 10. Blog hawking (I know, I know, we're supposed to be nice.)  9. Run-on, single-paragraph posts 8. Pings to Jim Robinson with kiss ass complements 7. Posting "hugh and series", "stuned beeber" or "Bush's fault" 6. A post asking a noOb if they are sure they're logged in 5. Passive-aggressive keyword epithet war 4. Satire posts that fool you (the rest are hilarious) 3. Viking Kitties (just kidding... love ya'... really...  who'd poke fun at you...  rah roh.) 2. Vanities 1. ...

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

Biofuel refineries in the US have set fresh records for grain use every month since May. Almost a third of the US corn harvest will be diverted into ethanol for motors this year, or 12pc of the global crop. The world's grain stocks have dropped from four to 2.6 months cover since 2000, despite two bumper harvests in North America. China's inventories are at a 30-year low. Asian rice stocks are near danger level. Yet farm commodities have largely missed out on Bernanke's reflation rally in metals, oil, and everything else.

FORT WORTH, Texas - Police in Fort Worth are searching for an exotic dancer after she apparently zapped a co-worker with a stun gun. Cops have been looking for Kathleen Bennett since Saturday night's run-in with a waitress at a joint called the Cabaret North. Bennett was apparently fired by the club's manager and went off on the waitress, Jennifer McReynolds. That's when McReynolds says she was shocked by the device -- in the face. "She was arguing with our waitress before and we warned her about the argument, to calm down. And we were just gonna have her leave...

I was embarrassed for my country when many Americans let the fear of terrorism turn them into cringing cowards, willing to give up our basic civil liberties for the illusion of safety, ignoring how we are 200 times more likely to die in our automobile than in a terrorist attack on our soil. I am equally embarrassed today. Many of my fellow Americans have let themselves be manipulated by corporate interests and ratings-hungry media. They have become frightened, angry, and unable to cooperate to form a more perfect union. Why do so many Americans have so little faith in our...

Google "Tea Party" ...You won't get anything about the organization or locations anywhere near the top level of the search. Funny, it was right on top last night. What do you think?

The Prophetic Promises Given To Israel In The "Latter Days"    by Marshall Beeber   Israeli flag at Western Wall An Overview of the StudyThe purpose of this study is to better understand the many prophecies given to the nation of Israel concerning the return or reign of the Messiah in the "Latter Days". The term "Latter Days" is used in both New and Old Covenant scriptures describing the events surrounding the coming of the Messiah and the age following His coming. This study shows both Christians and Jews that the purposes of God toward both the nation of...

Hi. Did you know that the Monarchy is today's Royal Family and the Royal Art and Residence? Not that I'm bothered it doesn't mean anything to me.

Over the past several days, the only real movement in South Carolina’s Republican Presidential Primary has been a four-point gain for Fred Thompson and a five-point decline for Mike Huckabee. The big winner from that trade-off is John McCain. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows McCain at 28%, Huckabee at 19%, Mitt Romney at 17%, and Fred Thompson at 16%. Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul are tied with 5% support. Giuliani is betting his entire campaign on a strong showing in Florida, where he is now tied for the lead with three others....

Hannity & Colmes was another Romney infomercial tonight. Hannity carried Romney over 3 commercial breaks. It is amazing when you contrast the gentle treatment Fox gives Romney when you contrast it with Huckabee. They don't pull any punches when Huckabee is on. They slam him with accusations but do it by saying "so and so says this about you, how are you going to respond to them when they accuse you of this?" LOL! They do this day and night on Fox and on radio and they had the audacity to question Huckabee for showing the media an ad he...

There is an unwritten rule in politics, especially WITHIN the Republican Party that the candidates don't come out and speak over one another. I am not a McCain supporter as I see him as just as liberal as Giuliani. However, I was looking forward to HEARING John McCain make his concession speech. About 90 SECONDS after McCain came out to speak, Romney comes out to interrupt McCain's speech obviously to quell any positive that might come out of McCain's concession. This guy is way to slimey.

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this. 1. It's impossible for us to enforce.2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.4. Thick skin helps.5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply. Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps. Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would...

I have NO idea Why FREEREPUB deleted my last post... It was about non-USA (non-American) citizens and their view on USA... (Being that they have NO right to judge OR view OR tell USA what to do)... FREEPER, I NEVER typed a vulgar word that a child of ANY AGE would not, could not, and SHOULD not be able to read. IF you want to ban me after this message because I spoke against your deletion of my last message (which had NO offensive words to/from/about children)... then I SHALL and WILL label you to the same level as wikkipedia...

A routine flight to tag a cow moose took a bizarre turn this weekend when the tranquilized animal charged the tail section of a hovering helicopter, collided with the rear rotor and brought down the aircraft. The injured animal was euthanized at the scene. The incident happened near the southeast town of Gustavus late Saturday afternoon, and baffled officials with the Federal Aviation Administration and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. "I have never personally seen or heard of an injury of this type, caused to an animal by an aircraft," said Doug Larsen, regional supervisor for the Division...

Guys this is going to take the cake. About 10 days ago at work one of my coworkers was typing away listening to Sean on his radio. (we get it on tape delay) The supervisor walked by and noted the station that showed up on the digital display. He berated him for listening to Sean because he is an evil conservative whack job and it offends people around him. Note he had headphones on so nobody could hear his radio. And in an office where the leader has a radio on at all times low that we can hear but...
