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!

Democrats: Time's running out to lose!

Regarding Iran, this from the AP:

President Bush told Iran on Monday that nations worldwide won't back down from their demand that Tehran suspend uranium enrichment.

"Iran's leaders have a clear choice. We hope they will accept our offer and voluntarily suspend these activities so we can work out an agreement that will bring Iran real benefits," Bush said a day before leaving for Vienna, Austria, where he will talk with European Union officials who are leading efforts to resolve the nuclear dispute.

"If Iran's leaders reject the offer, they will face action before the U.N. Security Council and progressively stronger political and economic sanctions," Bush said during a commencement speech at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Regarding North Korea, this from another AP dispatch:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned North Korea on Monday it will face consequences if it test-fires a missile thought to be powerful enough to reach the West Coast of the United States.

"It would be a very serious matter and, indeed, provocative act should North Korea decide to launch that missile," Rice said amid indications that the North Koreans could launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at any moment.

Regarding Iraq, yet another AP dispatch said this:

The U.S. military fired on suspected militants from an AC-130 gunship above the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi on Monday while hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi troops punched into an eastern section of the violent city.

The military drive was the latest step by the combined force to strengthen its presence in the neighborhoods that have been no-go zones controlled by the Sunni-led insurgency.

Now, let's turn to another trouble spot -- the Democrat Party. While the U.S. is on offense in Iraq, Iran and North Korea -- the latter two still dues-paying members of the Axis of Evil -- top Democrats in Washington are trying as hard as they can to erase any doubt that their party is the underbelly of America. This should play well in November.

Last week the Democrats had their butts handed to them when the House and Senate soundly rejected Democrat plans for surrendering in Iraq, so Democrats are back for more -- offering another cut-and-run plan. It's almost a cut-and-paste of last week's cut-and-run plan.

Commanders on the ground should determine troop levels unless commanders on the ground disagree with Commander Carl Levin, who's proposing a 6-month timetable to begin a "phased" "redeployment" out of Iraq. Democrats insist this plan is not based on timetables. Withdrawal must begin in 6 months. Which is not a timetable. It's a calendar-table.

Democrats insist it's not a withdrawal plan. It's a "redeployment" plan -- redeploying U.S. forces in Iraq to that major terror hotspot, Okinawa. To teach al-Qaeda a lesson, we could stage a D-Day-like invasion -- storming the beaches of Aruba.

The Democrat principle for deploying troops is simple. If there's violence, we redeploy. Out. If there's peace, we don't redeploy. We stay -- as long as we're not needed, and not a day longer.

Iraq has had three free elections with higher turnout than in America, Saddam's headed for death row, Iraqi forces are kicking Islamist butt and Zarqawi's gone, so time's running out for America to surrender.

Hillary, eying an '08 run, is seeking the "middle ground." She's trying to figure out how to surrender to both sides.

Kerry, eying an '08 run, tried last week to out cut-and-run the cut-and-runners. His proposal called for all U.S. troops to swiftboat out of Iraq by year's end. The proposal swept to defeat -- getting 6 votes. Now horseface says he changed his mind. He's pushing another date for pushing troops out of Iraq: July 1, 2007. 12:01 a.m. EDT. Five-minute grace period being considered.

For months, libbies thought taking back Congress and sending Bush and Cheney to Leavenworth in leg irons and making Nancy Pelosi president was in the bag. Then came a tragic turn of events. Zarqawi croaked. Stockpiles of ethical lapses were found hiding in a Democrat's freezer. Right next to Harry Reid's boxing tickets. Rove is cleared of involvement in the Great Blizzard of 1888. Bu$Halliburton flies to Baghdad to drill for more oil and meet with Carlyle Group/Skull & Bones/PNAC 'Joooos' to plot more 'illegal invasions.'

Amid the pervasive gloom of good news, the only glimmer of hope for Democrats were reports in recent days of two U.S. soldiers kidnapped and murdered by Cindy Sheehan's "freedom fighters." On Monday, before we learned the two soldiers had been murdered, "al-Qaeda in Iraq" posted an Internet message claiming it had captured the soldiers, adding that "we shall give more details" in the "next few days" -- you know, the part where the soldiers each got Bibles and were allowed to pray 5 times a day.

The deadly episode gave Democrats something to crow about. No post- Zarqawi honeymoon for Chimpy! Just wait for the snuff video! Democrats really get off on snuff videos. And broadcasts of the latest U.S. military death toll and how we've reached another 'grim milestone.'

It's why liberals are hot for photos of flag-draped coffins, or images of servicemen wearing that other uniform -- the body bag. They love the troops.

With this whole debate on Iraq backfiring on Democrats, Democrats are livid, angry, resentful. More than ever. They're so livid, Bush would have to erect a monument to Zarqawi at Arlington Cemetery to make them happy again.

Poor, poor losercrats.

Anyway, that's...

Thank you, Dolly! Hope you have a great birthday celebration for your friend.

[Mama_Bear]

I am guessing Billie made up the graphic that I used for background.

Actually, Dolly, that is one of ST.LOUIE1's creations. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Hay Mama Bear, I see you are having a God(d) day! me and Dr. Zoo love thypos!

Yes, nothing like a glaring typo to start the day off on the right foot. LOL.

HUGS!

[Mama_Bear]

I have so many cuts on my hands & fingers Lori, that it HURTS to type..

Well, ouch! Sounds painful.

And your storm looks really bad on that link. Take care, sistah.

[Mama_Bear]

That is such a neat graphic Mama_Bear :)

Thanks, ((((( Bro )))))

[Diver Dave]

Arriving late again, but wanted to commend you both for the great essay and graphic presentation.

Temperature has cooled down to 90 degrees at 10:20 pm after reaching 107 late this afternoon. Gonna be 108 tomorrow and 109 on Sat. Thermostat broke so I had to hotwire it to operate the AC. Perspiration is rolling off like sweat, but it's still a lot easier to wipe the sweat off my brow than shoveling snow in the winter.

[JohnHuang2]

I have this saying: If it were any better, it wouldn't be any good. AWESOME JOB, DOLLYCALI! Bravo!! Just logged in, so I haven't read the replies, but here's a big THANKS to Y'ALL for dropping by!

Massive (((((((((((((((((((((((((group hug)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!!!

There is more power in the open hand than in the clenched fist.

Thank you so much: that devotion blesses me.

[DollyCali]

sorry I wasn't with you last night but my cable was out from late afternoon & was still out when I got back from birthday party. The rain was unbelievable - Lori, wish I could send you some of mine & Dave your heat sounds incredible!

We had a lot of flooding in the roads. My date had to find a way to get here as two of the three access roads to my area were flooded out & closed by police/fire depts. One of them washed out completely.

The birthday party was quite nice. The host couple is going through a bout of cancer again. He had & beat prostate & now is dealing with bone cancer. This time is is NOT going to do chemo or radiation but is going with the dietary route. They & three other couples all have summer homes on an Island in Maine. Of the 12 people there 7 of us were vegetarians! How often do you see that?

Is was not planned that way but the closest friends of the birthday boy (NOT a vegetarian) were invited & his brother/sil came from out of town.

Haven't read the news re: any damage etc but our infrastructure was just not equipped for so much rain so quickly. On the home front we have puddles (big ones)in kitchen & family room from I guess, roof tiling off & leaks.

Giants Of The Deep

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Job 41:1-11

God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves. —Genesis 1:21

The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived. Some are 100 feet long and can weigh over 175 tons. The biggest one ever measured had a heart the size of a Volkswagen!

In Genesis we are told, “God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind” (1:21).

When the Creator revealed Himself to Job in his time of suffering, He used the giants of the deep, including the mysterious Leviathan, to illustrate His divine power, His unsearchable nature and incomparable character.

“Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of [Leviathan]? No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? . . . Everything under heaven is Mine” (Job 41:9-11).

God uses the whale, the Leviathan, and all the giants of the deep to remind us of how awesome He is as Creator of the universe (Romans 1:20). The One who made creatures that cannot be controlled is Himself beyond our control and understanding.

Just as a frightening thunderstorm makes us stand in awe of the Creator, so should the blue whale. All of God’s creation points to His eternal power. —Dennis Fisher

Great is the Lord, He is holy and just;
By His power we trust in His love.
Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true;
By His mercy He proves He is love.  —Smith

Creation is filled with signs that point to the Creator.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Thank you for posting little Molly's picture. It was lovely to see her face. She died last year. We think it was a stroke. I was holding her when it happened.

[DollyCali]

I am so very sorry. We really get attached to these little furry friends. I really still miss Oliver tremendously & it has been 6 months.

[Aquamarine]

Sorry to be getting here so late, have been down at the hospital in Atlanta where my mom had a pacemaker put in. Everything is fine now although there were some complications.

Enjoyable read as usual JH2.
Dolly, I like the graphics and the new font but the italics were a little hard for me to read in that font style - or it could just be my weak eyes.
