Look at what happened to old Al Gore after being Freeped but GOOD!

I told em FR gets heard from over 80 million people a day and that has them bugged and they have been trying to prove me wrong ever since. LOL

I wonder how many hits FR really gets? That's a very interesting number you posted! :)

[Willie Green]

Howlin, CJ made the same connection back in reply #80, but I don't know the basis for it.

[cmsgop]

Off Topic, but I hope you had a Nice Thanksgiving!

[Joe Hadenuf]

I agree. Bush always called himself a "compassionate conservative".

Compassionate conservative? Yet another neocon liberal term?

I personally have lots of compassion, but only for America and Americans........and one or two of our few friends outside of this country. Take for example Saudi Arabia, which I have nothing but utter contempt for, while our so-called leaders dance with these devils.

[Howlin]

It's a fact. But since you didn't know the fact, that makes your observation all the more insightful, doesn't it? :-)

[Bill Davis FR]

one of our jobs is to get 60 conservatives elected to the senate...then maybe we can get someting done...

[FreePaul]

I don't consider myself part of the "hate Bush" crowd. I've never heard of the referenced web site. BUT, Bush is going to have to do something about illegal immigration and the illegal aliens already here. He is not going to pick up any of the illegal votes and he is certainly in danger of losing a lot of support from those who are more perceptive or experienced than his advisors. I don't want him to be a one term President over an issue that could easily be handled.

You are nuts.

[Howlin]

That's awfully nice of you. We had a nice Thanksgiving but now everybody sick as dogs.......not at this house, but two of the grandchildren and the father of the NEWBORN......so we've been trying to help out........I haven't posted in DAYS.......(I have a twitch and I don't *know* anything.....LOL)

This jerk author may not like FR, but I notice he came here to post this DIATRIBLE so it would get read, huh?

[deport]

Yep he got band...

But he came back, used his same posting style, links and all and guess what.....

he got band again....

"Maybe we should expel or banish Southerners with a drawl to wherever they came from until they learn to speak proper English, too, eh?"

Well, when I went north from Louisiana on business, I never had any trouble being understood or understanding, so I guess that a "Southerner with a drawl" must also speak American English sufficiently successfully to get along--which is what counts--not whether one speaks with an accent or not.

If you plan to live in the US, LEARN THE LANGUAGE. Same as if I were planning to retire to Mexico--the Mexicans would have every right to expect me to learn Spanish sufficiently well to get by.

Be sure to drive the volvo. ;)

[Publius6961]

please, share your 'thinking' on how blanket condemnation of islam, and even those muslims who appear not to have pro-terrorist or even anti-American sympathies, is not bigotry

No, thank you.
The last thing you're likely to see from me is running my life on the dictates of retards. Even if they say "please".

[Willie Green]

It's a fact. But since you didn't know the fact, that makes your observation all the more insightful, doesn't it? :-)

Well, it still leaves me wondering how anybody knows it to be a "fact".
I certainly don't want to be defending a slimebucket.
I'm simply asking where the "fact" came from.

[TLBSHOW]

You do the math and you'll see. 80 million hear from FR aily!

[Sparta]

"OK, so we don't have flame wars in here"

That's not entirely true and that's a good thing.

[DoughtyOne]

To my way of thinking, raising the issue of Jim's physical limitations placed this hogwash out of bounds.  That was the end of the story for me.

As for Bush and his responsibility to prevent our nation from being invaded by illegal aliens, it's his duty.  He's been in office two years and hasn't taken action to stop it yet.  Allowing immigration from the middle-east despite the problems we face, is something I will not remain silent on further.  Bush has a duty to execute.  He is not doing it.

Within the last week we find that 105 known terrorists were allowed to enter our nation from the middle-east.  This would not have been possible if Bush had placed a moratorium on entry from the middle-east until we are able to vet those folks properly.  Any one of these folks could perpetrate a number of acts which will kill from a few to tens of thousands of US citizens.  I don't have to tell you what Bush's duty is with regard to this.

While the writer was an idiot, some of the topics he touched on deserve to be discussed.  It's unfortunate that he couldn't present them in a manner that would keep folks from dismissing him as I did.  Unfortunately, the things he needed to address are for the most part untouchable these days because the mere mention of them indicts Bush to a certain extent.

I like Bush.  He is not perfect.  If he doesn't take action to stop illegal immigratin in the first quarter of 2003, he's got serious credibility issues on sovereignty and terrorism.

.......{Free Republic is...handicapped}............{anyone calling themselves a Republican is God's brother - and cannot be criticized}............{Pres. Bush really is God - uncriticizable, no matter what}................First, all involved - from ordinary Freepers to "JimBob" himself - have to accept that having an (R) next to one's name doesn't make a politician beyond criticism.

Total crap! I have repeatedly critcized Trent Lott (R) on this site and have never been censored. Additionally, many Freepers agree with these comments.
