HOW THEY SHOULD SAY IT: I would hope for basic honesty in government, you know, tell us how it really is. Let me take a stab at it: "My fellow Americans, we gather here today to inform you of our true purposes. We want to be honest and forthright in all that we do. Our real intentions are to do away with national boundaries, thereby eliminating nations as we know them. We will be simply defining the world in a set of outlined areas. We are now rewilding a large portion of the earth's surface for the purpose of preserving ...

Bush's Parents Won't Watch Debate The Associated Press Thursday, Dec. 2, 1999; 7:15 p.m. EST AUSTIN –– George W. Bush's debate debut Thursday night was important to his presidential campaign, but apparently not to his parents. They were tuning out. His dad, former President George Bush, was fishing in Argentina, and mother Barbara planned to be giving a speech at the time of the debate in Manchester, N.H. Mrs. Bush said she was too nervous to watch him square off for the first time with his five rivals for the Republican presidential nomination next year. "I've never liked debates. I ...

  Trade Topics: Resources: PRESS RELEASE press//151 23 November 1999 WTO DG Moore deplores fake WTO websites: They "undermine WTO transparency" WTO Director-General Mike Moore has severely criticized recently-created websites which mimic the WTO’s websites and create confusion among the public. He says the WTO welcomes criticism and change, but is concerned that the confusion created by the fake sites with their misleading Internet links is a disservice to the public. This could disrupt a much-needed debate by making WTO information more difficult to obtain. This is the text of his statement: "I am deeply concerned about the recent appearance ...

The FOX Republican Candidate Forum (debate) The debate . . . ah, . . . Here's the problem. First off, I don't like this forum for the Republican "debates" anymore, this style (tonight's FOX sponsored "debate" being an example) where each candidate is given a different question without coherency of given issues measured up equally to all the candidates. In other words, I want to go back to the old style of such debate, where each candidate is given the same question, all of them respond to it given their turn, so that we can measure one against the ...

Dec 2, 1999 - 01:24 PM Gun Dealer to Pay Gary, Ind., and Stop Selling Handguns By Jr Ross Associated Press Writer GARY, Ind. (AP) - A gun dealer agreed Thursday to stop selling handguns and pay this violence-plagued city $10,000 to get itself dropped from Gary's lawsuit accusing the gun industry of putting weapons into criminals' hands. The settlement is believed to be the first in which a defendant in one of a series of lawsuits brought against the gun industry around the country has agreed to pay money. Mayor Scott King said Fetla's Trading Co. of Valparaiso ...

Forbes for President   Steve Forbes is The Union Leader's choice in the Feb. 1, 2000, New Hampshire Presidential Primary.   This is a promising but also a very challenging time for the United States. It demands steady, intelligent, conservative leadership. That leadership must be grounded in respect for free enterprise, wariness of big government, and an understanding of and ability to deal with the dangers that still threaten America.   Just as important, it must be leadership that is God-fearing, respectful of innocent life, and determined to restore a sense of decency to the White House.   Of the candidates with any ...

Some conservative commentators have fallen into the trap of assuming the guilt of former college President George Roche III in the Hillsdale College sex and suicide scandal. This, simply because the Board of Trustees removed Roche from his position, and because his son George Roche IV told a cogent and shocking tale to the board and a reporter from the National Review. This disturbing story set in motion a chain of events that was largely unnecessary. First, the Board of Trustees should not have suspended President Roche precipitously and prematurely. In fact, this suspension actually brought about the intense media ...

WTO VIOLENCE THE RESULT OF BREAKDOWN OF TRUST IN CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNMENT (Washington, D.C.) The last six-and-one-half years of lying, deceit, theft, and treason by the Clinton Administration and, in particular President Clinton, are starting to manifest themselves in civil unrest and anarchy. The state of emergency declared over violent protests in Seattle during the World Trade Organization ("WTO") conference is perhaps regrettably just the beginning of similar incidents, which Judicial Watch does not endorse. This is why Judicial Watch is working so hard to bring the Clinton Administration to justice in the year 2000, before Mr. Clinton's term ...

Having watched FOX for the past couple of hours I'm dumbstruck with their failure to even acknowledge the existence of Dr. Keyes. I thought this observation was worthy of its own thread. Am I crazy here, or what?

Listen Friends, and mark my words in this moment and this hour. God is jealous for his name for his name is jealous-- nor is this a charming flower to set before a man nor one of his commands Yet without Jesus this is more than we can love --as we desire peace and less than we can know --as we desire joy... For the sacred fire that makes us liars-- I mean, that separates speach from dreams, and separates our flesh from the future--is God's power manifested. So in the year and the hour for his sake-- invest your ...

Posted under the applicable Fair Use federal statutes for educational purposes (and boy do some people need educating!). Copyright 1999 Oregon Live ® Forest road ban wins applause By Jonathan Brinckman of The Oregonian staff Hundreds of people supporting President Clinton's proposed ban on road construction in wilderness areas of federal forests drowned out a handful of opponents Tuesday night in the Oregon Convention Center. The meeting, held by the U.S. Forest Service, was the first in the Northwest since Clinton's sweeping Oct. 13 announcement that he would propose permanent protection for about 50 million acres in the nation's 154 ...

Thursday, December 2, 1999 Trade Demonstrations Hurt Clinton Legacy, Gore's Push Trade demonstrations in Seattle are a huge black eye for Clinton, who has pushed the World Trade Organization's meeting as a personal image builder. NEW YORK -- President Clinton wanted to launch a new round of global trade talks to burnish his postimpeachment record. What he got instead could be called The Tear Gas Round. The public-relations fiasco here is making it harder for U.S. negotiators to convince other members of the World Trade Organization to agree to an agenda for global negotiations -- the purpose of the ...

In Rome, "La Repubblica," says that U.S. President, Bill Clinton, as the hostage of his own past, comes on tiptoes to Seattle in the middle of the night. He checks into a luxury hotel, protected from the protestors like a South American general. He looks from the window of his penthouse down on scenes from his own youth. And that, perhaps, is the most bitter thing for him. The Inferno of Seattle has been for Clinton the most Dante-esque of experiences: it has projected the world of his past on the screen of his present. Clinton is the first American ...

December 2, 1999 Subject: God Lite! Alan Jacobs said: "The current bumper crop of books celebrating the joys of amorphous and sanguine spirituality seems to find an especially appreciative audience among people whose daily lives are spent in bureaucratized environment which, they feel, oppress their spirits. There are so many of these books that even listing them is a challenge, especially since they tend to proliferate like some uncontrollable malignancy. ... Anyone who reads these books, and the multitudes like them, will soon realize that their counsels and messages are somewhat less than earth-shakingly original and profound. ... This ...
