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...

Great essay and illustrations!

What would we do if we didn't have dem donkey's to keep us entertained? :)

[Aquamarine]

Hi snugs, it's always good to see ya.

Congrats on your 25 years of work. That's quite an accomplishment.

[Billie]

GREAT photo of the Senator from Wisconsin. Should be place on his website and in his future campaign brochures.

Hi, Dave. We can always count on John to make us smile LAUGH!!!

I like that first pic of Feingold, but when John called him a clown, couldn't resist adding a clown hat and nose to one of his other pictures. :)

[Billie]

Morning, 'nad. I can't remember where I got that swing set graphic - on FR somewhere I'm pretty sure - right after 9/11, and last night I ran across it in my files again. Thought it would make a nice pledge graphic for John's essay today. :)

[Billie]

"Nancy Pelosi (D-Transylvania)"

Good one! The swing set is another good one. When I get insomnia, I can always find good stuff on FR.

John is the *best*, isn't he!

[Billie]

Good morning lovely lady. I really like that swing set. Can I appropriate it? I'll give credit where credit is due.

Good morning to you, kind sir. :)

Please be my guest - I am sure I appropriated the swing set from someone else at FR a few years ago - I just added the pledge and the edge. No need to credit me. :)

[Billie]

Good morning! I love your picture, snugs! And congratulations on your 25th year anniversary this month!

[Billie]

Hello Dolly. Thank you for the reminder to check the toons thread for illustrations for today's essay. Thank you, pookie - am sure you recognize the opening cartoon! :)

[Billie]

Excellent!

They are stuck on stupid!

They are, aren't they? And they don't even have a clue how ridiculous they are.

[Billie]

Thanks, Diva. Nice to see you here today. :)

[Billie]

O B swing set...good one!

Hi, Majjie. Somebody was very clever when they put that sign and swing set up right after 9/11 for sure!

[Billie]

Good morning, Gee Bee. Good to see your smiling face - miss you!

[Billie]

Good morning, Aqua. Thank you - hope you know how much I appreciate you and dutchess whenever I start to find the illustrations for John's Two Cents!

[pookie18]

Thank you for the reminder to check the toons thread for illustrations for today's essay. Thank you, pookie - am sure you recognize the opening cartoon! :)

Yup, that would be the Dim donkey going barrel fishing...kinda...

[dutchess]

Excellent job!!!! Kudo's to both of you! Billie, LOVE the Feingold "touch up" (that's why you're the pro!) and the pledge is just icing on the cake :o)!

John, great to have you back! We've missed you!

Great job, you two! Two thumbs up for two of my favorite people!

[Billie]

I love that one! This one is also hilarious and would have worked with John's essay but didn't want to use another one so close to the opening cartoon. :)

[Billie]

LOVE the Feingold "touch up" (that's why you're the pro!) and the pledge is just icing on the cake :o)!

:) Thanks, dutchess! As I told Aqua, I REALLLLLLY appreciate you two when *I* start looking for pictures to illustrate these. :)

[Billie]

Hugs, Mz Bear, and thank you!
