Free Republic

Mary Jo Kopechne I would have been 65 years of age this year. Read about me and my killer below. When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past. But now that he's become a leading Republican attack dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over. It's time for the GOP to stand up and remind America why this chief spokesman had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980 -...

NASCAR and Perspective Quite thought provoking, please read carefully. It may open your eyes! Thanks, TIM On 18 February 2001, while racing for fame and fortune, Dale Earnhardt died in the last lap of the Daytona 500. It was surely a tragedy for his family, friends and fans. He was 49 years old with grown children, one of whom was in the race. I am new to the NASCAR culture so much of what I know has come from the newspaper and TV. He was a winner and earned everything he had. This included more than "$41 million in winnings ...

ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox all lead their 5p.m. newscast with Bill Clinton and the protest. They are saying we have about two dozen protesters there. They interviewed Patriot1 and a guy named Gary Sullivan (I don't know if he is a Freeper or not). They did a good job of expressing the conservative view point. I really didn't get to watch any of it as much as I would like. I was switching back and forth trying to catch the whole interview on at least one station.

Just moments ago, ABC TV, Channel 11 in New Orleans mentioned that Free Republic was planning to protest Clinton's speech tomorrow. They said we are a conservative group that believes Clinton should not be paid to make speeches. It was short but sweet and ACCURATE!

COURT CALLS HEARING ON ELIAN MATTER FOR 2:30 PM TOMORROW Judicial Watch Moves To Uncover "Truth" Behind Reno's Raid (Washington, DC). Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit to uncover the real reasons behind Janet Reno's and the Clinton-Gore Administration's bizarre action in backing Castro and risking life and limb in the Elian Gonzalez saga. This morning, the public-interest government watchdog filed an emergency motion before The Honorable James Robertson of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, asking that the Court order the immediate production of all documents by the Justice Department concerning the Elian Gonzalez saga. ...

The cameraman for NBC News was just interviewed on MSNBC. He was IN THE HOUSE when Elian was captured. Brian Williams asked him if he considered it excessive force. He said "well, I was kicked in the stomach and my sound man was hit in the head WITH A GUN and dragged outside and told not to move or they would shoot him". He said "if he had been the father he wouldn't want his child treated that way." Sounds EXCESSIVE TO ME!
