Can someone explain logging on to this forum?? Been lurking for years and now it's time to speak up...

PLANET 7 - BAN NOW!

If this works, I finally figured it out). I am so not good with computers.

With Halloween only a few days away, discussion of the paranormal is a staple of the creepy holiday each year. Anybody have any interesting anecdotes about their experiences with hauntings, Ouija boards, and ghosts? Even aside from the typical Halloween characters, have you encountered situations that you think were direct interventions from God? Anyone want to share their paranormal stories?

When I found out about the selective service registration I was devastated. I am 32 yrs. old, have a wife and three children and am struggling to make dinner much less a future. I was recently layed off for the second time in 1 yr. Going back to the unemployment office was something I dreaded. I heard that President Obama made it possible to recieve unemployment benefits while attending school to change your career!! Fantastic, I thought. After alot of thought and planning my wife and I decided this was best for our family. I went to my local college,...

An incredible host of conservative bloggers, ranging from Mark Tapscott at The Examiner, who is a member of the Freedom of Information Act Hall of Fame, to me and Brian Faughnan at respective blogs at the Washington Times, to the directors of Red State, to Breitbart's blog, to several at Red County, to a particularly well-researched one by Jim Geraghty at The Campaign Spot at NRO, .... has stepped forward in solidarity with John McCormack of the Weekly Standard to demand that New York congressional candidate Dede Scozzafava withdraw .....

Please stop. I've recently recommended FR to several people and if this is their first visit to FR well it makes me and everyone on here look like an ASS! Stop it already.

Howdy, fellow freepers! I've looked at the HTML code at that horrible "smear Glenn Beck" web site and found something interesting. It appears that this is not a bunch of jovial Internet pranksters suddenly becoming socialists and deciding to do a character assassination of Glenn Beck. This is what got my attention: From the "Glenn Beck slander web site" <!--meta name="keywords" content="social justice organization,low income family,anti-war,paid sick days, predatory lending,katrina relief,osi-new york,minimum wage,afl-cio,living wage,new orleans, urban education,urban schools, heath care,political,civic engagement,hurricane katrina, political prisoners, gulf coast,rebuilding,rebuild america" /-->Now compare this with acorn.org's meta-tags: <meta name="keywords" content="acorn,social justice organization,acrn,acorns,acron,low income family,moderate...

Why are forum replies reviewed and posting delayed? Makes it kinda tough to carry on a conversation when it takes hours to communicate.

My Opinion, The green czar has been working with the prisons, telling the Muslim population they have Union jobs when they get out in the Solar Panel industry. The Administration knows they would have a difficult time getting our Armed Forces to go against us. But the recently released prison population would have no problem going door to door confiscating our weapons. (Beware) This will very soon, so take what ever action you need to take to protect your homes. Remember what happened in Rowanda, there they stole,looted, raped and killed and took whatever they wanted. I sure hope I'm...

Hi everyone I’m new here at FreeRepublic, but I need help from people I trust. I trust the people here, who understand that no government bureaucrat should decide who gets health care… my father has a serious health condition and as hes getting older I worry… and I don’t want to worry that OBOMBO’s death panel will decide whther he should live or die. ONLY GOD MAKES THAT CHOICE, but I understand that you all know this. America is the greatest country in the world because we are a free democracy where we choose and we have the life we...

Wow. I find it utterly astounding that people wasted their effort criticizing somebody for simply posting up lyrics to a song. You guys are truly leading the revolution! Right from your lap tops. Haha. I wonder if you would have the guts for any real activism. Doubt it highly. Have fun continuing to be a part of the millions of Americans, who believe that they are informed about world affairs from what CNN gives you. Count me out. And by the way... I do work. I dont do any kind of drug. But hey. What do I care if you...

I will not link to his site but the slimeball Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs IS BLAMING AMERICAN CITIZENS FOR VIOLENCE BEING PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM. This racist bigot has posted hateful things about arabs & muslims for years (not just terrorists but all muslims). Violence is wrong! Now surprise surprise when a black man is beaten & hospitalized in St. Louis by SEIU thugs and a cancer patient and business man are assaulted in Tampa by SEIU thugs it's their own fault. This man has a DEFECT and it's sick that any conservative EVER listened to him just because...

I'm tired of the government appropriating my money for liberal causes, therefore I wish to limit the funds that go to leftists either through taxation and especially with discretionary spending. I would like to know if there is a website that lists conservative owned and liberal owned businesses. A repository site like Angie's list or Yelp where conservatives can go to find local or national owned conservative businesses. I know this information isn't always available but sometimes it is through political signs during elections, personal contacts with the owners, or the conversations that take place in businesses etc. I no...

The MLB supports Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, despite all the alligations against Michael Jackson.

The papacy is among the most misunderstood and therefore wrongly hated institutions in all the world, much like the Catholic Church. I typically cringe when a Protestant pastor or leader decides to step up and call out or denounce the Pope for no good reason, simply on Protestant principal, objecting to the office as they do more so than the man himself, or any sin on his part. Certainly the man who holds the office is not beyond sin, or legitimate criticism, but the criticisms of modern day Popes tend not to be made on the basis of his personal...

<p>You all know that the country is going through a war against the socialized medicine that Obama is trying to rush through.</p> <p>And what I want to know is, where is Sarah in all this?</p> <p>This is the greatest fight for freedom in history, and she should be out in front.</p>

Well, Cap 'N Trade passed, what other method will Socialist Bastard Barack and his lackies use to destroy America. Count me in on any protest against this mad man who was born in Kenya ( as per his own family in Kenya ). He is not and will never be my president. This must be reversed ! We must work for 2010 to get this government back on track and if there is any way to impeach this bastard, please, anyone with ideas to bring this about, bring it to the media and persons who can accomplish this. This cannot...

The Boom-Time Bums These operators capitalized on regulatory gaps and used financial gimmicks to engineer quick profits and inflate share prices. Then they cashed out—leaving the rest of us with the bill. Among the notables: * Joe Cassano As president of AIG's financial products division, Cassano pioneered the insurance giant's sale of credit-default swaps, which allowed investors to buy insurance on packages of risky subprime loans they didn't even own. In one 2007 investor conference call, Cassano boasted that "it is hard for us … to even see a scenario that would see us losing one dollar in any of...

I'm just curious. Does it matter that to anyone that I don't fill in the "source" part of posts? Is it not enough that I give the URL? Does anyone except pissant give a damn? Get off my back, pissant! Just trying to do my part to save conservatism and fight Obamunism. Your pettiness about formatting gives this whole site a bad name. Not trying to start a fight; but get over yourself with the "proper posting" crap already!

For John Stossel fans -- looks like it'll cover bailout stuff but maybe also libertarian whining about illegal immigration and marijuana legalization enough to get freepers raging. Nevertheless, looking forward to it.

Rush said (in jest I believe) "that if this keeps up, I'm moving to New Zealand". That brought a lot of condemnation on this board. As I have been a lurker here for nearly 10 years, I signed up today - only to post to you good folks that we too are getting out while the gettin is good. We have been involved with the paperwork now for nearly three months, and many more months previous in research. You see, when you reach our age - you do not do something this Big for yourselves, you do them for your...

The Grand Old Party has lost its way. It is in the wilderness with no leader and no true goal, and it is there because its authoritarian nature on social issues has led it there.

This report suggests that noise can actually kill you. Unbelievable!!!

It is time to give our Republican Party an Enema: A PLAN (GOP Enema petition below) by MrArbitrage Timothy Geithner demonstrates either a total lack of competence or a serious candor deficiency. It's so compelling, how could we not see that we MUST put this guy in charge of the US Treasury? I actually heard David Gregory this morning on the Today Show inveigh that "under normal circumstances" Geithner would be under much more scrutiny but because of the seriousness of the times we are in, he will likely be confirmed. There’s more ingenious reasoning by the media and our...

It looks as though the USSC or for that matter any of our elected representatives are going to do anything to call into question Barrack Obama's foreign national status. So, it's up to us (American Citizens) to apply the pressure to get them to take notice. We can BOYCOTT any spending on luxury/non-essential items. This will get the governments attention. Pay your bills but don't spend your tax refund, don't spend your stimulus payment. Call in to local radio talk shows.......you know the drill. If it's good enough for Jesse Jackson, then it is certainly good enough for us in...

My heart and soul aches, knowing we as a whole have fallen short in electing for the first time in my life time a true American hero and figure that could have a monument build before he departs our planet for all he has done for US, as in you, me and the United States. I am an independent voter who now feels no faith again in our political system, Republicans have been two faced by initially hating McCain till nominated and then jump ship when he loses, Democrats selfishly ignore all the signs of Obama’s disrespect for our country...

I am amased that the news on new years day celebrates the first born of the new year has illegal immigrants for parents, payment to hospital goes to you and i the taxpayers of houston tx.Reporters would not even comment on parents or let them speak im sure because no englishhhh.

I'm back! And looking for my old friends from firetalk,and paltalk.Antivenim,USC,GRRRR,Dixie-Sass,,ect,etc.HAPPY NEW FR.

December 12, 2008 Obama's "natural born" problem By David Huntwork By now you are probably aware that there have been a multitude of lawsuits filed in regards to the question of whether or not President-elect Barack Obama is in fact eligible under the "natural born" provision of the Constitution of the United States of America to be the President of the United States (POTUS). The Constitutional provisions are very specific when it comes to the minimal qualifications for President. One is to be over thirty-five. He is. Two, is being in the country fourteen years. He has been. Three, is...

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's recent trip to Iowa, where they hold those presidential caucuses every four years, leads me to suspect he may share the media speculation that he could be the Next Great Thing in the Republican Party. It also reminded me how Jindal signed a dumb and devious bit of legislation last summer, allowing local school districts to promote alternative (i.e., religious) doctrines in their science curriculums when it comes to evolution. Jindal is obviously one bright guy. How can he equate ancient creation myths with the hard facts of physics and biology? One might think that the...

All Hail the Free Republic! There are, occasionally, developments that have the capacity to fundamentally change the landscape of our political culture. Historically these fundamental changes have happened once or perhaps twice in an average persons lifetime. In these times of weblogs and twenty-four hour news channels, we are seeing these fundamental changes happen all the more frequently and with all the more suddenness and impact upon our lives. No matter what the nature or scope of an event, or where it is in the world, and despite my subscriptions to God-knows-how-many news sources, I probably choose to get about...

Introducing the Robocopter: the newest and coolest looking weapon in the arsenal of the US Special Forces is entering combat this month. With this new and sophisticated flying eye in the sky the already dismal average life expectancy of the Islamonazis will be cut even shorter.

Born in the U.S.A. August 21, 2008 Updated: November 1, 2008 The truth about Obama's birth certificate. Summary In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake." We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets...

Dear Americans Friends: I would like share my knowledge and experience with you. My objective is to stay at the truth – especially at historical facts - and do not abuse anyone. History is the best teacher. If you do not history you can make the same mistake twice. If I make any mistake let me know and explain where and why I did. Thank you in advance. Members of my nation supported America during hard times as they can. You built for them monuments and call by names your army academies – thank you very much. Those men were:...

Americans, the time has come to resist what has been thrust upon us by our own government. Everything I'm reading and most evidence suggests that Americans and the American way of life are about to be threatened like never seen in our lifetime if President ELECT Obama takes office in January. WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO JOIN TOGETHER IN A RESISTANCE for ourselves and the futures of our children. If you are a Jewish American, a gun-owner, a Christian or simply an American that believes in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as promised by our...

Friday, Oct. 31, 2008 The Gay Mafia That's Redefining Liberal Politics By John Cloud / Beverly Hills A few weeks before Virginia's legislative elections in 2005, a researcher working on behalf of a clandestine group of wealthy, gay political donors telephoned a Virginia legislator named Adam Ebbin. Then, as now, Ebbin was the only openly gay member of the state's general assembly. The researcher wanted Ebbin's advice on how the men he represented could spend their considerable funds to help defeat anti-gay Virginia politicians. Ebbin, a Democrat who is now 44, was happy to oblige. (Full disclosure: in the mid-'90s,...

"Number one, we have got to stop defending the kind of spending and out-of-control spending that we would never tolerate in the other side. You know, when voters tell us that they trust Democrats more to cut their taxes [and] control spending, that tells you something is wrong with the Republican Party. We've got to match our actions with our rhetoric. "Number two, we've got to stop defending the kinds of corruption we would rightfully criticize in the other party. The week before the election, our most senior senator is convicted on federal charges - and that's only the latest...

As I noted in a post during the Republican convention in September, there was something fishy about the Republicans' use of the slogan "Country First" in the recent campaign. Why not "America First?" We got the answer the other day when the Bush administration continued its attack on the two U.S. Border Patrol agents who were sentenced to long jail terms for shooting and wounding a drug smuggler. The Bush Justice Department continued to go after the men this week and succeeded in an effort to prevent any significant reduction in the sentences of former agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose...

In view of the 2008 election, the Christian churches have been noticeably silent. Is this reluctance due to their fear of losing the tax exempt status?The recent election highlights this issue quite well. Candidates held moral positions that were in direct opposition to known biblical teachings. Despite the candidates support for issues like abortion, religious leaders allowed these candidates to go unchallenged from their pulpits.Religious leaders are fearful of losing the tax-exempt status if they speak out strongly regarding moral positions that candidates hold. Religious leaders are not directing their comments from their pulpits to influence decisions about candidates based...

I was just taking a quick look in the smoky backroom, and I noticed something about how many views and/or comments a posting got was, seemingly, directly related to the title of the post. The more that something was radical or polarizing, such as "O-BUM-uh is Communist Vampire!", well that posting seemed to get 10 times the views as a posting with a very bland title. That's interesting. I wonder what that tells us as faithful people. Well, for one, I think that we could deduce that Americans are very polarized right now. This is the chatter that is happening...

Troubled US carmakers General Motors and Ford Motor have been given a potentially devastating vote of no confidence by three big European credit insurers, which have removed cover from their suppliers. The withdrawal of credit insurance – which covered suppliers against the risk of the car companies’ failing – has previously hastened the demise of a string of European companies, with suppliers to retailers and construction companies finding cover increasingly hard to come by. Euler Hermes, Atradius or Coface, which control more than 80 per cent of the world’s credit insurance market, are refusing to write policies for suppliers trading...

It was among the juicier post-election recriminations: Fox News Channel quoted an unnamed McCain campaign figure as saying that Sarah Palin did not know that Africa was a continent. Who would say such a thing? On Monday the answer popped up on a blog and popped out of the mouth of David Shuster, an MSNBC anchor. “Turns out it was Martin Eisenstadt, a McCain policy adviser, who has come forward today to identify himself as the source of the leaks,” Mr. Shuster said. Trouble is, Martin Eisenstadt doesn’t exist.
