Free Republic

After reading all of the crap that people have been saying regarding Adult Private Social Clubs, I felt that I had to post an article and give my opinion. I am sick and tired of all the religous groups that are saying that there are drugs, prostitution, minors, non-consenting people, and just immoral people at these clubs! First of all, who do these people think they are to decide what is morally right or wrong for me? I believe that I have a good set of morals. I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen, I work full time and...

Lies of omission about 9/11 -- stoking fears of terrorism THEY WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes! Someone is apparently watching closely over the content of the freerepublic.com forums and censoring them 24/7 (though they might have...

<p>You people are jerks. Not likeable jerks either, but the kind folks would like to smack in the back of the head with a shovel. Think Judge Snells from Caddyshack or Neidermier from Animal House.</p> <p>I know this probably comes as a shock to you, but if you do some serious soul searching, you'll realize that I am right.</p>

Concluding Question: The Meta-Group and the United States Government It seems clear that the meta-group, with its influential connections on at least three continents, was powerful enough to effect changes, through the Russian 9/11, in Russian history. The question arises whether they could similarly effect changes in American history as well. As we have seen Russian sources claim that the U.S. Government has had access to he meta-group, for such especially sensitive projects as the assassination of Abu al Walid al-Hamadi. They claim the meta-group's involvement in a number of U.S.-sponsored regime changes in eastern Europe, from the overthrow of...

Monty: Welcome to Let’s Make a Deal. Monty Hall here with you and let’s get started. Hello, and who are you? John: I am John from Iowa. Monty: Welcome John, let’s play! Well Jay what do you have for us this week? Jay: This week we have Supreme Court nominees. Let’s have a look behind door number 1. It’s Harriet Miers! She’s a 60 year old Texan lawyer who has been a close advisor to the President for years. Harriet is a born again evangelical Christian who is unmarried and has no kids. A former Democrat who has drifted towards...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Gas costs so much. I cant afford it. Why want Bush do something? Don't say he can't. His daddy or his handlers could be on the phone in 2 minutes with the Rothchilds and by 1 week, oil prices would be under $20 and gas would be 1 dollar a gallon. You know it and I know it. Why want he? Do you know? Is there sombody we can call? Plaese advice.

Frustrated Democrats Find a Voice Lawmakers Use Policy Committee to Investigate Issues They Say GOP Ignores By Dana Milbank Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, February 15, 2005; Page A03 C-SPAN viewers tuning in yesterday morning might have thought they misread the results of November's elections. There was Sen. Byron L. Dorgan (N.D.) -- a Democrat -- wielding a gavel and calling to order a hearing on Iraq contracts. Dorgan presided over a wood-paneled Senate hearing room, complete with water pitchers on the witness table, nameplates for the committee members, and C-SPAN 1 -- live! But, paying closer attention, the viewers...

An unfortunate byproduct of George W. Bush's political strategy is that his success has depended on moving the base of the Republican Party down into a demographic that should by all rights be Democratic. That's right, I'm talking about the moron vote. This was best illustrated by that recent incident in Fallujah in which a cameraman caught on tape the shooting of an Iraqi prisoner by a U.S. Marine. The Marine apparently presumed the Iraqi was pretending to be dead for the purpose of preparing a later ambush. Now the Marine has been removed from duty and may be court-martialed....

Anyone here ever taken an on-line course from Executrain? I'm doing some courses for work that the company has paid for. The course content is very good. I'm taken computer courses such as PowerPoint, Access, etc (Office Computer and Presentation type stuff). I do not like the way everytrhing is presented in a shockwave format....I don't need to see what they want me to learn in a cartoon -- I'm an adult. Anyhow, I can fly through the courses, but when it is test time, my system (or their site) freezes up on the first answer. So, if you go...

WASHINGTON — I'm not sure I should use the poor schlub's name. ESPN has used it, and The Chicago Sun-Times. But given all the Cubs fans who hurled beer and debris and bleeped epithets at the guy and screamed, "Kill him!" and, "You can tell we're better than Boston or he'd be dead already!" it might be as dangerous to print the name of the accursed 26-year-old who fouled up with that foul ball as it would be to print the name of a C.I.A. spy.You had to feel sorry for the terrified persona-non-Cubbie when his own dad refused to...

Dems get little salve from judge Frustrated Whitmire almost bolts for home By RACHEL GRAVES, ARMANDO VILLAFRANCA and R.G. RATCLIFFE Aug. 28, 2003, 12:06AM ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- After getting little comfort from a judge they hoped would advance their cause, 11 Democrats boycotting the Texas Senate in a partisan standoff vowed Wednesday to stay away even as one of them acknowledged he had been on the verge of heading home. The senators took Sen. John Whitmire of Houston to task at a closed-door meeting Wednesday evening, after he expressed impatience with the continuing impasse and indicated his bags were packed...

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) - Jennifer Mann flipped from channel to channel for the latest news about the terrorist bombings in Saudi Arabia, an exercise in frustration for the Democratic state legislator from Pennsylvania.</p> <p>"Everywhere I turned, there was President Bush," she said with a sigh.</p>
