Free Republic

I'm posted "I was once prochoice...GOD showed me! GOD also gave me wireless energy saving inventions which I list on the "Personal Page of Ernestine Standberry" i.e. Geocities.com/loudproductions60609! I applied for a Grant with the U.S. Department of Energy...on my grant application were the "wireless iron," the "wireless hair-blowdryer" the "wireless hotplate," and the "wireless clock/lamp/radio combination" all with removable digital AC/DC! Mr. James P. Damn from the Energy Department called my home after writing me a letter stating that I received a "YES" on Merit but "We will not give you the money." The "wireless iron" is now in...

I just got done reading the Village Voice piece on Clarke by George Smith. Smith, a faithful democrat, is being widely quoted as a Clarke detractor by those made uncomfortable by Clarke's book and testimony. The thing is, the criticism Smith made of Clarke was done over a year ago and was on the subject of cyberterrorism -- not the sort of terrorism that brought down the world trade buildings. Smith is a pundit on cybersecurity. His thoughts on Clarke are taken out of context in time and subject by those desperately seeking some means to rescue the Bush campaign's...

I was hoping, with a name like Free Republic, that this would be a place for intelligent debate of political issues. Unfortunately, I miscalculated. After vaguely disagreeing with someone over an issue, I was repeatedly called a "troll" and promptly banned from posting. I tried again several hours later only to meet the same fate. Is everyone here aware of the fact that sometimes, from opposing points of view, one is able to learn something? That fact works in both ways too, meaning I, as an opposing point of view, could possibly learn a few things from you. Instead, you...

I have been a registered Democrat all my life. My family are from Arkansas via Tennessee, Kentucky and Virgina. My ancestors fought against Lincoln in the Civil War and the entire family has been Democrat ever since. But prior to that ... fought in the Revolutionary war. I believe in God and bear allegiance to America, liberty, freedom, and the Constitution of the United States of America - not some political party. And so for the last time I'm gonna tell you, this website is for the Constitution, not your bloodsucking party. In other words, kwitchyurbellyakin or bailthehellout!

Gay marriage is fast becoming Sen. John F. Kerry's campaign albatross, with a firm stance on either side threatening a swath of voters that could cost him the election. At once yesterday, Kerry was out-flanked on both sides of the political spectrum. From Kerry's right, President Bush [related, bio] rallied evangelical Christians to his anti-gay marriage cause. And from his left, gay Democrats threatened Kerry with a lost core constituency if he doesn't back their ``right'' to marry. ``People are making up their minds about John Kerry [related, bio] right now,'' said Walter De Vries, executive director of the Institute...

This guy i go to school with hear at iu made this web site iudaybyday.blogspot.com and he already has a bunch of people mad

I'm an Orthodox Jew and have been skeptical about the entire marriage debate. Jewish law does not recognize ANY marriage that includes a non-Jew, whatever the genders. The Bible, of course, never describes marriage except for the obligations of divorce if a man has "taken awife/woman." I was amazed, though, by my own reactions to the joy, peace and conviction of the gay couples I have seen getting married. I wept. I have searched my heart and mind for any conservative value that conflicts with acts of assuming responsibility for another person and a relationship under law that I have...

Vile Ann Coulter smears a war hero Joe Conason - The New York Observer 02.18.04 - Finding the bottom of American politics these days is as easy as looking up the latest column by Ann Coulter. In fact, it’s the same thing. Her act may be wearing thin now that she has accused half of the population of treason, but don’t underestimate the kooky commentator. Just the other day, she again managed to shock the conscience of any decent citizen who happened to read her latest screed. Her current target is Max Cleland, the former United States Senator who left...

Under Bush's presidency, Corporate America slashed paychecks that took you years to earn. They have cancelled holidays, including Good Friday -- they are trying to cancel the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it seems. They have cut sick pay, rewritten family leave laws, cancelled bathroom breaks. It is even beginning to affect civil service professions such as the police force, now requesting to cut their sick pay to only thirteen weeks. Also under Bush's presidency, they have turned reservation offices into assembly line call centers. The union had warned of this but no one listened. We trusted Bush that it would...

LaRouche is the only qualified candidate for U.S. President with a political movement representing what Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to as the "forgotten man," who is now facing ruin in the ongoing Global Depression and the Neo-con drive for perpetual war.

I'm tired of the Constitution that Bush represents.

Hehehe....The Republicans can really dish it out but can't take it. They cry like little "Wussies" when they are told the truth! Maybe you guys can support your buddies the Republicans by supplying them hankies for when they start to cry. Oh. Your posts sound more and more like "Fagot Republican Bush Supporters" with your silly comments. I guess Kerry's got you boys squirming now. Ha!Ha!Ha! Now the sorry Republicans are trashing Kerry for being friends with Jane Fonda. Kerry could care less what you clowns think of him.

Why don't they get how how can the conservatives not see the truth when it is hanging in front of them. I have studied dictators. I have ingested too much false and unverified information to go on without talking out. Bush is the real dictaor here. I admit that Saddam Hussien was an evil man and that he horrible things, but our actions against him were completely uncalled for. Why did we invade Iraq to begin with? Was it for those ever elusive weopons of mass destruction? Or was it for a more personal gain? Perhaps oil? I challange any...

Okay, I've been lurking here for 2 years and finally read something today that made we want to write. First of all, I'm a life long Republican of the Conservative branch. And Bush blew it on the WOT. Sept. 12th he should of declared war on Iran and Pakistan, forget about Iraq. Iran and Pakistan are the ones that came to our country and MURDERED 3,000 of us. Not Iraq, Not North Korea, Not Syria. WE ARE FIGHTING THIS WAR BECAUSE 3,000 AMERICANS WERE SLAUGHTERED ON AMERICAN SOIL. Has everyone forgotten that??? If Bush had went full force into Iran...

<p>Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky conclusion of a religious cult, but rather the result of diligent analysis sourced by hard data and the scientists who study global “Peak Oil” and related geo-political events.</p>

from his lecture given in 1927 One of the commonest charges brought against Islam historically, and as a religion, by Western writers is that it is intolerant. This is turning the tables with a vengeance when one remembers various facts: One remembers that not a Muslim is left alive in Spain or Sicily or Apulia. One remembers that not a Muslim was left alive and not a mosque left standing in Greece after the great rebellion in l821. One remembers how the Muslims of the Balkan peninsula, once the majority, have been systematically reduced with the approval of the whole...

<p>So... Why may I ask am I being delayed here! look. Just go to the stinking webpage and givem hell. Thats all I ask. AInt nothing illegal, pornographic or racist going on.</p>

<p>While the death tolls continue to mount and we spend billions on this illegal occupation crucial programs go unfunded and the deficit spirals out of control.</p> <p>Please see the brilliant animation by Ben Cohen explaining how just a small change in our already bloated defense spending could make the world a much better place for everyone.</p>

Dear Saddam, Remember when we first met on that magic night in Baghdad in 1983? You were gassing those wacky Iranians with chemical weapons and having a grand old time, but Ronnie and I just said hey, 'dictators will be dictators' - know what I mean?!! Hahaha. It's a good thing we sold you all those weapons and military equipment that you used in crushing your own people. Lord knows what might have happened if we hadn't stepped in to help you out. What a time it was too! We sold you all kinds of fun things - anthrax, VX...
