Free Republic

In the 2004 Presidential election the media resorted to lots of clever (if devious) innovations to try and get John Kerry elected. From refusing to call some states for Bush to showing flagrantly slanted exit polls while other states were still voting, the media have been doing everything they can to tip the balance. Already we've seen a CNN debate in which Hillary is asked if she liked diamonds or pearls while the Republicans were treated to questions from Democrat operatives on the same channel. Imagine for the sake of argument that this supposed slump of Hillary's is only a...

Rush Limbaugh called people like Jesse Macbeth and Scott Beauchamp "phony soldiers" mostly because they have to rely on dishonesty to get their anti-war message across. As a result the Senate Democrats in an unprecedented governemental intrusion, issued a letter to Clear Channel's CEO demanding Rush be censured. That letter as most of us know was put on eBay with the idea of generating funds for one of Rush's favorite charities. Rush Limbaugh has pledged to match the funds of the highest bidder which doubles the value of any purchase. As I type, the bidding has reached slightly more than...

It's difficult to see why George Tenet would be so incautious as to write his own self-justifying apologia, let alone give it the portentous title At the Center of the Storm. There is already a perfectly good pro-Tenet book written by a man who knows how to employ the overworked term storm. Bob Woodward's 2002 effort, Bush at War, was, in many of its aspects, almost dictated by George Tenet. How do we know this? Well, Tenet is described on the opening page as "a hefty, outgoing son of Greek immigrants," which means that he talked to Woodward on background....

'We should be fully prepared,' prosecutors say Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Harvey Bryant By JON FRANK, The Virginian-Pilot © December 9, 2006 VIRGINIA BEACH - Not enough manpower and not enough time. The city's top prosecutor gave those reasons last month for not knowing the long, nonviolent record of a teenager and therefore not asking a judge to put him in jail. Two months later, the young man was accused of murder. But a survey of other prosecutors shows that Virginia Beach prosecutors should have known the criminal record of Christopher E. Hagans on Sept. 14, when Hagans was last...

VIRGINIA BEACH - Christopher E. Hagans might have been in jail last weekend, when a woman was killed at a Hilltop shopping center, if prosecutors had asked a judge to put him there based on an earlier theft conviction. Hagans' defense attorney said Wednesday that the judge in that case probably would have kept Hagans in jail if prosecutors had asked. Prosecutors said Wednesday that they didn't ask because they didn't know the extent of Hagans' criminal record. "We should have moved to revoke his bond, had we known these other crimes had been committed," Commonwealth's Attorney Harvey Bryant said...

Its funny how God works sometimes. If you listen to things the way they are meant to be heard you'll catch an awful lot that you used to miss. Today in my Brit. Lit. class we were talking about Tennyson. Specifically we were discussing "The Lotos Eaters" and "Ulysses". It's quite remarkable when I consder the feelings I've been experienceing the more I listen or read about the past election. I try to focus on what I'm doing but instead I keep coming back to the depression that encompasses what is becomming a staggering loss. Then it happened. The words...

I'm a Virginia Freeper looking for some advice. I was at a gunstore in Hampton and I saw a Llama Mini-Max for less than $250. Its a 1911 style gun and it feels really nice in the hands even if it is a little heavy. I've been to the Llama website and read some comments on that wonderful packing.org website and most say that it's an awesome gun for the price. There is a sense of urgency here as my national guard unit is being activated for deployment and I'd kinda like a piece that I can smuggle past the...

Here's to hoping for another 15 years of Excellence in Broadcasting!!!

Michelle Malkin, one of my favorite immigration experts, is on the The Factor tonight! She's talking about a woman who was caught in New York City who married 27 different illegals so they could claim citizenship. She's as brilliant as ever.

The National Review Online website has been hacked. Instead of the regualr website, you get some lunatic message about freedom for Palestine and Iraq. Man I hope they find this guy.

I need some help. I went through basic and AIT at Ft. Benning with a guy whose last name was Halvorson and I'm pretty sure his first name was Eric. I just saw a picture of someone who sorta looked like him on MSNBC with the same name. They said he was killed. I remember he came from oe of the Dakotas or Minnesota. I last saw him two years ago in California but I'd still like to know if it was him. Any help would be appreciated.

This is a thread for people who want to support a nationwide boycott of the Dixie Chicks for their unbelievable statements in another country! Here in Virginia, I have yet to hear any of their songs and wish to keep it that way for a long long time. There are a lot of websites out there with on-line polls that will respond to a good FReepin'. This is the place for FReepers to post links to radio station websites. Let's roll!!!

Townhall meeting in Alexandria taking place right now. Its populated only by hippies giving our people a hard time! God I hate these people.

It's said that the measure of a man can be taken from the character of his enemies. If that's true (and I think it is) then we should have nothing to worry about. Take a look at these cartoons by a paradigm of liberalism: Ted Rall There's plenty more out there. I just grabbed two at random. You can e-mail this guy at chet@rall.com

I'm trying to find a website where I can download Linux without some kind of wierd commitment and a deluge of junk-mail. I've heard its free but I'm really no seeing it...There's a website for this sort of thing right?

Dearest Lord, Today, more of your chosen are coming to you. Grant them the eternal peace and love that we know await all the faithful. Grant their families some respite from the pain they must be feeling.All your followers who die today and every tommorow do not fear death for themselves but for the pain their absence will cause their families. The worst thing the savages can do is kill us. That is not much when we know you await us Lord. Hear our prayer and have mercy on us.

I think I have it fairly well pinned regarding whom is to blame for the present malfeasance in Africa. When the Europeans colonized Africa and set up their own governments, they were establishing a carbon-copy of their own type of government. Now bare with me for a second...I took a look recently at the biographies of every dictator I could think of (major or minor)...one of the things I'd found was that most of them were educated in Paris or somewhere else in France. Now I could be wrong here, but when the Europeans actually left Africa (out of their...

Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Substitute every phrase of "Governor of New York" with President Clinton and I wouldn't be too surprised if the Clintons come to NBC for royalty money!
