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!

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...

My two cents

This cat is already 'out of the bag' and he's for Dubya!

I don't have any cats in bags, but I do have a couple in boxes ;^)

You shouldn't worry about the Heinz products- TerAYsa position is with the Heinz Foundations, not the company itself. The Heinz company executive people donate Republican for the most part.

Sneakers here is a W supporter

Sorry folks for not being around, I have been over here at this thread..
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1293125/posts

It hit AP News, Buff News and ABC is on the telephone with Jul.
This could get interesting. : )

[The Mayor]

I think I missed something, I'm sorry..

Kitties surely do love boxes -- and Sneakers is a great name for a kitty!!

[visualops]

Funny story about Sneakers-
I got him to "replace" my hubby's dearly departed 16 yr old cat "BooBoo". I found him thru an ad, "9 yr old neutered declawed cat". I called, and asked why was he getting the boot- his owner has cancer and is in chemo, and can't have any pets. I felt so bad, and knew no-one wants an old cat. I thought the guy had said "Sneakers", but it turns out the cat's real name was "Stinkers" LOL. Apparently he had a...gas problem as a kitten lol!!
Anyway, we kept calling him Sneakers- he can't tell the difference, and thankfully, does not have a gas problem! LOL!
Believe it or not, he has lost a few pounds, he was truly one fat cat!

[Aquamarine]

Just took a look at your link and it's a disgrace what happened to your wife. You all need to move on down to Bush Country, I've never seen the people in my community so slap happy since our President won his second term last month. You guys are just too good for the blue zone!

[LadyX]

We cat lovers are suckers for sad stories...my niece had a neutered, declawed 2-year old cat, but she became highly allergic to cats and had to find a new home for him.

Yep - Aunt Margaret stepped up to the plate, getting one 99% black, medium-long haired, naturally SHORT-TAILED kitty... my nephew had two cats who produced half the cat population of them in Summerton..:))

He is a precious one, now 7 1/2 years old, and has us well trained.
So he could see outside and hear and smell things and watch the world go by, we screened in the carport for him, there being a double concrete drive beside it to park the car.

[visualops]

we screened in the carport for him

You are well-trained!

I must be off to bed- good night! You are good company :)

[LadyX]

Night, v --- suppose we will be counting kitties to get to sleep tonight instead of sheep..:))

Veteran's Oral History Project

The Veteran's Oral History Project is one small way that I can say "THANK YOU" to the men & women of the military who have dedicated their lives and make daily sacrifices to secure our great country.

If you are a Veteran, I would love to speak with you!

[Kitty Mittens]

Great Thread and Essay, Dansy and John Huang! Thank You!

[Kitty Mittens]

I found a Picture that Reminds me of you, dear Maggie. It is so Beautiful, just like your God-Blessed Soul.

[WVNan]

You didn't miss a thing Rus. In fact you are the first to wish me a happy birthday (even before my birthday), thank you. BTW, who let the cat out of the bag? (Sorry about Jul's job. Bummer).

[WVNan]

Yeah, I know......it's very late. I must go to bed. Have to paint the living room today.
