Randy Weaver and Waco did work out. Randy Weaver, although he lost his son and wife to federal agents, did receive compensation in the multi-millions by an embarrassed govt. Waco caused quite the outrage and strengthened gun movement in a positive way. Folks saw what an out of control govt. can do when it is left unchecked. I have an example. It took place in Carthage Tennessee right...

Yet another failed attempt at drilling ANWAR and making us less dependant on terrorist supporting OPEC nations went down in a party line vote. The republicans puled the bill on a threat of a filibuster . WHY? Chit- let the Dems (and their enviro - waco buds) explain why we have to pay more for fuel while not using our own plentiful oil. They were saying back in the '90s that 'if we started today,...

I didn't say I supported folks at Waco. Why do you call them wackos? Do you have proof of that? What do you know of Waco. Like Brunett, enlighten us.

One of my favorite indulgences is a candy bar on the side. And now, that indulgence has gotten greener. Mars ’ Waco plant, as of this week, is now using energy from landfill gas to power the plant. Mars produces a whole host of snack foods, as well as pet food and drinks. Most importantly, in my mind, they make Snickers. Using methane gas to produce steam to power the plant's furnaces will...

... three months earlier in the outrageous order for federal agents to attack David Koresh’s ranch at Waco, Texas, producing a conflagration that led to 76 deaths, including 21 children. Why has the Waco fiasco been forgotten? It triggered the worst case of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, the 1995 revenge bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Okay, that's about...

... enclave, defying an eviction notice. The entire story contains overtones of Ruby Ridge and Waco and the tension mounts with each page - will Banish be able to get these people to come down without bloodshed? A multitude of finely-tuned subplots gives the novel a depth that I rarely find in today's thrillers and Banish is one of the most heroic characters I've come across in a long, long...

SHEEEEEEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!

When someone comes out supporting the whackos at Waco and saying that grabbing your gun and shootin' some folks is the way to protect your vote - I don't think we need to go any further.
