Free Republic

I found this interesting, particularly in light of the openening for school vouchers.

If this upsets you do not worry about it. Once schools start taking vouchers the federal government will get involved and not allow a school to be this free with its admissions. When that happens schools already will be too dependent on the children going to school with vouchers to be independent and will do what the government tells them to.

Don't look now, your prejudice is showing

The problem is he is not prejudiced against jews. Many jews like the large number of reformists here in NYC have been attacking christians by funding groups like the ACLU and People For The American Way for a long time. These are the same jews who used to send their kids to communist camps for summer vacation in upstate new york.

The F-14 tomcat was attacked as well in the press. It also had problems when it was tested and when it cameout. Now look at its preformace over the life of the plane.

Bret got his clock cleaned as they say, because the establishment pubbies (RINOs) abandoned him and some even supported the DIM. Why is it that conservative pubbies are expected to hold their nose and vote for RINOS, but RINOs would rather have the dim???? (Maybe because the DIMS are who they *really* support????)

They not only attacked him but oppenly supported Mc Greedy in the press. The GOP appointee who took over christy wittmans job even cameout and attacked him. He was screwed by the RINOs. It is a perfect example of the RINO's in the northeast who want conservative votes but will not accept one in office.

The riots only happened after the cops were found not guilty. Also this did not happen in L.A. near it but not in it!

Lets wait and see before we start talking about what did and not did happen that has changed the city.

Good article, though it did omit what was done to Schundler in NJ.

I agree. What the republicans did to schundler was worse then what is going on with Simon. For those of you who do not live in the tri-state area of NY, NJ and CT. The republican leadership of N.J. wentout and fully attacked Schundler in the press every single chance they got. Calling the man a crazy and an extremist. One member of the NJ GOP even went on a newscast the night before the election and stated that he hopes Schundler loses.

Schundler was a mayor of an almost all black city in NJ and won two races. He also turned the city around in eight years. He was even with the N.J. Dem from the start but no money came in for the man and after being attacked by his own party he did not have a prayer.

DRUDGE IS ON FIRE!

Oh boy damm! Drudge is great tonight on WABC!

Where are the Human Rights people? :~)

Chances are they are inside giving lectures to the "evil white men" who are stealing oil from the mouth of africans.

European govs are better at attracting scientists.

That is not true. Infact tony blair and a few other european leaders at a summit about european sciences made speaches attacking politcal groups in their nation that are scareing scientists away from europe because of laws pertaining to animal welfare and religious groups that will not allow reseach that they believe is immoral.

Almost all of the attacks were on green groups who were seen as anti-science. It has been a fact that big companies have been investing more in america over the past 5 years then ever before. So again someone on this thread is wrong. Euro nations might fund science more then the united states but our companies beat them when it comes to R&D reasearch a few doezen times over. While some of that R&D is not done here 90% of it is.

While some of our colleges or even many of them are messes the united states has more funded departments devoted to hard science then every single european nation.

Also a point about russia. Russia might have minerals and good farmland plus highly education citizens. That however does not mean a thing. In russia you are still forced into many fields from school by the government and their economy is a mess from mafia like groups that make the italians look like a joke here in the states. Russia also has a rule of law problem were some parts of the government do not want to moveover for private industry. Russia has huge problems with its roads and rails that are falling apart all over the nation as well. It does not matter how many farms you have or mineral deposits if you cannot go from point A to B in a predictable amount of time your in trouble as a nation.

I understand that there was substantial reverse migration during the depression

No the only time of reverse migration was when the first world war hit anarachist and socialist europeans left for mexico. They came back at the end of the war however. Most of them came from italy then any other nation as well.

Good luck to them. It seems like a pretty good idea for a school and I hope the nannies in this country do not give them much trouble.

Has hell frozen over?

I just looked out my window and I can see four oddly dressed men in tattered armor with scrolls in their hands on the streetcorner. I have no idea who they are but to me they shure as hell do not look like the pimps I see every other time I lookout the window!

How exactly can you serve with honor if you are a slave? I can understand free slaves at the time serving with honor but not slaves. They are little more then property with no choice in the matter. Its like thinking that a slave can have consent to her masters sexual desires. If you do not have freedom for yourself you cannot have consent.

This isn't a caption just an observation- I don't know about you but that Yield sign has got to be hurting his legs. I saw that and said ouch!

If you drop a few X pills a silly little metal sign will not bother you.

They should immediately receive northern Iraq. It would be appropriate punishment for Hussein. Kurds from worldwide would be allowed to arrive and settle there. They would be protected until able themselves by Nato.

That would never happen. I honestly feel for the kurds but no way in hell would the Turks stand for a kurdish nation on their border were a large minority of kurds live right across in south eastern turkey. The Turks are just too important for the united states and europe to piss off.

Tom Ryan, a spokesman for Philip Morris USA, said the tobacco company supports a crackdown on tax evasion. "The people really hurt by all this are the retailers who are doing business legitimately." he said. "Jobs are on the line."

And the tobacco companies wonder why we don't support them? They are contemptible.

Hey look man what exactly do you expect them to say? They have already been drained of billions of dollars. Hey everyone buy smokes online? I don't think so. I am pretty shure the tobacco companies are laughing their butt off about this stuff.

A meglomaniac like bin Laden likes the spotlight, particularly when he's being challenged

Really? Remember he never admitted to the attacks on the WTC as his work on video. That tape was taken from someone or someplace else not from him. Also compaired to some other terrorist leaders he has been very camera shy during his whole carrer. Untill now even though he has been very active as a terrorist not many people knew much about him other then terrorist junkies.

A set of remains had been found, and there were hints that they might be bin Laden

If it was his they would have told us about it already. Two weeks is more then enough to get a few different confirmations if they thought it was him. I am shure we will get him but to assume anything now would be insane. I would like to see his dead body.

Aw, Joe Doesnt have to worry. They know how to get here illegally, They'll just come here from Canada or Mexico. Secure Our Borders!

They also shure as hell will not live near his daughter but will be able to move nextdoor to yours.

I pray every single night before I go to bed and thank god that greenpeace does not have the same political power here that they have in europe.

If you think its bad here its worse overseas.

I hope Powell and Bush stick to their guns and refuse to deal with Arafat no matter what!

Considering that bush changes his mind on every issue he takes from conservative to socialist it might not be long before arafat gets invited to the whitehouse.
