Was this REALLY 2003, or is it a misprint.

Drudge used to have a direct link to Free Republic.....that's how many discovered FR in the first place.
I'm hoping that the link to this thread may be a sign that he is willing to consider doing so again!

"I am an ignorant sod as you have pointed out." Putting words in my mouth, are you? I did not point out in Reply #213 that you are an "ignorant sod"
"And Mr. Matchett-PI I hardly think you need to chastise so many members in a general group. If you have issues with posters, would it not be more adult to deal with them directly, not a one-size-fits-all rant!"
I did deal with you directly. I addressed my comments directly to you. They can be found at reply #213 --- rather than at reply #229 that you link readers to.
Any good reason why you linked people away from my reply and onto an unrelated one, hummmmmm????

I should have added "...abortion *on demand; and especially late-term*."
Rape, incest, *major* threats to mother's health or life, *major* birth defects I have no problem with.
Did NOT mean to imply *you* personally with the comments; it was meant as a show of support, not criticism. It was clear to me that you & I were pretty much on the same side of the fence.
"Abstinence, condom, foam, IUD, Pill, sponge, diaphragm, sterilization: How many MORE choices do you need?" is a question that my wife & I direct at rabid Liberals. Some of them, after frothing & foaming, actually begin to THINK; a very few slowly come around to a sensible position.
I, too, supported abortion without question 25 years ago...until I found the "product of an induced miscarriage" sitting in an emesis basin in a hospital utility room I was getting equipment from. About the size of a Barbie doll, and fully formed, it was the saddest, most wrenching sight of my life, and I had seen a lot by that time.
My charge nurse, in her role as patient educator, learned it was the young woman's *fifth* (state-funded) abortion in three years.
Abortion, needless to say, was her birth control method of choice. She said that She didn't use other 'artificial' birth control methods because "she didn't want to mess up her body!"

Why can't these wannabe political spouses be more like Dennis Thatcher who respectfully and rightfully demured and deferred to his wife Madame Thatcher while she ruled Britannia.
This mouthy Blair broad needs to deal with her own crap and stop meddling.

To: faithincowboys
your government clearly believes that they should be forcibly removed to assuage Arab rage.
Yes, they're wrong of course. How does the Whitehouse's position differ from Downing St's on the settlers?
To: Matchett-PI
Perhaps my "linking" post problems lie in the fact I was addressing the post 213 which had many names in the heading.
I posted a reply to you directly at the next available space.
I had no intention of "directing" people away from your original post 213.
You say you directed your reply to me, but you named many others. Why?
Enlighten me on the finer points of posting on a Free Republic form so that I don't offend.
Thanks.

As I said, she is a charming, intelligent, and pretty lady. She just happens to also be pro-choice.
Here's what she stated:

Laura Bush: Don't nix Roe v. Wade
WASHINGTON (AP) Laura Bush said Friday that while she thinks more can be done to limit the number of abortions, she does not believe the landmark Roe v. Wade pro-abortion ruling should be undone.
``No, I don't think it should be overturned," she said in response to a question in an interview broadcast on NBC's ``Today."
Her husband, President-elect Bush, said during last year's campaign that while he opposes abortion, he does not believe the nation is ready to overturn the 1973 decision, which legalized abortion nationwide. But, when asked what type of justices he would appoint to the Supreme Court, he mentioned conservative Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who would vote to overturn the ruling.
``I think that we should do what we can to limit the number of abortions .. and that's by talking about responsibility with girls and boys, by teaching abstinence, having abstinence classes everywhere in schools, in churches, in Sunday schools," Mrs. Bush said.
``I think there are a lot of ways we could reduce the number of abortions and I agree with my husband on that issue."

...and Laura Bush is heads & shoulders above the likes of Cherie Blair and any other of the assorted radical, unfeminine, socialists on the Left.

I can certainly understand your frustration, 5050. But one thing I've learned from the study of English history is that one can never, ever count the British out. The spirit of Edmund Burke and Winston Churchill lives on, even in these dark times. You yourself are proof of that.
As you may be aware, the French held a death penalty plebiscite roughly 30 years ago and the result was quite similar to yours. Naturally, their ruling elite abolished capital punishment, proving that the haughty spirit of the Bourbons lives on in the guise of socialist meddling.
It's been over 200 years since your Glorious Revolution. You may be about due for another one, this time against Parliament.
To: BushWonGore'sDone
So true. For all Tony's socialist goofiness, he has conducted himself as a true statesman in the war against islamist terrorism. God bless Tony Blair!
To: 5050 no line
That should read, "...over
300 years since your Glorious Revolution."
Mea culpa.

To: pau1f0rd
Praise God and thank you Jesus!!! Cherie Blair will not run for office! Talk about hypotheticals. Pity though. perhaps she would have re-drawn the borders of the middle east, again, and given the Palestinians a home in Jordan, as had been promised by the British in the first place! (correct me if I'm wrong on that one) Seriously, I do admire Tony Blair for standing up to his wife and doing the right thing.
One aside, if I may: since the question of abortion has been raised in this forum, is the murder of unborn babies
truly the hallmark of a civilized, sophisticated people? It seems to me that there are a number of more compassionate ways to prevent pregnancy ( I am speaking of consenting parties) in the first place, such as being responsible and accountable for one's behavior before the fact. Just a thought.
To: pau1f0rd
I tend to think Washington's position is a lot less anti-Israeli than yours.
It is the EU (and the Labour Party) that has provided cover to the terrorists in Israel. I think it would be preferable if the Euros didn't treat Arafat so well. The British Left is decidedly anti-Zionist, but not especially anti-PLO or anti-suicide bombber.
We hear about cycle of violence and ....
My point is, Mrs. Blair and the Brit Left should focus on internal troubles before they chastise this American President for signing death warrants on people who raped and killed innocent Texans.
Also, before preaching to the Israelis, resolve the conflict over North Ireland-- even if it means painful concessions and forced removal of the Protestants to England. That's reasonable, no? I just think it would be useful if there was less sanctimony.
