Anyone who disagrees with this fact is anti-white, anti-American, anti-Western and doesn’t believe in law and order or a solid work ethic. If anything, Trump is sympathetic since he saluted a Commie General once.

Hillary Clinton regained a double-digit lead over likely general-election rival Donald Trump in a new poll released Friday.

PHILADELPHIA – Thursday marked the start of “The 17th Annual White Privilege Conference” and this year’s theme is "Let Freedom Ring, Re-Imagining Equality & Social Justice in the United States." The annual event is aimed at promoting the theory of White Privilege – that American society is hopelessly stacked against minorities and the only way to fix the system is for white people to acknowledge their immense "privilege" and repent. "Our vision is to build a community committed to dismantling white privilege, white supremacy and oppression, every day, everywhere," wrote Eddie Moore Jr., founder and president of “The Privilege Institute,”...

Los Angeles Times architecture critic Christopher Hawthorne–who claims to be an “unabashed supporter” of high-speed rail–reviews Anaheim’s new train station and finds it “oddly antiseptic.” Hawthorne doesn’t care that taxpayers spent $2,764 per square foot for what is essentially a big glass tent. He is a little disturbed that the design is so dysfunctional that train passengers “exit onto an uncovered platform, take the elevator or stairs [up] to a pedestrian bridge, and then enter the building at its highest interior level” only to have to go back down again to get to ground level. ... While Hawthorne’s critique is...

Ecofeminism, or ecological feminism, is a term coined in 1974 by Françoise d'Eaubonne. It is a philosophy and movement born from the union of feminist and ecological thinking and the belief that the social mentality that leads to the domination and oppression of women is directly connected to the social mentality that leads to the abuse of the natural environment. It combines eco-anarchism or bioregional democracy with a strong ideal of feminism. Its advocates often emphasize the importance of interrelationships between humans, non-human others (e.g. pigs, squirrels, toads), and the earth.

The stimulus plan will create jobs repairing and upgrading the nation's roads, bridges, ports, levees, water and sewage system, public-transit systems, electricity grid, and schools. And it will kick-start alternative, non-fossil based sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal, and so on); new health-care information systems; and universal broadband Internet access. It's a two-fer: lots of new jobs, and investments in the nation's future productivity. But if there aren't enough skilled professionals to do the jobs involving new technologies, the stimulus will just increase the wages of the professionals who already have the right skills rather than generate many new jobs...

Drumstick or breast for accused daddy killer? Details at 11! If that wasn't quite how the Early Show played it, it's not far off. Of all the angles to promote its coverage of the story of the eight-year old accused of killing his father, CBS highlighted the issue of . . . where the boy would celebrate Thanksgiving. View video here.

I'm going to quit smoking for the nth time. What resolutions are you making?

Well, I call him Orca...the killer whale. "Hey Teddy, What if I'm pregnant?" "Don't worry Mary-Joe, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Bumper sticker seen on car. "More people were killed in Ted Kennedy's car than at Three Mile Island."

For reasons I won't go into here, I need to be out of my home for a few hours this afternoon. I went to Yahoo and looked at all the movies playing at the local multiplex theater (all the current titles). NOthing really grabs me. Not a big Star Wars fan, forget that thing with Jane Fonda, ditto for the Interpreter. I'd be interested in Hitchhiker's Guide because I loved the book, except that the reviews seem uniformly tepid. Then there's Crash, which has interesting reviews but for some reason doesn't do it for me. (BTW, I almost never go...

I’m not proud of this, but the parallels to Michael Schiavo are undeniable. When I was eight years old my little sister Joan was barely three. She could talk but no one could understand her. I remember teasing the crap out of her just to see her reaction as she went to dad to tell him how badly I was treating her. His reaction? “What’s the matter, honey? I can’t understand you.” She would then come back to me and complain about my treatment of her. And, what did I do? I teased her some more. It was really funny...

By Kalani Leifer Opinions Columnist Friday, February 25, 2005 “Dear Mr. Leifer: Too good to fight for your country, huh? Never mind. If need be, I suspect we can make do without you.” “Dear Mr. Smith: . . . So if you ask if I’m too good to fight for my country, I’d say no. I am, however, too good to blindly follow and not question, the very principle that makes this nation great. I’m extremely sorry you have forgotten this.” “Sir: You are a silly young man, full of your own self-importance, blinded by your own intellect. Perhaps we...

Selective Service By Kalani Leifer Opinions Columnist Friday, February 18, 2005 Six months, 17 days. That’s how long I’ve been 18 years old. $250,000 and five years in prison. As of now, that’s what I owe the federal government for evading the draft. I am a hardnosed liberal, aren’t I? OK, OK, so maybe I’m not actually a draft-dodger. After all, last time I checked, President Bush isn’t looking to commit political suicide, and a quarter of a million dollars makes me weak in the knees. To be quite honest, my apparent refusal to register for Selective Service is grounded...

OK! I give up! At the risk of being told that I'm wasting everyones time here. Can someone please tell me W.I.T.H. a "ZOT" is and what is the significance of the kittens/cats that seem to be mandatorily displayed with any discussion of a zot?

<p>Buh Bye former great Freerepublic, home of wannabe conservativ idiots, GESTAPO-like Mods and NAZIs. This once great forum has been trashed over the past three years like never before and I’m GLAD that these fucking MOD’s banned me today. If we loose this Election, then FR will be a part in this disaster. No freedom of speech, no real conservatives anymore, it’s a catastophical failure like our President said correctly, hehe… Just like fucking Germany back in 1933, Brownshirts all over the place. I’m puking, little boys.</p>

Senator Kerry -- When is the last time you gave Blood ?

They are simply hysterical defending Kennedy's statements! Try calling for a good laugh.
