  Texas CPS Attacks Church, But Avoids The Facts: Forty-five percent of all Hispanic births occur outside of marriage         


Author: Trace
Date: May 4, 2008 12:43

Below is an article that will make every man hating lesbian, and
marxist happier than a pig in slop. To the rest of us, now we know
what is really happening to our country. And, the Texas CPS office
obviously ignores unwed births in the "hispanic" community while
attacking a church for a host of made up reasons. Where are your
tanks now, CPS? Where are your snipers? Are they headed to hispanic
communities to stop unapproved baby making?
What is worse? Millions of illegal aliens saying they are going to
take over America, or thug operations like CPS that think they own
your kids?

Heather Mac Donald: Surge in birth rate among unwed Hispanics creating
new U.S. underclass

10:01 AM CST on Sunday

Unless the life chances of children raised by single mothers suddenly
improve, the explosive growth of the U.S. Hispanic population over the
next couple of decades does not bode well for American social
stability.

  Military donations to anti-war candidates rise

Military donations to anti-war candidates rise
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/05/army_militarydonors_050408w/

Republicans receive the largest slice of presidential campaign
contributions made by military members and their spouses, but leading
anti-war candidates are getting a substantial cut, too, according to an
independent analysis of political contributions.

From January 2007 through March of this year, service members or
civilian employees of the military donated at least $766,000 to
presidential candidates, according to data made available April 20 and
provided by the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit research
group in Washington.

The analysis included donations of at least $200 made by individuals who
listed their employer as one of the four branches of the military —
Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps — or the Coast Guard, National
Guard, Army Air Force Exchange Service, armed forces or military.

These donors gave the largest amounts to Rep. Ron Paul, the long-shot
Republican candidate from Texas who has acknowledged defeat in the
nomination process but continues to campaign, and Sen. Barack Obama, the
Democrat from Illinois.

  Weapons training and qualification overhauled

Weapons training and qualification overhauled
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/05/army_marksmanship_050408w/

FORT BENNING, Ga. — Trainers here are testing a new marksmanship
qualification course that stresses shooting from behind cover, fixing
jams and changing magazines — key skills all soldiers need in combat.

The pilot program is a dramatic shift from the Army’s standard
qualification course, an outdated exercise that trains soldiers on how
to pass a test rather than how to master their weapons, said Col. Casey
Haskins, commander of 198th Infantry Brigade. The 198th, a one-station
training unit responsible for Basic Combat and Infantry Training at
Benning, is overseeing sweeping changes to Basic Rifle Marksmanship.

Currently in Initial Entry Training, BRM culminates with soldiers taking
a timed test in which they fire 40 rounds of ammunition at 40 pop-up
targets. Firing from Cold-War-era prone and foxhole positions, trainees
must hit 23 to earn a passing score.

“It focuses on meeting the minimum standard — 23 out of 40. Not too
good,” Haskins said. “People train to the test ... We believe we need to
teach people how to shoot.”

  Robobug goes to war: Troops to use electronic insects to spot enemy 'by end of the year'

Robobug goes to war: Troops to use electronic insects to spot enemy 'by
end of the year'
http://tinyurl.com/5jylfj

It may have seemed like just another improbable scene from a Hollywood
sci-fi flick – Tom Cruise battling against an army of robotic spiders
intent on hunting him down.

But the storyline from Minority Report may not be quite as far fetched
as it sounds.

British defence giant BAE Systems is creating a series of tiny
electronic spiders, insects and snakes that could become the eyes and
ears of soldiers on the battlefield, helping to save thousands of lives.

Prototypes could be on the front line by the end of the year, scuttling
into potential danger areas such as booby-trapped buildings or enemy
hideouts to relay images back to troops safely positioned nearby.

Soldiers will carry the robots into combat and use a small tracked
vehicle to transport them closer to their targets.

Then they would swarm into the building and relay images back to the
soldiers' hand-held or wrist-mounted computers, warning them of any
threats inside.
