Free Republic

Voter Suppression and Disenfranchisement is nothing more than codeword for Voter Fraud President Franklin D. Roosevelt was quoted as saying that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” and some nearly 63 years later he is right. What we have to fear is the hijacking of our Constitutional Republic by radical leftist force bended on obtaining power again at any cost once again. These forces have aligned themselves with the Democrat Nominee Senator John F. Kerry are engaged in a smear and fear campaign targeting the senior and minority communities of America. Senator Kerry, who claim to...

Kevin is on Hannity right now discussing lies about Republicans trying to keep blacks from voting.

Again, Kerry, the empty suit, continues to invent lies about Bush, this time with the race card. Now he is trying to appeal to the left's ignorant and YELLOW DOG voters, with more lies and absudity about the GOP. And now it is Bush that is going to "suppress the black vote"....and how, Mr. Kerry, is the President going to do that??? Of course, he does not tell us that...just more of the same old, tired, Dem playbook lying rhetoric we have heard for so long. Great food for his audience, the YELLOW DOG DEMS, especially those that are more...

WASHINGTON - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) suggested Saturday night that Republicans may attempt to suppress black voter turnout to help President Bush (news - web sites) to victory in November. "What they did in Florida in 2000, they may be planning to do in battleground states all across this country this year," the Democratic presidential nominee said in remarks prepared for delivery to the Congressional Black Caucus (news - web sites).

The White House yesterday distanced itself from a political ad that questions John Kerry's Vietnam service and called on the Democratic presidential nominee to join President Bush in demanding an "immediate cessation" of all advertisements by outside groups. "We have not and will not question Senator Kerry's service in Vietnam," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters aboard Air Force One. "The president is calling for an immediate cessation to all the unregulated soft money activity." He added: "We hope the Kerry campaign will join us." The TV ad features 13 Vietnam veterans who say Mr. Kerry, a Navy lieutenant...

Science proves that love is blind Scientists have shown that there is a degree of truth in the old adage that love is blind. They have found that feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought. It seems that once we get close to a person, the brain decides the need to assess their character and personality is reduced. The study, by University College London, is published in NeuroImage. The researchers found that both romantic love and maternal love produce the same effect on the brain. They suppress neural activity...

WASHINGTON — Air traffic controllers who handled two of the hijacked flights on Sept. 11, 2001, recorded their experiences shortly after the planes crashed into the World Trade Center but a supervisor destroyed the tape, government investigators said Thursday. A report by Transportation Department Inspector General Kenneth Mead said the manager for the New York-area air traffic control center asked the controllers to make the recordings a few hours after the crashes in belief they would be important for law enforcement.

BRASILIA, Brazil - Brazil's army burned all documents about the suppression of a 1970s insurgency against the military dictatorship, the government said Wednesday, angering activists who had hoped that the papers would help them find the remains of missing rebels. The revelation also effectively ruins activists' hopes of properly documenting the guerrilla movement, which was inspired by Fidel Castro (news - web sites)'s Cuban uprising. While insurgencies in other Latin American countries including Bolivia and Peru have been well traced, little is known about Brazil's Araguaia guerrillas. It will also likely make any related prosecutions linked to the disappearances more...

February 6, 2004 Beijing Urges Bush to Act to Forestall Taiwan VoteBy JOSEPH KAHN BEIJING, Feb. 5 — China is putting pressure on the Bush administration to intervene more decisively to prevent Taiwan from holding a referendum on relations with the mainland, calling the planned vote a "dangerous provocation" that could lead to a confrontation. Beijing sent a mission to Washington this week to urge the United States to take more concrete steps to rein in Taiwan's president, Chen Shui-bian, a Chinese Foreign Ministry official said. Mr. Chen has repeatedly played down statements from President Bush and the State Department...

Cardinal Tucci Warns Against "Dictatorship of Minorities" In Wake of Judge's Decision to Bar Crucifix From School ROME, NOV. 2, 2003 (Zenit.org).- The court-ordered removal of the crucifix from a school because it offended a Muslim is evidence of the West's misinterpretation of the rights of minorities and of the principle of laicism, says a cardinal. A judge's decision to remove the crucifix from the Antonio Silveri nursery and elementary school in the village of Ofena, at the request of Adel Smith, president of the Union of Muslims of Italy, was made public Oct. 25. Italian Minister of Justice Roberto...

When I became editor in charge of news coverage at The New York Times, the man who had been a predecessor of mine, the blessed Mississippian Turner Catledge, gave me one piece of advice: Don't tell editors of other papers and networks how to run their operations. You will have plenty to do running your own. Now and then, I do complain about the press - usually for not giving its audiences enough reporting on human rights unless a dictator, as in Iraq, is slaughtering his people or, as in Sudan, enslaving them. Even when Saddam Hussein and his fascist...

FREE TAKI! In Blair's Britain, politically incorrect speech is a crime The idea that the "allies" – basically, the U.S. and Britain – are two liberal "democracies" that are bound and determined to "liberate" Iraq from the evil repressive Saddam has always been a complete crock. The "rapturists" and the neoconservatives have been demanding Iraq's scalp for years as the price of their support to the GOP, and, as for Tony Blair's Britain, the last time a gas shortage hit that bleak little isle the government was nearly brought down. This rotten war's only connection to "democracy" is that our...

This weekend two soldiers died from a fire in an M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank at Fort Hood, Texas. I recalled that the Abrams had this hi-tech fire suppression system that was supposed to flood the tank with Halon gas and snuff out any fire immediately. I wondered why it failed to work. This link is to a PDF document regarding the removal of the Halon Fire Suppression systems for US military vehicles for what looks like environmental reasons. Do any Freepers know if this removal was mandated by the EPA or by treaty? I am curious to know what...
