Free Republic

On February 18th at 12:29 PM, Steve Christopher submitted petitions containing approximately 2,750 signatures to the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office. The petitions were submitted to place Christopher on the Republican Primary Ballot this May. The signatures on these petitions were obtained by numerous circulators working to seat a common-sense conservative in the State of Ohio Attorney General’s Office. At the time of submission, a receipt for these signatures was given to Christopher. We have a copy of this receipt that can be sent to any media source upon request. The top portion of this receipt was filled out by...

I'm back from CPAC and I see Curt and Mike have been busy posting videos of choice main ballroom speeches from CPAC. I will be eternally grateful to them.Let me tell you the most important lesson I learned covering CPAC - Netbooks are terrible for blogging, video editing and photo editing. I found to my great dismay that the best I could do was Twitter and check email with this #$@^$% netbook.That being said I've got loads of exclusive videos, photos and stories to share with you now that I'm back home with access to a real computer. Let's start...

Four local young men are under arrest in connection with the violent stabbing death of a Mont Vernon mother and the vicious attack on her daughter. Steven Spader, 18, Christopher Gribble, 19, both of Brookline, William Marks, 18 and Quinn Glover, 17, both of Amherst, will be arraigned late this morning in Milford District Court, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office. Spader and Gribble are charged with first degree murder in the death of Kimberly Cates, 42, and attempted murder in the attack on her 11-year-old daughter. Marks and Glover are charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary...

Senator Christopher Dodd, chairman of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, pledged on Wednesday that Congress would work with President Barack Obama to craft comprehensive reform of financial sector regulations. "Our intention is to work with the administration to try to put together a comprehensive, thoughtful modernization of our financial regulations that will give the country the confidence and the optimism that our financial services sector is going to be strong and vibrant and healthy," the Democratic lawmaker said. "Our intention is to try to get this done in the coming weeks and months," Dodd told reporters after Obama hosted a...

After all the talk, the bashing by the media and demands from his constituents, U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd on Monday offered apologies and stacks of documents to explain his controversial loans from Countrywide Financial Corp. Dodd's regrets still don't clarify why one of the most powerful, influential politicians in Washington didn't run from a lender who promised "VIP" treatment. It doesn't begin to explain why we had to wait half a year before learning information that Dodd has had for months. I expect more from one of the guys trying to save us from economic collapse — not to mention...

Secret Service agents on Friday arrested a man in Mississippi who wrote a series of entries in an Internet chat room saying he intended to kill President-elect Barack Obama, the Justice Department said. The man, Steven J. Christopher, who is from Wisconsin, was arrested in Brookhaven, Miss., for making threatening entries on Jan. 11, 15 and 16, said Dunn Lampton, the United States attorney in Jackson. The entries, which included racial and anti-Semitic remarks, were on a Web site that features information and articles about extraterrestrials, government conspiracies and unexplained physical phenomenon. Mr. Lampton said, "Threats against the president-elect will...

Disney accused by Catholic cleric of corrupting children's minds A leading Catholic cleric has launched a fierce attack on Disney, claiming it has corrupted children and encouraged greed. By Jonathan Wynne-Jones, Religious Affairs Correspondent Last Updated: 9:21PM GMT 29 Nov 2008 Christopher Jamison, the Abbot of Worth in West Sussex, has accused the corporation of "exploiting spirituality" to sell its products and of turning Disneyland into a modern day pilgrimage site. He argues that it pretends to provide stories with a moral message, but has actually helped to create a more materialistic culture. In a guide to helping people find...

In his now-infamous I'm-running-away-from-home note to National Review posted on the cyberpages of leftist publisher Tina Brown, Christopher Buckley, conservative legend William F. Buckley Jr.'s writer/novelist son, clearly stated reasons why someone like him would -- under normal circumstances -- utterly refuse to vote for someone like Barack Obama (words in italics are Buckley's): “He [Obama] is … a lefty. I am not." We'll take "Christo" (as his friends call him) at his word, for the moment. His essay is subtitled "The conservative case for Obama," but for reasons I illustrate below, I think it should be instead "A conservative's...

The United States needs a new law requiring that the president consult with Congress before going to war, a blue-ribbon panel led by two former secretaries of state said Tuesday. The current War Powers Resolution is "ineffective, and it should be repealed and it should be replaced," James Baker said in a joint appearance with Warren Christopher, announcing the results of the study they led. The recommendation follows failed efforts by Democrats in Congress to put a stop to the war in Iraq or to put conditions on President Bush's conduct of it. Congress passed a joint resolution to authorize...

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Five former U.S. secretaries of state are urging the next presidential administration to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and open a dialogue with Iran. Each says closing the facility in Cuba would bolster America's image abroad. Regarding Iran, they say it's important to maintain contact with adversaries and allies alike.

The Oswego man accused of killing his wife and three children is now in protective custody at the Will County jail. Christopher Vaughn was placed in the jail's medical unit after he was extradited from Missouri. His wife and three children were found shot to death in their s-u-v in Channahon in June. He was later charged with their murders. Because of the nature of the charges, Vaughn was placed in protective custody where he would have a private cell and have limited contact with other inmates.

Here's one sure way to incite Barbra Streisand's wrath: Write a book about her. Christopher Anderson has learned that with his recently published biography, "Barbra: The Way She Is." Streisand has retaliated not with interviews or public statements, but by way of the Internet. On her Web site, she has issued a response she titles "Does the Truth Matter These Days?" "Normally, I would not dignify vicious, mean-spirited mythology masquerading as biography," she begins. "But it seems this latest rehash of other unauthorized biographies is getting a lot of attention. "Who is the person described in this book? From what...

BUNKER HILL, Ind. -- Christopher Flauding was considered retarded. Now, 27 years after he killed a Merrillville woman, he's about to go free, a bachelor's degree in anthropology to his name. Flauding was 17 when he attacked Celia Villareal with a butcher knife as she walked into her far-Northwestern Indiana home. Now 44, Flauding disputes labels such as "borderline mentally retarded" and "a limited mind" that were attached to him -- and may have saved him from the death penalty. Defense attorneys used the 17-year-old Merrillville High School junior's mental state as part of its case to keep Flauding off...

Christopher Hitchens: Letter to the Left By Christopher Hitchens Slate | August 16, 2005 Another request in my in-box, asking if I'll be interviewed about Iraq for a piece "dealing with how writers and intellectuals are dealing with the state of the war, whether it's causing depression of any sort, if people are rethinking their positions or if they simply aren't talking about it." I suppose that I'll keep on being asked this until I give the right answer, which I suspect is "Uncle." There is a sort of unspoken feeling, underlying the entire debate on the war, that if...

Bill O'Reilly just ripped Clinton and Company a "new" one!!

Here is an unambivalent statement: "The moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq is absolute." And, now, here's another: Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full well that my son, my family, this nation and this world were betrayed by George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agendas after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on...

The war in Iraq is a neo-conservative project, right? Yes, in the sense that in the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have come to believe that “the defense of freedom requires the advance of freedom.” But little noticed is the fact that some of the strongest supporters of this revolutionary idea are on the left. Prime Minister Tony Blair, leader of Britain's Labor Party, is the most obvious example. "A democratic Iraq,” he insisted earlier this year, “is not just a giant step forward for...

New FReepers don't know what they have missed on FR. Here is another classic from the archives. ORIGINAL POST. ====================================================An Ominous Deja Vu It is significant that the man Clinton turns to for military advice ---who argued against the tanks and APC's for the raid in Mogadishu---is the same Warren Christopher (then a high official in Jimmy Carter's National Security Council) who helped plan the disastrous raid to rescue the hostages in Iran. At a planning session for the Tehran rescue, the man selected to lead the raid, the late Colonel Charlie Beckwith, was asked what the would do about...
