Free Republic

The Democrats “missing” Word” Why Reid, Pelosi, Obama, and many other Democrats do not want America to recover its own sources of energy is a puzzle. The puzzle remained a puzzle but became a bit clearer when I realized that Democrat have a different agenda for America than the Republicans. To examine how the agendas differs let’s state the problem the people want the government to solve. The problem is that America’s economy is dependent on foreign oil.

It's only natural to wonder what the budding socialist turned presidential candidate thought of nuclear proliferation in the early 1980s. The Obama campaign, proving every bit as secretive as the Office of the Vice President, has been less than forthcoming with details. "Spokesman Ben LaBolt wouldn’t even say whether Sen. Obama threw out his copy or lost it." At an earlier date, an aide actually told the New Republic the junior senator couldn't recall what he...

Midnight, 19 May 1961. A crisp frost had descended on Turin’s city centre which was deserted and deathly silent. Well, almost. Two brothers, aged 20 and 23, raced through the grid-like streets (that would later be made famous by the film The Italian Job) in a tiny Fiat 600, which screamed in protest as they bounced across one cobbled piazza after another at top speed. The Fiat was loaded with dozens of iron pipes and aluminium sheets which poked out of windows and were strapped to the roof. The car screeched to a halt outside the city’s tallest block of...

A depot in France from which a large quantity of powerful explosive went missing was poorly guarded, the regional head of security has said. The storage of 28kg (61lb) of Semtex at the site near Lyon was "not usual and certainly not authorised", Xavier de Fuerst also told the AFP news agency. A search by anti-terrorist officers is under way, and the manager of the site has been suspended pending an inquiry. Semtex is favoured by terrorists as it is odourless and difficult to detect.

Twenty-eight kilograms of Semtex was found to be missing in a routine...
