Who You Calling "Mentally Ill?"

Congress Passes Bill to Stop Mentally Ill From Getting Guns

Prompted by the Virginia Tech University shootings, Congress yesterday approved legislation that would help states more quickly and accurately identify potential firearms buyers with mental health problems that disqualify them from gun ownership under federal law.

The deaths of 32 people in a shooting rampage by a mentally ill student on the Virginia Tech campus spurred Congress to address long-standing gaps in state records reporting that allowed the killer to purchase two guns.

The resulting bill -- based on legislation that had languished for years -- drew overwhelming bipartisan support, and the backing of both the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the National Rifle Association. Its Democratic sponsors worked for months to bring it to a vote, after Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) placed a hold on it.

Ron Paul: white supremacist's $500 donation to spread 'message of freedom'


WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) An aide to Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says the congressman won't be giving back a $500 campaign donation he received from a white supremacist.

The money comes from Don Black of West Palm Beach, Florida. He runs a Web site with the motto "White Pride World Wide." Black says he knows that Paul isn't a white nationalist. He says he likes Paul's stance on ending the war in Iraq and securing U.S.borders, and his opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants.

A Paul spokesman says the candidate will "take the money and try to spread the message of freedom." He says if someone with "small ideologies" thinks a donation will influence Paul, then he's "wasted his money." He says that Black now has $500 less to "do whatever it is that he does."

What's Under The Hood?

"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the ‘criminal justice system,’ I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."

"Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action."

International Immigrants Day: 12/18/07

“My fellow Americans, this is an amazing moment for me. To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak on behalf of the President of the United States that is an immigrant's dream. It is the American dream.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame...

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus
(1849-1887)

“Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Freedom

"Men are free when they are living in a living homeland, not when they are straying and breaking away.... The most unfree souls go West, and shout of freedom. Men are freest when they unconscious of freedom."

D. H. Lawrence
