Howdy everyone!
Woo hoo!! Are you ready for a FReepathon?!
Well, we do indeed live in interesting times. This is the weekend that the treasonous liberals, RINOs and turncoats were going to work overtime to ramrod the amnesty bill through and it looked like they had everything going their way, but a funny thing happened on the way to the Senate. Hundreds of thousands of outraged grassroots conservatives united, mobilized and turned out to instill the fear of voter rebellion into the minds of the weak and vulnerable fence sitters and would be turncoats, and courage into the hearts of the stalwart conservative senators. And, lo and behold, the cursed sovereignty threatening bill was killed. Oohrah!!
Congratulations and thank you FReepers and grassroots conservatives all across the fruited plains! Without your magnificent performance, our borders would have been erased, our national sovereignty lost, and all chances of ever electing a conservative government again gone forever. Conservatism is definitely alive and kicking in America! And Free Republic is alive and still kicking liberal butt on the Net!!
Recently, a cabal of RINOs and moderates on FR tried to convince us that conservatism is dead. That America had rejected conservatism and therefore we must elect moderates who will govern from the middle, ie, from the left of center. Conservatives had held their boot to the neck of the GOP for too long, they said. And they declared the only "electable" Republican for president is the abortion/gay activist, gun grabbing, illegal alien pandering NY liberal, Rudy Giuliani. Well, we put the kibosh to them, and last week's defeat of the libs and RINOs puts the kibosh to their defeatist liberal ideas.
RudyMcRomney is now falling and a new star is rising. FRed is now the only major candidate with momentum gathering in the right direction and he hasn't even declared yet. Got a feeling that soon after he declares, he'll be blasting the doors off the competition. FRed is an unabashed conservative. And he's got a great conservative record, is well-versed on all our issues, is articulate, charismatic and popular with the people. And he is the Rudy killer! Once Rudy and McCain's campaigns are sunk, all conservative boats will rise. Unlike RudyMcRomney, Thompson/Hunter are not the media's choice. Nor are they the Republican leadership's choice. They're the grassroots conservatives' choice! Great concept, eh?
We were kind of down in the dumps after the 2006 fiasco and then having turncoat RINOs and liberals as our so-called front runners for so long, but now that we have fine conservatives like Thompson, Hunter, Tancredo, et al, making solid progress, and after having witnessed the actions of rhe grassroots conservatives during the last few weeks, I'm starting to get optimistic about our chances. Looks like we will be electing conservatives after all, and we will continue putting conservatives on the court and we will begin making headway against the liberals!
Yes, grassroots conservatism is alive and well. It's united, mobilized, energized, and locked and loaded for action. It's about to take the nation by storm. Hold on to your hats!!
And as a result of all of the above, Free Republic is stronger, more conservative, and more focused than ever before. The libs and moderates have left for WAnkers.net and conservatives are uniting and gaining strength on FR.
If your interests and goals include defending Life and Liberty, defending the constitution and our freedoms, defending our national sovereignty and securing our borders, fighting the libs and advancing our conservative causes and candidates, then FR is the place to be in the months ahead. Free Republic IS the premier conservative news and discussion site!
And as always, we are most grateful and appreciative of your support.
God bless America, God bless our troops and God bless you all.
Happy Independence Day Everyone!!

Earthquake, weather information part of Honda's car navigation system upgrade
Published: July 4, 2007
TOKYO: Honda's car navigation system already maps the quickest route to a destination, avoiding traffic jams. Now, drivers will get information about earthquakes and warnings of heavy rainfall ahead on roads.
Honda Motor Co.'s service, shown to reporters Wednesday, will be offered starting with the remodeled Fit subcompact going on sale in Japan later this year. There are no plans so far to offer it overseas, executive Manabu Nishimae said.
"We believe information services are an important part of a car's quality," he told reporters.
The service is free, but drivers pay mobile phone bills for relaying data. Data transmission cards for a set monthly fee of 1,000 yen (US$8; $6) are available for frequent users. About 530,000 drivers use the current navigation service in Japan, or about 40 percent of Honda owners.
With the latest upgrade, e-mail warnings will be sent to a pre-assigned address when car with the system is in an area of a strong earthquake — handy in a quake-prone nation. If heavy rain is forecast on a planned route, icons of exclamation marks pop up on the monitor.
Japan's No. 2 automaker also upgraded its map system so updates take just a few minutes to download. Up to now, disks with map data had to be changed...
