Howdy everyone!
Woo hoo!! Are you ready for a FReepathon?!
Well, we do indeed live in interesting times. This is the weekend that the treasonous liberals, RINOs and turncoats were going to work overtime to ramrod the amnesty bill through and it looked like they had everything going their way, but a funny thing happened on the way to the Senate. Hundreds of thousands of outraged grassroots conservatives united, mobilized and turned out to instill the fear of voter rebellion into the minds of the weak and vulnerable fence sitters and would be turncoats, and courage into the hearts of the stalwart conservative senators. And, lo and behold, the cursed sovereignty threatening bill was killed. Oohrah!!
Congratulations and thank you FReepers and grassroots conservatives all across the fruited plains! Without your magnificent performance, our borders would have been erased, our national sovereignty lost, and all chances of ever electing a conservative government again gone forever. Conservatism is definitely alive and kicking in America! And Free Republic is alive and still kicking liberal butt on the Net!!
Recently, a cabal of RINOs and moderates on FR tried to convince us that conservatism is dead. That America had rejected conservatism and therefore we must elect moderates who will govern from the middle, ie, from the left of center. Conservatives had held their boot to the neck of the GOP for too long, they said. And they declared the only "electable" Republican for president is the abortion/gay activist, gun grabbing, illegal alien pandering NY liberal, Rudy Giuliani. Well, we put the kibosh to them, and last week's defeat of the libs and RINOs puts the kibosh to their defeatist liberal ideas.
RudyMcRomney is now falling and a new star is rising. FRed is now the only major candidate with momentum gathering in the right direction and he hasn't even declared yet. Got a feeling that soon after he declares, he'll be blasting the doors off the competition. FRed is an unabashed conservative. And he's got a great conservative record, is well-versed on all our issues, is articulate, charismatic and popular with the people. And he is the Rudy killer! Once Rudy and McCain's campaigns are sunk, all conservative boats will rise. Unlike RudyMcRomney, Thompson/Hunter are not the media's choice. Nor are they the Republican leadership's choice. They're the grassroots conservatives' choice! Great concept, eh?
We were kind of down in the dumps after the 2006 fiasco and then having turncoat RINOs and liberals as our so-called front runners for so long, but now that we have fine conservatives like Thompson, Hunter, Tancredo, et al, making solid progress, and after having witnessed the actions of rhe grassroots conservatives during the last few weeks, I'm starting to get optimistic about our chances. Looks like we will be electing conservatives after all, and we will continue putting conservatives on the court and we will begin making headway against the liberals!
Yes, grassroots conservatism is alive and well. It's united, mobilized, energized, and locked and loaded for action. It's about to take the nation by storm. Hold on to your hats!!
And as a result of all of the above, Free Republic is stronger, more conservative, and more focused than ever before. The libs and moderates have left for WAnkers.net and conservatives are uniting and gaining strength on FR.
If your interests and goals include defending Life and Liberty, defending the constitution and our freedoms, defending our national sovereignty and securing our borders, fighting the libs and advancing our conservative causes and candidates, then FR is the place to be in the months ahead. Free Republic IS the premier conservative news and discussion site!
And as always, we are most grateful and appreciative of your support.
God bless America, God bless our troops and God bless you all.
Happy Independence Day Everyone!!
Really?
4th of July BUMP to the top. Let’s keep our forum going!
4th of July is a day that has a family connection to my hubby. One of his ancestors was in-law to 3 of the signers!
That, and a buck might buy us a cup of coffee, but it makes it more real to me to realize these weren’t just icons, but real flesh and blood people....like us, who cared enough to do something.
So we should care enough to do something.
Donate, folks!
I’m the kid that’s all the candy,
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
I’m glad I am,
So’s Uncle Sam!
I’m a real live Yankee Doodle,
Made my name and fame and boodle,
Just like Mister Doodle did,
By riding on a pony.
I love to listen to the Dixie strain,
I long to see the girl I left behind me;
And that ain’t a josh,
She’s a Yankee, by gosh!
Oh, say can you see,
Anything about a Yankee that is phoney?
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
A Yankee Doodle, do or die;
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam’s,
Born on the Fourth of July.
I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart,
She’s my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies,
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.
Father’s name was Hezikiah,
Mother’s name was Ann Maria,
Yanks through and through,
Red, White and Blue!
Father was so Yankee-hearted,
When the Spanish war was started,
He slipped on his uniform
And hopped upon a pony.
My mother’s mother was a Yankee true,
My father’s father was a Yankee, too,
And that’s going some,
For the Yankees, by gum!
Oh, say can you see,
Anything about my pedigree that’s phoney?
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy,
A Yankee Doodle, do or die;
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam’s,
Born on the Fourth of July.
I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart,
She’s my Yankee Doodle joy.
Yankee Doodle came to London,
Just to ride the ponies,
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.
Good job! Them things are rare.
Mt. Rushmore , last night.
Happy Independence Day!
$50 from PA!
WISDOM |
As some of you may know, one of my sons serves in the military. He is
still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me
know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops,
everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, and thank
them for being willing to serve, and fight, for not only our own
freedoms but so that others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at
yesterday, on his ay home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha. He said when
she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the US flag lapel pin
the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and touched the
pin, and said proudly, "yes, I always wear it and I probably always
will." The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going
to stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm
around my son's shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm
and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men
and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could
stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR
countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own
country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now
learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a
ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess
in YOUR country t! hat you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."
Everyone within hearing distance cheered.
Happy Independence Day everyone!
