"... This is a wonderful description of what Free Republic really is. It is a living and evolving Life Form to battle the left wingers and those who would destroy this country!
The Free Republic Life Form enables us to discover the truth about what is happening. We can avoid the spin of the major mediots as they work 24/7 to weaken this country. We come to the Free Republic Life Form to find the truth! ...
Free Republic needs a constant infusion of cash to keep the Free Republic Life Form alive, viable and to grow. If we believe in Free Republic, we must donate each month or quarterly to keep this incredible life form alive...
Good stewardship is what this world needs, not good intentions. Good conservative stewards will insure that the Free Republic Life Form continues to grow, be viable and thrives!"
The general is just an insurance policy for the Establishment. Yes, Virginia, there is an Establishment, and the game it has played all of my life is to make sure that both the Democratic nominee and the Republican nominee were controllable by the Establishment. What the Establishment fears most is an independent outsider.Guys, Methinks Charley's title may be a bit sarcastic. During the Kosovo "war", it WAS revealed that General Clark is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations {CFR}, which IS significant among the Establishment.The Establishment isn't concerned with conservatives or liberals, with the left or with the right. These are all just red herrings to keep the populace distracted. Politics in our country is about money and power. End of story.The Establishment wants a choice between Wesley Clark and George Bush that would in effect be between tweedledee and tweedledum. Clark isn't even sure if he's a Democrat, much less what he believes, if anything. He just wants to be emperor.I predict that if Howard Dean wins the nomination, Establishment types will be throwing up all around the Ivy League.
=========================================
The "choice between Wesley Clark and George Bush that would in effect be between tweedledee and tweedledum " Has been Standard Operating Procedure {SOP} for the two{?} parties for quite a few years now. I think that Reagan was the last Presidential nominee that had the Establishment "throwing up" until the named The elder George Bush as his VP nominee due to the urging of the Establishment. And possibly the only one since Eisenhower.
Charley's bottom lines are "priceless"! Peace and love, George.
He probably thinks Dean is anti-Israel, after Dean's recent Middle East gaffe, so Charley thinks he's found a friend. LOL.
Screw 'em.
