Free Republic

Why does President Barack Obama’s White House continue to be mired in distraction? Since the president took office there has been Gates Gate; the international snub in Copenhagen, Denmark, after the president flew there overnight to make a bid for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics; the call for New York Gov. David Patterson not to seek election to a full term; and now the puerile decision to attack Fox News.

I post many items here, from business to politics and evrything in between, and sometimes entertainment as a nice distraction from all of the corrupt politicians. Recently I tried to post an article about a supermodel who is pregnant. I thought it was a mistake after it was pulled the first time, but it was pulled a second. What is so objectionable to this news item? And is there a place we can look for a set of rules, as I have seen much worse than this posted int he past.

Women should not hold elective office or be in positions of authority over men. A woman's role is to serve her husband, raise children and provide a good household for her family. As we recite in our wedding vows, women are to obey men, not try and govern them. True conservatives should not vote for a women for any office, be it a local, state or national position. It is sad that so many people are willing to have a woman as president. It would be a signal to the world that the U.S. is emasculated, and has relinquished its...

So, my daughter thinks she lost her favorite D.S. games in the back of the car. It either went behind the seat, or down that little hole where the seatbelts come out of. Is there a way I can get it back short of shoving my hands down blindly in there?

Today FR mysteriously disappeared from the internet. When it came back numerous posts were missing. In other words, it experienced "missing time", a classic symptom of Alien Abduction.

Let's ask the hard question about the Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Is he as far outside the African American mainstream as many of us would like to think? Because Barack Obama's speech on race in America was so candid about both the legitimacy of black and white grievances -- and the flaws in those grievances -- it carried the risk of offending almost everyone.

While the rest of punditry dumps on Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani for his Florida strategy - which, to put it mildly, does not seem to be working - I have to wonder if Giuliani's biggest mistake was not touting himself as the only supporter of abortion rights in the Republican primary. I think he'd be faring better today if he had run as a security hawk and a fiscal hawk, but social moderate. After all, GOP presidential hopefuls John McCain and Mike Huckabee oppose abortion rights. Ditto Republican candidate Mitt Romney - even if he promised in 2002 that,...

Seven years ago George bush and the republicans gave a tax cut to the wealthy. We had a recesion and as far as Im concerned we never recovered. I was working as a telemarketeer and my husband was at an assembly plant. In 2001 my husband was laid off after his job was outsourced. Then I lost my job too. My husband now works at Target and I held a job at Burger King. A week ago my job was terminated after buisness wasn't so well. Now were in another recession and Bush wants yet another tax cut? If cutting...

November 21, 2007 Rod Filbrandt Dear Uptight Seattleite, Where I'm from, if someone comes up and tries to engage you in a conversation about how Hillary is leading an army of My Little Ponies in a secret war against the NBA, the proper response is to avoid eye contact and move away quickly. But you people, despite your reputation for unfriendliness, seem remarkably willing to engage in conversation with random crazy people. I heard one woman say to a man in soiled pants and a ripped, puffy jacket, "Well, anyway, at least it's Friday!" As if on the weekend he...

A quick note to our readers. With the anniversary of September 11 right around the corner, bin Laden releasing a video, and the CIA warning of attacks here in the U.S. I thought I should inform readers of the "American Hiroshima Project." This "project" is a nuclear attack planned for several major U.S. cities. The investigative journalist Paul Williams wrote a book called "The Day Of Islam" covering the subject. Do a search of the title and see what you get for results. It is not a pretty picture. I pray to The One True God, Jehova, that this plot...

Brownback Scrubs Website of Earlier Immigration Vote by: Ben Weyl Thursday (06/28) at 14:08 PM Eleven minutes after voting in favor of cloture on the Senate immigration bill, Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback changed his mind—and his vote—to oppose cloture, MSNBC reported earlier today. Now it seems that the Brownback campaign has changed its mind again, this time on a press release it produced just days ago. On Tuesday, June 26, the campaign released a statement after Brownback voted in favor of cloture. The statement originally appeared here. It’s now gone, but was cached and can be seen here.In a...

Free Republic dungeon masters change "Obama Lied About People Who Died" to "Obama Overstates Kansas Tornado Deaths". I purposefully wrote that headline to reflect the oft spewed line; "Bush Lied, People Died" apparently the dungeon masters here have been to the Harry Reid School of "We Have No Sense Of irony". Or the Nancy Pelosi School of; "America Is To Blame For Everything". Sheesh

Stick a fork in me

Remote detection satellites are used by the intelligence branch of the military to conduct mind control exercises in the theater of war. All this technology is dependent upon the higher branches of particle physics and quantum mechanics. The array of satellites safe in deep space cover the entire earth making the mind control intelligence program widely successful. Be amazed as you view this military program break out of the box. Go to the following web site that shows a real-time mind control zombie being manipulated by satellite and the military. www.MindControlUSA.com

Why would I switch my political party to democrat? So I can vote against hidabeast in the primary, and again in november.

Drunken Swedish moose drowns after fermented apple binge STOCKHOLM (AFP) — A moose that became inebriated after binging on fermented fallen apples in northern Sweden drowned when it fell through the ice of a frozen inlet, Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet reported on Thursday. "The moose appears to have eaten too many fermented apples and become confused out on the ice," Luleaa police spokesman Erik Kummu told local media. Emergency services were scrambled but they were unable to save the four-legged apple thief. For several days prior to the moose's demise, local residents had contacted police after seeing the animal munch its...

<p>The Free Republic keyword feature serves a valuable purpose, it alerts posters to topics that they are interested in and supplements those topics which aren't already listed as available topics.</p> <p>1. Please do not add words like "and" and "the" to the keywords. And PLEASE do not add every word from your title to the keywords, that's just plain annoying.</p>

Socialism is best because under socialism. No one has to worry about being poor or starving to death. No one is poor, unemployed, discriminated, everyone is equal reguardless or race or creed. Today such ideas are condemned as evil. Any attempt to protest against slavery and genocide and human rights violations are met with the cries of COMMUNISM! By the religious right and then they conjure up stories about Stalin, Gulags, tortue, police state etc. So therefore we must stick with the current system of sweat shop slavery, poverty and racism while rich people who already have all they will...

The 2006 FreeRepublic LexiconAKA "The Freepism, Freepology, Lingo, Dictionary, Terminology, Lore Handbook" A revised and condensed version of The Lexicon of FreeRepublic, culled from Lexicon of FreeRepublic - 4th Edition and Freeper Lingo Thread (the history and meening of 'Freepisms' including pictures). Thanks to the many Freepers who contributed! In this latest update, I have cut the emoticons and standard acronyms (LOL etc - which are readily available on the web and previous Lexicons) for the sake of brevity. I have attempted to include all definitions and histories provided to me and give credit to those who provided me the...

To my best calculations, this is my 1,000th screen name at Free Republic! This one will undoubtedly soon be banned, and besides this one, I only know of one other that's still active. I first signed on in September 1999, and I only had a dozen screen names for the first two years. But when the fascist mods showed up, the screen names multiplied. On some days I have had as many as 6! Here's to disrupting the most dangerous website in America! You guys are fools for supporting this place.

<p>Every once in a while I see Freeper lingo I don't understand and have to research to figure out the meaning/background.</p> <p>Today, I thought it would be helpful for newbies (and 'seasoned' Freepers) to have a 'reference' for the lingo specifically related to FR (ie not stuff like LOL etc you can get everywhere else).</p>

Call any Tech Support line, or your bank for that matter. Do you get a fellow American on the other end? Or do you get someone in India that can't help you and just gives you the run around because they don't know any better (which doesn't matter because you can't understand them anyway!). This is not only happening in the Call Center field, but in Technology, Animation and other Media and so forth. This takes away millions of jobs from Americans and at the same time, we have millions of people coming from India who are getting grants to...

Ever noticed lately, how women in general have it so easy? Alway's have to be first at everything, if you go to a marketplace or mall, they have to park the closest, so they don't have to walk so far! Ever notice how upset they get when someone tells them, 'Women' are so spoiled these days? They all have to have a brand new car! Ever notice how women have to the man do their dirty work? Like anything at all that takes any effort. Ever notice how women outlive men these day's? In the 1800's, it used to be...

FREEREPUBLIC IS RUN BY SECRET MUSLIMS, THEY INTEND TO RUN THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT INTO THE GROUND, JIMROB IS A CERTIFIED SECRET MUSLIM FANATIC, HE SHILLS FOR BUSH (IN THE POCKET OF SAUDIS) I AHTE FREE REPUBLIC, GO TO HELL!

I'd do this myself if I was any good with graphics packages. I'm trying to get a binary of John Kerry and Ted Kennedy driving through a Big Dig tunnel with concrete panels crashing around them (preferably while bitching about Iraq or something). If anyone can help or already has something similar, I would greatly appreciate it. I've tried using Paint.net, but it turned into a disaster (hey, I'm a mainframe programmer).

Ok after 8 years of "lurking" I finally have to post a question. After searching and searching I cannot find a list of what the Liberals and Democrats have done to hurt the USA. Could some of you provide a list for me?

<p>If you'll take your "conservative values" blowhard off the air, I promise to vote for whatever right winger gets nominated in 2008.</p> <p>This turd is embarrassing. It's the same thing every show. Some person with an onvious flaw -- so obvious the person themseles always recognize it -- gets paraded out and this phony, arrogant blowhard pretends to "fix" things. Who knows if anything gets fixed, but if it does, it has nothing to do with baldy.</p>

WHEN DO WE GIVE UP .. HOPE I remember a time when I trusted my government. I remember a time when I trusted my policeman. I remember a time when I trusted my news. I remember a time when I trusted my church. I remember a time when I had "hope". I remember a time when I remember .. I trusted. I no longer try to remember. God help all of us Mrclose (comments are welcome)

If so, can I start a daily chat thread especially for us?

looking to cause disruption on right wing forums -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone know a right-wing forum, probably an american one, where i can go and argue (debate...deabte) with right-wingers? Also, does anyone fancy coming with me for a bit of a raid? - A bit of entryism onto a board might go down well... People from urban75.org are notorious for supporting islamic terrorists and very anti amarican and anti israeli

If you think all Americans should have access to affordable health care, then you’re a moonbat. If you want American kids to stop dying in Iraq, then you’re a moonbat. If you believe a livable wage should be available for all Americans, then you’re a moonbat. If you believe it is wrong for the Government to spy on our private phone calls, then you’re a moonbat. If you think it is wrong for America to torture prisoners, then you’re a moonbat. I f you think America and Israel should be above killing civilians, then you’re a moonbat. If you think...

WASHINGTON, May 31 — After vowing to steer a greater share of antiterrorism money to the highest-risk communities, Department of Homeland Security officials on Wednesday announced 2006 grants that slashed money for New York and Washington 40 percent, while other cities including Omaha and Louisville, Ky., got a surge of new dollars.Homeland security officials said the grants were a result of a more sophisticated evaluation process
