SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Lisa Fay doesn't agree with the war in Iraq, but she's joining the Army anyway. A four-year stint, the Oceano teen said, will allow her to receive the training she needs to become a mental health specialist, which could lead to a career in social services. When he enters the Army next spring, Jason Scaroni already will have a degree in computer science from Cal Poly. But he would like the Army to pay off his student loans. The Army will pay up to $65,000 in school loans. Scaroni has around $30,000. "So that will...

Hey Dad- I'm trying to download a story about the near capture of Saddam and his bodyguard, but these are the slowest computers I've ever used. I am thankful that I have them though!!! I wish my company had taken part in the raid on Saddam's sons compound. While you all were boozing it up on the 4th of July, my platoon took part in a raid. We captured a Colonel that was in the Republican Guard. Apparently he was responsible for a number of attacks against the Army. We captured a few others as well. The colonel literally crapped...

<p>Republican lawmakers railed against Sen. Tom Daschle Tuesday after the Senate minority leader said that President Bush's diplomatic failures had forced the United States to go to war with Iraq.</p> <p>"I was disappointed to see Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle's comments regarding the upcoming military action in Iraq," House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said in a statement.

This is a riot! Sean Hannity has former U.S. Congressman John LeBoutillier on and he is going to build, along with a group of other people, the "Counter-Clinton Library" which will be practically next door to Clinton's $200 million+ Library. He has the permits, the lease, and the building ready to go. LOL! He says that Clinton's library will be an edifice devoted to Spin and a monument to what he wants his legacy to be. It will also serve as a means for getting Hillary elected. It ought to be called the Clinton Lie-brary. Boutillier's Counter-Clinton Library devoted to...

The wind began to blow at exactly 8:46 a.m., when the city was hushed for a frozen minute of silence. The wind was fierce and sudden, driving from the west across harbor and river, pushing violently through the spaces between buildings. The wind streamed into the 16 acres where the World Trade Center once stood. It turned an American flag attached to a construction crane into a flat, colored rectangle. It made flags lashed to buildings flap and billow and strain against their cords. Hats flew off. Old people held onto the young. The wind blew without remorse, indifferent to...

The weather in the New York City area - it's amazing! I live 50 miles north of NYC and work 30 miles north of NYC. Yesterday was hot and a bit muggy. This morning it was much the same. I heard on this morning's weather report that it would clear up somewhat and climb into the 80's - nothing to write home about. But, mid-morning, an unexpected breeze began to blow which gradually turned into strong, gusty winds. The sky cleared to one one of those most, rare, deep crystal blues with beautiful, puffy, autumn clouds sailing across the sky....

Greetings, Fellow Freepers… With all the ever-increasing assaults on America over the years coming from the Left, I was inspired to write down the things that I, as an American, believe in. I put a web page together listing these things As an American, I believe. I was hoping that members of Free Republic would add to what I have come up with. I will put your statements on the web page along with your screen name, and the date. I will also use your real name if you would prefer that. As an American, I believe… America is the...

I didn't catch his name, but yesterday afternoon, I heard Sean Hannity speaking to a caller who is heavily involved with Free Republic. I'm paraphrasing as closely as I can recall Sean's actual words: "I love Freepers. During the elections when others were ready to just give up, you guys got out there and fought and kept up the pressure. I loved the way Freepers gathered in front of the Vice-President's home and yelled 'Get out of Dick Cheney's House!'"

A Synopsis: Clinton Set the Stage for 911 Bruce Tackett American Veterans, February 1, 2002 Bill Clinton, through eight years of various actions and in-actions, set the stage for the unspeakable horror that visited this nation on September 11, 2001. The 1993 Somalia debacle, in which eighteen U.S. Soldiers lost their lives, can be directly attributed to Clinton’s lack of military understanding. Having never served in the military himself, in fact, having taken steps to avoid serving his country at all, he had no concept of what was needed for a successful military action. Immediately following the disaster in...

Bill Clinton, through eight years of various actions and in-actions, set the stage for the unspeakable horror that visited this nation on September 11, 2001. The Somalia debacle can be directly attributed to Clinton’s lack of military understanding. Having never served in the military himself, in fact, having taken steps to avoid serving his country at all, he had no concept of what was needed for a successful military action. Immediately following the disaster in Somalia, Clinton simply pulled up steaks and got out. We ran. Concerning Iraq, Madeleine Albright, Clinton’s appointed apologist, recently stated that we should have taken ...

MENTION national identity cards, and absolutists on the right and left go into a tizzy. "It'll be like Nazi Germany," say the liberals. "America will be indistinguishable from the Soviet Union," warn the conservatives. This is hysteria. In the first place, let's not kid ourselves: A modern society cannot function without some form of identity papers. Ours could not and does not. We have identity cards, but they are far too easy to get and to counterfeit. I speak, of course, of the driver's license. A driver's license is necessary to cash a check, open a bank account, obtain a ...

Dear Freepers, The pics are finally in! Back in November a very wonderful lady from Texas, Colleen Castillo, notified Free Republic that there is an ailing Vietnam Veteran who has very little and she suggested that sending him Christmas Cards would brighten up his Christmas. She and her husband, Cisco, look out for this former Marine sniper. Well, what started out as a simple plea by a lady with a good heart turned into a cause celebre'! The response from Freepers was overwhelming! Not only that, but the media picked up on it as well, and Richard Workman was mentioned ...

To: The United States Congress & President Bush Firefighters from across the United States have come to the aid and rescue of those impacted by the September 11th Attack on America. On that day and everyday in America, countless firefighters bravely traded their lives for someone else's. In honor of the bravery, courage and determination demonstrated by American firefighters, we the undersigned, believe that our nation should set aside at least a single day to mark and honor their hard work and commitment to public safety. We urge the United States Congress to immediately designate a Nation Firefighter's Day so ...
