Memphis Muslim Relations

BCR — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:41:00 +0000

We have always tried to be fair in our reporting here at BCR. Last year when a Muslim from Memphis shot soldiers in front of a Little Rock, Arkansas recruiting station, I personally went to the mosque he attended here in Memphis for their side of the story. All I got was stone-walling from the [...]

On the heels of the Murfreesboro arson incident over the weekend comes this …

Two men with ties to Metro Detroit are being held in Amsterdam after one was suspected of making a trial run in preparation for a terrorist attack, federal authorities said.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said suspicious items were found in the [...]

Theocracy

BCR — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:44:58 +0000

Theocracy – “government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided”.

I am a Christian, and as such I am living with the hope of one day leaving this world and joining Christ in His kingdom. Even now, I recognize Him as my King and the Bible as [...]

Glenn Beck And TEA Party KKK Rally

BCR — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 14:13:26 +0000

First, let me start with my usual disclaimer for new readers. I AM NOT affiliated with ANY TEA Party organization. I am however one of the first ‘tea party’ activists in Memphis and several of the BCR authors are very involved in local TEA Party organizations. If anyone is the ‘founder’ of the TEA Party, [...]

Liberals Are So Honest

Austin Farley — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 19:27:04 +0000

Why is it that most scandals, I say most not all, happen in areas run by liberals? These California towns are no exception to this statement as they have ravaged by corruption. These California cities join liberal havens such as Memphis, Detroit and Atlanta that have recently had their transgressions brought to the public’s attention.

Charlotte Bergmann For Congress

BCR — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:02:27 +0000

BCR as a group has something of a history with Charlotte Bergmann, the ‘tea party’ branded candidate for Tennessee 9th Congressional District. I personally have never met her or had the opportunity to hear her speak except for an appearance she did on the Clarksenior radio program recently. BCR had endorsed Ms. Bergmann during the [...]

West Tennessee Volunteer Militia

BCR — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 22:07:18 +0000

First I want to be clear that this post reflects my views, and my views only, not necessarily those of the other BCR authors. I make that qualifier because the image of militia groups and those affiliated with them have been much maligned by political leaders, the federal government, and the media. It can be [...]

Time For The Bullet Box?

BCR — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 18:25:11 +0000

One of our readers introduced me to the phrase, “bullet box”, as opposed to the “ballot box” a few years ago. I never thought that in my lifetime I would see the “bullet box” become a viable possibility and a virtually inevitable prospect for the near term. I always wondered what could have possibly pushed [...]
