The Angry Republic: Osama

New bin Laden tape sends mixed messages

You know, I listened to the bin Laden tape. There were some good songs. But much of it was hard to dance to. I only give it a 64.

(Sorry, lame-ass reference to the old Dick Clark's American Bandstand)

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Jazeera on Thursday broadcast portions of an audiotape purportedly from Osama bin Laden, saying al-Qaida is making preparations for attacks in the United States but also holding out the possibility of a truce.

Osama bin Laden said:

"We do not mind offering you a long-term truce with fair conditions that we adhere to," he added. "We are a nation that God has forbidden to lie and cheat."

Oh.. So.. Killing thousands of innocent people is OK. Just so you do not lie and cheat while you are doing it.

What's really scary is the effect the new Osama CD is having on some people..

Oh.. NO. I'm hypnotized!!

Spotlight on Ronald Reagan- Famous Quotes

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we've ever known.

Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.

Facts are stubborn things.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Ronald Reagan

The GAME just isn’t fair, (or- we do not play to win)

How can we compete against BIG companies and special interest groups who have lobbyists and ca$h to sway politician’s votes? We could compete if we pool all of our money and band together. Picture 1 million voters, who were going to give $100 bucks each to a political party, putting their money together, for one LARGE sum. Instead of just giving that money to the political party, we pool it together in a promise, hire our own lobbyist, and go after the politician(s). “You have to vote the way we want, or you lose $100 million bucks.” They would have to listen to us because that is far more than any labor union’s donation (in a given year), any large corporation’s donation, etc. As long as we are one little vote with a hundred dollar bill, politicians will take our money, smile; and continue to screw us. BUT, if we are millions of votes, holding $100 million dollars in campaign cash, they cannot ignore us. AR Babonie

Welcome to The Angry Republic News Site

I created this site for very selfish reasons. I wanted to save time. In my enjoyment of following politics, I wanted a site which would give me the top news stories from the top political media in the business. From Fox, to the NY Times. From Hot Air, to the Huffington Post. From msnbc, to Glenn Beck’s “The Blaze.” I am a conservative, however I want to know what the other guys are talking about. There isn’t a web site out there that focuses on BOTH sides, plus looks at history, famous quotes; and delivers original editorials. I hope you will enjoy it. I have come to rely on this site for my morning news. Thanks for stopping by. AR Babonie
