... "Are these stupid creatures the only ones that have been so domesticated that they have lost the ability to protect themselves and their young? Are they the only ones that have had the independence and cunning bred out of them? Are they the only ones that depend on their owners to feed and protect them? Are they the only ones that have become property rather than self-reliant individuals?"
"Regrettably, there are human turkeys who have become so used to being cared for that they are now unable to recognize enemies, much less to protect themselves and their young. There are human turkeys who have been treated as domestic animals for so long that they have come to think of themselves that way."

Excellent commentary. Perhaps from now on, we should refer to the "sheeple" as "domesticated turkeys." |

"...since Sept. 11 and the government's expansive campaign of monitoring and detention, people are turning to the 82-year-old organization to help safeguard their liberties. Among them are conservatives who made the phrase 'card-carrying member of the ACLU' a political insult, but who now are signing up."

As stated on the page:

The Brady law and other laws contain language that attempts to restrict firearm owner lists. So, to get around that, they now invite voluntary listing. You don't suppose this will be used to return a stolen firearm to you do you? |

"Yahoo! Inc. asked an appeals court to uphold a lower court's ruling that said the second-biggest Internet auction service doesn't have to obey a French court order to remove Nazi symbols from its Web site."
"Yahoo, which went to court in the U.S. to keep two French civil rights groups from enforcing the French order, told the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals it faces daily fines of 100,000 francs ($15,198)." ...
-------
Ignore the "Nazi symbols" red herring and look at the bigger picture. This legal case has far reaching implications for liberty advocates. If the backwards socialist French government can dictate what an American-based company can or cannot put on its website, imagine what could happen when some society of fools makes it illegal to show pictures of firearms, to advocate enforcement of the right of the people to keep and bear arms... etc.
If these Marxists had their way, any anti-gun, anti-rights nation could issue similarly large fines against any American liberty advocacy organization -- like KeepAndBearArms.com, for example -- for "offensive" site content.
While we certainly would not advocate Nazism (BATF does a good enough job at that), we say the French are wrong on this issue -- dead wrong -- and applaud the American judges who agree. |

FULL TEXT PROVIDED...about how monkeys are superior to unarmed Japanese peasants...
-------
NAGANO -- Fourteen women were injured Monday after a wild monkey went on the rampage in a residential area of Shimosuwa, Nagano Prefecture, authorities said.
Police and local health officials armed with tranquilizer guns and nets launched a hunt for the 1-meter tall Japanese macaque, but it remains at large.
"An extremely violent ape is roaming the town. Please avoid making eye contact when you spot it," said a warning issued through outdoor public address systems which have been installed across the town for emergency uses.
Police said the 14 victims -- from women in their teens to those in their 70s -- were tackled, scratched, or bitten by the monkey from around 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. One of the victims, a 72-year-old woman, was badly bitten around her right knee while hanging out laundry and was hospitalized. Another elderly woman broke her arm after she fell while being chased by the ape.
A Shimosuwa official said the strong macaque could be extremely agitated because it was chased out of its habitat after losing out in a fight with another male monkey over who would rule their domain. (Mainichi Shimbun, Dec. 2, 2002)
-------
In many parts of America, turning this monkey loose would be a death warrant for the little critter. But in Japan, if the "authorities," with their guns, aren't able to get him... "don't make eye contact" is about their best chance, and even then they may be hospitalized. |

"Agent Robert Moen fired his gun into the car to prevent Brooks from leaving. One of the bullets struck Brooks in the neck. He was in fair condition Monday afternoon. The El Paso County District Attorney's office is investigating." |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
