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!

[WVNan]

It was great creative fun wasn't it. My job was to climb up the mainsail and cry "Land Ho!" because I was afraid of water and couldn't swim, so I was always on the lookout for land. Cap'n OfMagog got fed up with my "false" alarms and put me to cleaning the bilg pump below deck.

Sistah, can you provide the link to PurpleMM of our "Meeting" in S.C. I have the thread, but I still can't make a link. Duh.

[Billie]

I forgot about St Patrick's Day!

Well, hold the wishes - that thread's coming up soon - wanted to catch up with my pings here before posting the weekend/St. Patrick's Day thread. :)

[MEG33]

I have lurked on FR since the 2000 elections..I think I got my son's and grandson's overloaded computer as a gift that fall. I had not even thought of getting a computer! I could not refuse as he drove down with it and signed me up by phone on the weekend to Earthlink..

I hardly dared to touch anything as it was my first computer experience..I signed up to FR finally when I bought a new computer in Feb of 2003 ...I learned to type again on the all night march to Baghdad threads...I just happened to see a Finest thread later on and here I am. I just had my 3rd year Anniversary on FR.

[Mama_Bear]

She and I were the only wimmin on Freeper Island, and we ruled, giving hula lessons at the Friday luaus!!

I was lurking back then, but must have been elsewhere because I missed the whole Freeper Island thing. Wish I had come across you two then. I have heard so much about your escapades on Freeper Island.

[LadyX]

A step ahead of you - go to my # 160!!
A link is already there..:))

[Billie]

Weinie

And no one looks cuter riding them. :)

[WVNan]

Ha. See? I told you, we always have the same thoughts at the same time. She provides the link before I posted my request. Downright eerie. Thanks Sistah.

[Mama_Bear]

God bless the rescuers.

Yes, indeed.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nan, you are a lovely lady with a big heart, that's what counts. Age is just a thought, so don't think about it.

[Mama_Bear]

I found FR through Drudge too! I think most of us "old-timers" did back then. :-)

[LadyX]

Way ahead of ya, Nannikins...

It has been 2 1/2 years already!!

[Billie]

Well, we're sure a bunch of old-timers, aren't we? (But none of us are quite as old as Billie.) ;-)

LOL! Only 95 Freepers *older* than I am.

Happy 3rd anniversary, Dolly. :)

[LadyX]

If Nan and I were in China, we would be referred to as
Venerable Ones, you realize, Victoria!!

[WVNan]

And we are glad you found your way here MEG.

[WVNan]

Ha. Fortunately I hardly have time to think about it.

[WVNan]

Yes, and what a shame that Drudge saw fit to remove the link because he couldn't stand the competition.

[Majie Purple]

"...You know, I remember one night when they were on The Finest late at night, bickering back and forth, egged on by deadhead, contending the other was the one "Mama loved best" when they were growing up. Referring to the fact they were born during The Depression, LadyX said, "Mama loved you best, because I got the flour sack jammies." WVNan shot back, "No way - I got the white ones with 'Martha White' stamped on them, while you got the pretty ones with flowers!" "

My that was a lovely;funny read throughout...I quote the funniest portion to me...LOL! Thanks for sharing...Thanks for the Link too!

To that LadyX said, "WELL - until I was 7, I thought your name was Martha White, and she loved you best, giving you monogrammed ones!"

[WVNan]

Wow, you are old aren't you. BTW, where does one find out what member number one is?

[Mama_Bear]

Yes, and what a shame that Drudge saw fit to remove the link because he couldn't stand the competition.

Yes, I remember that day, and a sad day it was.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh, Venerable Ones, so good to see you, too. LOL.
