Veracity of info on Free Republic?

[hawk1]

Recently discovered Free Republic forum and have found article after article containing some of the most unbelievable stories concerning American interests and values. Are these stories really true? If so the United States needs to look no further than within its own borders for state sponsored terrorism. Seems to be a recurrent theme on immigration and American traditions and values. Recently watched a CNN debate on whether the US should allow foreigners in the country if they say death to America. What??? One Georgetown professor said yes. Unreal.

Welcome to Free Republic. You are in for the education of your life.

Most of the posts here have links to the source of the article. If you have doubts about the veracity of the post, click on the source link and check it out for yourself. Free Republic doesn't verify the accuracy for the posts made here, the reader is expected to be intelligent enough to decide for himself.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. As with all things, research, compare, study, test, check sources, check for a source's reliability over time, etc.

Do you think he is joshing us? After all, most newbies don't start with a vanity....

Welcome to FR. Veracity? Only to the degree you consider UPI, AP, CNN, KNIGHT-RIDDER, REUTERS, USA TODAY, FOXNEWS, WASHTIMES, NYPOST, etc. to be truthful.

We could, but then we would have to superglue your lips together. :^))

If you're asking whether the article is genuine, check on the source link. If you're asking if the information in an article is ture, depends up the source (NY Times, DEBKA, any British newspaper, etc.) - use your own judgment on that one.

As for all the terrorists within our border: based upon fact it's relatively simple for foreigners to get visas, and the fact that the INS has never gone after people with expired visas, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.

As for liberal professors and the crap they spew, you shouldn't be surprised at all.

Welcome, pull up a comfy chair, accept a cyber beer and just read the articles and comment when you have something worth saying (as now).

Also, as a newby, you are expected to bring popcorn and soft drinks. (Grin)

Anything posted with information on moosebites and cheese is completely reliable.

Is EVERY article posted on FR true ? Nope ! Is every FREEPER posting FACTS , when they reply ? ABSOLUTELY NOT !

That being said, IF you want truth, And facts, read alamo girl's compilatio, the one on China, and the archieves. Do read ( rather than post ) as much as you possibly can, here, and soon, you'll be able to begin to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Recently watched a CNN ....
