Tag, You're Expelled
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 9:31 AM
This is a bit much ... 
A Colorado Springs elementary school is banning the game of tag on its playground -- after some children complained that they'd been chased or harassed against their will.

And how about this ...

A student who said she was told she wouldn't get her diploma unless she apologized for a commencement speech in which she mentioned Jesus has filed a lawsuit alleging her free speech rights were violated.

Crazy stuff going on in Denver education.  But other states are having issues, too ...

A 13-year-old student who drew a picture of a gun on his homework at Payne Junior High School in Queen Creek was suspended from school, reported KPHO-TV in Phoenix.

I have...
...the Pro-Carry II in Stainless Steel, and the TLE-RL.

If it's your first firearm, I would recommend neither. You would be better off with something simple like a Sig-Sauer P226 in 9mm.

If you already know what you're doing....either is good, but the TLE is full sized and the ProCarry is a shorter barrel.

Kimbers are a little expensive.....

Ya gotta love it.
Paddy, you are probably dead on. BTW I downloaded Kimbers catalog yesterday. Man that's beautiful! Which of those hummers would you suggest (that is which ones do you have?)

Yeah, blame liberals
This is obviously fallout from Sen. Craig's little game of Gay Sex Footsie Tag.

Not surprised
This is what we get. In the late 90's, The Peoples Republic of Santa Monica banned tag from the playground. This was because when you get tagged, you become a victim.

The other points are clear attacks on the First Amendment.

The Left does want us all to be good automotoms. It is what Neal Boortz calls "The wussification of America" ("Someone's Gotta Say It, by Neal Boortz.) I am glad that Erica Corder is not going down without a fight. You go girl.

This is exactly...
...what Lefty wants: a generation of scared little wimps, which will breed more wimpiness in the future.

Our freedoms have not been taken away in one fell swoop, they have been eroded slowly so the hypnotized masses fail to notice. We suddenly look up one day and say, "How did we get here...?"

Try to imagine explaining to George
Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other FOUNDING FATHERS, that witin 250 years "School children will be punished for invoking the name of Jesus and doodling an image of a gun?.............Are we sure that we won the cold war?

Superbad
And just think if a child had the same issue with drawings that Seth did in Superbad - the liberals would probably think it is completely normal.
