Welcome to FReeoples Bar & Grill This thread began in the summer of 2001 when a core group of aggrieved refugees set sail from their old home and washed ashore here at Free Republic, the Ellis Island of cyberspace for those who truly cherish the Constitution. But what began as a mere port-of-entry has since evolved, thanks to the hands extended by so many veteran FReepers, into a true FRiendship Society. Yet immigrants everywhere must soon find a niche from which to develop as citizens. And so it seemed only natural that we should delve into entrepreneurship by opening ...

Government school propaganda teaches kids to shun and fear guns and gun owners And tells outright lies in the process from Angel Shamaya, KeepAndBearArms.com with Action Steps below from Neal Seaman, GunControlVictories.com September 10, 2001 Americans' tax dollars are being used to destroy a fundamental American right. America's children are being brainwashed to not only be self-righteous Gun Bigots and defenseless sheep but to shun anyone who will not go down that same dark path. And they are being directly and criminally lied to through a system that includes tests and exercises to make sure their programming is complete. Following ...

Bulawayo now has a MDC mayor - 50 000 votes against 12000 - despite massive electoral fraud. MDC wins all seven Bulawayo council seats contested on the weekend. As expected, MDC loses the Makoni West by-election by 6000 votes to 10 000...

He was the toast of liberal Washington just a few months ago after jumping ship on the GOP. But Democrats have reportedly discovered that Vermont's Independent Senator Jim Jeffords "is impossible to work with" and now hope this term will be his last. "According to one rumor making the rounds on Capitol Hill, the Democrats have discovered (he) really is as impossible to work with as the Republicans said he was," reports UPI's Capital Comment. With the recent spate of retirement announcements by GOP Senators, Jeffords is no longer viewed as crucial to Democrat control of the Senate. Party faithful ...

<p>LONDON, Ky. -- While a judge has ordered three southeastern Kentucky counties to take down displays of the Ten Commandments, 27 other Kentucky counties have kept the biblical laws posted in public buildings without challenge.</p> <p>A survey of all 120 counties by The Courier-Journal found that the commandments are posted in public areas of nearly one-fourth of the state's county courthouses -- and in some cases they have been for years.</p>

Environmental groups urge Congress to end logging on federal lands National Forest Protection Alliance By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (September 10, 2001 3:17 p.m. EDT) - More than 100 environmental groups opposed to commercial logging are asking Congress this week to end an estimated billion-dollar program that provides federal support for tree cutting on National Forest land. The health of some national forests is jeopardized by clear cutting, oil and gas exploration, mining projects, grazing leases, road building and federal-private land exchanges, says the 121-member National Forest Protection Alliance. "The timber sale program is increasingly being disguised behind forest ...

The Legislature, the attorney general, local governments and lower courts have wrestled with Measure 7 since the property compensation initiative passed 10 months ago. Now the property-compensation measure moves to the Oregon Supreme Court, which will determine whether a state considered a pioneer in land-use regulation makes a dramatic switch to the broadest property-rights law in the nation. Justices will hear arguments today on Measure 7's constitutionality. If the court upholds the measure, state and local governments expect to be hit with thousands of compensation claims totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. That may lead some to stop enforcing regulations, ...

Sen. Phil Gramm, who announced Tuesday that he won't run for a fourth term in 2002, has plenty of reasons to quit the Senate. He mentioned the most self-serving ones in his farewell speech. Gramm declared that he had accomplished everything he set out to do—balance the budget, cut spending, defeat communism, and reform welfare (all almost single-handedly, to hear Gramm tell it). He also says he wants to try a new career, which he'd be too old to do if he stayed till 2009. (He's already 59.) And his critics stated the less generous reasons. The Republicans have ...

Just reported, ABC News announced.

To live free in America today. To live in real freedom as envisioned by our forefathers. Seems simple enough seems like something everyone would want. Meanwhile in the real world we step farther and farther away from what now looks more like a dream than a reality. If we look back can we pin point the time that we turned away from our foundation. Can we point out when we stopped believing in the The Bill of Rights, how men died to instill the freedoms of generations to come. We live now in a world of complacency. Everyone seems to ...

September 10, 2001 Gephardt Rallies the Troops By Ethan Wallison Laying out the party's strategy for the fall, Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (Mo.) pleaded with Democrats last week to oppose Republican spending measures, telling Members that the party's prospects in the 2002 elections ride on the outcome. Gephardt has pinned the party's hopes on the argument that the budget crafted by the Bush administration and Congressional Republicans - and particularly the tax cut at its heart - has already forced the government to dip into Social Security revenues. In what was described by sources as a "fiery" and "impassioned" speech, ...

I'm wondering if anyone else noticed the strange political propaganda that arrived yesterday with their Sunday paper.In the slick, 16 page, Kenneth Cole clothing supplemental ad were the usual pouty, disaffected, gaunt women along with the usual vapid, gaunt, disaffected men with bad haircuts. Everyone is wearing the latest version of what Kenneth Cole considers fashion. And strangely, the models all look to have just come from a group lobotomy...even a baby.Now, I know, none of this is either new or especially interesting, except for the fact that each fashion tableau is set in different setting of an American neighborhood, ...

Since becoming the first foreign fast-food chain allowed to enter China in 1989, Dallas-based Tricon Global Restaurants Inc., KFC's parent company, has built 490 stores in 120 cities, nearly all company-owned, and is still expanding. Just to meet its goals for the 100-plus stores on the drawing boards, Tricon will have to finish a store every three days. When the NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, touched off violent anti-American protests in 1999, two KFC outlets were destroyed and 20 heavily damaged. The staff in Li Yang were terrified. But when the sun rose after the first ...

It has only been about a month. That's when a bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Chris Cannon, R-Utah, and Rick Boucher D-Va was introduced to free up the air surrounding the online music industry. The Music Online Competition Act (MOCA) would update copyright law, making it easier for online services to conduct business without being sued and strengthen fair use definitions to clarify and extend the rights of consumers when they buy a CD or movie. You knew that such a bill would not go uncontested by the entertainment industry. Sponsored by powerful chairman of the ...

Actress Jennifer Aniston has revealed the secret treatment for her world famous haircut - horse shampoo. Despite advertising and declaring she used L'Oreal products because she was "worth it," the Friends star has admitting to reaching for the same cleanser as her four-legged friends. She says, "It's called Mane and Tail. You see how long and thick their tails are, right?"

Even Hitler and Stalin didn&acute;t specifically target school children for murder while attending class; yet, this unprecedented phenomenon is being visited upon our children today. As parents send their children off to school this season they are distracted by the spectrum creeping on the periphery of their consciousness that their child could be mowed down by a gun-toting terrorist. Arafat may have sent the terrorist, he may have been sent by Protestant extremists in Northern Ireland, or he may be a fellow student, like at Columbine, who shows up one day in fatigues ready for mass murder. Either way, ...
