Free Republic

The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

Americans celebrate Christmas in many different ways but in Bakersfield, California, an apparent secular fanatic observed the holiday by dousing himself with flammable liquid and setting himself ablaze. According to press reports, he meant to show his passionate objection to Thursday night’s decision by the Kern High School Board of Trustees to change the name of the winter break to “Christmas vacation” and the spring break to “Easter Vacation.” The protester (the headline proclaimed, “Name Change Sparks Protest”) first set fire to a Christmas tree and several flags, then lit himself to express his displeasure at the Board’s decision. Fire...

Last July, in response to Bush the Evil's enabling of Israel's gratuitous slaughter of thousands of Lebanese civilians and destruction of the country's infrastructure, I wrote about "the shame of being an American." With the ongoing slaughter of our troops and Iraqi civilians in Bush's war in Iraq, it is time to revisit that theme. As the Iraqi civil war (euphemistically termed "sectarian violence") intensifies, both U.S. and Iraqi casualties have sharply increased. Thirty-five U.S. troops have been killed in the first week of December. Iraqis are dying at each other's hands at about 100 per day, with many more...

United for Peace and Justice, the lead organizer for a mass march and rally against the Iraq war to be held in Washington, D.C. next month is promoting a music CD that features a song about murdering Halliburton executives.Released in September, the CD by David Rovics, Halliburton Boardroom Massacre, is being sold online by Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Overstock among other online retailers.United for Peace and Justice is being given a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the CD.The title song on the CD is written from the perspective of (an anti-American leftist pretending to be) an...

Full disclosure, I'm a democrat, so get over it. I'm not here to insult you, and I'm certainly not here to gloat. I'm not here to trade barbs, undermine Free Republic, or infiltrate your ranks. I'll be honest ? I disagree with most FReepers on almost every issue. So, why am I posting a new thread? Because I ? we ? need you. We at Democratic Underground and Daily Kos, and all of the lefty blogs you love to hate, and who love to hate you. We need you to acknowledge that if there's one thing we're learning about our...

I can say without an iota of hesitation or regret that I will cast a ballot for a Democrat for only the third time in my 26 years of voting. The only Democrats I ever voted for were Ann Richards for governor on TX against that quack Clayton Williams and for Lloyd Bentsen for Senator from TX. Due to my total disgust with the way the Federal and the state governments have conducted themselves and how they have failed to act in the interest of this country, I will proudly vote a straight Democrat ticket this year and as a...

What's wrong with you people? Your corrupt, despicable party has control of everything and you still complain. Whine and bitch. Whine and bitch. I feel sorry for you. Bill O'Reilly, Tom Delay, Rush Limbaugh mentality makes for a new meaning for Republican "CONVICTION".

For if you persist in trying to hijack the governments of this nation - local, state and federal - so as to remake this great land into a theocratic nightmare, we will destroy you: we will burn you out of your homes and businesses; we will shoot you down in the streets; we will march on and sieze the major cities and capitols across the land. We will make war on you until either you have surrendered or none of you are left alive. We know how to do this, because we are Americans too, and have done it before:...

In this war freedom should come first not after! In New Hampshire the Motto is Live free or Die! I don't need Bush spying on law abiding americans and taking our freedoms. Anyone who surrenders a square inch of freedom to the government in the name of saftey is a traitor and should be treated like one! Let the Bush Fashists all drop dead! Filthy Commys! LET FREEDOM RING!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans...

Killing many of th innocent does not uphold what the Constituion clearly wnats in severe regards. I don't want Ben Ladin to prevail in what is the most serious of kinds but doing the deeds of crminilaty my not work to the good advantage too. In 1932, said that no type of terror shouild work to stop the good. This may be true but I see Gitmo and Afghanistan over and abopve what the good in iraq will come and find a tough balnce to meet. We shall see.

<p>The disaster efforts are a disaster itself.Why did it took 4 days of suffering four these people to get any aide till it was sent to them?It was now a week of this BS!!If Rudolf Guiliani is mayor he would've done it a better job than this.This was acceptable!! It's was partly to blame on both the Clinton and Bush administrations for cutbacks of the funds for to fix the leveys of New Orleans.I thought these folks would've had a better chance of survival if the leveys were fixed like they were supposed to.Instead,the money was rerouted to fight the Iraqi War and hailliburton!To hell with wars as far as I'm concerned.The evacuees of New Orleans,Mississippi and Alabama are more important than human life is more important right now.We've got people dropping dead out there and more to come man!This is a disaster of the bible's proportions and one that residents of Louisiana had feared for years would happen.There nightmare has now reached the fruition and their are still peeple in that god-forsaken superdome still waiting to get out of that cesspool,hellhole that is full of human boddies with the unbearable stench of dead bodies,human waste and mold.How the hell can the National Guard force the remaining 10,000 peeple to remain in such an environment?This is excusable!! They should let those people sleep outside in the open-air where it's much better than inside that disease-brewing superdome.What do they intend to do if a disease pandemic results from this?They obviously don't think about that.Somebody has to be accountable for the dead.If theier is people looting in the streets of New Orleans it's because they do that to survive.They are starving for Christ's sake.Do you blame them? What is wrong with looting?!?! When it comes down to stealing you gotta do what you gotta do to do-even if it means breaking some laws.There's still peaple in flooded areas still waiting to be saved.By the time help comes their way,more will be dead.There's no cents in rebuilding this town because it is built in a stupid way by 3 bodies of water.Who the hell in their right mind would want to take another chance and go back to that?So what if they rebuild the city.It's still in danger of being wiped out again of Katrina!Anyway,this is one big flop-up that will be on the minds of voters next election.Keep your eyes glued to the TV because more dead are on the way and it's all BUSH'S FAULT!</p>

You know, we complain a lot about the war in Iraq yet here we are just sitting here and complaining. Why don't we do something and go enlist, or go encourage like-minded family members to do so?

<p>I just heard that Bush and company is trying to pass a law that adds extra taxs to cheap beer like Milwaukee best and naturl light. He is going to raise the taxs on these bears by a nikel so he can recoop his money loses in the irag war. He and his old guys party the repitleublicans want to sock to the little guy and college guys like me who can only offord cheap bear and not the good stuff like all you chumps drink that sam adems and budwizer and coors lite and other big shot drinks. Give me a brake. Bush is not going to tax those bears because all his rich buddys drike them so he will tax all the people that didnt vote for him in the erection of 04. It is pay back for us not cow towing to his right wing aganda that only serves to destory the poor and working stifs like me and my mom and dad. So when I go to by some natey lite toniht with my fake id (scew the govement!!!) I will stock up and by maybe 3 or4 cases to hold me over so Bush won't be able to tax me and my bear and get himself out of that mess of a war in the muddle east. If I were you I would do the same and show Bush and his company of hooligans that we can't be taxed and tricked like little cirus animals that are beaten to dance and do tricks for use humans. Have a good day and don't let them know your on to them, that you know that they are trying to keep us down. Slowly now slowly we turn the tide!!!!</p>

I think that only one thing will stop that eval CrapBC. A boycot of there sponsers. I am gonna boycot Wallmart. I don't care if my home decorating suffers, they deserve it if they are gonna support a Kerry loving journalist. I am gonna call my Wallmart's manager tommarow and tell him that noone in my family will shop there anymore. I'll take my money to people who support the GOP cause. Who else should I ad to my boycot list?

Are conservatives usually just grumpy people who just plain suck? Well, yes. Yes they are.

Dear Saddam, Remember when we first met on that magic night in Baghdad in 1983? You were gassing those wacky Iranians with chemical weapons and having a grand old time, but Ronnie and I just said hey, 'dictators will be dictators' - know what I mean?!! Hahaha. It's a good thing we sold you all those weapons and military equipment that you used in crushing your own people. Lord knows what might have happened if we hadn't stepped in to help you out. What a time it was too! We sold you all kinds of fun things - anthrax, VX...

1. Like Hitler, President Bush was not elected by a majority, but was forced to engage in political maneuvering in order to gain office. 2. Like Hitler, Bush began to curtail civil liberties in response to a well-publicized national outrage, in Hitler's case the Reichstag fire, in Bush's case the 9-11 catastrophe. 3. Like Hitler, Bush went on to pursue a reckless ultra-nationalist foreign policy without the mandate of the electorate. 4. Like Hitler, Bush has accordingly improved his popularity ratings, especially with veterans and conservative Republicans, by mounting an aggressive public relations campaign against foreign enemies. Just as Hitler...
