Free Republic

I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would, and I know that they will take care of me if I ever lack for anything. I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is good as long as nobody is offended by it. I’m voting Democrat because freedom of religion is good as long as God the Father or His Son Jesus is never ever mentioned or prayed to in our schools, colleges, and public offices, however, Muslim footwashing stations in our airports and special prayer rooms in...

In perusing the DemocraticUnderground for stories that are truly dumb, stupid, tinhat, reaching and over the top (but I repeat myself), they are now convinced that the Sarah Palin baby story is correct and true. Again today, there is post after post after post after post on this non-story which is now being taken as fact by both the Huffington Post and the Underground. Witness this post from some cretin named habitual in which they are beginning to say it was the Republicans who planted this story originally in order to make them eventually look like fools, as if they...

Pardon the vanity, So I've been reading a bit over at the Democratic Underground lately, and today I think I came to a solid observation. After hearing that the DU'ers were talking about how Palin's baby was not her own but her daughters, I was curious about what they were saying. So I went over there and took a look. They were comparing this rumor to the events that became known as "Rathergate" (Remember how the Pajama Patrol came about?) They seriously think people like Rove orchestrated the shift or public perception from Bush from Dan Rather's shoddy Journalism... In...

I just went over there to look at their "Latest" page..of 45 articles posted, 34 were about Sarah Palin (AND her husband, AND her daughter), (could be more but I didn't click the titles to see what they were actually about), 2, count them, 2 were about Obama, the rest are other stuff.. McCains choice has certainly knocked the Anointed One off the radar, even to those dedicated followers.. heh..I said it earlier, this was a brilliant move by McCain..

I should never be shocked by the bad manners on the left but this stunt just might haunt them more than Wellstone's funeral. There is a key rattling stunt/taunt growing in popularity amongst the Democrats. Some may try to play it off as mocking him for having so many houses but the truth is that the jingling keys are to imitate the prison guards at the Hanoi Hilton. Whatever they're thinking they better stop it soon because even apolitical types will side with McCain out of sympathy if for no other reason. I learned the true meaning of this key...

While it is not unusual for left wing blog posters to do the happy dance when prominent conservatives like Tony Snow or Jerry Falwell pass away or are suffering with deadly diseases, liberal bloggers still find time to ask for death on President Bush on a “Rest In Peace” web post for the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones(D-OH) , who died of an aneurysm today. Liberal web forum, Democrat Underground, allowed poster “Taverner”, who has over 1000 postings to the forum, to write on the Tubbs Jones RIP thread the following: “ If there was a god Cheney would have...

Confession: I spent a little while on DU and DailyKoS. Sheesh, I feel dirty. Still, somebody had to do it. They ARE freaking out. Fractures are appearing over their BO selection...some saying Hillary had what it takes for a street fight and BO does not. They are genuinely disheartened by the latest polling trends...but the MAJORITY are convinced the "One" will pull it out in the end. They are afraid of the GOP...tactically...in an election. They consider the GOP MASTERS of communication, and thereby manipulation, of the "dumb/stupid" electorate. These polls are driving them crazy.

"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" Americans are not smart enough or enlightened enough to vote for one as beautiful as Obamassiah. So says DUmmie MrScorpio, and a lot of his fellow DUmmies agree with him, as we see in this THREAD, "I hate to say this, but sometimes I feel that this country is too stupid to elect Obama." Actually, what the DUmmies are doing here is searching for yet ANOTHER excuse to use--like "election fraud," "racism," etc.--when Opossum loses on November 5th. So let us watch the DUmmies prepare themselves in advance for crushing disappointment, in Bolshevik...

DU is in panic mode. They are asking where are Bill and Hillary when 'The One' is under attack. Major barf alert. I’ve seen Kerry on the M$M but am I missing something? While McCain goes negative, etc. where are the party leaders?? Why aren’t they out there ripping McCain and his campaign for going negative, etc? Where is Hillary/Bill, Edwards, Howard Dean, Pelosi, Reid, ??? Why aren’t they all over the place condeming the crap that’s taken place the last few days? I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they are going to wait until after the weekend? I...

Al Gore steals the show at Netroots By Lilly Rockwell | Saturday, July 19, 2008, 11:01 AM Former Vice President Al Gore stole the show from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s fireside policy chat at the Netroots Nation conference in Austin on Saturday. Pelosi spent 45 minutes talking about abortion rights, efforts to bring the troops back from Iraq and why she didn’t think the Senate version of the FISA bill was appropriate. Some questions seemed to take her off guard, such as when one audience member asked about care packages being sent to troops, and if Congress should pass a...

He’s so old that his young-enough-to-be-his-daughter trophy wife, for whom he dumped the woman who loyally waited for him while he was a POW, is old.

Remember the recent farce when the Guardian's George Monbiot made a spectacle of himself by pretending he was going to subject John Bolton to a citizen's arrest for being a "war criminal"? If the kooks at Democratic Underground have their way, we'll be subjected to more tasteless entertainment along the same lines. DUmmies are advised not to announce they're coming before pouncing on their quarry, and to refer to convictbushcheney.org for information as to when suitable victims might show up in their towns. There follows a long list of "war criminals," along with their alleged crimes, mostly having to do...

The moonbats plan to "Arrest" members of the Bush cabinet after Jan 2009. The moonbats are going even further into looneyland. Some of the moonbat's ideas for "Arresting" members of the Bush cabinet are to read them their rights and tell them that they are wanted for war crimes. Here is the link to their article: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3360349

HEY! Check it out! EVERY posting on all the DUmmie threads now have Avatars that say: "DO NOT DONATE TO DU." What's up with that? Okay, 'fess up. Which one of you LOUSY FREEPER TROLLS sabotaged DUmmieland?

Thank you, Rush Limbaugh for making this Democrat primary the most entertaining one ever. As we have seen, Operation Chaos has already caused DUmmieland to go into full MELTDOWN and now the Daily KOs KOmmies are following suit. It wasn't even a half hour into last night's debate when some KOmmie went berserk with this THREAD titled, "Tomorrow We Take On ABC, and Disney." YEEHAW!!! Break out the ropes! Tomorrow we're gonna HANG 'EM HIGH for daring to ask tough questions. So let us now watch the crazed KOmmies mentally wilting under the effects of Operation Chaos while the...

Dick Cheney is a man that no one is ambivalent about. People either love him or hate him. But love him or hate him, no one would accuse him of being a "wild and crazy guy." Or would they? Look at the picture above, taken directly from the Vice President's WEBSITE. Think it's a picture of an avid sportsman enjoying a sunny day of trout fishing? Look closer at his sunglasses. Closer...clo-oser. Notice a flesh-toned reflection? That reflection got DUmmie Growler wondering. In true DUmmie fashion, rather than zoom in on the sunglasses and apply a simple sharpening tool,...

I am a conservative who has been living at the website democraticunderground.com. Why? Cause it's like watching a car crash in slow motion. It's WW3 over there and I can't stop visiting, looking, and laughing at those guys over there. Do I need help? Or is my "Schadenfreude" ok. I mean we are talking about Dems here...lol

WOW! I have found some really INCREDIBLE information about Pied Piper Pitt courtesy of DUmmie CorpGovActivist who posted it on his BLOG. There is way too much information for me to post it all here but it is definitely of interest to all serious Pittology scholars. Among the many fascinating things you will find there are revelations about Pitt's maternal grandfather and his role in the Chappaquiddick coverup. As a bonus is the Pitt connection to the defense of pedophile priests. Like I said, way too much info to post here so check it out at the CorpGovActivist BLOG....

Isn't it strange how the media is now highlighting how Barack Obama is closing in or passing Hillary Clinton in the various state polls for Super Tuesday yet are completely IGNORING the astounding surge by Mitt Romney in the primary states. Oh, so Obama has passed Hillary in California? Well, Romney has done the same thing by surging past McCain in that state but you wouldn't know it unless you searched hard for that fact in the MSM. Meanwhile on the leftwing blogs virtually all attention is focused on the Democrat race while my own interest in the moment...

I saw this one coming from way back as soon as I heard that the DNC had stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates for moving their primaries up. I just KNEW that even though Howard Dean refused to seat delegates from those two states that Hillary would try to grab those delegates if it would help her. Well, it has happened. Yesterday morning, a statement was posted on Hillary's WEBSITE demanding that those delegates be seated. Gee, do you think Hillary would have made this demand if it would have helped Barack Obama? Of course not. However, Hillary...

Almost as quickly, the fire took on a political cast. The website Democratic Underground lit up with comments and questions from readers: "Too many documents to shred," nradisic posted at 9:48 a.m. "What records are being 'cleaned up?' " asked Botany, two minutes later. "What all is going up in smoke?" asked gratuitous, at 9:53 a.m. On the Huffington Post website, humorist Andy Borowitz had his own take: "The White House, one of the most historic structures in the nation's capital, burnt to the ground today after Vice President Dick Cheney attempted to incinerate a cache of CIA interrogation tapes...

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was great. I did all the cooking and for the first time learned how to make my own gravy which is much superior than the canned gravy in the stores. We sat around and enjoyed the food. Then watched the tube while drinking lots of beer. All in all a very pleasant Thanksgiving. However, there is a group for whom Thanksgiving was absolutely MISERABLE this year...the KOmmies (and probably DUmmies). Yes, the KOmmies just couldn't get politics out of their heads for the holiday. For that reason it has ruined their holiday as you...

Since I will be cooking a complete Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, I have been looking at a lot of videos on how to prepare the meal for this holiday feast. My favorite of all the cooking videos is this one featuring Kenny Rogers and James Brown demonstrating how to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy! And Happy Thanksgiving to all our DUmmie FUnnies fans! Even you, bleedinglib. (You can watch this Thanksgiving video on my BLOG.)

Most of you are familiar with the movie Billy Jack and its sequel The Trial Of Billy Jack which was listed as one of the Fifty WORST Movies of All Time. A few of the more astute among you even know that the Billy Jack character first appeared in a "prequel" called Born Losers. However, how many of you know that there was a movie called Billy Jack Goes To Washington? If you never heard of it, no wonder. It was set for release in late 1976 but after the first preview showing, it was put in the can...

Back in July there was a post by jveritas: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1868512/posts That listed some of the prominent islamic terrorist websites and forums. Many of these were being hosted on servers here in the US. He listed the names of the companies and contact info and urged Freepers to contact them to get them shut down. Most of the sites he listed have since been shut down(at least here in the US) or no longer host jihadi content. I have however come across a few of the sites on the list and links that jveritas provided that make me suspicious that they...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Freudenschade, baby! The DUmmies FINALLY found a hero in Pete Stark who refused to back down from his BDS remarks about president Bush. Only one little problem here, Stark was finally forced to back down today and now the DUmmies are in despair as you can see in this THREAD glumly titled, "(Rep) Stark Apologizes." No more heroes for them. Most likely they should blame Hillary for the Stark reversal because she can't afford to have Democrats perceived as Stark Raving Mad in the general election. So let us now watch the DUmmies go Stark raving mad in...

Okay. He pissed me off. My Father served honorably through almost 23 years of service in the United States Navy. Started fixing Corsairs on a straight deck carrier off the coast of Korea. Ended up as a Leading Chief Petty Officer when he retired. Did Viet Nam. My wife did 10 years of honorable service and got out as a Major in the United States Army. Neither one of them ever felt the need to claim honors that didn't belong to them. This is one of Tom's First posts at the DUmp in 2005:

I often wondered what exactly makes a FReeper a FReeper? Is it the simple act of reading articles on FR? Do you have to post articles or replies? To call yourself a FReeper do you need to engage in effective activism like writing letters to politicians, getting out in the street to carry signs, or, is being a FReeper an attitude. If so, what attitude is that? Knock yourself out.

New Delhi, August 18: The Capital’s roads are becoming increasingly unsafe. In the third instance of road rage within a span of a month, a doctor was injured after two Delhi University students assaulted him at the traffic light in Jagatpuri on Friday night. ‘Reason’ for the attack: the students claimed Dr Aman Rahtogi, of Shanti Mukund Hospital, had bumped into their car near the traffic intersection, the doctors told Newsline on Saturday. Dr Rahtogi said he was headed for his private clinic, in Jagatpuri, after his shift at the hospital in his Alto car when the incident occurred. The...

Anti-depleted uranium activists have enlisted the assistance of all of Hawaii’s leftist alternative weeklies in a campaign against depleted uranium. The Hawaii Island Journal June 30 caries a front page cartoon skeleton in an aloha shirt and the headline “Radioactive us -- danger depleted uranium.” Articles on the alleged risks of depleted uranium appeared in quick succession in Honolulu Weekly, June 13, Maui Time, June 21, and Big Island Weekly, June 27 as well as the Journal. Big Island Weekly points out that the latest anti-DU hype is based on observations in South Kona by an activist armed with a...

Leftists talk constantly of their own "compassion" but you can always count on them to express glee whenever a prominent conservative or religious person dies or is injured. It's almost like clockwork. "Humor" blog Wonkette.com had this to say about the Monday news that U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts had a minor seizure: Chief Justice John Roberts has died in his summer home in Maine. No, not really, but we know you have your fingers crossed. To get an idea of just how full of hate and ill humor Wonkette has become, realize this: the moonbats at Democratic Underground...

Almost from the moment that Jerry Falwell's death was announced on Tuesday, the leftwing nutroots at the Democratic Underground began gleefully dancing upon his grave. Here are just a few of their hate rants about Falwell: Uncharitable or not, I am sorry his death was not more painful and drawn out. He did not deserve a relatively peaceful, painless and quick death. Rot in Hell Falwell! May Pat Robertson and James Dobson be next. I'm putting on my dancing shoes and am going to look for his grave! One more nail in the coffin for the hate crime that is...

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting rampage, Cho Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm room, sources say. The note included a rambling list of grievances and ended with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on the inside of one of his arms.

The Democratic majority was only three weeks old, but by Jan. 26, the grass-roots and Net-roots activists of the party's left wing had already settled on their new enemy: Rep. Ellen O. Tauscher (D-Calif.), the outspoken chair of the centrist New Democrat Coalition. Progressive blogs -- including two new ones, Ellen Tauscher Weekly and Dump Ellen Tauscher -- were bashing her as a traitor to her party. A new liberal political action committee had just named her its "Worst Offender." And in Tauscher's East Bay district office that day in January, eight MoveOn.org activists were accusing her of helping President...

N.Korea says South's Web ban violates freedom Fri Jan 26, 10:40 AM ET North Korea said on Friday the South Korean government was violating the public's basic right to information by blocking access to Web sites sympathetic to the North. South Korea has denied access to more than 30 Web sites that it has designated "pro-North Korea" since 2004, including the North's official KCNA news agency's Web service and sites operated outside.

For the Democratic Underground Losers, the fact of the matter is that Saddam has finally met his maker and is welcomed in hell, thanks to the leadership of President Bush, our troops and coalition partners. Unlike the failed leadership of former President KKKlinton(I will forever spell it with a triple K)who could not even get a conviction against Slobodan Milosevic and who in the end died without being convicted of one crime and our troops remain forever stuck in Balkans in an openended and failed babysitting mission.

Star tipster RLW caught this exchange buried in a thread critical of the anti-semite turned “anti-Zionist.” Evidently DU moderators aren’t comfortable with a Klansman as a spokesman for the progressive position on Palestine. But “a great many” of their readers are. Good news for Hillary, though, huh? She’s got an advantage over Obama that she didn’t anticipate. At least they’re deleting them.

Check out the DUmmie response to an obviously satirical news story! Just goes to show that these mouthbreathers will accept any absurdity as gospel as long as you play to their biases!

The fools on DU are ready to adopt her as their own! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2754336 Hilarious!

LOS ANGELES -- A man was arrested and accused of mailing threatening letters laced with white powder to Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, David Letterman and other high-profile figures, the FBI announced Sunday. FBI agents took Chad Conrad Castagana, 39, into custody Saturday on charges of conveying false information and sending threats via the U.S. mail, the bureau said in a statement.
