A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

New Doubts on Media's Plan to Ruin Bush Second Term
by JohnHuang2

Did you see the graphic images? No, it wasn't torture, but it came close. Again and again, the interrogators tried to humiliate the detainee, who was forced to sit in stressful positions. The sessions dragged on for hours. They tried roughing up the detainee. They tried waterboarding, but the captive still refused to give up valuable intel. It got so bad, at one point, one of the interrogators was ready to break a chair over the detainee! But enough about the Condi Rice Senate hearings. Democrats demanded two full days of hearings, to give everyone ample opportunity to beat up the black chick. It's part of the Democrats' new "Southern Strategy."

"We must use American diplomacy to help create a balance of power in the world that favors freedom," Dr. Rice told the committee in opening remarks. Democrats seemed shocked that a nation's top diplomat would pursue diplomacy.

Dr. Rice recounted how she "grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, the old Birmingham of Bull Connor and church bombings and voter intimidation." (Robert Byrd objected saying, 'Hey, I resemble that remark!')

"America and the free world are," noted Rice, "once again engaged in a long-term struggle against an ideology of hatred and tyranny and terror and hopelessness." Then I realized she meant Islamism, not liberalism.

Dr. Rice made it clear that she doesn't see the War on Terror as a limited engagement, but the defining struggle of our time. Democrats say that's a lot of malarkey -- the defining struggle of our time is . . . Halliburton. Wiping away a tear, Barbara Boxer demanded a timetable for U.S. evacuation of Iraq (I was wondering when we'd hear from Saddam's spokes-hag). Boxer accused Rice of lacking integrity, pounding the table with a fistful of rubber checks from the House bank. "It's hard for me to let go of this war" because you've "not laid out an exit strategy" and "you've not set up a timetable," screamed Boxer, who's racked up 15 billion frequent flyer miles as a space cadet.

Dr. Rice will be the first black woman to be Secretary of State, thanks to these racist Republicans. Dems say they admire her personal story. They just don't admire her. Showing Democrats aren't just some One-Issue party, the opening hours of the confirmation hearing were all about Iraq. The closing hours were all about Iraq. And of how lousy reconstruction is going, the cheery fellas. Things are so bad, say Dems, that if you gauge, say, electrical output in Baghdad, the readout shows only miniscule output. (Hello? That's an EEG hooked to Boxer's brain.)

Dr. Rice is the latest "controversial" nominee -- "controversial" means she disagrees politically with those labeling her "controversial" -- for Bush's second term.

Speaking of which, if you've been reading the newspapers -- the same newspapers whose keen insight amazingly led them to predict Bush was a sure One-Termer -- you'd know Bush has pretty much screwed up his second term. Bush had not yet finished his first term, so it wasn't too early to recount just how Bush screwed up his second term in elaborate detail. In the weeks leading up to Bush's second inaugural -- typically the Honeymoon period -- the media, showing their penchant for fairness, were awash with Honeymoon headlines like, Second Term, Seldom a Charm and Iraq exit uncertain and National Fissure Remains Deep and Wide and Bush gives no date for troops' return and 6 Bush Scandals To Come and Bush will pull troops 'as quickly as possible'. Even DUers, noticing that Bush wasn't heeding their calls to concede to Kerry, had figured out that a Kerry inaugural this Thursday wasn't in the cards, so they hopped on the BUSH-SECOND-TERM-DOOMED! media bandwagon.

Yet, the fact remained that Bush would be sworn in on Thursday, and there was nothing Democrats could do to stop it. Dems, after weeks of mapping out new strategy -- recheck Bush's Alabama dental records, trip up that black chick Condi, torture Alberto Gonzalez, capture Rummy and Autopen, put Teddy Kennedy on TV, keep recounting votes in Ohio, launch the Boxer Rebellion, block inaugural prayer -- still can't seem to connect. Beating up blacks and Latinos in Senate hearings probably shored up their base, but not much else. On top of that, a pre-inaugural TIME poll showed Bush's job rating surged to 53 percent after puppy Miss Beazley moved into the White House.

Overseas, in Iraq, the offices of a leading Shiite party was car bombed and gunmen killed three candidates and a Sunni group with ties to al-Qaeda killed a key U.S. ally and "insurgents" fired rockets against targets in Baghdad and 28 Iraqi prisoners escaped during transfer -- so the news wasn't all bad for Democrats. And threats by al-Qaeda to redouble their Jihad in Iraq gave Democrats something to cheer about. Yet, despite the heartening news from Baghdad for Teddy Kennedy and Co., it was Bush, rather than a Democrat, being sworn in this week.

Then, on Monday, appeared another cruel reminder of why Kerry lost and Bush won. The reminder was Kerry, who blasted the election outcome and said he'd not challenge the election outcome. Chomping on sour grapes and chanting We Shall Overcome, he complained that thousands of people were "suppressed" from voting, "voting machines were distributed in uneven ways," people had to stand in long lines, names were purged from voting lists -- voting irregularities all over the place. But enough about Washington State. (Actually, Horseface was talking about Ohio. Kerry ran for president of Ohio and lost.) Back from goose-hunting in France, Kerry blasted Bush's Iraq plan, which includes bringing elections to Iraq and noted in Boston that a nation willing to bring elections to Iraq "cannot tolerate" being "denied" the democracy we're bringing to Iraq. In other words, the bed-wetter says Bush's Iraq election plan is no good and what this country needs is to import Bush's Iraq election plan.

Kerry popped up at Rice's Senate hearing Tuesday. His colleagues looked stunned. Kerry, attending a Senate hearing? He'd not been seen at one of these in many wives. Anyway, after bleating on and on about Iraq in a "statement" stretching halfway into Bush's second term, he turns to Chairman Lugar, and asks, 'May I respond to what I just said?' (OK, just kidding. ;-)

But here's something I ain't kidding about: Thank God for Four More Years of George W. Bush!

Anyway, that's...

My two cents

Thanks for another great post and God Bless America and George W. Bush.

[dansangel]

Thanks for another great post and God Bless America and George W. Bush.

Thank *you* ((((((Temple Owl))))))

Didn't our president give a great inaugural speech?

[dansangel]

Please tell your daughter and her husband that we are ever so grateful for the sacrifices that they make for the well-being of our country.

You must be very proud and rightfully so.

May God Bless you and your beautiful family abundantly. Please find strength and peace in knowing that so many of us appreciate and care about the people who work so hard and sacrifice so much to keep us free.

((((((Inspectorette))))))))

[dansangel]

Thank you for your always-kind words (((((((Billie))))))).

President Bush's speech (what I was able to see of it - the cable company keeps connecting and disconnecting us - they have us listed under the wrong apartment and once we clear it up with one person, another comes along and pulls the plug - I just *love* Adelphia) was excellent.

I am so grateful to have a man leading us who is not afraid of his faith and is confident in his goals. No lame-duck president is this one!

.45MAN found the screaming Boxer pic - couldn't resist using it - she is such a poster child for Prozac if I ever saw one.

You will have FReepmail shortly. :-)

[dansangel]

(((((dutchess))))))

Hoping all is going well in FL for you and your Dad and Mr. D.

I am so proud of our president and his speech this day. We are one very blessed nation indeed.

[dansangel]

Thank you for the update on Mama_Bear, Just Amy and Marissa. I can imagine the crowds were very fierce this morning for so important a function.

Send them some ((((((HUGS)))))) from me.

[Billie]

Hi sistah. Poppy and the twins are just coming in....God.. I LOVE this family! You must be a proud Texan about now!

Oh, I am, I am! I love this family, too! All of them! But for Ross Perot, we would never have seen the likes of the impeached one in the White House. But it might have been a good thing after all. After 8 years of clinton, it seems America got wiser - even with all their fraud of the elections in 2000 and 2004, we STILL won - and won control of the House and Senate, too. It might be a different story if we *hadn't* had to endure those eight long years of corruption.

[dansangel]

Some healing ((((((HUGS))))))) coming your way visualops. So sorry to hear that you are under the weather.

I'll bet the inaugural speech (were you able to hear it?) perked you up some.

Hang in there and feel better.

[Billie]

I am sorry. :( How disappointing that is for *all* those who couldn't get in. Hopefully, they did all get inside to view the ceremony. Am sure you taped it like many of us did. It was just beautiful, wasn't it? :)

[Billie]

Oh, I hate you are sick - you need some chicken soup. (or maybe lemon almond pound cake) :) The ceremony was just beautiful, wasn't it? And the President's speech very eloquent...... and sincere, as it always is.

[MHGinTN]

Thanx for the ping, Angel! As always, reading JH2's insights makes me wonder why such common sense humor hasn't found a place in the Big Media ... but then I reread John's comments and snap to the realization that his wisdom is far above the lamestream media whores.

Kudos, John, one of your finest!

[dansangel]

Howdy stranger! :-)

So wonderful to see you (((((((MHGinTN)))))))

but then I reread John's comments and snap to the realization that his wisdom is far above the lamestream media whores.

*Amen*

[Inspectorette]

Thank you so much for your kind thoughts - it's wonderful to be a Freeper for a lot of reasons, but mostly for the support system when we need it :-)

[jkphoto]

I am sorry. :( How disappointing that is for *all* those who couldn't get in. Hopefully, they did all get inside to view the ceremony. Am sure you taped it like many of us did. It was just beautiful, wasn't it? :)

Yes, it was disappointing for her. They got within 5 feet of the gate when the ceremony started and they closed the gate.

Yes, it was beautiful and GW's address was GREAT!

[dansangel]

It's the very least we can do. There are many here who love, respect and appreciate our military. Please keep us updated on your son-in-law's progress.

[dansangel]

They got within 5 feet of the gate when the ceremony started and they closed the gate.

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure just *being there* is a thrill, though. The excitement must be evident no matter where they are.

[Aquamarine]

Another enjoyable read. Love it you two!

Also loved our President's speech, was able to watch all of the inauguration on TV...even thought I heard Mama Bear and Just Amy cheering one time. :)

[dansangel]

(((((Aqua))))))

Thank you for your kind words.

Yes, I am *sure* the cheering you heard definitely was our very own Mama_Bear and JustAmy! :-)

[dutchess]

Oh Lori and Amy. So sorry you didn't get to see the speech. I'm sure someone taped it and that the freeper ball tonight will make up for missing it. Thanks for keeping us updated jk!

GWB was great wasn't he. Even dad said "you're man did great!" (this from Mr. anti GWB!)

[Aquamarine]

GWB, very relaxed and in a good mood.

A great moment.
