Free Republic

Keyes, has no chance of winning in the decadence that runs rampant in America today. Citizens of this once great country our so self absorbed they can not comprehend what the constitution actually is, this is because it was written by white slave owners, so has no relevence now. The citizens of Decadent America think that the government gives them all the rights they have, as opposed to being unalienable. When we have citizens cheering on the common crimnal that is the president because he gives them thing we have all the lynch pins for tyrany. Please comment.

THE BEADY EYE FACTOR I asked a senior FBI official how he thought Judge Walter Smith, presiding over the Waco wrongful death lawsuit, would react to the latest revelation of evidence that the FBI had failed to turn over until recently. He answered wryly, “you should see how it went over with our judge,” a reference to Director Freeh, a former federal judge. He then said Bureau officials have a gauge of Freeh’s displeasure known as the Beady Eye Factor. When Freeh is unhappy his eyes get more and more narrow. With all the recent unpleasant Waco surprises, he said, ...

Second Amendment Rights I am a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment is still in the Constitution of the United States, contrary to what some elites would like us to believe. And the 2nd Amendment was not put into the Constitution by the Founders merely to allow us to intimidate burglars, or hunt rabbits to our hearts' content. This is not to say that hunting rabbits and turkeys for the family dinner, or defending against dangers, were not anticipated uses for firearms, particularly on the frontier -this is true. But above all, the Founders added the 2nd ...

U.S. News 12/6/99 Running on their faith Bush and Gore are making religion a big issue, and praying voters buy the sermon BY FRANKLIN FOER It's been generations since so many politicians have talked so much about Jesus–and their personal relationship with him. Just back from a jog, George W. Bush is game to talk more. He slings a towel over his shoulder and plops into a seat on the patio of the Texas governor's mansion. "What are we talking about?" Faith. "Good. I like talking about faith." Five minutes later, he's discoursing on the Crucifixion and whether Jews can ...

ALBANY - State officials are secretly considering a 25-cent-a-pack cigarette-tax hike to raise $250 million for expanded health-care coverage, The Post has learned. The whopping new tax - which would hike the existing state cigarette excise tax by 44 percent - could go into effect as soon as January, insiders said. The tax proposal came up during talks between aides to Gov. Pataki and legislative leaders in the past few weeks "in the context of trying to solve the overall HCRA [state Health Care Reform Act] and other health-related problems," said a source with firsthand knowledge of the situation. Pataki ...

'War Hero' Gore Campaigning in Uniform Despite numerous reports indicating he enjoyed special protection when he served as an Army journalist in Vietnam, Vice President Al Gore is now playing the role of a war hero, even donning his old uniform to remind at least one audience of his wartime experience. "In the past month alone, Gore has held three veterans related events in (New Hampshire), the most recent a luncheon Tuesday at an American Legion post on Manchester's West Side," the Concord Primary Monitor reported on Thursday. "On Veteran's Day, he appeared in uniform at a Legion event in ...

In its first major ruling on privacy and defamation in cyberspace, the Court of Appeals on Thursday held that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is merely a conduit for information, as opposed to a publisher, and consequently is no more responsible than a telephone company for defamatory materials transmitted over its lines. The Court unanimously upheld an Appellate Division, Second Department, decision that dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought against Prodigy Services Co., by the father of a Boy Scout whose identity was usurped by an unknown imposter. The imposter posted vulgar messages in the boy's name on an electronic bulletin ...

(CNN) -- With no new protests to disturb them, delegates to the World Trade Organization conference on Friday worked to reach agreement toward launching a new round of talks to reduce international trade barriers. Until the conclusion of the four-day gathering -- set for Friday evening -- activists were being kept well away from the downtown Seattle meeting site. By late morning, there were no reports of new demonstrations. On Thursday, up to 3,000 chanting demonstrators marched to protest the impact of free trade deals on the environment and jobs. The march was in sharp contrast to the tear-gas-shrouded clashes ...

"It is expected that with the arrival of the year 2000 some unexpected incidents may happen and some public services may be disrupted," Mohammad Sepehri-Rad, head of the Supreme Council for Information Technology, said Tuesday. Speaking on television, Sepehri-Rad suggested there could be breakdowns in ...

Washington -- At this stage of the presidential campaigns thoughtful Americans might begin to wonder why we have primaries. Is it to give the press a chance to raise chimerical questions about candidates that would never be raised in polite company? Take the questions regarding John McCain's emotional fitness for office. What decent person would raise such a barbarous question about a man who has demonstrated his emotional fitness in a public career spanning two decades and after a career spent in military service that was exemplary and even heroic? No, rude questions cannot be the reason for having ...

In case you haven't heard the latest, Mayor of Seattle, Paul Schell, a 60's liberal and anti-Vietnam war protester, has apologized for any inconvenience or excess by law enforcment in the battle for Seattle. During this same press conference he has said there was no "battle in Seattle", just free speech. A talk-show host for radio station KVI, the local conservative station, took up collections for pizza to give to the embattled police officers, but here is where it gets strange. According to line officers, the Mayor on seeing "his men" receiving the free grub, absconded with 4 of the ...

KIRO just reported an odd story on the troublesome anarchist group that is blamed for much of the destruction in downtown Seattle. The group broke into and "squatted" in a building at 9th and Virginia, inside the protected zone. They've been there throughout the week and the owner has complained several times to the city that he wants them removed from his property. A number of Seattle detectives and uniformed officers, speaking only after assurance that their identities would be protected, have told KIRO that because of politics, they cannot move against the group.

MEDIUM RARE by Jim Rarey December 3, 1999 KEYES IS WRONG Talk show host and presidential candidate Allan Keyes has charged the media with being racist. Starting with the observable fact that the national media has largely ignored his candidacy, he attributes the reason to his race. He claims the media ignores him because he does not fit their stereotype of what a black politician should be championing. He is wrong. Keyes is being given the silent treatment by the establishment media because he is the most eloquent and passionate advocate in the Republican Party of issues that are diametrically ...

After weeks of talking vaguely of wanting "prosperity with a purpose," Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush has finally revealed what he thinks prosperity's prime purpose is. It's not giving a prescription drug benefit in Medicare or paying down the national debt or eliminating the underclass; it's not strengthening national saving and investment or bolstering Social Security for the baby boomers or subsidizing health coverage to uninsured children and their working parents. No, it's a tax cut. For voters who've been asking, "Who is George W. Bush?" the GOP front-runner has supplied an answer: He's Bob Dole without the ...

With the arrival of the new millennium less than 30 days away, no doubt many people are in the process of making if not finalizing their plans for the New Years Eve festivities.

During this time people will talk of plans for next year, share resolutions, joke, eat, drink and ...

Man Killed by Officers Had Waved Starter Pistol http://www.latimes.com/news/state/19991201/t000109539.html Man Killed by Officers Had Waved Starter Pistol Wednesday, December 1, 1999 By TONY PERRY, TOM GORMAN Times Staff Writers Violence: Driver in three-hour car chase that ended in San Diego may have committed 'suicide by cop,' some speculate.

"… KEYES: ``I mean, Mr. Bush's plan may be this, it may be that. Basically, it has folks running for the calculators to figure out how much your family of four is going to get, you know. ``And so what are we supposed to do again? Get down our knees and thank Massah Bush now because he's going to let us keep a little bit more of our own money, and we'll thank Massah So and So when they do it. ``I think it's time we realized that that kind of thinking is for slaves. My ancestors were slaves. I ...
