Ashcroft has a long and tawdry history of ignoring civil rights and Ridge has shown himself to be willing to do whatever the boys at 1600 Pennsylvania tell him to.

You know, as I started to read this, there was a certain... odor... in the air.... As I read further and further...? That smell became progressively worse.

I get to the sentence above...

And had to laugh. The author is obviously a dimocRAT shill...

LOL!!! So anyone that doesn't buy the line, 'The President is always right, safety before freedom' is now a Democratic shill?!? You don't see the apparent use of a law like this in the hands of the wrong people? Not to mention liberals, heck I'm questioning this administration's use of such a law.

Stand in line now citizens, don't push. Daddy government knows what's best for you

Capitol Hill Blue publisher seriously ill
"I received an email this morning from a friend of mine who works in House Speaker Denny Hastert's office. He reports that that the word on the Hill is that Capitol Hill Blue publisher Doug Thompson is seriously ill with a brain tumor and has been undergoing chemotherapy for the past three weeks.

I sent an email to Jack Sharp, the editor of Capitol Hill Blue this morning to try and get more information, but I thought fellow freepers might want to know. Doug and his web site have been strong supporters of Free Republic and I felt others would want to join my family in our prayers for Doug for a swift and complete recovery."

"God Bless you Doug, you are in our prayers.

"Email received from Doug:

Jim:

Many thanks for the kind thoughts. I wasn't aware the word was out until a freeper sent me a copy of the post.

It's not as bad as it sounds. The tumor is benign, but they are zapping it with chemo as an alternative to surgery. Hopefully, I'll be back on my feet by September.

I appreciate the concern and please pass my thanks on to all.

Doug

Hang in there, Doug. We'll keep the prayers going.

I just received this email from Jack Sharp, Capitol Hill Blue's editor:

Our email box has been overflowing today with expressions of sympathy for Doug's recovery. He's trying to answer personally each of the messages, but tires easily (a side effect of the chemo), so please understand if he takes a few days to get all the messages answered.

Please pass this on: While any brain tumor is serious, Doug's tumor is not, repeat not, malignant. They are giving him chemo to try and avoid surgery and the doctors are extremely confident that he will make a full and complete recovery without having to go under the knife.

Our thanks for the many expressions of concern and prayers. They are very much appreciated. We're always been proud that Capitol Hill Blue is considered part of the Free Republic family.

Jack Sharp and the staff of Capitol Hill Blue

If only it were true that the Republican Party offered a sane, constitutional answer to our problems! It is clear that the leadership, and a majority of BOTH parties are interested in advancing the police state. Let's get real.
