Free Republic

or the op-ed ravings of Gloria Steinem, Maureen Dowd, Eleanor Clift or Sally Quinn Now there is a group I would not want to meet in a dark alley.

I think seeing them in a well lit alley would make the meeting far more unpleasant.

They even bankrolled a website, how cute.

Simple question to any community organizer, and Medved is doing a fantastic job clarifying this point on his show right now, what do “community organizers” do precisely for their community?

What job(s) have been brought in by one of these people? What authority do they hold? What verifiable, concrete ACCOMPLISHMENT can they point to? They sound like paid whiners for a bloated welfare state to me. If anything I love the attention this is getting, the more we learn about this position the clearer it becomes that the Chicago Machine gave Barack a job to groom him as part of a larger grooming process for national office.

I too will be praying for her, against the monstrous forces that are arraying against her.

The political faith of Nazism, which adapted many elements from Christianity including, it has to be said, anti-Judaism which was converted into racial anti-Semitism, was responsible for a world war and the murder of six million Jewish people.

I disagree, anti Judaism wasn't a trait of Christianity, it was-and still is-a trait of European culture. Too bad for them they didn't realize that the real threat to their precious culture came from all the muslims they were letting in from the 60s on.

The Holocaust is unique in the sense that, for the first time in human history, an entire country condemned an entire people to death without the benefit of due process of law or even a trial. Jews were killed simply for being Jews.

Lets have a little bit broader historical perspective here, the Germans were but a fraction of mass murder of the 20th century. When compared to the Soviets and the Maoist, their 6 million Jews/1.5 million Gypses and Slavs tragically are dwarfed. My grandfather was a survivor of Lenin while the rest of his family was not. The estimatate in Russia are unknown because we never liberated the Soviet Union unlike Germany, but its between 50 and 100 million souls. A new book about Mao put China's mass murder at similar numbers. If it were the population of the US that would be like 2 out of 3 people dying between those two Marxists dictatorships. There was nothing unique about an entire country condemning people it found unfit to live without due process. Due process was rather unique in the world til the end of the century. Heck I'm certainly forgetting many other examples, and these are merely within the past 100 years. What about the Amerinian Genocide in Turkey? Another country that has never been conquered after its mass murderous acts, they were almost entirely whiped out of existance except for those people that have spread to all corners of the earth, many settling right here in our state. I've talked to a few of the survivors and they too know the cost of a totalitarian regime that declares war on a religious minority.

I'll grant you its extra important to talk about the Holocaust in light of dangerous zealots like the Iranian President, and its not important who had more deaths when you get into numbers like that, but its important to keep perspective and not overstate the uniqueness or else you diminish the others that suffered equally to the forgotten pages of history, and that's sad. I think this was for the first time in human history that one of these mass murdering campaigns was captured on film and with pictures, and many of the survivors interviewed. That's the real distinction, Uncle Joe didn't let AP camera crews into the Gulags.

A: Denying wrongdoers the fruits of their criminality is eminently "fair".

Don't forget that setting up a new law to do so is "comprehensive"

I can't wait til Frist has be addressed as "Senate Minority Leader" in a few months, what a bunch of crooks, they're allowing the privatizing of profits and the socializing of costs. I am gladly sending all the Senatorial Campaign committee junk mail back to them letting them know I'm not giving them anything because they won't seal the border.

Er um, uh I haven't read the bill (yeah, that'll stall em)

Right. Well, if that's the case, I would hope that would inform the debate and that Congress will consider those kinds of impacts very carefully before they finally pass something. We'll certainly weigh in on it.

Hardly a ringing endorsement that you would oppose legalizing 5 times the number of current illegals over the next 20 years. Yeah, you weigh in on that alright. He can't even give a simple straight answer to such a blantently bad concept as that, when he's going to be back in Wyoming while the Tijuana-ization of American cities will ramp up 5 fold. God I can't believe I voted for these clowns twice, what a disgrace.

If you are asking whether or not I'm going to get red faced and angry about George W Bush's personal legacy as President, the answer to that is a resounding NO. Someone with that poor communicative skills had no business running for higher office as a Republican, as a Dem he'd be protected from the media. I'm not calling for the man to be impeached, but after what he's done to my city with his innability to seal the border, I have a million more important things to worry about then whether he's impeached.

Among these is the assertion that I, as the new chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, would immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush.

Lucky for the Democrates, the Guest Worker Amnesty bill if signed into law will make a lot of us give a big *YAWN* to an impeachment of Bush, if that's the best reason the GOP campaign managers in Washington can come up with to vote for them, they're in more trouble then they realize.

I have no motivation to defend Bush's legacy, he's a big boy, he can worry about that.

The Senate is proposing to add at least 100 million more to them in the next 20 years
Do you really believe that, or do you merely think everyone else is going to believe that if you repeat it often enough?

I wanna know if you have any other response to these posters then the smart alec "do you believe that?" nonsense, they posted it, of course they do. Sorry, this bills impact is not a matter of faith, and its too important to be ignored simply because it offends your binary understanding of the world. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/wm1076.cfm

Watch out Reaganwuz, this is the point of the arguement where we are told what a bunch of anti Republican extremist the Heritage Foundation is.

Don't think they would stop at Bush, seminar poster! When we have the Mooslum loonies threatening to wipe us out daily, you are willing to put control of the country in the hands of the Insane party?

I'm a "seminar" and you are the one ranting about "Mooslum loonies". I didn't say I was going to put the Democrates in power, Bush has done that without me lifting a finger. The Senate is lost, Frist better get used to "Senate Minority Leader" in his title right now.

Let me tell you something and you listen real good, I live in southern California and I have noticed a tremendous influx of middle easterners in my part of the valley over the past year. I know a number of them happen to be Hindus from India, but the rest are muslim. I've already seen how signs by real estate agents with Jewish names have been defaced, and I don't think its our Mexican gangs doing it.

Its only a matter of time til an attack is perpetrated right here, I have no doubt about this. Now we have Republicans running around saying a wall is out of the question, when that attack happens, guess who's going to get the blame for not "connecting the dots" this time, hmmm? Think real hard. You can't beat your strawman about the "Insane party" forever, they're the minority in every branch.

You would think so considering that nobody noticed that 6 million were deported.

I noticed, they stop them at the border, there is absolutely 0 "interior" enforcement however, which means if you get past the border patrol you aren't deported.

I also noticed all the guys at Home Depot loitering I drove past a couple hours ago. I think the people that oppose unsealed borders notice more then your friends in Washington realize.

On the bright side, if President Bush's amnesty proposal for illegal immigrants ends up hurting Republicans and we lose Congress this November, maybe the Democrats will impeach him and we'll get Dick Cheney as President.

The thing I like about conservatives is they're always looking at the bright side of any issue.

Talk about politics making strange bedfellows, I remember hearing that Bush being impeached would be the huge scare tactic to get us to the polls in Nov, now it may only get a shrug from the base.

They can blame themselves, Bush's codeworded plan of "fair and comprehensive" is worse then what we have now. Never in a million years did I think I would say this, but honestly I would root for no bill and Bush impeached by wild eyed leftist in the congressional majority after this fall then I would with Hagel-Martinez bill.

Bush to Visit Border Smuggling Hotspot

He's going to make sure there are no vigilantes interrupting his labor flow.

Where are the voices of "Moderate Muslims?" Their silence speaks volumes.

Yes, I wonder if some enterprising reporter could stick a mic in someone from CAIR on this topic. It would be fascinating to see how they'd blame Americans or the Jews for this.

I'm glad Bush doesn't want to violate the constitution, but you did.

The GOP is strong. Kiss my Grits!

Wow, talk about a desperate arguement, might has well have said "so there" with your detailed empirical analysis.

Write-In ..Third...( my personal Favorite)

You cannot be serious, you would want Bush to violate the Constitution and run for a 3rd term? Do you have any idea how much his inability to articulate conservative principles have hurt the GOP?

Why even have 2 partied anymore. The New Majority has very little differences between itself and the dems agenda in many ways. Many well-meaning folks here seem to overlook for some reason..

Well no one opposed Arnold over Tom more then I did during the recall, but I am voting for Arnold in the next election, and this move by Tom pleases me.

There is no good candidate running this year for Gov, but Arnold is decent and we won't have radical leftward movement under him despite some alarmists saying otherwise. We won't have rightware movement either, but knowing that Tom's payback in compromising here is support in 2010 to become CA Governor, I think CA can wait that long. Tom McClintock for Governor is worth the wait.

I think he has as much problem striving for diversity with all the token left wingers he has on there as much as Wilson's clowns. Basically they're all out of their league right now, how else could they let a few Teachers Union ads turn a 60+% approval rated movie star into an approval rating in the 30s and get smoked on the propositions within a couple years?

They've got no one to blame but themselves.

Funny how they've been screaming about Tom's Conservative credentials for months but are now silent.

Uh, what are you talking about? I seem to see quite a few posts on here praising Tom. I supported him 100% in the recall, but I also plan on reelecting Arnold this year even though I am aware he's not conservative. I'm also happy Tom is supporting Arnold, and don't find any problem with them running as a ticket.

If there are people still fighting the recall, they need to let it go, on both sides. I am pleased to see many of the pro Arnold posters during the recall praising Tom here. I think things are going well, except that Arnold has an amature and self destructive group of advisors that cost CA his Propositions, and possibly his reelection.
