Free Republic

My "Dear George" Letter Sorry, George, but you lost me at Harriet. When a reporter asked you Oct. 4 if Harriet Miers was the most qualified possible candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court and you answered, "Yes þ I picked the best person I could find" ‹ and you did it with a straight face ‹ that was it. I'm done. Check, please! I'm outta here. I am no longer a George W. Bush supporter. As a conservative, I have been bitch-slapped by this man for the last time. Those suffering from "Battered Conservative's Syndrome" will no doubt make excuses...

Wikipedia is an online, user-editable encyclopedia located at en.wikipedia.org/wiki . It has untold thousands of articles, and, unlike paper encyclopedias, it can immediately cover current events. Alexa says it's the 49th most popular web site, so it has a good deal of influence. In reading through some entries, I'm struck by a certain "liberal" bias. Examples can be found in the entries for Bill Bennett, Mike Malloy and other Air America hosts, Media Matters for America, the Minuteman Project, U.S. Immigration, and many others. Thankfully, there's something you can do about this. WP entries can be written and edited by...

Well I was going to put this into some other thread but things have been moving so fast that it is going to be lost and I have been encouraged to give it one of its own. So since this is the first time I've posted like this, I hope I do it all right. I was feeling really frustrated by all the conflicting accounts of how many people were at the anti-war/anti-everything related or not related to Bush protest, that I decided to try to get a closer number based on the picture that came from Reuters of the...

has anyone seen this before? How does this happen?

One must wonder? For a country that has depended for over decade on relief organizations to feed it's people after it's farming system collapsed years ago, All of a sudden to want to stop receiving aid for infrastructures, Must seem strange. Who really benefits from the infrastructures? It is already believed that the food aid doesn't even benefit the poor. As we can see, alot of Koreans are selling their food aid at markets, Alot of the food is being diverted to the soldiers and food rations have been cut many times since it's mostly the North Korean government who...

Is it just me or does anyone else not like the new Free Republice format? There is only about 1\3 of the page for threads. There's all that stuff on the top of the page. I am afraid there won't be room for the ever annoying banner when the "Freep-a-thon" starts next month.

Heck, if the government really is going to spend $200 billion to rebuild New Orleans, they might as well rebuild it as the city of tomorrrow complete with kelp farms, electricity generated by tides, public transportation light as a cloud and efficient and almost noiseless, parks that are nice and safe and clean. It could be a proof-of-concept city for all those innovations you see in the middle of "Popular Science" that are always "just around the corner." I draw the line at dog-walking robots and the bubble dome (for now), but you get my drift, I suppose. Well, I...

I'm curious to know if there are any Bob and Tom show fans here?
