  • Obama is my President, only if

    Obviously, he prevails in the election but that alone is not enough. I will be a loyal Obama citizen, only if (see 1.) Were I to be drafted I will serve and die in the military at his command, only if 1. As there are so many substantial questions regarding his citizenship that an actual long form of his birth certificate must be made public or some verifiable and reasonable explanation for its absence.

    October 30,2008 | Her Royal Seamstress, Edna Mode, Dahling!
    Earlier this morning, I went over to George Mason University, in Fairfax, VA just to see how big Obama is with the students. Because we've heard that the youth are going crazy for Obama. So I figured that college students who are for very enthusiastic will plaster their cars with his bumper stickers. Since I parked in the garage, the closest parking lot was Lot J. Here are the stats: Total cars in parking lot: 328 cars with Obama bumper stickers: 10 (3% of cars) cars with McCain bumper stickers: 4 (1% of cars) If college students are really that...

    Once upon a time there was a young charismatic and eloquent young leader who decided his nation was in need of change and he was the one to implement it. The people were receptive and ready for a change. He spoke passionately when denouncing the existing system, and the media loved him. Nobody questioned what he believed in, or whom his friends were. He said he would help the poor and bring free medical care and education to all. He would bring justice and equality. He said, "I am for hope and change and I will bring you both. "...

    I just want to know, (really) after watching this, I know we all have our opnions. But doesn't it matter that this man has NO respect for our country? I don't really care for Hillary Clinton, but at least I know she LOVES our country and has respect for the men and woman who fought for this country. He DOESN'T. I have never been so scared in my life. Most people will probably say because BUSH was such a horrible president put our country in debt because of the war and John Mccain will do the same. I am telling...

  • Why the English Language is the Best International Language

    If you want to flame me, you can do so rightfully, as I am posting this from the viewpoint of a casual observer rather than an a knowledgeable linguist. But here I go: The easiest items to adjust for are nouns. You just plug in a noun in one language for another. Perhaps there are are languages with "easier" nouns than English but I don't know why or how. However, this is not the problem. The Romance languages have two difficulties. How to use the personal or impersonal "you" term. (In English it's left generic) It varies widely between cultures...

    as mentioned earlier, these 18 yr old druggies have a stronghold in the web 2.0 space. apparently they saw our digg thread and see their posts: "Freeper has temerity to suggest new series of tubes to fellow freepers. Hilarity ensues." " Cave safe, fire is scary! Do not WANT!!" "Right, armchair interneting will not help mcCain much." "They are just as ignorant and backward as the Muslims they hate so much...n/t" "did these people find FR in the first place? Do they think FR IS the internet?"

    A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter. In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to...
  • Bad News For Obama: Polls Show That 6 Million+ Pro-Hillary Supporters Are Going To Vote For McCain

    A poll was conducted back In June 2008, and it found that the number of Hillary supporters that were going to vote for Obama was 58%, with 28% going to vote for McCain. The rest were undecided. In September, another poll was conducted, and it found that things were unchanged for Obama. This poll found that the percentages were still 58% going to vote for Obama and 28% going to vote for for McCain, with the remainder still undecided. If the remainder ends up splitting evenly, that will give McCain 35% of Hillary supporters that will vote for him and...

    Vanity of vanities, all is vanity | 28 Oct | self
    I just joined Barack Obama's campaign for president. Cost me five dollars, the minimum donation, to check on the stories I'd heard about how his credit card processing system is set to verify only the card number and expiration date, so I chipped in with a fake name and address. After they'd processed my donation, they kicked me over to a pre-loaded "Hey, friendo, I just joined Obama's Great Leap Forward" e-mail form, so I modified it some and spread the word. Like Betty Crocker, 'Bammy's money-funnel was smooth and easy. I'd read about Osama Bin Laden, "Adolphe" Hitler, and...

    We no longer hear about the greedy Oil speculators as the price is Spiraling into the Deck. What the commiecRats are not saying is that this proves that Supply and Demand works. The market is betting that there will be less oil needed as the future recession sets in around the World. This is also more proof that the World is fearing a Nodrillbama administration. The World knows that there will be reduced usage as industries collapse worldwide and they are right. The markets are hedging against a Black Whiteguilt Oblack administration w/a socialist congress. The trigger of this Market...

    If anyone can, please help me. I have some friends in Pittsburgh who are both liberal and conservative. We had been chatting about the woman there who said she was attacked and a "B" etched into her face. One particularly liberal friend is now saying that the McCain people PRESSURED the news media there to run the story about the woman. She has said this after I sent her the original article, and then sent the report that it was a hoax. I even commented how these "hoaxes" hurt us all, of both parties. But this woman INSISTS that now,...
  • McCain brings up LA Times video controversy

    Today McCain was being interviewed on 610wtvn radio in Columbus, Ohio (a very popular show and time slot). He actually brought up the story of the LA Times refusing to release the video tape showing Obama toasting P.L.O. members. He then went on to tie it into Ayers. It's refreshing to see McCain finally taking off the gloves!!

    Tensions and anxiety are high right now and everybody wants to purge. But as the mods are constantly pointing out there are way too many vanities clogging the system. Here is an easy rule of thumb to use when thinking of posting a vanity. A good vanity is one that informs, educates, amuses or otherwise delights the reader. By its nature it is positive as it contributes to the participants overall FR experience. A bad vanity is a vent or whose purpose is to get something off the chest of the poster and is by its nature, selfish, because only...
