Free Republic

I live in Yakima, Washington. I just want to thank Jay Inslee, the Democrats and Rinos in the Legislature and all those liberals who voted for these imbeciles for passing Cap and Trade.In the last month or so, gas prices, here, have increased a dollar a gallon.I would greatly appreciate it if they all would shout from the rooftops how great their votes and policies are benefiting all of us. Thank you for your caring. (Sarcasm)

Dear friend, It’s been almost one year since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ripped away a woman’s fundamental right to make her own health care decisions—a direct result of a decades-long attack by Republicans to drag women’s rights back by nearly half a century. Since then, the consequences of this ruling have been swift and cruel. Our nation is experiencing a full-blown health care crisis. Women across the country have been denied the health care they need—often putting their lives at risk. In just one year, Republican politicians have stripped 22 million women and counting of their...

Subject: Why the Marine Hymn Contain Shores of Tripoli"... Interesting bit of history. This may be one of the more informative history lessons you ever read. Why the Marine Hymn Contains the Verse "To the Shores of Tripoli" Most Americans are unaware of the fact that over two hundred years ago the United States had declared war on Islam and Thomas Jefferson led the charge! At the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim pirates were the terror of the Mediterranean and a large area of the North Atlantic. They attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews for exorbitant...

A Smelly Adventure.

The poignant words of John D Rockefeller, Jr, “Not long since I sought to formulate in my own mind the things that make life most worth living, without which it would have little meaning. Some of these things have been relegated to bygone days; some are regarded as long since outgrown. Nevertheless I believe they are every one of them fundamental and eternal. They are the principles on which my wife and I have tried to bring up our family; they are the principles in which my father believed and by which he governed his life. They are the principles,...

Printer Friendly BUDGET: Senator Murray Calls on Republicans to Put Middle Class Families over Tax Breaks for Millionaires Senator Murray: Republicans don’t understand shared sacrifice, American families do.

During the speech, Senator Murray also called for shared sacrifice in the efforts to reduce the debt and deficit. “I’m here to ask Republicans why they are asking...

Dear Senator (Name), I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the high gas prices that I am having to pay. I find it so much better to take this money for gas out of the household budget rather than spending it on the dubious necessities of life. Not having to worry about the necessities, like food and sustanence, makes life so much simpler.Just a thought, because you Senators, in your wisdom and concern about the obesity epidemic in the United States, have stumbled upon the fat solution. Higher gas prices means less money for food, ergo, people...

Dear Senator Murray, We have had 30 plus years to develop a responsible, long-term energy policy and it has not been forthcoming out of the Senate. Any attempt by any sane Senator to put forth a proposal to bring the U.S. to a responsible, long-term energy to bring independence upon foreign oil has met with failure and just plain Senate logjamming. We, out here in fly-over country, follow the votes in the Senate that cause the shenanigans and obstructions to energy independence and we wonder which countries all of you owe your allegiances. We know that you need our votes...

Most of our work force is Mexican. Today is Mexican Flag Day.Since many of these individuals still hold allegience to Mexico even though they are living in the United States of America far better than if they were still in Mexico.We decided that we were going to display the 'stars and stripes' in the workplace and recite the 'Pledge of Allegience' before the stift starts. At some point in time while we were getting the flag prepared to hang from the rafters, someone sliced it. Also, one of the workers decided to display the Mexican flag because it is Mexican...

If you know a Vet, please print this out and give it to them for July 4th, with a hand-shake and a "Thank You!" I Was A Soldier By Colonel Daniel K. Cedusky, USA, Retired I was a Soldier: That's the way it is, that's what we were...are. We put it, simply, without any swagger, without any brag, in those four plain words. We speak them softly, just to ourselves. Others may have forgotten. They are a manifesto to mankind; speak those four words anywhere in the world -- yes, anywhere -- and many who hear will recognize their meaning....

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENT, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH? My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed. Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning. Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which...

<p>There is a direct link between the alleged atrocities in Haditha and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. His poor decisions and bad judgment in 2003 and 2004 are the root causes for the prolonged challenge we now face. Haditha is but a symptom of a much bigger problem.</p>

Global warming causes 5 to 10% of Washington's apple crop to be frozen while still waiting to be picked. The last several nights temperatures have dipped from 4 to 6 degrees F.This is uncharted territory that has not been experienced in recent history. No one knows what will happen to the remaining crop, if it can be picked and packed.As one wag was heard to exclaim, "This global warming is the pitts."

There is no text. I heard McCain being interviewed on a news blip this morning. And, he did say that the absence of finance reform laws make good people to bad things.I don't think good people do bad things regardless of their circumstances. Using that logic would mean that good people would commit murder with out some kind of laws.I think the statement by McCain was as close to stupid as it gets.

Last night as I lay a sleeping, A wonderful dream came to me I saw Uncle Sammy weeping For his children from over the sea; They had come to him friendless and starving, When from tyrant's oppression they fled. But, now they abuse and revile him, Till at last in just anger he said: Refrain: If you don't like your Uncle Sammy, Then go back to your home o'er the sea, To the land from where you came, Whatever be it's name, But don't be ungrateful to me! If you don't like the stars in Old Glory If you don'w ...
