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!

Putting things wildly in perspective
by JohnHuang2

Here's a short list of things which haven't magically changed, even after a rat takeover of Congress:

-- Bush is still President of the United States, and Jon Carry isn't.

-- Bush is still Commander-in-Chief.

-- Bush still has two more years as President and Commander-in-Chief.

-- Bush still has the veto pen. That veto pen means the Nancy Pelosi/Charlie Rangel/Henry Waxman/Ted Kennedy/trial lawyer/ environutter/gun-grabbing/tax-hiking agenda has zero chance of becoming law.

-- The war against Islamofacists is still on.

-- Unless Saddam's death sentence gets overturned by the 9th Circuit, the 'GOD-IS-GREAT!' screaming secular Baathist is still going to hang.

-- The Democrat Party is still a patchwork of special interest groups. These groups don't agree on much. The irony is that, rather than civil war erupting in the GOP, it's more likely to happen within the Democrat Party, since nothing will get done, which means lots of internal strife and lots of finger-pointing. The stuff these groups will be pushing for is very unpopular, which is why, before the elections, they hid Pelosi in a cave in Tora Bora.

-- The Democrat Party is still a collection of losers who haven't got a clue yet. The Dems, after a string of losses -- in 2000, again in 2002, again in 2004 -- were bound to win one. Two-term Presidents don't win both midterm elections -- just doesn't happen. And you can bet that these Dems, feeling emboldened, will spend the next two years hard at work getting the GOP back in shape for a big comeback in '08.

The 2006 midterm election was a battle, just one battle, not the war itself. The big one will be '08. We'll win that one.

Dem's derailed...November, 2008!!!!

Anyway, that's...

My two cents

Hi All.
In addition to looking forward to removing the Dems,
we can also celebrate .... Parade Day and Neon Sign Day.

Whatever you celebrate, have a Terrific Thursday.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Happy Parade Day and Neon Sign Day!

The moon rises over an 8-foot-by-16-foot neon American flag displayed by Dave Rose on a communications tower at his farm in Shawsville, in northwestern Harford County, to celebrate Independence Day. The neon tubes for the bottom three stripes malfunctioned. (Sun photo by Kenneth K. Lam) Jul 3, 2006

I wonder what states those would represent...

[Mama_Bear]

Billie, you were right. John's Two Cents today did make me feel better. Not great....but definitely much better.

Thanks, team dutchess and JH2, for another great post. You BOTH are priceless in my book!

[JustAmy]

Hi Pal.

Your Neon Flag is perfect for Parade Day and Neon Sign Day.

Hope your workload has let up some.

Have a Terrific Thursday!

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thank you. Very kind of you.

[dutchess]

Thank you for reminding us of positive aspects of the train-wreck of yesterday.

Hi Luvvy. Working on John's essay made me feel much better too. He does know how to put thing in perspective!

[dutchess]

Hi Geebee. Sorry I missed you last night. Posted and headed straight to bed! Thanks for your kind words!

[dutchess]

Thanks for stopping in bootless.

thanks for that wonderful two cents worth of perspective and hope ... and motivation!

Well put. John's essay did that for a lot of us!

[dutchess]

Thank you for the essay, JohnHuang. Hopefully things will turn out for the better next time.

Hi tulip...from the way Pelosi and the dems are already flexing their muscles, if we stay strong....we WILL pervail in 08!!!

[dutchess]

Okay, rant over... I'll sit back and watch the MSM attack the Dem controlled House and Senate for the next two years. The claim to be unbiased so the fireworks should start in January.

From the soundbites I heard on Rush and Hannity today...the gloves are already off!!!! It's going to be a bumpy two years but I can't help but feel we WILL pervail!

BTW...Congrats on Christian...just saw the football pictures on yesterday's thread... TOO COOL!!!!

[dutchess]

Hi Meg...sorry I missed you this morning. LOVE that pelosi parody. Think we'll be using that one a lot the next few years...consider it stolen ah errr "borrowed" :o)

[dutchess]

Wow..."stopem in" from Italy. Have a wonderful (AND safe) rest of the trip! Perhaps a Finest thread on your ventures???? We're always looking for new ideas (hint hint)

[dutchess]

Wonderful essay.All the good things I could not think of yesterday are pointed in your essay.:)

I was REALLY down before opening Johns essay...boy...he did make great points didn't he!

[dutchess]

Hi Rus...I saw your post of your election results. I think you should be VERY PROUD!!!! It's not easy getting as many votes as you did bucking the "traditional" system! Congrats good friend!

[MEG33]
