Free Republic

(CNS) - First Lady Hillary Clinton next week will begin a "summer long listening tour" after her exploratory committee files registration papers with the Federal Elections Commission next Tuesday for an anticipated run for the seat of retiring New York Democrat Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. "I'm eagerly looking forward to listening to New Yorkers and hearing directly what's on their minds about the issues affecting their families" Mrs. Clinton said in a printed statement released Wednesday. Clinton's sentiments come on the heels of a recent poll indicating she is losing ground to her most likely Republican opponent, New York City ...

There was a Castle Grande deal Rodham and Hubbell ripped us off "We did not do it" they may squeal But there's a Castle Grande deal Rodham prepared the documents Hundreds of thousands had appeal Money was funneled to Seth Ward That was the Castle Grande deal All of these years the witch is lying And she committed perjury The billing records would disappear "Oh no, oh no, oh no it wasn't me" She's really brought this country grief There's nothing that she wouldn't ...

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 30) -- Former Associate Attorney General and Clinton friend Webster Hubbell pleaded guilty Wednesday to one felony charge of concealing his legal work on a failed Arkansas land deal and one tax evasion misdemeanor, both as part of a plea agreement with Independent Counsel Ken Starr. Under the terms of the agreement, prosecutors recommended no jail time or fine for the felony and will drop charges against Hubbell's wife, Suzy, and his accountant. U.S. District Judge James Robertson accepted Hubbell's guilty pleas and the prosecutors' sentence recommendation, placing Hubbell on one year probation. "After five years, it's ...

INDIA NOT DAUNTED BY PAK NUKE THREAT: PM LUKHNOW: Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee said here on Wednesday that India was prepared to face a nuclear attack from Pakistan. Asked about Pakistan's reported threat to use the nuclear bomb, he said: ``We are prepared for all eventualities.'' Mr Vajpayee, who was answering questions at a press conference, made it clear that India had no intention of crossing the Line of Control (LoC) ``as of today''. He made this remark when his attention was drawn to the reported views of some military experts that the number of Pakistani intruders in ...

The Money Chase Today is the end of the second quarter and financial reports filed in a few days will show we are in 3rd place after Bush and McCain and in first place among conservatives! With your generous help we have brought in $3.4 million and the federal matching program now owes us an additional $2.3 million. Importantly, we have not had to rely on special interest money like the millions Bush recently raised in Washington, D.C. The lobbyist crowd now has their hooks in to Bush and several other GOP candidates and that means it will be "business ...

HERE ARE SOME GRAPHICS DESIGNED FOR THE CANDIDATES USE FREELY! OUR BUBBA! McCain has the "SAGACITY" to take us forward in my opinion.Tobacco Legislation, Y2k Legislation, S.S. Protection LegislationMcCain takes a stand and does not waffle.On Kosovo McCain took a stand early. If he works as hard as he did on overcominghis stutter as a president then he might be good.But somehow I wonder if self financed campaignsare a good idea for America. The "LUKEWARM" candidate who brings nothing "unique"to the debate on the issues.I see no reason why he would be a "bad"or for that fact an "inspiring" leader. ...

YOU GO GIRL! In its July issue, George magazine asks Daisy Fuentes, host of America's Funniest Home Videos, to name the book she would make required White House reading if she were president. She replies: "Witness, by Whittaker Chambers, because it speaks against the evils of communism." (It finished at #24 in NR's best non-fiction books of the century.) Asked what she would outlaw: "Taxation." And asked to write the first headline of her administration: "President Fuentes Bombs Castro Out of Power."

NAACP: Keep portrait down / 'The Civil War is over. It was lost' Wednesday, June 30, 1999 BY CARRIE JOHNSON Times-Dispatch Staff Writer A month after Robert E. Lee's image was taken down from the Canal Walk's floodwall, the local and state NAACP announced they want it to stay down. "The Civil War is over. It was lost. The Confederates were found to be traitors to the United States," King Salim Khalfani, executive director of the Virginia State Conference of the NAACP, said after a news conference yesterday. "We're not in denial about history, but as an African person, when ...

CANBERRA, Australia -- The political leaders of this nation on Wednesday passed into law one of the world's most far-reaching online content censorship regimes. The rules -- which take effect 1 January, 2000 -- enable Australian government regulators to order domestic Internet service providers (ISPs) to take down indecent or offensive Web sites housed on their servers, and also require they block access to certain domestic or overseas-based content. See also: Australia's Brave New World "We're on fairly new ground here," said Stephen Nugent, special projects manager for the Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA). "The codes of practice envisaged under ...

I had this saved in a Bush Info file. In reading it again it brought to mind our current beloved leader and his methods. It's not sourced in my file. The Leader and his Teachings -------- George Bush's career as a "public servant" also has its lessons concerning the New World Order. He is the one head of state who stands condemned by the World Court for "the unlawful use of force"; in direct defiance of the Court, he persisted in the terror and illegal economic warfare against Nicaragua to prevent a free election in February 1990, then withheld aid ...

WASHINGTON — The House Wednesday easily passed a bill that would make it a crime for anyone other than a parent to take a teen-age girl across state lines for an abortion. The vote was 270-159. The House passed the bill by a slightly bigger 276-150 margin last year. A Senate panel approved it but the full Senate never took it up, despite Majority Leader Trent Lott's support. The Senate has not yet taken action this year. About half of U.S. states require one or both parents to be notified before a minor can have an abortion, and the ...

This self-proclaimed man of the left, who studied at Oxford while Bill Clinton was there, saw the handwriting on the wall concerning the future chief executive as early as 1992. NOTE:I am transcribing this from my copy of the magazine. I am including only the interview portion of the article and not the background information on Hitchens which would be redundant to his many fans here. Insight:You were skeptical of Bill Clinton as early as the New Hampshire primary in 1992. Hitchens:I felt there was something politically monstrous about him. There were moments when he seemed like a reptile breakfasting ...

AT&T has chosen to pick the pockets of its customers for $3.85 per month for "national access contribution" aka The Algore Tax.As I object in principle to this unlawful charge, I would like to change long distance carriers. Does anyone know of one who does not steal "contributions" from its customers?

There was a time when politics was perceived as a noble calling. Etiquette books and English grammar primers still instruct us to address letters written to officeholders with reverential dignity, as in "Honorable Senator Adams." Today, however, attitude surveys reveal that our citizens' respect for politicians is down in the cellar, about par with their feelings about used car salesmen and IRS auditors. If this is so, how does one explain the current intoxication of New York State Democrats with the possibility of Hillary Clinton trying to fill Daniel Patrick Moynihan's vacant Senate seat? After all, here is a woman ...

No one at all can doubt that what has transpired in Kosovo as a result both of Slobodan Milosevic's brutality and the NATO response has made matters a good deal worse than they were before the bombing. The cost in human suffering on all sides has been dreadful, and whether it is in the tragedy of the refugees or the destruction of Yugoslavia, no simple reckoning or remedy will be available for at least a generation, perhaps longer. As any displaced and dispossessed person can testify, there is no such thing as a genuine, uncomplicated return to one's home; ...

A Declaration of Independence 1999 It is that time of the year again - the American Independence Day No. 223. Or is it? Are we still an independent nation as declared and conceived by our Founding Fathers 223 years ago? Perhaps it is time once again for us take a good look at ourselves on this Fourth of July and ask: Do the principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence of 1776 still apply today? And if not, how might an American Declaration of Independence 1999 read? To help you in this difficult deliberation, we submit the following draft: "In ...

Filed June 28, 1999 Presidential race 2000 has already spawned its first protests, with demonstrators following Vice President Al Gore from Tennessee to New Hampshire to New York to Philadelphia. There is no catchy character -- like 1992's ``Chicken George'' or 1996's ``Buttman'' -- but their issue provides an excellent object lesson about the rotten core of American politics: how our campaign finance system allows powerful special interests to secretly dictate policy -- even when the life or death of millions is at stake. The protesters are outraged that Gore, in his role as co-chair of the U.S.-South African Binational ...

I can't disagree with columnist Tim Gallagher (Ventura County Star) about the sickness that wrestling "entertainment" has become. But it seems to be a bit unfair to single out that area of today's culture, when it is only one bit of filth riding the weekly TV stream of sewage. Nothing seems too crude anymore for laughter at least from the canned audience recording. The average "sitcoms" now resemble bathroom graffiti more than anything else. They could be scripts from the filthiest-minded sophomore in a creative writing class. It is obvious that is what is watched and enjoyed in our ...
