It should be illegal to bring cases like this to court

I'm not sure it gets much more ludicrous than this. From Moonbattery:

If suing dead teenagers over damage caused by their flying body parts after they are hit by trains isn’t crazy enough to evoke outrage, maybe this will work:

David Belniak had drugs in his system and never braked when he slammed into the back of a family’s car stopped at a red light on Christmas Day 2007. Three people died.

In August, Belniak pleaded guilty to three counts of DUI manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He never said a word in court, not even when the victims’ children begged him for an apology.

But now he has plenty to say — through his lawyer.

Last month, Belniak’s attorney filed a lawsuit against the now-deceased driver of the other car, alleging the crash was the victim’s fault.

Belniak was going between 75 and 85 when he crashed his pickup into his lawsuit’s victims’ SUV, crumpling it up like a beer can. He was on alcohol, Xanax, and cocaine at the time. His previous driving history included two DUIs and killing a pedestrian.

Young single mother fires on home invader while on the phone with 911

An 18 year old woman who lost her husband to cancer was able to protect herself and infant son by firing on a man who broke into her house. He knew she would be there alone, and there was no way that anyone could have made it to her home before the pair kicked in the door.

While on the phone with 911, the dispatcher told her she should do what she needed to protect her kid. She did. She was forced to choose between the bad guy and her son, and it wasn't going to be her son. A good illustration of the saying "when seconds count, the police are minutes away." via Yahoo!

A young Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby on New Year's Eve, less than a week after the baby's father died of cancer.

Sarah McKinley says that a week earlier a man named Justin Martin dropped by on the day of her husband's funeral, claiming that he was a neighbor who wanted to say hello. The 18-year-old Oklahoma City area woman did not let him into her home that day.

Using the government to plunder people to support our American dream is fundamentally morally wrong

Economics Professor Jack Chambless at Valencia College talks about how the students of "Generation Gimme" view the American dream. It is certainly not the same dream of those who founded the country.

Top 10 conspiracy facts of 2011

As with all stories of conspiracy, take them with a grain of salt until you can confirm or deny. I ran across these and found them very interesting. A few I had previously seen and the facts can't really be disputed. Others I'm still checking out. This was found at The Daily Sheeple. Have fun!

2011 was the year in which many conspiracy “theories” became conspiracy FACTS. Articles that used to earn you a tinfoil hat designation suddenly were front-page news stories across the country. The world is stranger than we can imagine, it seems, and 2011 proved it yet again.

Here are the top ten conspiracy facts that emerged over the last year:

#1 – Obama admits U.S. government used Guatemalan prisoners for illegal medical experiments

When we exposed the U.S. government’s long list of medical crimes against humanity back in 2006, the mainstream media was silent (http://www.naturalnews.com/019187.html). People insisted the government was ethical and honest, and it could never be involved in crimes against humanity. (ROFL!) When the truth came out about Guatemalan prisoner experiments, however, it went viral so quickly the mainstream media couldn’t whitewash the story.

Bad guy gets foiled by "sheep dog" in Northern Idaho

A great example of being prepared and willing to protect. Tim Patterson was working at his mobile kitchen in northern Idaho when he heard a scream.

"Let go of me," it shrieked.

Patterson charged around a car and stopped. A man had a woman's head pulled back with one hand, and a knife to her throat with the other.

Patterson didn't hesitate.

He drew his Kimber 1911 .45 with a six-shot clip.

"Drop it, or I'll shoot you," he shouted.

The bad guy looked up, let go of the woman and knife,  raised his hands and ran.  While Patterson called 911 and stayed with her until the police arrived.

"You can yell at somebody, but pointing a gun at his head does a lot better job," Patterson said Wednesday as he recounted what happened the day before.

The shaken victim suffered a red mark to her neck, but was otherwise OK.

The attacker's actions angered Patterson.

"I know the lady. She is a sweetheart," he said. "Goodwill does nothing but good for people. They help so many people."

Patterson believes the assailant knew she carried a bank deposit, and police also said that might have been the case.

FEMA looking to build “Temporary Camp Services” in all 50 states

Here's another followup on NDAA information. The passage of the National Defense Authorization Act would authorize the military to imprison citizens without charge or trial simply by meeting some of the criteria of a broadly defined potential terrorist.

Now since the Senate passage of the bill, it appears FEMA is ramping up efforts to build detention camps. SHTFPlan has this:
