Free Republic

Marlton, NJ is a good place too — except it’s a communist hellhole. The Messiah will win NJ by 15 points. UGH!

Why doesn't McCain get it all over with and just put his "good friend" Teddy Kennedy on his grubby ticket now?

Can you say President Hillary Clinton?

The way I have it figured, McCain and Hillary have a total of 88 YEARS suckling at the public teat.

Anyone with a REAL job (private sector) is...f*****...

...as usual.

I hate McCain...I hate the Clintons..and country is going straight to hell.

...suspended WITH pay.

You know what every taxpayer WORKING in the private sector (aka real world) is?

A sap...a total sap.

Even though this scumbag cop may (but don't bet on it) get kicked off the force, he'll wind up somewhere in parasite land after attending some sexual 12 step program (paid, of course, by us saps).

His sap financed lottery public pension -- with sap financed health care -- will be right on schedule at age 50.

I hate this f...... country!

^I STILL live in Evesham (Heritage Village) and my property taxes have went up 40% in 5 years. I'm now paying about $4300/yr on a 1200 square ft house!!

^I paid off the mortgage just this week. Good news, right? Well, counting all the overhead on the place...excluding food...taxes now account for about 55% of my total monthly nut!!!

^Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave! Hell, Ronald Reagan is too!!!

^Comrade Corzine cannot possibly be thinking about more taxes increases can he?

^Only when he's awake I bet!!

When I first read the name I thought, no, it can't be THAT Ken Dryden...

I remember when he quit hockey in the early '70's for a year to finish his law degree. That should of given us all a clue of his future adventures in leftoid crackpottery.

Here is SoJersey they say 4-6 inches of snow.

Or not...no matter.

The Philly TV stations already are in their typical full hysteria mode. Every reporterette with a pulse is breathlessly warning to go food shopping (MILK!! EGGS!! BREAD!!) so if we're snowed in for, say, the next 72 days we can freakin' french toast ourselves to death.

BTW, is this just a Philly market thing or what...

...every weather girl is a total babe...seems to be pregnant all the time...and can't tell the difference between a funnel cloud and a funnel cake???

Underpaid? Public school teachers??

On what planet???

Certainly not in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey where the average hack hauls in about 65k a year...and a gold plated health care plan (no charge)...and no accountabilty... and a 180 day "work" year...and...and...and...

...and -- drum roll please -- the holy grail of public employment -- the taxpayer financed, lottery style pension at age 55 which is UNTHINKABLE in the private sector (i.e. real world).

PMS, fine. Underpaid, NO WAY!!

I wouldn't vote for this cipher if she did one armed pushups on her fingertips while citing the collective works of Oliver Wendel Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes at the hearing.

Catching George Bush's coat and fetching George Bush's coffee does not a Supreme Court Justice make.

Our wonderful criminal justice system:

"...was sentenced to 15 years and became eligible for mandatory release after 13 years."

What the hell does that mean??????

South Jersey here:

A few thoughts on New Jersey:

I hate New Jersey...

I hate New Jerseyans...

I hate the cesspool in Trenton...

I hate the cesspoll in Mt Holly (county seat)..

I hate the cesspool at the local level (Evesham)...

I hate the NJ "republican" party which is to the left of Air America radio...

I REALLY hate the NJ democrat party which is to the left of Karl Marx...

I hate the next governor, the Dishonorable Comrade Corzine...

And...drum roll please...I hate the NJNEA, NJDOT, NJDMV, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Atlantic City, and everything else concerned with Jersey -- even football jerseys...because they're called JERSEYS!!!

...elvis voice..."...thank you, thank you very much".

BTW, I stopped in before work this morning and voted for Bret knowing there would be a better chance of hitting the Pick 6 lottery twice...in one week...than Bret actually becoming governor.

I'm here in the Peoples Republic of New Jersey (South Jersey).

I dated a special education teacher a few years ago. Nice girl. And a Republcan! (probably the only Republican school teacher in the state).

Anyway, on our first date - we hit it off pretty good - she told me about her salary, her benefits, her time off (massive), and, of course, her lottery style pension.

My reaction went as follows:

"...and you expect ME to pick up the tab???"

Should of married her and became a house husband...beats working at a real job!

P.S. "Special Ed" is merely another scam the educational industrial complex throws at hapless taxpayers with impunity. If current trends continue about 101% of students will be "special ed" by next Tuesday. Pony Up, sucker-property owner!!

Government "workers" are:

...over paid, over pampered, arrogant, talentless, excuse making parasites.

Right - lets get hysterical about Enron, Worldcom, and a few other corrupt corporations...

...and ignore the 40 million (FORTY MILLION!) lay abouts at all levels of government on the "job" or collecting their OBSCENE pensions and are having a mardi gras on your private sector (i.e. real job) earnings.

Ever wonder why you can't afford a nicer home, a newer car, a better private education for your kids? Hint - it isn't Ken Lay...or Dick Cheney...or dotcom scam stocks.

Nope - it's being forced at the point of gun to throw half you earnings down the public sector rat drain.

BTW - I'm not some crazy libertarian who wants to privitize street lights. Cops, firemen, EMT, and, of course, the military are all legitimate uses of public money.

Just cut out EVERYTHING else!

First on the list - the government school system, which is nothing more than a giant corrupt money laundering scheme for the Democrat party.

Then the post office, which has 800,000 "workers" (600,000 of which would be grubbing for worms in less than a week if they had to go out into the real world and get real jobs).

Like everyone else on the dole, thier lifetime employment comes via nepotism and the perverted racial spoils system.

Naturally I could go on...and on...and on...but my head is about to explode.

Wow, I thought this piece was going to be about Temple basketball coach JOHN Cheney for president.

If that POS were to run you can be sure the Philadelphia Daily News would endorse him.

He has all the qualifications:

He's black...

He's overrated...

He's black...

He lashed out at George Bush on television....

He's black...

He plays the race card with total impunity to a loving media...

He's black...

If he had to go out and get a real job in the real world he'd starve in a week...

He's black...he's black...he's black.

John Cheney is a POS.

The only people in Philly who are still defending him are professional victim blacks and, naturally, the Philadelphia Daily News (which is to the left of Pravda).

If I was in workplace situation and ordered one of my people to assault a co-worker, I'd wind up in the jail.

Then again, I was born with the original sin of being white.

The average non-politically connected sap working his ass off in the private sector gets a lousy 401(k) plan with shitty investment options (if he's lucky) and will have to work until he's about, oh, 106.

The average politically connected parasite loafing on the public teat hits the pension lottery at age 55 (or sooner).

Said Oliver Wendell Holmes:

"Taxes are the price we pay for civilization."

Natually, Mr Holmes spent most of his life on the public payroll.

Ugh....

You are sooooooo right.

I know guys who "work" for the gov't. Naturally, they got their jobs by nepotism, which is the ony way a white guy can get a gov't "job".

Bums...every single one of them.

A gov't job is the closest thing to hitting the lottery there is.

I try to explain to them how they don't actually pay taxes. They pay kick backs. You and I and the rest of us breaking our asses in the private sector pay taxes...

...which, of course, finances the drones over-inflated salaries, outrageous benefits, and obscene pensions.

Most are arrogant, greedy, and if they had to go out into the real world (i.e. the private sector) they would be grubbing for worms within a week.

BTW, the next time you hear our heroic, angelic public school teachers bitch about how they're underpaid, take a drive by the faculty parking lot of your local high school...

...late model SUVs (yep, they drive 'em) and brand new Toyota Camrys rule the roost.

Yes, yes, those "professionals" are certainly underpaid.

Question: If public school teachers are so underpaid, how come there are so few "former public school teachers"?

I live in Marlton - less than a mile from where President Bush is visiting on Monday.

We are the only part of Jersey that is reliably Republican. Bush/Cheney lawn signs outnumber Kedwards signs by about 5 to 1.

This is really a no-lose move for the campaign because:

a) The good guys may be able to at least put the heat on Kerry to spend time and money here (not to mention winning the state outright).

b) We are in the Philadelphia TV market (New Jersey doesn't have any commercial TV affiliates) and the event will get good play there (basically free air time to help in Pennsylvania).

c) The Philadelphia local TV news coverage -- unlike the horrible Philly newspapers -- usually call it fair. Not too much biased left-wing commentary.

d) Many voters in this area are absolutely outraged at the Philadelphia Inquirer for thier 21 day -- 21 DAY!!! -- rolling endorsement of Kerry. I, for one, cancelled my subscription immeadiately. Nothing would make us more happy than sending a huge "up yours" card to the Inquirer by winning both Pennsylvania AND New Jersey.

I work for two brothers. Both Jews. Both voted for Gore in 2000. Both will be voting for Bush this time. Both of thier wives too -- one of whom is actually active in the New Jersey Democrat Party.

Plus they tell me most of their secular friends are voting the same way.

These guys are straight shooters, so I'm not so sure Jews are as unreachable as this article seems to indicate.

South Jersey here -- Cherry Hill area.

We see a ton of ads from Philly TV.

Kerry/Edwards just opened up a campaign office a block away from where I work a week ago.

Yep, the liberals are in trouble.

Almost UNTHINKABLE in the Peoples Republic of Sopranostan!

Good News:

A Kerry/Edwards office opened today about 2 blocks from where I work.

In the Peoples Republic of New Jersey!!

The liberals are scared if they think they have to defend this state.

Things ARE looking good!

My vote may actually count for the first time since 1988.

As a resident of the Peoples Republc of New Jersey all I can say is I loathe the NJNEA.

Public School = Democrat Party

Tax lice who feed off the scalp of productivity

Churchill KNEW EVERYTHING...that was important...

From one Phllies fan to another: You beat me to it!!

I remember Game 4 of that series when George Vochovich hit the game winning home run to send the series to game 5. Unfortunately for the good guys, Steve Rodgers then beat Steve Carlton to end it.

Not true. Montreal was in the playoffs. In 1981 after the strike shortened season.

Remember: They split the season in two halves. The Expos beat the (defending champion) Phillies in the "Divisional Series" in 5 games, then went on the lose to the Dodgers in the NLCS.

BTW, I know this because I'm Phillies fan and at the age of 17 was really bummed out about it...not because I'm a "need to get a life" baseball fanatic who just wants to be a pain in the ass!

Lighten up, dude

25 years as a public parasite.

Said Daschle:

"I could of made a lot more money in the private sector."

Translation:

How much is my obscene public pension going to be? That much!

Way cool...

My father lost "his" job after 37 years and get the bare annuity for "retirement". (Corporate Bust Out!!) So I moved home to help out. I'm single and childless and I'm employed in a job a loathe.

Lessons:

1) My father's job was never HIS...it was THEIRS the whole time.

2)America...quit your f****** complaining. I'm 40, never married, no kids, lousy job...and can I still laugh at the liberals.

3)A 40 y/o son and a 70 y/o father is a better living arrangement than, like, ALL of my friends who are up their asses in mortgages (our house is paid for), bitchy wives, snot nosed kids they can't afford...and, of course, lousy jobs!!!!

4)I can drink...smoke...gamble...chase divorced women...eat whatever the hell I want...and laugh at the liberals...

...and there's no one around to bother me about it!!

Even though this survey was taken at a job seeking site, I STILL think only 25% of people claiming to hate their jobs is a low number.

Kinda like buying your first imported car and claiming it runs just fine -- way better than your old Chevy (even though it doesn't).

Me thinks most folks who hate their jobs -- way more than 25% IMHO -- are just too embarassed to admit it.

Not me. I HATE my f****** job. And everything about it.

Thank you, affirmative action.

I'd like the thank my friends for their endorsement today.

Now, some would call SEIU and ASFSME nothing more than a bunch of over-paid, over-pampered, and over-pensioned public parasites...

...but I won't.

They are MY peeeeeeeeeple!!!

What about the Post Office? It's not as if any white guys (w/o a relative of course) can get a job there.

My neighborhood is 99% white and we haven't had a white person deliver our mail in about 20 years.

Silly me: I took the postal exam in the late '80's assuming if I scored well on the test (I did), I would at least be considered.

Never heard from them.

Think that fatal check mark of -- WHITE, MALE, NON-HISPANIC -- did me in?

Stop laughing....

Philadelphia = North Korea on the Delaware

Oh yeah, the New Jersey Senate just went 'rat too (it had been tied).

Philadelphia...sucks.

New Jersey...sucks.

There once was a senator from Mass

Who was always on the look out for a piece of ass

When he finally found it

He f***** up and drowned it

And the presidency slipped from his grasp

Better yet: Lets send them to France in August. A certain death sentence, that.

Hasn't Aziz -- like Hyman Roth -- been dying of the same heart attack for 20 years?

At least you know what you're getting with Stern, who's actually funny when doing the news or bashing pompous Hollywood types. But lesbians and bathroom "humor" gets pretty old, pretty fast. Predictably enough he has crucified Rush the last few days.

Imus is another story. He's a POS (IMHO). And a liar. And not funny. Or entertaining (see his latest ratings book for confirmation). His show sucks and having an occasional conservative on doesn't change that.

Oh, and he's also a moron. Doesn't Imus realize that at least some (of the few) people who listen to his show also listen to Rush? Why alienate the already anemic audience you have?

Listen, Rush f***** up and good. He will -- and should -- pay.

But here's a prediction:

Rush will be back and get back most of his audience...

...and Imus will still be getting a tenth of Stern's ratings (and a 20th a Rush's).

The Marlins beat out my Phillies for the wild card, but I'm rooting for them now.

Glad they beat the Giants (screw the Frisco leftist).

Pudge Rodriquez is tremendous. He can carry them the whole way.

The Marlins have a good mix of vets -- Pudge, Conine, etc -- and GREAT young talent.

McKeon must be considered manager of the year even though he didn't manage the full season (took over when Torborg got canned).

Until today, I have never seen a series end with a play at the plate (way to hang on Pudge!!).

I'm in the Marlins fold -- until next spring of course!

I'm in South Jersey and the local all sports radio station -- WIP -- was talking about Rush's comment all day.

The hosts were (naturally) outraged. Callers less so.

My take:

1) McNabb IS overrated.

2) McNabb's "overratedness" has nothing to do with the NFL bigwigs wanting to promote black quarterbacks.

3) McNabb's overratedness has everything to do with not being an accurate passer, not being able to read a defense, and not telling his pompous coach -- Andy Reid -- to stick his lousy game plans up his ever expanding back side.

4) Rush's comment WAS silly.

5) Rush should stick to his day job (of which I am a big fan).

Two Words:

Private Sector

Come on out here in the (real) world of the business cycle, layoffs, skimpy benefits, working until you drop, no raises (or vacations), hard work, lousy 401(k) options, and, of course, non-existent defined benefit pensions -- just good ole Socialism Insecurity.

Translation: Small Company Shit Job America

I sure wish I was a drone and had to deal with the "trauma" of only a 1.5% raise...

...and guaranteed employment...and taking advantage of all the benefits of a free market economy with none of the risk, sweat, or effort...and outrageous vacation time...and sick time...and personal time...and Martin Luther King's Groundhogs Cousins Day off..and obscene indexed pensions (at age 55, no?)....and doing nothing for the tax paying public (i.e. SAPS) other than bitch, bitch, bitch....

...and absolutely living (living!) for the holy grail of government employment: Early Retirement.

Yeah, it sure frosts me when ANY government employee complains about any thing...any time...ever.

BTW -- I'm a healthy, literate, educated, white male who....

...oops...there I said it...

...white male. And a politically unconnected white male to boot (a.k.a The Kiss of Death).

Alas, my career as an over-paid, over-pampered, and over-pensioned hack has come to an end before it even started.

Oh dear -- does anyone have a federal civil "servent" uncle...or brother...or father I can borrow for a few days to vouch for me in order to take a civil service exam and get a government job.

Think about -- I can drawl from the same trough as welfare chislers, greedy grandmothers, and Hillary Clinton...and millions of other parasites.

ODE TO JOY!!!!

Right you are: Men have NO chance in divorce court.

And no wonder: Chances are you're going to be dragged in front of some Hillary-loving, man-hating woman judge who can't wait to clean you out.

I know a guy who makes over $70,000 a year -- I do his taxes -- and he sleeps on his parents couch because of a draconian divorce and child support decree.

Oh yeah, if that isn't bad enough, HE had to pay for HER lawyer!

And what does he get? Nothing -- she turned the kids against him, she drags his ass back in court every 6 months to up the support payments, and she lives in the house HE killed himself to buy.

"Amiable Divorce"? Ugh!!!

BTW, I'm a 39 y/o SWM, never married, no kids, healthy of mind (and bank account)...and plan on staying that way.

I suppose it's the ultimate Catch-22 for the single ladies: On the one hand they want to marry a guy with his shit half together...but any guy with his shit half together is going to be well aware that his life can (will?) be destoyed by the ridiculous divorce laws.

You can thank the Gloria Allreds and the Hillary Clintons of the world for that.

Tough luck ladies...buy a puppy.

...I...I...need a drink...

...kid ya not

Meth -- we called it Crank 20 years ago -- is the just about the worst. You snort it, then smoke it, then shoot it (then go crazy).

I dunno. I'm usually of the libertarian bent when it comes to such things, but meth IS nasty (right up -- or down -- there with heroin).

Of course cigarettes are MUCH worse. /sarcasm

I watched the game. Millwood had it workin' today!

Plus, a wonderful by product of the CNN Time Warner/Ted Turner implosion. If AOL/TW stock hadn't tanked, the Braves (who are owned by AOL) could have afforded Millwood's salary. They couldn't and practically gave him away to the Phillies (the good guys) for back up catcher Johnny Estrada.

He just might pitch the Phils to an Eastern Division title over the loathsome Braves.

They interviewed Kevin after the game. He seems like a real nice guy to boot. A Republican, I bet.

Both!!!

Who's this clown? I guess he's going to explain how evil America is going to lose the war and we'll all be speaking Farsi by June.

You think this guy might explan how we haven't even used, say, 2% of our ordnance yet?

stop laughing!!

Been watching this crap since 9PM. This anchor guy is like a bald version of Peter Jennings!!

The only bight spot was Don Cherry's way cool pro-USA rant.

Oh, here ya go -- "Heroic" "Peace" activists.

puke, puke, puke

So that's what ZOTS means!! ;-)

Hey, congrats FR!

LETS ROLL!!!

Al Gore invented snow...

Air brushed the poster? I'm getting a whiff of Stalin, you?

As a general rule, no farce can be totally complete without an appearence of the Good Reverend.

I think our wonderful President will be influenced by this -- NOT!!!

...and, now, a very special guest...

...Yoko Ono!!!

Oh, good grief, here's the Kensington Welfare Rights Association!!

Welfare rights??????? Peace???????

I'm confused -- but then again, I'm also sane!
