Free Republic

Excerpt: Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are “natural born Citizens” for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents. Just as a person “born within the British dominions [was] a natural-born British subject” at the time of the framing of the U.S. Constitution, so too were those “born in the allegiance of the United States [] natural-born citizens.”

Dan ‘what’s the frequency kenneth’ Rather was set up ... with a look - alike copy of document that rich armitage and joe ? scrubbed from the base . i hope this is not a set-up from the other side

This was absolutely breath-taking. The health care bill in the Senate version says the Secretary will establish (and enforce!) "gender" and race "standards" to ensure equity. Folks, they are going to define men and women, and ENSURE that transsexuals get access to "health care" that others will be denied; that there will be "race-based" health care to ensure fairness!!!!

Bill Clinton is so bitter about Barack Obama's victory over his wife Hillary that he has told friends the Democratic nominee will have to beg for his wholehearted support. Mr Obama is expected to speak to Mr Clinton for the first time since he won the nomination in the next few days, but campaign insiders say that the former president's future campaign role is a "sticking point" in peace talks with Mrs Clinton's aides. The Telegraph has learned that the former president's rage is still so great that even loyal allies are shocked by his patronising attitude to Mr Obama,...

Check out ballot initiative #101. It calls for a "sex strike" (by women only) annually on Aug. 16th, the birthday of a Sunni child. This is to take place in downtown Denver, and St. Paul MN. (Don't know why MN is required to abide by the CO constitution, but I'm sure there is good cause.) It is a "healing" amendment to the Colorado Constitution. There are currently 127 initiatives filed for Nov. ballot. If 1/3 of them get the required signatures, this could be one of the longest ballots in history. Check out some of the other crazy initiatives as...

KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft. Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur. Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of...

ARE YOU A COMMUNIST MR. BUSH? YES! I AM!!! This would be the answer if the question had been submitted before the collapse of Soviet Union! That does come out this conclusion for the current Prime Minister of U.S.A.? Simply Mr. Bush today, follows the vision of Stalin and Titos for taking territories from Greece following dance floor their dark drawing! The pseudonym state, nation and the language of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was Stalin’s dream. Stalin and Tito they manufacture then in August 1944 this state "in the frames of Yugoslavian Federation. They rename from VARDARSKA in" Macedonia...

Any reputable, criminal profiler will tell you that an execution-style shooting involving multiple victims will, invariably, include missiles and a message. It will also involve victims and a target. These are the earmarks of state-sponsored or state-tolerated terrorism. The recent executions of three Black college students in Newark meet these criteria. They attended Delaware State University. A fourth youth survived a gunshot wound to the head. This was not a botched robbery, and the Black community in Newark needs a Black detective, like in the Tawana Brawley case, to side step a cover-up. Assuming arguendo that the murder suspect, Jose...

Reading Francis Beckwith's interview with David Neff in Christianity Today, reminded me of how idyllic the Roman church can seem in the minds of those who embrace it (Click here: Q&A: Francis Beckwith | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction). But then this news report appeared today which gives a much different picture of the supposed glories of Romanism (Click here: Pope to canonize first Brazilian saint - Yahoo! News). All discussion of justification, the authority of Scripture, and reciting the Creed aside, the Pope is heading to Brazil to canonize Antonio de Sant'Anna Galvao, a Franciscan monk...

“I think we ought to take action on all fronts including Syria.” — Sen. Levin, today at an Armed Services Committee hearing. Get ready for Carl Levin to get shot by Cindy Sheehan or some other angry lefty. I'm not sure what happened to him, but he's making sense right now. On Sunday's Meet The (De)Press(ed), he finally admitted that Al-Qaeda is in Iraq and American troops needed to stay there for "a counter-terrorism purpose." Today, he got bolder and and called for escalation of the offensives against both Iran and Syria. Bravo. Speaking at a Senate Armed Services Committee...

DENVER, June 16 (UPI) -- A Colorado appeals court ruling makes legal a common law marriage between a 14-year-old boy and 12-year-old girl. The ruling reverses a lower court finding that a 15-year-old girl was too young for a common law union, the Rocky Mountain News reported Friday. While not firmly establishing a minimum age, the three-judge panel noted that Colorado recognizes English common law unions, which legalize such marriages at 12 for girls and 14 for boys. The decision involves a Weld County case in which a girl identified only as J.M.H. began living with Willis Lee Rouse in...

Caucasian accuser was 'first to abuse' By Ean Higgins 02jun06 THE Aboriginal teenager facing the first charges under Western Australia's new race-hate laws claims she spoke back to a white woman only after being racially abused herself. The 15-year-old girl could face up to six months' detention for allegedly calling 19-year-old Mellissa Blackney a "white slut" during a confrontation in the mining town of Kalgoorlie. The girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, claimed Ms Blackney drove her car aggressively towards her, mistakenly believing one of three Aboriginal girls had thrown a rock at her Nissan Skyline. She said...

Levin beats Savage again in New York - 4.2 to 3.7

GENEVA, Switzerland, April 13 (UPI) -- The United Nations says natural disaster dead pose little threat to public health while unnecessary mass burials and cremations increase family suffering. The mass disposal of corpses also leads to legal and other long-term difficulties by preventing proper identification, says a new set of guidelines endorsed by the U.N.'s Geneva-based World Health Organization that were released Thursday. "After most natural disasters, there is a fear that dead bodies will cause epidemics," said Oliver Morgan, an honorary research fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and one of the three co-editors of...

SAN FRANCISCO - An owner of Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod music player filed a federal lawsuit against the computer maker, claiming the device causes hearing loss in people who use it. The portable music players are "inherently defective in design and are not sufficiently adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss," according to the complaint, which seeks class action status. The suit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Jose, seeks compensation for plaintiffs' hearing loss and upgrades that will make the iPods safer. Apple has sold more than 42 million of the devices since they...

I forgive you Canada....the slate is wiped clean. I, who am (pop) culturally deprived, discovered on my television a program called "Two and a Half Men." Perhaps others have heard of it.The episode I saw was a rerun, I've learnt from Google, and the ravishing guest star was Canadian import Emmanuelle Vaugier. C'est une maitresse de ballet très sympathique.Oooo la la. Oooo la la la la la la la la.

A Decatur County deputy’s sharp observational skills helped law enforcement officials catch a man hiding inside a TV early Friday, according to the Sheriff’s Department. After officers from the Sheriff’s Department arrived at a mobile home to help search for a suspect, one of them found Richard Alford Blane, 45, of Ponce DeLeon, Fla., hiding inside an old television set. Blane, who is approximately 6 feet tall and weighs about 140 pounds, was wanted in Walton County, Fla., for burglary, theft, possession of methamphetamine, escape, battery on a law enforcement officer, petty theft, resisting an officer with violence and failure...

A holding company controlled by Yasser Arafat invested in the owner of Bowlmor Lanes in Greenwich Village and New York-based dot-com Vaultus Inc., according to Bloomberg Markets magazine. The just-deceased Palestinian leader and his money managers made such investments through Ramallah-based Palestine Commercial Services Co., which was taken over in 2002 by the Palestine Investment Fund. According to Bloomberg, PCSC sank $1.3 million into Strike Holdings LLC, which owns Bowlmor Lanes, a popular bowling venue. It invested $2.1 million into Vaultus, which makes software. The report also showed that PCSC held a $6.8 million account at Manhattan-based Citigroup, which has...

RCA is 15 years old and in quite good health, considering her advanced years. She came to Alaska from Alabama. Because the housing market was tight and there was pitbull-hysteria in the air, her owners couldn't find a place to rent that would allow pitbulls and she was eventually sent to the Alaska SPCA in Anchorage. A friend of mine, John Ledum, was trying to start a hearing-dog program in Alaska. He and a local veterinarian, Dr. Joyce Murphy, temperament-tested 170 dogs and RCA scored the highest, so she was chosen to be the first hearing dog in Alaska. At...

Empire on the cheap Pentagon's sneak attack on soldiers' combat pay News-Journal editorial Last update: 15 August 2003 Speaking to cadets at the Citadel in South Carolina on Sept. 23, 1999, Candidate George Bush sounded outraged. "Thousands of members of the armed forces are on food stamps," he said. "Many others in uniform get Army Emergency Relief or depend on their parents. This is not the way that a great nation should reward courage and idealism. It is ungrateful, it is unwise, and it is unacceptable." Bush liked that last line so much that he repeated it, word for word,...

The decision to quarantine children who may be carrying the Sars virus on the Isle of Wight will not put islanders at risk, health chiefs say. Around 140 students from boarding schools around the country [U.K.] who have spent half-term in Hong Kong, China and other areas affected by severe acute respiratory syndrome will be staying at an activity centre on the island. The children are being quarantined and monitored for 10 days at the centre, which has not been identified, before being allowed to attend their schools where health checks will also be carried out. Dr Paul Bingham, Isle...
