Hi Freepers. Is there a way to "not see" posts that I'm not interested in. Such as "Pope" or "Cologne Sex". Half of the posts I'm not interested in and would like to disregard with a keyword. Just a thought like a news clipper. Thanks for your response. Swen

SENT VIA EMAIL Subject: Retired disabled military dog Rocky dies if not adopted — Pets For Patriots Blog Three tours in Iraq and they want to kill this Marine.  Disgusting end for one of our veterans. Our military should stand by our K-9 soldiers or leave them alone.   I have forwarded this article on to my congressman.  Prayers up for someone to love and help Rocky.  Read comments after article.   Carl http://blog.petsforpatriots.org/retired-disabled-military-dog-rocky/ PLEASE CONGRESSMAN HULTGREN, HELP THIS VETERAN OUT.  THANK YOU. CARL SWENSEN

Received this email from a friend and my comments follow. My feelings are this is not right and I understand the seller has a real attitude. Let the jerk selling the Purple Heart (see link below) know what ahole he is. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/atq/2500745486.html My comment Maybe John (I've been in Vietnam) Kerry would like another medal. Profiting on a sacred honor is a crime. Like selling your son. The recipients family should have returned it to the DOD if they didn't want it.

FYI, for all FR in Illinois. I have a thought that could drive the carry issue to all states that will not allow it. Simple this: everyone that wants to carry could just wear a gun belt with an empty holster. Of course, leave your gun at home. Go to the mall, pick up your kids from school, visit your favorite restaurant, etc. Show the public in plain sight that this is a constitutional right that was taken away by the politicians. Maybe even a tee-shirt with some of the gun-grabbers' name on it. In Illinois you don't need anything...

Tribal leaders have warned that Jordan suffers from a "crisis of authority," and growing influence of "corrupt businessmen in the entourage of the executive power, affecting political decisions and ignoring national interest."

When we take control of the US House, think of all the goofs that will be tossed out of Committee Chairs.

Vanity....Does anyone have an idea how Mary Fallin will fare in today's Oklahoma's Gov Primary?

I received this email from a lady that I had a first date through Match.com with. Her response was predicated after vewing a link I sent her about America's founders and leaders. That link is shown below and really worth watching with the sound up. http://www.interviewwithgod.com/patriotic/highband.htm HERE IS WHAT SHE SAID. Dear xxxxx, thanks for the history / spiritual lesson. I might ask then, if we are Christians or at least we purport to support a society of kindness, how can we negate a relationship between two people full of love for each other simply because they are of the...

(CNSNews.com) - While Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman John Murtha has ascended to the national stage as one of the most vocal critics of President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq, he has also long downplayed the controversy and bitterness surrounding the two Purple Hearts he was awarded for military service in Vietnam. Murtha is a retired marine and was the first Vietnam combat veteran elected to Congress. Since 1967, there have been at least three different accounts of the injuries that purportedly earned Murtha his Purple Hearts. Those accounts also appear to conflict with the limited military records that are...

I bought 10 sheet of "Distinguished Marines" 37 cent stamps. Of the four great Marines pictured, I noticed that John A. Lejeune, c. 1924 was with the 2nd Infantry Division. But they show the Army insignia on his picture. Was he attached to the Army? Or why did they show an Army insignia on "Distinguished Marines" picture? Semper Fi!

On May 10, 2004 a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered singer-actress, Barbra Streisand, 62,to cough up $177,107 to cover the legal fees of Kenneth Adelman, the victor in the privacy-invasion spat between the parties. Streisand had sued Adelman and his company, the California Costal Records Project, when the group posted an aerial photograph of the singer's Malibu estate on their website in May 2003. A judge dismissed the case on Dec. 3. Striesand's rep says she will not appeal the decision....

Subject: The Marine This is a poem being sent from a Marine. For those who read it, please pass it on to all those you know. It makes you truly be thankful for all of our troops. THE MARINE We all came together, Both young and old. To fight for our freedom, To stand and be bold. In the midst of all evil, We stand our ground, And we protect our country From all terror around. Peace and not war, Is what some people say. But I'll give my life, So you can live the American way. I give you...

Did anyone notice that in todays Radio Message by President Bush, he clearly acknowledged Speaker Hastert, Leader Gephardt and Leader Lott for assisting on the iraq proposal to be debated next week. Little Tommy was notably omitted. It may be pay-back time.

Is it just me that feels this way or is the President just coasting? The War on Terrorism is going great. Hats off to our fine military and commanders. But the President's domestic agenda is crashing. He seems to be getting pushed around more and more by the democrats and says nothing. Does he know something? Is that why his fight is gone? He just appears in these manby panby day spots throwing bucks out here and there. *The Education Bill with Kennedy. Besides increasing the budget for our social school system, he let Kennedy run the show. And as ...
