Free Republic

October 2, 2002 Joint Resolution to Authorize the Use of United States Armed Forces Against Iraq Whereas in 1990 in response to Iraq's war of aggression against and illegal occupation of Kuwait, the United States forged a coalition of nations to liberate Kuwait and its people in order to defend the national security of the United States and enforce United Nations Security Council resolutions relating to Iraq; Whereas after the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, Iraq entered into a United Nations sponsored cease-fire agreement pursuant to which Iraq unequivocally agreed, among other things, to eliminate its nuclear, biological, and chemical...

I was checking out DU about Rove/SCOTUS and saw a thread that mentioned that Dizzy Dean will be on The Daily Show. Set your vcr/dvrs to record; should be good.

The legal counsel to Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) admitted yesterday that he was the author of a memo citing the political advantage to Republicans of intervening in the case of Terri Schiavo, the senator said in an interview last night.

Much has been said about Kerry's "Global Test" comment in the first Presidential debate. If one is an "American Security First" person, aka. "Security Mom", then Kerry's Global Test works contrary to a Commander-In-Chief's most important duty of defending our country against external military threats. And if one comes to that conclusion then one would tend to vote for Bush. There is, though, I think a slogan that the Bush campaign could take to heart. A slogan that reminds people of Kerry's international-popularity contest-rhetoric while at the same time remind people of the inherent good of America's military pursuits, particuarly...

"I am aware that many object to the severity of my language, but is there not cause for severity? I will be harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice.

“You’ve probably seen in the papers that I’ll be leaving my long career at PBS later this year. As I approach the age of 70, I’ve grown discouraged about the path America has taken, devolving from the New Deal and the Great Society into a debilitating dystopia of corporate greed, a blighted land of milked contributors and honeyed government favors for the very rich. We’ve declined from a President who came from a place called Hope, to an unsteady meat-headed martinet ruling his fraternity house based on fear. Defense contractors make their millions as our soldiers are chopped into chutney,...

John Kerry: Nice Piece Of Meat I've been waiting to tell this story for sometime. I wanted to see whether John Kerry's campaign would go anywhere or not. Since he seems to be leading the pack it's time to tell a simple, yet telling, story of Kerry that I witnessed for myself. In 1998-1999 I was working at a small, highly-rated gourmet shop on Beacon Hill in Boston. It was at the height of the impeachment trial and Kerry had just flown back to Boston. Once he had gotten to his Beacon Hill home at 19 Louisburg Square (yes, the...
