Free Republic

Video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7WJeqxuOfQ We have subversives in elected office and the State Department who are trying to cram as many people as they can into the U.S. Many of our large cities are already suffering from overpopulation. The U.S. passed the 300 million mark in 2000 and some demographers say our population will almost double by 2050 and, if immigration is not curtailed, exceed ONE BILLION before 2100. The last thing we need is more legal or illegal immigrants. If the American people don’t rise up and take action to get rid of the subversives who are trying to destabilize...

From the wire services: ? ? Democrats celebrate on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, March 23, 2007, after a sharply divided House of Representatives voted to order President Bush to bring combat troops home from Iraq next year. From left are, House Majority Whip James Clyburn of S.C., Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Md. The sad thing is we know why.They are celebrating our country's imminent defeat by terrorists.

The purpose of this thread will be to pool our resources and ideas to counter the attempted take-over of our nation’s capital and foreign policy. It is not the place to voice your disgust with those that feel it is necessary to present a street presence to counter the dregs of society seeking to undermine and destroy our country and our leadership. If that is your purpose, please move along. On January 27, 2007, Thunder90 posted a thread to advise us of the next convergence on our nations capital by the anti-American hate-mongers. This gives us SEVEN WEEKS to organize...

L.A.Times: Repeats Terrorist's Propaganda as News... Again! Posted by Warner Todd Huston on November 25, 2006 - 08:09. Patterico's Pontifications blog has done some stellar detective work on a particular L.A. Times story wherein the Times claims that U.S. forces attacked a town with an aerial strike that killed 30 Iraqis, including women and children. The Times also reported that widespread destruction resulted from this reported "bombardment". A Times correspondent in Ramadi said at least 15 homes were pulverized by aerial bombardment and families could be seen digging through the ruins with shovels and bare hands. Gruesome, eh? Problem is,...

To me, the relentless mud slide of insurgency and civil war in Iraq is leading to unacceptable strategic disaster for the U.S. There appear to be no viable paths to follow in order to avoid it. Neither "staying the course"--whatever that Bush strategy now means--nor the Democrats' idea of exiting by timetables offers a semblance of success. Both approaches produce only nightmares: general chaos; Iraq's center taken over by terrorists emboldened by victory over America, their pockets bulging with Iraqi oil money; southern Iraq controlled by pro-Iranians or Iran itself; and Iraq's neighbors picking at the nation's carcass until regional...

The Republicans are running scared. In the White House, on Capitol Hill and on the campaign trail, they're worried about losing control of Congress. And so the administration and the GOP have launched a desperate assault on Democrats and our position on the war in Iraq. Defeatists, they call us, and appeasers and -- oh so cleverly -- "Defeatocrats." Vice President Cheney has accused Democrats of "self-defeating pessimism." Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has faulted us for believing that "vicious extremists can be appeased." The White House calls Democrats the party of "cut and run." It's all baseless name-calling, and...

In a recent commentary, former New York Mayor Ed Koch - a Democrat with at least half a brain (which makes him the leading intellectual light of his party) - asked rhetorically, "Why do so many Americans refuse to face the fact that our country is at war with international terrorism?" Because they're liberals? During the Spanish Civil War, as the climactic battle for Madrid approached, Nationalist leader Francisco Franco told a reporter: "I have four columns marching on Madrid and a fifth within the city ready to rise at my call." Franco's comment gave rise to the World War...

Nobel Peace Prize Winners Take Aim at U.S. By CHASE SQUIRES, AP DENVER (Sept. 17) - Ten Nobel Peace Prize laureates chbishop called for world peace and took aim at U.S. policy makers, asking an enthusiastic crowd of 7,000 youth to demand that the United States pull back its military, spread its wealth and offer aid to developing countries. The Archbishop Desmond Tutu had stern words for the Bush administration. "Then how can you commit Guantanamo Bay? Take back your country," he said. Only the Dalai Lama, whose speech at the three-day PeaceJam convention at the University of Denver was...

There is a hue and cry coursing through the more ardent supporters of President Bush's Iraq policy and its mostly a matter of disturbed semantics. It seems those supporters, including Bush himself, Rumsfeld (naturally) and U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (more naturally) have pounced on the term "fascism" to be the easiest way to popularly press their suit for "staying the course" in Iraq. Their sense of history is most disappointing. From Rumsfeld most of all, who is the only one of this transformed trio to have lived during an era when democracy actually faced a do-or-die challenge from fascism. George...

Unless something changes soon, by the end of President Bush’s second term North Korea will have produced enough plutonium for 10 or more nuclear weapons while Iran’s scientists will be close to mastering the skills needed to build their own. That’s quite a legacy for a president sworn to keep the world’s most dangerous weapons out of the hands of the world’s most dangerous regimes. Even if the United States were not tied down in Iraq, military action would be a disaster. Besides, American analysts don’t know where North Korea has stashed its plutonium nor what technology Iran might have...

LONDON – Britain's secret intelligence service, MI6, has established the first proof al-Qaida is playing a major role in the new Cold War between North and South America – with Osama bin Laden's terror network seeing itself in league with Mexican subversives in infiltrating the U.S. border. The evidence emerged as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez swash-buckled into London after scoring a win in yet another venomous battle with Washington for influence and economic advantage across the Latin American continent. Chavez is in London to meet the capital's anti-Bush mayor, Ken Livingstone, and other prominent British opponents of the war in...

March,4,2006One Dangerous Feller: Senator Wants No SecretsDaniel Clark   When Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, W.Va.) accused President Bush of endangering America by releasing classified information, most conservatives simply laughed him off. That's certainly an understandable reaction, since Rockefeller accusing others of leaking government secrets is a little like his state's other senator, Robert Byrd, telling somebody to get to the point. The tactic behind this absurdity, however, is something that's got to be taken seriously. In a February 17th letter to Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte, Rockefeller wrote, "Given the administration's continuing abuse of intelligence information for political purposes,...

Why is it that liberals, progressives, leftists, humanists and the like seeking a brave new world for the rest of us often resort to lying or cheating to turn their vision into reality? Upton Sinclair was the socialist author of The Jungle in 1906. He meant his book as an attack on what he and other socialists termed “wage-slavery” but the book’s main claim to fame was as an exposé of unsanitary practices in the meat processing industry. It was Sinclair’s sort of writing that President Theodore Roosevelt termed as “muckraking.” Sinclair also wrote The Profits of Religion, a non-fiction...

“We must never forget . . . that as Muslims, we are obligated to desire, and when possible to participate in, the overthrow of any non-Islamic government—anywhere in the world – in order to replace it by an Islamic one,” the speaker concluded his remarks. The venue was a mosque, not in Rawalpindi or Jeddah but in San Francisco. When a recent convert noted that if Muslims are obligated to overthrow the U.S. government then accepting Islam was tantamount to an act of political treason, the lecturer responded matter-of-factly, “Yes, that’s true.” He was right both technically and substantively. A...

The Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Sign the call now!Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights. Your government is openly torturing people, and justifying it. Your government puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night. Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.Your government suppresses the science that doesn't fit its...

Closely watched by two police forces, the quiet farmer who calmly looks after the IRA's millions By David McKittrick 07 October 2005 Thomas "Slab" Murphy, the IRA leader suspected of having millions of pounds invested in property in Manchester, has for most of his republican career led a charmed life. He has never been convicted of any offence, despite the fact that for more than two decades every Northern Ireland secretary, every chief constable and every general has spent long hours pondering how to put him behind bars. In his home area of South Armagh and further afield, everyone knows...

Since learning in April that their son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq, life has been everything but normal for the Sheehan family of Vacaville. Casey's parents, Cindy and Patrick, as well as their three children, have attended event after event honoring the soldier both locally and abroad, received countless letters of support and fielded questions from reporters across the country. "That's the way our whole lives have been since April 4," Patrick said. "It's been surreal." But none of that prepared the family for the message left on their answering machine last week, inviting them to...

US congressman Peter King - who is dedicated to Irish-American affairs - has said he is certain that a statement from the IRA will be issued very soon. Mr King said he believes it will be extremely positive and a dramatic turning point in Irish history. Earlier, the Taoiseach said he believes we are within days of seeing an enormous change in the situation in Northern Ireland. Speaking in Galway, Bertie Ahern said he was hopeful that within the next 24 or 36 hours significant progress would be made towards full and final IRA decommissioning. He said he was not...

NEW YORK - The ouster of a respected editor at a Jesuit magazine has Roman Catholic scholars in the United States wondering whether Pope Benedict XVI will continue, or even extend, the disciplinary actions that John Paul II took against dissenters from church teachings. As head of the Vatican's all-important doctrinal office, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger built a reputation as the church's enforcer, taking actions with John Paul's assent against a series of high-profile theologians who drifted from Catholic orthodoxy. The final act of Ratzinger's tenure in his old job came in mid-March when, according to Jesuit sources, his...

While Americans continue to promote cultural diversity and religious tolerance as society's highest values, radical Muslims masquerading as "moderates" have insinuated themselves into the very fabric of American society, to the nation's extreme peril, says a startling new book by veteran investigative journalist Paul Sperry. For a limited time, WND readers can buy "Infiltration" at a steep discount, even below Amazon's price. "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington" reveals how Islamic extremists, taking advantage of Americans' blind trust and gaining footholds in the nation's education system, government, workplace, law enforcement and military, have been covertly working to...

Who Is 'Queering' America And Why? Linda Kimball "The heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart..." ~Eccl. 9:3 In the "American Dictionary Of The English Language, 1878," Noah Webster defined buggery as "a crime against nature; the unnatural and detestable crime of carnal intercourse of man or woman with a beast or of human beings unnaturally with each other; sodomy." And up until approximately 40 years ago all Americans believed that sodomy was unnatural and destestable and our society was such that it required people who engaged in it to keep...

I once again come out of a self-imposed exile to observe that in the most recent past, there have been an extraordinary number of posts that seem to be focused at the erosion of Free Republic. From exhortations about US immigration and border policies to whether or not "polls" were fair and worded appropriately. I am once again reminded that there are those that would prefer that Free Republic would just go away. Not only the DU retards that seem to spend most of their time dreaming up colorful ways of using obscenity in a mixed metaphor environment, and applying...

Wanna get snarky? (from the site:) To win back Congress and the White House in the next four years, Democrats need to take action now. As Republicans celebrate Bush's inauguration, we organize, preparing to make the next four years see the biggest groundswell of grassroots resistance a president has ever faced. Protestors in DC tell Bush he has no mandate. You can help. Attend a DNC Regional Caucus in Sacramento this Saturday, or New York City on the 29th. Hear the DNC Chair candidates' plans and let delegates know that we want a Chairman who stands for the grassroots. Raise...

London 28.12.04 | The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly to analyse the existing relationship between Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and to show the ideological, political, financial and personal evidence that demonstrates, beyond reasonable doubt, that indeed Chavez’ revolution is modelled on a Castroite method of governance, based on brutal repression of human rights as established in the International Human Right Declaration. Secondly to explore into the international support base of the duality Chavez-Castro.

A Chicago man has launched a website to mobilize millions of Americans to consign the American Civil Liberties Union to the "ash heap of history." The ACLU, says the website StopThe ACLU.org, is "relentlessly and fiercely assaulting America's foundations by feverishly working through activist court systems to impose same-sex marriage and remove all vestiges of the Ten Commandments wherever they may be posted." Nedd Kareiva says his two main goals are to send 1 million letters to the ACLU's headquarters in New York and to coordinate a march of 1 million Americans at each ACLU office in the nation. As...

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. MoveOn.Org, the immensely popular anti-Bush website designed to help elect Senator John Kerry, has posted a list of "victories" designed to rally its rapidly-fading fanbase. Among the 7 listed "victories" they take credit for, the most eye-catching were a Senate approval of an amendment providing guidelines for US treatment of foreign POWs (in response to the Abu Ghraib scandal), and the failure of a Federal Marriage Amendment. While these accomplishments may seem significant for MoveOn and its followers, they are really no victories at all. The United States of America has maintained a track...

For education and discussion only. Not for commercial use. One vote 2004: A mother speaks While she attended her first political march at Kent State during the controversial shooting incident in 1970, Karen Deutsch replaced her quiet nature with political activism. A product of a strict upbringing, Deutsch said she was not used to voicing her opinions at home. She said she was very quiet because of the atmosphere created by her family. "My country right or wrong," Deutsch said. "That's what my mom used to say." But since then, Deutsch has begun to question her government and vocally oppose...

E-Mail #1 Dear MoveOn Member,We strongly urge you to watch the debate tonight between John Kerry and George Bush. A lot of people will be tuned in, and their conclusion about who came out on top may seal their decision about who to vote for. They'll listen to you when you talk about this. If each of the 2.8 million MoveOn members watches these debates, and then gets out and promotes our candidate's positions, values and character, we could make all the difference. Your informed, personal endorsement of John Kerry carries more weight than you know.Political operatives in Washington consistently...

Members of the next incoming freshman class at Brown University will enjoy a new option when it comes to on-campus housing: what the school calls a “gender-neutral option.” Students selecting that option will live in a dorm with “lockable bathrooms for use by one person.” While we all like our privacy, just what kind of student requires these special accommodations? The answer: The newest fashionable minority on colleges campuses, “transgender students.” Fifty years ago, George Jorgensen stunned the world when he checked into a Copenhagen hospital and left as Christine Jorgensen after the world’s first sex-change surgery. Until recently, claims...

  Subtle Subversion The concepts of, "public debate," and, "tolerance for opposing views," is today used as a tool of subversion. Subvert means to undermine or corrupt. When so-called, "conservative," media allow themselves to be used as a platform for collectivist and socialist views, the principles of individual liberty and republican limited government are corrupted.The recent example of the supposedly conservative New Hampshire newspaper, The Union Leader article, "Al-Qaida is not the mafia, it’s an ideological movement" By Peter Bergen, is also an example of the subtlety by which the leftist subversion is being put over.The first impression is that...

Marriage, says BYU law professor Richard G. Wilkins, "has always been about one sexual relationship -- the union of a man and a woman." Of course, this would be news to Brigham Young, who said "I do" to some 56 women.     Consider the furor and outrage Mormon polygamy evoked in the 19th century.     The laws sanctifying the one-man, one-woman model of marriage had forced millions upon millions of women "to become a prey to man's lust and a consuming sacrifice upon the altar of illicit passion," the Deseret Evening News thundered in December 1885.     "One man to...

<p>The primary organization representing American anthropologists criticized President Bush's proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage Thursday and gave a failing grade to the president's understanding of human cultures.</p> <p>"The results of more than a century of anthropological research on households, kinship relationships and families, across cultures and through time, provide no support whatsoever for the view that either civilization or viable social orders depend upon marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution," said the executive board of the 11,000-member American Anthropological Association.</p>

IFI Condemns 'Planned Subversion' of IL Marriage Law by Cook County Clerk and Chicago Homosexual Lobby 2/27/04 11:27:00 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: State Desk Contact: Deb Schloemer, 630-790-8370, or Peter LaBarbera, 630-717-7631, both of the Illinois Family Institute; http://www.illinoisfamily.org GLEN ELLYN, Ill., Feb. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Illinois Family Institute Executive Director Peter LaBarbera today condemned the "planned subversion" of the state's marriage law defining marriage as between a man and a woman, and criticized Cook County Clerk David Orr for referring to the law he hopes to overturn as Illinois' "perceived" marriage law.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Rosie O'Donnell married her longtime girlfriend Thursday, taking what she called a proud stand for gay civil rights in the city where more than 3,300 other same-sex couples have tied the knot since Feb. 12. "I want to thank the city of San Francisco for this amazing stance the mayor has taken for all the people here, not just us but all the thousands and thousands of loving, law-abiding couples," the former talk show host, holding a large bouquet of purple and yellow flowers, said after she and Kelli Carpenter emerged from their brief ceremony inside...

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom touched off a defiant outburst of matrimony 10 days ago when he decided his city would issue marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. These marriages -- now more than 3,000 -- are also one of the most flagrant acts of mass civil disobedience in recent years. The freedom-to-marry movement has long grounded its cause in the rhetoric and precedents of the American civil rights movement. As she began her arguments for gay marriage before the Vermont Supreme Court in 1998, lawyer Beth Robinson cited a landmark case from 1948, when the California Supreme Court...

Like many other states, Georgia is in a dire budget crunch -- cutting money for health care for the poor, parks, college professors and state troopers. Though the state longs to get its school children out of the academic cellar, it is cutting funds that would shrink the size of classes and improve the climate for learning. So what is so critical that it dominates debate at the Legislature this session instead? The issue that has consumed contentious hours of talk and testimony is gay marriage -- or, rather, "protecting" traditional marriage from same-sex unions. After public hearings that drew...

Photographer Barbara Nitke approached the subject of sadomasochism from the perspective of an unknowing observer. She discovered that her assumptions about the kinds of people who engaged in the behavior were wrong. "I thought if you were interested in it, it had to be because you had some traumatic childhood experience that reshaped your love life in a certain way. That was my theory, and it was quickly disproven," said Nitke, who will be at Radiant Light Gallery in Portland Friday to sign and discuss her newly published photography book, "Kiss of Fire: A Romantic View of Sadomasochism." An exhibition...

In recent years, the battle of the sexes has escalated into a full-fledged gender war. This conflict is playing out in the boardroom, the courtroom, and the bedroom. What is the origin of this feminist assault? And as early as 1886, Eleanor Marx, youngest daughter of Karl, issued this indictment: "Women are the creatures of an organised tyranny of men, as the workers are the creatures of an organised tyranny of idlers." The linkage between socialism and American feminism can be traced back to the earliest years: Susan B. Anthony held a 1905 meeting with Eugene Debs, perennial socialist candidate...

From the "Human Shields" website today (16 April 2003):( Human Shield') "Uzma Bashir Threatened by U.S. Marines in Baghdad Uzma Bashir, a Human Shield volunteer in Baghdad, confronted imperial troops as they entered Baghdad last week. She wanted to know, from U.S. Marines, what it felt like to murder Iraqi children. Uzma has subsequently been physically threatened by U.S. Marines and we have received thinly veiled threats via our website from people saying they belong to the U.S. military:" (goes on to list 'threats')

The communists and subversives took over in the 1970's and when Gene & I yelled about Angela Davis given a teaching position in UCLA everyone laughed at us and called us all kinds of names. Now they are reaping what they sowed. When Reagan went after the communists in the entertainment industry they hissed and hated him until this day. But Reagan was right. And when the anti-war bunch of draft-dodgers took over the Universities in the early 70's and they were not expelled and they were not arrested and they just got a pat on the back and a...

Press Release Center of Peace Research (CIP/FUHEM) No War: The Multilateral System Must Be Reinforced Madrid, • The mounting war against Iraq is unjust.
