    Very Dangerous Conduct Among Republicans and Freepers. Complacency Kills. My friends, this is a dangerous time. Never before has there been an election that so threatens America. Simply put, if John Kerry wins, the United States will simply become an “equal citizen” of the world, along with every other country. John Kerry is much more of a citizen of the “World” than he is a US citizen. Yes, he was born here. However, his education was in the French cantons of Switzerland, at a time when the “Hate Everything American” was stronger there than it is even now. Today, we...

    WELCOME TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH, U.S.A. by Timothy Rollins, Editor and Publisher March 2, 2004 The homosexual lobby can say what they like, but the fact remains these so-called 'gay marriages' are neither legitimate nor lawful, despite what San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom or New Paltz, New York Mayor Jason West may think. Newsom cites the equal protection under the laws clause of the California State Constitution as his justification for violating Proposition 22, the ballot initiative overwhelmingly passed by California voters in 2002 that specifically prohibits marriage between two persons of the same gender.I recently spoke with an attorney...

    A preacher once went around New York City and asked the following question to the first person he met on the street. The question was," Do you know what is wrong with America?" The man's answer was"I don't know, and I don't care."

    Our greatest responsibility is the active defence of the American people. Twenty-eight months have passed since September the 11th, 2001 -- over two years without an attack on American soil -- and it is tempting to believe that the danger is behind us. That hope is understandable, comforting -- and false. -- George W. Bush, State of the Union, Jan. 20, 2004 - - - The war on terrorism has been more successful than any of us dared imagine. Iraq is free. Afghanistan is freeish. Saddam is in jail. Osama bin Laden is in hiding. Two-thirds of al-Qaeda's known leadership...

    Jan. 19 issue - Each morning, as republicans—bright-eyed after sleep made especially refreshing by dreams of defeating Howard Dean—shave or apply makeup, they should look into their mirrors and say to the images of complacency there: "Read my lips—Michael Dukakis got 45.6 percent of the vote."

    Most of you have heard that the recently-converted Florida Moslem woman who wanted to have her driver's license photo taken while wearing a full burqa, including a total head covering, lost her case in court. A Florida judge said that a driver's license is for identification purposes, and if all you can see is someone's eyes in the photo, it is useless for that purpose.It's coming to America, folks. Here's a list of items related to a French university's language studies department. Moslems are taking over. Read the full article at WorldNetDaily. Headscarved students demanded a prayer room within the...

    Oleg Kalugin, former chief of counterintelligence for the KGB, was once a major general who headed the KGB office in Washington. He was stripped of his rank and pension in 1990 after pushing for reforms in the KGB, and was subsequently convicted, in absentia, of high treason. He now heads Intercon International, a Washington-based international business consulting firm, teaches at the Centre for Counterintelligence in suburban Virginia, is a director of the International Spy Museum, and consults for the departments of Defense and Energy. Excerpts from a recent interview with Al Eisele follow: Q: What’s your assessment of President Bush?...
  • In victory, Microsoft morphs into IBM, and loses it

    Throughout the antitrust trial Microsoft executives have seen it as vitally important that they avoid the legal threat turning Microsoft into IBM. Big Blue itself faced a major antitrust action in the 80s, and although it eventually emerged relatively intact (apparently), it did so with a large gaggle of lawyers attached to it for ever more, and with a deep paranoia/paralysis engendered by fear of antitrust. That of course is a matter of opinion, and although I personally do not believe it is entirely true, Microsoft and numbers of analysts believe that it is. IBM won the battle but lost...
