  • John Roberts: A Supreme Property Rights Disaster In The MakingMore Kelo on the SCOTUS horizon?...

    A Supreme Property Rights Disaster In The Making More Kelo on the SCOTUS horizon?... [James S. Burling] 8/15/05 After a term marked by the Supreme Court’s utter contempt for property rights, those of us who happen to think there is something special about allowing old widows to keep their homes were not prepared for an even more bitter defeat. Yet, that is what President Bush handed us with the nomination of John Roberts. The battle over property rights is not a conservative versus liberal thing. It’s more a struggle between those who believe in the power of the state to...
  • Was the Narcissistic Joe Wilson a Source in "Outing" His Own Wife Valerie Plame as a "CIA Agent"?

    07/19/2005 10:04:42 PM PDT · by FReethesheeples · 115 replies · 2,064+ views
    Could minor Ambassador Joe Wilson himself have been the source in blowing his own Wife's cover? It is distinctly possible, (though it may be unlikely that Joe Wilson himself directly was NY Times Judith Miller's source), since Joe Wilson himself evidently routinely bragged openly to strangers about her CIA employment, prior to such "cover" being "blown" in the press. Here's an example of Joe's apparently routine and open bragging about Valerie being a "CIA agent," which became known directly to me over a year ago: He certainly bragged about it per a famous and highly reliable source's (named below) account...

    Could minor Ambassador Joe Wilson himself have been the source in blowing his own Wife's "cover" (even if she had not been a covert CIA agent at the time of the alleged "leaks")?

  • Is Alberto Gonzales Weak on Private Property Rights? YES!!!

    The link for finding Gonzales outspoken criticisms of fellow Judges Rogers Brown and Priscilla Owen is: http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=1726 Gonzales is WEAK on PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. two examples: 1) While he was WH Counsel, the WH sided with the City of New London on the Kelo case, or refused to join on Kelo's side in an amicus brief. Secondly, a quick search found this case where Gonzalies joned the majority in SHARPLY opposing Janet Rogers Brown's dissent (they were both on the Texas Supreme Court at the time) (Source: People for te American Way, via Google search): FM Properties Operating Co. v....
  • Sen. Edwards, the Breck Girl, BLUSHED! VP Cheney: "Senator, I never met you until tonight."

    Televised VP Debate ^ | 10/05/04 | FReetheSheeples
    Edwards visibly BLUSHED for about five minutes after VP Dcik Cheney challenged him by saying (apporoximately): "I don't think the Senaotr has a very distinguished record... You (Edwards) missed 33 of 36 votes in one (Intelligence?) committee/ votes and 70% of the sessions of another (Armed Services?) committee/ substantive votes.... Your home town newspaper calls you "Senator Gone." As Vice President I serve as President of the Senate. In that capacity I attend most Tuesdays when the Senate is is session. Until tonight on this stage, I've never met you." Sen. Edwards BLUSHED visbly (Check the tapes!) and this marked...

    February 27, 2004, 9:20 a.m. No Boy Scouts The ACLU defends NAMBLA by Deroy Murdock (1,287 words) NEW YORK - An old friend of mine once said this about the American Civil Liberties Union: "They're a bunch of whale-saving, criminal-loving pinkos - and thank God for them." This remark nicely summarizes the ambivalence with which many people regard the ACLU. Few organizations dance closer to the very edge of the loony-Left precipice than it does. There seems to be no thug too hardened nor any cause too exotic for the ACLU to champion. At the same time, if America ever...

If you're a U.S. senator, you cannot. According to a recent analysis of the World's Greatest Deliberative Body, the Massachusetts Democrat was the "No. 1 Senate liberal in 2003." As the archest of the Senate's arch-liberals, Kerry voted last year to the left of fellow Democrats John Edwards of North Carolina (No. 2), Barbara Boxer of California (No. 5) and Tom Harkin of Iowa (No. 10). Kerry's ayes and...

    The Independent Institute ^ | 12/24/01 | Paul Craig Roberts
    A CHRISTMAS REFLECTION Christmas, a holiday rooted in both Christianity and pre-Christian celebrations of the winter solstice, is also an appropriate time to reflect upon the secular values that have helped Western civilization over the course of two tumultuous millennia. Among these values: freedom of conscience, peace on Earth, and goodwill toward men. These values transcend any particular religion; they are in fact articulated in varying degrees by most of the world's religions. Yet they have found their fullest expression in the West. Why? Because in Western culture more than in any other, the individual counts. "This empowerment of the ...

    Key Issue: Trade and Foreign Aid | National Security | Stop Subsidizing Terrorism by Brett D. Schaefer No. 1485 October 4, 2001 The portion of America's foreign assistance that is designated as security assistance is already supporting the nation's war on terrorism by strengthening U.S. allies. This is particularly true for security assistance to friendly governments in regions like Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa that have been hotbeds for terrorist activity. By law, America may not provide development assistance to the seven states identified by the U.S. Department of State as sponsors of terrorism: Cuba, Iran, Iraq, ...

    The Muslim Voice 9/8/01 Muslims, I am told, believe they have a natural affinity with religiously active Catholics, from a concern for traditional values and the defense of the family to the positive role that religion can play in public life. G o down the list of pertinent issues on marriage, family values, and the defense of life — 78 percent of Muslims are pro-life — and you begin to wonder with all they have in common with other religious conservatives, including Catholics and evangelicals, why the Muslim viewpoint gets so little attention. At a recent briefing at the ...

    Who did it? Foreign Report presents an alternative view Israel’s military intelligence service, Aman, suspects that Iraq is the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the New York Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington. Directing the mission, Aman officers believe, were two of the world’s foremost terrorist masterminds: the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, head of the special overseas operations for Hizbullah, and the Egyptian Dr Ayman Al Zawahiri, senior member of Al-Qaeda and possible successor of the ailing Osama Bin Laden. The two men have not been seen for some time. Mughniyeh is probably the world’s most wanted outlaw. ...

  • A Worst Case Scenario: Could Russia have been Partly Behind the WTC-Penatgon Attacks

    Drudge Report; Self ^ | 9/16/01 | FReethesheeples
    Using "Scenario Analysis", It is POSSIBLE, but hopefully not LIKELY, that Russia could have been active or complicit itself in the attacks. The scenario goes like this: Putin is certainly correctly WARY of the Southern CIS former Republics which are Moslem, as well as of Chechnya, which cased him untold grief. Moreover, Afghansitan was the USSR's "VietNam" and Putin is well-advised to want to avoid a SECOND catastrophic quagmire there, with Russia as the USSR, having been eventually terribly humiliated there previously. However, Putin, himself a former top KGB Officer, and capable of complex strategic plots (the Russians are the ...
