    BAGHDAD, Iraq (Dec. 30) - A 16-year-old from Florida who traveled to Iraq on his own without telling his parents was put on a flight home Friday, the U.S. Embassy said, while warning Americans of the dangers of undertaking similar journeys... ...Hassan, a junior at Pine Crest School, a prep academy of about 700 students in Fort Lauderdale, recently studied immersion journalism - a writer who lives the life of his subject in order to better understand it. The teenager, whose parents were born in Iraq but have lived in the United States for about 35 years, says he wanted...

    First, apologies for the vanity. Now, I just cannot stand it anymore. If the Democrats tell me one more time how they support the troops but not the mission I'm going to explode. How many times have we heard this is a mistake, how many times have we heard we went to war under false pretenses and how many times have we heard WE CAN'T WIN THIS WAR, WE'RE IN A QUAGMIRE? (Teddy K among other). Basically, what they are saying to the troops is YOU CAN'T WIN THIS FIGHT. I'd like to see th Democrats and whatever Army they...

    DirecTV | 9-22-2005 | Daniel Evans
    As a DirecTV subscriber with DVR and a parent of thre small children, I often scan the movie channels for children's movies to tape for my children. I rarely allow the to watch broadcast television due to the content of commercials. Several weeks ago, I TiVo'd "Finding Nemo" on the Encore Channel for my two youngest children, age 3 and 4. What I got along with this RATED G movie was surreal. When the movie was over and the credit began to roll, Encore does what it always does and cuts the screen in half to run promos for other...

    Lawyer on Great's show just told America that the autopsy which Michael's lawyer claims "he strongly requested" is mandated by law in the local county whenever a body is to be creamated.

    cBS NEWS ^ | Byron Pitts
    (CBS) For 25-year-old Herold Noel, this winter, like the war, has not been kind, reports CBS News Correspondent Byron Pitts. When "Iraqi Freedom" began, Private First Class Herold Noel was a soldier in the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division, pounding a path into Baghdad. "I fought for this country," he said. "I shed blood for this country. I watched friends die." And like so many, Herold Noel came home a hero, but he wound up homeless. When the war in Vietnam washed up the first wave of veterans in need of shelter -- the Department of Veteran Affairs had no...

    I am considering making a move from the Soviet Republic of Illinois to the State of Kentucky, the Lexington area.

  • National Treasure Restores Values to Disney (Vanity)

    11/21/2004 1:32:41 PM PST · by dannyboy72 · 38 replies · 1,377+ views
    Sorry for the Vanity, but my wife and I attended the movie National Treasure with another couple on Saturday evening and I think that everyone needs to go to this film. This film is very well made and a true family vilm that will get your kids (and yourself) excited about American History. It's been a long time since I left the theatre feeling good about the message of a movie. I'm posting this fully expecting to get railed, but I think we can tell hollywood with our money that these are the kind of films that Americans want to...
  • Time To Flex Our Red Muscles (VANITY! FREEP OP!)

    11/16/2004 8:31:52 PM PST · by dannyboy72 · 6 replies · 273+ views
    I apologize for the Vanity, but I would like to solicit help from FReepers to do a little digging and help us to flex our Red Muscles. I believe it is time for us to realize that the current governments of our respective neighbors in Mexico and Canada are no longer interested in the good of this country, so I believe that it is time for us to take action. Not by boycotting...they don't really care. But by helping to fund and organize conservative movements in these countries. Libs have been doing this for decades and have accomplished the transformation...

    News-Democrat ^ | 10-30-2004 | Patrick Powers
    A high number of absentee ballots and multiple names registered to the same address in East St. Louis are raising questions about the integrity of the election Tuesday, Illinois Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka said Friday. During a news conference outside the East St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners office, Topinka highlighted suspicious cases. The cases were discovered by Illinois Republican Party members tracking absentee ballots in the Illinois Supreme Court race between Democrat Gordon Maag and Republican Lloyd Karmeier. "There are questions that jump up and bite you on the nose," said Topinka, who also serves as Illinois Republic Party...
  • Kerry and the Global Con Artists

    American Spectator ^ | 10/18/2004 12:05:34 AM | Ralph R. Reiland
    The big news is that the U.N. has flunked "the global test." And as big as it is, it's a story that isn't likely to find its way into the newspaper that trumpets "All the news that's fit to print" in the upper left corner of its front page every day. To find that "the global community" is made up of a bunch of crooks, that "the global test" is a racket, and that John Kerry is either utterly naïve or in cahoots with these global con artists is something that's just too unfit to think about, let alone broadcast...

    Poll: Troops, families question Iraq strategyMost surveyed say Bush sent too few troops; relied too much on Guard WASHINGTON (AP) -- Members of the military and their families say the Bush administration underestimated the number of troops needed in Iraq and put too much pressure on inadequately trained National Guard and reserve forces, according to a poll released Saturday. The National Annenberg Election Survey questioned active duty troops in the regular military and the National Guard and Reserves, as well as family members of active duty members. Family members were more critical of the administration's Iraq policy than those on...
  • Michael Moore Loots The Left

    As a relatively new FReeper, this is my first attempt at a vanity post. I heard a news item (i think) that Michael Moore is in talks to put his Docu-Propaganda on Pay-Per-View the night before the election and I cannot help but look back on what may be the greatest legal fleecing in America's history. Micheal Moore has taken hundreds of millions of dollars from the left faithful by playing to their hatred. He put his DocuProp into the theatres, rallied the troops all over America - Go Left Young Man..and pay for your ticket (or two) on the...
  • Brit Hume's Grapevine & The Kerry Communist Rifle

    FoxNews | 9/27/04 | Brit Hume
    Brit Hume just covered Kerry's quote in Outdoor Life magazine about owning a communist rifle to remind him of his M-16 that saved his life in Vietnam. Brit says that it turns out that the magazine never interviewed Kerry. Instead, they sent out a questionnaire. The Kerry campaign now says that Kerry did not answer the questions, but a campaign staffer answered for him. The staffer is to blame.

    This is the most disgusting show of American Citizenship I have ever seen....the guys who rips this sign needs to be sued for violating Civil Rights. I urge any attorneys who are Freepers to find this father and file this suit.
  • Rather Unimpeachable Source: His Daughter

    Dan Rather | 09-15-04 | Dannyboy72
    When Dan Rather says that his source is unimpeachable, it's because he created the source the old fashioned way...he gave birth to her. Who else is a democratic operative who would not look suspicious talking to Dan Rather. There is no doubt that Dan got the forgeries from his daughter and ran with them - and now he can't come clean because his daughter would be brought up on federal tampering charges. Now CBS is changing it's tune from authentic to accurate. There is no accuracy when you have phony documents, carpet-bag experts, and a sweet old lady who says...

    "...The country doesn't know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence..."John Kerry stated in front of the Congress that America, and more directly the military, have turned the young men fighting in Vietnam into monsters. Recently he has been quoted as saying that he didn't mean the 'Swift Boat' veterans, but the other guys. But, his testimony seems to indicate that anyone who did their duty in Vietnam was a monster; that everyone in Vietnam was a monster. Mr....
