Forbes told supporters at Riley's Sport Shop that he favors enforcing existing gun-control laws rather than passing new ones. He also said he supports a nationwide computerized instant check system to identify convicted felons who try to purchase firearms. "You ...

The other night at the NH debate, Britt Hume asked George Dubya what he read. Bush named a few newspapers and one book. I was curious as to what my fellow Freepers thought Bush should be reading.

Senior Airman William Shannon King has had enough. He's getting out of the military. King, a 28-year-old engineering assistant with the 60th Civil Engineer Squadron at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., thinks he is underpaid and underappreciated. It's getting harder and harder to make ends meet, said the married father of two. But the biggest pay raises are going elsewhere. "The only people happy with this pay raise," he said, "are 0-4s through 0-6s, and they are the ones who least need it because they are making the most money. It looks like they appreciate the 0-4 more than ...

NEWFIELDS, N.H. (AP) — The violent protests at the World Trade Organization in Seattle last week, abortion and the federal income tax are all examples of infringements on American liberty, Republican Presidential hopeful Alan Keyes said Saturday. Keyes said he is not an isolationist on foreign policy nor a protectionist on trade. But he argued that the WTO's ability to overrule domestic law on trade issues threatens America's sovereignty and basic constitutional freedoms, just as abortion and the income tax do. "It happens every once in while, but it's not normal for Americans to take to the streets to protest," ...
