The following is an e-mail to and a response from Steve Case about Turner's anti-Christian bias. The message: "Mr. Turner's well publicized comment Ash Wednesday about christians being "Jesus freaks" who should be working for Fox News really hit home. His leftist and pro-evil attitude as reflected on the "Clinton News Network" is part of the reason I have long since disregarded CNN as a news source. Any questions about why Fox with just over half the available homes is cleaning your clock? Do the words "fair and balanced" ring a bell? I can hear both sides! Too bad, you ...

People favoring child molester voted multiple times Question: Do three out of five WorldNetDaily readers really believe that a homosexual policeman who seduced a 16-year-old boy, plied him with alcohol and had homosexual relations with him should not be prosecuted? WND's editors didn't think so either, when examination of yesterday's WND Daily Poll yielded uncharacteristically large -– and bizarre –- results. With an unusual 15,000-plus votes registered by mid-afternoon, and especially the greater than 60 percent affirmative response to what amounts to an agreement with child molestation, our staff knew something was wrong. As it turns out, WND's systems administrative ...

Although diversity training has become commonplace at law enforcement agencies across the country, a program starting today in Berkeley appears to be the first of its kind to make it mandatory for all Police Department employees to take awareness classes on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. Each sworn officer, dispatcher and secretary in the 324-employee department will be required to sign up for the six-hour course -- two-thirds covering issues specific to transgender men and women, with the remainder devoted to gay, lesbian and bisexual issues. San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C., have cultural awareness training for new ...

If the feds had their way, environmental consultant John J. Zentner, 46, would be in jail right now. One of his cell brethren eventually would ask, "What are you in for?" "Moving frogs," he could say. The Orinda, Calif., resident and his company pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of violating the federal Endangered Species Act. He agreed to serve 200 hours of community service, to have his firm pay a fine of $65,000 and to pay a personal fine of $10,000. All for moving some 60 California red-legged frogs and 500 tadpoles from a watercourse to a pond. But ...

Sleeper tax could steal a slice of the tax-relief pie Relatively few taxpayers now feel the bite of the alternative minimum tax. But under President Bush's proposals, their numbers will go up -- and their tax savings would shrink. You are already hearing lots of criticism of President Bush’s $1.6 trillion tax-cut proposal. Business wants more breaks. Democrats want to the trim the proposal back. There’s a big battle brewing about whether to eliminate the estate tax. But the most severe attack on Bush’s proposal may be for one thing that it doesn’t do: repeal the alternative minimum tax (AMT). ...

I posted an item a while ago (#5474122); I visited just now to check replies; it says there are 9 of them but only the article and my own comment displays. Any suggestions?

Now that I know what "bump" means, exactly how do I go about "bumping" a thread?

In a rational world this riddle would be ruled out of order as asinine and impossible. Alas, in this world the riddle flies. Here goes. What country with an ideal climate, arable land, good work force, no drought, no flood, and no war has FOOD RATIONING? All you red-baiters whose hands shot up immediately are right. The answer is Cuba! I just returned from Cuba. It was my third visit to Cuba under Castro, but my first in 40 years. I raised money for Castro in New York when he was in the mountains fighting Batista. I thought Fidel ...

Kennedy, Torricelli Should be Investigated by an Ashcroft Justice Department Kennedy Took At Least $6,000 from John Huang (Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the non-partisan public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, said today that many of the Senators on the Judicial Committee grilling John Ashcroft have a severe conflict of interest because of their personal involvement in the ongoing Chinagate scandal, which would have to be investigated by an Ashcroft Justice Department. Federal Election Commission records show that John Huang, the accused Chinese spy and Democrat fundraiser, gave at least $6,000 in political donations to Ted Kennedy ...

The intellectual bigotry which Jacki Horwitz displays in her column "Us" Versus "Them" in the Palisadian Post (December 7, page 2) is nothing short of staggering. She writes: "I once circulated a petition to keep my Pacific Palisades neighbors from selling their property to Republicans. True liberal that I am, I made it clear that only Democrats are welcome here. And I'm proud to say that I made it pretty uncomfortable for Republican looky-loos..." This is just the sort of thing, of course, that whites used to do to keep blacks from moving into their neighborhoods. No doubt Ms. Horwitz ...

Analysis: Hillary Blunders in Northern Ireland NewsMax.com Wires Friday, Dec. 15, 2000 BELFAST, Northern Ireland (UPI) – In the admittedly complicated and trapdoor-riddled politics of Northern Ireland, first lady Hillary Clinton has all the grace and skill of a rhinoceros trying to tap-dance. She accompanied her husband, President Clinton, in his dramatic appeal Tuesday for peace in the Irish republic town of Dundalk, a stronghold of the extremists of the Real IRA. And she gave a stirring speech Wednesday on the virtues of peace at Belfast's Grand Opera House. Both speeches were well received by the sympathetic audiences they were ...

Ever since it became apparent that Republican George W. Bush might actually win the presidency, liberals in the entertainment news business, in the punditry, on the talking-heads circuit and in the halls of power have suggested that a Bush victory might be Pyrrhic -- that the amiable Texas governor will have "no mandate to govern" because the race was "so close." There are many reasons why such idiotic statements are untrue and why those making them are probably just expressing liberal antipathy over Gore's loss, over conservative gains and over having to watch timidly as the next administration disinfects ...

Democrat Congressman Demands Reno Resign NewsMax.com Saturday, Dec. 9, 2000 A Democrat congressman has demanded that controversial attorney general Janet Reno resign after the government blocked the release of two men in custody for years on secret evidence. "In my 25 years in Congress, I have never seen such an act of injustice,'' said U.S. Rep. David Bonior, a Michigan Democrat and minority whip, as reported in the Associated Press. "I am calling for Attorney General Janet Reno to resign today. This is an absolute outrage. These are Gestapo-like tactics,'' he said. Reno blocked for 45 days the release of ...

As a "newbie" on FR, I think I need an interpreter. Will someone please tell me the meaning of "bump" and bttt? I checked the glossary of "The Internet for Dummies" but found no mention of these items.

How can any Christian vote Democrat? A Gore administration and a Democrat majority in congress will assure the continued slaughter of the unborn. If you cannot bring yourself to vote Republican, choose a third party candidate. God is watching!
