Free Republic

In Australia, the most outspoken critic of the false imprisonment of Cardinal George Pell (https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2021/10/05/australia-is-not-a-free-country/) was the conservative columnist and television host Andrew Bolt. Bolt is an atheist. I believe that, if all the Christians, who knew that what was done to Pell was wrong, had spoken up as Bolt did, then the cowardly bullies of the Socialist Left government, whose politicized police force attacked Pell, would have backed down. But with a few exceptions (Fathers Kevin Donnelly and Frank Brennan and Bishop Anthony Fisher) the churches and clergy were spectacularly silent. Such attacks will continue in places like Australia...

FRANKLIN LAKES — The way Tom Murro tells it, a chance encounter with President Obama on a Martha's Vineyard golf course last summer had a transformative effect on him. Among Tom Murro's high-profile run-ins: President Obama, Natalie Portman, Dustin Hoffman and Kathie Lee Gifford. Suddenly, the Franklin Lakes father of two became the "Celebrity Magnet," known for an uncanny ability to attract, rub elbows and be photographed with some of the world's most famous people. Last April, Murro folded the mortgage company he had run for two decades and took to chronicling his exploits and conquests online at celebritymagnet.com. "Some...

Did anyone see the following Red Cross Television ad ? I saw what I think has to be the most disgusting tv ad in Red Cross history. The audio is from memory and went something like this. I don't look like you. I don't watch the same television programs. I don't laugh at the same jokes. I don't eat the same food. But I will save your life. The video showed mostly white middle class people going about their lives, washing their car, walking their dog, etc. And at the end, the video displayed the Red Cross emblem along with...

Well, that time has come for me. I’m leaving FR. However, I do not consider this an “opus”, as I am NOT going to use it to rehash old slights or arguments, or to give my personal opinion of what “should be done around here”. As has been so often pointed out, this is Jim Robinson’s site, and he runs it as he sees fit. Rather, all I’m going to do here is give a general reason for my departure, and say a hearty-but-sad “GOODBYE!” to all the folks here who have enriched my life in the past four years....

Remember everyone, that President Bush received a large percentage of the Hispanic vote. Some say over 60% in Florida. Similar results in New Mexico. Hispanics are a conservative voting bloc. Please don’t antagonize, or disrespect, this huge voting bloc. Consider and future of your conservative party. Pete Wilson lost California for generations to come, please don’t commit the same mistake. Love your neighbor. Love you all, congrats.

Quite a few FReepers have attacked John Kerry for visiting Reagan's coffin and paying his respects to the man. I think this is wrong. If he hadn't paid his respects, the same people would be throwing a fit. John Kerry did not wait in line: Neither did other dignitaries (aka "important people who are not celebrities"). Neither did Arnold Schwarzenegger. Do you think George W. Bush should wait in line? Please. That's pathetic. John Kerry is, by virtue of being the presidential candidate for a major political party, more important than the rest of us. Just like George W. Bush...
