This Day in History

On this day in 1856 a party was founded to oppose the pro-slavery policies of the Democrats.

And the Democrats are still working to keep people enslaved,
by working to raise taxes,
by working to reduce/restrict law enforcement,
by denying equal rights to all while they try to grant special rights to some,
by attacking our right to keep and bear arms,

Splash one satellite!!!

Surface Warfare means you command the sea, under the sea, your airspace and now, space itself.

WASHINGTON - The USS Lake Erie, armed with an SM-3 missile designed
to knock down incoming missiles—not orbiting satellites—launched the
attack at 10:26 p.m. EST, according to the Pentagon. It hit the
satellite as the spacecraft traveled at more than 17,000 mph.

Splash one satellite!!!

USS Lake Erie (CG 70) fired a single modified tactical Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) and successfully impacted a non-functioning National Reconnaissance Office satellite approximately 247 kilometers (133 nautical miles) over the Pacific Ocean, as it traveled in space at more than 17,000 mph.

Preliminary reports indicate the SM-3 missile struck its primary target, which was a tank full of toxic hydrazine rocket fuel carried aboard the 5,000-pound satellite, Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters at a Pentagon news conference.

"The intercept occurred. We're very confident that we hit the satellite," Cartwright said. "We also have a high degree of confidence that we got the tank."

Obama wins Wisconsin

And how do I know Obama won Wisconsin.

Because:

Update: Hillary Clinton is now speaking from Youngstown, Ohio.

Yep, Clinton has fled from her latest defeat.
Clinton is not only a cheater, but she is also a coward.

JFK: New stuff found

The Dallas
County district attorney's office has unearthed a treasure trove of
memorabilia from the aftermath of President John F. Kennedy's
assassination in an old safe on the 10th floor of the courthouse.

"Lee: You said the boys in Chicago want to get rid of the Attorney General.

Ruby: Yes, but it can't be done ... it would get the Feds into everything.

Lee: There is a way to get rid of him without killing him.

Ruby: How's that?

Lee: I can shoot his brother."

Stupid jarhead, Lee Harvey Oswald shot the wrong RFK brother,
he was supposed to have shot Ted Kennedy. Stupid jarhead.

WikiLeaks facing US Censorship

I am posting this because the judge in this case has gone too far. A complete and permanent shutdown of the site because one party complains, the judge could have/should have ordered the blocking/removal of the documents from this party until a hearing could be held. This is wrong.

What is WikiLeaks?

Wikileaks is developing an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact. Our interface is identical to Wikipedia and usable by all types of people. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources.

We believe that transparency in government activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies. All governments can benefit from increased scrutiny by the world community, as well as their own people. We believe this scrutiny requires information. Historically that information has been costly - in terms of human life and human rights. But with technological advances - the internet, and cryptography - the risks of conveying important information can be lowered.

Wikileaks opens leaked documents up to stronger scrutiny than any media organization or intelligence agency can provide. Wikileaks provides a forum for the entire global community to relentlessly examine any document for its credibility, plausibility, veracity and validity. Communities can interpret leaked documents and explain their relevance to the public.

8th Night of Moslem rioting in Denmark

The 8th night of torchings took place in Denmark last night.
Several schools and hundreds of cars have been torched.
ITN reported:

A
total of 20 towns were hit by fires on Sunday night, with around 29
people arrested - most of them for arson or attempted arson.

In two cases the fires were so strong that blocks of flats had to be evacuated.

Bands
of young people have vandalised or set fire to hundreds of cars and a
number of schools in the past week, however the situation was said to
have been improving over the weekend.

Police said they could give no reason for the behaviour, but said unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed.

Social
workers believe an alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist for his
drawing two years ago of the Prophet Mohammad may have fuelled the
riots. Fifteen Danish newspapers reprinted his drawing on Wednesday in
protest against the alleged murder plot.

Most Muslims consider depictions of the Prophet offensive.

Clinton is a cheater

Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped
Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the
very penalty he helped pass.

In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member
contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two
states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said
millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise
disenfranchised -- before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions.

Last fall, Mr Ickes supported the tough penalties against states with early primaries,
then Senator Clinton forgot to withdraw her name from those state primaries,
Now Senator Clinton wants (needs) those delegates to win,
Change the rules, so, I win - Senator Clinton can not play by the rules and win.
