"I had not been all that politically active prior to President Clinton's election," Robinson recalls. "Yes, I complained about government and politics just like everyone else … but politics was not particularly high on my list of priorities – until Slick came along."

Robinson saw that the Clintons had brought a new and dangerous level of corruption to American politics. He could no longer remain aloof. "I knew that the newspapers and news media were lying and I knew that government had been encroaching on our individual rights and that our politicians were as corrupt as the day is long. I also knew that nothing would be done about it unless we the people somehow joined together to exercise our political free-speech rights."

" is a must read to understand how the left infiltrates web sites like FR to shape public opinion."

That's because they're NOT WORKING at occupations that are productive to and for America. The rest of us are working real jobs and posting inbetween. Hillary goons are on payroll to coerce, intimidate and bully their critics. Hmmm sound familiar? Think communist tyranny.

[AliVeritas]

Please don't tell me we're mainstream now.
Just Kidding.

Jim thank you so much, you are truly a great American who loves his country.

You not only show the politically numb and starving how to fish...you give them a boat.

God Bless

>>He wasn't called that, but the first Web Log was Jerry Pournelle's. Still one of the best for thoughtful commentary, although outdated format.

Ah, another Pournelle fan, I see. I'm a long time subscriber there (and a monthly here, it's worth noting - the only two sites I pay for).

Many would call FreeRepublic's format "outdated". I'd call both sites effective, without distractions, content rich.

God, I *hate* Flash.

What this article demonstrates is the ultimate trimph of one of the tenants of Alvin Toffler's landmark book, The Third Wave.

One chapter of that book, "De-Massifying the Media," predicted that as communications technologies improve the hammerlock of information control by the mainstream media will come to an end. Since the publication of The Third Wave in 1979, the rise of 60+ channel cable TV, 120+ channel digital cable TV, 200+ channel satellite TV, the public Internet, the rapid rise of talk radio, and dramatically reduced periodical production costs have resulted in enormous erosion of MSM influence. Why do you think the subscription rates for the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, and a myriad of other newspapers have taken a nosedive?

Thank you so much JimRob

I will always support you, and FR, both with words and money.

Like Rush and Hannity (who also deny it) in your own way you are a true American hero.

Jim Robertson ? remember ? if your God's child, you have friends in HIGH PLACES ,,,


Psalms Chapter 2

1: Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2: The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3: Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5: Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7: I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8: Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9: Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10: Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11: Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12: Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.


Just remember how GOD protected the prophet Elisha when the king of Syria tried to capture Elisha...


II KINGS chapter 6 verses 8 - 20 ...


8: Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.

9: And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.

10: And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.

11: Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?

12: And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

13: And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

14: Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.

15: And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

16: And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

17: And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

18: And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

19: And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.

20: And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

I am deeply impressed with the amazing courage of the Robinson family in the face of overwhelming personal difficulties, including the devastating attack by Clinton's lawyers in the 1990's.

"The book, Hillary's Secret War, is a must read to understand how the left infiltrates web sites like FR to shape public opinion."

Oh no, please don't make me do it! Read about Hillary? Say it isn't so.

I'll never forget when she had Ira Magaziner lie to the judge about the makeup of her health care task force. The press wanted access and she said they were all government workers which meant they didn't have to open it to the press.

When the Judge found out he was lied to, he fined Ira Magaziner 1/4 million in fines. She arranged to have tax dollars pay the fine.

And then the WHO DB.. and the 'political' assasination of every Democrat candidate for 2000. Bob Kerrey's outing as killing citizens in Nam comes to mind. He was positioned for a run.

No one should underestimate "her slickness".

[CedarDave]

Worth remembering as we approach 2008:

Stephanopoulos had just announced on national television that the White House was prepared to unleash an "Ellen Rometsch"-style bloodbath. He thus put "every member of the Senate" and "every member of the press corps" on notice that their personal "dirty linen" would be exposed should they investigate the Clintons too aggressively. This was no idle threat. Thanks to her Shadow Team, Hillary had extensive dossiers on every potential foe. On Feb. 12, 1999, the Webzine Capitol Hill Blue reported:

"Despite official denials, the Clinton White House has collected new dossiers, complete with financial records, FBI investigative information and IRS reports on House impeachment managers and other perceived enemies of the administration. …

"I've seen FBI and IRS files on members of Congress, complete dossiers on reporters and more," one worried aide admitted. "This is really scary."

And so the Clintons got off the hook … not once, but many times. That the Clintons ruled by fear – and that fear alone kept them in office – has long been an open secret in Washington.
