Terri Schivo is the dividing line. It is crystal clear who in the GOP is a conservative and who is not based on what they are trying to do to save/murder her.
That's true.
But McCain would be completely impotent in his efforts to strangle free speech if not for George Bush Junior's full approval of those efforts, and his eager signing of the Free Speech Suppression Act.
Demonstrated by his actions, George Bush Junior (maybe Senior, too) obviously hates free speech at least as much as McCain.
Why anyone supports these cheap politicians and their assaults on American values is beyond me.
Democrats want a democratic form of government?
I seriously doubt that, the majority of them think the socialist form of governments in France and Russia allow the 'common' folk way too much power. True the U.S. of A. is a republic and God willing, shall always be a republic.
Democrats have no intention of establishing a 'democracy'.
if Frist saves Terri he is elected President in '08.
see #24
I just can't see that happening. The GOP base would turn out in droves in the primaries to ensure McCain gets nowhere near the nomination. Only Hillary Clinton would drive a larger "negative" turnout.
a restoration of its former media monopoly is the cornerstone on which liberalism is dependent for its very survival. That is true, and it has great implications for our friends to the North. Canada is a place where, until recently, there was a liberal monopoly on media that put our own to shame. But now they have Fox News. It will take a few years for results to show, but I predict that conservatives in Canada will find out that they are not isolated anomalies, but are in fact about half the population. That will have serious consequences for the politics in Canada. I don't think there's a way to speed it up; we have to wait for Canadians to find and accept Fox News on their own. |
You're WRONG.....

McCain hopes to be president some day, so he can imitate his idols, Leonid Brezhnev and Yuri Andropov. We must fight any choice between this apparatchik and her Hillariness.
I don't know how "eager" he was. Many believe he just played politics and expected the SC to overturn it. If that's the case, he was foolish.
The courts are where we have to focus. The courts are pretty much running things now and must be stopped from creating law. That is where the greatest danger to our Republic lies.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

The Terri Shiavo thing is a mystery to me.. Maybe its a Roman Catholic thing.. A mystery as to the intensity of the outrage that is.. Every fourth thread here is a Terri Shiavo thread.. Its seems almost an obsession.. as opposed to righteous indignation of some sort..
No, he wasn't "foolish". He was a gutless, duplicitous, spineless, cheap weaselly politician. He should have said "F you, McCain" and torn up that piece of crap in his face.
A principled, liberty-loving president would have done nothing less. Bushie signed it happily.
And assaults like this on the very spirit of America's founding are just fine with many, including many FReepers. It's disgusting.
My main concern is the judiciary, where we as citizens and voters have NO control. NO vote/NO recall.
I have updated my FMCDH (From My Cold Dead Hands) sign-off with the addition of (BITS).....Blood In The Streets, which I foresee coming soon, due to the enormous increase of the Marxist progressive movement being shoved down the throat of this failing REPUBLIC through the Judicial tyranny of fiat law, the passing of unconstitutional laws by the Legislative and Executive branches of our government and the enormous tax burden placed upon the average American to support unconstitutional programs put forth by Marxist ideology.
I do not advocate revolution. I just see what is coming.

Read this WSJ Editorial by Daniel Henninger. With the passing of the almighty network anchors........all but Sir Pete at ABC, there is hope that we will have a better informed population. This has to work AGAINST the marxist elements in the liberal media.
"Dan Rather deserves more than a kick in the pants on his way out the door to a fly-fishing stream in West Texas. With Tom Brokaw's retirement just ahead of Rather's, this is the official end of an era, not just in television but in the cultural life of the nation. There was a time when what happened in the United States got defined by three men: Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings. If they said an event was big, it became big. If they ignored it, it hardly mattered. With two of the three retiring within months of each other, it's worth a look at what happened over the years to them, to the news--and to us.
The golden era of the network anchorman ended about 10 years ago, when FOX and MSNBC joined CNN with constant news programming. With that, the news dominance of CBS, NBC and ABC washed out to sea. Still, the glory days of the network news anchors was really something to behold."

This article was also posted early this morning here on FR, but I don't have the link.
The ballot box means nothing to me anymore. Yeah, I hold my nose and vote. The corruption in the voting system is ludicrous and getting even moreso. Witness the neverending recounts demanded...everywhere, by both parties. Bread and circuses for all, as our Republic goes down the tubes to marxism by both parties. Voting is becoming the joke of the new millenium.
I'm glad I'm on in my years...witnessing the tearing down of the Constitution I have the overwhelming desire to laugh at the foolishness of "the people" and the desire of the same, to turn their lives over to a bunch of power hungry "elected" officials who crave nothing more than more money, bigger retirement plans with the best medical coverage in the history of the world while they demand national health coverage for all, not like their's of course, and in the meantime, trample the Constitution.
There is nothingnew under the sun. I'm glad I know where I'm going in a few years.

Bet there are a lot more Chinese citizens who'd prefer us as "leader of the world" than Americans who'd prefer the Chinese.
Our best hope is that the Judicial branch gets back to a Constitutional stance before '08 and then we roll with the punches. Argueing with the gubbmint is futile. Look to the Judicial, because the elected will sell you and me out at the drop of a hat. Always was, always will be.
