A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

I, Gore. And I hate Bush! Part II

by JohnHuang2

It's Deja vu, folks. I'd have finished this essay sooner if it weren't for all the dang interruptions. Some federal agents kept ringing my door bell, wanting to know what book I was reading and what websites I visited since last questioned -- 20 minutes earlier. At first I thought it was some annoying salesman at the door. Then I heard, 'This is the Bush Secret Police! Open up or I'll frog-march you out of that house in hand-cuffs!' Living in a Police State ruined my whole day.

It all so vividly reminded me of Gore's speech Sunday.

America, says Gore, now lives an Orwellian nightmare of horrific repression by Bush in which federal agents pursue suspected terrorist activities before terrorist activities are committed, illegal combatants are treated as illegal combatants, illegal non-citizens as illegal non-citizens (some even jailed and deported!), and al-Qaeda communications intercepted just like narco-traffick communications. You'd think there's a war going on or something.

There are even chilling reports of government agents removing displays of the Ten Commandants...oh, wait.

Gore's address has dominated the airwaves for days, a testament to the overwhelming strength of the current crop of '04 titans. Gore started his speech with a touch of humor, noting he's a "recovering politician." But then the speech got funnier. Gore took aim at the U.S.A. Patriot Act, a right-wing Republican power-grab which passed the Senate by a razor-thin 98-1, and the House, 357-66. Proving the real intent here was to turn America permanently into tyranny, many of the law's provisions expire by 2005.

Gore charged Bush with using "fear as a political tool to consolidate (his) power and to escape any accountability for its use." (There is overwhelming fear of Bush throughout this Police State -- only 67 percent say Bush is honest and trustworthy! -- and some suspect Gore's using this fear as a political tool to consolidate his base and remind Americans of just how much safer they would be under Gore. Why, just listening to Gore's speeches is enough to make you feel safe, more at ease...more relaxed...really relaxed...to the point that you start...*y a w n i n g* ... which prompts more *y a w n i n g* till you can't stand it anymore and you soon zzzZZZzzzZZZ).

See? Don't you feel safer just watching Al Gore on TV -- safely away from the White House?

"In my opinion, it makes no more sense to launch an assault on our civil liberties as the best way to get at terrorists than it did to launch an invasion of Iraq as the best way to get at Osama bin Laden," Gore added.

Bush says the U.S. is fighting terrorism -- yeah, right. Nice try, Bush. Look, don't let Bush fool you. That's not what all this repression and tyranny is really about. This Orwellian nightmare we're living under has been Bush's life-long pursuit -- his dream all along. It's a Texas thing -- the pursuit of despotism. Buttressing his point, Gore looked really repressed and tyrannized as he delivered his speech before a crowd of internet Fedayeenies at Washington's DAR Constitution Hall. Indeed, you could see it in his eyes, and in the eyes of the crowd as it cheered -- all the oppression and tyranny they've suffered under Bush and Dick Cheney. It's enough to make you want to call Amnesty International, just in case they missed the speech, which was carried on C-Span, which Gore invented. (The White House, up to its usual bag of (tyranny) tricks, tried jamming all broadcasts of Gore's speech, but the jammers were so electrified by Gore's speech that they fell asleep).

Gore told the crowd of Move-on-ers who won't move on, "for the first time in our history, American citizens have been seized by the executive branch of government and put in prison without being charged with a crime." Analysts note this was another brilliant point by Al Gore. Would-be dirty bomber Jose Padilla was seized by the executive branch of government, not the legislative branch, another chilling first. (You can understand how all this talk of 'branches' makes the Wooden-One a tad nervous; a little 'branch' here, a little 'branch' there, and pretty soon you're talking a whole Gore). Nor has the dirty bomber had access to a lawyer, a thought which sends shivers up and down the spines of lawyers. Indeed, the heartbreaking plight of Jose Padilla is probably hot topic for nightly family dinner conversations across America. Think of how peachy things would be if Bush would just junk this idea of putting people in prison without charges, when all he has to do is switch parties, rename himself FDR, and start putting people in internment camps without charges. Or he can just say he's channeling FDR.

Or whatever. Anyway, in my opinion, it makes no more sense for Gore to launch an assault on the White House as the best way to get civil liberties than it did for Gore to launch a run for the White House as the best way to get to the White House.

In each case, Gore was barking up the wrong, er, tree.

Gore, calling for repeal of the Patriot Act, also harshly criticized imprisonment of al-Qaeda at Gitmo, demanding the cuddly little Hannibal Lecters be given hearings, judicial review and free subscriptions to Taliban Digest and Terror Sports Illustrated. "If we don't provide this, how can we expect American soldiers captured overseas to be treated with equal respect?" Gore pointedly asked. It's an excellent point since we all know al-Qaeda, except for some suicide bombings here and there, is signatory to the Geneva Conventions. (Gore's remark suggests that half the people in his audience probably wouldn't even be there if he were president. The other half would be wearing Burkas).

Gore, who accuses Bush of imposing 'Big Brother'-style Government, also accuses Bush of waiting too long to impose Big Brother-style Government, chiding Bush for not connecting the 9/11 dots early on and preventing 9/11. Or that Bush's Big Brother-style Government isn't working efficiently enough. For example, there isn't enough domestic spying: "In particular, the critical FBI-CIA coordination, while finally improved at the top, still remains dysfunctional in the trenches," says Gore. Although Bush is an absolute tyrant, who has organized law enforcement, intelligence and investigative agencies in service of tyranny, Bush "has still failed to address the fundamental disorganization and rivalries of our law enforcement, intelligence and investigative agencies," observed Gore. Bush's CIA-FBI-DOJ tyrants need to learn to work together better.

The Clinton-Gore administration, even after repeated attacks by al-Qaeda, did little or nothing to fight al-Qaeda, Bush supporters fire back -- a charge that isn't really fair, for Gore has yet to invent a memory chip for himself.

You know, for a guy who gripes so much about wire-taps and bugging, he sure likes bugging the heck out of America with inane gripes about wire-taps and bugging. And about how terribly oppressed he feels living under Bush.

Aren't you still glad these guys aren't in charge?

Anyway, that's... My two cents... "JohnHuang2"

Love your raccoon.Happy day to you.

Great Thursday thread as always. Good job Aqua. :) John, your genius is such fun. I always laugh as I read your work. LOL It makes my day. You have a great way of revealing how idiotic it is to think like a liberal.

..."the crowd of Move-on-ers who won't move on"... LOL

...."we all know al-Qaeda, except for some suicide bombings here and there, is signatory to the Geneva Conventions".... LOL Hello???? Don’t these people see this? Duh! Good grief! How embarrassing to be a liberal.

..."Gore charged Bush with using "fear as a political tool"...

You know, I heard him say this and I remember thinking....You have GOT to be kidding me??? “Fear as a political tool” is the Democrat operational scheme to stay in power. Scare the living daylights out of all the ignorant people who didn't pay attention in their high school economics class. “You’ll be eating dog food if you vote Republican”.

Well, then again, high school economics classes probably don't exist any more because their schedules are so full of drug ed, sex ed, gang ed, diversity ed and tolerance ed. Christians are the devil ed. The sky is falling and it’s all the Capitalist polluters fault ed. We’ll all be dead in 60 years because 3rd world countries have too many babies ed. Killing your baby is a good idea ed. Fish eggs are more important than human beings ed. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were imperialist pig slave owners ed.

White people hate black people ed. Men are pigs and women rule ed. Abstinence isn’t practical so here’s a condom ed. Homosexuality is fun, so experiment ed. Lenin was a hero ed. The U.N. is the greatest thing since sliced bread ed. Soldiers are baby killers ed. Your parents don’t understand you so don’t listen to them ed. Compassion for rapists, child molesters, and murderers is a beautiful thing ed. High taxes are healthy ed. The Constitution is a living document ed.

Which brings it full circle; keep the public ignorant then scare the poo out of them to get their vote and stay in power.

Gore has a lot of nerve to accuse Bush of using fear. What a jerk. He gives me the willies.

Uh….how did I get off on that? ROFL Power to the Homeschoolers!! P.E. is over for me now. Gotta get back to the books. BBL Have a good day everyone.

[SpookBrat]

Oops, forgot to ping you on my post. I always feel bad if I leave someone out. I have some pictures of our caterpillar molting. Wanna see?

How are the kids? Is everyone healthy?

I liked that gortoon tree graphic too. :) Thought it was neat that it was transparent, tried to reduce the size of it but it lost it's transparency in the Photo Shop.

[Aquamarine]

Meekie's good at keeping a full file of these funny graphic's and keeping us in stitches around here. LOL

BTW...You did a great job on that graphic SD! :)

The latest update on Russ Spangler

Hello to all!
I want you all to know how powerful prayer is. As soon as I took the prayer against infection off the prayer list, Russ's white cell count went up. The only reason he is not on the rehab floor right now is b/c his white cell count is up and they want to be sure it is normal (I just found this out yesterday) . He started an antibiotic for it. So I am putting that back on the prayer list and leaving it there. His coughing is much better, but until it is totally gone and he doesn't have to be suctioned out, I am leaving it on the list.

Russ has made REMARKABLE gains just in the last 48 hours. He is talking, brushing his teeth, moving so much that he wont sit still, ripping his trachea tube off every couple of minutes and wanting to move and get out of bed desperately. Yesterday he moved his right toe. He also indicated that he could feel parts of his legs. Right now he is very frustrated at being stuck in bed. His memory is not good and from what I understand, it can take up to a year for him to regain his memory entirely.He pulled both me and his mom to his chest and gave us a big kiss yesterday! He is demonstrating a sense of humor, making faces at us when we ask stupid questions. He told me yesterday that I was asking too many questions.

I hope that my next news to you is that he is on the rehab floor where they can channel this energy that he has. I know that when he gets to rehab his progress will come quickly and it will be exciting to see. I hope that I can properly relate it to you all.

[Aquamarine]

You have a German delicatessen? That sounds wonderful, wish I was there. I've never had Christstollen but I'll bet it's good.

I stayed up and watched the filibuster theatric's until 4 this morning, Brownback was awesome this morning. The rats are being outed for what they really are!

[Aquamarine]

Oh good! John inspired another Spooky rant! :)

You are so correct about the "special" education today's children are getting in this country these days! Hope you saw Senator Brownback on C-Span 2 this morniing, he did a great job of explaining the undoing of our Republic by the liberal judges over the past 40 years.

[Aquamarine]

Thanks for the update on Russ. It's so exciting to hear that prayers are being answered.
Bet you never thought it could feel so good to have a friend irritated at you. :)
