About LFR 15 YEARS

The Let Freedom Ring blog had a 15 year run until hackers and hosting issues finally ended its run in March 2021. This new static blog takes its place, re-publishing that robust collection of posts. As with any long-running blog, many of the links are no longer valid and a number of embedded images were lost. But the text is all here, with some minor editing as needed to be Blogger compatible. Some of the comments are also included.

For now, searching by date, name, event, or topic is generally not available.

Again, this is up through March of 2021. The next 15 years have begun at the Liberty & Prosperity Blog.

From the author's About page (2006):

Let Freedom Ring Blog gets its name because there was a lot of democracy breaking out worldwide when I first started blogging.
  • Putin, Kuchma & Yanukovich had tried stealing an election from Yuschchenko in the Ukraine, which started the Orange Revolution.
  • The first election had just taken place in Afghanistan.
  • The 'Purple Finger' elections in Iraq were right around the corner.
  • The images of the ink-stained fingers from Iraq's election on January 30, 2005 so fired up the Lebanese living under Syria's thumb that the Syrians assassinated Rafiq Harriri, starting the Cedar Revolution.

Incredible history was being made before my eyes. I've written about Kuwait becoming the first Arab country to have a woman serving in their cabinet. I've written about the municipal elections that the House of Saud 'permitted' just last year. I've written about Egypt's changing their laws to have contested elections. There's still a lot of reform needed in these countries but I believe that the 21st Century will be known as the Democracy Century when its history is written.

Just as there are historical events happening in the Middle East, likewise there are historical decisions facing Americans, decisions that determine what type of country we'll live in.

The types of judges that get confirmed will tell us whether we're a nation that reveres the wisdom of our Founding Fathers or if we'll tolerate a majority of Supreme Court justices dictate the Constitution's meaning. Should we choose the latter course, we should expect that Supreme Court to set policy without 'We the People' having a say in the policies.

The next President, and to a lesser extent, the next Congress, will tell us whether we're serious as a nation of enforcing our borders and whether we'll take the Global War on Terror seriously. The stakes couldn't be higher!!! 

Making the right decisions in November, 2006 will determine whether we have Chairman Jim Sensenbrenner demanding real immigration reform or whether Chairman Conyers will hold impeachment hearings over a policy dispute.

Making the right decisions in November, 2006 will determine whether we have Chairman Leahy confirming a Justice O'Connor clone or whether we have Chairman Specter confirming a Chief Justice Roberts.

While those decisions don't rank up there with the decision to declare our independance from English rule, they are nonetheless big decisions that will affect this generation and much of the next generation of Americans.

This blog is committed to being an advocate for making decisions using logic, intelligence and verifiable facts. Come along for the ride.

Snow Rebuts Misinformation

According to this Bill Sammon article , Tony Snow isn't letting the Agenda Media get away with their misinformation campaign. Here's a sampling of his first rebuttals: "CBS News misleadingly reports that only 8 million seniors have signed up for Medicare prescription drug coverage," Wednesday's missive said. But 37 million seniors have coverage. ---------- On Tuesday, the White House railed against USA Today's misleading Medicare story. "USA Today claims poor, often minority Medicare beneficiaries are not enrolling in Medicare drug coverage," the press office complained. But by April, more than 70 percent of eligible African Americans, more than 70 percent of eligible Hispanics, and more than 75 percent of eligible Asian Americans are enrolled or have retiree drug coverage. Thank God for Tony. This is the best hiring in ages. No longer will reporters get away with their misinformation because Tony is an admitted "information
