 The Republic of T.: Current Affairs
For the peoples of modern Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines the result was the eventual grabbing of the land, genocide and the present economic captivity.
For the peoples of the African Diaspora, the result was slavery, an evil and immoral system steeped in racism, economic exploitation, rape of mineral as well as human resources and national divisiveness along the lines of the colonizing nations.
For the peoples from Asia brought to work the land, torn from their families and culture by false promises of economic prosperity, the result was labor camps, discrimination and today's victimization of the descendants facing anti-Asian racism.

 The Republic of Utica
When told that the starving people of France had no bread to eat, she said, "let them eat cake." She was so divorced from the reality that she couldn't conceive that people would have NOTHING in their pantry.
The Republic of Utica will crown a deserving Marie Antoinette from the ranks of the Liberal elites who love to ride their private jets from the Hollywood Hills to the salons of Upper Manhattan, looking down their patrician noses at us dirty, bedraggled peasants in the Red States of "Flyover Country" with complete disdain.
People, don't make the mistake of believing that the judiciary has taken a few wrong turns and can be corrected.

 Islamic Republic of Iran v. United States of America: Application of 2 November 1992   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Islamic Republic has denied both allegations and will show in the subsequent submissions that they are devoid of any factual or legal merit, and are irrelevant to the hostile actions of the United States.
The Islamic Republic and the United States are both Members of the United Nations, and thus parties to the Statute which forms an integral part of the Charter (under Article 92 of the Charter).
Accordingly, the Islamic Republic submits that the requirements of Article XXI (2) of the Treaty of Amity for submitting a dispute to the Court are fully met and that the Court therefore has jurisdiction to rule on the Islamic Republic's claims.

I seem to remember that the Shah engendered some degree of discontent among the Iranian people (maybe it was the millions of people in the street overthrowing his government that gave me this impression), resulting in the present, anti-American, theocratic regime.
They had and USED chemical weapons on their own people and the Iranians, he was a threat that needed to be disposed of long ago.
People like Kerry and Hillary, true liberals, who have the brains to cultivate a mainstream image to get themselves elected are the best hope for the left.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
France established a "first republic" (of five) in 1792, the United States in 1776, Hungary in 1848 and again in 1945, China in 1912; yet today the word, though not uncommon, is problematical in every western language and in not a few non-western ones.
For example, the mere apposition, "princes and republics," is not sufficient to imply mutual exclusion of monarchy and republic, and is usually meant in a diplomatic sense, as a way of including all sovereign nations (as we would say now) in a phrase.
To the learned, the old meaning of republic might continue to act as an undertow on the new; but to most people who used the word, it was by 1750 no longer a technical term of philosophy or classical studies, even less a term from Italian Renaissance politics.

 The Washington Monthly
And at least half of the PR triumph is due to the tireless efforts of people who shriek as though the sky were falling at tiny losses or even hints of threats of tiny losses.
People who have exactly zero economic knowledge trumpet the rise of the all-market, all-trade economy because it is naturally more efficient, and, as we all know, the only possible goal of an economy is efficiency (irony alert for those who are challenged).
That 50,000 people each saving a buck on a sweater at Wal-Mart might be less an accomplishment than retaining a $50,000 job for an American worker is never even discussed, especially as we move toward a consumer economy with mysterious underpinnings.

 Evan Schaeffer's Legal Underground:
And that information should also be available to the public, so that people have a better understanding when they choose their doctors.
In order to make certain similarly situated people are treated in the same way, courts would have to publish their reasoning so that others could learn how the law is applied and rely on it.
A million point three intelligent, pitiless people are above the law, run 3 branches of government with control of physical enforcement, have no awareness of their lawlessness, have no awareness of their sick indoctrination, and feel morally superior, sincerely kidding themselves.

 Declaration of Calton Hill, 9th October 2004 Petition
We believe that sovereignty rests in the people and vow to fight for the right to govern ourselves for the benefit of all those living in Scotland today, tomorrow and in future times.
The Government of a country is servant to the people, not master of the people.
We aim for an independent Scottish Republic in which people may live with dignity and with self respect, free from exploitation, assuming the responsibilities of free women and men.

 War of Honor (A Honor Harrington Novel) Book at Shop Ireland
Where the previous books in the "Honorverse" were set against the backdrop of a looming or actual war between Honor's home nations (Manticore and Grayson) and successive dictatorial governments of the People's Republic of Haven, this book starts with the galaxy at peace and everyone wanting and expecting it to stay that way.
Consequently there is a much higher proportion of political manouvering than in the previous books: one cannot say whether there are any major battles without giving the ending away but one can say that there is not as much warfare as in previous books and this may disappoint some readers.
For example it is pretty obvious that the Peoples Republic of Haven is Revolutionary France when it was run by a Committee of Public Safety headed by people with names like Rob S Pierre and St Just.

 Francis W. Porretto - Eternity Road   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
That an increasingly smaller amount of people are aware of the effect their vote can have, let alone take the time to go and vote in the first place, will perhaps bring a quicker end to our grand experiment then any invading army or hidden agenda(s) of political parties from within.
Posted by Deb S. on 02/19/2005 at 03:48 PM Deb considering the amount of taxation we presently live under, would you consider that as “serving the people?” I mean at the very least, if people are going to have hundreds of dollars taken from their gross income, they should at least be able to vote.
As there are some people who are mentally, emotionally, or morally unable, or unwilling to serve in a military capacity, there are other forms of national service which are just as much a defense of our nation.

 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Op-ed / Farewell to 'the People's Republic'
The People's Republic of Cambridge was alive and kicking.
The problem is, Cambridge appears to be losing the very qualities that have made it unique, a haven for idealists and rebels, for thinkers and writers, for iconoclasts and visionaries, jobs that tend not to command much compensation.
I think for many who live in Cambridge what keeps them here is precisely this mix of characters, this openness to different ways of looking at the world and embrace of contrarian attitudes and ideologies.

 The Head Heeb: An irregular election
All these so-called Republics where the father has or is planning to pass the power on to his son (Syria, Azerbaijan, Egypt, etec.) are Monarchies by another name.
This is the Peoples Republic of Haven, (the Peeps, for short) whose "elected" President always comes from the same family.
Calling a police state Haven, besides the irony, may also be referring to the remark, by whom, I do not remember, that it is when people try to create a Heaven on Earth, ie Utopia, it is then what they create results in a Hell on Earth.

As to the issue of conflation, I would note that one of the biggests problems that people attempting to classify the insurgency have run into is that there is a great deal of back-and-forth membership between various groups, including those where membership would strike many analysts as mutually exclusive.

Even assuming she was right, that cold-blooded part of her which had enabled a disgraced admiral to survive for ten years through Haven's Pierre-Saint-Just-Ransom regime would have preferred an outright sadist to a sheer fanatic as the effective new head of State Security in La Martine sector.
Genevieve Chin and her people had been under the equivalent of a prison lockdown, with two ferocious State Security SDs standing guard over them while everyone waited for the young new warden to show up.
The first thing that struck Admiral Chin was that the head of Haven's State Security seemed a smaller man than she remembered.

The hostility of Arab and Islamic peoples to Israel, they claim, is motivated by their anti-Semitism, a hatred of Jews implanted by Islam itself.

As the largest voting bloc in the Republic Party, they are now the most powerful American supporters of Israeli Likudniks, seeking the expulsion of Palestinians from Israel and the Occupied Territories.

 - Chapter 9
Alvarez—and Brentworth—had two independent kills and four assists to their credit, but prey had gotten progressively scarcer over the last few months, and, in a way, the captain was almost grateful for the boredom of his present assignment.
Which wasn't particularly comforting to the people who were going to get killed in the course of it.
For some reason, the People's Republic of Haven had committed a deliberate violation of Alliance territory, and if the destruction of sensor platforms was hardly a life-or-death fight to the finish, it was still a provocation the Star Kingdom of Manticore couldn't possibly ignore.

The rapper’s desire to appear as an “authentic” participant in rap’s imagined community is at odds with the desire to be a star - a figure who transcends the everyday and thus becomes a focus for the escapist dreams of the listeners.

Weber has devised a stellar drive that has produced tactics similar to say the sailing ships that were used during the time of Nelson and the Battle of Trafalger.
Also with the developing relationships that Honor has with all the people she comes in contact with.
