  • A Letter to the Left

    Okay, I've had it. I'm finished with the loony Left. Polarization, the political gap between liberal and conservative, is now a canyon without a bridge. When liberals took power riding Obama's bandwagon of popularity, they went crazy with lust for dominance. I kept my mouth shut as legions of my fellow Americans (some even close friends) turned zombie, talking glassy-eyed about their Dear Leader as if he were their democrat messiah. Converts to political activism, these people were formerly NOT involved or politically AWARE, so they over-compensated with childish enthusiasm. It was hard to watch as the media and the...
  • Letter I sent to GOP dot com

    This is free advice, but it is NOT worthless. Read on. You guys need help BIG TIME. If you have a committee that ponders strategies for reaching distinct demographic pockets with the GOP message, that is good. It is MUCH needed, because many "assumed" democrat niches would be shocked to hear/see/read about the policies their democrat party supports. They need educating. I know from personal experience (born American-Irish democrat Catholic) that many people simply are expected to vote democrat, it's tradition. As you know, this lazy tradition stands in the way of republican party's platform acceptance. These traditionally "democrat voting...
  • Dems: Embarrassed Yet?

    Dems: Embarrassed Yet? Seriously, the embarrassment of being Democrat must be killing you by now. It's not so bad that you went into a collective tantrum when Bush took office after your favorite race baiters insisted that blacks were disenfranchised. Several investigations, run by your minions, concluded that the count in Florida STILL went to Bush and that not one person could be found to have been turned away or intimidated from voting. All that whining seems ages ago. Now, the absurd and insulting antics of the Democrat Party have reached a zenith. Forget, for a moment, that your candidate...

    I stood behind the baracade next to a Vietnam Vet, a Marine who was crying between shouts of "God Bless You!", as young soldiers paraded by. Similar shouts of Thank You were heard all around, as the huge crowd clapped for active US military, reserves, WW2 vets, Vietnam vets, medal of honor recipients, flying aces and much more. He apparently felt this parade was for him, too, and it was. Obviously, the crowd was belatedly thanking all Viet-era vets for their service. When the annnouncer related of the drama of a 'Nam hero riding in a classic Detroit convertible, the...
  • Flag is Divisive in post 9/11 World

    Flag is Divisive in post 9/11 World. It's no great skill, but I work hard at listening to ranting liberals without interrupting. I suppress my urge to correct them. I clench my teeth and shut up. And it's harder than you might imagine. These people are my friends and sometimes my family, nice folks from whom I do not want to become estranged. But the stuff I hear shocks me. One pal confides that he has evolved a hatred of the American flag, since 9/11. At first, he says, the overt flag waiving that popped up after the terrorist attack...

    I'm sorry, but someone has to voice it: the little guy had it coming. Sucker punching a man 110 pounds your better is unwise, and the little antagonist Micheal Costin was in the wrong in the heated exchange that claimed his life.At first, I was going along with the dominant media, insisting that this Sports Rage is out of hand and that the killer was a bully who should get the electric chair. But, being a Freeper, I have learned to check my emotional response to "big stories" and get more information before I choose sides. I wanted to hate ...
  • Hunter S. Thompson emerges from slumber

    I wrote to espn.com:It's good to hear from Hunter S. Thompson after all this time. I notice he doesn't provide any way to respond to him, which is in character for him. He is a recluse of sorts, and that I understand.My problem with the good Doctor: where the hell has he been during the Clinton years? At the outset of the Clinton era, way back in 93, he warned us in Rolling Stone about the impending evil. To quote HST:" You'd think after grappling with Richard Nixon that you would know where the low road is, but Clinton's treachary ...
  • These Govt Workers Sure Keep Short Hours!

    Am I crazy, or we forever waiting for government employees to get back to work so that we can get our nation back? Now, admittedly, as a business owner, I probably work too many hours when there's a mishap or a crisis.... My regular week is 60 hours and crisis weeks are 80. Any business owner knows this, and there are many here at FR. And many "holidays" are only for those lucky enough to work for somebody else. But, Sheeesh! You govt workers have gotta put in the emergency hours RIGHT NOW. This thing has been infuriating! As soon ...

    Excuse me, but was I the only one bored silly during two hours of FSC testimony? Sheeesh! Despite the relatively strong showing by Barry Richard, what we mostly heard was a parade of mealy-mouthed attorney types mewling over minutiae. While I'm sure that is normally what these proceedings look like in the real world, I was dissappointed. Isn't there one guy with a personality? Where is one of those barrel chested Good Ole Boys with the Down South diction when we need one? A big Foghorn Leghorn who opens with: " Now, yer Honor, I'm just a simple ole country ...

    I've been good. I really have. Bit my lip for eight years. I've watched patiently while the talking heads and my liberal friends gushed about Hillary and Bill, while they danced to " Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow" and did the Macarena like the doofs they are. I held my tongue during unrelenting insulting emotional appeals, during Hillary's Vast Right Wing Conspiracy remarks, during Bill's pathological displays of victimhood and Carville's evil slander campaigns. Enough. If this election goes down like it appears it will, with Bush replacing the Dixie Mafia and Pubs controlling things in Congress... I'm gonna do ...

    Hillary: Truly the Perfect Wife We men were afraid of feminism for no reason. We imagined that a sexless, prim career driven woman was a poor choice in a female, but now we see the logic. It's finally come around. As men, we stood by helplessly as the icon of the Modern Woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton, captured the imaginations of our wives, girlfriends, and certainly the press. We bit our tongues as praise for the " smart, aggressive, professional" prototype was gushing forth. To us men, she looked like the Ice Queen of our nightmares. To most everybody else, she ...
