Free Republic

In this report and on our radio show, Madeleine familiarized us all with such unfamiliar diseases as dengue fever, Marburg fever, Chagas disease and the re-introduction to our society of smallpox, polio, hepatitis, tuberculosis and leprosy, which is not common knowledge.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter said yesterday that Republicans are partly to blame for the escalating standoff over several of President Bush's judicial nominations.

There’s one statistic that never lies – migration. Numbers about economic growth, jobs, and health care can be carefully selected to give a misleading impression, but when all the plusses and minuses of a state’s (or nation’s) economic record are added up, the most telling, final statistic is migration. No matter how Americans vote with their hands this eek, the evidence is clear that they’ve been voting with their feet for the economic policies of George W. Bush and the Republican Party. It is now well known that the President is not determined by the popular vote, but by the...

Wednesday, October 20th 2004 You’re a Republican??? In today’s America, ask a growing number of high school and college students; their teachers and professors; the self-anointed media elite and/or hard working men and women of all ethnicities, the question, “What is a Republican?”, and you’ll be told “… a rich, greedy, egotistical individual, motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and more of it, at the expense of the environment … the working poor ….and all whom they exploit…” I am a Republican … I am none of those things… and I don’t know any Republicans who...

They put a lie to John Kerry's contention that the rich are not paying their fair share and should be taxed more.

What's going on? It's clear: At lower marginal tax rates, the rising economy is throwing off a lot more tax revenues. Score one for the supply-siders.

Solid Jobs, Solid GDP Larry Kudlow (archive) October 11, 2004 | Print | Send U.S. job creation continued to move ahead at a steady pace with the announcement Friday that 96,000 non-farm payrolls were added to the economy. Over the past thirteen months 1.9 million new jobs have been created. The unemployment rate stands at a historically low 5.4 percent. One hundred forty million Americans are now working, a new U.S. record. The brightest spot in the Labor Department’s September report is a 3.2 percent annual rate of increase for third quarter hours worked. This is the strongest quarterly rise...

Stocks & Polls Agree on Bush by Larry Kudlow (9/15) As George W. Bush mounts a strong comeback in the polls, stock market averages are mounting their own stealth recovery

Official statistics published last March in the Survey of Current Business showed an increase of 2.8 million jobs outsourced by American-owned multinational corporations during a quarter of a century ending in 2001. Over that same span of time, there was an increase of 4.7 million jobs outsourced to Americans by foreign-owned multinational corporations.

The poverty report gives vice-presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards a little fodder for his "Two Americas" stump speech. That's the one where he says, "(There's) one America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward. One America that pays the taxes, another America that gets the tax breaks." This is demagoguery and unadulterated dishonesty that can only appeal to the misinformed and ignorant.

Economist Bruce Bartlett has written that widespread American prosperity over the past two decades has depleted the ranks of the poor and middle class. Simply put, everyone has grown richer. The number of people at the low-end -- making less than $25,000 a year -- has dropped to 29 percent from 33 percent. The number making more than $75,000 a year has risen to 26 percent from 15 percent. The prosperous U.S. economy has silenced the class-warfare argument. It has lifted all the boats.

Now that the economy -- led by business investment -- is growing at the fastest pace in two decades, the liberal establishment may wish to rethink its position.

Let's start out by not quibbling with America's socialists' false claim that health-care service is a human right that people should have regardless of whether they can pay for it or not and that it should be free. Before we buy into this socialist agenda, we might check out just what happens when health-care services are "free." Let's look at our neighbor to the north -- Canada.

The latest budget numbers show a $19.1 billion surplus for June, $3 billion higher than the $16 billion Wall Street expectation.

by Larry Kudlow (7/10) Has the choice of John Edwards as John Kerry's running mate re-scrambled the election odds for November?

Sen. John Kerry and his fellow Democrats seem to believe that by attacking President Bush for "inadequate" job creation the Republicans will be too inept to remind the American people that it was the Clinton economic policies that gave us the recession and the job losses.

ISSUE: Once again, the United Nations is trying a power grab, at the expense of the sovereignty of the United States of America -- and this time, they want to allow international bureaucrats to TAX the American people. They MUST be stopped. According to the American Policy Center (AmericanPolicy.org), "any day now this nation could find itself part of an international treaty that abolishes freedom on seven- tenths of the world's surface." That's because the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, a treaty that has remained dead in the water since Bill Clinton's presidency, has re-emerged as a...

Evidence suggests the Vietnamese soldier had previously been wounded by a 50-caliber round. Veteran friends of mine tell me if a person is hit by a 50-caliber round, it is highly unlikely they could continue to be a threat, because of the hydro-shock associated with the impact of the round. I am assured this is true regardless of where the enemy was hit.
