Many have offered up reasons for the military buildup all over the country, including over 26,000 in DC alone. I've pondered this for days and here's all I've been able to come up with: 1. You don't need 26,000 national guard troops to guard DC. 2. The people from Jan. 6, whichever sides they were on, are not hanging around for another run at the Capitol. 3. I do not believe the theory that these troops are there to round up all of the leftist criminals and send them to Guantanamo. 4. The only logical explanation is that this a...

h/t to FReeper Morgana for this idea. Does anyone here remember "A Day Without Homosexuals"? Of course not, because nobody missed them. The Obamalefties think that they can just take us for granted. Think that we will just continue producing stuff and allowing them to take it and distribute it anyway they like. Let us choose a week and simply stop producing for that week. We need to decide on a week over summer. If you can't afford to take that week off, then simply do what the French do - a "greve de zele" (work slow-down, which is pretty...

I am getting a little annoyed with all these Freepers who keep posting about: 1) The Supposed RNC 150 + millions and Rove's 527 money. Where is it? 2) All the October scandals that will hit Obama. Where are they? Seriously, and don't write "til the white of their eyes" please, it's two weeks til the election and many, many people are voting early in person or via absentee ballot. I personally don't think: 1) There is any RNC money 2) Any grand McCain plan 3) Any Obama scandals out there waiting to drop This doesn't mean McCain is going...

Rick Davis now is reconsidering whether McCain will go after Rev. Wright, folks, don't give up this winning issue yet! With Powell endorsing Obama, McCain has nothing to lose, but everything to gain! Email/fax to GOP staffs & people, they need to hear from us demanding that they decide NOW, before it's tooo little, too late! I emailed weekas ago the following script for mccain to use in talking points/ad. Can somebody upload this onto U-tube? I would not mind paying for it. Rev. Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, was Sen. Obama’s pastor and...

How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take In a Fight? This short survey will tell you approximately how many five year old children you could fight at once. Results are based on physical prowess, training, swarm-combatting experience, and the flexibility of your moral compass. Here are the ground rules: You are in an enclosed area roughly the size of a basketball court There are no weapons or foreign objects Everyone is wearing a cup (so no kicks to the groin) The children are merciless and will show no fear If a child is knocked unconscious, he is "out." The...

After years of claiming to be an excellent swimmer and stories of swimming at his house on Lake Winnipesaukee, a stunning new photo, sent anonymously to FreeRepublic, clearly indicates that this is yet another lie from the Romney machine! Photo: ROMNEY CAN'T SWIM!!!

I've got a question: I bought a can of King Oscar sardines for the first time (I heard sardines were rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients) and noticed it had tiny bones in them. Do I eat those or scrape them out?

I've been a member of FR for a few years now, and it's an AMAZING site overall. I actually get a sizeable chunk of my news- not so much the headlines, but the analysis behind the news, on FR. I am pleased to have JR allow us to post on his site. Having said that, I feel compelled to vent on some of the things that have been annoying me to no end. *** MSM is Dying or Becoming Extinct ***. This is the one thing that drives me up the wall the most. It's bad enough that many of...

Press converence at White House on CNN. LOL. All the news chick could say was, "Wow!"

I look at the polls and see that they are so close. Conventional wisdom has said that somewhere in the final weeks the polls would break in one direction for the candidate that will win. No such break has been seen so far. But I find it confounding that the polls are even close at all. I'm beginning to believe that the polls would still be close even if the Dem's nominated a Ham Sandwich. Looking back I couldn't believe Gore got the support he got. If you've seen Gore lately, he looks and acts like a nut case. Maybe...

Can anybody tell me what shot I recieved in the Gulf War where we were asked to sign a document saying we would not talk about it?

The purpose of FreeRepublic.com's multiple message boards is to limit the topics for each board to particular topics. Posting the same message on all the boards defeats the purpose of multiple-boards for special topics. It is very annoying to see the same message on every bulletin board. PLEASE! DO THE READERS A FAVOR. STOP CROSS-POSTING YOUR MESSAGES!
