Quotes

“You know how to solve political correctness? Don’t do it.”~Brad Stine

"Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive."~Author Unknown

"The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right -- it is the very opposite. It is a deep wound in society."~ Pope Benedict XVI

"I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away."~Thomas Jefferson

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."~Benjamin Franklin

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."~Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria

"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset."~C.S. Lewis

A shooting at one of the most Gun-restricted places

Tragedy struck on Thursday, February 14th, 2008: there was a shooting at NIU. Six people are dead, with over a dozen more injured.

Interesting...NIU has strict anti-gun rules in place. Some people say that Gun Control stops crime. Six dead men would argue against that. What if one of the 150 students had possessed a gun? Why, fire could have been returned and some people might still be alive. The situation couldn't have 'escalated', as some might be tempted to say. If someone is shooting at innocent, unarmed people, the situation can't really escalate any further! If the possession of guns is what causes crime, why don't these types of things happen out at shooting ranges, or in military bases, or police stations, or...Alaska and Vermont in general...where everybody has guns! Maybe could it be that since everyone has a gun, someone can take out the jerk before innocent people die?

I hope the Supreme Court strikes down the D.C. Gun laws in the upcoming decision. Maybe that could stop things like this before they start.

Edit: This man states it better than I ever could.

Remember 9-11

I will never forget the 3,000 innocent deaths. Will you forget them? I will never forget the men who have sacrificed themselves to protect my freedom, my rights, and my life; they paid with their lives. Will you forget them? I will never forget the people slaughtered brutally by a genocidal dictator. Will you forget them? The world will forget many things, but this I pray, that the people who died on the 11th of September and the soldiers who died afterwards will always be remembered, for as long as the Red, White, and Blue flies proud and strong. Osama, we're coming for you!
