Howdy everyone!

Happy New Year!!

2005 was a great year and we're looking forward to an even greater 2006! The Iraqis have held their elections and as democracy and freedom takes hold, it appears the terrorist violence has greatly subsided. We're hoping that the war in Iraq is just about over and that as the Iraqis take over responsibility for their own security, our troops can finally come home. God bless them all. We pray for peace in the Middle East.

On the home front, we see President Bush's numbers on the upswing and our confidence is growing regarding continuing conservative successes in the midterm elections this Fall. Judge Samuel Alito should be confirmed for the Supreme Court in the next few weeks and our hopes for a more conservative court will soon be realized.

September 23, 2006 will mark Free Republic's 10th year anniversary. It's hard to believe that 10 years have passed by so quickly. Time flies when you're having fun. We've been blessed with many successes on Free Republic over the years and are praying for continuing success in the future.

Thank you all very much for making Free Republic the very best conservative site on the web!! FReepers are the greatest!!

May God bless you all with peace and prosperity in the new year and much happiness in all the years to come.

A city man was tooling down a country road when his car sputtered to a
complete stop near a field filled with cows. The driver, getting out to
see what was the matter, noticed one of the cows looking at him.

"I believe it's your radiator," said the  cow.

The man nearly jumped right out of his city slicker britches! He ran to
the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door.

"A cow just gave me advice about my car!" he shouted, waving his arms
frantically back toward the field.

The farmer nonchalantly leaned out beyond the door frame to glance down the field.

"The cow with two big black spots on it?" the farmer asked slowly.

"Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man replied.

"Oh.  Well, that's Ethyl," the farmer said, turning back to the man. "Don't pay any
Attention to her.  She doesn't know anything about cars."

[Lady Jag]

A doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients to a baseball game. For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands. When the day of the game arrived, everything went quite well. As the National Anthem started.......the doctor yelled, "Up Nuts" and the patients complied by standing up.

After the anthem ...he yelled, "Down Nuts" and they all sat back down in their seats.

After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, "Cheer Nuts". They all broke out into applause and cheered.

When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of the home team, the Doctor yelled, "Booooo Nuts!!!" and they all started booing and cat calling.

Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a beer and a
hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned, there was a riot
in progress.

Finding his tizzied assistant, the doctor asked, "What in the world happened?"

The assistant replied, "Well everything was going just fine until this guy
walked by and yelled, "PEANUTS!!"
