Free Republic

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...

I recently received the following freepmail (names removed to protect the curious): Hi there - Just occurred to me that I don't know what the 'requirements' are for a cat to be a Viking Kitty. Please advise. Question is only somewhat in jest because 'we' are owned by three handsome, high-powered, no nonsense conservative, flag-loving Siamese male cats who, I believe, ought to be able to qualify. You'll have to tell me. Many thanks and Happy New Year!

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.

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...

All ZOT and no play makes...........

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.

First of all I "middle of the road" I dont blame the president for katrina, I believe in gun ownership, I think you should drive what ever you want, and I hold people responsible for actions they take. I also believe in a womans right to choose, we should do all we can to protect the enviroment and helping the poor. I was banned for nothing more than people who do not want to face facts, crying to moderators. I have read this forum many times, some things I agree with and some I dont. But I just saw how...

Prominent conservatives tell HUMAN EVENTS they are troubled by the revelation that Supreme Court nominee John Roberts worked on behalf of Playboy Entertainment Group--the second time in one week information has come to light that Roberts helped a liberal cause. Last Thursday conservatives were hit with the news that Roberts, while a partner at Hogan & Hartson, did pro bono work for gay-rights advocates in the case Romer v. Evans, which challenged a Colorado voter-approved initiative on sexual orientation. Yesterday, HUMAN EVENTS documented Roberts’ similar involvement in a case involving Playboy and its challenge of the Telecommunications Act of 1996,...

As I'm foolish, I can't for the life of me figure out how to post this elsewhere. I do think that no content on F.R.(other than that which is extremely obscene) should be censored. The most feckless among the numerous Conservatives here should be able to easily refute the most intellectualy argued Liberal pap. And by allowing Liberal views it only trains us to strengthen our position.I have almost reached my F.R. 5th anniversary and to date the fact that all information is not allowed troubles me.Expose the stupidity at it's base is my philosophy. God Bless Texas(LOL) and I'm...

Thursday, August 4, 2005 'Pot' bust yields catnip By CHUIN-WEI YAP Staff Writer Copyright © 2005 Blethen Maine Newspapers Inc. E-mail this story to a friend WATERVILLE -- A cat somewhere might be in trouble with the law. Police officers thought they had found a marijuana haul grown indoors -- but when they searched a Silver Street apartment Tuesday morning, all they caught was catnip. Catnip is an herb of the mint family. Scientists say it provokes a "high" for cats -- but not humans. Police went to Stefanie Glidden's apartment above Silver Street Tavern at 9:15 a.m., convinced that...

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...

dude... like Jackie Gleason was a brother.

Note: Forgive this vanity, but this must be done. Kudos to the mod on duty for zapping the Tub-girl Troll early. I stayed put to see if he would post again. And true to form, he/she/it did at the same time as it normally does, which is between 0730-0800 hours CDT on weekdays. This probably means that it is posting them from the job, likely from the eastern time zone. Now, who was it? All information should be put out in the open post haste. cyborg, mhking, Darksheare, and I are tired of being the specific targets on this sub-human...

you guys suck!! haha. just kidding. This is my first post on FR. (I am trying to figure out where to post) I am a member of DU though. Oh my God!! those people are crazy!! they defend Castro, are only nominally Democrats because they are anti-Bush and Republicans and have no where else to run. and our generally fanatical lunatics. worst of all, they admire Dennis Kucinich!!!!! hahaha. I was called out there for criticizing Kucinich. Since I am from Ohio, I recall Kucinich was a terrible mayor of Cleveland. but they don't care, since Kucinich is anti-Bush and...

dude... corporations have like, money.

I have ran accross some information, that is alarming, yet it is not new to most of us. The questition is who in control? Is it a matter that we think we are in control of our everyday discions that affect us. Yet we are Governened by those are in conrol of goverment. The money spend, the things we buy, or is it just a matter of that we only think everything os ok? What I am saying that we only think we are in control, then why are forieing troops are on and around soil? They may not be...

Are you a hater? Do you consider yourself to be superior based on your race, religion, sexual orientation? Are you a self-righteous blowhard? If you are reading this, then you most likely are one. What makes you so superior? Because of your religion? What about all the Islams who are acting just as self-righteous and oppressive and "RIGHT" as you?? Moslems and Homosexuals aren't the scourge of the world. Intolerance, judgmentalism, and vice-pointing (i.e. You're going to hell because you do this or that, or don't believe exactly what I believe). You've got it all wrong as far as I'm...

My son was taken from me when he was only 2 months old because I supposedly "worshiped the devil" in front of him. I am an atheiest. I don't even belive in the devil. It ruined my life and at the same time opened up a whole new world of horror stories from other parents. How our government is walking all over the rules they put in place to protect us and how our civil rights are violated each and everyday. EVERYONE especailly those with families should be aware of this!!! Please visit my sites and sign my petition to...

I have always been a liberal and usually voted Democrat, although sometimes I was talked into voting Green. But the liberals keep losing and it's not fun, so I have decided to switch to conservative. The problem is I don't know how to do this. Is there a kit or something to act as a guide in the conversion process? Also, does this mean I will always need to vote Republican or are there other options. I'll appreciate all the advice I can get.

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...
