Free Republic

Wow, you ride a bicycle on Buford HWY? You are brave, I’m half afraid to drive on that road.

Fred's house is about 2 miles (and millions of dollars) from mine. When he converted he joined my church and was a member of my mens small group. He is a true Christian that loves the USA. He built the house out of love and spent years researching and working with architects to get a perfect replica. It's not shown in the pictures, but there is a smaller replica of the old Executive Office Building to the right of the house. He uses it as a church and his mission is to help Arab Muslems see the truth and become Christians.
I kind of resent what he is doing in my neighborhood; tearing down beautiful 60’s split-level ranchs and building 6 figure McMansions. But it is capitalism at it's best. Most of his houses are sold before the foundation is poured and he is raising the resale value on my house.

Somewhat liberal viewpoint (in one section he quotes Ward Churchill as an expert on Indian Culture), but overall a good beginning for someone looking a overview into what this hemisphere was like before it was “discovered”.

He does do a good job of debunking the environmentalists view of the Amazon basin as pristine forest.

I just received this email from Sen Chambliss in response to my email about the immigration bill. He sounds firm, hopefully he will stand firm....

Dear Mr. **** :
Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts about immigration reform. I appreciate knowing your thoughts on this important and emotional issue.

Our current immigration system is broken and needs reform. Any reform Congress enacts must meet our national security needs and our economic interests; it must also manage the number of people we admit into the U.S. to ensure American workers and families are not negatively impacted by our immigration system.

The recently announced bipartisan agreement on immigration reform is a step in the right direction toward reaching a final and comprehensive immigration bill. This legislation is a significant improvement over last year’s bill, which I opposed, but this is not a perfect bill. For me to support any final bill, it must contain the following principles that are important to Georgians:

Strong border security before any new immigration programs go into effect in order to prevent future illegal immigration

An employer verification system that can provide employers certainty with respect to the status of potential employees

A meaningful temporary worker program that is truly temporary and does not provide a pathway to citizenship while allowing employers to fill jobs for which insufficient numbers of American can be found, such as agricultural jobs

No amnesty

Our nation’s immigration problem has been in the making for many years and there is no easy fix. I have chosen to be proactive and engaged during the negotiations because my involvement is the right thing for Georgia and the right thing for America ‘s future. As the debate progresses, I will continue the fight to ensure that our nation is secure and our economy continues to thrive.

Claire B Lang did a private interview with him last week at Richmond. Listening between the lines, it seems that DEI is getting closer to a merger with Robert Yates; that will included a switch to Ford. He flat out told her that he could not imagine a number large enough to convince him to drive Fords.

After the interview Claire talked with some well-placed people in the garage and the press. Hendrick seems to be involved, either supplying engines for JR Motorsports or with 'lil E driving. RCR is a long shot. The problem being that JR is leery of the comparisons with his Dad, plus RCR is still not proven to be a championship ready organization.

Personally, I think Joe Gibbs is a fool if there isn't a BUDWIESER #18 on the grid for the 2008 Daytona 500.

There are two Tahoe LT3’s in Arkansas with center bench and 4:10. One is at Carlock Chevy in Blythville (Silver birch) and the other is at Central Chevy in Jonesboro. (Black)
Based on an MSRP of 49,400.00 your supplier price is 44, 9243.41.

You should be eligible for 2000.00 (Incentive code BDV) GM bonus cash, and 1000.00 Consumer Cash (Incentive code DSR). Rebates are by county, and they do change, I would need to know the county you live in to be 100% accurate. I based these rebates on Ashley County with today’s date for delivery. By franchise agreement the dealer MUST give you all applicable rebates and incentives and sell it to you at the supplier price which is stated on the vehicle invoice. If the dealer fails to do so, then they can have their ability to sell employees/suppliers revoked. Any dealer can and should be prepared to show you the invoice to verify the selling price. Customary dealer service charges are allowed and must be charged, in accordance with the dealerships policy of sales to the general public.
Drivers will be paid by the hour, with the average being $10.00/hour plus gas, so you can figure what your transfer fees are.

I hope this helps, I will be happy to answer any other questions.

Thank you for sharing your pictures.

I want to know what happened to her. She hasn't been on the weekend show for a couple of weeks. Hurricanes are not fun, but I do enjoy her reports. She seems like a real person, not an over-poofed talking head.

XM seems to go deeper into the music archives, and the playlists don't repeat as often. Sirrus programs more frequent repeats and concentrates on what's newer.
XM has FNN, CNN, CNN Headline, talk right and talk left(almost as funny as the comedy channels), Weather Channel and TrafficPulse in real time for all the major metro areas of the country.
I've had XM since it was introduced, and I can't travel without it.

They have 12 or 13 dealerships in Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Tennessee and Georgia. The corporation accounts for almost 15% of Chevrolet's annual sales, and they all seem to operate in about the same manner as described.
A few years ago there was a big blowup with Bill Heard over false newspaper advertising in Georgia. The state compliance officer that was bringing the charges against them retired soon after one of the Heard representatives attended a fund raiser for our current governor. All the charges were settled out of court. The compliance officer took a new position doing the same job for the State of Tennessee. I wonder if he is still there.<

"Outside his home, the accused john looked sheepish and was ushered inside by his angry wife, Judith, before he could comment.
"We know what she's saying, and we'll comment later," she said through the family attorney. "You'll get a statement when the statement is ready. It will not be today." "

I tend to agree, but I think someone will be punished. Just not in a court of law.
But then I am used to some people being above the law....I live in Cynthia McKinney's district.

My first contribution,
It's about time I added to the discourse

FEMALE PRAYER:

Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And always be my very best friend.
Amen.

MALE PRAYER:
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge b@@bs
who owns a liquor store and a golf course.
Amen

NA$CAR hasn't been NASCAR for years. I'd rather watch Jr's "Back in the Day" on Speed TV than waste an afternoon watching the current F1-wannabe's whine.

I'm so sad. I was on the Mar 18th to 25th cruise. It is a beautiful ship and the islands were great. I was dragged kicking and screaming off the gangway in Ft. Lauderdale. Unfortunately work and $$ will not permit us to go again this soon.

If anybody has any questions or needs some updated info, post questions here and I will answer them to the best of my ability
