Free Republic

On July 4, 1776, the people of the British Colonies in America declared to the British Monarch that we no longer recognize his authority over us. We declared that we are all endowed by Our Creator with certain unalienable rights among them, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. This is what we celebrate on July 4th of each year.

Tonight’s show is one you don’t want to miss. Remember all that talk of Democrat infiltration in Ohio and the debate about whether or not it was a hoax? Tonight I’ll be joined with some other bloggers and pundits from the State of Ohio, where all-so-much appears to be on the line. We’re talking about the Senate, the House, a Governor’s Mansion. All of it is in play, and I’m not so sure we’ll be on the losing end tomorrow night! Listen in from 7-9PM Eastern time, and also, get ready to call in. It’s going to be play-by-play coverage...

Mark Foley is a scumbag! Mark Foley is a scumbag! Mark Foley is a scumbag! Now that that is out of the way I will reveal how I (and a few others) discovered Jordan Edmund was one of the former house pages that participated in sexually explicit instant messages with Rep. Mark Foley. Also I will explain to you why I believe it necessary to reveal Jordan Edmund's identity. You may not agree with my decision, but I hope to explain my reasoning by the end of this story.

To Ann Coulter, for giving me courage to speak the truth!The times when a child would pick up obscenities from foul-mouthed buddies at the playground have passed. Elementary and middle school students nowadays can look no further than a typical classroom setting, and learn the obscenities from the horse’s mouth: the Language Arts teacher.

Hiram Lewis is a Republican running for Senator in West Virginia. He is facing a primary battle, and if he wins, he will be facing Senator Robert C. Byrd in the 2006 Election. Hiram Lewis served in Iraq, went to Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina, and has given up years of his life serving our nation. This is my exclusive interview with Hiram Lewis. Q: First off, Mr. Lewis, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, and thank you for your service to America on the battlefields of Iraq. My first question is a basic one. Why do...

In the tradition of our mentor the Great Ronald Wilson Reagan, we as Reagan Conservatives have a duty to bring forth the truth in order to counter the inaccuracies of the Communists, I mean Democrats. Self promoting link - I have written a thread based on the newest comments from that most human and loveable of Communists, I mean Democrats - Al Gore http://www.gribbitonline.com/2006/01/the_volunteer_idiot_speaks_out.html

The Jerusalem Post is reporting in it's Mideast section that Iran is just months away from having an atomic bomb. A claim which has been confirmed by IAEA Chairman Muhammad ElBaradai. World Tribune.com is reporting that Israel's Air-force is incapable of militarily halting Iran from completing the bomb according the the Army War College. more

The Hollywood guilty left is on the save Tookie band wagon. But let us remember who Stanley "Tookie" Williams actually is. Williams is the founder of the Crips. One of the most dangerous street gangs in America. They have "chapters" in every major and some medium sized cities in this country. And are responsible for hundreds of murders annually. Had this individual never have started this gang, these murders wouldn't have occurred. Next, he's been convicted of 3 counts of murder in the 1st degree: Warning graphic photos Victim #1 Albert Owens Victim #2 Tsai-Shai Yang Victim #3 Ye-Chin LinThis...

As glad that I am that Senator Hillary Clinton is on-board with the President's policy in Iraq, I am just as worried that the liberal junior Senator from New York will likely flip-flop in order to protect her prospects in 2008. It is no secret that she's going to run. But realizing that her liberal base has been alienated by her pro-troops/pro-war stance on the Iraq war she is likely to take a 180 degree reversal when it comes time to campaign for the White House.

During my scan of google alerts on the ACLU, I came across an article in the ChronWatch that dealt with the recent rulings by the United States Supreme Court. A thread titled "Freedom of Religion in America: Adieu!" I have decided to re-print the article today as my BlogBurst contribution to Stop The ACLU and Gribbit's Word. Freedom of Religion in America: Adieu! Written by Lee Ellis Wednesday, June 29, 2005 A few days ago, the majority of the Supreme Court ruled as if it were using the Constitution of France instead of the Constitution of the USA. The French...

The Federal Elections Commission is considering new rules which may restrict what you can, and cannot say in a political blog. Thought Police. George Orwell wrote about "Big Brother" in his novel 1984. It is amazing how insightful that book was. Here in 2005 we are starting to see the first evidence that "Big Brother" may be on his way. Those of us who are active in Stop The ACLU are just as outraged at the potential invasion of our basic Constitutional rights. The 1st Amendment is a common debate in our circle. But the ability for us to debate...

Political bloggers are under potential assault by the federal government. In an effort to comply with a federal judge's order, the FEC is looking into how to curtail online abuses of soft money contributions to political campaigns. In their effort to comply, the FEC has the potential to strip away some of our 1st Amendment rights under the United States Constitution. During the last campaign, a few misguided bloggers accepted money to endorse a candidate and trash others. These few bad apples have brought the heat of the FEC to bear on us. If you haven't done so yet, please...

Today, while searching for a link to send to my very good friend Zaphriel, I came across a piece that complimented the information that I was searching for. As I read this information, I became interested in the point being made. It is a startling admission of our unknowing defeat to the 10 Platforms of Communism as outlined by Karl Marx. I immediately wanted to spread this information but I also knew that I could not do the piece justice. So I've decided to introduced it, re-print it, and then comment on it. And hopefully spark some debate. I found...

The group of individuals in this nation that get the least amount of appreciation is Conservative Minorities. And it's this group that angers the left the most. Why? Because they have the audacity to break out of the socio-economic mold which has been cast around them. Racism isn't confined to the bigoted white conservatives. No, it is perpetuated by the left. These liberal activists go out and re-affirm the difficulties that the minority community is facing and blames it on rich white guys. If that isn't racist I don't know what is. I read a blog this morning that really...

Written for Stop The ACLU And Crossposted from there. For the past week we have been voicing our support for HR 2679, the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA) of 2005. And this is a case that would potentially be effected by it should it already be law. In San Diego, California, there has been a fight over a cross put upon Mount Soledad. Decades ago, private citizens placed the cross on that site to honor Korean War veterans. In 2004, President Bush signed legislation designating the site a 'National War Memorial'. Now, an atheist who travels the road overlooked...

American Civil Liberties Union has been shredding documents over repeated objections of its records manager and in conflict with longstanding policies on preservation, disposal of records... Developing...

Today, Newsweek magazine finally formally retracted the story that claimed that US interrogators at Guantanamo Bay flushed a copy of the Quran down a toilet. Why are they doing this? Not political pressure, they've realize what they've done. Their Bush bashing ways actually led to the killing of 17 people to this point and that number is rising. As a citizen of this country, I believe that there are operations that this government has a responsibility to engage in that the American people don't need to know about. Journalists have a responsibility to investigate the truth. But equally, a responsibility...

Many on the left do not realize what they are supporting. I know, I used to be a Dumocrat. I will tell you when I came to my senses, March 1993. Why do I remember this, it's when the alleged "New Democrat" Bill Clinton started to show his ultra liberal colors. In the May primary, I switched parties. I was 23 years old. When you are in school, you get all kinds of leftist stimuli. The schools system where I attended would promote their operating levies by telling us that one program or another was going to be cut should...

Dumocrats are trying to play hard ball in relation to the Tom Delay allegations. Yesterday, House Ethics Committee Chairman Doc Hastings offered to open a sub-committee investigation into the allegations. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stated, "What Mr. Hastings was presenting was a sham. There is no Ethics Committee functioning right now, in terms of reviewing complaints for members." The reason why there is no ethics committee functioning right now, is because Dumocrats are boycotting the committee. Chairman Hastings made the offer in hopes to entice the Dumocrats in returning. But they apparently can't accept a win as a win....

The ultimate authority in this country is the Constitution. In order to change this document, the Congress must follow a specific set of procedures. These are outlined in Article V. "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by...
