Free Republic

Millions of human beings around the world are forcibly detained, their liberties removed by governmental authorities. Anyone who takes seriously the immediate potential for replacing capitalism with a world of real abundance and freedom knows already that the great majority of crimes are either crimes against property or involve the illegal trafficking of property — or are the likely direct result of living the restricted and stressful life of a wage-slave. While there are those who justify the existence of laws on moral and ideological grounds, the defenders of the status-quo must always argue their case referring to a swashbuckler’s...

Update:Under the current rules, the way to go about preventing Specter from becoming the Chairman of the Judiciary is to have someone CHALLENGE Specter for the Chair.  Hatch is term-limited and can't continue.  Grassley is very unlikely to give up his Chair of Finance Committee.  Senator Jon Kyl is next in line and seems to be the best candidate.  This is where we need to concentrate on, getting someone to CHALLENGE Specter for the Chairman's role.  We need to contact Senator Kyl to see his willingness and also contact other Senators to support Kyl in making a CHALLENGE.  Focus:  Drafting...

DAVID CROSBY AND GRAHAM NASH ANNOUNCE THEIR CANDIDACY FOR JOINT PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE VENERABLE PAIR ARE RUNNING ON THE PARTY PARTY TICKET Shelburne, VT, July 21, 2004: David Crosby and Graham Nash have thrown their respective hats into the ring for the Presidency of the United States, entering an already crowded and diverse field with their bid on the Party Party ticket. What distinguishes the Crosby/Nash candidacy is that theirs is a campaign for a “Joint Presidency,” where the two will share responsibilities on an alternate day basis. When asked who would be named their...

A response to a letter sent to HP investor relations: I apologize to your offense to the radio commercial airing on an Air America affiliate. It is not the view of HP to use mediums like TV or radio to support or disagree with any type of political agendas, and the overriding consideration in buying media is to reflect HP as a responsible and global corporate citizen of good standing. When purchasing media for use in communicating HP messages, we generally look for where are core target is and where we will garner the highest response rates. We do not...

It didn't take long for Ted Rall to weigh in with a predictably boneheaded comment on the beheading of Nicholas Berg. Rall quotes -- and mocks -- Bush Administration pronouncements on the Abu Ghraib scandal and the beheading of Berg. Rall then argues that if the beheading says anything about the true nature of the terrorists, then the Abu Ghraib scandal says something about the true nature of the American people. In Rall's twisted view, any contrary opinion reflects "cognitive dissonance." Here is the beginning of Rall's post: Cognitive Dissonance "I share a deep disgust that those prisoners were treated...

Liberal radio is airing bad jokes and worst taste The United States "is on the slippery slope to theocratic fascism." "The Catholic Church has been secretly encouraging oral sex for years." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "ought to be tortured." President Bush should be taken out and shot. Those are a few nutso nuggets from the hosts of Air America Radio, which calls itself the new liberal voice.

Rush was just talking about the RNC Chairman who was interviewed in the Baltimore paper and he has said that the Republican party is no longer for limited government. Now the party will take a poll of what the people want and then will throw money at that special interest. Let's give this guy a poll!!!

Oregon's marvelous federal senator, Mr. Smith, is working with Ted "Chappy" Kennedy of the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Massachusetts to enlarge the scope of "hate crime laws." It is traditional in law that the reason a killing happens has a bearing on the punishment, if any, associated with the event. The basic difference is intent, though if the intent is part of a situation involving a typical self defense, the killing is usually legal. Where the death is not a matter of self defense, long-established rules hold sway. If you kill somebody without intending to do so, and not...

Fascinating…but Warped Free Republic Makes Outrageous Anarchist Database (Fascist Webs)- http://www.breakyourchains.org/fascist_websites.htm Database of Websites Deemed to be Fascist or Brownshirt by the Resistance …….We are creating the Anarchist Defense League. The @DL will become an intelligence agency in service of the anarchist movement. Our goal is to provide useful intelligence to anarchists concerning threats to the anarchist movement (e.g. brownshirt organizations, brownshirts, anarchist hating law enforcement officers, anarchist hating politicians, etc.).

How I Changed My Left-Wing High School By Steve Miller FrontPageMagazine.com | July 8, 2003 I just graduated from Santa Monica High. My teachers compared this country to the worst regimes in world history while excusing the atrocities of its enemies. And the well-entrenched left-wing bias seemed to take its most extreme forms in the classes most responsible for teaching students about civic behavior: History and Government. SMHS history courses routinely omitted essential components of U.S. history—everything from the pioneers to the Second Amendment—but spent an inordinate amount of time condemning this nation's past. My own U.S. history teacher instructed...

<p>COULD SOMEBODY please tell George W. Bush that he is not commander in chief of the judiciary? No matter how ''hot'' he looked in his flight suit, black robes require a cooler demeanor. The administration seems to think that the president has the right to appoint judges the way he can appoint overseers to Iraq. It has forgotten that the Senate is supposed to advise and consent -- and sometimes dissent.</p>

<p>He is 78 and fragile and suffering from symptoms of Alzheimer's and hasn't made a decent movie in decades, unless you count how he sadly made himself look quite the undereducated, largely unsympathetic, defensive fool in the Oscar-winning "Bowling for Columbine."</p>

IMPORTANT! STOP DEMOCRAT OBSTRUCTION NOW!!! (RNC) Senate Democrats are trying to kill the nomination of Miguel Estrada without ever giving him the courtesy of a straight up or down vote. The Democrat's filibuster of his nomination has once again obstructed progress in the Senate. But, this Thursday they will have to go on record either in support of a fair process or for continuing to block qualified judicial nominees from taking serving the American people in vacant judicial seats. That is why we need you to contact key Democrat Senators and urge them to support a fair up or down...

Democrats flaunt constitution and ignore their own precedent Democrats, Fearful Of Majority Rule, Filibuster Estrada Nomination ________________________________________________________ PRESIDENT BUSH ON THE DEMOCRAT'S OBSTRUCTION: "The Senators Are Applying A Double Standard . . . By Requiring [Estrada] To Answer Questions That Other Judicial Nominees . . . Have Not Been Forced To Answer. And That Is Not Right And That Is Not Fair. By Blocking A Vote On Miguel Estrada, Some Democrats In The Senate Are Flaunting The Intention Of The United States' Constitution. And The Tradition Of The United States Senate Itself. Alexander Hamilton WroteThat The Purpose Of The Senate...

This is a re-post and of the utmost importance for all Freepers and Americans. Don't let the Tom Daschles get away with this!The Senate, the President, and Judges The Seventeenth Amendment in giving Senators the power to by- pass state interests and pander to citizen constituency interests only heightens and hastens the march to socialism. Our nation has different interests as has been explained previously and to remain a republic we must have separate powers looking after those interests. Essentially our type of rule is three governments in one consisting of three branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, each with different...
