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...

It should be obvious to even the most unobservant among us that the choreographed reaction to the Danish editorial cartoons has been a very methodical and well-thought-out plan by intellectual Islamic leaders. The worldwide “outrage” expressed by Muslims was not spontaneous. Had the rage been expressed over five months ago, when the editorials were first published, an argument could have been made that the anger was genuine. Instead, the indignation has evolved into a policy-changing event that has exposed a higher level of Islam: The world government of Islam. Some of the leaders within Islam have stepped out from behind...

Let’s Roll! By Judson Cox A few months ago, I announced plans to start a conservative, state wide newspaper in my home state of North Carolina. The outpouring of support was overwhelming. The North Carolina Conservative is now a reality! First of all, we would like to thank our contributors: Charlie Daniels, Dr. Fred Decker, John Plecnik, Rep. John Rhodes, Sen. Fern Shubert, Jason Lewis, Mark Ruscoe, John Armor, Chris Adamo, Al Klemm, Megan Fox, Linda Fryer, Lilly Nelson, Karen Pittman, Lee Ellis, Robert Parks, Frank Salvato, Nancy Salvato, Barbara Stock, Dave Swanson, Resa Kirkland, Mike Nevin, Howard Nemerov, Angela...

I suggest to my readers that each day they seek out an Islamic website and read at least one article that is posted there. I have been asked by friends, “Where do you find this drivel?” Well, I actively seek out this “drivel.” It is the only way to know what is going on in the minds of two main branches of Islam. The first branch, made up of elite Muslims, is the one feeding the fertilizer it passes off as truth to the second branch, the Muslim masses. One Islamic blog just recently posted an article about how evil...

How many times during these last weeks have Americans heard the words, ''If President Bush had just not lost sight of Bin Laden and not let him escape from Tora Bora, this war on terror would be over.'' What a foolish and ignorant statement. When Adolf Hitler put a bullet in his head, the war in Europe was officially over. That war had been lost by Germany the day the coalition of the willing got a foothold on the beaches of Normandy, but Hitler just didn’t realize it. Ask yourself this question: Did the Nazi ideology die with Hitler? Of...

It has come down to trolling for gossip and innuendo for the Democrats and John Kerry. What else do they have? The Democrats have found themselves stuck with a candidate who not only stands on both sides of any issue but he has invented an octagon of political policy. Kerry seems too have taken Bill Clinton’s political ''triangulation'' strategy and multiplied it a few too many times. One can’t blame the Democrats for being a little frantic at this point in time. It’s tough when your candidate is a flip-flopper with the personality of a cadaver. Oh, how the Democrats...

Out on the campaign trail, John Kerry has stated that if he were elected president, he would fight a more ''thoughtful and sensitive war'' against the terrorists. After the shock of the ignorance of this statement passed, laughter followed. A lot of laughter followed. Perhaps some background is in order. First, who is the enemy? Many seem to be working under the misguided impression that if one man named Osama bin Laden is hunted down and killed, this war will be over. After all, when Hitler put a bullet in his brain, the war in Europe ended. Would it not...

Leftists in America never seem to learn from their past mistakes. Of course, they don’t see aiding and abetting the enemy as a “mistake.” They see their mistakes as great victories. The fact that in the case of Viet Nam leftists gave strength and hope to an enemy ready to admit defeat, seems to have no effect on them. They are oblivious to this. We will never know how many American soldiers died in the rice patties and jungles of Viet Nam because of the liberals’ obvious support for the enemy. Perhaps, in their twisted minds, liberals saw those soldiers...

Amercians were angry after the atrocities that were carried out by terrorists on September 11, 2001. Americans wants those responsible to be hunted down and punished. But that was nearly three years ago. How quickly Americans forget. Today, the dean of the Iraqi Law School and her husband were murdered. She was shot and her husband’s throat was slit in their own home. A car bomb went off in Baghdad and a three-year-old girl was killed along with two other innocent people. Kim Sun-il, a South Korean translator who publicly pleaded for his life, was beheaded. Are you angry yet?...

Anyone who is a ''Godzilla'' fan knows how the huge reptile, bent on destroying Tokyo, was destroyed in his film debut. A Japanese scientist had developed a bomb that would suck all the oxygen out of the water and everything in it, and thus, killing every living thing. This scientist called his bomb ''The Oxygen Destroyer.'' American politics has a similar weapon. It’s called Bill Clinton. Just ask John Kerry how lethal this weapon can be. William Jefferson Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, is the secret weapon of the Republicans. The truly wonderful thing is that it...

Can my generation ever repay the sacrifices made by our parents and grandparents? Yes, and no. We baby-boomers can never completely understand the suffering our grandparents and parents endured during the Great Depression. Trying to feed their families anyway they could, men would sweep the streets and clean toilets. They would do anything they had to do to buy milk or bread for their children. Yet, through these troubled times, the crime rate was low, dispelling the notion that poverty is the cause of crime. Never had so many Americans felt poverty like that experienced in the years leading up...

Editor's Note:  Barbara Stock's column on ChronWatch last week about the killing of Nick Berg garnered more than 18,000 hits (readers), and many readers from around the world sent comments to her.  Barbara engaged in discussion with some of them, and tells about it in today's column.        My column last week--“My Rage Over the Nick Berg Killing--An apology to the Pigs of the World”-- set off quite a firestorm of differing opinions about the war on terror.  At times there was hope, but most of the responses from Muslims around the world left me feeling there is little hope...
