Falwell Jr. urged students at Liberty U. to get guns to protect themselves on campus.
Question:
How effective would this be in deterring suicidal jihadists who expect to die anyway?
Jesus would be proud!

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Thom has told the story about the "Caucus Room Conspiracy" as has many online publications. I have never seen anyone reference PBS Frontline to this event. As an FYI, PBS Frontline did cover this event in an episode called "Inside Obama's Presidency" which aired 1/15/2013 and can be viewed online. http://video.pbs.org/video/2325679851/
I am only putting this up here because I have not seen this material referenced anywhere. The first 10 minutes covers the "caucus room" event and interviews Frank Luntz and Newt Gingrich. The depth of depict on the part of the republicans in this meeting and the reality that this event would effect on the "Tanking" of the country as well as the borderline treasonous nature of this agreement was not developed in the piece. But the event was at least admitted to and it is now out there on the world web.
