Free Republic is a user supported website that runs off the brains, experience, energy, and yes, the cash, of freepers and lurkers. It is an undeniable fact that Free Republic has been instrumental in stopping the liberals with thier socialist agenda, and keeping up the fight for conservative causes and against corruption in government.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Thanks to Jellybean and Mercuria for today's word!

Here is my example with WFTD:

This year's 12 honorees including Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christy Turlington, Sarah Ferguson, Marlo Thomas, Heather Mills and Lilly Tartikoff, have made extraordinary contributions to health care -- from helping to develop an AIDS vaccine to raising money for a new breast cancer treatment. Hillary Rodham Clinton will give the keynote address.

Hitlery Rodman Xlinton is being honored as a Mother and Shaker of the Year? What on earth is Redbook thinking, oh wait, look at it’s name… Redbook. These people haven’t made significant changes in anything, at least, not for the better. The beast is vitiating(2) every organization that she touches. The more corrupt, the more she can control it. To honor her at this point only goes to show that the last eight years have viatiated any sense of morality and honesty within the minds of the masses.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christy Turlington...and Others to Be Honored with Redbook's Mothers...

Two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Mexico City. One man is holding a large cross and the other man is holding a large Star of David. Both are holding big hats to collect contributions. People walk by, lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and, almost for spite, drop large amounts of money in the hat held by the man with the cross. Soon the hat of the man with the cross is filled and the hat of the man with the star of David is empty. A priest watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the man with the Star of David and says: "Young man. Don't you realize that this is a Catholic country? You'll never get any contributions in this country holding a Star of David", and he walks off. The man with the Star of David turns to the man with the cross and says: "Moshe, can you imagine, this guy is trying to tell us how to run our business?"
