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!

Silky Pony Edwards gets
beaten up by a girl; film at 11

by JohnHuang2

I have a one-word description for the lynch mob's reaction to Coulter, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word "queer," so I haven't decided.

Liberals hate it when facts get in their way, but Ann Coulter did not call John Edwards a "faggot." That would be inappropriate since the Breck Girl's a . . . girl. Then again, if Coulter had called Edwards a "lesbian," I suppose libbies would be cool with that since that's what Kerry and Edwards called Cheney's daughter on national television during the debates. Or maybe with all the talk of Democrats wanting to surrender in Iraq, attacking Ann is their way of showing just how tough they can be . . . by attacking a girl. Which is what Ann is being accused of in Edwards's case, come to think of it.

Maybe what liberals hate so much about Ann-The-Straight-Shooter is the part about straight. With beauty centerfolds Rosie O'Donnell and Helen Thomas as their spokeshags, maybe libbies are just a tad jealous. Can't blame them. The closest thing in that party to someone who looks like a woman is John Edwards.

To their credit, at least liberals aren't reacting to Coulter by burning and looting churches and shooting nuns in the back like those darlingly warm and fuzzy Muslims (they keep defending) whenever they get their feelings hurt.

Ann's remarks come on the heels of news that a suicide bomber had targeted Cheney, but missed by a whole mile, so libbies were already pretty depressed. Poor things. (The bomber tried to blow up the Veep, but at least he didn't use the word "faggot.")

Coulter is accused of referring to John Edwards with an outrageously derogatory term for a gay man -- "Democratic candidate." Members of the gay community found her remarks offensive because she callously associated gays with John Edwards.

In response to Coulter's comments, Edwards issued a statement . . . attacking the girl. He expressed shock because Ann Coulter was being Ann Coulter. I hear that Edwards was so distressed, he broke a nail and had to be rushed to the beauty salon for a full facial, a bouffant hairdo and complete French manicure!

Edwards gorged himself with chocolate afterward.

To show that no girl is going to intimidate him, Edwards then rushed out an e-mail begging supporters to raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" to make her stop and show "every would-be Republican mouthpiece that their bigoted attacks will not intimidate" him. Whining about a girl attacking you and hurting your feelings then asking for cash struck me as soooooo unlady-like.

Interestingly, Edwards did not deny the charge he says Ann made. His supporters say he doesn't have to. Which is probably true since no one doubts he's an effeminate pansy.

Rumor has it that Edwards briefly considered suing Ann, but she was smart enough to buy "offensive emissions" credits or offsets, which means she's "emissions" neutral.

Actually, only a sissified wussy nancy boy -- the technical term is "male liberal" -- would have a problem with Ann's remarks anyway, since this is all she said: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.'" Just to be extra nice, she even avoided using that other "slur" word Democrats are always crying about -- "Democrat," instead calling Edwards a "DemocratIC candidate." Anyway, many gays use the word "Faggot" on each other, among other things.

Of course, if Coulter were a liberal Democrat and joked about a Republican in the same way, or expressed sadness that Cheney had not been murdered in a bomb blast set off by the Taliban, or called Bush a monkey and a liar and a murderer, or talked about the "extra chromosome Right Wing," or called New York City "Hymietown," or called U.S. troops "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags," or called all 9/11 victims "little Eichmanns," the same libbie lynch mob would say, 'What a very insightful liberal Democrat she is!' In fact, Edwards would hire her as a blogger.

But! The 'growing consensus' among the language Gestapo set is that her "faggot" remark is career-ending. Ann's 'career-ending' remark at CPAC comes many months after her career-ending remark about those four 9/11 "harpies," which was many months after her career-ending remark about Arab "ragheads," which was many months after her career-ending remark about "jihad monkey" Ahmaneedajob, which was many months after her career-ending defense of Joe McCarthy in a career-ending bestselling book. National Review dropped Ann as columnist 6 years ago -- one of her first career-enders. USA Today dropped Ann as '04 convention columnist -- another in a long line of career-enders! Books like "Godless" and "Slander" and "Treason" drove even conservatives away -- to the book store. So, yeah, no one will want to read Ann's next bestseller. Any more of these Coulter-career-enders and libbies will all end up in rehab.

In Coulter's current career-ender, her main point (the transcript isn't available in crayon, so liberals still won't get it) wasn't about John Edwards but about free speech -- how those darling 'tolerance' fascists are prone to having meltdowns and getting hysterical over the utterance of certain banned words. Even playground taunts. The libbie meltdowns and hysteria work to control language and thought, Orwell-style. Coulter utters one of the taboo words, the media and the libbies take the bait, then rush to drive her point home by having a meltdown and getting hysterical. At bottom, it was a joke about what a joke it is that celebrities end up in rehab for nothing more than gaffs because liberals get hysterical even over playground taunts and can't stand getting their feelings hurt. They're OK with gagging Coulter because she doesn't have the hots for Orwell like they do.

Libbies say they rollick in nuance, so naturally the nuance boys missed the nuance in what Coulter was saying. Let's try this REAL SLOW so maybe even libbies might get it. Coulter . . . Did . . . Not . . . Call . . . John . . . Edwards . . . a . . . "faggot." If she had, it would go something like this: "John Edwards is a faggot." Got it? In Ann's CPAC remarks that's got liberals sobbing and hysterical, the name "John Edwards" is in the same sentence as "faggot," but it's up to the listener to make an association. Could've been one of Silky Pony's campaign staffers, or former campaign staffers -- for example, that blogger he fired who looks like a guy dressed as a chick. Anyway, I was just about to mention that "a bundle of twigs, sticks, or branches bound together" is also called "faggot," but I'd hate to end up in therapy.

Wikipedia notes that long ago "recanting heretics had to wear an embroidered figure of a faggot on their sleeve." Some experts say that still happens today. For example, Kerry wore John Edwards on his sleeve.

Some have done it, but it's a non sequitur to compare what Coulter said to what that idiot Bill Maher said last Friday. Maher was bummed out that Cheney didn't get wasted in a suicide bombing, and said so. Coulter was only joking. Maher wasn't. Luckily for Maher, he said it on his TV show, so nobody saw it.

Anyway, that's...

Jesus Cried

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: John 11:21-35

Jesus wept. —John 11:35 A friend whose young daughter was killed in a car accident in May 2005 told me: "I cried easily before Natalie’s accident. . . . Now I am always crying. Sometimes the tears just slip out."

Anyone who has suffered such intense personal tragedy understands what she is talking about.

Is there anything wrong with crying? Or do we have biblical evidence to suggest that it’s okay to cry?

Jesus gives us the answer. Lazarus, a close friend of His, had died. When Jesus arrived at the home of Lazarus’ sisters, they were surrounded by friends who had come to console them. Jesus saw Mary and Martha and their friends mourning, and He too was overcome. Sorrowing with them, "Jesus wept" (John 11:35).

Sadness, tears, and mourning are familiar territory for everyone on this earth—even for Jesus. His tears tell us that it’s okay if tears "just slip out." And they remind us that the reason tears of sorrow will be extinct in eternity is that "there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain" (Rev. 21:4).

When God wipes out the effects of sin, He will wipe out the need for tears—one more reason to look forward to eternity.

God shall wipe away all tears;
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears,
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.  —Clements

Heaven—no pain, no night, no death, no tears.

Bible in One Year:   Deuteronomy 5-7; Mark 11:1-18

[MEG33]

Amen..Thank you, Mayor.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Hi. This morning just the pics are coming up on JH2's essay. I'll be back to check out to see if the essay appears later. The pics look great and I can see others have been able to "see" John's words. I'll check back.

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Aqua and John
Fantastic thread! Ann Coulter is a riot. What a big cry baby John is. ;)

I get such a kick out of that video of him doing his hair. If anything, he's entertaining. ;) the Break Girl. LOL

[Billie]

Oh my gosh! John, you always hit a home run, but I really, really, really love it when you focus mostly on the dim for the day!

Aqua, I am also thinking this is your best one yet as far as finding the very best illustrations to make John's words have even more punch. Love that first pic of Coulter, and laughed and laughed at each one thereafter!

"Kerry wearing Edwards on his sleeve" - ROFLOL!!!

Thank you for Thursday's Big Smile!

[Billie]

proud, evidently the coin background didn't open for you, so you're seeing the text on black background, which of course won't show. Try highlighting the whole thing, and the text will appear white and you'll be able to read it.

Hate the background didn't open. Sometimes I have certain graphics at my server that don't open every time. I refresh and refresh and refresh and eventually they open. It's aggravating.

[La Enchiladita]

Thank you, Aqua, for your (as always) classy presentation of John Huang's essay. This continues to be the warmest, most welcoming thread on FR, in my view, and that is due to the reliability of the Sistahs and The Mayor

We look forward to each of the regular features on The Finest and, as a slacker, I thank you all.

[La Enchiladita]

Absolutely marvelous, solid essay, John. You nail several important points.... especially the nasty mischief the left gets away with compared to one oblique comment by a conservative commentator.

For the record, I'm in Anne's corner on this one.

[proud2beconservativeinNJ]

Try highlighting the whole thing, and the text will appear white and you'll be able to read it.

Thanks for the tip, Billie. I have never seen that, sometimes the text appears delayed or slowed, but it just didn't come up at all.

Now that I'm in, I enjoyed the essay. I didn't like being left out. Thank you.

[The Mayor]

Excellent... simply excellent!

[The Mayor]

My Pleasure Meg.

[The Mayor]

Well Thank you so much.

[Aquamarine]

Just LOVE that first picture with Coulter. Had not seen that one!

Found that graphic over on Pookies Toons thread yesterday. Luckily there were a few others there also. :)

Thanks for the kudos!

[Aquamarine]

Hi Dixie, it's great to see you today.

How's everything in your lovely area, are the flowers starting to bloom yet?

[Aquamarine]

Thinking of Jesus crying makes me cry. Thanks for posting this Inspirational Mayor.

Hope your day wasn't too tough, you all have been in my thoughts.
