My dear brother and sister FReepers,

At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them.  I have much I would like to say.

BUT, I cannot!

Why?

Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.

I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter,  do so now!

If you have already donated, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU, please ping your friends, and FReep on...!

I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so.  But we need to help FR too.  Where would we be right now without it?

If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.

I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE?<--click here

Support FreeRepublic! Support the U.S.A. <--click here

Getting what they deserve...boycott and bankrupt...let it be a lesson to others.

[Abn1508]

Everyone who has fucked around with this so far has gotten their heads handed to them on a platter.

It's like what we told Morgan Stanley after they hosted that Clinton speaking arrangement. They fell all over themselves apologizing to us, but my husband told them it was their lack of good judgement in the first place that made us remove our business from them.

OpaLocka Fire Department in Miami, some of the firetrucks had American flags on them in a show of patriotism and one firetruck driver said he would not drive the truck until the flag was taken off because it was offensive to him. Two other firefighters objected to the American flags on the trucks. All three are Muslims, whether American Muslims like Nation of Islam or whether immigrant Muslims, I don't know. The firefighters in Miami are disgusted. Last night the firefighters union voted unanimously to include the American flag on the firefighting uniform.

This was a great test case and first shot across the bow against the Beast of American Political Correctness. It is wonderful how thousands upon thousands mobilized and gave NCCI the middle finger with red, white, and blue ribbon around it.

This news story should be archived, and then should be mailed ASAP to ANY further US companies, college librarians or whomever that try to pull this kind of Politically Correct, anti-American stunt in the days, weeks and years to come.

They will stop it upon seeing this test case, and I don't mean maybe.

If anything, these managers and executives do not want their companies to go bankrupt and in turn, for them to lose their SUVs, kids' college education, trips to Cabo San Lucas, and easy, gated- community livin'.

" one firetruck driver said he would not drive the truck until the flag was taken off because it was offensive to him. Two other firefighters objected to the American flags on the trucks"

How asinine, foolish, idiotic and just plain stupid to publicly make such statements. Don't these Muslim firefighers know who will be watching their backs in the next big blaze?

[VoodooEconomist]

All three are Muslims,

I don't condone violence against American Muslims, but THEY ARE NOT helping themselves here. They should be out on the street condemning Infidel bin Laden to hell. Instead, they're whining about the American flag offending them. Where do we get these people from?

[VoodooEconomist]

This was a great test case and first shot across the bow against the Beast of American Political Correctness.

But, these short-term outrages are just that ... short-term. The evil socialists that occupy the positions to make these un-American decisions remain in place. When things calm down, they'll just return to their wicked ways. They've got to be rooted out and destroyed -- treated like the weeds they are.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

DEPORT NOW

[VRWC_minion]

and one firetruck driver said he would not drive the truck until the flag was taken off because it was offensive to him.

Why in the world does he stay here in the United States then ?

[Dixielander]

The "offended" were actually the offenders. I think they should have been fired on the spot. Moreover, I don't think it is a good idea for Moslems to be working as firemen or policemen during this critical time in our history. (I'm not bashing Moslems per se, but the facts are that we don't know who the terrorists are, only that they are Moslems, Until we know more, we should should be very cautious. I believe that those Moslems in the U.S. who stand with us will understand.)

Oh... I couldn't begin to hazard a guess why...

FBI warns terrorists may steal fire trucks

By Kelli Arena
CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI issued a warning to firefighters across the country Tuesday that terrorists could hijack their trucks and use them as bombs

The FBI warning said fire and emergency services vehicles could be stolen by terrorist groups and turned into rolling bombs aimed at military bases or other government installations.

The FBI asked fire departments to review the security of their stations and vehicles. If a vehicle is stolen, stations were asked to immediately notify the FBI.

The FBI did not say there was any specific and credible threat that caused it to issue the warning.

One official said the FBI is exercising "an abundance of caution" and is passing on all information it is gleaning from interviews and tips, "regardless of the reliability of the source."

Some firefighters told CNN their vehicles -- even those carrying patients -- have been stopped and searched upon entering medical facilities.

The warning was sent by the FBI to the National Volunteer Fire Council and the International Association of Fire Chiefs, which passed it on to local fire departments.

Political Correctness gone amuck. This crowd is as dangerous as any of our enemies. They control our speech which is nothing less than totalitarians. Patriotism and love of country may offend some people????????? Is there any doubt who these people are and what they want to accomplish?

[Schnucki]

one from as far away as Ohio

Hey! One of those e-mails came from an ex-pat in Austria! ;)

After posting I just caught This politicly correct retraction.
It's almost like there's a cult of intentional incompetance.
They claim the constitution forbids them from detaining, say, a foriegn national from the mideast at an airport who buys a one way ticket with cash - yet they have zero qualms about detaining Americans who happen to have "too much" cash in their pockets (and confiscating said cash).
The feds and public seem squeemish about "innocent arab civilians" being killed in a reprisal, yet had zero qualms about massacreing over 80 people at Waco.

Islamic culture declared war on Western Judeo-Christian culture. It's an us or them thing - I chosse us, and if that measn (and it more than likely does) the eradication of arab culture so be it. do it. now.
But It's almost like the administration is purposely going in to lose, or drag things out as long as possible.
I can't help but notice that the first then on our elected "leaders" agenda wasn't a declaration of war against these countries, but rather strengthening "hate crime" laws for crimes against arab americans. (during that time they where run out by two bomb threats.

[StriperSniper]

Where do we get these people from?

The question is where do we send them?
As for the time yesterday is too late.

[Prodigal Daughter]

I found it, it's finally online, it was only two firemen. A radio station was talking about it this morning and interviewing people about it (firemen and city manager). They thought it is because the firemen are Muslim but the article doesn't say if they are or not. After following proper procedure, the fire department will probably fire them, (if ACLU lets them, that is)

I'll just post the link and two paragraphs since it has that copyright paragraph at the bottom.

Two Miami-Dade firefighters refuse to ride on truck with flag

MIAMI (AP) -- Two Miami-Dade County firefighters refused to ride on a fire engine carrying the American flag, saying Old Glory was offensive, officials said Wednesday.

The two firefighters, one an engine driver and the other a firefighter, showed up for work Saturday morning, saw the flag on the truck and refused to ride, telling crew members that the flag represented oppression, said Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue spokesman Lt. Louie Fernandez. (click title above for full story)
