A good journalist checks two sources always.
Therefore I feel safe to inform our faithful readers that:
Papers have once again been trashed.
This is the 3rd time this year. 2nd time this issue.
WHERE IS OUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH? The people on the left claim they are DEFENDERS OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM? Where is our liberty? Our Freedom? Our FIRST AMENDMENT?!

Would you like to buy some PoPCorn?
It is interesting how in America... we can have a situation where people see something but choose not to see it. The ACLU for example. This group esposes freedoms and liberties, yet at the same time destroys the ones they dont like. (Pretty much anything to do with traditional American Values.)
Well It looks as if a BoyScout troop may have used this to their advantage. Click on the link behind the link below to go to the full story.
When people see this sort of thing, the only thing I dont understand, is why there isnt more of an outcry against the ACLU? Who controls these people? They are here to serve us correct? Why cant the people simply rise up and rid the country of this parasite?
Oh the frustration. Next time you enjoy doing something, try and think of where the ACLU would fall on that issue. We came up with some examples. See behind the link below.
**Click Here For Story**
-Going to church? Well maybe they think you should pay a double road tax since you are doing something that benefits your own religious belief and not someone elses. Why should you get to ruin the roads for a religious purpose?
-Kids get charged with murder all the time, and serve time as an adult at ages below 17 and 18. So you know the first time one of these Teacher/Student relationships come up where the student WANTS to stay with the Teacher, the ACLU will use the sentencing argument in the case.
-The Ban of Religious TV and Radio information. What do I mean by information? Because much of the airwaves are controlled and subsidized by the government, you know the first chance the ACLU gets, it will push to eliminate any mention of God on TV or Radio... it has already happened a few times.
These are just a few guesses at what they might try next. Who knows... maybe it will be worse?

Two articles that raised my brow...
Target targets Salvation Army - As long as I know, Salvation Army has always been outside Target during the holy-days, and messing with tradition like that just ticks my face right off.
Catalogue for Philanthropy in the United States - I find it amusing that "Red" states, which are considered more rural and poor, give more of a percentage than "Blue" states, which are considered higher-class, do when it comes to charity and philanthropy.

Parents Need a license.
Alright, normally I would let our litigious society sue themselves into the ground, but this story did me in:Wal-Mart Suit. The problem isn't so much that some family is looking to make a quick buck, but that they in fact think they have been wronged and believe they are "doing the right thing" and are "responsible parents." Parents, REALLY should be required to get licensed to have kids, simply so we can strip them of their license and give their children to deserving people...
The story here is simple. Parents bought a CD and their 13yr old daughter played it and heard a bad word. To them it is worth $75,000. Let me repeat, their daughter heard a bad word on a cd, they want a down payment on a house.
My professor swore, do I get a job in the Whitehouse? WHO are these people and why do all the idiots get to make money from suing companies?
Lets listen to the dad and see his mindset: "I don't want any other families to get this, expecting it to be clean. It needs to be removed from the shelves to prevent other children from hearing it," said plaintiff Trevin Skeens of Brownsville. (From yahoo.news)
Alright, so the parents bought the CD, didn't see the little sticker

Orange Revolution = Democracy.
The idea of Cold War and Motherland Russia seemed to be simply memories to some of us or simply historical writings in some textbook. Yet few of us would consider any remnants of the Cold War to be left over except for some buildings and symbols left scattered around central and eastern Europe.
Unfortunately this is not the case. The situation in the Ukraine has taken on a significance that far extends the limits of the one or two stories American journalist have given the situation. A peaceful Revolution, a democratic outcry, and a situation all to prevalent in newly democratic nations clashed last month, and the people demanded freedom, yet we continue instead, to receive a death count in Iraq, and stories of cabinet members fleeing the Bush Administration.
To read up on this situation two websites, both pro-Yuschenko and pro-revolution, are good at basic and somewhat inspirational accounts of the events. They also provide good links in English.

Papers Stolen.
Last night, Dec. 6th, an entire Rack of papers were stolen from the UGL. In their place was a flyer that depicted George W. Bush, with pictures of lynching below him.
This is the third time, that we know of, that we have had papers stolen. The first time was last year, and we also received a nice little message on that one.
What cracks me up is that the Left, the opposition to our paper and our philosophy, is supposed to be the big champions of FREE SPEECH AND EXPRESSION. Yet, why then, is our opposition squelching us?
