    As one who is distressed hearing the Urban Legends pouring from the mouth of a popular minister, I think it is important to document how he cleverly weaves stories which many either want to believe or can be swayed to believe, but are not true. Please post and document the Urban Legends, lies and distortions you find.

    A 62-year-old woman known as the "Black Widow" is being held in a North Carolina jail on $1.5 million bond for relatively petty charges, while police race to unravel a web of mysteries — including the deaths of her two husbands and a female "best friend" — before time runs out and "she's outta here."

    The following can also be found at The Perspective (link above) With all of the Media caterwauling about FEMA's "slow" response to Hurricane Katrina (three days), I thought I'd put the media's bias in proper perspective. Imagine turning to CNN an seeing the following: NEWS ANCHOR: We now go live to Israel where our own Christine Ammonpour is standing by with a report. Christine? AMMONPOUR: Yes, I'm standing just outside of Jerusalem at a place called Golgotha. I'm here with Jesus bar Joseph, a preacher from Nazareth who just this past Sunday rose from the dead. This was after a...

    I have posted this at my website (link above). "The value of liberty was thus enhanced in our estimation by the difficulty of its attainment, and the worth of characters appreciated by the trial of adversity." --George Washington There have been several people, from politicians to pundits, that have opined about how to--or whether to-- rebuild the city of New Orleans. Right here and now, I will take a stand: REBUILD THE CITY. In the wake of a natural disaster of epic proportions, we also now have an opportunity of epic proportions. Not since the era of the Great Depression...
  • Cardinals and Niners to meet in Mexico City for Regular season game.

    03/15/2005 11:18:02 AM PST · by ladrones · 11 replies · 406+ views
    Two league sources confirmed Tuesday that the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers will meet in an Oct. 2 regular-season game in Mexico City. The matchup, first reported by The Arizona Republic in its Tuesday editions, will be the NFL's initial regular-season game played outside the United States. The lone remaining element to be addressed is firming up some details with television partners in Mexico, a league source said, and that is considered a formality. The NFL expects to formally announce the game, the potential for which was first broached by commissioner Paul Tagliabue at his pre-Super Bowl news conference,...

    Bush Speech Urging Health Care Initiative WASHINGTON - Campaign 2004 officially under way, President Bush will use his State of the Union address Tuesday night to propose measures he says would bring millions of uninsured onto the health care rolls, while urging Americans to stand behind him in the war on terrorism. Bush will take advantage of the high-visibility speech to the nation to highlight his election-year agenda, a day after Democrats formally kicked off their presidential nomination selection process in the Iowa caucuses. Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts and John Edwards of North Carolina rode late surges to a...

    Welcome to the New Free Republic Donation System! John has programmed a great new donation system for us. It can accept credit cards or PayPal donations and will eventually also accept electronic checks.

I've changed the links on our front page to link to the new program: Donate Here By Secure Server If you have bookmarks to the old system, please update to the new. The old system...
