Free Republic

Thanks to documents recovered in Abu Musab 'al-Zarqawi's bombed out Headquarters, 104 terrorists have been killed and hundreds more taken prisoner. Dozens of weapons caches have been captured. But of almost equal importance is the insight we gained into 'al-Qaeda's state in Iraq. The 21st century's Ho Chi Minh despaired of the state of his terror organization. He was writing that America was winning the war and he wasn't replacing his combat losses. Do you remember how Liberal "Geniuses" went on and on about how we were "creating more terrorists"? Yeah right. Zarqawi complained about how he wasn't getting any...

Today marks an important milestone in the history of freedom loving people everywhere. On this day, March 15th (the Ides of the Roman calendar) in 44BC, Marcus Brutus, Gaius Cassius, Decimus Brutus, Gaius Trebonius and nineteen other Romans took the life of the Man Who Would Be King, Gaius Iulius Caesar. I have read the accounts that many make- that the assassins acted out of personal ambition, rather than an altruisitic desire to restore Republican freedom. And in some cases among the other nineteen, I don't doubt the strong possibility. But history doesn't dispute the disinterested idealism of Marcus Brutus....

Tuesday, February 28, 2006 Let Freedom Ring! A step in the right direction today- the Supreme Court finally ruled what anyone literate who has bothered to read the Constitution knows- that the laughable lawsuit by NOW against the freedom of speech of abortion protesters is Unconstitutional. Naturally, this case should have been laughed out of court two seconds after the NOW harpies filed it, not two decades later. Nonetheless, we can take satisfaction that the just side has triumphed. And we didn't even need Samuel Alito's vote. I think to my friend, Troy Newman, today, a leader of Operation Rescue...

Tuesday, February 28, 2006 Oscar Hypocrisy It is important for Conservatives everywhere, as well as "Moderates" and Liberals who aren't completely blind, to remark upon the hypocrisy of the Academy Awards, not one year later, a glaring inconsistency. The real Best Picture of 2004, "the Passion of the Christ" was passed over for the distinction that any honest person would admit it deserved, in favor of "Million Dollar Baby," a low-budget nothing about a female boxer (ugh!). The Academy gave as their reason that they don't touch controversial films. Oh really? Naturally, the buzz is that "Brokeback Mountain," a Gay-Lobby...

Endorse Moore Back in October, I wrote a piece entitled "Return of a Hero" (on the GOP Insight Blog) about the new candidacy for Governorship of the State of Alabama by Judge Roy Moore. Judge Moore is a champion of religious freedom against the Unelected Communazi Religion Gestapo of the ACLU/Southern Bolshevik Law Center. I along with thousands of others, stood with him in August and September of 2003, when he fought for the freedom of religion of America with the Ten Commandments Monument against an unlawful and tyrannical Federal Court Order to remove it. I was also there on...

Friday, February 03, 2006 Modern Medizers I've always believed that the War on Terror is not a new thing. As it says in the Book of Ecclesiastes, "there is nothing new under the Sun." It is, in reality, a continuation of the struggle that began in Marathon in 492BC and Thermopylai in 480BC, between the Greeks and Persians. On one side you had the Greeks, free men fighting for democracy and on the other, Persia, the side of slavery and tyranny. This fight continued on through the battles of Rome versus Carthage, the Crusades, America's struggle versus Hirohito and Hitler,...

Thursday, February 02, 2006 Where I disagree with the President President Bush spoke at a Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning. He had some good things to say and I didn't catch them all. But one thing he said that I have to differ with him on is his statement about Atheists. He said that people who choose no Faith at all are just as American as those of Faith. I cannot agree. Now, don't get me wrong, an Atheist can be a patriotic American, although all too many are nothing of the kind. An Atheist can have the best of intentions...

Conservatism Is On the March! Look out Liberals! Here we come! In the Liberal Media they love to endlessly assert that Conservatism is cracking up and that the days of Liberal Democrats are about to return. Myself, I don't think so. You see, not only is there no Leftist groundswell anywhere between the Susquehanna River and twenty miles inland from the Pacific Coast (and the Dems would need to gain a lot of ground SOMEWHERE in Flyover Country to become a majority again) but it seems Liberalism is in decline all across North America and Western Europe, even in some...

Wednesday, October 19, 2005 Demagogy in History I know that many of you out there imagine that the things that Liberals do to sabotage our wars is a new phenomenon. How I wish it were, but, sadly, it is not. The Roman Republic was brought down by a Left Wing demagogue named Caesar, but this is not his story. It is the story of a one man disaster, Gaius Terentius Varro. Varro was Hannibal's contemporary and his Liberal bungling handed the Carthaginian his greatest victory that he ever won. Hannibal was a genius, the greatest general of his day and...

Marie Antoinette Watch Greetings dear readers! I have decided to insert a new serial into the Republic of Utica, the Marie Antoinette Watch. Who was Marie Antoinette? She was the Queen of France at the time of the French Revolution. She added impetus to said Upheaval with her famous gaffe. When told that the starving people of France had no bread to eat, she said, "let them eat cake." She was so divorced from the reality that she couldn't conceive that people would have NOTHING in their pantry. The Republic of Utica will crown a deserving Marie Antoinette from the...

Time to Stand Up to Feminism I never watch "Law and Order." I find most sit-coms and dramas that tv churns out to be so much garbage. There are exceptions, and I happened to have it on for its last five minutes before another program came on. One of the "men" in that show, obviously one of those eunuchs who praise every inane thing Feminists say as a great pearl of wisdom, said "women are still chattels." He got no disagreement from the nose-in-the-air Feminist lawyer, who exited the scene. And I thought, "are you serious?!?!?!?" They are really being...

It is necessary for us to turn our resources to help the President get his Judicial nominees. Many of the 44 Democratic Senators of their minority live in predominantly Republican states. Typically they run with the promise that they are more Conservative and not Radical Leftists like Ted Kennedy. The time has come for them to prove it. We must contact our Democratic Senators here in the Red States and give not a moment's peace until they commit to cloture. This is certainly the case here in Florida, with Bill Nelson. He ran as a Conservative Democrat and actually voted...

JACKSONVILLE -- Shawn Raysin sports a Confederate battle flag license plate on the front of his Chevrolet Blazer, he's positive Florida needs no more gun laws, and he's uncomfortable with the notion of letting gays adopt children. But he and his wife, Lorie, have two kids and worry the state is neglecting the public schools. They also believe Republican Gov. Jeb Bush cares too much for the rich. So unlike many of their neighbors in rural Clay County, a Republican stronghold just south of Jacksonville, the Raysins plan to vote for Democrat Bill McBride next week. "We've got to do...

For those of you living in Florida's US Congressional District #2, we have an important race going on. Allen Boyd is a longtime incumbent and we have a serious challenger, Tom McGurk. He is 27 year veteran of the US Air Force and Vietnam veteran. He won the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart. In this time of close margins in the congress, we need every seat we can get. McGurk is an underdog. But there are more Conservative voters in District 2 than there have been in times past. We need to make every...

Monday, Sept. 16, 2002 8:41 a.m. EDT Dems Fume as Al-Qaeda Cell Political Ties Revealed Democratic Party insiders are said to be furious over published reports identifying the five al-Qaeda cell members arrested over the weekend in Lackawanna, New York as registered Democrats. Sunday's Buffalo News initially revealed the inconvenient detail, noting first that "members of Lackawanna's Yemeni community describe the five arrested men as 'all-American.' "They include a telemarketer, a used car salesman and a former high school soccer star who was named friendliest in his class. Four are married, and three have children. All are registered voters —...
