Free Republic

<p>" It didn’t sound like a hard question. After George W. Bush delivered a tepidly received address to a convention of minority journalists, a Native-American editor from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer asked, “What do you think tribal sovereignty means in the 21st century?” As president and a former governor, the journalist said, Bush had a “unique experience, looking at [the issue] from two perspectives.” The president fumbled. “Tribal sovereignty means that—it’s sovereignty,” he stammered. “I mean, you’re a—you’re a—you’ve been given sovereignty and you’re viewed as a sovereign entity.” As Bush rambled, looking like a schoolboy unprepared at the front of the class, many of the hundreds of Asian, black, Native American and Hispanic journalists gathered before him…well, snickered.</p>

By you own admission, the Free Republic hates democrats, non-Christians, gays, the environment, strong women and pacificts to name a few. That's about 80% of your fellow Americans that you oppose. You claim to be defenders of the constitution and yet you support amendments allowing the federal government to tell you who you can marry and what religion you should follow. You claim to believe in free speech and in the next sentence say you will censor anyone that doesn't agree with you. And yet you claim to to be pro FREEDOM? I don't get it.

OMG THE LIBBERS ARE EVIL!

This Is No Time For Libertarian Nonsense By Jim Delinis http://www.freedominion.ca Of all the tiresome political talking points to emerge post-September 11, the civil libertarians have been by far the most tiresome. Attorney General Ashcroft went to great pains to please this group in the original anti-terror bill (the PATRIOT Act) only be to painted as the Devil Incarnate. There is a lesson to learn in all of this. The Civil Libertarians are a relic of a time that has long since past. They, in the name of freedom and commerce, continually stand in the way of much-needed measures that...

This spring, the [Bush] administration significantly increased its pressure on Pakistan to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman Al Zawahiri, or the Taliban's Mullah Mohammed Omar, all of whom are believed to be hiding in the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan... ...This public pressure would be appropriate, even laudable, had it not been accompanied by an unseemly private insistence that the Pakistanis deliver these high-value targets (HVTs) before Americans go to the polls in November.

i am not a democrat or republican. i am saying right now that Bush will lose in November. i'll be back after the election to say i told you so.

freerepublik The Freeper's Pathetic Attempts at Historic Revisionism Regarding Stalin's "Communism" and Hitler's National "Socialism" -By Chris P. Bacon- July 20th, 2001 It has long been a ploy of the right wing in America, especially with regards to our friends (National Socialists as fervent as Hitler ever was) over at freerepublic.com, to convince people that liberal programs such as welfare, gun control, or even public schools are forms of wicked fascism in the truest spirit of Hitler and the "Communists" of the eastern Bloc simply because, in the names of these political dead ends, they included the word socialism. This...

I Just saw the Movoie Fahrenheit 911. Man, was I blown away. I am a lifelong Republican and a solid Bush supporter. Did Mr. Moore ever open my eyes! Who knew Bush was so corrupt and incompetent! Good job, Mr Moore for getting the truth out. I feel like my wisdom has doubled after seeing this great movie. Mr. Kerry, chalk up one new vote.

<p>In case you don't know, "Freepers" are fans of a certain far-out-right-wing-nut website and they go on sites like this and "freep" books with one-star reviews without reading them. They're group-thinkers and dittoheads. They go on polling sites and "freep" them as well, and the ones who are technically inclined attempt to infiltrate some websites and shut them down. They're rotten, horrible people.</p>

Communism is No. ONE!

Retired Diplomats, Soldiers Tell Bush to Beat It by Jim Lobe In an unprecedented broadside, more than two-dozen top retired U.S. career diplomats and military commanders, many of whom reached their top positions under former President George H.W. Bush, have called for George W. Bush to be defeated in his re-election bid in November. "It is time for a change," declared a one-page statement by 27 ex-officials released at a press conference here Wednesday. "Never in the two and a quarter centuries of our history has the United States been so isolated among the nations, so broadly feared and distrusted." "The...

<p>January 24, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - In a sharp rebuke aimed at France and Germany, Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday lashed out at countries that want to duck a showdown with Iraq, saying America will have plenty of friends in the foxhole without them.</p>

Mr. Penn, I enjoy your movies. I am responding to your invitation to the public to email you with comments on your recent New York Times editorial. I agree with you that the greatest problem in our nation is arrogance. I cannot believe that there are people in this country who get rich by wearing what someone tells them to wear, standing where someone tells them to stand, wearing a facial expression someone tells them to have, and saying words that someone tells them to say. The overwhelming majority of these people are not very well educated. These same people...

Susan Sarandon is in trouble with the American right and her mum, but the 'celebrity activist' believes that protesting is more important than winning Oscars. It is 8am and Susan Sarandon arrives on time at the Mercer Kitchen in New York's SoHo district. Despite wearing gym clothes and no make-up she looks stylish and does not seem tired. In fact, her clear-eyed and agile demeanour suggests she has been up for hours.We are standing in front of a 10ft wooden sculpture that has been anatomically altered. The waiter explains that this happened a few weeks earlier when a drunken patron...

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The veteran Kremlin envoy pleaded with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to step down only three days before the U.S. big guns opened up on Baghdad. The Iraqi strongman heard Yevgeny Primakov out, patted him on the shoulder...and then walked out of the room without another word. Saddam's defiant answer to Russia's last-minute top-secret mission to stave off the U.S.-led offensive against Iraq emerged late on Friday from Primakov, a former Russian prime minister and old friend of Iraq who had known Saddam for years. Primakov, 73, said President Vladimir Putin sent him on the make-or-break mission on...

President Jacques Chirac has ordered his officials to draw up plans for a French-language, international television channel to counter the growing influence of the BBC and CNN. He has demanded that the blueprint for the service - already nicknamed "CNN a la Francaise" - be ready by the end of next month as he has become increasingly irritated by the "Anglo-Saxon" view of global events which is being beamed into millions of homes and hotel rooms around the world. He also wants to challenge America's domination of international affairs by extending French language and influence. The proposal for the new...

Bastard just said it...if we attack Iraq they are out as a partner on the war on terror.

Merkel's Prostration Before Bush By Markus Becker Angela Merkel has created a huge stir: In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, the CDU chairwoman joined in with the war chant of the US administration, denounced the German government, and thereby violated a tradition of German politics. DDP Angela Merkel: Bows down to US government Berlin - The blockade of planning for military assistance to Turkey "undermines the basis for the legitimacy of NATO," wrote Merkel in the respected US daily. "The most important lesson in German politics," the CDU chairwoman went on to say, was that there must...
