Monthly Challenge/Freeper Convention Ticket Drawing!

More Monthlies Needed!!

If we had enough monthlies to cover our costs we wouldn't even need to hold FReepathons or, in the very least, they'd run a lot faster. If you are a regular donor to Free Republic, please consider starting a monthly. Your donations will be processed automatically each month by our program or through PayPal.

If you are not a regular donor to Free Republic but find our website fun, useful and informative, please consider becoming a regular donor. Start a monthly if you can.

And if you start your monthly this month (or increase your current monthly) please let me know by FReepmail and we'll include your name in a drawing to be held at the end of the month for TWO tickets to our National Convention in Washington, D.C. on Sept 11 through 13.

We now have EIGHT new or increased monthlies in the drawing for August and would like to add YOUR name. If your name is drawn, you can use the tickets yourself or give them away to others.

Woo hoo!! Hope to see you in DC!!

The Purple People Beater (sung to the tune of The Purple People Eater)

Well I saw the thing comin’ out of the left
It wore a union label, and yelled a threat
I commenced to shakin’ and I said “ooh-eee”
It looks like a purple beater to me

It was a S E I U union purple people beater
(S E I U union purple people beater)
A democrat, left-wing, union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

Well he came into town and he came up to me
I said Mr. Purple People Beater, don’t beat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn’t beat you cuz you’re too tough

It was a S E I U union purple people beater
(S E I U union purple people beater)
A democrate, left-wing, union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

I said Mr. Purple People Beater, what’s your line
He said it’s beatin’ honest people and it sure is fine
But that’s not the reason that I came to land
I wanna beat people for Obama my man

Well bless my soul, pipe and club, union purple people beater
Weather underground, union purple people beater
(S E I U)
Union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he swung his fists knocking people to the ground
He started to fight, kicking people around
He sung a crazy ditty as he swung his fists
Singing boop boop aboopa lopa lum bam boom

Well bless my soul, pipe and club, union purple people beater
Weather underground, union purple people beater
(S E I U)
Union purple people beater
Sure looks strange to me

And then he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was fighting it out, a’really knockin’ em dead
Pushing down old ladys and kickin’ them in the the head

(clarinet solo)

Proposed Unofficial Anthem For Tax Protests

Ray Stevens:
If ten percent is good enough for Jesus
It ought to be enough for Uncle Sam
Click The Link Above

Now, I'd just like to say a few words right here about taxes!

I pay another man to do my taxes
On account of it's just one more deduction I can take
But the postman brought my W2 this mornin'
And this year they're claimin' a third of all I make

Now I'm just as patriotic as the next man
And you know I love that Red, White, and Blue
So I'll help to pay this risin' "cost of freedom"
But I'll be danged if I'm gonna change my point of view
 
Because every time the bureaucrats run out of money
Well Congress socks it to the workin' man
And I don't think it's one bit funny
When they take so much of my money
And do things with it I don't understand

I don't know why they feel they gotta squeeze us
But I'll tell you just exactly where I stand
I believe if ten percent is good enough for Jesus
Well, it ought to be enough for Uncle Sam

Now, some of them folks that we've been sendin' off to Congress
Think that all they've got to do is spend and spend
But, you know, you can't run a family, much less a country,
With more money goin' out than comin' in

And that ole debt just keeps on gettin' bigger
And we're all gonna have to pay, so don't you laugh
'Cause one day soon you might just look down at your paycheck
And figure out that they done started takin' half

And every time the bureaucrats run out of money
Well Congress socks it to the workin' man
And I don't think it's one bit funny
When they take so much of my money
And do things with it I don't understand

I don't know why they feel they gotta squeeze us
But I'll tell you just exactly where I stand
I believe if ten percent is good enough for Jesus
Well, it ought to be enough for Uncle Sam

I said if ten percent is good enough for Jesus
Well, it ought to be enough....
(Ya know times is gettin' tough)
It ought to be enough for Uncle Sam
