Rough Men “People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.” George Orwell Mr. Orwell was wise and prescient in many ways and truer words than those above were never written. The liberal media has it’s panties in a collective bunch over the actions of a brave young marine who did just such violence – on their behalf I might add – to an enemy combatant, to great his credit. Here is a young man who deserves a medal being called a war criminal instead. The Liberals are really...

My satellite provider just called me -- they are offering a great deal on Showtime-- just $3.00 / month for all 10 Showtime channels. I cancelled my Showtime when they decided to show "The Reagans" and I'm NEVER going back. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Maybe I'm not the only one and their business is off a little?

While I will have one eye glued to Fox News and the other glued to FR toninght, I am still looking for recommendations from fellow Freepers on which websites are the best to watch for timely updates of election results tonight -- you know, for my 3rd eye. Thanks in advance for your advice.

A shameless link to my Blog. I hope you enjoy The End of the Old Media; the triumph of the web In the beginning there were ABC, NBC, CBS the New York Times and the Washington Post. They set the agenda, the terms of the debate and, ultimately, they and they alone determined what was truth and what was fiction, what was newsworthy and what was rumor. The world changed on September 9, 2004. On that day, CBS’s leading news program, 60 Minutes, aired a story based on “newly discovered memos” which supported claims that George W. Bush’s performance in...

At last, Photographic Evidence of the author of the "Killian Memos" in action:

JWR is a one-man show and that one man, Binyamin L. Jolkovsky, is ill -- in part from the strain of running this wonderful site by himself. He is asking those of us that have been (gulp) reading his site without contributing to please contribute what we can in order to keep the site alive. I don't know about you but for me, next to FR, this is the site I go to most. Please read his letter and do what you think is right.

Lewis and Clark have ruled, I just heard the ruling live on the radio. Both have ruled that the ballots WILL NOT be thrown out. Chalk up another two for the forces of truth and justice.

I know we have a lot of lawyers out there. Perhaps even some who have SCOTUS experience. I listened to the entire oral argument and can't tell which way they are leaning. Its seemed to me that they did an excellent job of challenging both sides with alternate arguments. Expert opinion would be appreciated. Which way will they go?

Sen Steven Buyer speaking now. Caling the Gore campaign on the exclusion of the military vote. One great line: "The Gore campaign is counting hanging chad, dimpled chad... but if it is Sgt. Chad they do not want it counted. Bob Dole speaking now. Discussing the fact that he spent time in Miami in a body cast when he came back from Italy. "They are entitled to have their vote counted. If you doubt the fact that they voted, just call them up." Dole giving a more passionate speach then I have ever seen him give. Great stuff

Bush lead attorney just heald a press conference. They are filing immediately with the US Supreme Court, asking it to take the case from the 11th circuit. He made a GREAT case for all of the constitutional issues.

Briefs due on 11/27, 11/28. Court will decide on oral argumets on 11/28. Roe V Alabama here we come!!!

The original vote for M-D stands. They do not have time to do a 100% recount.

MSNBC just announced that with the counting of some 33,000 absentee ballots, Gore's additional votes have dropped from +118 to +68. In other words a loss to Gore of 50 votes. There are still some more absentee votes to be counted.

Support Bush in the recount efforts

For those of you who missed it the first time, CSPAN will be replaying the hearing several times tonight. Schedule can be found here: CSPAN

To the tune of Twinkle Twinkle little star Sprinkle sprinkle little chad We all know that Bush is bad Twist them, turn them, if in doubt You can always pop them out Dimpled, pregnant, hanging door No one's watching, Hey here's 3 more The people's will we must devine None for Bush, for Gore there's nine This Bush stack here looks like junk I'll just put them in my trunk.

Just a simple Thank You to all of you who gave so much to preserve our liberty. God willing, your sacrifice will not have been in vain.

Nuff said. You know why. No further content.

The Human Life Value Matrix Most of us were taught when we were young that any human life is priceless. There is some evidence that society still believes this. We see it particularly when some advocacy group mounts a campaign to promote government regulation of a consumer product. We have all certainly heard the refrain "if only one life could be saved by regulating (guns, pesticides, herbicides, automobile exhaust, toys, fast food...) isn't it a small price to pay." Certainly, this tactic has worked well enough to have allowed the slow seepage of regulation into every aspect of our ...
