Free Republic

Pope Francis is an Obama plant. One decent Pope forced to retire, then Francis arrives in all of his marxist glory with a forked tongue. Mission: Blur the difference between Christianity and Islam.

I made s similar post to yours, without having read yours first. But, you are 100% correct in your thinking.

Think about this...

Francis (I wont call him the pope) has been doing a lot of things that favor Muslims. He won’t condemn them for anything, even as he can clearly see how evil they are.

Think more...

and you’ll notice that he came into power after the previous pope suddenly resigned (or was forced to resign)...

and all of that occurred after a famous Muslim came into power in the U.S., with Obama becoming the first Muslim to ‘reach’ the presidency.

Obama (this is the conspiracy I’m talking about) helped the Vatican ‘elect’ a Muslim loving ‘leader’ (I still won’t call his the pope) to the top position in Christianity. A Muslim loving person at the top position in Christianity, with a 100% Muslim at the top of the most significant country in the world.

It’s not coincidences, people.

Home prices have risen dramatically in the most developed and desirable areas in Florida like southeast Florida, but there are still smaller communities in more rural areas where homes prices have risen less and homes remain affordable for many.

Yes, it is still possible to buy a bit more affordable homes in rural areas and smaller communities, but then, people would be buying in areas that are more distant from the desirable infrastructure that people of older ages need, such as hospitals and police and firefighters.

But still, a few years ago, when the prices of homes in the Tampa/St. Pete area started going up, people opted to go a bit further out, like to Sarasota and Bradenton and Ft Myers and Lakeland, the prices there went up too, and now, the prices in places like Sarasota are even higher than in the Tampa area. My niece and husband (from upstate NY) decided to find a place in Sarasota and are having second thoughts about that area too. You have to move out to very distant open country to find the more affordable prices.

Florida may have stopped growing as fast as it was a decade or two ago, with prices going up to unaffordable levels.

The American Judicial System?

Surely he jests.

It’s the judicial system copied by democrats from tyrannical governments, which they hope to codify through election thefts which will insure that democracy dies.

Calling it “American” is the worst joke that anybody can make.

Jeffries and all democrats like him should be barred from ever holding office again. In fact, the democrats having become the party of communism, should be barred from all elections and all politics.

Clark took an away-from-the-ball cheap shot

Something like that should earn the 'assailant' a lifetime suspension from the league. Should send a very big message to the rest of the players in the league.

Or, perhaps Caitlin should start identifying as black. People eat that kind of stuff up.

The Iron Curtain protected Eastern Europe from Muslim immigrants.

You think that Russia had that in mind when they went on the quest to absorb its neighbors, by force?

Your post is nothing more than rationalization, and a complete nonsensical justification for Russia's aggressive methods. Empire building is not about protecting its neighbors from imagined threats.

I will keep it short.

See???

I knew I could get it out of you without me having to explain where I was coming from.

In essence, you posted for me the opposite of what I posted...

And, you are 100% correct. Like I said, when you post why you disagree with me, you would get the answer from yourself as to where I was coming from.

Russia is still a dictatorship and an aggressive country. The USSR might have been much larger, but, Russia still rules with the same hostile methods. The word communism is not much used to describe Russia, but, like it’s said, ‘a rose by any other name is still a rose’, or crap by any other name is still shit.

Russia is copying the U.S. democrats, where any opposition to Putin and the Kremlin, will be dealt with by very unlawful methods, including incarceration without due process or even by death.

Countries around Russia have good reasons to fear Russia, and anybody that tries to find benevolent reasons for how Russia behaves, is completely blind. There are no justifications for having Russia invade its neighbors or for threatening its neighbor.

I’ll take “Things I never expected to read on Free Republic for $400, Alex.”

Then, you haven't been reading the many posts that occur on FR regarding the Russia v Ukraine war.

The kind of comments I posted are all over FR, especially in discussions regarding Ukraine v Russia, where people want Russia to win and Ukraine/Zelensky to lose and the U.S. to mind its own business.

So, do you now see where I'm coming from?

This is the sort of thing a traitor would say. You don't deserve to live in a free country.

Yet, the kind of comments I posted are all over FR, especially in discussions regarding Ukraine v Russia, where people want Russia to win and Ukraine/Zelensky to lose and the U.S. to mind its own business.

So, do you now see where I'm coming from?

“They were better off under the USSR”

Fascinating. Please explain.

If you disagree, explain why you disagree. Your answer will (or might) explain where I'm coming from.

Unfortunately, Florida is also becoming unaffordable, even with no state income taxes.

People coming to Florida and investing the money they got from sale of their previous blue-are houses, is making home prices in Florida comparable to prices in the blue areas where those people came from.

I’ve seen neighbors moving away, to places like Missouri and Tennessee and N. Caroline, saying that they could buy bigger and better homes in those areas for the prices they’ve been selling their homes in Florida. I know two neighbors, within a block from my home, who are selling their homes for twice the price those homes were valued at two years ago.

Florida may remain a red state, but the cost of living is turning us blue in that regard.

Americans inherently sense corruption, unfairness and can feel when something is profoundly wrong.

The Trump vs NY case represents the new way that democrats aim to control the courts. Democrats have indicated that they want to control the Supreme Court via adding the number of judges necessary for them to get control and rulings that go exclusively in democrats' favor. No supreme court is good enough if democrats control the outcomes, and that's the way they want all other courts to work. The Trump case is their new way of getting the desired outcomes that democrats want. If tne NY case was not going to go their way, democrats had plenty of other occasions to get that same kind of outcome. Lawfare is their new way of controlling the outcomes, and the Suprme Court will be next for democrats. To change and completely invalidate the Supreme Court, democrats will make sure that the presidency remains under democrat control, and that the senate remains under democrat control. Once democrats have control of the senate and the presidency, the constitution and the bill-of-rights will become null-and-void. The U.S. will cease to exist, and the only way to get any of it back, is through civil war. Something very sinister happened in the Trump v NY case. The outcome was predetermined. The outcome was predetermined when the jurors were allowed to go home after every court day. IOW, the jurors didn't matter because the outcome was already in the bag. And even if the jurors mattered, they would be very easy to tamper with. I believe that the jurors were tampered with, and that they were bought off. NO WAY that all the jurors would be in agreement with a completely made up case and all found Trump guilty in a crime that was completely made up. Believe it or not, Trump was going to be guilty even before Bragg had formulated the case with phony charges. The appeals courts in NY should also not be trusted, and the only way that Trump may get the case invalidated, is through the Supreme Court.

Well, if all men wanted to live longer through castration, eventually, there would be no men and no humans.

If men got castrated, would they still have the urges to have sex, and if they do, men and women would have a very poor quality of life, meaning that, life would not be worth it anymore.

If God wanted men to live longer through castration, men would not have been created, and humanity would have beasts with self-procreation properties or abilities. Non-sexual/asexual beasts would equal a totally different species.

The first casualty in any war is the Truth .

Actually, war is the result of the truth, and war is also a result of the lies.

Which came first? War can kill the truth, and it can also kill the lies. But too often, war is a consequence of the truth or the lies.

Non sequitur.

Why? Any weapons around a convicted criminal can be dangerous. One never knows if that criminal can get a hold of one of those weapons for wrongdoing. Democrats will try to remove his secret service protection because of those weapons.

But, why did you feel the need to respond to my post?

Spic.

What's a spic?

Trump has armed guards protecting him. So, should the secret service agents have to surrender their weapons too?

S.A., and all African nations, are doomed to eternal failure.

Every time they fix any of the governments, they end up with something worse. It’s like having wolves replaced by grizzly bears to look over the sheep.

So, is Kim Dung in Un of those balloons?
