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!

After a couple of weeks of pretending to care about national security, Democrats -- now that the Dubai ports deal is dead and they can't use that phony issue to impersonate real Americans -- are back to their wonderful old treasonous ways.

After the Dubai ports deal, which "Dumbya" cleverly used to divert attention from the Katrina video, which Chimpy used to divert attention from Cheney's hunting accident, which Cheney used to divert attention from the NSA spy "scandal," we're back to the NSA spy "scandal" again.

"A liberal Democrat and potential White House contender" -- Sen. Russ Feingold -- "is proposing censuring President Bush for authorizing domestic eavesdropping, saying the White House misled Americans about its legality," the AP reports.

According to libbies, a phone call by al-Qaeda from Islamabad to New York is a "domestic" call. An airline flight from Paris to New York is a "domestic" flight, following the tenets of this piercing logic. A call from the Cylons on planet New Caprica to New Jersey is domestic. So, NSA monitoring a call by bin Laden from Tehran to his home-boys in New York is called "domestic" spying and an invasion of privacy. Libbies say they want bin Laden nabbed -- just don't snoop on him.

Russ Feingold took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. DOMESTIC? Like in DOMESTIC eavesdropping? I call for Feingold's immediate censure.

The Wisconsin clown -- pandering to his party's moron base -- voted against the Patriot Act right after the 9/11 attacks. He was the only senator to do so. His censure proposal should be a real winner, too.

The censure proposal accuses Bush of violating the 1978 FISA law. Bush does this by pursuing something called Article II of the Constitution. Says something there about him being Commander-in-Chief. Feingold's proposal reads, "Resolved, that the United States Senate does hereby censure George W. Bush, president of the United States, and does condemn his unlawful authorization of wiretaps of Americans." By "Americans," liberals mean anyone on U.S. soil. Al-Qaeda operatives from Pakistan residing in New York instantly become "Americans," provided they're being "wiretapped" by Dick Cheney from his roving white van.

UAE-owned "Dubai Ports World" morphs into an innocent "American" company -- all Bush had to do is get the NSA to spy on it. Deal could've been saved. 'Resolved, the U.S. Senate hereby condemns Bu$hitler's unlawful wiretaps of innocent American companies like Dubai Ports World.'

(No matter how you slice it, though, Bush badly mishandled the whole Dubai ports issue. In every way imaginable. I'll spare you the details. All I can say is, if he keeps this up, no third term!)

"Congress has to reassert our system of government," in response to Bush's warrantless wiretaps, says Feingold, "and the cleanest and the most efficient way" to do this is to pass a warrantless censure, all in hopes Bush would come to his senses and confess he did "something wrong" by spying on al-Qaeda without a warrant.

You'd think that after al-Qaeda had savagely slaughtered 3,000 innocent Americans in cold blood, Bush would acknowledge the sacredness of search warrants! According to reports, al-Qaeda, using hijacked planes, burst into several buildings on 9/11 without search warrants.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Transylvania) calls the GOP a "culture of corruption." I think it says something that a party which, back in Clinton's days, begged the "culture of corruption" to censure and not impeach Clinton, now thinks censure is a big deal. It's a "crazy political move," said corruption culturalist Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, acting like Senate Majority Leader for the first time in months.

After all the talk of impeachment earlier this year, this whole censure business by Feingold shows that, as stupid as they are, even Democrats have figured out Bush will be President until January, 2009. Fein by me.

But! This censure bidness creates a dilemma for '08 Dems in the same way that horseface's attempt to filibuster Justice Sam AliOto created a dilemma for them. "Many analysts criticized Mr. Kerry's move as futile and unwise, but most Democrats, including Mrs. Clinton, grudgingly went along with it" (The New York Sun, 3/13/06). Most Senate Dems pretend they're undecided on censure, but forcing a floor vote will smoke them out. Can't wait.

Anyway, that's...

THIS WEEK'S THREADS 03-13-06 Military Monday 03-14-06 A Finest Pet Day ~ The Doggie Dictionary 03-15-06 Butterflies!! The "Pretty" Bugs!

Opinions by our own 'King of Ping' Every Thursday at the Finest The guy's good, folks!

[LadyX]

Sad to think of OfMagog probably sailing heavenly seas
with his wife...beyond our reach.

I have no doubt, though, he watches over us!

[Billie]

Evening, Miss Maggie - will be happy when our regular Thursday Two Cents is, well *regular* again! Hope to see John back every week again before long.

[WVNan]

I actually think I miss him more than anyone. There was something about him that I loved so much. I really liked Chief Negotiator and Cobby, but OfMagog was.......different.

[Billie]

Too cute! What a big nose, and big ears, and what big teeth!!!

[Billie]

Hi, Victoria - you were here early today, and I'm sorry I missed you.

[WVNan]

Hi Miss Billie. We are recalling past adventures on FR. BTW, it's great to have John back.

[Majie Purple]

"Well, we're sure a bunch of old-timers, aren't we?"

And here I am goin on just 3 months here so far...LOL!But what fun it has been already! I am making what will be life long friends via FR given enough time. But the life long friendship seeds are being planted; watered; and are taking root; and blossoming every day!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hey Billie. No problem - better late than never. :-)

[WVNan]

You can bank on that PMM. You will make friends who will "connect" with you and become closer than any friends you have ever had before. My Sistah Maggie is one great example of that. We both grew up in the deep South at the same time. We share common memories and can finish each other's sentences. She is a spiritual sister, much closer than my real sister. Did you read the thread about our meeting in S.C.?

[WVNan]

Hi Victoria. Hope you are well. I've been pretty much AWOL lately. Much too busy a life for one so old.

[Victoria Delsoul]

So good to see you, Nan. Hey, you aren't old, don't say that.

Hugs!!!

[Billie]

Hi, Miss Kitty. Thank you! I've had that picture in my files since someone posted it on FR shortly after 9/11 - seemed like a good time to bring it out again. :)

[Majie Purple]

"Did you read the thread about our meeting in S.C.?"

Don't remember ever coming across that yet. May I have a link? If that's not a difficult request to answer that is...easy for you to locate I mean...

[Billie]

Am so ready to buy geraniums for my flower pots at the front door and in the courtyard!

[LadyX]

You came aboard fairly late in the ogoing saga, Nan.
It had begun about 2 years before, on a day when I posted something, and out of the blue, he (then a stranger) replied to me from aboard the Mobius off New Zealand...dangled a "bit of suggestive bait," and I responded in kind...:))

We made everything up as it went along, sparking back and forth...I recruited some of the fellas to man a vessel to sail me down there to rendezvous with him...while I napped, the man at the wheel accidentally turned left into the Panama Canal, with me waking as we approached the Azores...and we went into the Mediterranean Sea and then Suez Canal, etc., with lots of misadventures along the way!

It was hilarious creative fun...

[WVNan]

LOL. You know, when you are 30, 40 is old. When you are 40, 50 is old. When you are 50, 60 is old. When you are 60, 70 is old. When you are 70, you are old, and I'm two years past old.

[Billie]

Thank you, finest fox. Always happy to see you've been here.

[Majie Purple]

HAhahaha! Love your response about your age!

[Billie]

sorry, billie...think I huffed and puffed too hard in my # 63, and blew away most of The Finest Posters..:(

Looks like they've picked themselves up out of the dirt and came back this evening. :)

[LadyX]
