Free Republic

Cruz is speaking to the GOP. He can't bring himself to say vote for Trump. The audience is booing him. Cruz the luzer needs to go back to Canada.

For years, I have slow roasted a turkey for Thanksgiving. I bake it at 180 degrees for an estimated time of one hour per pound. This rule has worked for 25 years. Tonight, the thermometer is rising about twice as fast as usual. I put a second thermometer into the bird to check the first. I put an oven thermometer into the over to check its temperature. I found no disparities in the thermometers. Something is different with this bird. It's from Whole Foods, no hormones. I've gotten my turkeys from them for years. What's going on with my turkey?

Lately, reading news links from Free Republic is getting insufferable. It seems that 95 percent of the news sources are mined with scripts and the like that want access to your computer or run time consuming ads. Trying to figure out the security settings for IE browser has become a real challenge. I think I need to hire a full time IT expert just top read the news. Does anyone know of a web source that can help me get the best settings to stop the sneaks but yet still allow me ample access to these sites?

I'm listening to chuck bagel talk to troops. Eyes are glazed over in the audience. He is one of the most uninspiring speakers I have ever heard. God help us if we are ever attacked.

On Friday, April 19, 2013, Metropolitan Boston was under pseudo martial law as law enforcement hunted the Boston Marathon bomber fugitive. Residents were notified to stay indoors until further notification. The map linked below shows the extent of the lockdown. Link text The target of the search area lay within the eastern portion of Watertown highlighted in red on the linked map. Throughout the day the active hunt was confined to an area in eastern Watertown of an area about a half mile diameter. Law enforcement had good reason to believe the fugitive was within the search area. In the...

Why is my computer repeating free Republic posts? Ever since Free Republic came bace form the last server failure, the stream of posts have reoccuring posts.

Traditional Scottish Songs - The Deil's Awa' Wi' Th' Exciseman Robert Burns worked as an exciseman, or customs officer, in Dumfries. While he was apparently good at his job, he would be well aware that tax collection and chasing after smugglers was not always popular! It has been suggested that Burns wrote this song while waiting for reinforcements before boarding a smugglers's ship. He certainly sang it - at an excisemen's dinner - a month after such an incident. The Deil's Awa' Wi' Th' Exciseman The Deil cam fiddlin' through the toun And danced awa' wi' th' exciseman, And ilka...

A catastrophic water break put 2 million Bay Staters under emergency conservation and boil orders in 38 communities this afternoon. “This is everyone’s worst nightmare in the water community,” said Massachusetts Water Resources Authority Executive Director Fred Laskey. “It’s very important we handle this right.”

It's snowing just outside of Boston. The glaciers will be here soon. We are doomed unless we can get a world class global warming blowhard to visit us.

Is it my imagination? I keep hearing on talk radio how Obama is changing this nation, how he is changing the Constitution, restructuring the government, taking our guns, spending our money, and so on. Am I missing something? For any of these changes, he needs the support of Congress. HE NEEDS CONGRESS you talking heads. We can't vote Obama out until 2012. We can vote a lot of Congress out in 2010. Why are the talking heads not singling out the misdeeds of particular Congressional members to get the public to vote right in 2010? Conservatives lack organization. Note to...

WRKO Radio Boston now has an ex-politician running a morning talk show. This ex pol was convicted of lying to a jury in a redistricting scheme. He has special protection that only Democrats enjoy, although they get convicted, they don't do time. You know, like Sandy Burglar. Instead, he gets a lucrative talk radio show, Finneran’s Felons Forum. The big rub is the idiots or left wing hit men have now signed up the Boston Red Sox. They are preempting the station’s biggest attraction, Boston’s long time talk show journalist, Howie Carr. Are the station managers idiots or is the...

As the ashes of the Republican Party settle in the 2006 election, I detect a new low for George Bush. Mind you, I have not counted the number of positive or negative views posted about Bush in Free Republic or heard on Talk Radio, but I get the distinct impression Bush support has dropped precipitously. Am I the only one who sees this? So far, Bush is associating these losses solely on Iraq. Dismissing Rumsfeld and installing Gates is a fig leaf. Bush is just reassigning a Bilderberger with a Council of Foreign Relations hack. Bush is wearing the traditional...

Bush was asked about immigration reform in today's press conference. He responded thanks for reminding him. This is one of the topics he wants to urgently talk about with Pelosi. He now thinks we can pass meaningful reform. Thank you Mr. President. I need Amnesty. I just love having hordes of Spanish speaking imigrants taking all the medical benefits tha Americans don't want, collecting all the welfare, causing all the auto accidents, committing all the murders that Americans just don't want to be bothered doing. The silver spoon Bush legacy is screw the working poor and the middle class and...

In the past year I have watched the killing of a perfectly good Talk Radio station, WRKO in Boston. It used to have a first rate line up of talk shows 24 hours a day usually sticking it to the Democrats. Last year, Entercom began making changes. They started playing sports several evenings a week, Then they changed the format but not the younger personalities of other local programs. The format went from politics to stupid stuff like what's happening locality, more like having local small time businesses get on with crap that is much like infomercials. They took John...

March 26, 2005 President George W. Bush White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President, It now appears that Terri Schiavo has no champions. She will soon die. This is a win for the advocates of euthanasia and a loss for America. When we give up trying as a society we begin dying. The Europeans are a good example. Just two years ago the French couldn’t be bothered to halt their vacations to take care of their elderly parents who died by the tens of thousands in a heat wave. All they care about are their vacations, short work weeks, and...

I just phoned Judge Whittemore's office and left a message for his judicial assistant, Kristin Esposito, Judicial Assistant, 813/301-5880. I said the following: Judge James Whittemore could make a Solomonesque decision in the Terri Schiavo case by not restoring the feeding tubes but by permitting caring people to feed her by mouth. If she is truly brain dead, she will die. If she is not, she could demonstrate her will to live. As I didn't reach the Judge, I'm afraid he will make a bad decision. Perhaps, if you agree with me, you could broadcast this idea. Maybe someone will...

John Flipping Kerry is the most ungracious bastard I have ever seen. I remember in his 1994 Massachusetts senate race victory speech over James Rappaport, he said his victory was like the old 60's song, "Money Can't Buy You Love." He said this to his followers as to mean money can't buy you a senate seat. Rappaport is the son of a wealthy developer. Fast forward 10 years after Kerry has won a trophy billionairess, actually a toad, and he is on the losing end of the presidential race by 3,000,000 popular votes, and he wants to play a new...

For a month now ever since the talking heads in the lame stream news media said Kerry won the first debate, I have been hearing two consistent mantras of the left. One is that Kerry is gaining and passing Bush in the polls. The second is that the pollsters say the race is a statistical dead heat. Given a month’s time has passed, these statements have become at odds with each other. How long can one gain and not be within the margin? My brain is throbbing from all of this Kerry chanting. I remember in the not so distant...

He had so much hate in his eyes." Kangaroo like this one accused of aggravated battery (photo courtesy Spinifex Safaris) That's what 48-year-old Sylvia Aldren said after being pummeled and flayed by a kangaroo in the Australian state of Queensland. "I can still see his big, beady eyes, like you see in a Martian video," she told the Brisbane Courier-Mail. Aldren, from the town of Burpengary, suffered a large puncture wound on her neck as well as claw marks all over her body from today's frenzied attack. "My nightie was covered in blood and there are paw marks on the...
