Free Republic

<p>For all of us who believe activism is sitting in a chat room or posting to Free Republic, Atheist Newdow should serve as a clear lesson and shot accross our collective bows.. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! This Sacramento health care worker has lost many battles in court where he represents himself. This time he hit pay dirt. While some of us battle over our own turf, the determined (like Newdow) move stealthily through our courts and legislatures, undermining the very freedoms we've seen our ancestors die for, thanks to socialist liberals who conspire to overthrow us. By God, the majority will succumb to the dictates of the minority! The ungodly will have their way with us and our constitution will become moot!</p>

WE WANT PEACE We gave our territories. Israel is all we have, while the arabs have 22 countries. Then we gave it up to the palestinians, so we may have peace. We got terrorism as our reward. Israelis never used terrorism. Each time innocent people were killed, no matter their side, the people of Israel lamented over the lost. But some arabs support those kamikaze attacks, unaware of our sincere intent. Many young arabs born into a climate of hate and violence against Israel and Jews are offering themselves to kill as many innocents they can. They believe that by...

Unfortunately, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) was hit by a Daschle...

Voters want Senate to help, not hinder, Bush 6/26/02 Source: Hill News By: Senator Bill Frist This article has been excerpted Inside the Beltway, it’s easy to succumb to the politics of November’s elections. Who’s up, who’s down, what the latest poll numbers are — what the media like to call the “horse race.” The folks I talk to around the country see it differently. Americans are tired of watching Senate Democrats play partisan political games with President Bush’s agenda. They know that the only way to ensure progress is to elect a Republican majority the president can count on....

Decision is an ‘insult’ to Americans. LOS ANGELES ­ Gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon today released the following statement regarding the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision on the Pledge of Allegiance. "I have spent the last week talking to veterans about their issues and promoting reforms I believe will do justice to their service. I believe this decision is an insult to all Americans ­ particularly our veterans. "Today in fact, I learned of the decision while I was touring a veteran’s facility - a veteran’s transitional living facility whose purpose it is to continue to help those who really...

Azzam has "A Friend in Pennsylvania" Al-Qaeda moved their web server, Azzam.com from Malaysia back to Pennsylvania (at BurstNET) on May 28th.

Two days ago (June 24,2002) we read...

What did Bush mean? by YISRAEL MEDAD Jun. 27, 2002 In his speech on Monday, US President George W. Bush made one direct reference to the Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza and another oblique one. In one passage of his address, he stated that "Israeli settlement activity in the occupied territories must stop." This is a bit unclear. Did he mean a "provisional" stop, such as in a provisional Palestinian state a la Secretary of State Colin Powell? Is this a halt that is to be temporary, or part of the final resolution of the conflict? Are the...

Couric v Coulter The Fourth of July is next week, but you'd think it was happening right now if you watched The Today Show on Wednesday morning. The fireworks were flying all over the studio during an interview between Katie Couric and Ann Coulter regarding her new book Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right. What made the interview so riveting was the fact that Couric basically exemplified everything Coulter writes about in her book. It was a classic example, being played right off the pages. Of course, Couric attempted to downplay and flat out deny an example of her...
