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!

Oh, how I love this story!
by JohnHuang2

Protesters say the election was unfair and demand that it be overturned, warning authorities not to certify a winner until a full probe of how the wrong man won is complete, vowing to keep protesting the results until the results are reversed and their man is declared the winner by court order. But enough about Ohio. (In fairness, there was some voter intimidation. Chilling footage showed punching and kicking of voters, but it was just a Pistons-Pacers brawl.)

A month after their defeat at the polls, distraught Kerry supporters say everyone has this election all wrong. Kerry conceded defeat and Kerry supporters insist that Kerry won. (Bush stole another election! What an idiot!) So even the deep-fried Boston turkey has this election all wrong . . . no, no, no, say DemocraticUndiegrounders -- not the case at all. Kerry's just being coy, secretly writing his inaugural address and picking his Cabinet. (That's why Dan Rather's leaving CBS -- to be Kerry's spokesman. Oh wait -- he's already that.)

So when Kerry last week blamed the Osama videotape for his defeat, the president-elect was just being shrewd and cunning. It was an artful maneuver. Wouldn't want to let the cat out of the bag -- not yet. Same thing when he filed paperwork to run again for his seat in '08. (Boy, talk about being crafty and clever!) Conceding defeat was all part of Kerry's Master Plan for winning. Because, except for 136,000 mistakes in vote-counting, Kerry knows he won Ohio. (It's called losing an election in order to win it.) In fact, the 'mistakes' in counting weren't really 'mistakes' but outright theft by Bush; the machines were crooked or were partisan or were hacked by Karl Rove working from the White House basement. It's one of these. Or maybe faulty records were involved, or faulty registration. Or perhaps faulty machines were involved. (I say a faulty candidate was involved.) To the DemocraticUndies, who are booking hotel reservations in D.C. for the Kerry inaugural (hey, what'cha gonna wear?), the question no longer is, 'Did Kerry Win?' but, 'Will Bush bow out gracefully?'

Asked the other day on CNN if Bush "won fair and square," Jesse Jackson said yes. Now Jackson says he disagrees with Jackson, saying Bush stole the election. (Besides, Bush's 136,000-vote margin means it's too close-to-call -- a real cliffhanger!) No way could Kerry have lost this election. Not after his swift and forceful response to 9/11, which was to go after . . . Halliburton. Jackson, repulsed by the idea of Supreme Courts overturning election results, urged Ohio's Supreme Court to overturn the election results. (A group called Alliance for Democracy, which believes deeply that elections are way too important to leave to voters, is filing a "contest of election" to have Kerry declared the winner. Who said this group is partisan?) There were even lines of voters at many polling places, proving voter disenfranchisement. (Ask holiday shoppers what that feels like.) Challenging election results weeks after the elections is Jackson's noble idea of bringing America together, in contrast to Bush, that despicable divider (and desperate publicity hound). It's all part of the Holiday Spirit. "We can live with winning and losing," intoned Jackson, who traveled to Ohio to 'mobilize' concerned citizens, whose ranks have doubled in just the past 3 days (from 4 to 8). "We cannot live with fraud and stealing," Jackson added. (The notion that anyone would stoop to steal an election had Democrats in Chicago fainting in disbelief.)

Jackson tells the Cincinnati Post he's trying to organize "a kind of statewide sharing of (Election-Day) experiences." How viciously did Karl Rove physically beat you? In your precinct, how many voting machines did Dick Cheney remove and was Ed Gillespie driving the U-Haul truck?

Except for Keith Olbermann, Air America and Al-Jazeera, the media isn't touching this 'MORON-BUSH-STOLE-THE-ELECTION!' conspiracy stuff with a ten-foot exit poll. The AP reports that Bush currently leads in Ohio (he's doing really well in Ohio!) and appears on track to win a second term, though we'll know more as soon as the polls close. (Once Keith Olbermann figures out that Bush won, he'll wonder: Is a Cabinet shakeup in the works? Maybe somebody will resign!)

But it isn't just Ohio. There was a conspiracy against John Kerry in Florida, too. DUers et al focused on three north Florida counties: Lafayette, Suwannee, and Union -- all three heavily Democratic and all three heavily went for Bush on Nov. 2. All three heavily went for Bush four years ago, and heavily for Dole 8 years ago, and heavily for Bush (41) 12 years ago, and heavily for Bush (41) 16 years ago, and heavily for Reagan 20 years ago. So, given that these three counties have always voted Republican, why would they suddenly vote Republican this time? It seemed really, really fishy to DUers. Even Striking. (Keith Olbermann hasn't recovered from the shock.) These counties are rural, people there own guns, oppose gay marriage and are mainly fundamentalist Christians -- natural fans of Massachusetts liberals, no doubt. But Bush won all three counties, so Bush must've cheated. The Texas Warmonger's "vote tallies, especially in the key state of Florida, are so statistically stunning that they border on the unbelievable," declared one DUer-esque conspiracist.

So, the Miami Herald newspaper went there to find out. After examining thousands of optical scan ballots from all three counties, the paper said its review "showed just what officials reported: The counties' voters did on Election Day as they often do, voting for a Republican for president."

"In Union County, where more than 75 percent of voters register as Democrats, The Herald counted 3,393 votes for" the Texas Warmonger, 1,272 for the Wind-surfer -- almost matching the official tally. Same thing with Suwannee County: 6,140 voters wanted four more years of being hated by the French; only 2,984 wanted the French-looking guy. Lafayette County? The tally there was 2,452 votes for Bush, 848 for Kerry.

Nope, not even the media is buying the DemoUndie conspiracy. Poor, poor DU and all the crazies. So, on January 20th, I guess it'll be back to the psychiatrist couch for them. So sad.

Gosh, how I love this story!

Anyway, that's...

Hi (((((Dolly))))))

Sounds like you have been *busy* and will remain so in the upcoming days.

No jobs yet, but we're still plugging away.

Can't say I'm a movie fan. .45MAN and I have boycotted hollyweird since election 2000. No going to the theaters and no renting of movies. The only exception was to see "The Passion" three times in a theater and buying the DVD (and a DVD player, which we didn't own, just for this one movie). When the know-nothing-about-real-life blowhards stop telling me how to live my life, I may just start supporting their industry once again.

Just met another FReeper, jellybean, on another thread who said she has boycotted hollyweird for 25 years - now that's a goal I can only *hope* to aspire to.

[Billie]

Gosh, I love this thread! :) And I love you, too!

You did it again, John. And, Dansy girl, the illustrations are fantastic! What a great team John has in you and Aqua and Dutchess!

[dansangel]

Thank you (((((Billie))))))

John's essays make my job easy!

[Pippin]

Good afternoon, Billie!

[jwfiv]

Thank you, MIss Dansy, for such a grand start to a beautiful day.

Thank you, JH2, for the pearls you drop so gracefully.

I'm still savoring the exerience of our Dubya's victory over homo dododemocraticus, that soon to be extent species of human that never did have a clue.

Wishing our Hostesses and all the Finest a very fine day.

[dansangel]

(((((((Johnny Fox)))))))))

Have a splendid day!

[Pippin]

Das Fuchs!

[Aquamarine]

Read John's essay yesterday in my FReepmail and knew it was another great one but your presentation made it even better Dansy.
Congrats to both of you on a job well done!

These Flamingo's are just too cute. :)

[dansangel]

Thank you ((((((Aqua)))))) - you always have the nicest things to say.

Billie is responsible for the beautiful flamingo welcome - she made it when I did the pink flamingos thread earlier this year.

I've got this thing for pink flamingos (keep bugging .45MAN to come up with a business we can start using pink flamingos) and I *love* it!

[deadhead]

Kerry supporters are delusional. Sad indeed, very sad...

Great work JH2 and dansangel!

[dansangel]

((((((Colleen)))))))

Yes, they *are* delusional and I don't really think much is going to change that, unfortunately. As long as they keep buying into their party's and the MSM's kool-aid, nothing will change.

I thank God I got some sense before it was too late for me.

Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you so much for sharing those striking pictures with us.

Joining you in my daily thoughts and prayers for our military.

Dansy: I love your pledge graphic using the GOP Float from the Sun Fiesta Parade in Venice, FL.

As you know the photo was taken by Freeper Joe Brower.
I made several of the posters including the 'Have You Forgotten' one of the WTC in flames.

Local campaign volunteers waved many of the posters from this float during several Bush/Cheney street rallies leading up to election day.

JH2: Gosh, I love that story, too!

When will those Sore Losermen SHUT UP and admit that they were REJECTED AND NOT ELECTED?

[dansangel]

(((((Julie))))))

You and Joe Brower and all the other FL FReepers ***ROCK***!

Hope to be able to FReep with you over on the Gulf side someday soon.

Calling it a day - it's been a long one. G'Night!

[JulieRNR21]

Hope to be able to FReep with you over on the Gulf side someday soon.

That would be great......hope we get to meet & FReep one of these days!

My Dear John,

" It was an artful maneuver. Wouldn't want to let the cat out of the bag -- not yet. "

All right, already -- we hear ya --

"Standin' by, waitin' for your word."

======================

Have them all lined up for you to release -- just say the word, JH.

In the meantime, I looked around the Finest Family Room
and saw a few other 'cats' with sumpin' to say,
still basking in the glow of post election euphoria.....

First in view was Pippin:
"This is my face when I'm in my cubicle
and my co-workers can't see me!"

In the corner, MEG33 quietly said:
"I'm so happy all I can do is lie here and purr..:))"

Here's Aeronaut, who flies and guards our Northern Border.
He sez:
"Way up north, lovin' our "W Win!"

Miss Kitty Mittens was next:
"See? I'm still jumpin' for joy!!"

The Thin Man was heard to say:
"I'm plumb tickled!"
(but do these stripes make me look fat?(

Last, but never least, is The Mayor:
"Sure makes me happy, knowin' how relieved
our troops are to have GWB still C-in-C!"

===============================

The only unhappy cat I could find was this one -- !!!

Lemme know when to let the cats outta their bags, JH --
