Also surreal.    The ...

A POLICE inquiry could be made into how haemophiliacs were infected with a deadly virus through contaminated blood. Members of the Haemophilia North group have asked Northumbria Police to launch a criminal investigation into how so many people came to be infected with hepatitis C. Police have asked the group to draw up preliminary documents on their case, which will be examined before a decision is made on whether to proceed with an inquiry. The move follows a three-year investigation by police in Canada, into whether doctors and health officials knew that haemophiliacs were being put at risk unnecessarily. Blood ...

Free Republic now has a "sister site" (my words) in Canada. Connie Wilkins has begun "Free Dominion," a Free Republic type board patterned after Free Republic. It may also be used as a Free Republic Contingency Room. Connie said, "I have talked to Jim Robinson several times too and he is very supportive of what we are doing."Below is the "Welcome Page for FReepers." Please check out the site at the link above.

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama. Judge Moore was recently sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom. After a lengthy appeal process the case has been dismissed and the Ten Commandments remain on display. AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL America the Beautiful, or so you used to be. Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see. Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand, Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand. Our children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine, Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has ...

A costly case of bad blood Lawyers who went to bat for hemophiliacs and people with hepatitis C are facing a new fight over their fees By Tracey Tyler Toronto Star Legal Affairs Reporter Harvey Strosberg is a top-notch lawyer who helped negotiate the biggest personal-injury settlement in Canadian history - a $1.5 billion deal for tainted-blood victims. But is he worth $2,200 an hour? That's what the federal justice department says Strosberg would collect if a court pays him his $550 hourly rate, multiplied by four - a premium to reflect the risk he took. ``It works out ...

Authors Joe Conason and Gene Lyons, straining to wipe away DNA stains from the Clinton legacy, have conjured up an imaginary rigged 1990 GOP Primary Election to promote their book, "The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton." Conspiratorial radicals sponsor anti-Clinton plots, says the book as it denounces support of a dangerous demagogue. Clinton’s abuse of women and illegal campaign contributions are excused on the theory that "everybody does it." Authors have appeared on Meet the Press, Crossfire, the Drudge Report (to mention a few) and challenged non-believers to disprove their written concept ...

CBN will broadcast a two part series beginning September 8th and continue the following day. To this day many people are unaware of the tainted blood trail that began in Arkansas where blood from prisoners was sold to the Canadian firm Connaught Laboratories, Ltd., where it was used to manufacture vials of concentrated clotting factor for use by hemophiliacs. "The bleeding of prisoners began in the 1960’s as a way for inmates and the prison system to make money (a necessity also cited by BUD HENDERSON.) In 1978, when HMA won both the medical and plasma licenses, Arkansas became the ...

Let me begin by saying I'm all for a third party. However, do not make the mistake of booting the Republicans...YET. One thing all Americans must keep in mind is just how close we are to losing ALL freedoms. Consider this one example: The socialists in the Democrat Party are pushing for gun control, thereby negating yet another Constitutionally guaranteed freedom. If the Republicans lose control of the House OR Senate, how long do you suppose it will be before all guns, pistol or rifle, shotgun or BB gun will be confiscated? I offer this for your consideration. In 1995 ...

Liberals hate democracy. While that has never been a state secret, it's becoming more and more apparent. Democracy is here defined as individual autonomy, as well as majority rule. Recently, Gray Davis (California's liberal governor) and a phalanx of judicial activists and liberal litigators held a burial service for California's Proposition 187. Next of kin were not invited. The measure, enacted in 1994 by nearly 60 percent of voters, prohibited the state from providing public services to illegal immigrants. It was an effort to control our borders and stop the hemorrhage of government spending on illegals. Click HERE for ...

Our elected representatives have passed laws implementing these anti-freedom concepts. The communists have achieved a de facto FEDERAL SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT in America. In 1848 Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote a book outlining a political ideology, titled "The Communist Manifesto". Marxism's basic theme is that the proletariat (the "exploited" working class of a capitalistic society) will suffer from alienation and will rise up against the "bourgeoisie" (the middle class) and overthrow the system of "capitalism." After a brief period of rule by "the dictatorship of the proletariat" the classless society of communism would emerge. In his Manifesto Marx described the ...
