A Word (or Two) About Wal-Mart

In words written that stand up for Wal-Mart in the concerted effort between unions and the Democratic Party to denounce the retail giant, we find that the Left continues to live in hypocrisy and tailor their politics to the union boss ideology, yet, surprisingly, the following quote comes from a New Hampshire union news publishing source …

Revealing the Dark Side of Illegal Immigration

Dr. Deborah Schurman-Kauflin is author of articles for the Violent Crimes Institute, her website. Her background is right on the site:

For twenty years, Dr. Schurman-Kauflin has studied serial killers. After starting her own company in 1997, the Doctor has profiled aberrant sex crimes, sadistic murders, serial rapes and murders, stalking, abductions, and other unusual cases for police around the world. In her first book, The New Predator, the Doctor detailed first ever in depth interviews and profiles of female serial killers. These profiles have been successfully used by police around the United States, and several of the Doctor’s cases have been featured on the Discovery Channel and CNN. In her second book, Vulture, the Doctor explores the minds and crimes of sadistic serial predators. After examining her own cases, studying dozens of other solved cases, researching the killers’ lives, and interviewing convicted sadistic killers, Dr. Schurman-Kauflin created new profiles of sadistic serial killers. Vulture provides a comprehensive, fascinating new look into the minds and crimes of sadists. … One of her studies was used to help get convicted child molesters removed from hotels near Disneyland in California.

Despite the politically correct crowd’s opinion, profiling is an important aspect of law enforcement. It helps in every day police situations, as well as Homeland Security in identifying and preventing terrorist acts occurring on a day-by-day basis.

Support the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Diane S., Wisconsin provides a “heads up” concerning breast cancer (edited) …

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to a woman who cannot afford the exam. The site is a commercial site, but clicking on the pink button at the index page will take you to a window explaining the program and advising you to click as often as possible (daily) because for every visit a donation goes to the Breast Cancer center. In addition, if you decide to purchase from them or the sites that are in coalition with this endeavor, a portion of the profit goes to the Breast Cancer Center.

Just be clicking on the pink button at the site, you can help a woman get a free mammogram in an effort to get women to take regular exams in order to catch those with cancer at an early stage in order to be cured.

Thank you for your participation.

Illegal Immigration Involves More Than You Realize

Whether or not the illegal immigrant arrived here with the purpose of just making his/her life better, as soon as they arrive they become part of the criminal element in the United States, and the criminal element takes advantage of this. How fair is this to a person who wants to really become an American to improve their lives and join us to keep this nation strong and alive, both in economical and security measures?

Snippets - In the News - November 27th 2006

While the cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian Islamofascists were agreed upon, rockets were fired by the Palestinians breaking the temporary truce, but Israel did not retaliate in order to attempt to stop the violence and come to some sort of agreement.

Light Side of Lighthouse - Letter to Home From a Marine

This humorous letter to folks of a Marine who are farmers was submitted by Diane S., Wisconsin:

Dear Ma and Pa,
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. but I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing.

New Dollar Coin for 2007

The new dollar coin will be the same size as the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, but will be gold in color to prevent it being confused with a quarter when making change.

Scheduled to appear in 2007, they will be produced with a different president appearing every three months – the series will honor four different presidents per year in the order they served in office. Each president will appear on only one coin except for Grover Cleveland who will be on two coins because he was the only president to serve non-consecutive terms. Former President William J. Clinton dreams of serving a non-consecutive term, if his wife doesn’t run in 2008.

The words “In God We Trust” will remain on the coin (established by an act of Congress in 1956) but will be moved to the edge of the new coin along with the words “E Pluribus Unum”.

Unlike the Eisenhower dollar coin, the dollar coin shrank in size when they were replaced during the administration of President Jimmy Carter, thus the Susan B. Anthony coin became known as the “Carter Quarter”. The coin was a failure because of its size and the confusion when making change with quarters. Between 2000 and 2002 an new dollar coin was made in honor of Sacajawea, the female Native American who was a guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition. That coin was the same size as the Anthony dollar, but was colored with a gold material (not real gold) in order to distinguish it from the U.S. quarter. Unfortunately, the gold-color material used caused the coin to tarnish. The new dollar coin will be gold in color, but with an added compound to prevent tarnishing. The rim of the coin will be smooth instead of textured in order to strike the words mentioned above. Note that the mint mark is also on the edge (rim) of the coin depicting city where it was minted, in the case of the drawing above, Philadelphia.

Thanksgiving Animation by Jacquie Lawson

Then and Now — Who is Running Your Life?

Dixie Lee, Iowa, sends some comparisons in American society scenarios, 1973 and 2006, that may have us reflect a bit on where America is heading …

Scenario 1: Jack pulls into school parking lot with rifle in gun rack.
1973 -Vice Principal comes over, takes a look at Jack’s rifle, goes to
his car and gets his to show Jack.
2006 - School goes into lockdown, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail
and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for
traumatized students and teachers.
