  • My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

    As we go into the summer battle over immigration, I hope that the House will take on the mantle of cowboys and fight this out with the Senate. Washington disdains the "cowboy" image of President Bush and he apologized for his "cowboy" remarks (why in the world, I don't know). He needs to be reminded of how middle-America views the cowboy and that the "cowboy" attitude is exactly what made him loved by his supporters. We need that "cowboy" back and we need our House Representatives to put on their cowboy hats. This is for the House, President Bush and...

    Each of us has ideas on what should be done on the immigration problem and the government is having problems working out such a complex issue. So - why not use the abilities of the FreeRepublic community as a "think tank" to resolve some of the problems faced in Immigration Reform? OhioWfan had a great thread earlier, The First Entirely Positive - "How Do We Help Solve the Illegal Immigration Problem?" Thread in which many varied ideas were presented. We need these ideas and others grouped together where the pros and cons can be discussed, and solutions will work themselves...

    TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Jeb Bush asked a prosecutor Friday to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, calling into question a gap in time from when her husband found the woman and called 911. In a letter he faxed to Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, Bush said Michael Schiavo testified in a 1992 medical malpractice trial that he found his wife collapsed at 5 a.m. and he said in a 2003 television interview that he found her at about 4:30 a.m. He called 911 at about 5:40 a.m. "Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was...

    Soldier's Letter to Kerry Dear Senator Kerry: Since it has become clear that you will probably be the Democratic nominee for President, I have spent a great deal of time researching your war record and your record as a professional politician. The reason is simple, you aspire to be the Commander in Chief who would lead my sons and their fellow soldiers in time of war. I simply wanted to know if you possess the necessary qualifications to be trusted in that respect. You see, I belong to a family of proud U.S. veterans. I was a Captain in the...

    What an onslaught of personal, harshly negative invective being spewing forth daily from the Left and their comrades in the elitist media! It’s been non-stop, at a near-dizzying pace on any issue they think will gain traction. And all of this from the very same hypocrites who so vehemently – and falsely – charge Republicans with being mean-spirited and evil. It shouldn’t come as any surprise, because the Left knows no decency and has no shame. What is amazing is the relentless and desperate nature of the attacks. From the economy (read: Clinton’s recession, which began in October) to ...

Click here for more information and to sign: PETITION TO SUPPORT THE "TEN COMMANDMENTS PROTECTION ACT" "Ten Commandments Project" is conducting this petition drive because the ACLU is using the courts to strip the Ten Commandments from our cities and towns.

    Eco-logic ^ | September 5, 2001 | Michael Coffman, Ph.D.
    Unconstitutional origins of the Endangered Species Act To most American citizens the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and many other environmental laws are a noble effort to save species from extinction, and to protect the environment from reckless destruction by man. The human tragedy caused by the ESA and other environmental laws is rarely reported, hence most Americans also do not realize that hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens, primarily in rural areas, are needlessly being stripped of their livelihoods and decimated economically by these laws as our government uses them to nationalize their property. The Endangered Species Act of ...

    Orick CA: The Rural Cleansing of America (Joining The Ranks With Klamath Falls) Donald C. Amador - Blue Ribbon Coalition ORICK, CA. July 1, 2001 -- "It isn't about threatened and endangered species. It isn't about water for the fish. It's about control," Helen Franklin told a crowd of patriotic Americans gathered in protest of the National Park Service during an Independence Day rally in Orick, California. "Whoever controls food production and water usage in this country will control the people." Franklin, founder of United Coalitions for a Constitutional Government, added, "What has happened in Orick is not an isolated ...
  • Lawsuit: Environmentalists Conspired to Take Water Away

    A Tulelake woman has filed a lawsuit against environmental and fishery groups, claiming they conspired to take water away from farmers on the Klamath Reclamation Project. Lawyers filed the suit Wednesday in Siskiyou County Superior Court for Georgette Kirby, “and on behalf of all persons similarly situated,” in the Klamath Irrigation District who reside in California. The suit claims water was shut off last April as a result of a conspiracy to devalue farmland by having irrigation water supplies cut off. “The restraining order was issued as a result of a conspiracy of and by the defendants,” including the Pacific ...

    Environmentalists Sue to Protect Bald Eagles' Water By Bruce OlsonEUGENE, Ore. (Reuters) - A bitter battle for water in the parched U.S. Northwest is heating up again after environmentalists sued to stop federal government irrigation of farmland with water they say was earmarked for a bald eagle habitat.An Interior Department decision to release water to angry farmers last month could devastate a southern Oregon wetland that supports hundreds of migrating bald eagles, say the green groups who filed the suit in federal court on Tuesday.``The fuse is pretty short,'' Wendell Wood, field representative for the Oregon Natural Resources Council, said ...

    When columnist Robert Kuttner writes on politics and economics, I pay attention. Kuttner, a liberal, acknowledges that the vaunted Invisible Hand can indeed produce a booming economy, but he is quick to point out it is no guarantee of a humane and just community. But even the most sensible of men can be wrong, which is exactly what Bob Kuttner was, recently, when he wrote about the language of abortion: "All of us can be described as pro-life. Most Americans don't like abortion but don't consider it as murder ..." That's just not right. In fact, it's dead wrong. In ...

    WHEN the check arrived, I cautiously opened the envelope, as one might do if he feared it was an explosive device. I'm not used to getting a check from the government. Mostly I send checks to the government. The check has lots of numbers on it in addition to the dollar amount. There's an attractive drawing of the Statue of Liberty. Next to my Social Security number are the words, "tax relief.'' I love one of those words, the "relief'' one. Relief implies I have been under a burden and the government, which put it there, is now lifting a ...

    LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney John Ashcroft (news - web sites) said on Monday that he would halt efforts by immigration officials to deport an HIV (news - web sites)-infected 4-year-old Thai boy who was brought to the United States as a pawn of smugglers. Ashcroft said at a Los Angeles press conference he would grant Phanupong Khaisri -- the boy nicknamed ``Got'' who spent much of the last year at the center of an Elian Gonzalez-like international tug-of-war -- a special ``humanitarian parole'' to remain in the United States. The attorney general said he would also order the ...
