Free Republic

When the election rolls around in November, a large, traditionally Democratic constituency will be missing. Many would expect this constituency to come out in droves to support Barack Obama, but this group of men will not cast their ballot for the African-American presumptive Democratic presidential candidate. These men will be noticeably absent from the polls, not because of apathy or anger or any of the other traditional voting deterrents; these men will remain away from the voting booths because they are legally prohibited due to felon disenfranchisement laws. Felon disenfranchisement laws have resulted in the loss of the right to...

Well, here we go again: one more reason to take the "L" word in vain. This time liberals got themselves into a huge political bind over the production of a proposed 30-second television spot against President George W. Bush that appeared on the Internet The production, apparently designed to misdirect feeble-minded Americans into believing that there is actually a parallel between the president and Adolf Hitler, backfired big time. The hysterical lefties at MoveOn.org, where the anti-Bush propaganda appeared, were quickly forced to backtrack and eat their words. A storm of protest fell on MoveOn.org from more traditional liberal groups...

'The bigger they are, the harder they fall" is an accurate adage, especially as it applies to Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh, of course, once claimed to be the brightest and the most well-informed where the American body politic is concerned, a conservative political pundit whose views on right, wrong and morality once served as a watermark for the values that helped make this nation great. Now, he has been reduced to asserting before a court of law that he is a victim of blackmail. I find it downright insulting that his attorney, Roy Black, has claimed before the 15th Circuit Court...

Based on some of the response to last week's column - about the adulation I felt for President George W. Bush's flying a good distance around the world on Thanksgiving Day to meet, greet and say "thank you" to our soldiers in Iraq - it seems to me the Democratic politicians and card-carriers alike may be on the verge of an emotional breakdown. Consider, for instance, the following words of anguish in an e-mail from "Dzerres": "It's embarrassing how far you have your nose up Bush's ---! 150 minutes in Baghdad, flying in under the cover of darkness, serving mashed...

Limbaugh should pay full price By Ken Hamblin, Special to the Denver Post A few weeks ago, I defended Rush Limbaugh's right to speak his mind concerning the football skills of Donovan McNabb, the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback whom Limbaugh believed was getting a free ride from the liberal sports press because he is black. In the end, that opinion cost Limbaugh a coveted position as an ESPN football analyst. Nonetheless, my insistence that every American, including Limbaugh, is licensed to speak their opinion did win me a note of approval from a doctor in Greenwood Village, who wrote a brief...

Did anyone else hear the ludricrous statements that Ken Hamblin made on Rita's show just now? Among other things, he said that "Rush was given the keys to the kingdom and let us down." Then he proceeded to puff himself up, making a total jackass out of himself as far as I'm concerned. I videotaped the whole segment and would replay it and transcribe it, but have to run out for a while right now.

Granted, it may be presumptuous to take on the worry of how well President George W. Bush is handling the war in Iraq. But worry I do - especially when the usual suspects on the Democratic disinformation steamroller make try to mislead Americans about the leadership capabilities of our president. On Sept. 11, 2001, this nation was attacked by men dedicated to our destruction. The day after that, just as Presidents Reagan and Clinton had done in the past after brushes with terrorism, President Bush made an emotional commitment to the American people: The attack by our enemies would not...

During a speech in St. Louis last week, President George W. Bush vowed - as I believe he should have - that there would be "no retreat from the guerrilla attacks on American soldiers in Iraq." Furthermore, the president criticized world leaders who are reluctant to lend a hand to get the bit into the mouths of the wild men, women and, yes, even children responsible for the deadly Middle Eastern game of drawing so-called Crusader Blood. Their misguided efforts to ascend into paradise and a better existence in their afterlife make them tough foes, indeed. But as they say,...

A group of frustrated liberals, apparently brimming with bitterness over their conked-out efforts to convince the American people that their way is best, have stooped to a new low of propaganda and disinformation that should anger every American. It's in the form of a study that seeks to link highly respected American conservatives like former President Ronald Reagan and radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh to the values of Adolf Hitler. All of it would be amusing if it weren't for the academic credibility this insular group is trying to attach to its absurd thinking. "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition,"...

I just heard that Ken Hamblin pulled himself off the air. His show didn't air yesterday and from what the producers at American View Radio said that Ken took all his tapes and left to not return to radio again. Anyone have the scoop?
