Free Republic

Our family is very proud and excited about our son's early decision acceptance to Hillsdale College to attend in the fall of next year. He's also earned a nice academic merit scholarship that we desperately need. We'll figure out how to pay for the rest of it. Couldn't be prouder or more hopeful about his future.

Finally, after years of dreaming, we've finally moving from New Yorkistan to America (the outskirts of Atlanta, to be exactly)! I accepted the transfer offer today, for a position that I really wanted & I'm pretty sure I'm going to love. And to all the Georgia residents out there, I solemnly swear that we will not mess up your state. We're moving to Georgia because we like what it is, not because we want to change it. Having been raised in captivity, I'm thinking it may take us a while to adapt to the wild (AKA freedom). But I'm positive...

Woo hoo!!

I would like to announce the birth of our third and fourth sons Nicholas Paul Roth & Charles Joseph Roth @ 1:01 & 1:02pm respectively on May 6, 2011. The boys are Identical twins born to James & Catherine Roth via cesarian section at Fairview Hospital in Cleveland, OH. They are two months early and will be in the NICU for the next two to four weeks. As many of you will recall, my wife and I lost our second son Douglas Charles Roth to heart problems and CHARGE related Complex on October 1, 2010. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2600641/posts?page=1 We believe that the...

Today is my ten year anniversary at Free Republic. What a decade it's been, I didn't even have an internet connection when I first joined, and I was using the connection at work. Over the years I learned that if you need information on ANY subject, you will find someone here who can tell you what you need to know or find it for you. The diversity and depth of knowledge of the people here never ceases to amaze me. I remember being at a hotel one morning many years ago, and when I was getting breakfast in the lobby,...

I finally got a job, delivering and shuttling rent cars around. I haven't worked since April of '09. I hope that while I'm hanging around the "office" I can pick up on some of their operations to maybe advance to a better position. Pays minimum wage, and part time, but hey, I'm WORKING AGAIN! Wish me luck FReepers.

FREEPER "THE MAYOR" IS ON CAVUTO RIGHT NOW\

Tonight at 5PM I will be on Fox news with Glenn Beck! We will be discussing ACORN and the Working Families Party. What sparked this? ACORN and the WFP not only protested the NY State senate take over, they became violent inside the Senate bldg. People were injured, spit on and intimidated by these thugs. We will be discussing the real reason why this happened. The inside scoop! So tune in at 5PM as we go National! Rus Thompson http://TeaNewYork.com

Michelle Malkin was on Fox and Friends this morning discussing the Chrysler dealership closings and credited Joey Smith (Freeper smith5460) for his work in examining possible political reasons for the closings. Freeper smith5460 has created a blog to update us on his research: http://chryslerdealershipshutdown.blogspot.com His work was first picked up by Doug Ross and then RedState. It then went to Michelle Malkin and is now on Newsmax, and the Wall Street Journal among many many others.

The Iranian based Press Tv has invited me on at 1pm E.S.T. to debate the expiring of Obama's 120 days freeze on Gitmo Trials for suspected terrorists. As we all know during the campaigns Obama and his Democrat allies kept referring to Gitmo as an international Blackeye and his desire to close it, but what sounds good off the teleprompter does not sound in reality as Obama and his allies now face a backlash from voters, who don't want these suspects in their backyard awaiting trials in civilian courts and exposing out dangerous suspects to their mindset. In short it...

Freeper "farsider" (Richard Duncan) has written a new book ("Elements of Faith: Faith Facts and Learning Lessons from The Periodic Table") and is about to be interviewed on KFUO-AM radio, from 6 to 7 PM EST (5 to 6 CST). Wish me luck.You can listen in at www.kfuoam.org. Click on "listen live now" on right side of screen.

Thursday, January 22, 2009 It was a big first day in the White House for President Barack Obama, who announced a pay freeze for his staff, not to mention new (and stringent) restrictions on lobbying. Meanwhile, the new chief executive’s cabinet continued to take shape—Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly got the green light as the next Secretary of State, and Treasury Secretary hopeful Tim Geithner made it through his hearings with promises of confirmation. But not so fast, Eric Holder! The president’s choice for Attorney General will have to wait at least another week after Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee requested...

<p>What a great honor: on Jan. 14, Keith Olbermann named me runner-up to Glen Beck for "World's Worst of 2008."</p> <p>Freepers, I'm deeply humbled by this great award, and I want to thank my publicist, my editor, my wife, and all you little people out there (just kidding, you little people).</p>

Heads up! I'll be appearing on the new "Hannity" show (used to be Hannity & Colmes) tonight to discuss the attempt by zero to replicate Lincoln's inaugural. Needless to say, I knew Abraham Lincoln, and Mr. Obama, you're no Abe Lincoln. Also, I'll be on "Fox and Friends" tomorrow morning at 7:40 am est. discussing more textbook bias.

US President George W. Bush late Tuesday telephoned his apparent successor, Democrat Barack Obama, to congratulate him on his "awesome night," according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "Mr President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters. Laura and I called to congratulate you and your good bride," she quoted Bush as telling Obama. "I promise to make this a smooth transition. You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself," Bush told Obama, she said. The president also invited Obama and his family...

CML Studios Carlos Leon, 25 www.cmlstudios.net North Hollywood, Calif. Carlos Leon is a media mogul in the making. With $25,000 in savings, and no outside financing, he managed to expand the multimedia business he started in a room in his parent's mobile home into a full-service production company with such clients as Warner Bros., VH1, Sirius, and MTV3. Leon, who earned a bachelor's degree in film from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., says the business—which includes a 1,500 square-foot production studio that he built from scratch with help from friends. Up next: Leon is starting an online TV...

All, As things now stand, I'll be a guest in the NY studios for "Fox and Friends" Tues. morning, Sept. 10, in the 6:00 am to 7:00 am hour, discussing my new book, 48 Liberal Lies About American History. Later that day, I'll tape with Sean Hannity for his show, "Hannity's America," to appear on Sunday, 9/14. (I don't know the time). Finally, my booksigning and speech here in Dayton will be filmed by BOOK-TV/C-SPAN for a broadcast date later. The "Fox and Friends" crew is wonderful---I was on in 2006 for my previous book, and I'm looking forward to...

John McCain steps out of partisan politics to congratulate Barak Obama for his achievement on being the first African-American nominated by the DNC (or any party) for president of the United States on August 28th, 2008. After hearing all the negative, catty, petty, cheap shots from democrats today concerning McCain's choice for VP (Gov. Palin), which party has chosen the high road of bi-partisanship? Hint: It ain't the party with the donkey mascot!

On 09/05/2007 a Freeper was born! Our daughter Anna Olivia weighed in at 8 pounds even and was 20-3/4 inches long. She's our first so wish us luck! At first I was very afraid that we had a democrat on our hands: ...but it was soon clear we had a sweet little conservative girl who will make an outstanding nun. We are home from the hospital and mom and baby are both doing fine.

Congrats your marriage September 1 !!!!!!

I have to share -- I took my last final as an undergraduate at 8 a.m. this morning. I graduate Saturday, cum laude, with a BA in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. I'm 35, and this was a return to school as a homeschooling mom of twins :) I'm just so happy! And I start grad school next week LOL Just thought I'd share! I have no regrets over having put off the "college experience" -- I am a much better student now than I was as a "kid" -- and I can't imagine not having been home with my babies...

 Perhaps you're not aware of the kerfuffle between the Council on American-Islamic Relations (a group whose officials openly promote Islamic law in the United States) and the Young America's Foundation. YAF, it seems, invited one Robert Spenser to address their National Conservative Student Conference. CAIR is none too pleased. Spenser, you see, maintains a website called JihadWatch, and is the author of several books that would not be considered to be very friendly toward Islamic fascism. We have such titles as "The Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World's Most Intolerant Religion" and "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam."...

Daniel James Roosevelt Nolen Cutest liberal born baby I've ever seen. I suspect his parents may become more conservative. My son will never tell me but I can already tell it.

Rosen Replay Tuesday 8/22/06 10-11AM Guest: Dr. Larry Schweikart, author of, "America's Victories."http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/DENVER-CO/KOA-AM/Rosen8-22-10AM.mp3 (mp3, 45 minutes) Book Description From the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror, the American military has consistently beaten the odds. It's not luck. America's armed services are under attack. From college campuses to the floor of the Senate, the Iraq war is portrayed as a quagmire, the Army is described as "broken," and our men and women in uniform are maligned as torturers. Hollywood keeps producing anti-war films, and the media celebrates liberal anti-military activists such as Cindy Sheehan. These critics fail to understand the...

FYI, I'll be on Mike Rosen's show tomorrow, Aug. 22, at 12:00 EST. mostly discussion "America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars," but I'm sure the Hezbos and Iran's nukes will come up (let's hope, not literally!)

As Israel pounded Hizbullah targets in southern Lebanon with bombs, artillery fire and advancing ground troops, some Lebanese at home and abroad were quietly applauding Israel's offensive. Most Lebanese oppose Israel's widespread bombardment of the country, and even those in the past who called for Hizbullah's disarmament have, in the face of Israel's military assault, lined up behind the Shi'ite militia. Yet a distinct minority of Lebanese are rooting for Israel to crush Hizbullah - silently if not explicitly. "I'm praying for flattening southern Lebanon," one Beirut native, Micheline Touma, told JTA recently after fleeing Lebanon for the United States...

Greetings, Today on O'Gasbag, Ellis Henican stated that (after listening to Lynn Samuels audio that O'Gasbag played)there were "whacks" on both sides of the political spectrum - he said that while O'Gasbag only cites left-wing whacks, he would cite "Newsmax, Free Republic, and other far right" whackjobs... Just throwing the handgrenade into the living room...

On Saturday, Gibson released a statement apologizing: "After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the L.A. County Sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am...

He also compares the U.S. military's involvement in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War to its current involvement in Iraq. This event was sponsored by the John Locke...

Nothing follows.

A Waterloo man and his dog made a harrowing escape from the clutches of a vicious black bear Thursday while portaging near Wawa, Ont. Tom Tilley, 55, killed the nearly 200-pound bear by jumping on its back and stabbing the aggressive animal with a six-inch hunting knife after his dog alerted him and distracted the bear. "Love is a very powerful emotion and my thought right away was, 'You're not going to kill my dog,' " Tilley said yesterday. "I really consider my dog a hero. Without that first warning I would have had the bear clamping down on my...

FReeper governsleastgovernsbest, AKA Mark Finkelstein, will be on the Lars Larson Show this evening at about 6:30 EDT. Lars and Mark will be discussing the NY Times leak of the government anti-terror program designed to track terrorists' financial transactions. Time permitting they might also get into the amazing ability of Democrats and their MSM friends to switch gears without missing a beat. For months they have demanded a troop reduction. But as soon as there are indications a reduction might be in the offing, they criticize the Bush administration for timing withdrawals for political purposes! Campbell Brown’s interview with Gen....

Freeper Mark Eichenlaub will be on WCTC 1450 with Keith Rasmussen to discuss Saddam Hussein's terror ties Saturday afternoon at 3:15 ET Listen in here http://www.wctcam.com/ I will update with an 800 number later if anyone is interested.

Here's a link to Lars' show: http://www.larslarson.com/

OK, Freepers, heads up. I will be on several television shows and radio shows in the next couple of weeks to promote my new book, America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror. I'm posting this now because next week things start to get hectic and I might not be able to ping everyone who requested to be notified. First, the book is out May 18.

STANFORD, Calif. -- With conservative congressional majorities at risk in next November's elections, President Bush repeatedly should remind everyone that a key reason coalition troops invaded Iraq was to padlock Saddam Hussein's Wal-Mart for terrorists. The administration finally is releasing intelligence documents captured in Baghdad. Bush should use them to detail how Hussein indeed was entwined with terrorists in general and al Qaeda in particular. These papers appear on the Army Foreign Military Studies Office's Web site. (fmso.leavenworth.army.mil/products-docex.htm). The administration should promote a simple URL (e.g. iraqdocuments.gov) so readers easily can examine Hussein's terror ties. According to a March 23...

Kristinn just called to say that he'll be on this afternoon to talk about the war, protesters, public opinion... I wasn't able to get much more information, because his phone is pretty busy right now. I think he said he'll be on during the 5:30 segment. For those of us who never watch Hardball, it starts at 5pm on the east coast.

Kudos again to FR, Buckhead, Howlin, Texasforever, NYCVirago, and of course Jim for having this site to begin with. "Chapter 9 "We're Toast" pg 143 - 145 directly credits Freepers above with uncovering the "missing Documents" out of President Bush's National Guard Service that were distinctly unflattering to the President, and also flat forgeries. I am reading the book at the moment, and I wanted to pause and give credit where credit is due. I thank all those who helped bring to light these roaches that considered themselves so important as to try to influence a Presidential Election. I thank...

Twenty-five years ago yesterday, Bob Nelson was a bright-eyed sophomore at Salem State College, anxiously broadcasting his first radio show. That was when the college station went back on the air after a five-month hiatus because a wind storm had knocked down the antenna. It had taken months to get the money to rebuild it. "I remember catching up on stuff we missed after five months off the air," Nelson recalled. "John Lennon and Yoko Ono had just released an album ('Double Fantasy') before he was killed and I remember we were playing those songs." That was March 12, 1981,...

I am running for Mayor of the New Jersey Region (MidAtlantic State, Junior Statesmen of America)((JSA)) JSA is a youth political organization of which I have been involved for a few years.

Great News! Freepers LS & Jeff Head have just released a book! It is LS (Larry Schweikart) first novel, a thriller about 9/11, "September Day", produced by fellow FReeper Jeff Head. Only available on Amazon/B&N. Hope you'll take a look: Check out Amazon site About September Day No living American can, or should, forget 9/11. But the process of trying to place this book with a major publisher has alerted me to the fact that many indeed want to do just that. Repeatedly, my agent got rejections with the words, "It's well written, but we don't want to touch...
