January 15 An InvitationI would like to extend an invitation to all bloggers
and readers of blogs
to e-mail me about judges in your areas that have
presided over court cases that are way out in left field
and the crazy judgements they have pass down.
I will post these stories on my blog
in the hope that we can get some of these judges
off the bench.
Please send your stories to
Martin Luther King, Jr.A Salute to
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Son of a prominent Atlanta Baptist minister, King graduated from Morehouse College after studying at Crozer Theological Seminary and Boston University. He became a pastor of a black Baptist church in Montgomery. In 1955, when Montogomery's Negro citizens initiated a boycott against segregation in the local buses, King was asked to head the movement. Chosen primarily because he was a newcomer, an impressive man, dignified, well-educated, and eloquent. These qualities projected him and the movement into national prominence, made him attractive to mass media, and elevated him into the foremost symbol of the black protect in America.
From 1960 to 1965, nonviolent direct action dominated the civil rights struggle, and the dramatic events and victories that followed were aptly described as the "Civil Rights Revolution" or the "Negro Revolt." Mr. King was associated with some of the most famous college campaigns, notably the struggle to desegregate places of public accommodation in Albany, Georgia in 1962, the celebrated 1963 Birmingham campaign which precipitated the great and climactic demonstration across the country that spring and summer. The 1965 confrontation in Selma, Alabama, over the issue of voter registration. King, the SCLC, and other activist organizations brought enough pressure to produce the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as Voter Registration Act of 1965.
In 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. was awarded the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. And, although he had premonitions that he would be killed, he refused to retreat from his activist role. In early 1968 King went to Memphis to lead demonstrations in support of black garbagemen seeking a living wage. There on April 4 he was killed by an assassin's bullet. He was a symbol of nonviolent direct action, and he eloquently voiced the black man's aspirations for full equality and integration into American society. The Poisoning of the Former KGB AgentJust a brief statement on the poisoning of the former KGB agent with Plutonium 210. The KGB is famous for poisoning people, not just Russians. It has been their main way of getting rid of those they looked upon as enemies for centuries, including former leaders. And, what easier way to slip the guy poison than by getting their closest friends to do the job. President Bush's New Strategy For IraqWell folks, I listened to President Bush's speech about his new strategy in Iraq. Where's the NEW strategy???? My opinion--too little, too late. 20,000 more troops is not going to change anything. The only way to stop the insurgency, is to get their attention with something BIG and Powerful or to obliterate them--both of which the US will not do. I also listened to the President's 60 Minutes Interview last evening. The President is correct on one thing, if we fail in Iraq, the terrorists will be emboldened to the point that we are going to have a lot of problems right here in rivercity with terrorists. And, Iran and Syria are going to be dancing in the streets and yelling how they chased us out of the Middle East.
Get That Mammogram!It's January
Ladies: Remeber to get that
yearly Mammogram!
It's very important to your health. January 07 What's Next?They (the government) told us that the reserve military forces guarding the US/Mexico border would stop the illegals. They told us the wall would stop the illegals. Well, I think they (the government) doesn't know what they are talking about. The following was a headline in the Albuquerque Journal this morning --Ex-Border Agents Are Facing Prison.
Two border agents were convicted last March for a shooting incident on the Mexico border. They were sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison for shooting at, and wounding a mexican nationalwho was fleeing south across the Rio Grande after abandoning a van carrying 743 pounds of marijuana. Not only are the two border agents going to do time in federal prison, but the mexican, drug-runner is now going to sue the two agents for millions for shooting him.
The American judicial system has gone too far! Mexicans are not guaranteed any rights under the American Constitution--how does this guy get protection under our court system? A citizen of Mexico, entering America illegally, sneaking drugs into our country, runs from the border agents, who shoot at him when he takes off running, trying to get back into Mexico where he can't be prosecuted, and who gets the prison sentence? The border agents. What a bunch of bull.
What is this country going to do when we no longer have the military to protect us because they are put in prison for deaths that happen in the line-of-duty. (And, I'm not talking about the military members who intentionally murder civilians.) And, we no longer have border agents to stop the constant stream of illegals crossing our borders because they'll be put in prison. The situation is getting crazy.
