Choice... Update

http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2007/08/20/seattle-washington-fbi-searching-for-suspicious-ferry-passengers/

Seems there were two guys riding the Washington State ferries and asking many questions about the operation, and vulnerabilities(?), of the ferries they were riding. This along with taking photos of the vessels structure made it look suspicious in a region known where terrorist have attempted to enter the United States before…

The authorities and FBI have asked the public for assistance in locating these two individuals shown in photos but the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper refused to publish the photos to help determine the intentions of these “Quizzical boat riders”…

The newspaper has the right to report or not report any story as they wish for it’s their paper and business decision. The readers have the right to choose to support or not support the paper with their readership as does the citizen who reports suspicious behavior such as this.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper is appropriately located on the “Left” coast and some may feel that the papers decision not to run these photos is a “Political” statement on their part. That is their choice and they are free to make it…

I just hope it doesn’t turn out that these guys were in fact terrorist conducting research for a future terrorist attacks on ferries carrying hundreds of passengers in a known region where terrorist have already conducted research and plans for attacks.

Worse yet I hope this newspaper did not assist these two possible terrorist from being questioned and they have now moved on to other American cities where they may be conducting “Research” but in disguise…

Democrats = Forgetful Gun owners...

.

What is it with Democratic Party Politicians and and wayward handguns? One of the first things taught when you go for a Concealed Weapons Permit is that you are required to know the location, operation, staus, and security of your handgun at ALL times...

The Baltimore Sun Reports the following incident where ANOTHER Democrat forgets where his handgun is and is busted in a high security public place...

Rep. Hinchey's gun charge draws suspended sentence

The Baltimore Sun January 6, 1995, Friday, FINAL EDITIONARLINGTON, Va. --

"Rep. Maurice Hinchey of New York pleaded no contest yesterday to a charge of carrying a loaded handgun in his baggage at Washington National Airport and was given a suspended sentence. The Democratic lawmaker appeared before District Judge Joseph Gwaltney, who ruled that the sentence would be suspended and lifted automatically in a year. "The handgun was inadvertently in a piece of luggage I took from my upstate New York home when I drove back to Washington for the late-November congressional session, and it was still in that piece of unopened luggage on Dec. 1 when I decided to fly back to New York," Mr. Hinchey said in a statement"

Anybody remember a few months back when Virginia DEMOCRATIC party Senator James Webb did not maintain the security and integrity of his loaded 9mm handgun which his aide attempted to take into a congressional building by mistake. The aide also had two extra ammunition mags with the Senator's loaded handgun...

Also please note that if either you or me were to be stopped in these locations with a loaded handgun we would surely be doing time in the Pokey with a "felony" conviction... I wonder if Hillary would fight to restore my voting rights after being a felon?...

25 Year Anniversary of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981

.

Senator George Allen has a great column over at Townhall.com about the 25th anniversary of the Reagan "Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981"...
http://townhall.com/columnists/GeorgeAllen/2007/08/13/reagan_tax_cuts_lifted_americans

"Tax relief revitalized an America that at the time was measuring its status by a “Misery Index,” calculating the combined rates of inflation, interest, and unemployment. The general “malaise” that was the Carter Administration was replaced by President Reagan’s optimism. Census Bureau statistics bear out the benefits of President Reagan’s tax relief, Americans prospered and their lives improved with lower inflation (from 13.5% in 1980 to 4.1% in 1988); lower interest rates (from 18% on a 30 year fixed mortgage in 1981 to 8% in 1987); and outstanding job growth (unemployment had peaked at near 10% in the recession of 1981-1982 and dropped to 5.5% in 1989 once the whole 25% tax cut took effect). The American people kept more of what they earned, saw investments increased, and in the process, enjoyed the creation of 17 million new jobs."

Impressive...

Took a ride in West Virginia yesterday and ran across this memorial dedicated to those who have served our country...

This memorial also included those things that have made this country great...
