If no one else is involved, how did k**ler manage to get 23 weapons into his hotel room, without anybody including hotel security having a clue. I think there is more to this than they will let on. For once, I am more inclined to believe ISIS that my own government.
I would suggest a return to public h*****gs. If the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, it should consider the cruel and unusual means by which innocent victims are murdered by Islamic thugs.

What has that got to do with what happen in London yesterday? It is time to put the pedal to the medal. Stop this before it is too late.
Here is my solution.
Any Muslim in the US or Great Britain would be required to publicaly proclaim a loyalty oath to the United States or United Kingdom. Otherwise, kick them out of the country. So simple. There is no argument.

Yeah, I lived through it all too. V**ed for John Kennedy. Still think he was a fine President. V**ed afterwards for Barry Goldwater and was a Conservative from that moment on. This last e******n was far more than just about Conservatism. If Trump is really given his chance, he may be the best yet. The Spirit of Reagan may yet live on.

THE WORLD ECONOMY WITH JUST TWO COWS
C*******m
You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
Socialism
You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbor.
F*****m
You have 2 cows. The State tales both and sells you some milk.
Bureaucratism
You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other and then throws the milk away.
Traditional Capitalism
You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income
Venture Capitalism
You have two coms. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for 5 cows. The milk rights of the six cows are t***sferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
An Italian Corporation
You have two cows, but you do not know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
A French Corporation
You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a r**t, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
An American Corporation
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has died.

An Iraqi Corporation,
Everyone thinks that you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. Nobody believes you, so they bomb the crap out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy.
A British Corporation
You have two cows. Both are mad.
A Greek Corporation.
You have two cows borrowed from French and German banks. You eat both of them. The banks call to collect their milk, but you cannot deliver, so you call the IMP. The IMP loans yow two cows. You eat both of them. The banks and the IMF call to collect their cows/milk. You are out getting a haircut.

History of Revolutions. Time for a reality check. What do political groups like the Congress for Racial E******y (CORE), the Black Panthers, MS-13 (Radical political group from San Salvador operating in Los Angeles area), Congress for Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Black L***s M****r, want? Is it political and social justice? Is it a case of wanting to have a voice in society? Or, is it something different? Something malevolent? An end result worse than the beginning.
Why are many of these groups so destructive and violent?
Actually, our Declaration of Independence recognizes the right of revolution which is defined as political change or abolishment.
The second paragraph reads:
“-That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (i.e. the Declaration’s Principals), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.”
We are blind to the fact that the real end of these groups is new government, and the means, revolution…violence, destruction and elimination of those who defend our way of life (The Police and Military).
Let’s take a brief look at the history of political revolutions.
In the 18th. Century, America had its revolution. It resulted in a great republic which has become and endures as the greatest society in history.
Most of us see the American Revolution as the perfect model for all revolutions…….alas, it is not.
Our Revolution was successful because the men who made it (Englishmen) already lived under a Parliamentary form of government. Their issues had to do with representation in the English Parliament, and taxation without that representation. Consequently, they understood such concepts as human rights, freedom and participation in government.
After World War Two, the governments of the primary aggressors, Japan and Germany, were forcibly restructured as democracies, because of our military occupancy and strong American influence. As an example, the General Director of Japan in the post-war years was General Douglas McArthur who not only designed the Japanese Constitution, but established labor unions, the rights of women to v**e, v**er education, and other very American Democratic goals.
But, most of the history of revolutions is not like those revolutions.
Students, liberal intellectuals and the dissidents of society are usually at the heart of revolutions. Internal corruption and greed are the fuel that feeds revolutionary fires.
In 1789, the French Revolution took place, just as our Founding Fathers were v****g upon our Constitution. The French used our Revolution as a model to follow; they even had some of the Founding Fathers in Paris to direct their activities. Such men as George Mason, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
And yet for all that, the French Revolution failed, and a tyrant took over, Napoleon who ruled over the French until 1805. The question is why? And, the answer is surprisingly simple.
The French were politically ruled by a monarch, Louie the 14th. A society where human rights, freedom and participation in government did not exist, and were not even understood by the people. It is the French Revolution that is really the historical model for revolutions. And, revolutions are forced by people who want change and invariably wind up with a worse situation.
Take for example, China and Russia. Both totalitarian societies. The people driven by students, intellectuals and the dissident wanted change. And, change resulted in a more ruthless and totalitarian regime. The people were worse off.
Take for example, Vietnam and Cuba. Both corrupt and chaotic societies. The people driven by students, intellectuals and dissident wanted change. And, change resulted in a more ruthless and totalitarian regime. The people, again, were worse off.
The Romans understood this way back in the first Century AD.
Thucydides, a Roman Historian, said:
“Any intelligent man would choose the freedom to live in a republic, but republics are chaotic, corrupt and a case of one man living on the back of another man. Consequently, a despot has to come along periodically, to put things in order.”
If the radicals in our country have their way, we will be facing a revolution in our time. Because the concepts of human rights, freedom and participation are at least understood by some of our population, we may still have a Republic, but don’t count on it, and we may go the way of the French Revolution, Russia and Cuba.
The Roman Republic, ancient Carthage, the Czech Republic, Yugoslavia and Hong Kong were republics which no longer exist.
T***h is a concept which we rarely have the courage to face. As an example, not manufacturing leaving the country, not the availability of full time jobs, not economic gyrations of the dollar are the prime reasons for an out of control budget and federal debt in the United States; the real reason is Entitlements i.e. the giving of money to people who have not earned it. Some 50% of the budget is sucked up by Entitlements. But, to suggest this openly will get you a lot of h**e mail.
We tend to believe that all of our fellow citizens (and i******s) just want to have themselves noticed, have a say in their governing, be good and righteous participants in society, raise a family, have a job, and not cause any trouble to anyone. Sorry, it just isn’t so.
There are people and organizations within our 50 states who want to take away your government and make you subservient to new rulers. This is not conspiracy theory, but it is, unfortunately, the t***h. And, if we remain unwilling to face it, we will go the way of ancient Carthage and the Czech Republic.
Whether you are a card-carrying Conservative or a Hillary Clinton Liberal, our way of political life has no guarantee to last indefinitely. Have the sense to play a vital role in understanding real issues and act upon them, as the Founding Fathers did.
“Before the military c**p in Chile, we had the idea that military c**ps happen only in Banana Republics, somewhere in Central America. It would never happen in Chile. Chile was such a solid democracy. And, when it happen, it had brutal characteristics.” Isabel Allende

Why is it that women demand equal treatment from men, yet they continue to portray themselves as victims? Whether its Bill O'Reilly or Bill Cosby, most of these claims are dated, and there is no evidence that a complaint was ever filed in a reasonable length of time. There is such a thing as Statues of Limitation. These claims have then no legal merit, and are designed by so-called victimized women to get money from wealthy men. Have they no shame? Women who engage in this practice should bare all costs of attorneys and trials for their actions when courts rule against them. And, the attornies who support these claims should be disbarred. The treatment of an old man like Cosby is particularly unkind and brutal.
