Free Republic

Check it out! There are quite a few SURPRISES!..........

<p>Of all the sordid machinations conjured up by the sinister, mad-cow-disease ravaged brains that characterize the demented left wing, liberal mindset, the most heinously cynical blood-libel of them all, was the Bush is Hitler meme, that was spread across the political landscape like fresh manure on roaming farmland.An unusual turn of events on a U.S. military procurement contract has lightly side-swiped three of Quebec’s largest aerospace firms.</p>

In a report released today entitled, Tea Party Nationalism, the NAACP falsely accuses Free Republic of being "an important space for...racist(sic)" and of having as a member the Holocaust Museum shooter James Von Brunn.In falsely accusing Free Republic of being a haven for racists, the NAACP report notes Free Republic's front page promotes the Tea Party Express.

(CNSNews.com) – Screenwriter and author Andrew Klavan said that in Hollywood, “(i)f you’re a conservative, especially a religious person, people have to meet in secret. They talk in whispers. It’s a very disturbing kind of culture.” Klavan, in an exclusive interview with CNSNews.com, explained that he and fellow conservatives in Hollywood are battling the liberal status quo by creating entertainment that reflects the values held by the majority of Americans. And things are changing for the better, he said, pointing to the best-picture Oscar nomination for the Christian-themed film “The Blind Side” and Sandra Bullock’s win as best actress in...

I was actually planning on doing a DUFU about either the DUmmies or KOmmies biting their fingernails over the survival of public option in ObamaCare. Right now they are acting as if their very existence depends on public option remaining. However, I find the constant micro-analysis of each little nuance and twitch of the various Senators and Congress folks to be highly annoying. Like their self-absorbed neurosis was making me neurotic reading about it. Therefore I decided to go with the FUn THREAD, "Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican..." At least one of the actors mentioned...

March 16, 2009, 4:00 a.m. A Leadership of Cowards?Why is Eric Holder embarrassed about enforcing civil rights in Noxubee County? By Hans A. von Spakovsky Attorney General Eric Holder calls the U.S. “a nation of cowards� because we “do not talk enough about race.� I find this ironic, since the Justice Department seems embarrassed about a recent judgment in its favor by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. U.S. v. Ike Brown is a major Voting Rights Act case involving intentional race-based discrimination by local officials in Noxubee County, Miss. When the Fifth Circuit issued its...

The nation’s top selling conservative author has been banned from appearing on NBC, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT. Banned for life! “We are just not going to have her on any more, it’s over,” a top network source explains… “We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now,” a TODAY insider reveals. “It’s such a downer. It’s just not the time, and it’s not what our audience wants, either.” {Allahpundit} Media Matters pushed them to cancel but there was no nutroots groundswell that I’m aware of. They knew what they were getting when they...

Sacramento, CA (AP) -- The artistic director at California's largest nonprofit musical theater company resigned Wednesday amid protests over his donation to a campaign to ban gay marriage in the state. Scott Eckern stepped down from his job at the California Musical Theater in Sacramento after some gay and lesbian activists called for a theater boycott. . . . Eckern said he "chose to act upon my belief that the traditional definition of marriage should be preserved" but had no idea his contribution would generate such controversy. He said his sister is a lesbian in a domestic partnership, which he...

Looking for person from a hobby-sort of web site. Don't know her name here. Don't scream at me, I AM posting this in chat.

I am reading Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies by M. Stanton Evans and recently started Chapter 36, Scott McLeod, Where Are You? What is remarkable is when M. Stanton Evans is describing the make-up of the Ike administration and the status of the GOP in the early 50's, it sounds very much like what is happening now. Case in point, Ike's speechwriter was a Emmet Hughes, a self-confessed Democrat. Another case - while staunch conservatives were fighting against communism within government, they would turn a blind eye to their...

A couple of years ago, I debated a professor from American University named John Doolittle who, prompted by me, admitted that Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, R-Wisconsin (1908-1957), may have exposed some real communists working in the federal government. “But I saw the Edward R. Murrow broadcasts,” Dr. Doolittle added. “He was a bad man.”

THEY'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOUby Ann CoulterDecember 5, 2007Poor Ron Radosh is still hoping liberals will forgive him. He wrote a good book a quarter-century ago with Joyce Milton -- "The Rosenberg File" -- which was supposed to exonerate Julius Rosenberg, but instead concluded that Rosenberg was guilty of Soviet espionage. Radosh has spent the rest of his life apologizing to liberals for that book. This week, he's apologizing in the pages of the increasingly irrelevant National Review with a nasty review of the greatest book since the Bible, M. Stanton Evans' "Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator...

Darwinian Dictatorship by: Malcolm A. Kline, November 30, 2007 Want tenure? Learn to love Charles Darwin. Want to keep your tenure? Work his name into your license plates. Want to keep your job? Never, never cast aspersions upon academia’s favorite butterfly expert. “We need to caution young people and let them know there are consequences for expressing doubt about Darwin,” biologist Caroline Crocker said recently in remarks at the Family Research Council. “I’m going on 50, my career is over.” “I can start over but for young people it can be devastating.” Dr. Crocker was fired from George Mason University...

About the Program M. Stanton Evans argues that Joseph McCarthy does not deserve the bad reputation he has been assigned by historians. Mr. Evans says that McCarthy was correct in his assessment of the threat posed by Communists in the United States during the so-called "Red Scare" and that his detractors knowingly covered up the extent of this threat.

Long-time conservative intellectual and commentator M. Stanton Evans discusses his important new book in defense of Joe McCarthy. Long awaited, Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy, was released on released on Nov. 6, 2007. Program re-airs on Sunday, 11/25, at 11 p.m. ET on C-Span2 (BookTV). Program length is 58 minutes.

I looked up Blacklisted By History on Amazon. It is number 25. Below is the review by Publishers Weekly. I bolded certain text that – in my opinion – attempts to deflate the importance of the book and the author. There are nine reviews – eight favorable and one not-so-favorable. That one was by a Charles Miller and here it is - This book is pure bull. Don't be taken in. McCarthy ruined innocent lives. As you can see, Mr. Miller is quite eloquent in his review. That was sarcasm, in case anyone missed it. Evans's lively book seeks, first,...

After attending a Young Republicans conference at Boston’s Marriott Long Wharf hotel, Boston Globe reporter Tracy Jan spoke with Candidate for the Massachusetts GOP Chairmanship Bob Parks. Parks’ speech at the gathering is said to have been very well received and Ms. Jan even made sure to ask for the correct spelling of Parks’ name for an article she would be writing. Bob told me that he asked Jan why the Globe had been snubbing his candidacy. He then advised me that Ms. Jan said that she didn’t know. However, when Jan’s article was written and published, Parks name did...

Special educational needs teacher Phil Cadman handed in his notice after governors at Abraham Guest High School in Orrell voted to reinstate disgraced classroom assistant Christopher Causey. Mr Cadman, 36, told the Evening Post: "I have taken this action because I was not prepared to work in a school alongside a convicted racist. The decision to allow him to continue to work at the school is fundamentally wrong." Causey, 27, a learning mentor who provides individual support to pupils in the classroom, racially abused and spat at an Asian man during a road rage incident. He was convicted of racially...

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Marc Lawrence, whose pockmarked face and brooding mannerisms made him a natural for roles as the tough guy, gangster and undertaker in dozens of movies beginning in the 1930s, has died. He was 95. Lawrence died early Monday at his Palm Springs home from heart failure, said Alicia Lawrence, the actor's second wife. "He was the gangster in his movies, that was definitely his style," said Alicia, a Mexico native who married Lawrence two years ago. "But in real life he was a really good person." After spending eight days in the hospital a few weeks...

Staffer in spying case says political threats hurt prospects at firm WASHINGTON--A former top Republican Senate staff member who resigned under pressure last year for spying on his Democratic staff colleagues is now accusing them of threatening partners at a law firm that was considering hiring him--including the firm's chairman, a prominent Boston attorney--in order to scuttle his job offer. In an affidavit he submitted to federal prosecutors this week, Manuel Miranda, a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, said that Democratic staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee telephoned partners at the firm of McDermott Will & Emory...

Like something in a B-horror flick, Janet Jackson's radioactive right breast has morphed into the monster that's eating Hollywood. In the past 24 hours: • Jackson's name was stricken from the official list of presenters for Sunday's Grammy Awards telecast on CBS. That's the same network that beamed us the Super Bowl game during which Jackson's breast made its broadcast TV debut in a stunt that duet partner Justin Timberlake called a "wardrobe malfunction." According to one source close to the production, CBS and the Recording Academy are waiting for her to graciously bow out; if she does not soon,...

AFP reports that for the first time, the U.S. has extended its terrorism blacklist to the internet, designating four websites run by supporters of Rabbi Meir Kahane as operated by "foreign terrorist organizations." A State Department official said that this is the "first time, to our knowledge, that a website or any website has been [thus] designated." The four websites are: "www.Kahane.org", "www.Kahane.net", "www.Kahanetzadak.com" and "www.newkach.org". The officials say that Kahane's supporters, "who want to see the restoration of the biblical state of Israel," are accused of "a number" of attacks against Arabs, as well as "making threats" against Israeli...

This week, on the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Delphi Web site, a discussion broke out about what political beliefs the CBLDF would support being expressed, whether in comics or on their own forum. Then Harlan Carroll wrote, "IIRC Mike Miller was FIRED as an artist because he posted in the DC Forums that he believed homosexuality was wrong. What is the official CBLDF stance on that?" Mike Miller was a DC artist and I personally remember his work from Grant Morrison's "JLA." He replied to the post. "This is Mike. I don't think there's anything the CBLDF *could* do...
