Free Republic

Does anyone have any idea how this will effect things are will this effect things at all?

Great line! LOL.

There have been reports coming from Iraq that three journalists have been killed and three others have been captured, according to NBC.

Time has come to get all these scum-bags and ship them out of the country. Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Penn, and a few others would like to join them also. Problem is, these people don't realize that it is because of conflicts like this that they have the freedoms that they have that they so wrongly abuse.

Time for a great big red bulls eye!

I'm going to try to make this pretty short. You can either agree or disagree with my statements. The protestors are really getting under my skin. Especially now that we are in a major conflict. To me, the protestors are a sign of weakness in the world in which we are finding ourselves in. Weakness leads to the loss of power, or the loss of control. Countries around the world are seeing the protesting going on and to me, they are seeing weakness. When someone like Saddam or any of his regime see protests going on they are filled with happiness because they see weakness. They see that there are factions in this country with no backbone. This I believe is a bad message that is being sent out.

We know that the passengers in the two planes that hit the world trade center probably didn't know the outcome of their flight. If they did I do not believe that they would have just sat there and sang "Let's all give peace a chance." I do not believe that they all sang "Coom By Ya."

Yet the passengers in the plane that crashed in Pennsylvinia DID KNOW! They didn't sing "Let's give peace a chance" or "Coom by Ya" either. They stated "Let's Roll." By sacrificing their lives they possibly saved the lives of hundreds maybe thousands. Today, tonight, and maybe weeks to come troops from the United States and Great Britain are stating "Let's Roll." They are fighting for the rights of freedom for us and the protestors. Doing their jobs to help secure the lives of all those that are back in the States and the lives of those in Britain.

You may not believe in what we're doing. You maybe one of the protestors. If you are, please think about what you are doing. There are men and women who are putting their lives on the line to give you the freedoms that you enjoy. Show a little backbone to those who are wanting more than anything to divide a country that right now needs to be UNITED more than ever.

Time to kick the commies at MTV and all their buddies in hollyweird out of the country. Their not happy here, I say let's kick their a$$es out! Immediately!! A long with them, lets kick members of the media out also!

May God and His angelic hosts be with our leaders and our troops.

"Deadly force." I hope it's used. These idiots have no business trying to interfere with operations. A few less wacko's doesn't bother me none.

You do the greatest posts that I've seen. These pictures swell my heart with pride. Is there a web site to print some of your pictures? They are awsome! God bless you for the work you do. God bless our men and women for the work they do.

A TRUE AMERICAN HERO! SHOULD GIVE EVERY AMERICAN A REASON TO SMILE!

To those interested, I also posted an article called "On the rock, we shall stand." It was posted on 6-27-02. It deals with the subject of religion and politics. Some of you might find it interesting. I don't quite know how to cut and paste or I'd do so.

Hang in there man. Keep up the good fight.

You are right Null. I do chase, but it is for the safety of others that I do so. Sorry no prizes tonight.

This morning my head just almost blew off when I saw Matt and Katy with all their talking heads regarding the war with Iraq. This just really gets under my skin. I just want to know something from Matt and Katty. Did the U.N. or any of the countries involved in the U.N. give Saddam Insane the go ahead to make all those chemical weapons. Did the U.N. or any of its members give Saddam the green light to kill all of those people in his country who opposed him. I'm really tired of hearing about us needing to get everybodies check mark to act. Screw them. We don't need anybody. We are the freedom fighters of the World now. When our freedom or anybody elses is in jeparody, I say it's time to act. Enough said. If that's pushing our authority around, so what, it's for the good of the world. Also for all of those out there who are protesting the war. Get off the meth. You keep saying that we are doing it for OIL? If that is the case, why don't we just declare victory in Saudia Arabia and Kuwait. We have enough troops there now to take over if we really were there for the oil. You people need to wake up!

The stories coming out now of teachers ridiculing families for going to the gulf because it's their duty really make me furious. I'm 33 years old. I would like to say to all vets including those who fought in Vietnam, here's a great big thank you for doing something for me even though you don't even know me. I really appreciate everything you guys and gals have done for me. God Bless All Of You! This just goes to show you how the time has come for us to take back our schools and our Universities. My kids go to a real small school here in Texas and their teachers have even told them that the Republican party is the party of the rich. Where in God's name did that come from. It's all garbage. We are not the wealthest people on the block by any means. We've had to work hard for everything we've got. We are members of the Republican Party. NOT because we're rich but because we believe in what it stands for. The bias in the schools, the media, and everywhere else is poison to our society. It's time that we took a stand and let's stand proud! I would love to see a movement to spread across this wonderful country of ours for this Fourth of July celebrating all the great heroes of this country who helped people like me have the freedoms that I have today.

Another thing that really has gotten under my nerves here lately is this SUV nonsense. WHAT?? Don't we have more important things to consider at this point in time.

Something else. This ONE man who is trying to get God out of the pledge, needs to be stopped. ONE MAN. That's pretty pathetic. I guess it is just like the ONE WOMAN who took prayer out of schools. DO ME A FAVOR AMERICA, (at least those that are mad as hell like me) TAKE A STAND WITH ME AND STOP ALL THE B.S. THAT'S MAKING THIS COUNTRY REALLY SMELL BAD.

We do not need the support of others. We are not kids asking our parents if we can go to the candy store. We are the protectors of freedom. Our freedom and the worlds. We don't need the U.N. are anybody else. If those freedoms could be violated it's time to act. Enough said.

Three words. Let's fry him.

Mayflower Compact signed on Nov. 11, 1620 "In the name of God,Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, etc. Having undertaken for the glory of God, and the advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony..."

Some Founder's Comments: (The Select Writings of John Quincy Adams, by Alfred A. Knopf, 1946, page 292.) "My hopes of a future life are all founded upon the Gospel of Christ and I cannot cavil or quibble away (evade or object to) the whole tenor of His conduct by which He sometimes positively asserted and at others countenances (permits) His disciples in asserting that He was God" John Quincy Adams

(Funeral Oration Upon the Death of General Washington, Gunning Bedford, Wilmington: James Wilson, 1800, p.18) "Now to the triune God, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be ascribed all honor and dominion, forevermore Amen." Gunning Bedford, signer of the Constitution.

(The Writings of George Washington, U.S. Government Printing, 1932, Vol. XV, p.55) "You do well to learn...above all the religion of Jesus Christ." George Washington to the Delaware Indian Chiefs on May 12,1779.

(The writings of Thomas Jefferson by Thomas Jefferson, 1904, Vol.XIV, p. 385) "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus Christ" Thomas Jefferson to Charles Thomson on Jan. 9, 1816.

(The Papers of James Iredell, James Iredell, North Carolina Historical Commission, 1976, Vol.I, p.11) "I think the Christian religion is a Divine institution; and I pray to God that I may never forget the precepts of His religion or suffer the appearance of an inconsistency in my principles and practice." James Iredell, U.S. Supreme Court Justice under President George Washington.

(The Autobiography of Benjamin Rush, George W. Corner, editor, Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1948, p. 166.) "My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the Cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!" Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

(Preamble of Virginia Company Charter, King James I.) "Propagating the Christian religion to such people as yet live in darkness and miserable ignorance of the true knowledge and worship of God, and may in time bring the infidels and savages living in these parts to human civility and to a settled and quiet government..."

(Harvard's "Rules and Precepts" adopted in 1646 at Harvard University) 1."Everyone shall consider the main end of his life and study to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life." 2."Seeing the Lord giveth widsom, every one shall seriously by prayer in secret seek wisdom of Him." 3."Everyone shall so exercise himself in reading the Scriptures twice a day that they be ready to give an account of their proficiency therein, both in theoretical observations of languages and logic, and in practical and spiritual truth."

(Abraham Lincoln on April 30, 1863.) "It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God; to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon." "It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, and confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness."

(Last Wills and Testaments of our Founding Fathers) "First of all, I...rely upon the merits of Jesus Christ for a pardon of all my sins." Samuel Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

"I am constrained to express my adoration of...the Author of my existence...(for)His forgiving mercy revealed to the world through Jesus Christ, through whom I hope for never ending happiness in a future state." Robert Treat Paine, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

"I think it proper here not only to subscribe to...doctrines of the Christian religion...but also, in the bowels of a father's affection, to exhort and charge them(my children) that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, that the way of life held up in the Christian system is calculated for the most complete happiness." Richard Stockton, signer of the Declaration of Independence.

If one is to look at the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights one can clearly see that the founding fathers believed in the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that they knew that these rights and freedoms must first come from the Almighty.

It is very clear that these men of profound respect were believers in God. You cannot take God out of the history books, because in doing so, one would in fact be changing the meaning of the principles in which this country was founded.
