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!

Beep-Beep! Wile E. Coyote Dems can't catch Rove-Runner

by JohnHuang2

Rep. Jane Harman told Fox News Sunday that the "White House seems to be hunkering down," but this Valerie Plame "story is absolutely killing the President." Sandy Bergergate is nothing compared to Nothingburgergate. So badly has this story been killing the President, on Sunday his approval rate was killed back up to 51% (Rasmussen Poll), a nice bump-up since July 1, when nutcase Larry O'Donnell dropped to his knees for some mouth-to-mouth on this dead horse after flogging it for two years.

The media promised this "scandal" would be 'Bush's Watergate' by Sunday. It was. For a few hours. Matt Cooper of TIME told Tim Russert Sunday that Rove, at the end of their conversation, remarked, "I've already said too much." (And if you don't believe Mandy Grunwald's husband, who will you believe?!?!) Yaaaaaaaaawn. The next day, it was 'Bush's Watergate' again. For one day. Bush in a presser vowed to 'fire anyone who broke the law.' The press wants Bush to say, 'I will fire everyone who didn't break the law!' Then only Clinton holdovers will be left.

But by Tuesday, 'Bush's Watergate' was strapped to a gurney on the way to the hospital. So sad. Fact is, by Friday, there were signs 'Bush's Watergate' was already in trouble. The New York Times revealed on Friday that it had uncovered the leaker, and the leaker was . . . the media. The media was Rove's super-secret source. Quoting someone "officially briefed on the matter," the Times reported that Rove had testified that he learned the name Valerie Plame from columnist Robert Novak. Before Novak contacted Rove, Novak already knew Plame's ID, her work at CIA, and how she sent her husband Joe Wilson to Niger to probe WMDs in Iraq. So obviously Rove's the leaker! Must've had tiny neocons secretly crawl through tubelike passages known as Novak's ear canals to plant that 'CIA Secrets' chip in his brain while he slept or something. Very clever.

So, the great Karl Rove conspiracy amounts to (a) Rove's phone ringing (b) Rove picking up the phone (c) Rove telling Novak, "I heard that, too" regarding nepotism at CIA -- Valerie hiring Joe. (As if marriage had anything to do with it!) According to the moron media in Washington, "I heard that, too" equals confirmation. You get a phone call: 'Did you hear Bush may pick Edith Clement?' If you say, 'Yeah, I heard that, too,' you've just confirmed it! How's that Clement nomination going?

Novak says he contacted two Administration 'sources.' One of them was Rove. The other was Novak's source -- the real "leaker." Who "leaked" to Novak? Well, when you want the names of world-famous secret CIA operatives like Valerie Plame, where do you turn to (besides Google)? You call your friendly CIA. That's what Novak did. Vanity Fair, in a profile of Joe Wilson and wife Valerie, published in January, 2004, reported that "Wilson was caught off guard when around July 9 he received a phone call from Robert Novak who, according to Wilson, said he'd been told by a CIA source that Wilson's wife worked for the agency" (Source: Jack Kelly).

(Novak's source even disclosed that Plame spent Christmas 1968 in Cambodia!)

So, a CIA source, not a White House source, 'outed' Valerie Plame. This 'outing' happened almost a decade after a Moscow spy 'outed' Plame, and several years after CIA documents in Cuba 'outed' Plame, and 4 years after Plame's Gore campaign donations 'outed' Plame, and just before David Corn 'outed' Plame. Corn, not Novak, was the first "journalist" to 'out' Plame as a 'spy.' Corn's source was Joe Wilson.

Joe Wilson. The same nutcase who claimed Bush lied to his '03 State of the Union Address. The same wacko who:

*Lied to his op-ed in the New York Times, claiming Cheney sent him on his African junket.

*Lied to his book, claiming his wife did not send him on his African junket.
br> *Lied to his own findings, which a Senate committee said strengthened the case that Saddam sought uranium from Niger.

*Lied to his reporters at the Washington Post about documents he didn't have access to.

So, Joe Wilson 'outing' his wife+leaking classified material+lying under oath+lying about documents+lying about Cheney+getting wife to pose for Vanity Fair=Rove's guilty!

Joe Wilson was so upset about those "16 words" in Bush's '03 State of the Union speech, that right afterward he wrote a piece for the LA Times and forgot to mention them.

Incidentally, here's how hard it is to break the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, which is the basis for the grand jury probe. Section 421 reads (Warning: Libbies will have difficultly, since it's not in crayon):

"Whoever, having or having had authorized access to classified information that identifies a covert agent, intentionally discloses any information identifying such covert agent to any individual not authorized to receive classified information, knowing that the information disclosed so identifies such covert agent and that the United States is taking affirmative measures to conceal such covert agent's intelligence relationship to the United States," then and only then shall the violator "be fined not more than $50,000, or imprisoned no more than ten years, or both."

In other words, to be in violation, the leaker must want to harm the U.S. -- do so intentionally. You have to be a traitor who hates this country. In other words, a Philip Agee. An Aldrich Ames. In other words, a liberal. Like Joe Wilson.

Must you appear on the cover of Vanity Fair to be a covert agent? No. A 'covert' agent is an "officer or employee who is serving outside the United States or has within the last five years served outside the United States" -- Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, Title 50.

Valerie Plame was no covert agent. Since CIA desk jockey losers do no work, there was no work to 'expose.' In short, no case. These poor, poor, Wile E. Coyote Dems. Still can't catch Rove-Runner!

Anyway that's...

The Day The Sun Didn't Shine

Read:
Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. —Psalm 103:2

Bible In One Year: Isaiah 64-66

We often take God's blessings for granted until they are taken from us. Then we recognize how important even the most common gifts of God really are.

There's a legend about a day the sun didn't rise. At 6:00 in the morning it was dark. At 7:00 it was still night. Noon came and it was like midnight. By 4:00 in the afternoon, people flocked to the churches to beg God for the sun.

The next morning, huge crowds gathered outdoors to face the eastern sky. When the first rays of sunlight pushed open the door of the morning, the people burst into cheers and praised God for the sun.

The psalmist knew he couldn't possibly remember all of God's benefits to him. He was distressed that he might forget them all, so he took his sluggish soul in hand, shook it, and urged it to consider at least some of the good gifts God gave to him.

Because God's goodness is as constant as the sun, we are in danger of forgetting what He showers on us each day. If we count our blessings one by one, we'll never get finished. But if we jot down a list of 10 or 20 gifts God gives us each day, something will happen to our hearts.

Let's try it and find out for ourselves. —Haddon Robinson

Every morning as we rise,
God's new mercies greet our eyes;
And when twilight shadows fall,
Evening blessings brighten all. —Anon.

If you want to be rich, count all the things you have that money can't buy.

Good morning dear Sistah.. my goodness you were up with the birdies (or late with owls?) to post this. But great job. I have a hard time (as you all know) with the associated graphics and yours are great. Outstanding job indeed !!!! and John's essay is as usual humorous. I had not read it when it "arrived" and so it is fresh now. Thanks to both of you.

I will be seeing Amy/Marissa today if all goes well. I understand you might see them again Sat before they leave. If I didn't have plans for Sat in Columbus, I would join you also.. Maybe it would work out.. might just see if I can juggle a few things around.

[DollyCali]

good morning to you all also (more early birds). The hot miserable days here in Ohio are now cooler, drier. The major storms did bring this one gift. Hope you are all doing well. It is funny how we are here at different times but are all together in the spirit of the threads content, friendship & sharing.

Some at this thread I have met & visualize. Others I have not met & without pix, I have a mental image.

Interesting how that works. Usually when I finally meet the person, the image was not too accurate.

Well, better get busy. lots on agenda for today

[The Mayor]

Morning Dolly, it cool here today too. Rained the majority of the day yesterday.
Your weather comes toward us so I can appreciate the cooler weather like you.

[DollyCali]

that is neat (did you do it ? or "find" it?)... I still can't do the head switching for pix... skill to achieve.

[DollyCali]

This about covers it

[Zacs Mom]

"(did you do it ? or "find" it?)"

that is is one of mine ~ I did it a few days ago when someone post a thread likened Rove and the cRATS with the Road Runner & Wily Coyote.

"I still can't do the head switching for pix... skill to achieve."

it takes some pactice figuring out how to move those little pixels just right ~ I've found the more I try it the easier it becomes.

[Lakeside]

Good morning all you Finest!

[Gabz]

Good morning.........my head is spinning.......LOL!!!

[dutchess]

What a great graphic! Now I know "who to call" when I'm doing an essay (IF you don't mind :o) ) Yours is PERFECT! Thanks for posting it!

[dutchess]

Good morning Gail. Hope all is well with you!

[dutchess]

Hi Rus. Great devotional again today. Hows the campaign going and when is the election???

[dutchess]

Good morning dear Sistah.. my goodness you were up with the birdies (or late with owls?) to post this.

Hi Dolly. Actually ran into some glitches and went to bed, then got up about 3:00 to finish up so I could go back to bed before work! (gosh that sounds like something Dolly would do :o) !)

Enjoy your visit with Amy and Marissa today. That would be great if you could join us in Columbus Sat!

[Gabz]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

[DollyCali]

got this in a morning golden tidbit..

"An army of sheep led by a lion
will defeat an army of lions led
by a sheep."
