Jim - My wife and I are longstanding members of Free Republic (since 1998). We were involved in the Pugget Sound chapter for awhile, and have supported the site financially. I have heard from numerous sources that articles from Vdare may not be posted to Free Republic. Is this true? If so, can you please take a few minuts to explain your rationale for this policy? I think Vdare is a terrific site. The editor of the site, Peter Brimelow, is a brilliant thinker and respected journalist. The site is concerned with "national identity" questions: immigration, affirmative action, bilingual education,...

<p>Now that House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt has introduced legislation that would allow millions of undocumented aliens in the U.S. to earn legal status, maybe the White House will stop ducking the issue and reply with its own initiative.</p> <p>Last week, Mr. Gephardt told a crowd of enthusiastic Hispanics that to pass his bill, "we need a Democratic majority" in Congress. Actually, all we really need is for the Bush Administration to revive its pre-9/11 plans for addressing the Rio Grande influx. Aside from helping to secure Latino votes, which explains Mr. Gephardt's timing, a sensible policy on Mexican immigration would both enhance border security and satisfy pressing needs of the U.S. economy.</p>

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The United States has not fundamentally changed its habitual laxity regarding immigration law and security procedures even after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and desperately needs reform, according to a recent report from a conservative Washington think tank. The report, "The Deportation Abyss: 'It Ain't Over 'til the Alien Wins,'" written by Michelle Malkin and published by the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, is adapted from Malkin's new book, "Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores." In the book, Malkin provides an in-depth catalog of the...

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdel Aziz said Saudi Arabia would impose measures on arriving U.S. nationals like those Washington imposes on Saudi nationals. Speaking in Riyadh Sunday night, Prince Nayef said, "We will treat any country the same way it treats us." U.S. measures begun this month affecting Saudis and other travelers from the Middle East include photographing, fingerprinting and questioning them upon arrival and requiring them to inform authorities about their movements in the United States.

The following column is best served with a side of information on the author: I am a male student of Arab nationality studying here at USC. I like to listen to punk rock, ska, funk, and as much classic rock as I can get my hands on. I've been playing the bass guitar since the age of 14 and I currently sport a Mohawk. Although I have strong political opinions, I never venture so far as to outwardly offend anyone with my views. I've never gotten into a fistfight. I'm told that I could easily be mistaken for the average...

Last week, I wrote about how little progress has been made since 9/11 to make America safe from its enemies. An 800-word editorial can only give readers the skimpiest outline of how American leaders have taken our country to the brink of disaster. For the full story, I refer you to syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin's new book, "Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces on Our Shores." For the millions of Americans who are gravely concerned about the country's direction, Malkin's book represents a painfully candid assessment of all of the foolish, selfish and plain old...

New Malkin Blockbuster Exposes Immigration Chaos We Must Clean House at the INS By U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo This is a truly alarming book, a book Americans of all political persuasions need to read and ponder. If even half of what author Michelle Malkin says is true, the United States is far more vulnerable to terrorist infiltration than our leaders have disclosed. Paul Revere may have been called an "alarmist," but the British really were coming! And so are the terrorists. They are coming in part because we have allowed them into our country with antiquated immigration laws, ineffectual border...

Spencer AbrahamU.S. Energy Secretary Like many members of the Bush administration — and employees of government at every level all across the country — my chief memory of September 11, after recovering from shock and disbelief at the attacks themselves, is of hard and purposeful work.If there is one thing I would like people to remember about that day and the days that followed, it is that government worked — from the highest elected officials, to the police and firefighters who gave their lives to save others at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, to the employees who...

Can a patriot have misgivings about attacking Iraq? Is opposition limited to peaceniks and American-hating multiculturalists? Wars have unintended consequences. Would an American invasion of an Arab country further radicalize the Islamic world, leading to the rise of unfriendly governments in Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia? Would the United States then have to invade a hostile Pakistan because of its nuclear weapons? The terrorist threat comes from radical Islam. Saddam Hussein runs a secular state. Would overthrowing a secular ruler help or harm radical Islam? An American attack on Iraq would cause a loss of sympathy among our European...

Freeper Michelle Malkin will be coming out with a book about immigration this fall.

CINCINNATI is burning. Does anyone care? This Midwestern city has been under siege since Monday, its downtown and surrounding suburbs overrun by black demonstrators targeting innocent white bystanders and businesses. Roving thugs have looted dozens of white-owned shops, burned down several buildings and vandalized police precincts and fire stations. City Hall, which had 28 windows smashed to bits on Monday night, is under lockdown. So is the Cincinnati police headquarters, where an American flag was pulled down from its flagpole and hung upside down. CNN, which downplayed the violent rampage as a &quot;disturbance,&quot; failed to mention the rampant outbreak of ...

NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN Voting for any third party is better than voting for any Republican and there are good reasons for this. No, it is not because there is no difference between the Democrats and Republicans. There is a very important difference. The Republicans are by far the greater threat. No, I am not a Democrat or a socialist. I simply judge people and parties by their accomplishments rather than their speeches. Under the Republican congress social spending has increased faster than when the Democrats were in control. The last three budgets passed by a Democrat controlled congress (1992-1994) ...
