You know who you are. You're the one posting stupid comments about what a loser Johnny is. You're the one getting on the political chat shows and telling everyone that you think Obama is super great and that he's going to win! Yeay! And your supposed to be a conservative. Why don't you shut up! I'm talking to all the whiners who piled on and joined the Chris Matthews bandwagon and declared Johnny an old man and a big dull loser. He did fine last night. He was the boss on foreign policy. He's never been a dazzling public speaker...

I was sending an email to someone and spell check came up and the suggested Osama as the correct spelling for Obama. I am using MS Word 2002 with Outlook.

They are the leaders of the spelling-reform movement, a passionate but sporadic 800-year-old campaign to simplify English orthography. In its long and failure-ridden history, the movement has tried to convince an indifferent public of the need for a spelling system based on pronunciation. Reformers, including Mark Twain, Charles Darwin and Theodore Roosevelt, argued that phonetic spellings would make it easier for children, foreigners and adults with learning disabilities to read and write. For centuries, few listened, and...

Has anyone noticed that the Free Republic spellcheck function isn't recognizing some contractions as spelled correctly?

When are Liberals going to get it? The result of the past several elections show that the country is very nearly split 50-50 and yet liberal movie stars and musicians go out and bash Republicans. Why deliberately poke the eye of 50% of your potential market - Econ 101 anyone? As a result movie revenues are down, concert tickets aren't selling (Dixie Chicks) major contracts are not being renewed. The same with news outlets. The NY Time, LA Times, WAPO, etc. are all reporting declining revenue and profits. Gee, is there any link to the fact that they go out...

A joint U.S. and Canadian organization that certifies encryption tools for use by federal government agencies has suspended its validation of OpenSSL cryptographic technology for the second time in less than six months..."There are some vendors fighting like hell to make this die, and I can see why," said Weathersby. "What's going on is the question of the day. This is not a technology issue; this is a political issue."

A recent article in the UK Telegraph offered insights into the many ways that Islamists in Baghdad are making life, by increments, miserable for citizens of the city. Ice producers, crucial in helping people survive in Iraq’s 115 degree summer heat, have recently suffered several murders from their ranks. The reason: Their product was not available during the time of Mohammed. Street venders who sell the popular Middle Eastern food falafel have also lost two of their own in the past few weeks, with other venders now closing their stalls. The same reason is offered by the Islamists, namely, that...

I wrote my Rep John Culberson here in Texas. I asked that we protect the free expression of religion on public property. I feel it is important because our Forefathers gave us God given rights (Inalienable rights). If God is removed from public view, who will remember that we have God given rights and no man or government can take these rights away? It is important to show that we are not pleased with a Judge or anyone who rules over our God given rights. My Congressman wrote back and said he is a cosponsor of H J Res 57....

The All-State high school quaterback wants to date my homeschooled daughter. The boy and his brother are two of the hardest working high school athletes I have ever seen. His parents have been married for nearly 20 years. They attend church semi-regularyly. My daughter has never been on a date.

Today a new ping list is starting on FreeRepublic, called TechSupport it will be a place for Freepers to get some help on problems that ight arise on their computers. Why a list for this: Some of the freepers who run or are involved in technical ping list find themselves with a good deal of mail from people asing about problems that many freepers might be able to and have more time to help with. I have spoken to a few people who either run list or are involved on them and they fell this would accomplish three things. Firstly...

At about 1:05 I met RaceBannon at Park Street Station on the Common, it was cold and clear. Race was passing the time debating some of the local lefies, confused in mind and gender, while waiting for troops to show up, he was in fine form. I informed Race that we were to meet up with Electric Strawberry and the rest at City Hall Plaza. When we arrived the FReepers present were: ElecticStrawberry, Little Bill, Race Bannon, Chessel, Thirsty Man, Stephen12, CTBigPat, and the lurker Snooper. We also picked up some interested people, one a self admitted Liberal Democrat, oh...

Brokeback Mountain author Annie Proulx recalls a bitter night at the Oscars.ON THE sidewalk stood hordes of the righteous, some leaning forward like wind-bent grasses, the better to deliver their imprecations against gays and fags to the open windows of the limos - the windows open by order of the security people - creeping towards the Kodak Theatre for the 78th Academy Awards. Others held up sturdy, professionally crafted signs expressing the same hatred. The red carpet in front of the theatre was larger than the Red Sea. Inside, we climbed grand staircases designed for showing off dresses. The circular...

Killing many of th innocent does not uphold what the Constituion clearly wnats in severe regards. I don't want Ben Ladin to prevail in what is the most serious of kinds but doing the deeds of crminilaty my not work to the good advantage too. In 1932, said that no type of terror shouild work to stop the good. This may be true but I see Gitmo and Afghanistan over and abopve what the good in iraq will come and find a tough balnce to meet. We shall see.

Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, or her consultancy firm Albright Group LLC, has taken over the job of special adviser of the chairman of the board of managers of the Kosovo Internet Provider Ipko Net, which will compete for a new mobile provider in the province. As it was stated from Ipko Net, the company recently founded a joint firm, with mixed capital, with the American Western Wirless International from Seattle, with which, as it was said, it intended to compete for a 'second mobile operator' in Kosovo." 4 days ago, Kosovo UN authorities started torning off Belgrade...

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

Before we bust out the .50 caliber rifles and start shooting people from a mile away it’s important to know exactly who we’re talking about. Your parents, the baby boomers, are between 40 and 60 years old. They “stopped a war.” They “can’t remember the 60s” and they ruined everything for every generation to come. Though their politics were knee-jerk liberal 25 years ago, today they combine the worst of both parties. They pretend to be Democrats but secretly vote Republican at the last second so they don’t have to pay taxes on the incredible amount of income they’ve accrued...

who needs freedom anyway? I mean, look at what it's doen to us. America has more crime, more poverty, and more problems than any other country in the world all beacuse of freedom. The freedom to do what we want but shouldn't there be limits? Especially now that we are at war? Allowing the liberals to smear our soldiers and to sympathize with arabs is demoralizing. We never had this problem in WWII. We just threw them into camps if they messed up. Back when this country was young, we had no freedom. Everyone went to church, women did what...

Dear Cindy: Your wrong about Iraq. Saddam had everything to do with terrorism and 9-11. And was a serious threat even your beloved Bill Clinton said so. Your commercial that you use to cram your seditous message down my throat makes me puke. You and all your croanies are endagering my childrens future and Americas future. You have betrayed your fallen sons honour. Who died defending his country and fellow Americans like me.. unlike you..I AM PROFOUNDLY GREATFUL AND SAD AT HIS SACRIFICE.

Ray McGovern a 27-year senior CIA intelligence analyst has exposed the lies of the Neocons and the Israeli-controlled foreign policy of the United States. The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration “Neocons” so “the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world.” He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. “Israel is not allowed to be...

Hello, i got here thru a link and started to read, i like the "intellegent" debate. if i have to label myself, then i am a liberal. Who happens to share common views with consrvatives and other people. the only difference between a liberal and conservative in my opinion is that while both may have the same views, a liberal is not going to use legislation to force his/her views onto others. I like to spout my opinion, and encourage others to do the same, thats what america is about! thats how things get done for the good of the...

IRAQ - U.S. soldiers have detained in Iraq two Russian citizens among over 1,000 foreigners, Russian Information Agency Novosti reported. The other detainees are from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Yemen. A special committee including officials from the Human Rights, Interior and Justice Ministries, and of the coalition command will consider the cases of the detained foreigners, Amin said. He noted that Iraq was not going to extradite the detainees to their home countries. The U.S.-led forces have been fighting a guerilla war against local and foreign insurgents in Iraq since toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003. Seven Russian...

Geeks Give Hillary 'Weasel Award' The Information Technology Professionals Association of America (ITPAA), an advocacy group based in Wilmington, Del., representing professionals in the high-tech field, has handed out its first Weasel Award of 2005 to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. The organization, representing over 1,200 IT professionals nationwide, presents this award to business and political leaders who it believes betray the trust of the American people. Scott Kirwin, founder of the organization, states, "We are tired of Democrats pretending they care about the problems facing average Americans. Senator Clinton’s actions prove they clearly do not." The ITPAA based its...

OK, I am in a new job. For some reason, they don't use outlook here. They use ACT! and everybody shares the same calander. It if fine for scheduling business meetings, but I am used to haveing my own Outlook, and filling up my Calander with various things like "Call jim back", or "remember to call mom", or "follow up with Fred" and I don't want to fill up the corporate calander with all my stuff. It's really annoying. Is there any good calander/scheduler ont the net that anyone can reccomend? Does Mozilla have one? Thanks

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - R. Craig Hogan, a former university professor who heads an online school for business writing here, received an anguished e-mail message recently from a prospective student. "i need help," said the message, which was devoid of punctuation. "i am writing a essay on writing i work for this company and my boss want me to help improve the workers writing skills can yall help me with some information thank you". Hundreds of inquiries from managers and executives seeking to improve their own or their workers' writing pop into Dr. Hogan's computer in-basket each month, he says, describing...

Just signed up to see what The KKK and it's supporters are up to- as usual I found the most racist, sexist homophobic war monging hate mongering idiots I've ever seen gathered in one place all right here on this one website. It's good to know you assholes are can all be communicated to in one place- since most of you are illiterate and ignorant it will be easy to disseminate info to you redncek losers.

I was using Google yesterday, searching for sources with info about the 1960 U.S. Presidential election. My search results included to my surprise, an old post I made on FR, that was only remotely related to the election. Same results with other search engines I used. My understanding of websites is that usually only keywords, slected and listed by the website, were "seen" by search engines. My search results included hundreds of links, some that I would not want to visit because they are questionable or leftist sounding. Worse, some of these sites are likely to be "under watch" by...

MY RESPONSE TO THOSE FREEPERS WHO OPPOSE HJR 56... First and foremost this is NOT petty... it is critical in this day and age that we RE-AFFIRM our MORAL foundation. I AGREE with those opponents who are concerned that the U.S. Constitution should not have to be this SPECIFIC, ....HOWEVER, our JUSTICE system has failed us miserably... by equating a union of two people of the same sex to MARIAGE.... this is a HUGE step in destroying the MORAL foundation of our laws. I believe that by NOT passing this ammendment the effect will be exactly what some opponenets fear...

I wonder how the democRATS would respond to some republican dirty tricks. Note: I'm not encouraging any dirty tricks or illegal activity, I'm simply opening a discussion of dirty tricks that Republican's could use (but won't) and what the RATs would think if we did any of these things. For example: What would the RATs say if about 1 week before the election an email was sent out to NJ voters that mixed up the voting rules.OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, STATE OF NEW JERSEY You may or may not be aware that our honorable Senator Toricelli has removed...
