Found this message this morning at Sipsey site. It was a source of many good war youtubes back in the day, and had some great articles... "I'm spiking the guns here on Sipsey Street Irregulars A couple of days ago, I received some news that ended up shaking me to my very core. After a great deal of consideration, I have decided to close the doors of the Sipsey Street Irregulars. Effective immediately, this blog not be updated or monitored. I know this quite sudden, but I know you guys will keep on going just fine without it. Freedom is...

From: XXX County Transportation Adopt a Highway Subject: BE CAREFUL! A warning we have been made aware of states that kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and water into plastic drink bottles, capping it up and leaving it on lawns, gardens, driveways, in mail boxes just waiting for you to pick it up with the intention of putting it into the rubbish bags. Know that you may never make it! If the bottle is picked up, shaken, even just a little, in about thirty seconds or less, it can build up sufficient gas to explode with enough force to remove...

Do their crimes rise to the level of treason, high crimes and misdemeanors? Do we dare utter the "I" word? Does the future hold ..... gasp ..... impeachment for Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for the unconscionable, treasonous actions each of them has taken in the last few months to "fix" a crisis that they and their partners in crime and the previous administration and congress, created? Is there an international cabal of money changers and power brokers that are calling the shots and Obama, Pelosi and Reid are just willing accomplices? Is there an international plan to...

What are us mere mortals to do in this Financial Meltdown that has seen major financial institutions go bankrupt, many thousands laid off, and the Federal Government using our tax dollars to stem the flow of a new Depression?

<p>Recieved this today in an Email from someone who is not the least bit political! Is the worm turning?</p> <p>Welcome to Toastmasters, June 13, 2033 That's right: 2033.</p> <p>Today Rick Campbell, one of our senior members at age 87, is here to reminisce a bit and give us a history lesson. He says he is so old that he learned to drive an internal combustion engine car (remember those?) with a manual transmission. He once owned a typewriter. He remembers when bicycles had one speed, phones had two-party lines, and cameras had something called film. As incredible as this may seem, he says that when he was young, it was common for people to smoke in restaurants and public places. He is from a different time; almost a different world.</p>

We discussed the Hugo Chavez/ Citgo/ Navy/Military Exchange and Commissary connection here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1710067/posts GREAT NEWS! Upon entering the Smokey Point Navy Exchange/ Commissary today (which I have helped lead a boycott of) I immediately noticed all signs of "Citgo" removed from the gas station! I inquired the Supervisor what was going on, and her response was that our efforts have PAID OFF! It appears all our phone calls and e-mails to the higher ups made the difference! The crews doing the removal are now up the road at Whidbey NAS doing the teardown as well! If any of you that...

No, this is not about Terri Schiavo... This is about the end of a Life of an 81 year old Saint (in MY opinion)! As my Aunt She has been my "Mom" for the 37 years since my birth Mother passed on. Her name is Jean Marie, and she has been "there for me" in every loving sense. She was there when her son and I returned from the War in that hell hole called Viet Nam. She has been the family strong tree against the wind, always there with a smile, comforting words, and a strong wisdom her faith...

Steve Gardner, the sKerry's swift boat Gunner who spoke out against the Presidential candidate, has sent out "Thank You" notes to all who came to his rescue after being fired for his political views.Gardner, as you may recall, was the only crew mate on Kerrys Swift Boat that refused to back up Kerrys lies and distortions, and he paid a very heavy price for it.Gardner lost his job for what many of us here a FReerepublic acknowledge was the biggest reason the socialist scumbag Kerry lost the election...He told the Truth!His note of appreciation, for those who may not of...

John Kerry Kerry-Edwards 2004 Sign John Kerry's "Every Child Protected" pledge today and forward it to your family, friends, and neighbors: Sign the pledge Dear *** I want to thank you personally for what you did in the election -- you rewrote the book on grassroots politics, taking control of campaigns away from big donors.

You moved voters, helped hold George Bush accountable, and countered the attacks from big news organizations such as Fox, Sinclair Broadcasting, and conservative talk radio. And your efforts count now more than ever. Despite the words of cooperation...

Subject: Smart Kid Dan Rather was seated next to little Tommy on the plane and Rather turned to the boy and said, "Let's talk, I think that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers." Little Tommy, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to Rather, "What would you like to talk about?" "Oh, I don't know" said Rather, "How about politics? Should we keep Bush as president or elect Kerry?" "OK" said Little Tommy, "That could be an interesting topic but let me ask you a question first. A horse,...

Click here to help elect Kerry-Edwards & other Democrats in 2004 Dear Jd, I'm interrupting John Kerry's dispatches from the road to tell you about something that will make you angry, but which is important for you to hear. We knew it was coming: the Bush campaign and several allied right-wing groups are using August to launch a vicious smear attack against John Kerry. They think we're vulnerable this month because while George Bush is still able to raise money for attack ads, Kerry had to stop fundraising at the Democratic convention last week. They're taking this opportunity to go...
