Free Republic

If 5% of the people pay 90% of the taxes, and an AIG bonus is considered tax revenue that needs to be taken back, if Congress only takes 90% of it back, aren't they disenfranchising 95% of the people?

I'm very tired of the Olbermanns, the Matthews' the Blitzers, the Schumers, etc., who do not have the patriotism in them that would permit them to honestly say: "I hope that our president's war on islamic terrorism goes well, and I take no pleasure in any setbacks that our forces experience, in their fight against the scum that has dedicated their lives to the advancement of islamic-inspired barbarism over free civilization. Given a choice, I would rather see the US be successful in this war, than to see my favorite party gain ground. I'm thankful that Kalid shake Mohammad and...

http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/barbara.asp "I watch none. He [former President Bush] sits and listens and I read books, because I know perfectly well that, don't take offense, that 90 percent of what I hear on television is supposition, when we're talking about the news. And he's not, not as understanding of my pettiness about that. But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch...

I see in the news today that the CIA was hesitant to rat out Mohammadman atta to the FBI because of sensitivity to his rights. Balderdash on his rights. Political correctness and inappropriate concern for foreigners' privacy cost us 3000 innocent American lives. Only We The People of the United States are covered by the Bill of Rights. The US is not constrained to heed the rights those who are not "of the United States".

Just a website for the Dems to lick their wounds, and regroup.

Life Liberty and Property, but among these three, Property.

Ever since the publication last March of my book, The Real Lincoln, Harry Jaffa and his followers at the Claremont Institute and elsewhere have been screeching and carrying on like a colony of baboons that has just spotted a panther. Before the book was even published Richard Ferrier and David Quackenbush responded to Ilana Mercer’s advance review in WorldNetDaily by calling her article a "rant" and referring to her personally as a "comprehensively ignorant parrot" and a "small-minded naysayer." They called me a "fanatic" even though we had never met and they had not read my book. They warned their...

U.S. Supreme Court PLYLER v. DOE, 457 U.S. 202 (1982) 457 U.S. 202 PLYLER, SUPERINTENDENT, TYLER INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, ET AL. v. DOE, GUARDIAN, ET AL.

The opinion may be important in documenting why the F.B.I. was hesitant last summer to seek court authority to search the computer and other belongings of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the Sept. 11 attacks. Mr. Moussaoui was arrested in Minnesota last August, and F.B.I. officials have acknowledged that their failure to investigate him more fully was among the mistakes that allowed the Sept. 11 hijackers to operate in the United States undetected in the weeks before the attacks.

"Profiling" may be the dirty word of the decade. Like "racism," it's a key word inflamed by the civil rights victimology industry. A dynamite stick thrown around with very harmful results. Unfortunately, even President Bush got caught up in the act. In October 2000, desperate to win Michigan and show politically correct moderation, candidate Bush joined the anti-profiling bandwagon. In the second presidential debate, when asked about racial profiling in stopping and/or arresting criminal suspects, Bush denounced the practice. He cited his buddy, Arab-American Senator (now Secretary of Energy) Spencer Abraham, and spoke of his opposition to racial profiling of...

Only "Congress" is truly restricted by the 1st Amendment. It's up to the people of each State to restrict each of their State governments from establishing a religion, in their State's Constitution. Of course, if they chose not to do so and a religion gets established by say, HYPOTHETICALLY, Vermont's legislature, would it really bother the rest of us? Wouldn't they be free to do so? If not why not? What is tyrannical to some is not tyrannical to others. Now if Vermont's hypothetical religion deprived people of life liberty or property without due process of Law, then the Feds ...

Bob Barr just said on Sam and Cokie's show that the Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution, and the Constitution covers "persons", not just citizens, and "the Bill of Rights applies to all persons on our soil."
