Opponents Let Loose On Former Mayor's Judgment NEW YORK (CBS) ― On Friday Bernard Kerik surrendered to federal authorities on a 16-count indictment, including charges of conspiracy and corruption. Now it's just a matter of time before we all see how much this case could plays a role in the race for president. It was a courthouse drama that reverberated through the presidential race. "This is a battle I'm going to fight," Kerik said. Kerik, who served as Rudy Giuliani's police commissioner and business partner, pleaded not guilty to corruption charges carrying 142 years in prison time. "It is...

WASHINGTON - President Bush challenged lawmakers on Friday to have the political courage to pass an immigration bill amid intense pressure from critics who call it amnesty and advocates who believe the current system is broken. Bush stressed that while voting for the bill might be politically risky, he does not think the measure itself is risky. "This is a difficult issue for a lot of folks," the president said. "I understand that. But because it's difficult probably means we need to work doubly hard to get it done. And now's the time to get it done. "No matter how...

can we kill the school lunch programs? can we tell the Dims, when they launch into the accusations of Republicans starving the old, the poor, and the children, to effectively shove it? can we kill all of the aid shipped to starving nations? can we tell Sally Struthers to quit being such a right-wing extremist for denying Third Worlders their state of bliss? can we finally de-canonize the homeless? can Michael Moore finally bathe, and see his feet?

I address this to real Catholic Freepers, and I am happy to greet friendly Anglicans and Orthodox Freepers. Terri Schindler's murder because of the decree of the State and the inaction of the State means our sister in Christ will likely die a martyr because of the Culture of Death.If and when this premeditated murder is completed, I would like us all to rally faithful Catholics everywhere to call upon the Church at every level to acclaim Terri as "Theresa Marie Schindler, Martyr for the Gospel of Life" If in time, Holy Mother Church will remember the ancient custom and...

The daughter of Bob and Mary Schindler has died, slowly executed by court order. Even in her death, the parents and their other children remain the example of peaceful forgiving Christians. While many Teri supporters angrily lash out at Michael Schiavo, George Felos, the court and even elected officials, the family asks for peace. And now they are asking only for the body of their daughter, which is also being legally denied. What beautiful people..... Or ---- is this 21st Century re-enactment of Uncle Tom's Cabin ? I know many people would be offended that I would make such a...

Just wanted to send out my best wishes to all of my friends who are champions of social justice - DU, ACLU, George Felos, Michael Schiavo, and their LEGION of helpers in MSM and other high places.

IS THERE A MYSTERIOUS DARK FORCE THAT HOVERS OVER THAT SPOT CALLED PINELLAS?There is a mysterious feeling around the Schiavo case, and we wish we knew what it was. The feeling is this: Pinellas County or parts of it seem to be under the oppression of a dark spirit. From Scripture we know that powers and principalities are the real force with which we contend, and that they hover over vicinities (see Daniel and the "prince of Persia").Is there one hovering over towns in that county, towns with names like Pinellas Park and Clearwater?These are places, of course, that figure...
