  • Sean Penn defends Hugo Chávez

    The Venezuelan leader, Hugo Chávez, has not had things all his own way recently, but at least he has famous friends. Falling oil prices and some significant losses in recent elections may have delivered blows to Hugo Chávez's self-styled socialist revolution, but he can still count on the support of Sean Penn.
  • Pledge of Allegiance Ruling BACKLASH!

    06/27/2002 3:15:09 PM PDT · by B.R. Burton · 15 replies · 195+ views
    I'm loving this backlash against the Courts on their ruling on the Pledge of Allegiance. Even some liberals, like John Kerry and Robert Byrd, have to go with the flow. John Kerry called it "the most absurd thing I ever heard of", and Robert Byrd called for the house to pray to the Almighty, the most Supreme Judge in the Universe. IF CONSERVATIVES ARE SMART, THEY WILL SEIZE ON THIS LIKE A PIT-BULL, and MAGNIFY THE BACKLASH AGAINST THE LIBERAL-JUDICIAL ACTIVISM OF THE COURTS. If we followed the line of reasoning in this ruling, then the Declaration of Independence would...
  • Profile in Bias: Katie Couric

    06/26/2002 8:00:18 PM PDT · by B.R. Burton · 9 replies · 410+ views
    Is Katie Couric really the biased liberal that conservatives think she is? Well, let's review: - Media Bias Complaint by Congressman Robert Ehrlich - Media Bias by Jonah Goldberg - A gun rights advocate article notes Couric in her interview with Heston here. - Hate Campaign Over Hate Crimes - Blacks Protest Media Bias Against Cuban-Americans - Katie's Crusades - The leftist media Perhaps the worst is where Katie Couric Alludes to Christian Conservatives in the Death of James Bird and Matthew Shepard (IN VIDEO:Click here) : "Let’s talk a little bit more about the right wing because I know...
  • Palestinian Hate Indoctrination (Photos)

    06/25/2002 4:44:23 PM PDT · by B.R. Burton · 14 replies · 342+ views
    Most here at FreeRepublic are smart enough to know of the indoctrination of hate going on in the Palestinian society. What a contradiction it is to see a little boy engage and identify with elements of war, a diametrically opposed concept to the innocence of childhood. Unless taught, children know no hate, skin color, or political interests. Powerfully reminiscient of the Palestinian who raised his hands, covered in blood, from a window, near the beginning of the violence in the Mideast, a little girl with red paint on her hands raises them in like manner. See for yourself the reality...

    Here are some excepts of a message, I wrote to a friend in Israel (edited): The US need not restrain Israel anymore. Unleash the fury upon terror. Build the wall, expell all Palestinians from Jewish controlled lands, and disengage from them. I believe the IDF needs to [make Arafat disappear], and install an agreeable peace partner - Truth Propaganda would then be open, and flood the Palestinians to change their deluded minds, and hope to free their souls from the slavery of hate and fanaticism - it seems this would be the only way. Of course, this is pure idealism...
  • What Bush Should Say On Mid-East Process

    06/19/2002 3:56:23 PM PDT · by B.R. Burton · 3 replies · 82+ views
    I was sitting here, modelling a 3d fantasy creature in Lightwave, and thought of the PERFECT thing that Bush should say regarding the crisis in the Middle East. As you know, Bush is supposed to give a speech soon, endorsing a Palestinian State, and his plan on the mid-east. This cannot be done without significant punishment for the PA and terror groups, since anything else would be capitulating to terrorism, and legitimizing its tactics. However, there is a solution: Bush should indeed come out, and endorse a Palestinian State, one that Sharon would be happy with, as even Sharon has...

    Oh how lovely it is to see a moron be proved wrong. Here are some statements made by Marxist.org, commenting on the war in Afghanistan, when it had begun: "However they may try to disguise it, this war is not about “justice” or “fighting terrorism”. The aim is to terrorise the peoples of the former colonial countries, to bully them into submitting to the will of the rich and powerful - Reality: Afghanistan has been freed from the tyranny of the Taliban, and now has a new representative government. While not perfect, certainly on the right track. - They have...

    I love Fox News alot, they have done so much to change the media culture and impact CNN and MSNBC, etc. However, does anyone agree with me that they are overdoing it a little on the Fox News Alerts? Every minute there is a drum beat, and "Fox News Alert" splashes across the screen. Sometimes its justified, but other times, I think it could be a little less dramatic, when something of minor importance pops up. Fox News still rocks though. Ben

    BRITISH marines returning from an operation deep in the Afghan mountains spoke last night of an alarming new threat - being propositioned by swarms of gay local farmers. An Arbroath marine, James Fletcher, said: "They were more terrifying than the al-Qaeda. One bloke who had painted toenails was offering to paint ours. They go about hand in hand, mincing around the village." While the marines failed to find any al-Qaeda during the seven-day Operation Condor, they were propositioned by dozens of men in villages the troops were ordered to search. "We were pretty shocked," Marine Fletcher said. "We discovered from...

    Fellow Conservatives, I'm somewhat new to politics, about from right before President Bush was elected. So I don't know a whole lot about political issues from the past. Political theory, yes. But about events like Iran-Contra, Grenada, et al, I know zip. Anyway, the first time I heard Negroponte's name was when this ultra-liberal College Professor say that he was a terrorist. Anything this lady said, I took with a grain of salt, because she teaches a college course called, "The Sexuality of Terrorism" So, I did a little searching, and I see alot of left-wing sites hating him, for...
  • ABC's Moran Smears Dick Armey

    05/03/2002 7:11:53 PM PDT · by B.R. Burton · 21 replies · 409+ views
    Dick Armey [was] smeared by ABC’s Terry Moran, who claimed at the White House briefing on Thursday that the House Majority Leader had called for the West Bank to be “ethnically cleansed” of Palestinians. When White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer questioned Moran’s characterization, Moran shot back: “That’s the way Milosevic said it, he never said ethnic cleansing either.” On Wednesday’s Hardball on MSNBC Armey had simply suggested that “there are many Arab nations that have many hundreds of thousands of acres of land and soil and property and opportunity to create a Palestinian state." He soon elaborated: “I am...

    I just wrote a thread titled, "Yasser Terrorfat Must Die" and listed some reasons why I think Israel should take him out. The thread got ripped down quick, and rightfully so. I should not have titled it such. The title was inflammatory, and even sounded like a terrorist call for someone to kill Arafat. I didn't mean it in that way at all, and feel bad for writing it that way. I apologize. I even deleted the thread I wrote on my own forum. I think Yasser Arafat should be taken out BY THE ISRAELI GOV'T, under legal means, either...

    I just watched MSNBC's "Holy War, Holy Land" - and I must say, I was disgusted at its bias on the Israeli/Arab history. Now, I may be inaccurate in some areas in my critique of it, but this was my feeling on it. It called Israel's response in the past as "hardline", dubbed Benjamin Netanyahu "right-wing, hardline" but did not dub Barak as "liberal, left-wing". When Sharon visits the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, it was a "volatile" visit, but what about the Arab response?! Wasn't that "volatile"? It did acknowledge that Arafat was viewed in the West as a "terrorist"...
