Fugitive Soccer Mom To Be Freed from Prison

Lansing, MI-- Susan Lefevrere now known as Marie Walsh escaped from a Michigan prison more than three decades ago. She was a first time offending teenager who got a 10 to 20 year prison sentence for selling a small amount of heroin to an undercover cop. That prison term was off the charts in harshness considering she pled guilty and was expecting probation.

Since her 1976 breakout Walsh turned her life around, moved to the San Diego area and raised a photogenic family with her husband. She lived in an upper-class Carmel Valley neighborhood and enjoyed the American dream. She became a solid member of the community and never looked back or reoffended.

That all changed when there was a rude knock at the door on April 24, 2008. It was a deputy United States Marshall and Walsh’s blessed world came crashing down. Someone had informed on Walsh.

Despite pleas from hundreds of friends and supporters Michigan officials wanted their pound of flesh from this now middle-aged woman who was no threat to anyone. They bagged her and put her on a prison bus back to Michigan.

An utterly worthless and vindictive Wayne County Prosecutor wanted even more and prosecuted Walsh for that ancient escape. That brought an additional five-year probation term along with lots of legal fees.

Finally there is light at the end of a very dark and ugly tunnel. Today the Michigan parole board voted 10-0 to release Walsh on May 19, 2009.

That action has shaved years off of Walsh’s original sentence but the subsequent punishment was wasted on the woman who long ago chose the right path of honorable behavior.

Walsh should have been forgiven or pardoned but instead suffered unnecessary humiliation and excessive additional punishment. The process has been nothing short of a continuing emotional nightmare

When she is released in May she will have lost 13 months of her life she or her family will never see again. That was a meaningless exercise that was unnecessarily cruel.

If there is something good here it’s that Walsh will never have to look over her shoulder or fear a knock at her door again. I hope to welcome Marie back to freedom on a nice spring day.

Illinois Impeachment Proceedings Are Medieval An Un-American

Springfield, IL—I don’t agree with much any Illinois Democrat thinks about the way government should be run. That certainly includes Governor Rod Blagojevich. The Illinois Senate is conducting an impeachment farce under color of law.

The Senate is weighing select snippets of hearsay testimony. I guess if these ate truths they are by definition half or quarter truths.

Calling this a sham is an understatement. Are they using this as a stall tactic to protect members of the Obama Administration? That seems to be the only viable reason. I refuse to accept they’re acting out of ignorance of the law since there are so many lawyers involved in the proceeding.

Castro’s Executioner Hailed As A Folk Hero

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928-1967) was hailed by Communists and the Left Wing as a Liberator. The reality was that Guevara was nothing more than a brutal thug and prolific serial killer.

Guevara had the gift of good looks, a rich voice and the ability to influence a lot of gullible fools.

Guevara somehow managed to graduate medical school but quickly abandoned his Hippocratic Oath to, “do no harm” and became Fidel Castro’s executioner. Guevara was credited with personally killing thousands of political prisoners.

In October of 1967, the terrorist who lived by the gun, died by the gun. The American CIA is credited with assisting in locating and killing the total turd in Bolivia. Guevara never looked better as he finally became a good Communist by becoming a dead Communist.

Still today every Left Wing lunatic wants to elevate Guevara to the status of a holy martyr when in reality he made people like Richard Speck and Ted Bundy look good.

Those that want to impose their ideal, One World Communist State on others all deserve Guevara’s fate.

India's Mahatma Gandhi Weighed In on Gun Control

The words came from this master of peace, Mahatma Gandhi's own mouth, "Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."

Gandhi saw firsthand the horror defenseless unarmed people must suffer. An unarmed Gandhi was shot down outside the Birla House in Delhi in January of 1948. Gandhi was a wise man with a big influence that was just not big enough.
