Free Republic

Islam Factor is a bold experiment in Muslim freedom of expression, freedom of speech and cooperation with people from all walks of life. Some who follow, agree with or are amicable to Islam and some who are opposed. Whether you agree with or follow Islam or not, whether you oppose Islam or not, no matter the nation, race, religion or creed we are from, we all have one thing in common. We all are human-beings with the same basic needs, hopes and emotions. Our forum hopes to promote an almost unheard of tolerance (that eludes many Muslim groups) that transcends...

My spam filter grabs a non-spam email now and then and I've been monitoring what it does so I can adjust the settings and make sure it stops doing that. One of the spam I got last night had the title 'Obama found dead in shock accident'. I'm sure if it said 'Bush' or "McCain' instead of Obama conservatives would be up in arms about it, and so I hope also see this in the same light. I'm in Canada so I'm sure if this breaks a law or not up here. Have any of you in the USA received...

I miss old America, everyone is now bickering back and forth about mindless nonsense, Obama this Hillary that It's all Bushes fault this Iraq war that, This country went to hell 9 years ago and you can pit the whole blame of America's problems on two words "Clinton Administration"

There is a chasm between the GOP Party and the American people that has been created by a break-down of communication as to where the Party stands on issues relative to the good of America and the American people.

Yesterday, liberal idiot (redundant) Congressman and Obama superdelegate William Delahunt (Communist, MA) asked the vice president's chief of staff David Addington about water boarding of terrorists in a Capitol Hill hearing. Addington declined to comment, stating that it is against President Bush's policies to discuss techniques used to attain vital intelligence, and added that another reason not to respond was that Al Qaeda is probably watching. Then the liberal scum piece of dirt Delahunt stated: "I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you." Here is a United States Congressman wishing harm from Al Qaeda against a fellow American...

Will post link when it's a legitimate, trusted site.

The indictment of the Bush administration for its conduct of the war on terrorism is both familiar and increasingly insistent. In the aftermath of 9/11, it is charged, the White House responded in ways that not only traduced the U.S. legal system but radically transformed it, stripping American citizens of time-honored rights, trampling on the fundamental premises of our Constitution, and bringing shame on our country for extreme and illegal practices in the treatment of suspected adversaries. Across seven years, a vast journalistic and legal literature has catalogued the depredations allegedly visited on the American constitutional order. Numerous lawsuits challenging...

To see Obama so close to Hillary Clinton makes me think horrible wet lying willies. Has the nation forgotten what the Clintons have did? Their lies? The taking of things from the Whitehouse? Obama is just using Hillary and a user is not whom I am looking for in a president. I want a man like Mc Cain who has served this great nation is did not sit in a church for 20 years agreeing in a brain washed way that blacks are better than whites. The president can be black, white or polka-dotted for all I care I just...

What about this? Any truth to it? Obama is NOT ELIGIBLE to be President. We already know that Obama is not QUALIFIED to be President, we now know that he is not ELIGIBLE to be President under American law. This is a great comment to a post over at Michelle Malkin’s blog: On June 10th, 2008 at 8:37 am, legendx3 said: Barack Obama is not legally a U.S. Natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between “December 24, 1952 to November 13, 1986? . Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen...

ZOT What is a ZOT really? I mean where does the term come from, and what, exactly, does it mean? Metaphysically, is it a position, a statement, so at variance with reality and the facts that it needs to be identified by ZOT!! Does it not, really, betray our own insecurities, our need for easy labels? Just a thought.

The minister who survived a lightning bolt [Rockaway, NJ] -- A fall into Purgatory Chasm couldn't take down the Rev. Matthew McNamara many years ago, and a bolt of lightning that ripped through him from head to toe this week was no match either. "I feel blessed," McNamara said yesterday from his hospital bed at Morristown Memorial Hospital, where he is in good condition and being treated for burns to his head and foot. The Pequannock resident was hit by lightning Monday night as he was readying Camp Marcella, a state-run summer camp for blind and visually impaired children, for...

June 21, 2008 Over the past several days, I have gone through several emotions, confusion, disgust, disappointment, and finally anger. At first my confusion and disgust were aimed at the arrogance of our State Legislature. Now, I find anger has overtaken my disappointment for my Governor, Bobby Jindal. My anger also extends to the national media, which includes the press and conservative radio talk show host that have long touted the “savior of the Republican party’s future.” Since Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana has made the national news and exposed the corrupt and inept leadership in Baton Rouge. The impression the rest...

He’s so old that his young-enough-to-be-his-daughter trophy wife, for whom he dumped the woman who loyally waited for him while he was a POW, is old.

Bush may have done a service to us all. The eight years gave us lay offs and unemployment not seen since the great depresion, wars and attrocities commited in the name of advancing american multi corporate agenda and white Christianity, we saw the rich get richer and the poor become even more poor, we heard slogans such as jobless recovery, strategery, modern economy, trickledown effect Ad nauseum. The values of Bush are the values of the capitalist system, another word for fascism. the eight years of Bush proves capitalism is a failed system. We see more debt, unemployment and 100...

"Today, the LA House of Representatives just spit in the face of the citizens of LA and approved an obscene pay increase (which goes up auto-magically annually without further action) for themselves starting in two week."

I have been a member since 1999. I have been suspended at least twice and kicked off "for good" once. I deserved to be suspended once. I believe that FR is a force for good in the world. Debate between people who consider themselves conservative, right or wrong, is a good thing. I believe that FR would prosper more, that more would donate, if they really believed that they had a stake in the site. The risk, that I now expose myself to, that you can be booted forever for speaking your honestly conservative mind in accordance with the rules,...

Honorable Sir, I just received a survey and request for a donation in the mail with your name on it from the Republican National Committee. THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE QUESTION IN THE SURVEY ABOUT OUR ENERGY SITUATION AND THE HISTORY OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY STONE WALLING AGAINST ENERGY PRODUCTION WITHIN UNITED STATES TERRITORIES FOR DECADES. The RPN and John McCain need to grab that issue like a dog grabs a bone and chew it right into the 2008 national elections. The survey I received from the RPN was one more piece of evidence that the Republican Party has completely misread...

"It’s the economy stupid". Unfortunately there are additional elements affecting the U.S. and global markets besides the recessionary economic trend. As the U.S. economy goes, so go the economies of it’s trading partners globally. The U.S. is the consumer of the world and if the U.S. consumer does not buy, it’s trading partners do not sell. It is as simple as that. I have been almost annoying in my admonition for the past year that the U.S. economy was headed for recession. It has arrived with a vengeance. I am no longer the "lone voice in the wilderness" as others...

A Harsh Season The banking “industry” slept like a dog through the climax of the political primary season. Meanwhile, the banks sucked in scores of billions in cheap loans from the Federal Reserve, using bundles of devalued-to-worthless “innovative” securities as collateral. This dodge has worked for about three months, allowing them to pay their employees and cover their electric bills, and is now collapsing because American society can’t maintain the flow of repayment on current debts and can’t take on any additional debt – meaning both the regular “churn” of revenue flowing to the banks is impaired at the same...

The only truly critical factor affecting the earth is overpopulation. To make things it is an ignored topic because of political correctness. We will rid the earth of all its resources, and thereby eliminate humanity.

Kern County Auditor-Controller-County Clerk Ann Barnett repeatedly tried to avoid licensing and performing marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples, interviews and e-mails obtained by The Californian show. At her request, County Counsel Bernard Barmann filed a brief with the California Supreme Court opposing implementation of the May 15 ruling allowing gay marriage. She tried to resign her elected position as county clerk — while keeping her positions as auditor-controller and elections boss. “She really wanted to get rid of it,” Barmann said. And finally, when the ruling came down Wednesday that she had to license same-sex marriages, she decided to stop...

Oil is going to reach $150 USD per barrel by winter. Gasoline will hit $6 USD per gallon in the USA. What are we going to do then?

Question: Would you rather: a) watch last night's McCain speech? Or b) be waterboarded?

BREAKING NEWS: Obama's Butcher a Holocaust Denier CHICAGO, IL- Barack Obama's recent string of bad luck is about to get worse. After some digging, The New York Daily News has discovered that Herbert Polaski, butcher at the grocery store near Obama's Chicago home, has posted several anti-Semitic comments on the Internet and may have also attended a Holocaust deniers conference in 2002.

YIKES! That thought just came to me!! Can you just imagine seeing Obama placing his hand on a Koran instead of a Bible!?!?! Our WORST nightmare...The Obama Trojan Horse scenario, manifest from Day One. I'll begin by shaking things up a little. Consider this my WARNING SHOT ACROSS THE BOW to all my fellow FReepers: Vote #1 - THE KORAN(hey, you never know!) The Beloved Levinite

Lets not keep requesting for same sex marriage. Lets demand that one woman and one man marriges no longer get the benefits that type of marriage receives from federal and state government. When they realize that they have no power of decision making over the health of their mate, that neither one can inherit the social security or the estate they have built and that they loose all the benefits just for the entitlement of one man and one woman marriage certificate. That will stop the religious and political push to change the US Constitution or any state constitution.

I loved the three originals. I wasn't expecting much from the Crystal Skull, but I have to say I was surprised! It wasn't just mediocre, it was complete crap. Not partial crap, mind you. It was total crap - actually painful to sit through. I should have walked out. The eight bucks was a sunk cost. I lost utility by sitting through it. I went on a beer run a while back. I had to wait fifteen minutes for the liquor store to open. Sitting there with a bunch of other high society types, I recontemplated my life. I felt...

CHRISTIAN BROADCASTERS: Generation of Vipers

Just got an email from Insideradvantage's latest NC poll, not on their website yet. April 30, 2008 — A survey of 571 registered likely voters in North Carolina’s May 6 Democratic primary shows Sen. Hillary Clinton having moved from a double digit deficit in an InsiderAdvantage poll taken in mid-April to a two point lead over Sen. Barack Obama in this telephone survey, conducted April 29. The survey was weighted for age, race, gender, and political affiliation. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8% The results were: April 30(April 13) Hillary Clinton: 44% (36%) Barack Obama:...

Is Barack Obama the AntiChrist? He was born in Honolulu a city of seven hills with seven streams leading to the bay. He has taken a metaphorical wound to the head (Pastor Wright) and has recovered with no marks. He has deceived intelligent people with his aura of empty promises. You be the judge.

If someone told me in the 1990's that I, an outspoken and vehement opponent of the Clintons would now be endorsing Hillary Clinton for President of the United States, I would have laughed in their face at the absolute absurdity of the notion. But here I am now, a staunch conservative, joining conservatives Ann Coulter and Bill Cunningham among others in endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton for President. How could this be? As absurd as the notion that I would someday endorse Hillary Clinton for President over the Republican nominee is the equally absurd notion that barely a decade after one...

I’ve been kicked off the “Free Republic” web site. No more posting allowed. The problem? The results of my brain scan. It revealed I had one — a definite no-no if you’re posting among the “FReepers.” But, seriously…… Have any of you spent any time looking at the “Free Republic” web site? Yikes! If most of the folks posting on this site are what a “Free Republic” produces, then give me Communist Slavery every time. Just kidding— about the “Communist Slavery” crack. But, I’m not kidding about the “Free Republic” site. So, why, seriously, was I dumped? Well, I posted...

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — The scandal-plagued Orange County Sheriff's Department is investigating whether jail staff used a Taser stun gun on a cat that was found dead on facility grounds. The investigation comes after a scathing criminal grand jury report last week that found deputies at Theo Lacy Jail sent personal text messages and watched TV while inmates beat a fellow inmate to death. Sheriff's spokesman John McDonald says a tipster told the department Monday that jail personnel used a Taser on the cat. The animal was later found dead on the jail grounds, between two fences. It had...

Why do we, as a country, continue to give foreign aid when we are so in debt?

I have had it with the political rhetoric in this country -- of the promises from candidates who do not have the constitutional authority to deliver on what they are promising. Obama says he's going to meet with our enemies -- he actually believes, in his arrogance, that all he has to do is say "I'm coming over there," and Captain Marmalade in Iran will be glad to sit down with him, change the error of his ways and become just like people in the United States. Who does he think he's kidding?!! It's going to be just like Mr....

BAGHDAD - Iraq's government moved Sunday to restore discipline within the ranks of the security forces, sacking more than 1,300 soldiers and policemen who deserted during recent fighting against Shiite militias in Basra. At the same time, Iraq's Cabinet ratcheted up the pressure on anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr by approving draft legislation barring political parties with militias from participating in upcoming provincial elections.

<p>“Mr. President, someone wanting to visit the Capitol today, there is no place for them to gather. They gather -it used to be out on the East Front - now they gather on the West Front. And the people who work here joke about you can always tell when it's summertime because you can smell the visitors. And what we mean by that Mr. President – they stand out there in the high humidity, heat, sweating, and it’s really – there’s no place for them to go.” Sen. Harry Reid's Floor remarks today.</p>

1) Did Rush give Hillary new life because he wanted to show that he still had influence, and will that fact allow the Dem's to avoid a crushing democratic defeat? 2) Did Hannity put the scoop and ratings ahead of the country's welfare by not holding the Rev. Wright stuff till the Dem race was settled?

Gun owners insist that they need to carry a concealed weapon that is handguns for self-protection from criminals. Now that is saying that it is not safe for anyone to walk/drive to work at anytime of the day or night without fear of being attacked, robbed, raped, murdered for money etc. I am told that you cannot make any enemies in the United States for fear of being shot. In addition, that the only way of preventing this is to carry with you, a handgun of one form or another. I am also told that a well arm society is...

ARE YOU A COMMUNIST MR. BUSH? YES! I AM!!! This would be the answer if the question had been submitted before the collapse of Soviet Union! That does come out this conclusion for the current Prime Minister of U.S.A.? Simply Mr. Bush today, follows the vision of Stalin and Titos for taking territories from Greece following dance floor their dark drawing! The pseudonym state, nation and the language of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was Stalin’s dream. Stalin and Tito they manufacture then in August 1944 this state "in the frames of Yugoslavian Federation. They rename from VARDARSKA in" Macedonia...
