road to serfdom poster is spot on!

    Where did this great country start going wrong? Was it when we elected FDR? Earlier, when the courts started grabbing more power for themselves & an ever-stronger central government?

    Some would say the beginning of the end of the United States started with Lincoln’s illegal war of northern aggression against the Southern States. :evil:

    No, but you’re close. It was when General Lee thought it was a good idea to sneak upon the Union forces and then approach them head on from a couple of miles away over flat open ground at Gettysburg.

    Dude, you’re 82. The others are probably all in their 70s or 80s, too. Cancer is what gets you if you live long enough and avoid all the other common causes of death.

    And then there are those Germans who call home every five minutes to tell what they have done the last half an hour, what they are just doing and what they will do in the next five minutes. Boaring if you sit in a nice restaurant like this one and have to listen to it all evening long.

    From the BBC

    At least 14 people have been killed in a shooting at a Batman film premiere in the US city of Denver.

    About 50 people have been injured in the incident, police say.

    1 in custody, 14 dead in Aurora movie theater shooting

    AURORA -- There is one suspect in custody after 14 people were shot and killed at the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center.

    There were at least 50 people injured to Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates.

    Oates says 10 died at the theater and four died at the area hospital.

    Nicole Williams, with Swedish Medical Center, says the hospital was allerted to a mass casualty incident at 1:15 a.m. Friday.

    Williams says the hospital was told to prepare for at least 20 patients.

    According to witnesses, the shooter kicked in the emergency exit door in theater 9, threw some sort of disorienting smoke bombs and started shooting.

    The Aurora Town Center is in the 14000 block of East Alameda Avenue in Aurora.

    The charge to have it turned on (Sprint) was zero. A $ 5/month charge gets me a roughly 50 cent/minute discount on voice, so it (voice) winds up at $ 2.40/minute for Bolivia and Panama. I bought this Crackberry specifically to have an emergency communication link, as my antique dumb phone didn’t work outside the US. 5 cents to receive a text, 50 cents to send one. But I gotta do what I gotta do -- all part of doing business in the Turd World… Hell, the only reason I had even a dumb phone is that I was completely cut off in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in Houston back in 2008, so when the opportunity presented itself, I bought it, and a broadband modem, too. Don’t have the data transmission enabled here, though -- that way lies bankruptcy.

    Too be honest it is difficult most of the times. Especially if they are wearing western apparel. If they are wearing cultural apparel it’s easy. One thing I look for is forehead markings. Men and women of Indian and Hindu upbringing will quite few times have markings on their foreheads.

    James Holmes, 24, of North Aurora, was apprehended at the scene clad in a bullet-proof vest and riot helmet.

    Witnesses said Holmes crashed into the movie theater from an emergency exit door at the front of the auditorium, setting off a smoke bomb and then shooting off dozens of rounds from multiple firearms, police told ABC News.


  72. 73 | July 20, 2012 8:27 am

    Here’s an interesting story. One of the Aurora victims was at the Eaton Center in Toronto and just missed being in the food court during that shooting a little over a month ago.

    While I would agree with that in general, there were already inroads against liberty even before that. I think the rot got really bad when so many of the perps from the failed 1848 Marxist revolts in Europe were allowed to come here -- mostly to the north, of course!
