Free Republic

GOP UNAWARE OF GROWING REBELLION Ken David Athens(al) 7/4/99 Dr Max Boone, of Athens, in his letter to "The News-Courier" editor last week expressed his frustration with the Republican Party's lack of committment to finding, and presenting, a candidate devoted to pro-life principals. If Dr. Boone expects the GOP to suddenly develop a principaled stand on anything, he may be sadly disappointed. In 1994 Republicans swept the Democrats from power in Congress, winning control of both the House and the Senate. The GOP won control of Congress because they offered a principaled, realistic, conservative alternative to Bill Clinton.... Voters believed ...

CAMP ABLE SENTRY, Macedonia, July 4, (UPI) - A U.S. Army soldier has been killed in a traffic accident in Macedonia. The Army says the soldier, whose name was not released, was in a truck that was part of a convoy moving from Thessalonki, Greece to Macedonia as part of NATO operations in Kosovo. The accident occured about 9 miles (15 km) south of Skopje, a major staging area for U.S. operations in Kosovo. No other details have been released. One civilian was also killed in the mishap and another injured, but it was not revealed whether the civilians ...

WHAT do the Statue of Liberty, Independence Hall, Jefferson's Monticello and Yellowstone National Park have in common? Each of these national treasures now is regulated according to the dictates of foreign bureaucrats rather than according to the will of the American people. That's because each of these sites has been designated as an U.N. World Heritage Site. A U.N. World Heritage Site is an internationally protected landmark of cultural, historical or natural significance that the national government promises the United Nations it will protect. With the signing of the 1972 World Heritage Treaty, which established the U.N. World Heritage ...

Political Correctness a Deadly Game By Semper Fidelis Economic Marxism is and has been a dismal failure in history and in the present. One only has to look at socialist economies throughout the world to bare that fact out. Failing in their attempt to socialize industry, socialists have moved to the cultural front. Social Marxism is a fatally serious game that is becoming deeply entrenched in our American culture: you can see it on television; hear it from your friends; read it in your newspapers; and you can sense it at your work. It is Political Correctness. George Orwell once ...

Bill Clinton relieved that cocaine pardons are on the horizon for his political cronies. Keith Richards is quoted as asking: "Does this mean I can be the next president? Like I did more Coke than Bill, Jese, and George Bush and I sold the crack to Mayor Barry. Read here about the cocaine pardons! Is this the best the republicans can do? If not then can we blame our children for their conduct and point at the media?

Perhaps the most notable characteristic of the Clinton administration has been the belief that to talk about a problem is to deal with it or, at least, to persuade others that you are dealing with it. Thus, we have been treated to passionate discussions of race or education unaccompanied by any substantial measures, almost as if to name a problem were to solve it. The president's latest proposal to expand Medicare, although welcome, is a poignant reminder of how much time and opportunity have been wasted. At the start of his administration, the president presented a far more sweeping ...

BELGRADE, July 4 (Itar-Tass) - Chairman of the International Commission on Missing Persons, former U.S. Senator Bob Dole visited Pristina on Sunday for meeting Albanian leaders.

Might it be possible for a nation to go from wide-open freedom for the right to arms to almost complete gun prohibition in just a few decades? The answer is yes. The destruction of gun rights in Great Britain during the 20th Century offers an important lesson for American gun owners. If we repeat the mistakes of our British cousins, we too will find ourselves disarmed sooner than we had imagined possible. So let's look carefully at how British gun owners lost their rights and investigate a story with ominous parallels for the United States. The Late 19th Century In ...

"How is the world ruled and led to war? Diplomats lie to journalists and believe these lies when they see them in print." -- Karl Kraus Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, let's pull out our calculators and count the MiGs. Yugoslav MiG-29s that is. Yes, the same ones that NATO said it has destroyed. Let's count them and compare to the number of MiG-29s remaining operational with YuAF. A number of Western news agencies and NATO itself reported that eleven MiG-29 fighter jets have departed from the Slatina airbase near Pristina on June 12, 1999. The Slatina airbase has an extensive ...

First Lady To Face Senate Questions Josef Hebert WASHINGTON (AP) - About to kick off a get-acquainted road show in anticipation of a New York Senate candidacy, Hillary Rodham Clinton faces questions such as whether she can represent a state she's never lived in and her use of government aircraft. That's before she even gets to the issues, such as how she'll stick up for New York's interests and her husband's Medicare proposals at the same time. "I don't have any doubt that she's going to mount a campaign and she's going to win. There's no downside at all," ...

Dear Mr. President: For more than six years now, we've all marveled at your ability to control the press and eke your way out of the stickiest of situations. Who but you could succeed in blaming a "vast right wing conspiracy" for an impeachment? Who but you could pin the rap on all your predecessors for a Communist Chinese spy ring in our nuclear labs? Who but you could get away with bombing countries into rubble and sending American troops willy-nilly around the world as global policemen? But now that the American media has left these matters behind and the ...

OLD GLORY I am the flag of the United States of America.  I was conceived in the dreams of liberty and in the hopes of freedom. I was designed by the hands of Betsy Ross and her sewing basket was my cradle. Though I was never an orphan, I was adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777 and proclaimed the national emblem of a nation, newly born on this continent, fighting valiantly for survival and destined to bring to all mankind a new concept of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I have been many places and seen ...

UPI Focus) Vets among nation's homeless on July 4 KANSAS CITY, MO, July 4 (UPI) - As the United States celebrates the Fourth of July, military veterans comprise a significant number of the residents of rescue missions around the country. The Rev. Stephen Burger, executive director of the International Union of Gospel Missions, tells United Press International, "On Fourth of July, 32 percent of the homeless men in rescue missions across America will be veterans who have served their country, and now they're homeless and oftentimes in rather difficult straits." Burger says, of that number, 43 percent fought in Viet ...

On Oct. 22, 1992, 61-year-old Donald Scott was shot dead in his own home by a sheriff’s deputy serving an early-morning search warrant on Scott’s ranch in Ventura County, Calif. No drugs were found, and the local district attorney later determined that the search warrant had been obtained by using false evidence. So why was the raid undertaken? The district attorney’s investigation determined that the deadly raid “was motivated, at least in part, by a desire to seize and forfeit the ranch for the government.” Before the raid occurred, deputies had gone so far as to get an appraisal of ...

The proportion of Americans starting up new businesses is far higher than the rate for Europeans, according to a 10-nation study by the London Business School and Babson College. Europeans are much more risk-averse than Americans and Canadians, and they fear the stigma of failure, the researchers found. o In the U.S., 8.5 percent of the U.S. adult population will start a business at some time in their lives -- while the rate for Canadians is 6.8 percent. o That compares with 3.3 percent of Britons, 2.2 percent of Germans, 2 percent of Danes, 1.8 percent of the French and ...

CHRISTIAN groups have called for a boycott on serving in the armed forces following a decision to recognise witchcraft as an organised religion which can be openly practised on American military bases. The Pentagon ruling, which allows members of the armed forces who are witches to hold pagan rituals inside bases, has angered conservative politicians and religious organisations, including the Christian Coalition and the American Family Association. They are among 13 groups who say that Christians should not serve in the American armed forces until the rituals are banned. A spokesman said: "An army that sponsors satanic rituals is ...
