MUST WE ARM OURSELVES AGAINST TEENAGE GANG ATTACKERS?
- Good Samaritan: 'He was trying to talk and I said: "No, stay there. I got you."'
A Vietnam veteran was so badly beaten up in a random attack by a gang of teenagers that his skull was fractured.
Edward Schaefer, 64, who lost an eye while serving his country, was attacked from behind as he walked to meet his wife at a bus stop in the Olney district of Philadelphia.
Police have now arrested one of the six male suspects, after dozens of tip-offs from the public and help from schools, CBS News reported.
But the search is on for the remaining members of the gang who left Mr Schaefer with injuries to his head and hands.
Brutal: Edward Schaeffer was left with a fractured skull after he was set upon from behind by six thugs in the Olney district of Philadelphia
Officers say one of the gang started the attack and then the others joined in.
CUT THE RHETORIC AND STOP SPENDING - 'NO' TO ANY INCREASE IN THE 'DEBT CEILING'
Our Only Chance To Stop
Obama's Debt Ceiling Increase...
URGENT: The House of Representatives Wednesday approved a resolution rejecting Barack Obama's request for yet another $1.2 trillion increase to the debt ceiling. If the Senate follows suit, Obama's debt ceiling increase can be stopped.Obama's Debt Ceiling Increase...
First things first... Thank You! Your faxes, phone calls and letters are working. All but one Republican in the House of Representatives were joined by six Democrats in telling Barack Obama "NO MORE DEBT!"
But now is not the time to get complacent. We must now turn up the heat on the Senate. Because, thanks to the bogus debt ceiling "deal" Congressional Republicans struck with Obama and Harry Reid back in August, if the Senate doesn't act, the debt ceiling will be raised... Automatically.

Read this and tell me we are not in deep trouble. ~Bob. Excerpt: CNN reports that a draft treaty gives China total control over three big areas, including gas and oil deposits both on the ground and in the Gulf. All personnel are Chinese, not Iranian. Security is in the hands of the Chinese, not the Iranians. There are now upwards of ten thousand Chinese military men in Iran, organizing operations at these sites, which are slated to remain under Chinese control well into the 2020s.
COMMON-SENSE TELLS US WE CANNOT SPEND OUR WAY OUT OF DEBT
The “big story” of the U.S. economy is that we have substituted expansion of debt for meaningful increases in productivity. Real growth based on rising productivity is sustainable, “growth” based on ever-greater expansions of debt is not. |

Libya could fall into 'bottomless pit', leader warns
Excerpt: Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, the head of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council, warned on Sunday the country could be heading towards a "bottomless pit" after protesters stormed a government office in Benghazi when he was inside. A crowd demanding the resignation of the Libyan government smashed windows and forced their way into the NTC's local headquarters late on Saturday, in the most serious show of anger at the new authorities since Moammar Gadhafi was ousted. (The busting things up is easy and fun. The building of a modern nation based on values that allow advancement, like free institutions and property rights, is very hard. We were very lucky after our revolution to have men who believed in freedom. [Even now, protecting property rights, the basis of economic prosperity, is an on-going challenge for us.] No Arab nation has been able to do it. Eventually an autocrat will emerge. The only question is, how actively Anti-American will he be. ~Bob.)
