I recall reading somewhere that Berg the younger was a supporter of Bush.

I have no agenda to place blame, but when I first heard he was out there by his own accord, I couldn't believe it. There are better places to look for work than an insane warring coutry. While he of course, didn't deserve any harm to come to him, I would imagine he took into consideration at...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Most Baghdad residents on Wednesday condemned al Qaeda's beheading of a U.S. civilian in Iraq, but many said his death was just the latest atrocity in a cycle of violence that is driving them to despair. (continues) Well, that's what so many people wanted. Not all...

There's dozens of videos and images of Islamists sawing off the heads of "infidels" scattered around the web, and you can find them if you search carefully enough and are willing to endure the ensuing nightmares. From Russian soldiers in Afghanistan, to Indonesia, wherever Muslim...

Mmm.... fresh grass...

Moral busybodies So you think that the government should take responsibility for sheltering your children from ideas and images you find distasteful, instead of you, as their parent? What is ominous is the ease with which people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that...

Orson Scott Card (a Democrat) on this question http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2004-04-25-1.html ... the chief guru of our enemies, Osama bin Laden, holds as the first principle of making war on the U.S. that if you just draw enough blood, and keep it going on long enough, America will...

The May 10 edition of GunWeek is up on the website, but Dave Workman's article on this situation is listed under the "Articles appearing exclusively in the print edition of this issue of GunWeek" heading, with the headline: "NH Man Angered over Police Conduct in Open Carry Beef". The Gun...

Yea, that's it. Run away from the problem. Let someone else deal with it. We really are becoming a "Nation of Cowards." The Southern Baptist Convention will vote on a resolution urging all members to pull their kids out of the government schools. There's a limit to "working within the...

Who introduced this bill? Who worked on it? Is the NM legislative record available for searching? The legislative intent is the key to the proper interpretation, and if the drafters and the enacters of this bill meant 30 days, not 60 or 90, then that's the key factor in a challenge to this...

We talked with the agency further, and it appears that the main problem is that they're applying Massachusetts standards to New Hampshire culture. They seem to think that only police should carry guns, as is generally enforced by law in Massachusetts. We are waiting to hear back from a New...

It seems that his advisors have an approach to foreign affairs that's on the one hand, thumping the globe with a lump-hammer - whilst on the other saying "But no, we're nice, we're here to help these people... and hanging them out to dry. Better a lump hammer than a cruise missile up a...

We already know that he'd scored a wide assortment of chemical weapons - he used them against the Iranian army and the Kurdish civilian population in northern Iraq: http://www.phrusa.org/research/chemical_weapons/chemiraqgas2.html And many of the Democrats who are now crying foul over the...
