Free Republic

I hope they got “the proper permits” and paid all the necessary application fees and taxes, and that they submitted a complete and thorough list of their ingredients and the sugar levels, and oh... promised to keep their cups under 4 oz.

Sorry, I could not help myself! Truth is I love this story and think it's fantastic they exceeded their goals. And I enjoyed watching the video. My prayers go out to the family and all our families with sick kids. But when I went to write that, the first paragraph spilled out, so I left it!

Was Obama outraged? I thought it was the TelePrompter who was upset. He had to read his outrage, what a joke!!!

All, I don't know if this is appropriate but if you use Twitter, go out there and keep #Benghazi alive. The IRS story was meant to detract people, those who are not on FR, from this story. MSM didn't cover for ages, as we all know... now IRS story comes up with planted question/answer/scandal... that will turn out to be a big mistake but there are so many social media people out there... if we can, we need to make #Benghazi trend, it creates curiosity, and thereby the education that is not provided through the MSM.

I love this story and wish it for Trigg, one and all!

Is it going to happen? I keep hearing about it but I never see the expected sale date, etc. I sure hope it does, and soon!!

I try never to miss a word on this subject, would love to be on ping list, and thank you for all you do to fight the good fight!

Exactly, why isn’t he being buried at sea as previously done for bin Laden? Surely all Muslim terrorists should be treated the same, yes? I would not want his body anywhere near my city, can’t imagine the slap in the face Boston must feel. Good gosh, he wasn’t even a citizen, and his final cruelty to our citizens will be to be buried in Boston! Send his body home!

I don't know how to post photo but can anyone find the black and red dress from this year's inauguration, as she was walking down the stairs to be seated,she's either wearing a sex toy of some type under her dress or she's a man... it is by far the absolute worst picture of ANY first lady in the WORLD!

I view this as important as the critical vote in MA a few years back with Scott Brown. I am making a donation to Sanford today, and wish that other FRs would do it as well, even if he's not the candidate you want, he's the one on the ballot — and that's all that matters right now!

They had to delay so Obama could have his gun cry without any attention on anyone else. Just say’in...

It’s all a setup, it was never expected to pass although everyone wanted us to think it was close. The whole goal, scream and yell going into the midterm elections, vote,vote,vote... and for sure we will! It was a big day yesterday, how and who drives the message to low information voters from here on out matters greatly!

I’m with you! This happened today as well: Max Baucus, D-Mont, Senate Finance Committee Chairman who helped write Obamacare stunned administration officials, saying openly he thinks it’s headed for a “train wreck” during a routine budget hearing that suddenly turned tense.

It may not be intended to pass... possibly a brilliant strategy to break the vote, nothing passes but as you said, gives everyone the ability to say they support a bill, are trying to pass... it looks like a smart move in the game of political chess.

Just goes to show the guy can’t manage a penny, God forgive us for how he spends a dollar...I mean a TRILLION every year, what was I thinking.... sorry!

I was driving home tonight, not sure what station I was listening to on my XM, but the Mayor of Boston was on saying they had more personnel, more fire, more police, more dogs, more everything than any other year.

And the sequester caused what????

I agree, take the slush fund money and force Obama to put money where his mouth is!

Obama says, if I had a son, he'd be just like Gosnell, doing the exact abortions that I supported and voted for when I was in the IL State Senate.

Did anyone just hear CT Senator Murphy say something like: this is a horrendous case, and anytime there are outlyers like this, the government should come in and crack down, but that has nothing to do with keeping abortion safe and legal for those who want to do it within the confines of the law. I found myself slapping my head and asking, why is that differnt than Newtown being a horrendous case, a mentally ill person, and how about a statement that that has othing to do with keeping gun owners safe and legal for those who want to exercise their second ammendment right. I could not believe my ears...

Sponsored by Starbucks... Stopped watching, which I used to do just to stay aware of leftist views, because I can’t boycott the coffee because I don’t drink it.

I met him at an ice cream stand this summer... we were there with my grandkids and of course I recognized him immediately. I struck up a conversation and he joined us for lunch. Afterward he autographed a copy of his children’s book “Dubbs goes to Washington” and gave it to us. The kids loved it, and Dubbs (who also joined us at the picnic bench), and I will always appreicate his kindness.

I was just about to put an offer on a house in the Danbury area, but not going to do it. CT has also contracted with a private company to move severely ill prisoners — who are being paroled or released from prison for medical or compassionate reasons — into a former nursing home that sits right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. But the people should not worry about protecting themselves or their children... I don’t know why anyone would want to live in CT anymore!

He has been in love with Hillary for years!

I have the great fortune to announce I’ve never bought anything from Starbucks.

I wish I could say same...I've been twice, with friends as a passenger in the car. I bought, and thought, what a waste of money. I, at least, have the great fortune to announce I've never been the driver who parked in the lot.

What do you mean you can’t see your lunch? It’s right there...

Levi, isn’t it past your bed time yet?

“Heck, I listen to NPR strictly for laughs. And it is comically far left.”

I watch Morning Joe for the exact same reason!

We've gone Galt! That's what happens when our government threatens us with taking more and more and more and more. We don't want to lose our house or fall behind on debt so we don't spend a dime. JCP, Kohl's, any of them. If it is not “absolutely necessary” we won't be buying!

I saw it, and I was thinking to myself, yeah.. we were moved to, but ours was vomit! They also showed zerO looking out, taking it all in. And just as I was about to throw up, they said something like this is the last time for him, the last time he will stand on a stage like this, packed like this, and I somehow managed to find the slightest thing to smile about. It was the only line of the show that was any good!

Really? I could not disagree more!

Somewhere Sarah...

Somewhere Sarah is the true story of an unmarried young woman who unexpectedly found herself pregnant. But unlike many women with “inconvenient” pregnancies, she refused to have an abortion...instead she carried her baby to full term and then tearfully gave up her newborn daughter Sarah for adoption.

Inspired by the crisis nature of her own experiences, that unmarried young woman, Jeannine Greenlee Floores, went on to become a leader in the pro-life movement and in 1991 founded Sarah’s House, a Christian maternity home in Simi Valley, CA.

Today Jeannine lives in Austin, TX where she has founded Breath of Life Maternity Ministries and a second Sarah’s House. Through BOL, Jeannine presents benefit concerts that raise funds for maternity homes throughout the country.

“Somewhere Sarah” is sung by the real Jeannine Greenlee Floores with additional vocals by Jeannine’s niece, Lindsay.

Lyrics:

Somewhere Sarah’s one today,
this is her first birthday
proudly snapping pictures, Mom and Dad,
one candle on the first cake Sarah’s had.

In my dreams I see her curls,
laughing eyes and cute dimples;
prettiest and smartest in her class,
nine years old and fourth grade came so fast for my Sarah.

I see Sarah’s face in every girl I see,
sidewalks, shopping malls and even on TV.
I don’t even know if Sarah knows my name;
papers that I signed gave them the right to change.

Somewhere Sarah, somewhere Sarah!

Somewhere Sarah lives today
because God gave me the strength.
Wonder if her parents have told her
how much love it took her birth mother to let her go!

My friends pressured me to end my pregnancy,
but I could not punish her for my misdeeds.
I have no regrets I gave my Sarah up,
all I had to offer was a mother’s love.

Somewhere Sarah, somewhere Sarah!

I praise God my mother chose life, not abortion!

Somewhere Sarah,
somewhere Mother,
may God bless you!

The third song down, called “Somewhere Sarah” is the true story, a christian song written as a gift for a woman who struggled against the constant advice of abortion and who instead gave her daughter up for adoption back when she was in college. It's the story of baby Sarah growing up, from the birth mother's dreams. It made me cry yet I absolutely loved it.

I've never done this before, recommended a song... _http://ranbirkins.com/songs.php I personally know the songwriter, I promise it's a safe/solid site. Somewhere Sarah... and grab a tissue! It's a great, great story!

It fixed it fully for me but I had two settings that needed to be changed from 50 to 20, not just one.

If Sandy states had supported ABO I would help, but they chose big government, so they get what they wanted and it was Obama not “we the people”

I would add guilt/regret

Now those are some well written and meaningful questions! Maybe you should be a pollster! It’s heartbreaking, what we are witnessing, and your questions tell the story well.

It’s not real, sleeve on the sweater does not match that of woman in the backgroud. There is no such event.

I don’t think we should hold the House back, instead it should keep submitting bills that uphold the job they have taken, and keep screaming that it’s the Senate that won’t bring anything up for a vote, etc.

And because so many “hate the Bush tax cuts” and have never even bothered to learn how fortunate they were when that went in, I say we let it got and let everyone fall into the world of the AMT. Maybe then, and only then, will they see Bush, and taxes, in a different light! I say let’s do it!

My husband passed away two years ago and left me with a nice pension. That, combined with income from investments and my employment, puts me in Obama’s web for the taking. I am going to sit down tonight and figure out how many hours I have to reduce my work schedule by to get out from under his attack and then request a flexible work arrangement with my employer. When they ask me why, I will openly admit it is foolish for me to work hard and be successful with Obama as my president!

bring on the fiscal cliff... please...

Your vote is in and ours are in, or coming. And while I respect your opinion, as you would hopefully respect mine, I would still like to suggest that the rest of us here on FR don’t spend any more time discussing with you. Can’t change your vote now... my guess is you will sleep through everything tonight knowing your candidate is not going to be the surprise the rest of us will be up watching and hoping and praying yet still that we will have the numbers to derail the current administration full and full!

Biden is so confused, he voted for Romney today...

Not sure about Redding but I'm about to go find out. I ALWAYS vote at 6:00 am, the minute the polls open, but this year I decided to wait and join the experience... I pray as I leave the house that there is a line. My brother from Litchfield is going at lunch and he is also praying for a long line. We seem to think enthusiasm will be for Romney/Ryan and both personally hope to see it. Will let you know what we see...

I saw him go in this morning, and based on his current frame of mind, I was clearly thinking he probably voted for Romney by mistake :)

I would crawl through glass, walk on coals and even swim through slop to vote today! All I am facing is a little frost on the windows... but it's first time this year really, so hopefully the blind voters are curling up in their blankets thinking all is ok. Let's take this country back!

Please pray for CT too, we very well may be a PA in hiding? Am I dreaming? Honestly I don't know what internals are saying but I do know what my friends and family are feeling, and CT will be surprise, either we close the gap or we shock everyone! Pray for us, I think the latter is possible... please, CT must matter because all of sudden we had ads recorded by our CURRENT President for CMurphy directly. What the heck is that? We are in play, I know it, I feel it, I believe it! Please pray for us too!

Wow, you are still here? There is still hope for me after all, you idiot!

Praying every day... also, is it me or is there a vast difference in the composition of the early voting lines? I think ours prayers are being answered, and can’t wait to vote!

I got mine the same time I got regular census form.. . I answered only my name, number of people home and an employment question may e... Don’t remember but I signed and mailed mostly blank. I did not lie, I just submitted incomplete just as I did the original census. Never heard a word.

Reasons for their swap... 1) has had two children since last election and can't believe the debt situation, paid attention to it before but so much worse now and nothing to show for stimulus, thinks it went to crooks. The day that sealed it for her was the day Obama laughed as he said shovel-ready wasn't really shovel-ready. Friend number two is a voter but not all that passionate about politics, news, etc. She is voting Romney because she can not understand how Obama can be campaigning and golfing all the time. And she thinks he has divided this country that is not healthy for any of us. And number 3, she just changed her mind and could maybe go either way, but for now she is sick of the fact that Obama has no message except hate Romney, whereas Romney takes his shots but seems to really want the job, whereas Obama seems bored with it.
