A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Secret Tapes Say Bush Critics Smoked Wead
by JohnHuang2

The New York Times, still reeling from the 'JEFF GANNON STORY', a staggering and riveting tale of how a reporter in Washington was gay (and Bush did nothing to stop him), now says it finally has The Goods on Bush it's been waiting for, 'goods' damaging enough to deny him a third term. In a series of secretly recorded tapes, Bush, who didn't know he was being taped, is caught making very unguarded comments, such as admitting involvement in Christianity, including prayer and church-going. Bush is also caught saying he wasn't a saint 30 years ago, isn't fond of the press, nor of 'kicking gays'. (Dan Rather says that, if true, he'd like to break this story.)

The press, which is fond of kicking Bush, describes Doug Wead, the guy who secretly taped then governor Bush who was weighing a run for President, as Bush's 'trusted Christian friend'. Wead taped 9 hours of private conversations with Bush, without his consent, then leaked it to the New York Times, as all trusted Christian friends do. Now, compare this kindly gesture to that of 'back-stabber' Linda Tripp, who "betrayed" her good friend Monica who wanted Linda to lie under oath, as all good friends want. Showing that bad blood couldn't possibly be the motive, Wead worked for Bush's father. That's right, he worked for Bush's father -- until he got fired after complaining in a letter that gays were present at a bill-signing ceremony. And, during the 2000 campaign, loyal friend Wead loyally ran to the Washington Post to bad-mouth Bush top adviser, Karl Rove, saying Rove didn't trust him. (Someone not trusting Wead -- I can't imagine it.)

For the record, Wead says he never wanted the tapes made public, which is why he gave them to reporters and wrote a book, then appeared on 'Good Morning America' and CNN. No better way to keep your book and name under wraps than to appear on shows nobody watches. The book was released just after the new year, with sales holding steady -- right behind, How to Watch Paint Dry. Wead's book is about the parents of presidents, reaching all the way back to George Washington's, though Wead was not able to secretly tape George Washington. Wead denies being a scumbag trying to cash in, saying history made him do it. And Simon & Schuster. And he did it only in states where it's legal. And that he lost a million bucks by waiting until after the elections to be a scumbag. And, despite the publicity, his phone doesn't ring anymore. All because he sold his soul to the Devil (I should say, The New York Times.)

But are the tapes real? The White House does not dispute their authenticity. (And the Times confirmed it with an audio expert highly recommended by CBS.) John Kerry is waiting for a French translation.

In one juicy excerpt, reluctantly aired by every cable and broadcast outlet over a thousand times, Bush drops this political bombshell: "I want to be President, I want to lead." I collapsed on my fainting couch. In another excerpt, we learn how sneaky this guy Bush is. He's heard telling Wead what he'd like to tell Christian groups, which is what he later tells Christian groups, the trickster. The tapes show Bush's pattern of saying one thing privately, then saying the same thing publicly. On camera, Bush comes across as firm, but off camera Bush comes across as . . . firm. He also comes across as a man of deeply-rooted faith, integrity, humility and other bedrock values -- proving he's no better than Ronald Reagan. "I have a great wife," Bush tells Wead in one recorded exchange, showing Bush out of step with 'swing' voters. "And I read the Bible daily. The Bible is pretty good about keeping your ego in check." Regarding media rumors of past drug use, Bush, the first President in history to smell like a rose after release of secret tapes, told Wead that "rather than saying no -- I think it's time for someone to draw the line and look people in the eye and say, you know, 'I'm not going to participate in ugly rumors about me'" -- again, exactly what this trickster said publicly! But then came a major blow, the so-called 'Smoking Gun' tape, in which Bush reveals, "I'm a sinner."

To those still cynical about his motives, Wead notes that had he intended political harm, he'd have release the tapes before the elections -- and who could argue with that? Knowing what we know, unloading these tapes in October would have cost Kerry even Massachusetts.

So, while Democrats investigate Jeff Gannon's sex life and probe Larry Summer's tongue and look into the Rove-Gannon 'connection' and the Rove-Rathergate 'connection' and the Rove-Diebold 'connection' and the Rove-Bird Flu 'connection', all we have at the end of the day is this: Bush is 'outed' as a man of integrity by secret tapes which confirm that Bush is the Real Deal, a true grown up, a straight-shooter, a man who learns from mistakes and knows how to move on. In short, Liberals got taken to the cleaners -- again. Next up: Maurice Hinchey demands probe into Rove-Wead 'connection!'.

Anyway, that's...

LOL! Great one!

[MEG33]

Good Morning to the Finest! John is in fine form today!

May God bless and shield our men and women in the armed forces and bring them home safe.

Thank you to all who are serving our country.

[xp38]

Good Morning to all the Finest....a blessed day to everyone!

[phancypants]

Good morning! What a great read!

Did anyone catch the President live this morning from Slovakia?? He got rock star treatment from *New Europe*...it was great!

[NRA1995]

I first saw news of these "secret tapes" on a decidedly anti-Bush AOL headline. Do you notice how deafening the silence is now that there's no "there" there......(crickets chirping in the backgropund)

[TigersEye]

...all we have at the end of the day is this: Bush is 'outed' as a man of integrity by secret tapes which confirm that Bush is the Real Deal, a true grown up, a straight-shooter, a man who learns from mistakes and knows how to move on.

Great article! I think I feel more confident in the President than ever.

Stay out da Weads!

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

I am so glad your sharp wit in on the right side. Thank you for the information and amusing presentation. Keep it coming Finest.

Secret Tapes Say Bush Critics Smoked [Weed]

Having grown up in Southern California during the 1960's I have only one thing to say in responce to this horrible allegation:

Yawn.

I will bet the house on one this however, if he did do it, he sure as hell will also admit to inhaling.. ;)

[kAcknor]

house on one this however = house on this however

Not enough coffee / too much coffee...

Take your pick. ;)

Sing Of Your Love

Read:
Revelation 5:8-14

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever. -Psalm 89:1

Bible In One Year: Numbers 25-27

I was driving to work and listening to a local Christian radio station. Amid the usual morning banter came the song "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever."

I have no idea what came over me. As soon as this uplifting praise song began, I felt tears running down my face. There I was, almost at work, and I could hardly see to drive because of a song. What was going on?

I sat in my car after I arrived at my destination, trying to figure it out. Then it struck me. The song reminded me that while another day of normal activity was beginning here on earth, my daughter Melissa was fulfilling the ultimate hope of that song in heaven. I pictured her brightly singing of God's love-getting a head start on the rest of us in that forever song. It was a bittersweet moment of understanding Melissa's joy while being reminded again of our sadness in not having her with us.

Much of life is like that. Joys and sorrows intermingle-making reminders of God's glory so vital. We need those glimpses of a promising praise-filled future in our Savior's presence. In the sadnesses of life, we need the anticipation of joy-the joy that comes from singing of God's love and enjoying His presence forever. -Dave Branon

The saints of all ages in heaven sing praise
With voices and harps to the Ancient of Days;
No music on earth with that sound can compare,
Yet in that vast chorus our voices will share. -D. De Haan

Those who know Christ now will sing His praises forever.
