    This website touts how it "Welcomes Diversity," but lookie who they exlude: For health, safety and conservation concerns, Ocean Haven is unable to accommodate smokers...no pets...No Hummers, No RVs, No Bush Voters (due to his environmental destructive policies.) HAHAHAHA! Gotta love the Left's definition of "diversity": we believe in diversity as long as you act, think and feel exactly as we do.

    WICHITA, Kan. — From the day the news broke of BTK's existence more than 30 years ago, the media have played a key role in the investigation. Journalists passed on communications from the serial killer to authorities, often honoring police requests to suppress information. They served as a mouthpiece for BTK. Now that a suspect has been charged, some of those journalists are examining the choices they made. "I have regrets for holding things back," said Hurst Laviana, a staff writer at the Wichita Eagle. His story about the anniversary of the killings has been credited with BTK resurfacing after...

    VANCOUVER, British Columbia Christopher Key knows exactly what he would be giving up if he left Bellingham, Washington. "It's the sort of place Norman Rockwell would paint, where everyone watches out for everyone else and we have block parties every year," said Key, a 56-year-old Vietnam War veteran and former magazine editor who lists Francis Scott Key, who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner," among his ancestors. But leave it he intends to do, and as soon as he can. His house is on the market, and he is busily seeking work across the border in Canada. For him, the re-election of...

    A Presbyterian minister collapsed and died in mid-sentence of a sermon after saying "And when I go to heaven ...," his colleague said Monday. The Rev. Jack Arnold, 69, was nearing the end of his sermon Sunday at Covenant Presbyterian Church in this Orlando suburb when he grabbed the podium before falling to the floor, said the Rev. Michael S. Beates, associate pastor at Covenant Presbyterian. Before collapsing, Arnold quoted the 18th century Bible scholar, John Wesley, who said, "Until my work on this earth is done, I am immortal. But when my work for Christ is done ... I...
  • Help with Stories about our Heroes (VANITY)

    I am a high school teacher, and given our kid's propensity to be swayed by idiot actors, performers, and sports figures, I decided to give them a weekly lesson in who heroes REALLY are - our fighting men and women. I've found a few good stories (those that aren't in MSM), and have seen others on Freep (and elswhere), but cannot find them. I've done multiple searches on Freep, but have been fruitless. I am not going to make it an entire class period lesson, just a few minutes at the beginning of class at the end of the week,...
  • VANITY - Dutch Imam telling followers to go to Iraq?

    I need a link--did a Freep search multiple times, but can't find the article about a Dutch (I think) imam who called on his followers to go to Iraq to fight. Need any instance of this, as it kind of, oh, I dunno, PROVES that Iraq is central to the war on Terror--it's flushing out the guys who need a place to fight. Any help would be great!
  • Birth Rate for Young Teens Lowest Since 1946

    ATLANTA (Reuters) - The birth rate among adolescent and young teen girls in the United States fell sharply in the 1990s, hitting a 58-year-low in 2002, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (news - web sites) reported on Monday. CDC researchers said the drop in births among girls aged 10 to 14 might be a sign that programs emphasizing abstinence and other forms of birth control were having an impact on this high-risk group. They noted that the downward trend in births occurred despite a rise in the number of girls in this age group. "A number of surveys...
  • VANITY - The "Mandate" and "the Issues."

    11/05/2004 12:06:34 PM PST · by jcb8199 · 2 replies · 175+ views
    Democrats are up in arms this week, trying to figure out how, after the largest effort in recent memory to defeat a political opponent, they could have failed so handily. Two items that keep getting discussed are the mandate they refuse to admit exists, and "the issues." The Mandate is obvious. As has been posted on Freep several times, Bush had at least 40% of the vote in all but 4 states. He won by 3.5 million votes, spread over 2.51 million square miles. Not only that, Republicans gained seats in Senate, bringing their majority to 55, and gained seats...

    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Some see U.S. presidential challenger Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) as an articulate war hero with credentials to lead a superpower, others are grateful President Bush (news - web sites) toppled Saddam Hussein (news - web sites). But even if Iraqis could vote in the U.S. presidential elections, few believe either man will save their country from daily carnage. "Bush should just retire. He has given me nothing but headaches. He removed Saddam and gave us many other big problems. America needs a new leader," said Abbas Muhammad. "Now Iraq (news - web sites) has...

    I realize that this is a vanity, but looking over headlines, 124 REGISTRATIONS FAKED FOR CRACK'Mary Poppins' Registers to Vote in Ohio I can't help but smile at the naiveté, even stupidité, of the Left. The recent Demo Memo about countering voter fraud before it happens, their massive mobilization to "prevent" GWB from "stealing" the election "again," and so on. These actions will only serve to call attention to THEIR OWN MISDEEDS! In their snarling fury to take this election, they don't realize that by calling increased attention to the election and allegations of fraud, more attention will be paid,...
  • Edwards: Iraq War Created Terror Haven

    WINDHAM, N.H. - Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards on Tuesday accused President Bush of failing the United States and the world in Iraq citing unsecured nuclear weapons abroad and unprotected ports at home as further evidence of the president's "incompetence." "He's created something that didn't exist before the war in Iraq — he's created a haven for terrorists," Edwards said. Contending that Bush gave in to chemical industry lobbyists by not requiring greater security against terrorist attacks at the nation's chemical plants, Edwards said Bush has not secured "loose" nuclear weapons in other countries and has failed to protect...

    My wife made a great point last night (she being an apolitical person when first we met, who is now pulling 110% for GWB thanks to me...): It isn't us, the Decideds, who are going to decide this election. Right or Left, we KNOW who we are voting for, and have since September 2001. The depressing fact is that it is the apathetic, the Noncommittals, who are going to determine this election. And, like it or not, they are largely ignorant, else they wouldn't be Undecided. This is why this election is SO important--it is a battle of the Ideologies....
  • Canada deals blow to cheap US drug imports

    More than 30 Canadian internet pharmacies have decided not to accept bulk orders of prescription drugs from US states and municipalities. The move delivers a potentially serious setback to US politicians most notably Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry campaigning to give Americans easier access to cheap drugs from Canada. Mr Kerry has argued that opening the US to Canadian imports could help lower the costs of prescription drugs for elderly Americans. Such reimportation has become one of the points of difference between him and President George W. Bush during the election campaign. But growing concern in Canada that growing exports...

  • THE Question for Kerry - MUST MAKE THE ROUNDS

    1. You asked, in 1973, "How do you ask a man to be the last to die for a mistake?" The same question can be posed to you, Mr. Kerry. You have repeatedly called the war in Iraq a "mistake," and "the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time." So how, as Commander-in-Chief could you have ANY credibility with our troops, boost morale AT ALL, if you are asking them to fight and die for what their President has termed a "mistake"? 2. You say you will bring "allies to the table." What allies, specifically? France and...
