Free Republic

Sean Penn bales water out of a boat with a plastic cup as he and members of his entourage make an attempt to rescue stranded people in New Orleans.

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...

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...

I thought you right wingers were supposed to be in church about now? What's up?

Weve all seen and heard of a place called Free Republic, its full of divorced or wife-beating conservative slobs who have the hygene of John Goodman after a long picnic. They thrive on stupid,worthless topics that focus around the "wonder of life" and "lets keep people who cant feel or think alive because were to stubborn to admit that its pretty damn foolish". But above all other abominations in this world is the wretched "Admin Mod", a man of horrible values and the judgement of a meth lab. It is he who makes free republic, well not free at all,...

I read through this thread and I got to thinking... "Gosh, I wanna be a newbie." So I figured I'd ante up and take my beating. :) My name is Aaron and I'm a newbie. The first step to recovery is admitting I have a problem. Beat down, boys. I won't flinch. :)

This is a hurriedly written piece on which I plan to elaborate in the near future. First of all, let me state I am an Americanist patriot. I am not a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian nor any party person. I have come to realize over a number of years -- especially at the national level -- that a person who hopes to get enough popular support to win has to appeal to and placate many interest groups. The result of all this is that one has to stand for virtually everything, and by virtue of that very fact, one actually stands...

New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has long been rumored as desperately seeking the democratic nomination for president in 2008. And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts. From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president. Her brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, say it's true. Friends...

Prince Harry’s Nazi outfit would not have been tolerated in the Army and he would have been punished for his actions, a former British commander said today. Colonel Bob Stewart said he would have given the 20-year-old prince, who will join the forces later this year, two weeks’ worth of extra duties for being pictured dressed up in a fascist uniform, complete with swastika armband. The army hero, who led British UN troops in Bosnia, branded the antics “bad taste”, saying they had caused offence to many people. Harry is set to attend the prestigious Sandhurst military academy for officer...

Oh Boy! Just when you thought the legacy media might have wised-up in the wake Dan Rather's career crash, along comes Nick Coleman, the worst columnist at the Worst Major Daily Newspaper in America. The old adage is that when you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging. Instead, Nick has rented a metaphorical backhoe. Coleman is about to gain fame well beyond his home market, and I don't think he is going to enjoy the experience. Evidently, Nick has been wounded deeply by the ridicule he has endured at the hands of fellow Minnesotans John Hinderaker and...

On Sunday night, I had an educational discussion with a liberal. He challenged my opinion in new ways as I challenged his opinion in new ways. It was very refreshing to have a civil conversation with someone from the other side. Then, Michael Moore showed up (an hour late). Moore was anything but civil and anything but refreshing. But it's important that we hear these "controversial" opinions, according to the President of this fine university. Given that, it was kind of ironic when Moore declared over and over again that the majority holds these opinions. What was truly amazing was...

A few days ago while having lunch at a bar/grill, several TVs were tuned into CNN or one of the cable news channels. A democratic pundit was asked the question: "What would John Kerry have done differently than President Bush in Iraq?" The pundit responded the exact same way I have seen Kerry himself respond 100% of the time he is asked this question. "I would have gotten a much broader multilateral coalition....blah...blah...blah." I piped up rather rudely and loudly as asked the TV.... "Then why didn't he? We are at war and even the President would welcome the help."...

What other conservative forums or discussion boards do Freepers recommend? Also, are there any forums other than DU where conservatives can engage in spirited, but good-natured, debate with liberals?

The reign of terror is nearly over. Bill Moyers is leaving the Public Broadcasting System. Admittedly, Moyers is no Robespierre. Just an insufferable elitist, an inveterate busybody, a mocker of Christians and a belligerent defender of the paternalistic state. There is a temptation to follow such purple prose by cracking "and those are his good qualities," because Moyers, who was largely a sycophant to President Johnson when he worked on his staff, is most certainly a hypocrite, as well. But let's not kick a man while he's down, or in this case on his way out - no matter how...

<p>PINSON, Ala. (AP) -- A Pinson man was charged with attempted murder for holding a gun to his son's head and pulling the trigger in the midst of a tantrum after Alabama's double overtime loss to Arkansas Saturday, authorities said.</p>

LONDON (Reuters) - An Iranian refugee has sewn his eyes, ears and mouth shut in protest at the rejection of his asylum application, a friend says. The move by Shahin Portofeh, 23, comes less than two months after another Iranian refugee, Abas Amini, won the right to stay in Britain after resorting to the same extreme tactic. "I'm standing next to him right now and he is in a lot of pain," said a woman describing herself as a friend and interpreter in Portofeh's bedroom in Coventry. The interpreter, who declined to be named, said Portofeh was lying on his...
