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!

New Doubts on Media's Plan to Ruin Bush Second Term

by JohnHuang2


Did you see the graphic images? No, it wasn't torture, but it came close. Again and again, the interrogators tried to humiliate the detainee, who was forced to sit in stressful positions. The sessions dragged on for hours. They tried roughing up the detainee. They tried waterboarding, but the captive still refused to give up valuable intel. It got so bad, at one point, one of the interrogators was ready to break a chair over the detainee! But enough about the Condi Rice Senate hearings. Democrats demanded two full days of hearings, to give everyone ample opportunity to beat up the black chick. It's part of the Democrats' new "Southern Strategy."


"We must use American diplomacy to help create a balance of power in the world that favors freedom," Dr. Rice told the committee in opening remarks. Democrats seemed shocked that a nation's top diplomat would pursue diplomacy.
Dr. Rice recounted how she "grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, the old Birmingham of Bull Connor and church bombings and voter intimidation." (Robert Byrd objected saying, 'Hey, I resemble that remark!')

"America and the free world are," noted Rice, "once again engaged in a long-term struggle against an ideology of hatred and tyranny and terror and hopelessness." Then I realized she meant Islamism, not liberalism.
Dr. Rice made it clear that she doesn't see the War on Terror as a limited engagement, but the defining struggle of our time. Democrats say that's a lot of malarkey -- the defining struggle of our time is . . . Halliburton. Wiping away a tear, Barbara Boxer demanded a timetable for U.S. evacuation of Iraq (I was wondering when we'd hear from Saddam's spokes-hag). Boxer accused Rice of lacking integrity, pounding the table with a fistful of rubber checks from the House bank. "It's hard for me to let go of this war" because you've "not laid out an exit strategy" and "you've not set up a timetable," screamed Boxer, who's racked up 15 billion frequent flyer miles as a space cadet.


Dr. Rice will be the first black woman to be Secretary of State, thanks to these racist Republicans. Dems say they admire her personal story. They just don't admire her. Showing Democrats aren't just some One-Issue party, the opening hours of the confirmation hearing were all about Iraq. The closing hours were all about Iraq. And of how lousy reconstruction is going, the cheery fellas. Things are so bad, say Dems, that if you gauge, say, electrical output in Baghdad, the readout shows only miniscule output. (Hello? That's an EEG hooked to Boxer's brain.)


Dr. Rice is the latest "controversial" nominee -- "controversial" means she disagrees politically with those labeling her "controversial" -- for Bush's second term.


Speaking of which, if you've been reading the newspapers -- the same newspapers whose keen insight amazingly led them to predict Bush was a sure One-Termer -- you'd know Bush has pretty much screwed up his second term. Bush had not yet finished his first term, so it wasn't too early to recount just how Bush screwed up his second term in elaborate detail. In the weeks leading up to Bush's second inaugural -- typically the Honeymoon period -- the media, showing their penchant for fairness, were awash with Honeymoon headlines like, Second Term, Seldom a Charm and Iraq exit uncertain and National Fissure Remains Deep and Wide and Bush gives no date for troops' return and 6 Bush Scandals To Come and Bush will pull troops 'as quickly as possible'. Even DUers, noticing that Bush wasn't heeding their calls to concede to Kerry, had figured out that a Kerry inaugural this Thursday wasn't in the cards, so they hopped on the BUSH-SECOND-TERM-DOOMED! media bandwagon.

Yet, the fact remained that Bush would be sworn in on Thursday, and there was nothing Democrats could do to stop it. Dems, after weeks of mapping out new strategy -- recheck Bush's Alabama dental records, trip up that black chick Condi, torture Alberto Gonzalez, capture Rummy and Autopen, put Teddy Kennedy on TV, keep recounting votes in Ohio, launch the Boxer Rebellion, block inaugural prayer -- still can't seem to connect. Beating up blacks and Latinos in Senate hearings probably shored up their base, but not much else. On top of that, a pre-inaugural TIME poll showed Bush's job rating surged to 53 percent after puppy Miss Beazley moved into the White House.


Overseas, in Iraq, the offices of a leading Shiite party was car bombed and gunmen killed three candidates and a Sunni group with ties to al-Qaeda killed a key U.S. ally and "insurgents" fired rockets against targets in Baghdad and 28 Iraqi prisoners escaped during transfer -- so the news wasn't all bad for Democrats. And threats by al-Qaeda to redouble their Jihad in Iraq gave Democrats something to cheer about. Yet, despite the heartening news from Baghdad for Teddy Kennedy and Co., it was Bush, rather than a Democrat, being sworn in this week.
Then, on Monday, appeared another cruel reminder of why Kerry lost and Bush won. The reminder was Kerry, who blasted the election outcome and said he'd not challenge the election outcome. Chomping on sour grapes and chanting We Shall Overcome, he complained that thousands of people were "suppressed" from voting, "voting machines were distributed in uneven ways," people had to stand in long lines, names were purged from voting lists -- voting irregularities all over the place. But enough about Washington State. (Actually, Horseface was talking about Ohio. Kerry ran for president of Ohio and lost.) Back from goose-hunting in France, Kerry blasted Bush's Iraq plan, which includes bringing elections to Iraq and noted in Boston that a nation willing to bring elections to Iraq "cannot tolerate" being "denied" the democracy we're bringing to Iraq. In other words, the bed-wetter says Bush's Iraq election plan is no good and what this country needs is to import Bush's Iraq election plan.

Kerry popped up at Rice's Senate hearing Tuesday. His colleagues looked stunned. Kerry, attending a Senate hearing? He'd not been seen at one of these in many wives. Anyway, after bleating on and on about Iraq in a "statement" stretching halfway into Bush's second term, he turns to Chairman Lugar, and asks, 'May I respond to what I just said?' (OK, just kidding. ;-)






But here's something I ain't kidding about: Thank God for Four More Years of George W. Bush!


Anyway, that's...

My two cents

Have you noticed the large number of stories about how ineffective Presidents are in their second term. Unfortunately for these wishful thinkers, the GOP controls both Houses of Congress and there is no looming scandal.

Good Morning (((((Always Right)))))

In addition, the president has expressed a strong agenda for his second term. I believe he will make good on it, too.

Let the naysayers beware!

If

Read: John 13:1-17

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. —John 13:17

Bible In One Year: Exodus 14-17


A new government regulation will require US foodmakers to list the amount of "trans fat" on the labels of most food products purchased in stores. Trans fat, which has been linked to heart disease, high cholesterol, and obesity, is something most people should limit or avoid altogether. The Food and Drug Administration estimates that Americans could save up to $1.8 billion in medical costs if they reduce their consumption of trans fats.

The key word is if—a reminder that the new labeling information will benefit only those who change their eating habits. It's not what we know but what we do that counts.

After Jesus washed His disciples' feet and told them to follow His example in serving each other, He told them: "A servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them" (John 13:16-17).

In the Bible, we learn what God wants us to do. Obedience moves that knowledge from our heads to our hands in serving others. And not only that—we ourselves are blessed when we obey what God's Word tells us to do. But it all depends on one little word—if. —David McCasland

The blessings of the Lord are known
By those who will obey;
His wisdom, truth, and love are shown
To all who choose His way. —D. De Haan

The way of obedience is the way of blessing.

It's hard to miss, Always Right! How quickly they forget the abject personal and professional failures of their man Clinton in his last term.

This was a great piece JH2! I think we need to promote you to JH10......
