Free Republic

<p>I know you are dismayed and disheartened at the results of last week's election. You're worried that the country is heading toward a very bad place you don't want it to go. Your 12-year Republican Revolution has ended with so much yet to do, so many promises left unfulfilled. You are in a funk, and I understand.</p>

In the new Rasmussen poll, Casey leads Santorum 49-39%, and the new Keystone poll shows it 45-38% with Casey ahead. If Santorum is going to make a move, it had better start happening soon...

<p>If you go to google website and search for "failure" The first thing listed is George W. Bush bio.</p>

THESE ARE THE SENATORS WHO VOTED TO GIVE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY, THESE POLITICIANS NEED TO BE DEFEATED IN 2006, 2008 OR 2010, WHENEVER THEY NEXT COME UP FOR OFFICE. SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW; THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES NEEDS TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION -- THAT IS, UNLESS THEY DO NOT MIND SHARING THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY WITH FOREIGN WORKERS WHO NEVER PAID INTO IT AND AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEING LEFT OUT. Grouped by Home State Alabama: Alaska: Stevens (R-AK), Yea Arizona: McCain (R-AZ), Yea Arkansas: Lincoln (D-AR), Yea Pryor (D-AR),...

I am curious why none of the media covers the most important aspect of the Malvo shootings. If you look at Newspapers on the dates when the shootings are underway you discover something I find quite interesting. The shootings begin to dominate the news the day before the debate on the Iraq war starts and they catch them the day after the declaration of war??? If you ask most people "do you remember the debate about starting the second Iraq war", they will all answer "yes of course". But if you followup with the question "name one point in the...

I recently received a reply to a post that stated: "This should be beneath a "freeper". Sad." So I asked.. what is it that makes a FReeper? My reply (and I will admit was tasteless) was also questioning. It stirred controversy and was removed? Why Moderators? Can you not tell me? Did it not meet with your "FReeper" mentality? According to all posted guidelines it should be listed but no, you chose to delete it. Yes.. I'm the first one IBTZ, I'm sure you'll nick me for speaking up..

HILLARY R.CLINTON vs CONDOLEEZA RICE, GEORGE W. BUSH vs MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD

All my life, I believed in Republican values -- individual responsibility and limited government. Then it happened; I found myself with a small child, unemployed and disabled. I turned to my church, and after years of regular tithes, suddenly I just wasn't their problem. My Republican friends? I was now a pariah to them. My only relief was to turn to government assistance for housing, food, and other needs and I was able to survive with dignity. So chalk me up as one who no longer drinks the GOP koolaid.

It seems that a "clean up" has taken place at the Protest Warriors Forum. They have banned several of there conservative members that supposedly had been posting gay pornography, starting personal attack topics against users, and/or spamming the forum. I have been a member of Protest Warrior for almost three years and have not seen one of the people mentioned ever post "gay porn", and the only time they have ever insulted or attacked anyone from the forum was in self defense. Most of the banned did have strong conviction when it came to homosexuality. Obviously there are quite a...

John McCain is running for President 2008. As a republican candidate, John McCain could win the republican nomination. Many feel if John McCain runs against Hillary Clinton, he would win the presidential election in 2008. John McCain graduated from the Naval Academy in 1958. After graduation, John McCain became a Naval Avaitor. For over 5 years, John McCain was a Vietnam captive. John McCain became a US Senator for Arizona in 1986. Senator John McCain is now Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and is known for his successful passing of Campaign Finance Reform. Express your...

Ive been a member of this website for almost a year now and I am appaled by the biases that are against our president! SO WHAT IF BUSH WANTS ILLEGALS IN AMERICA! I DONT CARE! AS LONG AS THEY ARENT MUSLIMS! WE NEED THEM TO CUT OUR GREASSE and MOW THE LAWN! This new port deal I believe is also a good idea as is going to iraq! I also support Bush giving tax cuts to buisnesses that send their labor overseas so that they can also learn to be good capitalists. IF YOU DONT FULLY SUPPOT BUSH AND WHAT...

There's no helping you. This site is now just a diversion -- like a train wreck. This site is inherently for and about raving egomaniacs, and Jim's site policies -- which amount to excluding reality and actual dialogue in favor of political/militaristic pornography -- is conducive to cognitive dissonance, which at the times your worldview is threatened leads you into psychotic breaks (on the political cognitive plane, that is, and just maybe in other realms too). Not to mention that your baseline politics is based in mythology about American demographics, science, economics, ethics etc. You spoonfeed each other in the...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

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...

Yaa, you repukes are not doing so well, huh? Imagine, you repukes control the presidency, both houses of Congress, and appointed 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices. Yet the Supreme Court thre out sodomy laws in all 50 states and recognized the right of government to seize land for any reason. And you couldn't pass your Social Security changes could you? Sorry, that was your last shot. Come November, we're going to start seeing more Democratic faces in the House. It's the end for you guys. You guys are celebrating when Bush's numbers go *up* to 45%. Then Faux...

Bush’s giant Right Wing Noise Machine (RWNM) loves to preach about the Bush economic miracle. In fact, the RWNM’s current thinking is Bush doesn’t spend enough time talking about his economic triumphs. If only he did, then everyone would fall in line and believe in the great Bush economic miracle. There is one problem with this argument: it’s a lie. Any way you look at the Bush economy, it comes up short. Today, I want to compare Bush’s job creation record with other economic recoveries. As usual, Bush comes up way short. The national Bureau of Economic Research has identified...

Why does anybody support George w Bush as President? He is clearly the worst President I have ever seen -- a complete disaster. And before you say anything, I have been a registered Republican for 25 years.

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...

George W. Bush has ripped the Constitution down from the White House wall, used it to blow his nose, spat on it, torn it into shreds, thrown the shreds in the trash, then squatted over that trash and taken a dump. And what have the "Conservatives" at FR done while he was doing this? They cheered him on! A truly sad day. If the founding fathers had wanted the President to be spying on our phone calls, they would have said so.

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...

Who is a Real sniper????? And not a terroist??

<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...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- More than half of North Carolina military members surveyed in the latest Elon University poll disapprove of President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and his overall job performance. Nearly 53 percent of military members said they strongly disapproved or disapproved of Bush's handling of his job. And just more than 56 percent of that same group strongly disapproved or disapproved of how he has dealt with the Iraq war. Overall, 53 percent of those surveyed for the poll released Friday did not approve of Bush's job performance, while 57 percent did not approve of his...

I am an internet java script sent to infiltrate your site and transform you from political neanderthals into a modern 21st Century progressive mode. This is your first warning. Do not try and resist. It is useless. Accept your fate. You will be assimilated.

Can you believe that folks actually donate money to The Free Republic.com censors/cheerleaders, when they could otherwise donate to impoverished kids! I posted the first 3 paragraphs of my home page on 10-7-05 at around 6:30 am, with a fresh identity, using treasury as the link source, at freerepublic.com. The thread was pulled in about 5 minutes and my posting privilages revoked. The first reply suggested that Europe had a debt problem as well, to which I replied that the DX might indicate that they might not be increasing their money supply as fast as we are and included a...

Give me one reason why "judicial extraordinaire" Harriet Miers is qualified to sit on the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court. One.

Take a look at these polling numbers of the gebric congressional voting preference: Newsweek: Democrats 50 GOP 38 Pew: Democrats 52 GOP 40 Fox News: Democrats 38 GOP 35 Not even Fox News could manufactire a GOP lead. Is there any way the Democrats won't take back Congress? I don't see how. Do you think we can protest the Democratic government or something?

Who cares if it is the National Enquirer? They were right about Limbaugh. I didn't think they would be right about Limbaugh, but they were. MAYBE SOMEONE INFORMED BECAUSE THEY REALIZE HELP IS NEEDED! THIS ISNT A JOKE. ITS ABOUT LIVES, ALL OF OURS! We need to know? WHO CARES ABOUT POLITICS. IS OUR PRESIDENT SOBER? WHY CANT WE GET AN ANSWER? ALL OF MY GROUP MEMBERS THINK THIS IS SCARY. WE JUST NEED AN HONEST ANSWER. Cheney can be President. Maybe the President needs help. ITS TOO IMPORTANT TO IGNORE. ALL OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT. DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN --...

Do you think she'll go out with me?

Doug From Upland's siting Arianna Huggington and Al Gore exiting large vehicles at a conference on the environment in San Francisco has set the blogs afire. But there are legitimate uses for large vehicles. Really there are. The I just don't think one person driving the LA freeways in one because the want to win a collision contest at the expense of the unfortunate person they might collide with isn't one. Neither is having bigger, always spinning wheels than your neighbor. Neither is because you get a tax writeoff for a vehicle you use only for commuting and driving to...

I am so proud of my country for invading Iraq that I want to go fight, too. I can't wait to kill as many Iraqis as possible -- just as any good American would want to do. At the same time, I can help bolster the profits of that fine American company, Haliburton. If I am really, really lucky, I will be killed there just as any American would be proud to do. The best scenario would be if my death could result in more Republicans bieng installed in government to invade other countries. I consider myself the luckiest man...

YO! YO! YO! CHECK IT OUT!! IM GONNA PROPHESY TONIGHT! PROPHESY TOOONIIIIIGHT! IM GONNA PROPHESY TONIGHT! PROPHESY TOOONIIIIIGHT! IM GONNA PROPHESY TONIGHT! PROPHESY TOOONIIIIIGHT! IM GONNA PROPHESY TONIGHT! PROPHESY TOOONIIIIIGHT! IM GONNA PROPHESY TONIGHT! PROPHESY TOOONIIIIIGHT! IM GONNA PROPHESY TONIGHT! PROPHESY TOOONIIIIIGHT!

Bush has blood on his hands. If support him, you do too!

To the editor: One would think that the president of the United States holds the most stressful job ever. Isn't it wonderful that our pompous president is in such excellent condition healthwise? And why not? His eligible daughters aren't in Iraq protecting our country like so many others, more than 1,800 who have given their lives for a war that he started. With a smirk on his face, he says, "We will stay the course." Who is "we?" Not him or his family. Heck no. He's on a month's vacation. If he's so gung-ho about this war, show us some...

How utterly evil the Palis must be to have rejected a state as natural in its borders as the one shown above! (this was the only way to slice and dice Palestine so that "Israel" could be born with a Jewish majority). Slicing and dicing into islands is called apartheid. picture is from: http://www.jafi.org.il/education/100/maps/part.html Though Balfour, himself, was in favor of a Jewish state, Great Britain particularly favored the declaration as an act of policy. Britain wanted the United States to join World War I and the British hoped that by supporting a Jewish homeland in Palestine, world Jewry...

I AM A RETIRED ARY STAFF SERGEANT WHO SERVED IN VIETNAM ON TWO TOURS. I SERVED IN 1968 AND 1969. I HAVE SEEN THE ATROCITIES AND CARNAGE WAR LEAVES IN ITS WAKE. I AM REPUBLICAN AND I DID VOTE FOR MR.BUSH (BOTH TERMS) I THINK BUSH SENIOR WAS A WAY BETTER LEADER THEN HIS KID. I HATE THE WAY THIS PRESIDENT IS TREATING THIS KIA SOLDIERS MOTHER. HIDING FROM THIS WOMAN IS ONLY HURTING HIS APPROVAL RATE. THIS IS THIS GUYS M.O. HE HID FROM THE VIETNAM DRAFT ALSO, BUT THIS IS FAR WORSE. ALL YOU PEOPLE POSTING ON THIS...

I recently read a great book called Amongst The Marines by Steven Preece. I bought a few from the Amazon.com website but this is the one that stood out. Its a perfect example of bullying amongst the military ranks and what this type of behaviour turns people into.

NOVAK: Isn’t that the decline of values in language that is… that is poisoning America?

<p>When Bill Clinton was President evrything was wondeful and merry and I didn't drink. But now all is gloomy and depressing with terror and wars and the stresss of having that awfull man as president who stole elctions makes just want to drink. I drink 10 beers a day maybe more becase I don't count and sometimes I drink gin and rum. Now I have high blood pressure and liver enzymes.</p>

Excuse me for infiltrating your kingdom, but I need to vent. I just had to pay $2.41 a gallon for gas and I can't afford this. I blame Bush and his illegal wars for this travesty. And since you are part of the remaining 40% of dummies who still support that assclown, I blame you, too. I hope so much the Democrats take back Congress in 2006 so this nazi will be impeached and tossed in the clink. How you idiots can't see this man is pure evil, I don't know. Hopefully, both he and KKKarl Rove will be in...

For the past 20 years, there's been a discussion in political circles and the media about the "fault lines" in the Republican party over the hot-button social issues such as the death penalty, abortion, affirmative action and gay rights. The presumption has always been that these issues would ultimately cause a rift between conservatives and moderates that would split the Republican coalition. The pundits and the MSM have been expecting and predicting this split for as long as I've been watching politics and they've been puzzled by the fact that it has never occurred. I believe that the reason that...

A small town in Indiana and a brief filed saying that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided are entirely positive signs on first inspection, but the second reveals only a leaning and not a falling off on one side or the other. This is, of course, by White House design for the public understanding of Judge Roberts. Bush has exhibited his recurrent traits and examining G.W. Bush right now is the only way to know what really is in the heart of Judge Roberts. Roberts is deliberately without much record. He is deliberately congenial and with friends all around. He...

America is very very bad country. Horrible country. Shame on you freepers for not including afghanistan and iran and iraq and all the other middle easterns countries on the list you segregationist. You got to be ashamed. Cause were brown, One day we browns will come and get you racist.

Funny thing came to my mind just recently, With all of those stories on Free Republic on how the world hates us and all that? I wonder if someday the world will gang up on the U.S. A old quote I remember my pricipal saying when I was in school was "Whatever bad things you do, Will come back to you harder" and it seems after couple of centuries of bringing hatred, segregation and so on to the world. The world may have had enough, The French hate us, The Muslims, The Chinese, The Russians, Part of South Asia, Cuba,...

Do any of you really believe that spending 100 billion dollars a year in NATION BUILDING in Iraq is a good thind? Yes, Nation Building, Remeber that issue? Oh BTW, how much did it cost you to fill up your gas tank this week? HMMM. Not good, huh? Leaking national security secrets. Parsing the truth about it. Where have you heard that before? Hmmm. Should we be ostriches? Really.

We should not be fighting the Islamicists but joining forces with them. As a conservative who does not drink or smoke, believes the body is the Lord's temple, and that women should be submissive to their husbands, I find the Islamic message to be a breath of fresh air. We need to welcome the Islamicist lifestyle to turn America away from the debauchery of today and return us to the puritanical society we are meant to have.

I am ashamed of how Americans treat the homeless and the needy in their urban cities and how this website denigrates the poor and less fortunate. You people are the richest country on earth and you will not even give out a scrap to those who are on the streets begging for a living! They need jobs, they need to feed their families, and you won't even help out shame on you! The Bible says that God will judge the nations that forget the poor! You wont be rich forever, these poor ones will go to heaven and you'll go...

Why do we sit behind our computers? Why not enroll? Who is with me? The real message we can send to the left is to enroll in the military. Who's coming with me? I am going this afternoon. Stand up for your President and this country. Stop being an armchair supporter. Lets mobilize. Who's with me?
