Free Republic

My Father in law passed away and left me his M-1. I'm ex-army (M-16 days) and other than the time I spent in the military I haven't had too many weapons in my hands. The weapon is in great shape except for a small amount of rust in front of the rear site. My question is how to remove the rust without damaging the weapon. Thanks.

Here in my home town of Vancouver, WA. we're having a 60th ann. of the end of WW2. And I had the honor of shaking the hand of Mr. Robert Maxwell. I don't post alot, I just wanted to share with everyone some history about a REAL HERO I met. For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 7 September 1944, near Besancon, France. Technician 5th Grade Maxwell and 3 other soldiers, armed only with .45 caliber automatic pistols, defended the battalion observation post against an overwhelming onslaught by enemy infantrymen...

My pet, tell me again how much money you have.

Do you hate John Kerry? Another day of dealing with my union co-workers.A LARGE one who could give Mikey Moore a run for his money at the all-U-can eat buffet sat in the 2 empty chairs across from me and asked me what I thought of his new T-shirt which said "Love America-Hate Bush".My first response was that I was surprised that they had one in his size, And then I asked "Why do you hate Bush?". Mumble-mumble well you hate Kerry..... I have met few if any people who "hate" Kerry. I think he'd make a poor President, Just...

As the only Republican "as far as I know" in my Teamster local, I must say thanks to all of you for the info that you post here each day. You folks provide me with all I need to debate the Kool-Aid drinking fools that I must spend 40+ hours a week with.

Who remembers the little tiff that Dan Rather and President Bush 41st got into. I've been looking around for what was said between the two of them. Seems Danny has a history with the Bushes. Thanks

Well the President has stepped forward and said that these adds (without saying Swift-boat) are wrong and should go away. As soon as that hits the wire, DNC henchman Terry McAuliffe spouts "Too little, Too late". What is wrong with these people. We all could wake up tommorow, open up the paper and see that the President has secured peace in Iraq, All fighting has stopped, All the troops are coming home today, all taxes has been set at $50.00 per household ($75.00 for those who make more than $200.000 a year ;) )Everyone gets a pony, and we have...

I work swingshift, And since the Republic was down last night 'till 2am I thought that I see what was on the tube. With no cable here I just get what on over the air. 1st was Leno-With Ron Reagan Jr. Barf! 2nd was Letterman- With Al Frankin Double Barf. Ok Ok My last choice was Charlie Rose- With Ted Turner. Why are the TV Gods mocking me? I cant take it when you guys are down at night!

One of these pics are not like the other, One of these pics just doesn't belong. Can you tell me which pic is not like the others, before I finish this song..... If you guessed the last one- all your brain cells are working.

OK, It seems that all we hear is how much Hollywood hates President Bush, Whoopie, Lard-boy Moore and such. Whos got a list of folks who supports our President, and I'll see that my dollars starts supporting them!

I just got back last week from driving across the country, I live in Washington State and drove to PA in see my wifes family and took I-80 and I-90 back home. With my Bush/Cheney sticker from 2000 in my back window along with my W-04 sticker I got a aproviel rating of about 75% judging from the honks and thumbs ups from fellow drivers. Funny how I got the 1 finger salute from the folks with the Kerry stickers. My question to you is do you vent your hate and anger at fellow drivers on the road with a...

Thank you President Reagan, Because of your commetment to a strong military while I was serving this great country, I never had to face to horrors of combat. Thank you President Reagan.

Im looking for the Photo of Sec. Rumsfeld at the Pentagon on Sept. 11th helping carry a wounded man from the building. Can anyone help? Thanks.
