We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Yeah, I'm thinking about that, all right. I saw a flying saucer in my back yard last night, by the way. I have no evidence, just take my word for it. You can't verify it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Now think about this: we deal with facts and citable sources on this site, not rumors and "that's probably true" internet BS stories. WND is run by, and read by, people who would like very much for stories like this to be true, because making it look like the Obama administration is siccing law enforcement on us fits their world view and advances their agenda.
That makes any sort of story like this twice as likely to be, if not total BS, then maybe wishful thinking by an editor who jumped the gun.
Now, of course, some would read what I just wrote and accuse me of being a liberal or something, if so you need to step back and think clearly about what I'm saying, which is to maintain a healthy skepticism.

Is every Sailor in the United States Navy a dangerous "extremist"? I guess the DHS would say so, because that flag has been on the bow of EVERY ship in the U.S. Navy since 2001.
Sounds like someone at DHS is suffering from a severe case of rectal-cranial inversion!

WND is running an account of a "where's the birth certificate?" billboard.
Guess where this one-of-a-kind billboard is located?
Yep, Ball, Louisiana.
Where did this fictional traffic stop concerning the "extremist" bumper sticker take place?
Yep, Ball, Louisiana.
Now, take this totally unfounded bumper sticker "story" and couple it with the true existence of this billboard. What are the mathematical odds BOTH of them are in the very tiny town of Ball, Louisiana?
I never realized how Ball, Louisiana was such a hotbed of political events.
Who'd of thunk it?

Ball is also where a local policeman was on the lookout for a murderer who had escaped from the U.S. Penitentiary in Pollock. When he encountered a man matching that description, with no identification, wearing only gray sweats, who claimed to have been out jogging along the railroad tracks, and gave conflicting stories about which motel he was staying at while doing roofing work... why, Officer Deadeye told him to have a nice day and be careful.
Yes, it was him. The Canadian Mounties caught him months later. :banghead:
