American Gladiators, American Patriots

Posted by Steve Falcon on Thursday, July 06, 2006 12:39:14 AM
 For those of you who don't know why we're able to enjoy the freedoms we so readily take for granted, Jeanette at Hang Right Politics turned me on to this link. These people are the best of the best, the bravest of the brave. And they do their jobs for far less money than they are worth.

Take a moment to look at the faces of the true patriots who didn't get to celebrate the Fourth of July with their families because they were busy keeping us safe. Say a prayer and thank God for their service to your liberty.

And always remember...Freedom is not free.

Latino Gang Conspired to Kill Blacks

Posted by Steve Falcon on Thursday, July 06, 2006 12:36:58 AM
 Federal prosecutors allege that members of the Avenues in L.A. plotted to commit violence against African Americans.

There have been major issues between Black and Latino gangs for decades in regard to turf wars. But this is the first case I've heard of where the federal government is seeking to use "a federal hate-crime law based on the amendment to the U.S. Constitution that outlawed slavery, and another law created in the civil rights era, to go after four gang members."

I, for one, applaud this action and would feel the same way if it was a Black gang terrorizing Latinos. Gang violence is an issue that should be dealt with at the federal level because of it's impact on society and connection to the drug trade.

The North Korean Missile(s) Launch

Posted by Steve Falcon on Thursday, July 06, 2006 12:30:41 AM
 Well, it looks like North Korea went through with it's threats to launch short-range and long-range missiles toward the United States. They fired six missiles July 4, 2006 (conveniently timed, huh?) and a seventh missile.

Although the two long-range Taepodong-2 missiles could theoretically have reached Alaska, they never had a real chance of reaching our shores because they fizzled out in the Sea of Japan.

The international community is in an uproar. The U.N. Security Council has convened for an emergency session where Japan proposed a draft resolution, supported by the United States, Britain and France, condemning North Korea.

This is a situation we desperately need to confront sooner rather than later. Liberals won't want to do it, but they never do. That's one of the reasons we didn't put them in power.

Republicanpundit has a great article about the third member of the Axis of Evil that expands on this story. Please check it out.
