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!

Downcast Democrats turn to Hillary as Mideast Dominoes Tumble
by JohnHuang2

Can you believe what they've been saying about her lately? Boy, oh boy. They tell us she's smart. That's she's independent. Savvy. Articulate. That she's tough. Unflinching. Strong-willed. Well-read. Very experienced in government. Has great people skills. Can frame issues brilliantly. Knows her mind. Drives her enemies into paroxysms of babbling fury, while she remains poised and secure. Just look at the way she carries herself!

But enough about Condi. Just mention her name, and Hillary gets fainting spells. (On a more positive note, Hillary nabbed best actress Oscar as co-star in the fake Bill Clinton marriage.)

Take the dizzying four weeks since Condi Rice was sworn into her new job at State. Eight million Iraqis, braving bombs and bullets, turn out to vote for Bush's evil oil buddies, a massive show of defiance against Saddam's Baathist holdouts, al-Qaeda and the New York Times; in Lebanon, demonstrators take to the streets in huge numbers to protest Syrian occupation, demanding democracy modeled after the Great Satan's; Condi embarks on a hugely successful tour overseas, prompting a massive attack by Baathist holdouts at the Washington Post, calling her a 'Dominatrix', with her "pair of knee-high boots" with the "high, slender heel," her "black skirt that hit just above the knee" and "black coat that fell mid-calf"; Bush's European trip last week proved a smashing success; then, over the weekend, Egypt's Hosni Mubarak announces plans to hold open, multiparty elections for president and on Monday Syria's puppet government in Lebanon resigns, saying it wants to spend more time with its family. Never underestimate the impact of Condi's boots.

All of this on the heels of Damascus's recent announcement that it will pull all remaining troops from Lebanon and work to implement Security Council resolution 1559 which calls for withdrawal of all foreign troops from Lebanon -- obviously the result of pressure from Dominatrix.

On the other hand, Russia and Iran did sign a nuclear deal this week and a suicide car bomber blasted a throng of Iraqi police and national guard recruits on Monday, so it's not like all the news has been bad for Democrats.

Yet, even Bush's harshest critics concede there's been a sea-change since the Iraqi elections. Bush's visit to Europe was cast as 'fence- mending', but anyone with two synapses firing could see it was really a victory lap (though things got a bit testy at one point when Bush refused even a sip of Putin's Ukrainian soup). Saddam never purported his elections were democratic -- only American reporters did that -- so the sight of millions of Iraqis casting ballots freely, holding up purple fingers and dancing in the streets gave Hillary heartburn. Two years ago, during her tour of Iraq to boost morale, Hillary told a group of soldiers they were losing support back home and she wasn't convinced they could win. "We have to exert all of our efforts militarily, but the outcome is not assured," she told soldiers, patting them on the head. What a difference an election makes. Two years later, touring Iraq with John McCain, she pronounced the 'insurgency' a failure, meaning she's racked up more positions on Iraq than Kerry.

Speaking to reporters, Hillary made it clear she's rooting for America, rooting for our soldiers, and hoping for total victory in Iraq (a performance which won her a second best actress Oscar Sunday.)

Then, inserting her foot in mouth on Meet the Press, she said Iran may be influencing Iraq. But the 'problem', as the dimmest Iranian Mullah will tell you, appears to be the other way around: Iraq's fledgling democracy influencing the neighborhood. Freedom, striking at first in limited, contained outbreaks, mostly in Afghanistan, Palestine and Iraq, now threatens to spread to the whole Arab population. The epidemic is advancing so quickly, it's hard to keep up, even on an hour-to-hour basis. (At this pace, democracy could even reach the U.S. Senate, allowing votes on Bush's judges.) And to think this whole thing was cooked up by a 'dummy' who's been beating Democrats like rented Maureen Dowds for 10 years.

And the irony here. While Zarqawi and Teddy Kennedy hope car bombs in Baghdad halt the march of democracy there, a car bomb paves the way for democracy in Lebanon. The tumble of Mideast dominoes is every liberal's worse nightmare.

In fact, things are so bleak for Democrats, they're still talking about GANNONGATE. While Bush hunts down terrorists, Democrats hunt down Jeff Gannon. While Bush gives dictators dental exams, Democrats examine Gannon's sex life. Democrats say the problem isn't just that Gannon's gay, that he's also a security issue -- Democrats only want George Bush to be safe (if you believe that, I won an Oscar for . . . ) . That a "nut-job" like Gannon is such a threat to the President, Bush would be safer in the company of Howard Dean. And that Gannon is nothing but a 'mouthpiece' for Bush. Soooooo, Gannon is a threat to Bush and a stooge for Bush who should've been background checked for gayness and government should stay out of the bedroom (just in case you're confused).

And when not peeking through Gannon's bedroom window, Democrats are talking about Hillary '08. Hillary, who tried to take the White House with her to Chappaqua, thinks that America can't wait to have Clinton back in the White House. And her husband. In '04, Democrats ran a Northeastern liberal and lost, so the party could really use a Northeastern liberal. Hillary's already positioning herself as the Clinton who can keep her zipper zipped.

"I don't know if she'll run or not," Bill told reporters over the weekend (the subject never comes up!), adding that if you want someone who's "at least as good as I was," Hillary's your man. Bill can't find Hillary's presidential aspirations, but it was hard to find her billing records too, if I recall. Hillary wouldn't know where her private memos went, but she could find Osama. Didn't have a clue how she got into Whitewater, so she'd be great reforming intelligence. She made truckloads in cattle futures, doesn't know where the money went, so she'd be a natural with the budget. (Michael Jackson doesn't know how porno mags got into Neverland, so he can be Hillary's running-mate.)

"If she did run and she was able to win, she'd make a very, very good president," said Bill. He made his remarks while on a three-day visit to Japan last week. He then went to Singapore and Taiwan (after getting an 'ok' from his probation officer).

Democrats are confident that Hillary's candidacy means the next Commander-in-Chief will be a woman. And for once I agree. The woman's name is Condi Rice.

Anyway, that's...

Where To Look

Read:
Romans 8:35-39

Let us run . . . , looking unto Jesus. -Hebrews 12:1-2

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 10-12

Let's see. What is the crisis of the day? It could be terrorism and its random threat. Or the economy and the fear that we will run out of money before we run out of time. Maybe it's a personal crisis with no foreseeable solution-a tragedy or a failure too great to bear.

Before we fall under the weight of our accumulated fears, we would do well to look back to a 20th-century woman who bore sadness, pain, and heartache with grace.

Corrie ten Boom lived through the hellish life of Nazi concentration camps-a place where hope was lost for most people. She survived to tell her story of unfaltering faith and tight-fisted hope in God.

She saw the face of evil up close and personal. She saw some of the most inhumane acts man can do to man. And when she came out of it all, she said this: "If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within, you'll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you'll be at rest."

Where are you looking? Are you focusing on the world and its dangers? Are you gazing at yourself, hoping to find your own answers? Or are you looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith? (Hebrews 12:1-2). In an uncertain world, we must keep looking to Him. -Dave Branon

Looking to Jesus, my spirit is blest,
The world is in turmoil, in Him I have rest;
The sea of my life around me may roar,
When I look to Jesus, I hear it no more. -Anon.

When your world is falling apart, trust Jesus to hold it together.

Boo hoo, poor DUmmies. Can't everything just go WRONG so they can be happy again? (And isn't it telling that their agenda is centered around the U.S. failing? Thank God the good guys are in charge!)

Excellent work, JohnHuang2, as usual.

[phancypants]

Ack!
Too much Hillary, not enough Prozac!

:-)

[Temple Owl]

Hi Angel and JH. Another terrific essay. Thank you.

[dutchess]

John...yet another home run!!!

dansy...wonderful job as usual. You're just too good at this!!!!!! (((((dansy)))))

[FreeTheHostages]

LOL!! Great thread.

Hmm, I'll defer to The Mayor on whether today's calendar is theologically correct. But it's pretty!!

[dansangel]

((((((GailA))))))) and ((((((Rocky))))))))

JH2 definitely hit this one outta the park! Have a great day.

:-)

[dansangel]

Thanks ((((((SheLion))))))))

Uh, I *think* - LOL!!

Can you imagine having *that* in the White House 4 more years? Blecccccch!
:-)

[Diver Dave]

Poor ol' Hillary.
Once again the "victim" of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Great Essay, JH2 and the layout is terrific, dansy.
Keep up the good work!

[dansangel]

What is that thing around her neck in the subway picture? I had that same graphic hanging in my office for the longest time (got me some strange looks from the dim crowd I worked with) but never could figure out what that was.

Since you insist on ruining my appetite, here's one *just* for you:

Yuck! :-)

[dansangel]

Boo hoo, poor DUmmies. Can't everything just go WRONG so they can be happy again?

That's just about what it boils down to ((((((shezza)))))

I can hear the gnashing of teeth even as we speak. ;-)

[dansangel]

Ack!
Too much Hillary, not enough Prozac!

Here ya go (((((((phancypants))))))) - just for you! :-)

[dansangel]

Thank you ((((((Temple Owl)))))))
Always wonderful to *see* your smiling face! :-)

[dansangel]

When your world is falling apart, trust Jesus to hold it together.

God knows I am trying (((((((Rus)))))))))

Thank you for our daily dose of Scripture.

[dansangel]

Thank you ((((((((dutchess)))))))

You are the mistress of kind words! :-)

[dansangel]

Hey ((((((Freezie)))))))

It's always wonderful to see you.

Thank you for the calendar page! :-)

[SheLion]

That looks like one of the breathing masks or else a pair of head sets. I kinda lean toward a breathing mask. But never saw them come in pink before. LOL!

I have that same God awful picture you posted. You beat me to it. The Queen! Yea, right! YUK!

[dansangel]

Poor ol' Hillary.
Once again the "victim" of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

LOL - Makes you want to pass the crying towel, doesn't it?

Thank you for the kind words ((((((Diver Dave)))))))

[dansangel]

The Queen! Yea, right! YUK!

She's a legend in her own mind.

I kind of thought a mask, too, but the color threw me. Fuzzy ear muffs? Hmmmmmm.....

:-)

[Billie]

EEEUUUWWWW! Almost had to hold my nose and turn off graphics to get through this one! All those pictures of HILLARY!!!!!

Democrats are confident that Hillary's candidacy means the next Commander-in-Chief will be a woman. And for once I agree. The woman's name is Condi Rice.

It did have a happy ending though. :)

(no surprise!)

[phancypants]

Ahhh, thank you!

All better now :-)

[dansangel]

((((((Billie))))))))

It almost did warrant a *Barf Alert* didn't it?

But the ending more than made up for the yucky stuff in between.

Thank you for your vote of confidence. :-)

[dansangel]

All better now :-)

We aim to please! :-)

[Aquamarine]

This is hilarious (((John))) and the pictures fit this essay perfectly (((Dansy))).

Yep, the Mideast dominoes are tumbling...

[Billie]

Thank you for your vote of confidence. :-)

You are most welcome. :)

Where IS everybody today? Awfully quiet - TOO quiet!

[Billie]

Hi, Aqua - how's Miss DaisyMae today?

Neat dominoes!

[Aquamarine]

She's back to her old spunky self. :)

Found that cartoon on another thread and 'borrowed' it.

[Billie]

She's back to her old spunky self. :)

I'm glad to hear that! It's good they can usually bounce back so quickly.

[deadhead]

Excellent, kudos to both of you.

"Speaking to reporters, Hillary made it clear she's rooting for America, rooting for our soldiers, and hoping for total victory in Iraq"

That's it, I am voting for Hillary in 2008 ;-)

P.S. Wouldn't you just love watching Condi debate Hillary in 2008

Condi for President 2008

[Billie]

Condi for President 2008

Hi, Colleen - that would be something, wouldn't it! A Black AND a Woman for President for the first time in HISTORY!!!

On the other hand, what if Jeb decided to run?! WHOO HOO - keep the Bush Legacy alive 8 more years! :)

[deadhead]

On the other hand, what if Jeb decided to run?!

Jeb in 2008 would be great. It would drive the Dems and Libs crazy...LOL

[LUV W]

Great essay by John, especially talking about the election in Iraq and other countries over there wanting to emulate them--scary pics of Hitlery. I feel like I need a shower, too! Maybe this one will help get over the stench!

[LUV W]

Wouldn't you just love watching Condi debate Hillary in 2008

Just conjure up some of the looks and zingers she handed to Barbara Boxer at her confirmation hearing! She would make toast out of Hil!

[deadhead]

"Just conjure up some of the looks and zingers she handed to Barbara Boxer at her confirmation hearing! She would make toast out of Hil!"

LOL, she sure would!

[deadhead]

Guess who has to attend mandatory diversity training classes this year....yes me. I am dreading this so much. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks :-)

[LUV W]

Why are you having to attend something like that? I would be dreading it, too! I can imagine what kind of diversity they want you to be sensitive about--anything but normal! But,as they say--"what is normal"! /sarcasm

[WVNan]

On target as usual John. Love the Condi pictures angel. Condi is my hero. I wish she would run for president.

[WVNan]

Whatever for Colleen? Did you make a racist remark and have to go to "re-education" camp?

[LUV W]

Condi is my hero. I wish she would run for president.

Mine too! If she doesn't run, we might just have to write her in! Wouldn't she make an elegant, intelligent, whup-b*** prez?!!!

[dansangel]

Great graphic ((((((Aqua))))))

Thank you for the compliments!

[dansangel]

Where IS everybody today? Awfully quiet - TOO quiet!

It's unusually quiet.

Spooky!

[dansangel]

P.S. Wouldn't you just love watching Condi debate Hillary in 2008

It would be an absolute bloodbath (((((deadhead))))))

Hey, that's not such a bad thing, is it? :-)
