http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1733973/posts A LETTER TO JOHN KERRY (from a Marine) Yesterday John Kerry said, "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well, and if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq" So I wrote him a letter: I am a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. I am currently on my second tour in Iraq, a tour in which I volunteered for. I speak Arabic and Spanish and I plan to tackle Persian Farsi soon. I have a Bachelors...

Yet, there are few signs that a majority of Iraqis are prepared to raise the white flag of surrender. Several events in the past two weeks have highlighted the growing isolation of the jihadists and their Saddamite allies. One event is the creation of a tribal alliance, bringing together all Arab Sunni clans of western Iraq...

EIB Programming Alert... Rush Will Interview President Bush on Wednesday's Show

The Choice By The Editors of National Review Online One Republican line of attack against Democrats has been, in the recent words of Majority Leader John Boehner, “The Democrats have no agenda and are hoping no one will notice.” If only it were true. The Democrats’ message in this campaign may boil down to “We’re not Republicans,” but in fact the congressional minority has fought for a far-ranging agenda in vote after vote during recent sessions. It’s time people took notice. If Democrats decide in the closing days of the campaign to run on their records, here’s a catchy slogan...

Gee surprise surprise the Democrats get Kimmy to pull a nuke test to keep this story out of the headlines. :-) Budget Deficit Drops to $250 Billion AP ^ | October 6, 2006 | ANDREW TAYLOR Posted on 10/06/2006 12:19:40 PM CDT by West Coast Conservative The federal budget estimate for the fiscal year just completed dropped to $250 billion, congressional estimators said Friday, as the economy continues to fuel impressive tax revenues.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1710704/posts?page=1 Myth Busting on NSA Surveillance Posted on 09/29/2006 11:26:08 AM CDT by bobsunshine I guess we need to inform the country about some of the realities of the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program (TSP) and what is possible and not possible to resolve all the concerns for privacy protections. I say this because the house just passed a good bill on the NSA TSP. This topic is especially important in light of some leftwing prosecutorial abuse against a Rep Candidate for AG in NY who has had her phone monitored for discussing ways to catch her cheating husband publicized -...

Here is the raw data on Iraq. Seems Bob Woodward latest work is simply a regurgitation of every falsehood, half truth and exaggeration present by the Junk Media on Iraq since 2003. In a vain attempt to falsely validate preconceived notions, Mr Woodward demonstrated how the Left has managed to be wrong on every aspect of the Iraq War. Mr Woodward's...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1709588/posts?page=1 House passes detainee bill Republicans pushed a bill supported by President George W. Bush to set rules for interrogating and trying terrorism suspects through the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday and Senate Republicans were expected to follow within a day. The House passed the bill 253-168 largely along party lines, dismissing warnings from Democrats that courts would strike down the plan for failing to meet judicial standards. Republicans who control both chambers want to send the bill to Bush by the weekend, when lawmakers head out to campaign for November elections that will determine control of Congress. The...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1702290/posts?page=1 The Good Life At Gitmo ON the military plane back from America's most fa mous terrorist holding pen, the in-flight film was "V for Vendetta," a screed that tries to justify terrorism. It was a fitting end to a surreal, military-sponsored trip. The Pentagon seemed to be hoping to disarm its critics by showing them how well it cares for captured terrorists. The trip was more alarming than disarming. I spent several hours with Rear Adm. Harry B. Harris Jr., who heads the joint task force that houses and interrogates the detainees. (The military isn't allowed to call them...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1705348/posts?page=33 House Votes to Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote WASHINGTON — The House voted Wednesday to require Americans to show proof of citizenship in order to vote, and the Senate moved to build a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border as Republicans sharpened attacks on illegal immigration before the midterm elections. The 228-196 House vote on a new photo ID plan and the Senate's consideration of the fence were both part of a get-tough policy on illegal immigrants that Republicans have embraced after Congress' failure to agree on broader legislation that would set a path for undocumented workers to...

Something for the Political Suicide Club "Conservatives" to keep in mind before spewing forth any more of their "Win by Losing" nonsense. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1703526/posts When it began broadcasting back in 2004, Air America was supposed to be the great leftist hope, the radio network whose hosts would floor the dominating conservatives on political talk shows, especially Rush Limbaugh, the undisputed champion of the genre. But things went from bad to worse as the network received low ratings in too few markets and was involved in a scandal because of borrowing money from a nonprofit organization. The network’s chief on-air personality, Al...
