Clinton wants schools to promote homosexuality The U. S. House of Representatives is considering The Child Safety & Youth Violence Prevention Act of 1999 (H.R. 1501). The Clinton administration wants to use this legislation to advance homosexuality in America's public schools. If this bill is enacted intact "crime prevention" programs that have a distinct anti-Christian, pro-homosexual message will be implemented. The goal is to indoctrinate America's youth into believing that homosexuality is normal and moral and that anyone who says otherwise is spreading hate. Curricula that would be used to achieve this goal include the book, "Healing the Hate," which ...

A divided Supreme Court broke new ground yesterday in shifting power from the federal government to the states, ruling in three related cases that substantially limited individuals' ability to sue when they believe that states have violated their rights under federal law. The laws at issue have the potential to affect anyone doing business with a state -- for example, a public employee who is owed wages or a company that thinks a state has defrauded it in some way. In the trio of contentious 5 to 4 rulings, the court made clear that in such cases, the individuals involved ...

Russians Expected in Kosovo Soon By ROBERT BURNS .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - After wrangling with NATO over the role of Russian troops in postwar Kosovo, Moscow could begin sending 3,600 peacekeepers to the Serb province as early as Friday. U.S. and NATO officials on Thursday welcomed the additions but acknowledged potential problems. British Lt. Gen. Sir Mike Jackson told a news conference in Pristina, the provincial capital, that discussions were under way ``at quite a high level'' on how best to use the Russian contingent. The forces will operate in separate sectors controlled by the United States, ...

Now that NATO forces are on the ground in Kosovo, they finally have an opportunity to observe the effects of the 79 day bombing campaign. Readily apparent is that NATO was successful in targeting buildings, fuel depots, and other fixed infrastructure. This comes as no surprise, since there was ample video footage of the damage available throughout the conflict. What has also become apparent is that NATO’s bombing campaign did strikingly little damage to Yugoslav military equipment, troops, and capacity to wage war. Despite NATO claims that it had damaged or destroyed some 40 percent of Yugoslavia’s main battle ...

Media reports today indicate that the United States Department of Justice has offered a $5 Million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of ANYONE indicted for war crimes in the Yugoslavia/Kosovo conflict. This should serve as an inspiration to the FReepers in their quest to formally indict Clinton/Albright/Cohen et al for their unlawful invasion and occupation of the sovereign nation of Yugoslavia. Let's see now...$5M per...for all three...plus others... that could add up rather quickly. Step one is to get the indictments.

NO REST FOR THE WICKED The War Party never rests. No sooner is the war in Kosovo "ended," and the sky cleared of NATO's bombs, then war clouds immediately begin to gather on the horizon. "In Africa or central Europe" intoned Clinton on the occasion of his visit to a Macedonian refugee camp, "we will not allow – only because of differences in ethnic background or religion or racism – people to be attacked. We will stop that." This underscores the quintessentially leftist nature of the new imperialism: the United States is now embarked on an international holy war against ...

"Charlie's Soap", a vegetable based, non toxic, biodegradable household soap, is under Federal investigation for stating on its label that cockroaches "choke on the bubbles." The EPA says "Charlie's ...

A Portrait of America telephone survey has found that the just under half (49.5%) of American adults would vote for the Constitution if it were on the ballot today. The survey also found that 23% of those surveyed say that they would vote against the Constitution while 27% are not sure. "The lack of support for the Constitution probably stems from the high levels of public disgust with government and politics today," observed Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Research. Recent surveys have found that 72% of Americans now view the federal government as a special interest group that looks out ...

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. PROVIDENCE, R.I., June 24 (UPI) - Sergei Khrushchev, whose father several decades ago threatened the Soviet Union would "bury" the United States, is about to become a U.S. citizen. The 63-year-old Brown University rocket engineer and computer scientist and his wife Valentina Golenko, 51, both passed a 20-question test on American citizenship with flying colors at the Federal Building in Providence, R.I., and will be sworn in as American citizens on July 12. Khrushchev actually scored a 95, while his wife aced the test. Residents of Rhode Island since 1991, ...

Poll: Concerns on Morals Help GOP By WILL LESTER .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - While Americans rallied behind President Clinton during the impeachment process, a bipartisan poll released today suggests the public has a growing concern about moral leadership that may help Republicans. The GOP has almost a 20 percentage-point edge over Democrats when asked which party best represents the values of faith in God, personal responsibility, ethics and honesty and knowing right from wrong, according to the latest Battleground Poll. Democrats and Republicans are tied at 39 percent apiece when voters were asked which party they would ...

America. The home of the free and the land of the problem-solver. We are a nation born of reason. Out of the wilderness and chaos, our forefathers set forth a great nation. They set it in ink, not stone, on the parchment of the Constitution. The great experiment that is still America is an experiment in the properties of balance: the rights of the individual versus the will of the majority. We the people: We are a poem, interpreted daily. We are the solution to every problem. We are the Bill of Rights. We believe that every injustice can be ...

The purpose of an oath is simple, and the responsibility which an oath garners should not be taken lightly. The person taking an oath has a responsibility to fulfill -- as well as preserve the integrity of -- his promise. Long ago when I took my oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, I never dreamed that anyone would order me to do something that contradicted my oath. Now, as I approach end of my contract, I realize that this is not so. We live in a complicated world, and sometimes certain situations perpetuate a series of difficult ...

The fighting between Pakistan and India, which began on May 10, has entered a new and dangerous phase. Early last week Pakistan accused India of using chemical munitions in the disputed Kashmir. A high-ranking Pakistani commander stated that India had used chemical artillery shells. These were said to emit a smoke which causes blisters, nausea, and itching. What brought on this chemical attack? On June 11 India accused Pakistan of breaking the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners. Indian officials claimed that one of their downed pilots and six Indian soldiers had been tortured. Retaliation for these "war crimes" ...

Is NATO Playing Russian Roulette in Kosovo? by Sarah Trexler Three months since the beginning of the air war in Yugoslavia, the United States and Russia are attempting to patch up a relationship strained by strong Russian opposition to NATO's mission in Kosovo. The effort to rebuild relations includes, in part, a plan to work together to rebuild what is left of the Kosovo region. After last week's Group of Eight meeting, in which world leaders cemented Russia's role in cooperation with NATO mission Operation Joint Guardian, Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev said yesterday that Russia could dispatch peacekeeping troops to ...

. WWII concentration camp commander says `no harm was done' . 6/24/99 ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - Declaring his conscience is clear, the last known living World War II concentration camp commander claimed Thursday that ``no harm was done'' to the inmates of Croatia's notorious Jasenovac camp. Dinko Sakic is charged with carrying out or allowing torture, random killings and mass executions while running the camp in 1944. He maintained he intervened to save several Jewish detainees at Jasenovac, one of more than 20 concentration camps run by the then-Nazi puppet state of Croatia. ``No one came to Jasenovac because of ...
