April 8th Thread of Iraq War Pics
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING TO SEE THESE ELSEWHERE
In Basra, Iraqis are FREE.
They are happy and dancing - except where the European and American media
are pushing antiAmerican comments and then taping it - and skipping some of these pics.
September eleventh, two thousand and O-one, Our land of freedom was defied; September twelfth, two thousand and O-one, Uncle Sam replied. Chorus We did it before and we can do it again--and we will do it again. We've got a heck of a job to do, But you can bet that we'll see it thru. We did it before and we can do it again--and we will do it again. We're one for all and we're all for one, They'll get a lickin' before we're done. Millions of voices are ringing, singing as we march along. We did it before and we can do it again--and we will do it again We did it before and we can do it again--and we will do it again We'll knock them over, and then We'll get the guy in back of them. We did it before, we'll do it again.
""If there's any ill will or bad feelings between the Jets and the Redskins, I don't think it's on the coaching level or the player level," Spurrier said. "It just seemed like they had players, free agents and restricted free agents, that filled our needs, and we had an opportunity to attempt -- which we were successful in doing -- to sign all these players. "Obviously we needed a return man -- a punt return and kickoff return guy -- and we thought Chad Morton was the best we could possibly go after. We needed a kicker, and we thought John Hall was the best. We needed a guard, and Randy Thomas was right there among the best. And then Laveranues Coles, we thought, was one of the best receivers out there. So it just happened that way. If there's some bitterness among management-level people, that's something that they need to talk about. But we have the utmost respect for Herman Edwards and the Jets' coaching staff for all they've done there with the Jets." Morton became the latest defection Monday when arbitrator Richard Bloch awarded him to the Redskins, finding that the Jets improperly matched an offer sheet last month to the restricted free agent. Jets General Manager Terry Bradway accused Redskins owner Daniel Snyder of overpaying for Thomas and Coles, and Snyder said just after Bloch's ruling he wanted to see how the Jets would "spin" the loss of Morton. The teams are scheduled to meet on Sept. 4 at FedEx Field in the opening game of the NFL season."

"More than 15,000 union workers and relatives of service members rallied at Ground Zero Thursday to show their support for American troops fighting in Iraq. Among the crowd was Joan Stewart of Houston, who rushed to the rally after hearing about it while visiting here. She held up a photograph of her stepson, Cpl. Heath Long, 28, who is assigned to a Marine helicopter unit in Iraq. "I feel so proud," she said. "I am from Brooklyn originally, and I am proud to be an American and a New Yorker. It makes me feel great to be an American." Many in the crowd along with politicians who spoke saw a connection between the war and the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. "The war started right here on Sept. 11, 2001," Gov. George Pataki told the gathering, which included dozens of firefighters in bunker gear mixed in with carpenters, electricians and ironworkers."

"Saddam Hussein's eldest son, Uday, told me in 1995 that he intended to assassinate two of his brothers-in-law who had defected and also the man giving them asylum, King Hussein of Jordan. If we had gone with the story, I was sure he would have responded by killing the Iraqi translator who was the only other participant in the meeting. After all, secret police thugs brutalized even senior officials of the Information Ministry, just to keep them in line (one such official has long been missing all his fingernails). Still, I felt I had a moral obligation to warn Jordan's monarch, and I did so the next day. King Hussein dismissed the threat as a madman's rant. A few months later Uday lured the brothers-in-law back to Baghdad; they were soon killed. I came to know several Iraqi officials well enough that they confided in me that Saddam Hussein was a maniac who had to be removed. One Foreign Ministry officer told me of a colleague who, finding out his brother had been executed by the regime, was forced, as a test of loyalty, to write a letter of congratulations on the act to Saddam Hussein. An aide to Uday once told me why he had no front teeth: henchmen had ripped them out with pliers and told him never to wear dentures, so he would always remember the price to be paid for upsetting his boss. Again, we could not broadcast anything these men said to us."
The ClintonNewsNetwork shows that it's as anti-American and anti-TRUTH as Der SchleekMeister hisself!! What a gutless breed EffeteEliteLib'rals are accross the board!!

"In my view, Bush´s most imperative contribution has been elevating the role of “Commander in Chief” to the most significant facet of the Presidency. At one time it was evident to everyone the importance of having an ever vigilant Commander in Chief but this function was forgotten and avoided during William Jefferson Clinton´s eight year “holiday from history.” Bush´s stand-off with the Chinese in April of 2001 showcased his direct approach to dealing with nations who are not automatically our friends. One shudders at the thought of what Al “Buddhist Temple” Gore would have said or done had he been in charge of our nation. George W. Bush has reminded us why we have this unwieldy federal government. We don´t have a government to promote the Peace Corps. We don´t have a government to provide subsidies to special interest groups. We don´t have a government to pay some states to compete more successfully against other states. The reason that we have a federal government is to protect the people of the United States of America. We could call the United Nations but they´d never answer our calls. We could call France or Germany but they´d recommend the joys of subservience as a solution. We must defend ourselves or no one else will. Our government exists to protect us both at home and abroad. It took a man of Bush´s magnitude to restore defense as the fundamental justification for the bureaucracy that we spend so much for in Washington. Defending the frontier is why Bush is in the Oval Office today."
Somewhat over-the-top aggrandizement of our Commander-in-Chief, but factual in many ways...MUD
"The Daily Mirror has a fund set up for him. This really breaks my heart. I would give an arm to him if I could. But let it be remembered that his suffering is on the head of Saddam Hussein. God will hold Saddam resonsible just as Hitler is to blame for the deaths in Dresden and Tojo for the deaths in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There comes a time that such vile evil arises that even fates such as this boy must be endured to erase a much greater evil. While he suffers and our hearts break for him, millions of others were spared endless torture at the hands of Saddam and his evil monsters." by JDGreen123

"The Redskins would like to add a starting strong safety and a defensive tackle to share playing time with Dan Wilkinson and Brandon Noble. The draft is deep in defensive tackles, and some scouts believe Ohio State safety Mike Doss still could be available in the second round."

I came home hoping to link you to the article on www.ew.com, but it seems only subscribers (and AOL users) can access it. If anyone is an AOL user, and you go to key words "entertainment weekly" and then search their site under Springsteen, you can find it.
Anyhow....just thought you might want to see what your "hero" is saying about politics, our president & the war.

"...in an interview with the Associated Press, [Santorum] expressed his concerns over the challenge to a Texas sodomy law in the United States Supreme Court case Lawrence vs. Texas. "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery," said Santorum. "You have the right to anything."
"Immediately, "gay"-rights groups and certain Democrats demanded that Santorum apologize and resign from his chairmanship of the Senate Republican Conference, the third-highest position in the party's leadership. Why? Because his comments were construed as equating homosexuality with bigamy, polygamy, incest and adultery. The charge is absurd on its face and a gross distortion of his comments. The transcript makes clear that Santorum is concerned that if this nebulous and judicially created "right to privacy" were used to justify homosexual behavior, it could insulate all types of activities, including those he mentioned, from moral or criminal scrutiny. He was merely echoing the concerns of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Byron White in the 1986 case Bowers vs. Hardwick, involving the constitutionality of a Georgia sodomy statute. White wrote, "If respondent's submission is limited to the voluntary sexual conduct between consenting adults, it would be difficult, except by fiat, to limit the claimed right to homosexual conduct while leaving exposed to prosecution adultery, incest and other sexual crimes even though they are committed in the home." Neither Santorum nor White was equating homosexuality to the other acts they listed. Moreover, Santorum is also concerned that since the "right to privacy" is a federal "right," it usurps the authority of the states to set their own parameters in these matters. Santorum's reasoning here is hardly hypothetical, since this is exactly the privacy right invoked by the Supreme Court in the Roe vs. Wade abortion decision. The Court ruling limited each state's authority to regulate abortion – though nothing in the express or implied powers of the Constitution conferred such a preemptive right on the Court with respect to the issue."
Limbaugh's 100% correct here...the Lib'rals are trying to blow this outta proportion to paint Santorum and the GOP as anti-homosexual when the nature of the comment was to decry the federalization of this issue by Judicial Activism. There is no "right to privacy"--either written or implied--in the Constitution and any attempt to assert such a "right" as a method to overturn State law is simply legislating from the bench.
The DemonRATS are DESPERATE, as they continue to be addicted to an ever-expanding Federal Leviathan despite Americans' increasing realization that the Federal Guv'ment is already much too large than can be rationally-justified. Therefore, we should expect much more such intentional misinterpretation/demonization of Pubbies with similar nonsense between now and November '04...it'll be a tiresome process of refuting their allegations, but the Sheeple are capable of understanding the nuances of the arguments, and the Right must not back down to their Politics of Personal Destruction.

When I first started FReepin' a few years ago, I had heard Connie Hair--aka Clinton's a Liar--on Rush Limbaugh talking about this website called "FreeRepublic.com." At about the same time, I had heard about the Drudge Report--also from Rush's show--and quickly became addicted to clickin' on the DrudgeReport to find out about the latest news, then clickin' on Matt's link to FR.com to discuss the days' events with my newfound FReeper FRiends. I did this day after day, week after week, month after month, so when Matt decided to de-link FR.com, I couldn't help but to take it somewhat personally!! Matt continued to link to LeftWing nutjobs like Joe Conason and the HildaBeast, so I couldn't understand why he would be so thin-skinned about what some random FReepers had to say about Matt, especially when Drudge remained so cordial with folks like the DeeCee FReepers. I figgered Matt must have a financial stake in "Trixie" Goldberg's lucianne.com, as her conservative chat site continued to be linked to the DrudgeReport, but I've never seen evidence for OR against that assumption.
Anyway, I dutifully removed the DrudgeReport from my "Favorites" and even went so far as to parody LedZeppelin's "The Crunge" into a none-too-flattering song about Drudge, all the while sending an occasional email to Matt asking that he reconsider re-linking US to his website. I don't know why it has continued to bother me except to say it's kinda embarrassing when someone like Drudge considers FR.com to be too far out there on the Right...LOL!!
Anyway, it was good to see Matt this evening...he did a great job with Brian Lamb and a bunch of callers who weren't all that pleased with Drudge's viewpoints on stuff. He kept the tone positive despite some folks who'd like to have drug down into a mud-rasslin' contest based on their comments...he appeared to have really grown over the years into a deep-thinking individual compared the the "shock-jock" image I used to have of him.

BTW...Matt, if you still find time to lurk at all, I still think yer WRONG in not re-linkin' FR.com...we've grown up a bit, too!!
