I've been on FR for over a decade and now I've messed up my fonts. Geez this is embarrassing! Help!

You hate McCain. You hate reason. Pick on Meghan all you want. All you peepole on here hate anybody who disagrees with you. Go ahead, make fun of me. You half no lives , dont YOU!. Keep up with your nasty and hateful comments. Hateful and ignorant peepole you are. I am ashamed to be an American. Youre greed is so evident and, well, screw you hateful peepole!

Several times tonight a totally new layout for FR has popped up. Has anyone else seen it? Are changes in the works? Enquiring minds (at least mine) would like to know...

With the deluge of threads being posted, and slated to increase greatly as the election heats up, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE .. especially if it's a news/breaking thread ... add the appropriate keywords to your posting form. So, if someone's looking for the latest string of "Obama" or "Sarah Palin" articles, let's say, they just click on that particular keyword at the top of the page, and those articles containing the keyword will come up chronologically. Thank you! Popular keyword options at the top of the main page: ~~~~ *110th *2008 *2008polls *ayers *bailout *barackobama *biden *bo *democrat *democrats *demron *economy...

Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA: Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra. "You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig." "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink." "We've had enough of the same old thing." The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

NYT TUESDAY: FAR FROM CERTAIN OBAMA WILL MEET AMBITIOUS FUNDRAISING TARGET... DEVELOPING....

Great more class in the White House… Not sure if the marble can handle boom box DB's…. Its kind of simple…she doesn’t have enough experience to be bumped up to pres if Mc has a glitch…But she has a document record of more government/cival experience than OB and he's running for Pres…. So I would say she has more than enough experience to be VP and more experiance than OB to be Pres… Make sence?

This post needs to be made regarding Super Tuesday. My observations include the fact the "underground" Trust Huckabee operation did its job well dividing conservative votes and enabling McCain to win Missouri. This group not officially associated with Huckabee is paving the way for McCain. It looks National Right To Life used its state affiliates endorsements of Huckabee to assist in the Establishment plan to divide conservatives and help McCain win. Romney can still fight back but he'll have to get into the Saturday events in Washington and Kansas where I think he can do well. And he'll have to...

Seven days prior to events which would set the world on-edge, newly-hired Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria "Torie" Clarke offered an equally startling admission to Agency France Presse wire service, but which received scant attention within U.S. media. On September 5, Ms. Clarke--lured back into government service by pal Mary Matalin on Vice President Dick Cheney's staff, from a high-paying post as Manhattan office director for the venerable public relations firm of Hill & Knowlton--the former PR chief to Senator John McCain and one-time George Bush (the elder) staffer would divulge to foreign media that the United States, via the Pentagon and...

A woman was killed in a car accident in the center of Krasnoyarsk at noon Dec, 28. The accident happened at the crossing of Lebedevoy St. and Gorkogo St.. A KAMAZ truck with a trailer knocked down an old woman while she was crossing the road. The large-tonnage truck crossed her over. The woman died at the accident site. Traffic inspectors are working at the tragedy scene to establish the guilty.

Getting damn sick of every other post from some ninny trying to sound smart and important. Go get a blog you people, nobody cares!

Something that I've noticed alot recently is the use of the word "and" when speaking dates and numbers. Examples: 1. Two Thousand AND Six (2006) 2. One Hundred AND Ninety Five (195) 3. The address is Three Hundred AND Seven (307) ------ Street 4. The temperature in ------ is One Hundred AND Two (102) degrees. 5. The driver qualified at One Hundred AND Eighty Six (186) miles per hour. I've noticed news, weather and sportscasters all using the "and" word with numbers. When I went to school back in the 60's and 70's, my classmates and I were reprimanded when...

I see so many people asking to be put on the 'ping list', what does that mean? I also see that you can be 'pinged' if something you are interested in is posted. Are you notified someway? Thanks

One look at you tells me all I need to know about you. I am so tired of liberals that think they are so brilliant. You are such a stupid jackass. You are so stupid you probably believe that the Bush administration orchestrated the attacks on 9/11. Every time you go on the internet, every time you make a bank transaction, or pay a bill, every time you try to email a congressman or senator they are getting so much information off of you. Of course it is all a conspiracy by the Bush administration. I have screwed around by...

Here's something for you to ponder over... http://distressedamerican.cf.huffingtonpost.com/ Any thoughts?

The purpose of FreeRepublic.com's multiple message boards is to limit the topics for each board to particular topics. Posting the same message on all the boards defeats the purpose of multiple-boards for special topics. It is very annoying to see the same message on every bulletin board. PLEASE! DO THE READERS A FAVOR. STOP CROSS-POSTING YOUR MESSAGES!

I haven't posted anything of any great importance since the almost infamous..... Am I Logged In???.Anyways...here's my prob. For various reasons which I choose not to disclose...( essentially because I'm getting old and don't have the energy... read that to mean.....

DNS seems hosed all over. Looks like a router went down close to the DNS root for .com. Traceroute is showing 100% loss at router Defender-1, and I am seeing lots of problems. http://www.networksolutions.com

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

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...

Abbas: Gaza pullout due to "Palestinian Sacrifices."

We just received a letter from "Citizens for Rick Perry" asking for a donation, citing therein everything he has done for Texans. My response, less a donation, will be similar to this... "We can no longer support Perry for Governor, based on what he has not done for Texas. Anyone who openly sells out Texans by refusing to protect us with a constitutional amendment on private property rights has no business with that honor. Our disappointment with Perry's arrogance, and his blatant disrespect of the majority of Texans, compels us to aggressively support and campaign for another candidate..." THEY JUST...

Roberts took the side of pro racial preferences and quotas in the rice vs cayatano case giving racial preferences to native hawaii islanders. He argued this before the supreme court. And look who he argued against and with will tell you all you need to know about the "fake conservative" Roberts. Judge Bork, Ted Olson, took the side arguing before the supreme court against the racial preferences in quotas arguing against Roberts. Roberts took the side of U.S solicitor general waxman in the clinton administration arguing for the racial preferences. This Roberts guy is another Souter on social issues. Roberts...

Hi everyone, My name is Pamela and i'm new to these boards. I was reading through the threads and i found alot of topics to be very interesting and controversial. So i thought, why not add another topic? :) My question to you all is, how do you feel about mainstream entertainment (i.e. - movies) depicting religious characters? A great example would be The Passion of the Christ. How do you all feel about those types of movies?

I sorry to take up space on here. I am working on a paper on media bias and people on here were helpful enough to help me find a book on it. In my introduction I am trying to come up with a succint definition of conservatism. Any ideas?

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...

PETER JENNINGS REPORTING: UFO's: LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) -- Each year there are thousands of reports of unidentified flying objects, but the U.S. government doesn't investgate any of them. This special program will seriously examine the unexplained phenomena around the world that so many people believe is proof of the existence of UFOs.

Can someone please tell me what the meaning of the wearing of pajamas to protest in is? I just don't get it. Thanks :)

Bill Clinton, it was reported on CNN ( just after his recent hospital admission) had dinner with Dan Rather in Little Rock about two months before his surgery. Could it be that the illegal CBS documents were in the works as a result of this meeting? A little investigative reporting might help solve this mystery. The report was so sketchy that the name of the restuarant is lost on me, but it was said to be Clinton's favorite Little Rock establishment. Please someone, investigate. This could be important news.

Will Dick Cheney step aside tonight? Did anyone else hear this rumor?

So many changes. I am sure that they are great. But I can't navigate FR like I used to. I feel so helpless, like John Kerry in a real war zone. Things are indented, and it looks like something is reading my mind (or trying to). Am I alone? This is not a complaint, just a global obesrvation. [x] This is SOOO Not an Excerpt.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - It's healthy and tasty, for those with expensive tastes. Farmers in northern Sweden are milking moose and making cheese, which they sell for a lot of dough — nearly $500 a pound. The buyers include upscale hotels and restaurants in Sweden. AP Photo Christer Johansson and his wife, Ulla, started their 59-acre dairy farm "Moose House" seven years ago in Bjursholm, 404 miles north of the capital, Stockholm. They claim it is the only moose dairy farm in Europe. The Johanssons currently have 14 moose in the fields but only three — "Gullan," "Haelga" and "Juna" —...

If that stupid little hoe can't find other ways to get money off that farm, then SHE'S stupid :) Don't diss on PETA just because they're right, ok? ok. I'm a student at UCLA and a PETA member!

Help us and join the crowd to force the big oil companies to lower the gas prices!!
