Free Republic

A Republican president can often enact a more liberal agenda than a Democrat could because many Republicans in Congress are more loyal to party than to principle. Over the past few generations, congressional Democrats could customarily be relied upon to promote a liberal agenda while their Republican counterparts developed the reputation of being stalwart opponents of our nation's slide into big government and internationalism. The record shows, however, that during the past 50 years, congressional Republicans have exhibited such opposition only when....

America is very very bad country. Horrible country. Shame on you freepers for not including afghanistan and iran and iraq and all the other middle easterns countries on the list you segregationist. You got to be ashamed. Cause were brown, One day we browns will come and get you racist.

A small town in Indiana and a brief filed saying that Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided are entirely positive signs on first inspection, but the second reveals only a leaning and not a falling off on one side or the other. This is, of course, by White House design for the public understanding of Judge Roberts. Bush has exhibited his recurrent traits and examining G.W. Bush right now is the only way to know what really is in the heart of Judge Roberts. Roberts is deliberately without much record. He is deliberately congenial and with friends all around. He...

dude... like Jackie Gleason was a brother.

<p>Ok just want to make this clear most people in New Hampshire are democrat because didnt you watch the election NH went democrat just because Adam Sandler is republican doesnt mean the whole state is. I know because i live in NH.</p>

I really am worried about this website. Don't you all see that this is exactly what Satan wants? All of us to say absolutley terrible things about this guy? I really think he should suffer the consequesnces for what he has done, and I hope that the victim can come out of this with a lot of help from Christian counseling so he can make others more aware of the problem, but what I feel we should all be doing as Christians is prayng for Larry Lance Carlton. He is obviously very troubled and maybe even possesed. The hope is...

Today's interview is with House Majority Leader Tom Delay. As you know, this will be the first interview with Rep. Delay since he escaped from the police on the way to the death house after bein wrongly accused a killin his wife. How do we get these interviews! FAFBLOG: So, how's things, Tom Delay? TOM DELAY: Terrible, Fafnir. I'm a fugitive from the law... hunted by partisan Democrats obsessed with my capture and accused of killing my own wife! FAFBLOG: Oh no! We have to team up an find the real culprit an clear your good name! TOM DELAY: Well,...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Interesting how Nobody seems to recall THAT BUSH AND HINCKLEY HAD DINNER PLANS THAT NIGHT He is currently undergoing emergency surgery at George Washington University Hospital but there are unconfirmed reports he walked in unaided. Initial reports claim he may have a punctured lung. Five to six shots were fired as he left the Washington Hilton Hotel where he had been addressing a union convention, about one mile from the White House. A man, firing at close range, also wounded White House Press Secretary James Brady in the head. A Secret Service official and a Washington policeman were also injured...

I work for the Bank Group and this is a disastrous appointment - one of the worst in a long series of bad appointments and a new low, even for Bush. Even though the Bush cabal telegraphed their intent several weeks ago I kept hoping that it was a feint or a ruse. I should have known better. He wants to run the Bank into the ground as he did with all his other business enterprises and as he is doing to the US. I truly fear for the US now in a way I never have before - heck...

What's the deal with all the dead scientists?

I decided to change my ways. After a lot of soul searching, I've realized that the GOP does not have my best interests in mind. I can no longer support an administration and a party that cannot look beyond the immediate future and see the long-term consequences of their actions. I've thought about where this administration's policies will leave me and my future family in 30, 40, 50 years....and I do not like the picture. I never thought I would say this, but I'm turning blue. While some of you may call me a jackass, I am now proud to...

Replete with esoteric symbols, conspiracy research certainly warrants semiotic examination. Although fraught with historical flaws and theological distortions, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown acknowledges the value of semiotics in studying the conspiratorial world. In fact, the novel’s central character is a semiotician specializing in symbology. Evidently, Brown recognized the potential of semiotics in analyzing the coded messages of cabals occupying history’s darker corners. September 11th is one such corner that is worth semiotic analysis. Numerous researchers like Michael Ruppert and Dennis Cuddy have done an excellent job compiling the evidence of government complicity in 9-11. Recapitulating their arguments...

“As we here at home contemplate our own duties, our own responsibilities, let us think and think hard of the example which is being set for us by our fighting men. Our soldiers and sailors are members of well-disciplined units. But they're still and forever individuals, free individuals. They are farmers and workers, businessmen, professional men, artists, clerks. They are the United States of America. That is why they fight. We too are the United States of America. That is why we must work and sacrifice. It is for them. It is for us. It is for victory.” -- Franklin...

Last week a British reporter was detained by immigration officials and then expelled from the United States for traveling here without knowing that the visa rules had changed. More precisely, she didn't know that a decades-old unenforced rule was suddenly being enforced against friendly tourists long accustomed to entering the country without a visa at all. Elena Lappin, a freelance journalist from the United Kingdom (who has written for Slate), was stopped at Los Angeles International Airport, subjected to a body search, handcuffed, frog-marched through the airport, and then held in a cell at a detention center overnight—all because she...

I'm not sure I understand why awards are necessary, and having won and lost my share in the past, I'm certain those who are nominated aren't quite sure either. Award ceremonies themselves are excruciating affairs where you try to act as normal as possible while your stomach flips in circles and your mind tries to rectify the banality of it all: Does this define me? Am I more than a list of accomplishments? At the end of the night, invariably, the answer to both is, God, I hope so. All of which is why I've chosen not to notify the...

I have been writing to numerous people ever since September 11, 2001. That event changed me. Before September 11, 2001 I assumed our government knew what it was doing in the world and I never questioned anything it did, but after September 11, 2001 i started to think ,why would anybody hate us so much as to try to kill as many Americans as possible. My quest for the truth lead me to one very sobering conclusion.........our policies, even before our independence in 1776, has gradually created a world in which we do not realize what people around the world...

Can anyone help me with writing a college twrm paper I have to do do on Islam, Airubs and mowzloms? I did a google for research matierial and I came up with your website and noticed that you had alot to discuss. I already have some stuff from Ergin Cainer Anis Sharosh and Robert Spenser. Anything you can share with me that's important like is Islam peaceful, what the Koran says and about the life of Moehamid?

I am infuryated at this Blog someone Emailed me. It's called "The Benquirer". The Author atempts an imagined Non-existent sex scandal between Bush and Margaret Spellings. As if Bush is Klintoon! THere's more Pathettic stuff there, not Even worthy of commenT.

"The 'War on Terrorism' And the New Rules of World Order Doctrines and Realities" A transcript of the talk given by Noam Chomsky in Antigonish, Nova Scotia on October 13th. Please distribute this, make a pamphlet out of it, e-mail it, whatever. It took REALLY long to transcribe. Well I’ll say a few words about Iraq. But then I’ll turn to more background issues, continuing issues that fly beyond what’s going on now. Actually, we get lots of reports from Iraq, but they’re very narrow in their character. Almost entirely, they come from inside the ‘green zone,’ the carefully protected...

Exactly why are you retards happy that this Cokehead chimp is back? Do Conservatives like escalating budget deficits? I guess so. Do Conservatives like pointless wars initiated by lies? I guess so. You really must love outsourced jobs and a crappy economy. You are probably too stupid to realize how the country is now screwed. To hell with all of you.

I live in a battleground state and I am thinking of voting for Kerry. Sure Bush is tough on the war on terror, but I don't think circumstances will allow President Kerry to be any less tough. Also, with the GOP keeping Congress, I think a divided government will be good fiscally, as Bush ddoes not seem to be able to control runaway spending with his own people in Congress. A divided government will really help to limit the size of government. What do you think, Bush or Kerry?

Warning! Read quick before the "Free" republic KGB Gestapo hides this information from you. Beware you are being brain washed by this Free Republic website Freep homepage says: "Statement by the founder of Free Republic: In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing...

is it just me or do kerry and edwards both seem to be gay! if you havent noticed, just watch closely the way they act. they have both made many gay jestures throughout the campaigne. we've also been hearing a lot of rumors here in ohio about kerry and little boys. just thought i'd let everyone in on the scoop.

Dear American Conservative friend, Greetings from your neighbor to the north, Saskatchewan. Canada. I am 53 years old and at home in poor health. I am a Conservative and very much admire President George W. Bush. Please take a look at my biography at my website to see my close association with Republicans in the USA. As a hobby I love to follow American politics on the Internet and on cable TV. I also collect Republican political buttons and T shirts. (X Large) -- and brochures and bumper stickers. I would really be very grateful and honored if you would...

These are the times for all men of sense to realize the source of the scam mentality on the AWOL papers is a Bush bastion. These are the people the must impune the source because they can not deny the facts. In logical arguments it is called poisoning the well. The fact that the "BIG FAT IDIOT" based his entire ludicrous show on this "scam" mentality shows the right is scared to death that their 911 "warrior" will be shown with no clothes on. (Sorry about the semi-mixed metaphor). Think don't feel. Reason don't argue. Reasearch don't blog.

The People's President For he is the man for the people, of the people. He represents the truest of American ideals in domestic and foreign policies that as a nation we are desperately pleading for. For over twenty years he has served in the Senate proudly, and during his youth, in a time when a man makes decisions that will define the choices of his future, he stood proudly and volunteered his service to the United States of America. His ideals and choices for strengthening America are clear based on his Senate service. He believes in a nation that is...

AFTER ZEL MILLER'S SPEECH AT THE CONVENTION, HE HAD SEVERAL INTERVIEWS. ONE OF THESE WAS WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS HOST OF MSNBC'S "HARDBALL". MR. MILLER HAD STATED IN HIS SPEECH THAT JOHN KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS IN THE "WAR ON TERROR". MR. MATTHEWS QUESTIONED MILLER'S USE OF THE TERM AND ASKED MR. MILLER IF HE TRULY BELIEVED MR. KERRY WOULD USE "SPITBALLS" AS WEAPONS. MR. MILLER INFORMED MR. MATTHEWS THAT HE WAS USING A METAPHOR. FURTHER QUESTIONING AND SOFT PROBING OF MR. MILLER'S SPEECH RESULTED IN AN UNBELIEVABLY ANGRY RANT BY MR. MILLER. MR. MILLER WENT TO THE POINT...

<p>Hi, I am a life-long republican from Iowa, and am very concerned with the direction the Republican party is going. As a man of faith, I am very skeptical that George Bush holds the same faiths I do, I feel he politicizes it FAR too much. I hope this is a true and open dialogue so that we may keep to our values and keep “the good” in office. I want my two children to grow up in a country with real Republican values, many of which reflect the Christian household I was brought up in. I was also taught there MUST be a separation of church and state, a small government, and compassion for fellow man are necessary. I want to live in a country where I can speak my mind about the issues that matter to me without fear.</p>

I live in New York and I'm a Democrat. I'm distressed that so many Republicans believe holding the RNC in New York is a good idea. All I can think is President Bush and Karl Rove are putting ambition above morality. Nearly three thousand people were murdered here. I plan to protest the RNC this Sunday because I think it's the right thing to do.

Registration and User Agreement Purpose: The Free Republic forum is intended for Conservative users who wish to have a serious discussion about political events, conservative principles and the elimination of government corruption and abuse. This is a news and information site not a chat room. Please stay on topic. Free Republic is a supporter of free speech on the Internet but we believe that along with the privilege of free speech comes the responsibility to respect the rights of others.

Ok you guys. Lets be fair here. If you are going to really have a fair discussion on the subject and your TRUELY care about this country and our progress get your heads out of Hanity's butt and refer to this information: The number of bills that bear your name is a poor measure of legislative accomplishment. For example, Ted Kennedy, who most would acknowledge as the most accomplished Democratic Senator in a generation, has had just 9 bills signed into law in 10 years. Of the more than 400 bills Kennedy sponsored in 108th, 105th and 104th Congresses none...

<p>" It didn’t sound like a hard question. After George W. Bush delivered a tepidly received address to a convention of minority journalists, a Native-American editor from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer asked, “What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century?” As president and a former governor, the journalist said, Bush had a “unique experience, looking at [the issue] from two perspectives.” The president fumbled. “Tribal sovereignty means that—it’s sovereignty,” he stammered. “I mean, you’re a—you’re a—you’ve been given sovereignty and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity.” As Bush rambled, looking like a schoolboy unprepared at the front of the class, many of the hundreds of Asian, black, Native American and Hispanic journalists gathered before him…well, snickered.</p>

As we have all seen this week the Democratic Party must come to an official end in this country. We can no longer merely allow them to co-exist with the Republican Party. We can stop them through the FCC suing them over using "offensive hate speech" in all their ads and over the public airwaves. We can cut off their funding this way. Also we must find a legal way to disrupt the electoral process so that a repeat of 2000 is guaranteed. We must pull together and emphasise in the media that the Democratic Party is no longer simply...

By you own admission, the Free Republic hates democrats, non-Christians, gays, the environment, strong women and pacificts to name a few. That's about 80% of your fellow Americans that you oppose. You claim to be defenders of the constitution and yet you support amendments allowing the federal government to tell you who you can marry and what religion you should follow. You claim to believe in free speech and in the next sentence say you will censor anyone that doesn't agree with you. And yet you claim to to be pro FREEDOM? I don't get it.

This is the front page of The Chicago Sun Times' Red Streak publication. I hope the link works, if not it is nearly a full page photo of a casket draped with the U.S. flag and the number 900 emphasized on the paper.

This Is No Time For Libertarian Nonsense By Jim Delinis http://www.freedominion.ca Of all the tiresome political talking points to emerge post-September 11, the civil libertarians have been by far the most tiresome. Attorney General Ashcroft went to great pains to please this group in the original anti-terror bill (the PATRIOT Act) only be to painted as the Devil Incarnate. There is a lesson to learn in all of this. The Civil Libertarians are a relic of a time that has long since past. They, in the name of freedom and commerce, continually stand in the way of much-needed measures that...

This spring, the [Bush] administration significantly increased its pressure on Pakistan to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman Al Zawahiri, or the Taliban's Mullah Mohammed Omar, all of whom are believed to be hiding in the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan... ...This public pressure would be appropriate, even laudable, had it not been accompanied by an unseemly private insistence that the Pakistanis deliver these high-value targets (HVTs) before Americans go to the polls in November.

i am not a democrat or republican. i am saying right now that Bush will lose in November. i'll be back after the election to say i told you so.

freerepublik The Freeper's Pathetic Attempts at Historic Revisionism Regarding Stalin's "Communism" and Hitler's National "Socialism" -By Chris P. Bacon- July 20th, 2001 It has long been a ploy of the right wing in America, especially with regards to our friends (National Socialists as fervent as Hitler ever was) over at freerepublic.com, to convince people that liberal programs such as welfare, gun control, or even public schools are forms of wicked fascism in the truest spirit of Hitler and the "Communists" of the eastern Bloc simply because, in the names of these political dead ends, they included the word socialism. This...

I was watching TV late night and I seen a Kerry in a democratic fundraser. BAr BARa strisand was throwing money at that and well as all the other jewish and librial pukes that were in the building. Still, it is not mr and mrs Kerry. But, Mrs Hintz Kerry. Sorta like Hillary Rodham Clinton. But after seeing all this. I just can't bring my self to see another movie knowing that my ticket purchase can go to the DNC in some way.

ok really this is stupid. i keep on seeing these little bann anime petitions on line it is becomeing very bothersome. i wish the moms would lay off. there really bring unfair. they only gave 2 animes as an example and thoes are clearly said for adults. they dont let go of the grip and its a pian in the ass. im so sick of it. an example of this is Yu-Gi-Oh. in the show when yugi(the main character) summons the dark magcain girl they changed here pentagram to a gam. some other examples are gemini elf(the card) in japan...

Thought half of it was BS -- vague implications with no follow through. But the stuff about corporate links to the war, the Afgan pipeline, connections with the Saudis really caught me off guard. I got home and searched for info to debunk everything and only found info that supported Moore's claims. Also, I live in NYC and the "keep them afraid and people will do anything" hit a bit too close to home. Anyone else see it? Anyone else have questions and doubts? I'm not some DUer planting seeds, I'm just wondering how others are incorporating some of F911's...

I Just saw the Movoie Fahrenheit 911. Man, was I blown away. I am a lifelong Republican and a solid Bush supporter. Did Mr. Moore ever open my eyes! Who knew Bush was so corrupt and incompetent! Good job, Mr Moore for getting the truth out. I feel like my wisdom has doubled after seeing this great movie. Mr. Kerry, chalk up one new vote.

<p>In case you don't know, "Freepers" are fans of a certain far-out-right-wing-nut website and they go on sites like this and "freep" books with one-star reviews without reading them. They're group-thinkers and dittoheads. They go on polling sites and "freep" them as well, and the ones who are technically inclined attempt to infiltrate some websites and shut them down. They're rotten, horrible people.</p>

Communism is No. ONE!
