Free Republic

The enemy you know is way worse than the enemy that acts like your friend only to stab you in the back. Once Republicans have the numbers again in the future they're not going to reduce the size of government in any meaningful way, ever. THAT'S A PROMISE. We're on a one way path to larger and larger government. The way Republicans talk you'd think when they're in power they'd put half the federal government and spending on the chopping block. Surely that's what the republican constituents want, right? I think politicians of both parties forget that they are not...

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...

Howdy all, I'm a long-time lurker, occasional poster here on FR. I’ve always enjoyed the good articles, lively debate and excellent resources for conservatives here, so I’m taking the liberty of bringing a slight “issue” to y’all to see what you think. Recently (around the start of summer, about two months ago) my younger sister (aged 22) started talking about a young man she’d met in one of her Communications classes. She said he was very nice, handsome, smart, and it was obvious that she was starting to take an interest in him. About a month ago, they went out...

Dear Mr. Robinson: I've given the matter quite a bit of thought and have decided it is time to ZOT you. I was tempted when I noticed posters were allowed to insult anyone who disagreed with them; even more tempted when I saw new posters banned for asking questions, or expressing an opinion outside the mainstream - (though I must confess anyone adopting the screen name "Christ was killed by conservatives" was not going to last very long ! I'm sure he was referring to the Sanhedrin, but still...) When I saw your post today about getting "millions of people"...

It has been said by a president that america would only be defeated from within but I cant remember his name. The Bible I read says let GOD be true and every man a liar sometimes we as human, homosapien, or what ever you call yourself, because some people say they come from pluto when you ask them about GOD or when you invite them to come to church. Im gonna tell you a little about myself I go to church a lot im not religious im a spiritual man. The bible tells us GOD is a spirit and where...

I've been hearing that some groups of people are not welcome at Free Republic anymore, but I didn't believe what I was hearing because that seems like the complete opposite of "Free". I've heard that supporters of Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and more are no longer welcome to post at this site. This site is about uniting people together against the liberal onslaught that is ruining our country and we could use all the help we can get right? Please correct me so I can correct others who have told me that this is...

After viewing an article on examiner.com that asks the question about the current existance of the “liberal media bias”…. I thought I would share a few thoughts on this. Not long ago (10 or 15 years ago) the big buzz on talk radio was how unfair and completely bias the media was - to the left. In fact it’s only in recent years that this proclamation has died down. But I would say the notion of only 1 side being represented on a given subject - has changed dramatically… and is worth noting. The way news is being covered these...

It is a popular topic of discussion in political circles these days, and as the weeks pass more and more people are asking, “Is Barack Obama really a natural born citizen of the United States? Is he eligible to serve as President, or isn’t he?” If he is, then so be it. We’ll just have to grit our teeth until this long dark nightmare comes to an end… one way or another. But what if he is not eligible? What then? Well, in that case we have a problem… a very large problem, the solution to which could tear asunder...

As I was so rudely banned from the last post I made, let me respond here. I am not a troll, I am a conservative who has not posted on this site for a while for a reason. The conservative movement has lost its way... So here's the deal, and YOU ALL KNOW THAT RUSH HAS MADE AN IDIOT OF HIMSElF... do you guys honestly think there is one single American who has seen this episode between Limbaugh and Steele, and thought "I should vote Republican/I should be a conservative/I should oppose Obama's socialism"??? Absolutely not. Obama is a talented...

Just wanted to let you know I used to live in the Wesley Building in Connellsville, PA, on the third floor. Many times in the middle of the night I would wake and sit upright with the feeling that someone was bending over me or standing in the doorway. I am so glad to be able to tour the building again.

Just wondering what your opinion is about people who post vanities when their opinions could be posted to existing threads.

BIG BANG Recreated!!! That's fantastic!!! Someone recreated the big bang, or a model, rather. But hey, ya can't have a recreation without an original creation. Perhaps scientist will realize, if their INTELLIGENCE has brought them to this point of modeling a big bang, then there must exists an INTELLIGENCE, who many years ago gave ignition to the original, and could only endow it with life to boot!

About 20 years ago in the windy city of Casper, Wyoming, I was privileged to serve among a group of 'community organizers.' These men and women served at the local mission, helped in latchkey school programs and we got involved in politics teaching on free enterprise and the constitution, helped register voters, and ran for precinct chairs all for the betterment of our communities. And we did it for free. Our pastors encouraged us to get off our blessed assurances and make a difference in our community. We knew what they preached and it wasn't anti-American nor did they call...

<p>I was advised that this scenario would not be entertained on anywhere else. The member that I discussed it with couldn’t, or wouldn’t explain why. I was just trying to understand the great disparity between the goals of Free Republic at the About Free Republic webpage and all the policies of Free Republic that are diametrically opposed to the goals.</p>

<p>Much is being said about how "security moms" will vote in the next presidential election (even the upcoming 2006 midterm elections). We can't let this debate go by without hearing from FreeRepublic’s own "security moms" whose voices led to many national media interviews and newspaper articles, and thus framed the national debate, in the last election. Take this quick poll so that you, too, can join the national debate on this all important issue.</p>

The 2006 FreeRepublic LexiconAKA "The Freepism, Freepology, Lingo, Dictionary, Terminology, Lore Handbook" A revised and condensed version of The Lexicon of FreeRepublic, culled from Lexicon of FreeRepublic - 4th Edition and Freeper Lingo Thread (the history and meening of 'Freepisms' including pictures). Thanks to the many Freepers who contributed! In this latest update, I have cut the emoticons and standard acronyms (LOL etc - which are readily available on the web and previous Lexicons) for the sake of brevity. I have attempted to include all definitions and histories provided to me and give credit to those who provided me the...

House arrest for attack catFairfield neighbors terrorized by Lewis DANIEL TEPFER dtepfer@ctpost.com A ferocious feline terrorized a quiet Fairfield neighborhood, to the point that residents are seeking help from the law to stop the so-called "Terrorist of Sunset Circle." Lewis, a 5-year-old, black-and-white longhaired cat, attacked at least a half-dozen people on the cul-de-sac and even took on the local Avon lady, neighbors say. "He looks like Felix the Cat and has six toes on each foot each with a long claw," Sunset Circle resident Janet Kettman said. "They are formidable weapons." Kettman said Lewis attacked her twice. "I was...

President Bush has run for President three times. In 2000 he ran for President. He won. In 2002, he bet his Presidency on a GOP return to control of the Senate. He won. In 2004, he fought his critics and he won again. Liberals are making a huge mistake if they think President Bush will be the death of the GOP in 2006. In 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005 many conservatives pondered at the weak response from the Bush team. We were angered at the inability of the Bush team to get their act together and fight their critics head...

I am an independent and have become uneasy about what is happening in Iraq. The constitutional crises now going on is pitting the various factions against each other. What bothers me the most, however, is the fact that Iraq is on it's way to becoming a country ruled by islamofacists. I realize this was not our goal, but the reality is our policy there has created a situation that does exactly the opposite of what we wanted. How does this benefit the US?

Man I hate bush. He has totally ruined the economy so I have to work at walgreens and clean toilets for old people. I wish Kerry were president so things weren't so expensive and he could force the corporations to keep the good jobs in america. Man this bites. I don't want to work anymore. Let the rich people do it. Im tired. I hate working.

The reason this site is up and running , is because I believe in the power of the voice of the people of this great land we live in. There does come a time, when the people must act in order to preserve this great land. It is our duty as Americans to stand up to the enemies of America, be it foreign or domestic.

Yes. I am new to this website and was wondering why my account was banned? I posted an article I wrote about how Buddhism not Islam is a threat to America and is the fastest growing religion instead of Islam. I noted how Buddhism denies the existence of God and the divinity of Christ, I also made note of how Buddhists practice an evil satanic ceremony called doku. It is a ritual where Buddhist monks use a doku drum made of the hide of a white christian baby to conjure up demons for human sacrifice. Using three fingers they beat...

Why are we so afraid of the Israeli? That is question. Why do Bush and all spent so much money on the oppression of the Jewish land owners of Palestine land and rights? Does not he know that he makes Allah (peace be upon him) angry when he supports so much oppression? Let me say this again as I have said many times THIS IS wrONG ON sO MANY LEVELS THAT IT LEAVES ONE WIthOUT BREATH!!!!! I see many on this web site also give support to the ZIONIST entity of eternal anger and destruction. How many times must Allah...

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 saw this on CNBC at 6 p.m., couldn't believe what I was hearing, and am stunned this hasn't been posted yet. Triple-checked to make sure it hasn't (pls remove if it has). Zogby said he was calling the popular vote for Kerry because the undecideds were breaking for him. This would seem to counter his own polling data!! Could this be the first wrong call of 2004???

<p>I cannot simply stand by and watch you guys lying and lying on this website, about the veracity of John FORGED Kerry, about the patriotism of Jane Fonda, about the authenticity of the forged Bush Guard files...they are authentic forgeries. The White House itself handed those forged documents out after CBS gave them copies...now you guys are questioning them?? LMAO!!</p>

I think it is absolutely hilarious how you people get so upset by what others have to say about you. Are you really THAT insecure about being a republican that you have to bash down anyone else's views. REPUBLICAN IS NOT the only party out there. Deal with it. Bush is a moron. The war on terrorism is stupid. I think Ani Difranco summarized it best in her poem. So how about you quit your whinning and deal with the fact that the whole worlds population IS NOT REPUBLICAN. If I remember correctly, freedom of speech is one of our...

And what if, this coming November 2, at the same time as millions of Americans, all the world's peoples went to the ballot box to vote? There would be legitimacy in their participation in the election of the president of the world's greatest power. Simply because their lives, their future, depend on it in one way or another. It would be a symbolic gesture, a universal speech in observation of a fact and a direct and unambiguous way of saying that the fate of the world depends in large part on the American presidency. The Vietnamese and the Chileans at...

Election: It's the Cat People vs. the Dog Lovers Written by Burt Prelutsky Sunday, August 15, 2004 All the pundits who are forecasting the November election, busily analyzing blue states, red states, and those all-important purple swing states, are spinning their wheels. At the risk of sounding even more presumptuous than usual, I contend that they are wasting their time and yours. If you want to know who's going to emerge victorious, all you really need to do is find out how many people have cats living with them and how many have dogs. The cat people, I have decided,...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two cloned kittens have been born using a new cloning method that may be safer and more efficient than traditional methods, a U.S. company said on Thursday. Genetic Savings & Clone promises to clone anyone's pet -- for $50,000 or so -- and started with chief executive officer Lou Hawthorne's own pet cat. The two kittens, Tabouli and Baba Ganoush, were born to separate surrogate mothers in June, the company said. Its report was not submitted for the traditional scientific review process and has not been scrutinized by cloning experts. But the company is less interested in...

I am trying to organize a protest of the new Deomcratic government after Kerry wins the Presidency and the Democrats take back the House and Senate. Does any of my fellow freepers have suggestions for a time and place to conduct this protest? Thanks.

Thought half of it was BS -- vague implications with no follow through. But the stuff about corporate links to the war, the Afgan pipeline, connections with the Saudis really caught me off guard. I got home and searched for info to debunk everything and only found info that supported Moore's claims. Also, I live in NYC and the "keep them afraid and people will do anything" hit a bit too close to home. Anyone else see it? Anyone else have questions and doubts? I'm not some DUer planting seeds, I'm just wondering how others are incorporating some of F911's...

So Drudge has a headline about it hitting 98 degrees in Denver. Does this scare the socks off of you? This breaks a record of 97 set on this date in 1874. I guess all of those cars polluting the globe 130 years ago warmed up the globe to almost what it is today.

I have been a registered Democrat all my life. My family are from Arkansas via Tennessee, Kentucky and Virgina. My ancestors fought against Lincoln in the Civil War and the entire family has been Democrat ever since. But prior to that ... fought in the Revolutionary war. I believe in God and bear allegiance to America, liberty, freedom, and the Constitution of the United States of America - not some political party. And so for the last time I'm gonna tell you, this website is for the Constitution, not your bloodsucking party. In other words, kwitchyurbellyakin or bailthehellout!

<p>Mortar shells found in Iraq and believed to be suspicious in fact contained no chemical agents, the Danish army said after a week of tests. --- Both the U.S. and British governments cited the threat of illicit weapons of mass destruction as a main reason for launching the Iraq war. However, no such weapons have been found so far.</p>

With VERY few exceptions (thanks to the people that were human and to people that wrote me privately) you people are a bunch of fundamentalist zealots. You aren't conservatives...you're fascists. You make me embarrassed to be a Republican.

Someone at the Freeper Ralley in Fort Collins, CO asked what the hell dose Women in Black mean: especiall if there is a guy holding the banner: Which made no sence to me. Here is what there web site states: Our Mission Women In Black New York stand in silent vigil to protest war, rape as a tool of war, ethnic cleansing and human rights abuses all over the world. We are silent because mere words cannot express the tragedy that wars and hatred bring. We refuse to add to the cacophony of empty statements that are spoken with the...

I know I am not welcome hear among King George's sycophants, but some things need to be told. George always wanted war. Now George has the war he always wanted. Enjoy these last special moments because the world will be never be the same again. There will now be a clash of culture, a clash of civilization, with so many innocent lives lost. Who would have thought a know-nothing, incompetent, with no achievements except what his family name garnered would have gotten the chance to plunge the world such danger, into darkness? Now, he gets the chance to lead the...

The waging of an illegal war, the crimes against the Iraqi people, the killing of independent journalists. This man is a war criminal. He should be convicted as soon as possible.

Ban me, but have the courage to accept the truth. This War is wrong. Many innocent Iraqis have died. Many Americans have died. Iraq is in chaos. No food. No water. No power. I don't care if staged events involving a few criminals and looters make the people appear to be happy. Ask the ones who had their lives destroyed by American bombs. There are no WMDs. America will remain in Iraq long enough to: A) plunder its resouces B) ensure a Bush election victory in spite of massive deficits and a terrible economy. THIS WAR IS WRONG.

<p>Bill Clinton could talk good and bush likes to kill people like Paul Wellstone.</p> <p>Clinton likes black people and other people of color. All bush wants to do is bomb them.</p> <p>How can you support bush?</p>
