Free Republic

It was supposed to be 14 feet high and topped with razor wire. It was also supposed to send a message to Washington that if the government wouldn't seal off the southern border, volunteers could. Almost two years later, the reality is a five-strand barbed-wire barrier that ranchers dismiss as a mere cattle fence.

A blogger at a Knoxville newspaper ponders a question that may soon be on many minds. Who would you vote for: Fred Thompson or Al Gore? http://blogs.knoxnews.com/knx/silence/archives/2007/06/fred_vs_gore_an.shtml

Ultraviolent War GameIn this war game, you get to destroy Iraqi insurgents, mutants, demons, and more, with a wide variety of weapons. Blast demons with your shotgun, take out a Japanese gunner with your grenade, toast an insurgent with your flamethrower... and watch the body parts scatter! If you like it, be sure to Digg it!

Nazi Prison Break GameHolocaust? What Holocaust??? In this game, you play the part of an evil American agent, caught infiltrating the gentle, peaceful Nazis. You must use your shrewdness and cunning to escape their comfortable detention center. However, if you are caught, the Nazis will lovingly perforate you. (Hope you enjoy it --- I thought it was relevant given Mr. Ahmedinejibjab's assertion that the Holocaust never happened.) Nazi Prison Break Game

Play Be the Missile! It takes a lot of training to become a cruise missile. For example, most cruise missiles have to take classes in theoretical physics, astronomy, aeronautics, and accounting before they can graduate to become the lethal weapons we see on TV. But the most important part of their training is in avoiding obstacles at high speeds. And that's where you come in. Help the missiles fly through the tunnels and avoid the rotating barriers. You'll get five chances to fly all the way through all 9 levels. (I've made it about half-way through level 5.) Be the...

Jihadist ExterminatorYou are the Gunsmith, defender of Liberty. The jihadists have run out of children to hide behind, but they're building a secret weapons factory. Your mission: Use your rifle, dynamite, and combat knife to exterminate the jihadists and destroy the weapons factory. Note that some of the jihadists are pretty stupid and just stand around picking their noses; others are more aggressive and will attack with knives, guns, grenades, etc. Oh, and try not to step in the piles of poop!

You know, I do appreciate the purported goals of Move America Forward, but sometimes I have to wonder whether Michael Moore is running the show, just to make a conservative outfit look inept. First and foremost, when your name -- AND your logo -- say MoveAmericaForward dot org, you do NOT have a voiceover that refers to your organization as MoveAmericaForward dot COM. It'd be like George W. Bush all of a sudden referring to himself as George H. W. Bush or something similarly ridiculous. But you know, even as stupid as that is (and as stupid as it implies...

Here's a fun little game about wreaking havoc on the terrorist forces in Iran: Overkill Apache: Iranian Assault

Regardless of who's in charge, the government can screw up just about anything. As such, here's a selection of images from www.ready.gov (a terrorism-preparedness site), recaptioned for your amusement. Hope you enjoy. http://www.gophergas.com/funstuff/terrorism101.htm

I've gotten a LOT of positive feedback on my poster idea -- THANKS! Now, I'd like to ask for your help in taking it to the next level. I'm hoping to counter some of the emotional propaganda that's being spewed by the left. As such, a poster that uses emotional imagery to help put things into better perspective could help us tip the scales back toward sanity. If you feel that this poster is worthwhile, please copy it and send it to your friends, as well as anyone in the armed services who might like to know that there are...

I'm getting a little tired (okay, I actually got tired a long time ago) of people making such a huge deal over the US death toll reaching the 2,000 mark. All around, we're hearing, "It's not worth the cost! It's not worth the cost!" Well, frankly, I think freedom IS worth the cost. And I think it demeans the sacrifices of our troops to suggest otherwise. To that end, I think it would be neat to start a campaign showing some of the benefits to the war in Iraq. I'm including a "starter" image to get things rolling...

I have an idea for an editorial cartoon that could be used to defend against Cindy Sheehan and her ilk -- while simultaneously showing support for the troops. It might be considered "over-the-top" by some people, and it would probably not be usable by most newspapers... but here's what I'm thinking: The scene: A fresh grave, probably shown at a diagonal so that the headstone can be seen. Headstone reads "Casey Sheehan." On top of the mounded dirt rests a toilet; and perched atop it, pants around her ankles, sits Cindy Sheehan herself. Behind her stands the ghost of a...

'I want my wife, dead or alive' 23/11/2004 22:10 - (SA) Baghdad - British aid worker Margaret Hassan's Iraqi husband said in a front-page message carried by a Baghdad newspaper on Tuesday that he wanted her back "dead or alive", a week after an Arab TV network received footage apparently showing his missing wife being murdered. "I want my wife, dead or alive. If she is dead, I urge you to tell me where she is so that I can lay her to rest," said the appeal by Tahsin Hassan printed in the Al-Mashreq daily. "I beg those who took...

This is something that occurred to me the other day...
