Free Republic

The phenomenon of the Democrats “loosing their collective minds” has been a slow, agonizing process but the day this loss of sanity began can be pinpointed. Some will say it was the day the Republican Party took control of the Congress in 1994. But it truth, it began on January 20, 1993—the day William Jefferson Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd president of the United States. Democrats were jubilant. The leftists had control of all three branches of the government. Their dreams were about to come true. After eight years of Reagan and four years of Bush, thanks to...

The Sunday morning pundits preach that the terrorist attacks around the world continue because American troops remain in Iraq. These so-called “experts” claim that Iraq is a training ground for attacks in Europe and America. Have these armchair-terror-experts forgotten the 50-year Islamic training ground called Israel?

As legend has it, the Grim Reaper moves among us, unseen and unstoppable. A black hood obscures his ugly, skeletal face and no one knows he is near until his touch claims life. Only in death is his face revealed. It is troubling, after America was attacked on her own soil, that so many Americans still do not realize the danger of the insidious and relentless enemy that we face. Just as no living thing can escape death, Americans cannot escape the final showdown with Islam. It is unfortunate that so many will die because they are afraid to lift...
