Free Republic

It's time to nationalize all elections and attack the Democratic party as an institution as well as going after individual candidates. The whimpy Republicans can't stand up to the Democratic PC police , they need a grass roots infusion of spine. The infusion works by independent issue oriented add campaigns. Feel free to throw in your 2 cents worth after I describe the basic concept. Commercial opens with cute kids jumping rope or playing on the playground, Fade in newborn with male and female parents, the US military, A family farm, pristine wilderness. Voice over says, "THE DEMOCRATS CLAIM THEIR...

I didn't have my senses offended by watching the SuperBowl half time show on Sunday. I don't watch football period. However, I haven't been able to avoid hearing about the aftermath of it. Judging from the reaction on all the talk shows on radio , from Art Bell to Rush, the NFL did not do itself any favors. The supurb game is not the talk around the water cooler. The talk is Janet Jackson's middle aged boob and the poor quality of both the half time show and the commercials. Since the FCC , CBS and the NFL is going...

The Leftist extremists now in charge of the Democratic Party are either so desperate or delusional they are now comparing this nation to Hitler’s Third Reich and the president to Hitler himself. The Moveon.org Voter Fund has sponsored a commercial ‘contest’ encouraging people “to help us find the most creative, clear and memorable ideas for ads that tell the truth about George Bush's policies.” Two of those submissions ran on the Moveon.org site and directly compared George W. Bush to Hitler and this nation’s policies with the Third Reich. Upon seeing the ad, one has to ask, do they really...

All the networks on Tuesday night ran stories on how some pro-Saddam Iraqis rioted in protest of his capture, with CBS’s Kimberly Dozier reporting that “even many who suffered under Saddam have mixed feelings. His fall has brought American occupation and an uncertain future. And also, a measure of shame. Few can fathom that the man who terrified them for so long now seems so small.” She contended that “Saddam Hussein also gave Iraqis dignity and pride. He became a symbol of defiance across the Arab world.” The CBS Evening News, however, followed up with a piece from Thalia Assuras...

Fri January 9, 2004 07:06 PM ET By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles man who allegedly offered to circumcise young girls for undercover FBI agents posing as their parents was arrested along with his girlfriend on Friday in what prosecutors said was the first U.S. case of its kind. Todd Cameron Bertrang and Robyn Faulkinbury -- who prosecutors say met with undercover FBI agents to arrange circumcisions for two fictitious girls -- were taken into custody at their home outside Los Angeles. "The evidence we uncovered about (Bertrang's) lack of medical knowledge and the lack of...

Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean may have grown up on tony Park Avenue and summered with the swells at East Hampton's then-whites-only Maidstone Club, but his mother, Andree Maitland Dean, insists her son's roots are practically working class. "Howard didn't have the least bit of a glamorous upbringing," Ma Dean told the New York Times last week. "When I was growing up, we didn't even treat the servants like servants." Sitting in her humble multimillion-dollar Upper East Side digs, Mrs. Dean told the Times that every time she had a baby, she'd be forced to convert the dining room into...

Old Europe’s head has exploded with rage, and I say good! Old Europe is mad and in the midst of throwing a temper tantrum, its arms flailing and feet dragging the floor. France, Germany and other countries too self-absorbed, politically inept and globally backward to help support the War on Terror in Iraq, are just shocked that the Pentagon has barred countries who opposed the war from bidding for some of that $18.6 billion in reconstruction contracts. Money, money, money. That’s what it’s all been about for them. They supported Iraq because there was money . Saddam owes Old Europe...

Here it is 12 days to Christmas, I only have 5 off days before Christmas. This Thanksgiving weekend I my beloved Dog passed away. My traditional days to start my cookie baking was given over to grief. I have yet to buy a single Christmas gift. As I visit with you lovely Freepers between emergency calls my co-workers have played Christmas Carols all day. They just played a personal favorite of mine " Mary Did You Know". As usual I teared right up. In the spirit of the Season. Looking for contributions on the Best Christmas Carol Ever.

I have recently lost a beloved Labrador mix after almost 15 years of living in her house. I will miss Brittany the wonder dog forever but I have done the grieving thing to death and I think I am ready to room with another dog. My Brit was a mix with a Black Lab and a long haired bounder. Her personality was a delight but I don't know if it was her labrador part, the bounder part or a mix between the 2. I have previously had a neurotic cocker and just the sight of the breed makes me cringe....

So thank goodness Rush has triumphantly returned this week from drug rehabilitation to his rightful place behind the EIB Golden Microphone. And thank goodness his audience has in no way deserted him; indeed, the ratings indicate that his popularity are higher than ever. We conservatives hate the sin, but love the sinner. For liberals, it is just the opposite. It's especially heartening in listening to Rush this week that he hasn't taken any of the sting out of his whip. His latest tirade against the awful Medicare prescription-drug bill is a sanity check countering the GOP spin machine — a...

Since I am on a high considering the partial birth abortion vote and Terri getting her tube put back in. I am beginning to believe in miracles again. Since I am thinking about things I would never believe could happen , what about some cuts in the federal budget that we thought could only happen in our fantasy world. My first to places to cut out entirely would be any and all funding for NPR, Amtrack, and The fund for the arts. Either they are self sufficient by the end of the fiscal year or all assetts are sold off.

The ‘Psychology’ of Liberals Joan Swirsky Thursday, Oct. 23, 2003 A bully beats up your friend’s child in the schoolyard. You feel terrible for the kid who got the black eye and call his parents to encourage them to give their kid lessons in self-defense and insist that the principal punish the offender. But to your astonishment, the parents are not mad at the bully! They actually seem to feel more empathy with him than they do with their own child. “He shouldn’t be punished,” they say. “You have to ask yourself what made him do it? Besides, if the...

You guys have done it now. I have very contentedly been a lurker since the 2000 election. I have felt like this was my other home but some members are posting comments about Rush that make's me think this site has been taken over by Move On.com. 1)What ever happened to innocent till proven guilty. Rush is being tried and convicted in the mainstream press and being beaten up on like a yellow dog and all I see from loads of you guys is the same. 2)Rush is the father of the Conservative Voice in the media. Of course he...
