It will be a different scene Tuesday when the black-robed justices of the Supreme Court emerge from behind a red, velvet curtain and take their seats at the mahogany bench. Instead of two female justices, there will only be one. Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the high court, retired last month. That left Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the lone female among the nine justices, a distinction she seems unhappy about. "I would not like to be the only woman on the court," Ginsburg said in a speech last September, a practical appeal to President Bush to...

I came across an article on Wikipedia called "Societal Attitudes Towards Homosexuality". I noticed that the article had an obvious pro-gay bias and contained fabrications. Since Wikipedia allows anybody to make changes, I made corrections. My changes were immediately changed back. I made changes again, and my changes were reverted again and then I got a warning against "vandalism". There are a slew of gay people who use Wikipedia to get their agenda out. They monitor the homosexuality-related pages on Wikipedia and remove any comments that aren't pro-gay. They also remove any middle-of-the road comments, and you can forget about...

GEORGE SOROS’ INFILTRATION OF CPAC STATEMENT FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD CONGRESSMAN MARK E. SOUDER (IN-03) FEBRUARY 8, 2006 Mr. Speaker, George Soros, the radical liberal financier who dedicated himself to defeating President George W. Bush in the last election, has taken a lesson from Jack Abramoff. As much of Abramoff’s pernicious lobbying technique has come to light, we’ve seen how he was adept at manipulating certain conservative organizations to pursue a decidedly anti-conservative agenda, namely the promotion of gambling. By working hand in hand with the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), for example, he was able in 2000 to undermine conservatives’...

I dare not compare the atrocities of the Nazis to the actions of liberals today, nor do I say that today’s liberals are Nazis, they clearly are not. However, what they do share in common is that both liberalism and nazism are forms of fascism. At the very heart of the two the essence is the same and therefore the end results cannot not differ. Neither can produce anything but destruction and death (Nazism doing so with direct intentions to achieve their goals, but often as a by-product of liberalism along the way to theirs) for at their common core...

Last update - 21:59 08/12/2005 Muslim nations vow to combat extremist religion, rein in terror By The Associated Press MECCA - Leaders at the biggest-ever Muslim summit on terrorism vowed Thursday to fight extremist ideology, saying they would reform textbooks, rein in the issuing of religious edicts and crack down on terror financing. Kings, heads of states and ministers from more than 50 Muslim countries closed a two-day summit held in Islam's holiest city, Mecca, that had been convened in a bid to address terrorism that has increasingly confronted their own governments and to counter criticism that the Islamic world...

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger may fashion himself as an ideological centrist, but he continues to govern as an extremist. The selection of true-blue Democrat Susan Kennedy as his new chief of staff is the latest example Kennedy, for decades, has been a liberal activist and a political strategist — for abortion rights, the state Democratic party, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Gov. Gray Davis, who appointed her to the California Public Utilities Commission. State Treasurer Phil Angelides, who's running hard against Schwarzenegger for governor, gave Kennedy her first big political job when he was chairman of the state party. She was...

The Christian God is Extremist. God is light in Him is no darkness at all. There is no unrighteousness in Him. I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the Father but by me. Whoever keeps the whole law yet offends in one point is guilty of all. The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men that hold the truth in unrighteousness. I hear so much today by the left that the right-wing extremists are trying to run this country. The real question is "Is the God of...

Muslims rarely throw away leaflets containing possible extremist references because it is forbidden by their religion, a childhood friend of a failed Derby suicide bomber told a court. Irfan Bhatti, who befriended terrorist Omar Sharif when they were at Bemrose School together between 1988 and 1992, told the Old Bailey yesterday that he had such leaflets at home. But he denied that it meant he or anyone else with the literature held those same extremist views, the court heard. Omar Sharif, of Northumberland Avenue, Derby, failed to blow himself up in a busy bar in Tel Aviv in 2003. His...

PARIS (AP) - Counterterrorism police found a bomb-making manual at the home of a man detained in a sweep of suspected Islamic militants who allegedly plotted attacks in Paris, a newspaper reported Tuesday. Four people were detained Monday in the Loiret region south of Paris. Two of them are suspected of having links to convicted Islamic militant Safe Bourada, picked up in another wave of arrests last week, officials had said. At the home of one of the two suspects - both French converts to Islam in their 20s - investigators found documents showing how to make explosive devices, daily...

Today the United American Committee appointed Angel DiNardo the Texas UAC State Coordinator! In the ongoing battle against Islamic extremism in America, and a growing UAC member base in the state of Texas, the UACs Texas Chapter has now been founded. The United American Committee (http://www.UnitedAmericanCommittee.org) was founded to awake America to the threats which we face, and to awake Washington to the Islamofacist threat. The organization is currently working on legislature to introduce at the national level, and will be working to promote state legislature in Texas which stands strong against our Islamist enemies and those who support them....

There is one important difference between the Radical Left in America and the Radical Left in Israel. While in both cases they seek the destruction of their own country, the American Left, by and large, never came out in open endorsement of the crimes of "Taliban John" (John Walker Lindh) and denounced his collaboration with the enemy of their nation, while the Israeli Far Left contains many people knocking themselves over to line up to celebrate the crimes of the Israeli analogue to him, Tali Fahima. And now it turns out Tali Fahima has been on the PLO's payroll. While...

Canadian Government Pondering Reinstating MP Canned for Anti-Anerican Rampage OTTAWA, July 27, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Liberal Party of Canada may be reconsidering their decision to throw out Carolyn Parrish, the MP for Mississauga who made her career pandering to leftist anti-Americanism. The question remains open as to whether the party is reconsidering having also thrown out the extremism she represents. On the eve of the US Invasion of Iraq in 2003, Parrish was overheard saying she hated Americans and calling them "bastards." Then-Prime Minister Jean Chretien had little interest in improving relations with the US and dismissed demands that...

Calm down, I am not suggesting it, but just posing a legitimate question. Everything we are currently doing causes a backlash from the liberal circles as well as the moderate ones. We constantly draw complaints from the anti war movement that we are helping the terrorists recruit future terrorists. This silly way of thought deserves little attention, but what does deserve some attention is the question posed here. If the current war is doing more harm than good in some people’s opinions, or not doing enough, quickly enough, then what type of action should we take? I quickly disregard any...

Extremist cleric puts terror laws to the test By Philip Johnston, George Jones and John Steele (Filed: 19/07/2005) A planned visit to Britain next month by a Muslim cleric who has praised suicide bombings against Israel will become the first test of the Government's promised clampdown on extremist preachers after the London terrorist attacks. Qaradawi's visit to London last year at the invitation of Ken Livingstone outraged gay and Jewish groups Yusuf al-Qaradawi, 79, who is due to speak at a conference in Manchester, is banned from visiting America because of his links with the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood. But although...

<p>FBI agents monitored Web sites calling for protests against the 2004 political conventions in New York and Boston on behalf of the bureau's counterterrorism unit, according to FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.</p> <p>The American Civil Liberties Union pointed to the documents as evidence that the Bush administration has reacted to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States by blurring the distinction between terrorism and political protest. FBI officials defended the involvement of counterterrorism agents in providing security for the Republican and Democratic conventions as an administrative convenience.</p>

IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS after the horror in London on July 7, media in Britain and abroad focused considerable attention on "Londonistan"--the local zoo of Islamist agitators, almost entirely Arab, who have made headlines for years with their extremist preaching. Analytical lines, many of them useful, were drawn to al Qaeda and Iraq, but almost nobody looked at domestic Muslim extremism in the United Kingdom. Close observers of the British Islamic community, however, few of whom seem to have been consulted by reporters or the government, had been discussing for months a dramatic increase in radical agitation by Pakistani...

Sarajevo WHILE FRENCH AND DUTCH VOTERS are only now venting their discontent with the European Union, the Bosnians have held Brussels in contempt since the onset of their civil war, some 13 years ago. Back then, Europe actively obstructed Bosnian self-defense. The British and French instigated a U.N. weapons embargo that prevented the Bosnians from legally importing arms. A staggering 250,000 people were killed in the ensuing war (out of a population now around 4.5 million). In the decade since the massacre at Srebrenica, where Serbs slaughtered 8,000 Muslim men and boys, Brussels has ruled Bosnia, as provided for under...

In the absence of intellectual arguments, liberals in the media and in politics have increasingly reverted to name calling. When I was a boy, school children would inevitably begin calling each other names when frustrated or angry. "You're stupid," one would shout. "You're dumb," came the reply. "Well, well, you're so ugly your mother doesn't even love you." "She does too—and you don't even have a mother." As tempers flared, the kids searched for even more hurtful names, eventually stumbling into the aura of World War II which had engulfed the globe. "You're Hitler," was the "baddest" insult one could...

Now for you Freepers who have been around since the start, do you remember how we were tarred and feathered doing the Clinton Years, when we spoke out or confronted the liberal left? We were called hateful, bigoted and a few other names the Mods will not let me post, but now the creeps over at Air(less)America can play spots with gunshots towards the President, now if Rush or Hannity had done this doing the Clinton Years, not only would they have been investigated, but fired as well. Don't let yourself be fooled threats against the President are not covered...

Paul Krugman, writing in The New York Times, warns, “Democratic societies have a hard time dealing with extremists in their midst. The desire to show respect for other people's beliefs all too easily turns into denial: nobody wants to talk about the threat posed by those whose beliefs include contempt for democracy itself. We can see this failing clearly in other countries. In the Netherlands, for example, a culture of tolerance led the nation to ignore the growing influence of Islamic extremists until they turned murderous.” Krugman continues, “But it's also true of the United States, where dangerous extremists...

Spokesman Terry calls for action: We need EVERYONE READING THIS EMAIL to call Governor Jeb Bush RIGHT AWAY, and ask him to do one simple thing: "PLEASE EXERCISE YOUR LEGAL AUTHORITY, AND TAKE TERRI SCHIAVO INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY RIGHT AWAY." +++++++++++++++++++++++ ALERT: Wednesday was a rollercoaster of emotions for us, here in Tallahassee, Florida. We've lobbied the state Senators HARD this past week, trying to get just three swing votes to come our way. On Wednesday, the bill that could have saved Terri Schiavo from being starved to DEATH was defeated... by just three votes. There were a number of...

TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back. Prof Churchill may get fired from the University of Colorado-Bolder He may appear on March 1st, time pending, if the administration approves of it.

"Some People Push Back" On the Justice of Roosting Chickens written by Ward Churchill 9-11-2001 They did not license themselves to "target innocent civilians." There is simply no argument to be made that the Pentagon personnel killed on September 11 fill that bill. The building and those inside comprised military targets, pure and simple. As to those in the World Trade Center . . . Well, really. Let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial...

For proof one need either just pick a DUFU edition at random (including yesterday’s incredible DUmmie rant) or almost any thread in DUmmieland. Therefore it is hilarious that the DUmmies are OUTRAGED over being labeled as an extremist organization of the Left as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “DU is on par with Aryan Nation?” The DUmmies were labeled extremist on a par with Aryan Nation on this EXTREMIST ORGANIZATIONS website.

BERLIN - Police arrested 14 people during raids of apartments and mosques in five German states Wednesday in a crackdown on an Islamic extremist organization suspected of aiding terrorists, authorities said. About 700 officers conducted the raids, which capped a long investigation against 20 people suspected of operating a criminal network based in the southern city of Ulm, according to prosecutors....

WASHINGTON -- If you look closely, what is inside your child's textbooks may shock you. They are full of evolution theories, and many liberal historians are rewriting American history as well. But there is even more. How Islam is portrayed in today's textbooks is a subject of concern also. The familiar images of Islam include praying at Mecca, and the prophet Muhammad, a man Muslims say is the messenger of God. But this is not the whole story. When all is said and done, the story of Islam is being told and taught to our nation's school kids in their...

BERLIN (Reuters) - German authorities have arrested an Egyptian man they describe as a "known Islamist extremist" trained in Pakistan, and aim to expel him within weeks, officials said on Wednesday. The Bavarian Interior Ministry said the man, named only as Omar Y., was 21 years old and had lived in Germany since he was a child. He was arrested on Tuesday night and would be held in custody throughout the deportation proceedings to prevent him from disappearing. "The responsible authorities believe Y. took part in paramilitary training at a camp of the extremist Islamist organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan, and...

Rap lyrics about killing cops and raping women get your goat? You ain't heard nothing yet. Check out Dirty Kuffar, the latest hit music video from British rapper Sheikh Terra and his Soul Salah Crew. For those not in the know, "Kuffar" is what Muslims call a non-believer, "Salah" means righteousness or piety in Arabic, "Terra" is rap lingo for "terror," and the name of the group is an intentional rip-off of the name of British rap group "So Solid Crew." The lyrics brag about the attack on the World Trade Center, claim that Bush and Blair will be "thrown...

Russia’s Top Prosecutor Suggests Taking Hostages to Fight Terror Created: 29.10.2004 16:24 MSK (GMT +3), Updated: 18:02 MSK, 5 hours 31 minutes ago MosNews Russia’s Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov has proposed taking hostages as a possible measure to fight terrorism. “Detaining terrorists’ relatives during a terror attack would certainly help us save people,” Ustinov told the State Duma, speaking at a conference of law enforcement officials and law makers on the war on terror, the Russian Information Agency Novosti reported. In his address, he urged parliament to consider the issue as they revise the law on terrorism. In response, Duma...

The fact is Democrats are angry, desperate, and absolutely beside themselves at facing the prospect of another four years with George W. Bush as President. Frankly, I don' t blame them. With so much invested emotionally, it will be a crushing psychological blow for liberals to see Bush reelected a week from this Tuesday. Furthermore, if Bush wins big it could be a defeat that threatens the very foundations of the liberal movement itself. But even that is no excuse for some of the behavior we're seeing. It's no excuse for bending the rules, breaking the law, and generally treating...

Islamic leader hails Chechen attack Says similar operation would be justified in UK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: September 8, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Aaron Klein © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A UK-based Islamic extremist movement said that last week's abduction of Russian children by Chechen terrorists should be repeated in Britain. Al-Muhajiroun spiritual leader Omar Bakri hailed last week's attack on a school in southern Russia in which close to 400 people, including many children, were killed, and said that holding women and children hostages would be reasonable for a Muslim who has suffered under British rule. Bakri told The Sunday Telegraph, "If...

Michael Moore may be the Democratic Party's favorite filmmaker, but the Kerry-Edwards campaign wants nothing to do with him during next week's Democratic Convention in Boston. Asked about some of the angry Bush-bashing rhetoric coming from Hollywood these days, Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton told Westwood One radio host Ron Insana on Saturday, "I can't speak for every extremist out there. Michael Moore - these people aren't part of the Kerry campaign." But it turns out Clanton may have spoken too soon. Not only will Moore be descending on Boston during convention week to bask in the adulation of adoring...

Tories call on Blair to bar Muslim 'extremist' By Philip Johnston, Home Affairs Editor (Filed: 08/07/2004) A government drive against religious extremism was mired in controversy last night over the presence in Britain of a fundamentalist Muslim cleric who allegedly supports suicide bombings and beating women. On the day that David Blunkett proposed tougher laws against Islamists - and far-Right evangelical Christians - who preached hatred of other religions, the Home Office said it was not right to keep Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a Qatar-based imam, out of the country on the grounds of his views alone. Yusuf al-Qaradawi speaks in London...

European police arrest 17 in Madrid bombings AIDAN LEWIS ASSOCIATED PRESS ROME—In co-ordinated sweeps, Italian and Belgian police arrested at least 17 suspected Islamic extremists, including an Egyptian who was alleged to have a key role in the March 11 bombings in Madrid, authorities said yesterday. Officials at Spain's National Court said Rabei Osman Ahmed, 33, an Egyptian who was detained in Milan late Monday, was planning further attacks.

The extremist group wants to unite all predominantly ethnic Albanian-populated areas of the Balkans and has in...

Monday, May 10, 2004 Edwards slams abuse at Democrats' dinner By Gregory Korte The Cincinnati Enquirer COLUMBUS - The only way to send a message to the rest of the world that Americans emphatically reject the humiliating abuse of Iraqi prisoners is to elect John F. Kerry as president, Sen. John Edwards told Ohio Democrats at their annual dinner. "All of us - it goes without saying - condemn it. It goes against the values we hold as Americans. Just think about the damage it's doing to our image around the world," Edwards said Saturday night, adding that the prisoner...

BOMB-PLOT SON BRAINWASHED SAY FAMILY April 1, 2004 By Justine Smith, Alex Williams THE family of one of the eight men suspected of plotting a bomb outrage in Britain claimed last night their son had earlier been brainwashed by religious extremists. Omar Khyam was allegedly recruited by Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed's Al-Muhajiroun Islamic sect and taken to Pakistan four years ago. His uncle Sajjah Ahmad told how relatives wrestled him from the grip of the alleged fanatics after he fell under their spell while visiting a mosque in Crawley, West Sussex. Mr Ahmad claimed: "Omar was a normal kid until...

Extremists Behind Attack on Bush AdsJay Bryant (archive) March 10, 2004 | Print | SendThe outrageous attack on President Bush's television commercials was the work of an extreme left-wing group that has been in the forefront of the battle against the War on Terrorism for years, but you'd never know it from the coverage it has received in the establishment news media. By picking up the charge, rather than reporting on its dubious source, the media have done major damage to the President's campaign, which compounded the problem by "defending" the ads, rather than exposing the hateful anti-Americanism of those...

It is with great reluctance that I post this. I believe that the greatest shift in tactics has come upon us in the last 50 yrs. Terrorism is going to be the weapon of choice. Just as sending rows of soldiers across an open field would now be called crazy, I put it that conventional warfare will be deemed similar in but a few years. Israel has seen the brunt of terrorist tactics and responded in similar ways, less brute force, more covert small operations. The only difference is the field strengths of the enemy. More concentration of troops; an...

Justice Warns Against Civil Rights Apathy By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Thursday that people concerned about losing freedom to government anti-terrorism efforts should speak out. The Supreme Court is taking up several terror-related cases this spring, including challenges to the government detention of terror suspects without legal rights. Ginsburg, speaking to a group of women's rights lawyers, was asked if people's rights were in danger. "On important issues, like the balance between liberty and security, if the public doesn't care, then the security side is going to overweigh the...

Saying "life begins with the mother's decision," the retired general told the Manchester Union Leader he would never, as president, appoint a pro-life judge. "I don't believe people whose ideological agenda is to burn the law or remake the law or reshape it should be appointed whether they are from...

The soothing baritone rises effortlessly to navigate an exotic series of microtones and complex rhythmic cadences. The voice is that of Abdul Malik, imam of Oakland, California's Masjid Al-Islam mosque. He is delivering a prayerful invocation in perfect Arabic before followers of one of the most ancient religions of mankind – Islam. Soon he'll address a very contemporary subject: Media. Shatan's (Satan's) media, that is. The imam isn't alone in his criticism of media coverage of Islam in America. Out of the conflict and criticism have come loaded words like "prejudice," "intolerance," "civil rights," "terrorism," "militant," "radical" and "extremist." These...
