Free Republic

Has the federal government exceeded, or is it on the verge of exceeding its constitutional authority with the recent series of events connected to rescuing an ailing banking system? Although Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., was ridiculed for raising that question in a congressional hearing on March 24, conservative talk show host, constitutional lawyer and legal commentator Mark Levin, told Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on March 24 that government was indeed exceeding the constitution. According to Levin, there is nothing in the Constitution that would allow the Obama administration to expand the government’s ability to seize non-banking...

I think Freepers have been wondering about this for some time. What the hell happened with Ben Stein? Has he always been a closet socialist and is now coming out of the closet? On Cavuto's program Saturday morning, he states that the government should continually shovel taxpayer money to these business in order to keep people employed. I thought that was bad enough. However, I was truly dismayed when not one dissenter of his statement make the arguement that if government got out of the way, more and more people could get employed.

Excerpt: CAVUTO: She is a conservative dream thus far -- and, boy, doesn't Rush Limbaugh know it. Now he has been talking up the Alaskan governor for some time now. In Rush's words, and I quote, "Babies. Guns. Jesus. Hot damn!" I spoke to radio talk show host just moments ago. RUSH: She has turned the election upside-down, Neil. She has united a convention. She has united the Republican base. The Republican base, conservative base is more excited and happier than it has been in 14 years, since the Republican victory taking back the House of Representatives in 1993 and...

So this topic of a Transgendered 8 year old has been posted several times on FR, but Neil Cavuto interviewed some wacky child psycholgist... While he is interviewing this dude, He shows my FR post in the background!!! I believe Caputo is a FReeper...

I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I do read a lot of it. It saves hundreds of hours to read the transcripts of what interests me, after the broadcast. I get what I want, and skip all the commercials. Thus it was that today I read Neil Cavuto’s editorial, “Personal Responsibility is Being Banned in America.” I like Neil. He comes across as a nice guy with a large amount of common sense. In the heart of that editorial, he wrote, “We're stupid. We're fat. We're lazy. We're clueless. And the government is coming in to make things...

Ann Coulter discusses Huckabee on Neil Cavuto's program. Note the Freudian slip by Cavuto, "Hick." Coulter: Huckabee NOT a Strong Conservative Ann: "He's not very good on taxes and he's not good on illegal immigration." Ann: "He's the new John McCain." Huckabee: "Illegal Immigration is God give America a chance to make up for slavery." Huckabee opposed a bill in Arkansas requiring proof of citizenship in order to vote and receive social services

Just saw Bill Hemmer with Neil show a preview. Thompson said he was diagnosed with the "good" type of lymphoma a few years ago and wanted to get the info out sooner rather than later. Neil surmised that Thompson also wanted to gauge the response of the people.

Neil has George Soros on for an interview. Should be replayed later today.

News program host chides retirement group for opposing Social Security reform while establishing mutual funds. Fox News host Neil Cavuto slammed AARP for entering the mutual fund marketplace after opposing President George W. Bush's proposal to invest Social Security funds in the stock market, calling the organization "hypocritical." AARP Vice President of Investment Services Nancy Smith defended the 36 million-member elder American advocacy group. "I'm not saying that all of the Social Security dough, just part of the dough [should be] invested in the market," said Cavuto, the host of Fox News's "Your World." Cavuto called the current Social Security...

<p>Legal, good. Illegal, bad. That's the whole immigration mess summed up.</p> <p>I know I'm vastly over-simplifying things here, but I think it's time we see this issue for what it is: more heat than substance. The heat is that somehow a nation concerned with its borders has forgotten its past. It hasn't.</p>

December 23, 2005 Coulter Discusses College Liberals, Politics (VIDEO) Ann Coulter appeared on Your World With Neil Cavuto to discuss her recent appearance on a college campus — where she got booed off — and liberals in general. Coulter says that college liberals yearn to get on the microphone but don’t know what to say once they get it, meaning that they can not formulate an opinion since the system has been nurturing them for years.DOWNLOAD - (windows media player)

... He's (Cavuto's father) long gone now, but can you imagine what he'd think of all these politicians railing against the war? I don't think he'd mind their anti-war position. I do think he'd mind others' lack of any position. Senator Kerry comes to mind. We should be there. We shouldn't be there. Get the troops out, but not all the troops out. Talk to our allies, but don't rely on our allies. Or John Edwards: His vote was a mistake, but we're there now, so stick it out now, but not forever now. Or Hillary Clinton: She's still with...

Did anyone else see Cavuto interview Farrakhan 10/13/2005?

...Clearly, the DOI doesn't buy the liberal hogwash circulating around the Internet by Air America supporters and Bill Press on FOXNews, that Air America's newer owner has no connection to the old one, Progress Media, that it's all about Evan Cohen, the invisible bad man. Then why does the DOI believe Air America's current owners owe the money? Why is Air America repaying it? Is it because, other than Cohen, it's primarily the same people who continued on with the company after the sale?

Last week, Fox anchor Neil Cavuto secured a White House interview with President Bush, and liberals were upset. It wasn’t tough enough. Washington Post correspondent Daniel Froomkin reported that Cavuto asked about Mrs. Bush, John Kerry’s grades, and media overcoverage of Michael Jackson, but sneered: "Who wants to talk about that messy war in Iraq, or the Downing Street Memo? Not Neil Cavuto, Fox News executive, anchor, commentator and Bush campaign contributor." Fox-defending blogger "Johnny Dollar" noted two problems with Froomkin. First, Bush was asked about Iraq and that memo at a press conference the day before, so would that...

In George Orwell’s classic book entitled 1984, one of the brainwashing pillars used by Big Brother was “ignorance is strength.” All citizens were constantly reminded of this principle to diminish their desire to know the truth. Adherence to this principle kept the government strong and the citizens weak. The Democratic leadership in Congress has apparently adopted this philosophy as a strategy to defeat the idea of optional personal retirement accounts to restructure our dysfunctional Social Security system. Week after week their rhetoric attempts to deny, distort, distract, and deceive the public on the facts about President Bush’s optional accounts proposal....

Ever since he was a young man, he and his wife have taken in foster kids. Not just little kids — older kids — sometimes what others call "dangerous kids." He gives them a good home and good opportunities and, for many, they go on to form a good life. He did the same for harassed Jewish families during the height of the Soviet Union (search). Some he helped secret out. He forced a Republican president to talk about them, save them and ultimately free them. At one point, this born-again Christian even helped arrange a Passover Seder for a...

This is to those congressmen still freaking out about not getting more advance warning about this errant plane over Washington on Wednesday: Shut up.While you were bitching, F-16 jets were flying over the Capitol () to protect you. Capitol Hill Police — paid a lot less than you — were busy trying to evacuate you. Ditto the White House ().You may not like what's going on, but some — and I stress some — of you didn't waste a nanosecond to trash the very folks trying to protect your sorry asses.One congressman even had the gall to say personnel were...

Hi Neil……. I am a sometime viewer who can’t see you regularly at 4:00, but do watch when able. I realized recently that you commonly do something I would love to do…….have a chat with Jack Welch.  I have spent considerable time online over the last 4 years cussing and discussing the various elements of mainstream media bias, especially in the 3 broadcast networks.  The discussions almost always end in wonderment as to why the various corporate individuals, the Chairman , the CEO’s and the board members condone the bias in the news organizations owned  by their  corporations. What motivates...
