Free Republic

Anyone know what happened to FREE CONSERVATIVES?

Barack Obama’s church published an opinion piece that accused Israel and South Africa of working together to develop an “ethnic bomb” to kill Blacks and Arabs. Here are the principal excerpts from the Pastor’s Page (the pastor being Jeremiah Wright), which pretty much speak for themselves. "…I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the White Supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask...

My mother, Connie Loughman, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in August 2007. As you may know (due to the media attention surrounding Patrick Swayze's diagnosis) Pancreatic Cancer has very high mortality rate since most patients are diagnosed at a late stage of the disease and there are few effective treatments. The courage and tenacity my mom has shown in this battle is more than even an adoring daughter like me could have ever hoped for. She has done all she can to fight this terrible disease but now it's my turn to show that same strength and determination and fight...

"Merrill 'Tony' McPeak said he was astonished and disappointed by recent comments Bill Clinton made while speculating about a general election between Obama's Democratic rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Republican John McCain. Standing next to Obama on stage at a campaign stop in southern Oregon, the retired Air Force chief of staff repeated Bill Clinton's comments aloud to a silent audience...McPeak also had made off-the-cuff remarks to reporters Friday in comparing the former president's comments with the actions of Joseph McCarthy, the 1950s communist-hunting senator. 'I grew up, I was going to college when Joe McCarthy was accusing good Americans...

The entire country is now aware of the hate-filled ravings of Barack Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright. Obama’s membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ is entirely consistent with the Black identity politics, if not Black nationalist politics, that he describes in Dreams From My Father. The United Church of Christ is meanwhile, as shown by the Anti-Defamation League associated with the Sabeel Ecuminical Liberation Theology Center. Not only does Sabeel question Israel’s right to exist, it is on record as referring to the establishment of Israel as the “nakba” or “catastrophe.” If this is not bad...

It is that desire to look to Christ as a way to accomplish our political goals that made Him weep as He entered Jerusalem. They looked for peace through a political savior; He knew the peace He brought was much deeper and could be had regardless of the physical conditions around them. Politics is force. Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem that day had been prophesied by Zechariah, who described Him as, “Gentle”. Let us emulate Him when we enter the realm of politics. Let us never forget that the freedom He brings transcends this world, and His peace cannot be attained...

US: Hizbolla - yes, Wilders - no: “Fitna fatigue or not, when you see something like this, how can you not blog? Network Solutions, a US company, is the host for hizbolla.org (English version here) - view whois. Until a couple of days ago they also hosted a mostly empty page for Dutch politician and movie maker hopeful Geert Wilders, announcing his upcoming movie will be out soon.’ However, now the site is down, while Network Solutions investigates whether this blank page is in violation of acceptable policy.’ Maybe you must be a registered terror group in order to host...

It's Easter Sunday and the DUmmies are worshipping their messiah: Barack Obama. I kid you not. Normally atheists, agnostics, or Gaia worshippers, the DUmmies have suddently become devout Bible believers as you can see in this THREAD reverently titled, "Obama: The Biblical Prophecy." Or at least they PRETEND to be devout believers but only because they think they can fool people into worshipping/electing the ONE. However, before we begin our Obama bible study, let us now get ourselves in the proper reverent mood with this Charles Henrickson song called "I Don't Know Why I Love Him" from the musical...

California State Assembly Member Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles), introduced a bill aimed at skirting the Constitutional right to bear arms. Assembly Bill 2062 would require that gun owners obtain a permit to buy ammunition. Applicants for a “permit-to-purchase” would be required to submit to a background check, pay a $35/bullet fee, and wait 30 days to receive the permit. “The Constitution may say the people have the right to bear arms, but it doesn’t say the arms have to be loaded,” De Leon said, touting his own “stroke of genius.” “We will make guns into useless paperweights and put...

Anybody paying attention to current automotive events perhaps knows that Indian auto manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra plans to enter the U.S. automotive market shortly. And maybe some rather astute readers know that Mahindra and Mahindra got their start building Jeeps under license. But how many people have actually seen a Mahindra and Mahindra Jeep? That’s why Michael Cook wrote up the following driveReport for SIA #170, March-April 1999, giving us not only some insight to the Mahindra story, but also a taste of how such a Jeep drives...

The Easter Bunny Hates You.

After years of delays, Ayn Rand's famous novel "Atlas Shrugged" is being made into a feature film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, according to media reports. Lionsgate Films bought the rights to the film version of the 1957 novel, considered in many polls to be one of the most influential books in history.

Those planning on attending the Olympics have been warned that the Chinese government will be keeping close tabs on them while they’re in the country. The U.S. State Department advised that “All visitors should be aware that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public or private locations. Visitors should anticipate that they will be watched, taped and recorded wherever they go.” “We must guard against slander and immorality,” said Chinese Minister of Morality, Lo Wang. “Those who would speak ill of the Chinese government or attempt a ‘Spitzer’ in one of our hotels will be dealt with harshly.”...

I've heard Reverend Wright went to Africa. I found it interesting that there was a big event going on in Uganda over the past week: the Gaddafi National Mosque opened and quite a few tyrants attended the event. There was also an Afro/Arab youth summit taking place at the mosque that gathered over 6,000 delegates from middle eastern nations. Gaddafi gave a few crazy speeches while he was there. I wonder if Wright attended?? Here are a few links describing what went on in Uganda: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7305641.stm http://allafrica.com/stories/200803210005.html http://en.ljbc.net/online/news_details.php?id=2863

Italy's most prominent Muslim commentator is converting to Catholicism by being baptized by the pope at an Easter vigil, the Vatican announced Saturday. Magdi Allam is the deputy editor of the Corriere della Sera newspaper and writes often on Muslim and Arab affairs. Born in Egypt, he has described himself as a non-practicing Muslim. He has long spoken out against extremism and in favor of tolerance.

(In December 2000, shortly after the U.S. Supreme court ruled that Al Gore couldn't overturn the election via an endless series of pointless recounts, he finally resigned himself to being a political loser. Since Gore's sole goal almost all his life was to become president, he needed to find a way to relieve his depressing angst. As a result, Gore found an outlet: writing movie reviews. This review was a first in a series of such reviews which lasted from the end of 2000 until nearly three years later. His reviews appeared in the now defunct Laissez Faire City...
