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!

The Senate Resolution Will Not Be Televised
by JohnHuang2

At the DNC's winter meeting last week, Hillary Clinton told the nuts gathered there that she "wanted to be very clear about" something: "If I had been president in October 2002, I would not have started this war!" Would've waited another 6 months, at least! Oops, Bush did. She vowed that if Bush doesn't stop the war in Iraq that she voted for, then she will, if you make her president. There's this saying, 'when hell freezes over.' I think there's also this saying, 'when Bill Clinton becomes First Lady.'

Hillary said that a then-looming quorum call after the filing of a petition to be read by the clerk for a motion to invoke cloture on the question of debate over a non-binding resolution sends a clear message!

Showing their deep love for America, the Democrats opened their meeting with a Hezbollah-supporting Muslim Imam offering a prayer trashing America and calling on Allah "to stop the war and violence, and oppression and occupation" in Iraq. The Imam stopped short of calling for beheadings and more 9/11s, so Democrats insist he's a "moderate." He appeared to ask Allah to convert all Democrats to Islam. I hope Allah gets right on it. Pelosi would look so much better in a burka.

At the gathering which was held in the Hilton hotel ballroom in D.C., former Sen. John Edwards told the inmates that to wait until January 2009 to stop the war in Iraq that he voted for is to wait too long. It risks the danger of Edwards changing his mind again (was pro-war, then lukewarm, then pro-war, then semi-lukewarm, currently anti-war). "This is not a time for political calculation!!!', he said calmly, wagging a moist finger toward the crowd. "This is the time for political courage!" The courage it takes to stand with a majority of randomly selected adults in the latest Gallup poll! And, of course, the courage that remarkably comes with not actually having to cast a vote to, say, cut funding, given Edwards's status as the former senator. But it does display herculean courage to give non-binding glib speeches.

Sen. Barack Obama told the gathering he was against the war Hillary and Edwards voted for before they voted for it even though they now say they were tricked into voting for it by a 'moron.' Sen. Chris Dodd -- another Democrat who's thrown his turban into the ring -- said he's "disappointed we can't find a way to do more than send a meaningless message to the White House" and stop the war in Iraq he voted for. (Dodd now says he wouldn't have voted that way had he known then he was being tricked by a chimpanzee with magical powers.) "I don't believe spending a week debating a non-binding resolution is the change America voted for," Dodd added. Dodd's unique theory is that Bush invaded Iraq for purely political reasons. Yeah, that's why his polls are so high right now.

If Democrats keep moving left like this to stroke their nut base, by the time the '08 primaries roll around, Hillary will be leaning toward a comprehensive health care plan for al-Qaeda as the Breck Girl tops that with a 102-acre estate for the jihad boys now in Gitmo, complete with 72 tax increases.

Liberals scream endlessly about 'THE IRAQ QUAGMIRE' brought on by the BUSHCHENEYHALLIBURTON WARMACHINE, yet the speeches at the Hilton illustrate the HOPELESS IRAQ-STYLE QUAGMIRE the party finds itself stuck in. While Democrats are betting the Great Satan's troop surge doesn't stand a chance up against an invincible buncha rock-throwing goat herderborgs in impregnable mud huts, if you had to sum up the Democrats' latest 'deeply held' pathology on Iraq, it would go something like this: We need troop caps, the troops aren't safe, don't send reinforcements, bring back the draft, there ain't enough troops, the surge is too big, no evidence this surge is enough, more troops = more targets, send more troops to Afghanistan, troops are mercenaries, we support the troops, don't support the mission, troops are torturers, Abu Ghraib, we support the troops, troops need more armor, must stop the funding, can't stop the funding, this war's a mistake, must win this mistake, this war's unwinnable, troops doing a marvelous job, troops losing the war, need a troop cap and if the cap fits you musta quit.

It's this stunning display of clarity which has BushCheneyHalliburton doing circles around libbies and why the Democrats' credibility on Iraq right now is just about even with horse dung. And now the Democrats' Terrorists Encouragement Resolution seems bogged down in a quagmire too. A week ago the resolution was a slam-dunk. It would've run into trouble earlier had it not been for all those Kyoto-killing winter storms keeping Rove busy.

The vote on Monday for cloture on the Democrats' resolution fell way short of enough votes to cut off debate -- 60 needed to stop debate and go for a vote. So now that Republicans are in the minority, they've gained control of the Senate!

On Monday, after hours and hours of floor debate on Iraq, Sen. Harry Reid held a news conference accusing the GOP of blocking floor debate on Iraq. In an epochal shift, the New York Times agreed with Democrats and accused Republicans of blocking debate. Here's how it goes: Reid puts forth a motion to cut off debate, the GOP blocks the motion to cut off debate. Democrats then run to the press complaining hysterically that the GOP is blocking debate. The press then responds by quoting the Democrats that the GOP is blocking debate. The Democrats then cite the press as proof that the GOP, by blocking the motion to cut off debate, is trying to cut off debate -- a charge that is highly debatable.

Democrats claim they've got a "mandate" from voters to stop the war but they can't muster enough support to even stop debate about debate over a meaningless resolution. Yeah, let's have these guys run the war.

Of course, Democrats deny their resolution is to help the enemy. They say it's all for the troops. We just wanna offer our troops the lack of support they deserve!

The Democrats' real plan was to steadily ratchet up pressure on the White House to surrender in Iraq -- starting with the Terrorists Encouragement Resolution, opening the door to another resolution which opens the door to another resolution with steadily growing RINO defections until the White House waves the white hanky. But hold on. Sen. Judd Gregg comes along, screws up the whole game plan with his own resolution. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Cojones) tells the Democrats what their options are: We want votes on all 3 resolutions -- McCain, Gregg, and Warner-Levin. Don't block the Gregg alternative, and magically we won't block yours. In the spirit of bipartisanship, Democrats rejected the offer. And stamped their feet. Late Tuesday the Democrats even rejected a GOP offer to drop the McCain resolution, with just straight up-or-down votes on Gregg and the Democrats' surrender resolution.

Besides ignoring the omniscience of Warner-Levin, the Democrats' beef with the Gregg language boils down to (paraphrasing): 'Congress should not cut off or reduce funds to troops in the field.' Most Democrats for now are pretending they don't support cutting off funds, which means the Gregg language would attract the most votes, which means the real headline from all this would be: Senate Mysteriously Votes to Back Ruthless BushCheneyHalliburton Warmachine: Rove Diebold Manipulation Suspected.

That could bring the White House down! In rollicking laughter.

Anyway, that's...

Thought this fit todays thread.

[Billie]

Hi, there, you two! Did it again, didn't ya, John? I like the way you put it all together, too, Sistah D! Am so glad we have someone who can 'tell it like it is' every week.

I'm holding onto hope that the "In it to win it" spouse of the impeached one ends up winning nothing but egg on her face - AND the candidate who beats her for the nomination doesn't ask her to be his running mate either. :(

In solitude, on wings of prayer
My soul ascends before the throne;
My only hope of strength is where
My heart and His meet all alone.

Being in politics I get told all the time about the seperation of Church and State and not to bring my religion into anything... especially the way I would vote if and when elected.

People have no clue any longer about the need to put Christ and God back into politics.. We are falling further away from Gods riches and blessings in this country because we have thrown God out of everywhere.

I was on a radio show one day when I was running for state assembly last year, a caller called and asked me if my "religion" would play a part in my voting. The host said, Rus answer only if you want to, that's a tough question.

Tough? I think not.. I answered it, I said I am who I am, I will vote according to my convictions in my Heart. When you elect me, you get me. I went on for a few minutes. Two callers right after praised me for my response and thanked me for running.

I lost that race but I didn't falter from my convictions and will not. I hold very strong to my Faith, it is who I am. I will win this year, I feel it in my bones.

[Aquamarine]

Being in politics I get told all the time about the seperation of Church and State

Of course you know they are telling you about a myth. Why don't you ask them next time to read you the part of the Constitution that says that.
You have the right attitude about your faith, hold strong to it.

[The Mayor]

I ask them that all the time and they are stunned when they find out it's not in the Constitution..

I love to argue that arguement, I win every time... : )

[Aquamarine]

Wish I could be there to watch that. lol

It's good that you're giving hope to the conservative Christian audience, imagine you must sound like a breath of fresh air to them on the radio.

[The Mayor]

I got alot of calls and emails after complimenting me on the show.
Some said it was the best I ever sounded, polished and well prepered.
I just winged it and answered the questions. It's fum and I wish I could do it more often.

Thanks Aqua..

Five Cs Or Two Gs

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Proverbs 30:7-9

The Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. —Psalm 84:11 Young people in Singapore at one time aspired to have the five Cs. Cash in the bank. Career for the future. Car to drive. Condominium to live in. Credit card to travel with.

A recent newspaper report indicated that there is now an updated version of the five Cs: Connectivity to be tuned in. Choices, and the more the merrier! Cheek—doing things our own way. Causes, because it is hip to help. Consumers who spend first and pay later.

Instead of the five Cs, Agur, the writer of Proverbs 30, asked for two Gs from God: His grace and goodness. He sought the grace of God to "remove falsehood and lies far from me" (v.8). He didn’t want to fall into the trap of believing that corrupt principles, practices, and affections are acceptable.

Agur also asked for the goodness of God to provide what he needed—no more and no less (vv.8-9). He was concerned that poverty could cause him to become covetous and to disgrace God’s name. But he also realized how easily riches could pamper him and cause him to deny the Lord.

Which do you desire more? The temporary satisfaction of the five Cs or the rewards of God’s grace and goodness? Is your desire to honor God’s name above all?

Let us celebrate together,
Lift our voice in one accord,
Singing of the grace and mercy
And the goodness of the Lord.  —Sper

God’s grace is infinite love expressing itself through infinite goodness.
