Free Republic

I am a strong conservative who believes very strongly in a TWO-PARTY system of National Government -- MAJORITY/MINORITY -- One party leans to the left (liberal) and the other leans to the right (conservative) --- Having said that...... I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN ! -- I AM A CONSERVATIVE .. sorry for yelling.. but so many folks just don't get it... The Republican party has selected John McCain as it's nominnee for President in 2008.. For this I am DEEPLY saddened.. John McCain is one of the most LEFT LEANING Republicans in the party.. which basicly means that the Republican...

For the record I voted for Sarah Palin in the FR poll, but was disapointed that only 40% of FReepers agreed with me.. I would like to see a new FR poll asking how many FReepers are happy with Sarah Palin.. I bet it would be 90% ---- the same as her approval rating in Alaska.... and soon to be her approval in the USA !! On another note I wonder if anyone is making bumber stickers that say Vote for Sarah PALIN for VP... because come November that is what I will be doing... John McCain is tha “baggage”...

.............. AND ............. So there I was.... wondering what the "ideal" ticket would look like in the '08 Presidential race.. As many of you know from previous posts I was looking for a Duncan Hunter / Fred Thompson ticket. I later scratched Fred Thompson off my "dream team" list for reasons discussed in other threads, and have been "searching" for someone to put in the VP slot of my "wish list". Well Sarah Palin's name came up in a recent discussion, and I can't believe that I never thought about her as VP material before --- but after further considetation...

The U.S. military can force its personnel to wear the blue beret of the United Nations and serve under the world body's command, a federal judge ruled. Judge Paul Friedman upheld the military's conviction of former Army specialist Michael New, who refused to don the U.N. cap and shoulder patch and to serve in a peacekeeping mission in Macedonia nearly 10 years ago, the New York Sun reported. New argued that the Constitution and the law governing U.S. participation in the world body prevent the president from sending American troops into possible combat under U.N. command without express authorization from...

OSBORNE FAMILY, PO BOX 38267, TALLAHASSEE, FL ORIDA 32315-8267 CHRISTMAS 2004 Well, another year has come and gone! Is it me, or is that happening way to quickly! We have had a great year this year.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Amendment #1 - YES - Parental Notice for child obtaining an ABORTION Amendment #2 - NO - Requires Supreme court to rule on "validity" of PROPOSED constiutional amendments - I don't think so... the purpose of a proposed constitutional ammendment is for the PEOPLE to tell the supreme court what is "valid" not the other way around... Amendment #3 - YES - Medical Liability - Requires claimant/victim (not lawyer) to get 70% of the first $250,000 and 90% in excess of $250,000 (excluding reasonable costs) Amendment #4 - YES - Allows slot machines in Miami-Dade and Broward...

<p>Open Letter to the Main Stream Media: We are not amateurs and we are going to kick your butts.</p> <p>We have watched you for years try to tell us how to think, what to think, who to vote for and what to believe based solely on your own agenda. In past years, you have come to think of yourselves as the fourth branch of government, the movers and shapers of opinion and the arbiters of truth.</p>

CUMBERLAND - For months, members of the 372nd Military Police Company harbored a terrible secret. The Army Reserve unit based near here - whose service in Iraq made many of its members hometown heroes - had boasted six months ago of its credentials for a new security assignment at a prison west of Baghdad. "We are relying heavily on our soldiers with correctional [officer] experience," said their newsletter, published in the local newspaper. "The regular Army can't touch us with experience." But months later, the prison detail was disgraced in news reports across the world. The Army said yesterday that...
