Free Republic

<p>Okay, so I thought that I could at least have civil debate with INTELLIGENT conservatives, but after posting under a different name, not only were the responses the equivellant of "UH-UH," but I was denied my rights as a citizen of this great country. It appears to me that Free Republic is not interested in FREE SPEECH! I do love the U.S., I just disagree with the jingoism that followed 9/11. I disagree with our leaders purposfully lying to their citizens in order to go to war. I disagree with going to war against the express directions of the UN which was made to council the nations on these issues. I disagree with the nation's presidency being stolen from the rightful owner, the man who truly won the election. I disagree with that stolen presidency being handed to a C average student who has a criminal record and went AWOL when he was supposed to be serving in the military. I disagree with corporations running the government in the new era of pay to play politics. I disagree with the same corporations that run the country, run the news media. I disagree with conservatives instead of listening to what a liberal has to say, they resort to attacking them with (sometimes) drastic immaturity. I disagree with using religion to get votes. I disagree with religion. I disagree with history being written by the victors. I disagree with with the USA PATRIOT Act not only because anyone can be detained for any reason for any amount of time without a trial with a jury of twelve peers. I disagree with the fact it is called the "Patriot Act" and yet there is nothing patriotic about it. I DO agree with the quote "If you are willing to sacrifice freedom for for security, you deserve neither." I disagree with the civilians in this country not standing up and calling for an impeachment for a president that has done far worse than getting a blow job in the oval office. He has LIED, CHEATED, AND MURDERED. I disagree with everyone being angry at Bill Clinton for smoking marijuana but no one criticizes George W. Bush for DRUNK DRIVING and COCAINE use. I disagree with George W. Bush saying in a nationally televised broadcast, "If you aren't with us, you're with the terrorists." This hurt the feelings of about 60% of New York citizens because they not only lost friends and family in the World Trade Center on 9/11, but they also opposed going to war with Iraq. You can imagine the deranged ultimatum this put on those poor Ameericans who had to choose between those who killed their friends and family and the their better judgment to wait for a UN resolution. I disagree with a $350 billion tax that goes directly to the 1% minority of the wealthy. I disagree with the "No Child Left Behind" policy. Standardized tests don't teach children anything but how to memorize test questions. As a teacher, I can only describe it as leaving every child behind. I disagree with arch conservatives on this website saying that I have AIDS because I am liberal and am into homosexual activites. To clear up your mislead statements of slander. I am heterosexual, I do not have AIDS. I have two healthy children that are beautiful and will be entering school in a year. I love my wife and my country. I don't agree with you...but that doesn't mean I hate you or your thoughts. I encourage them. But please stop reacting to someone that you disagree with in an angry passion of blind ignorance. It doesn't solve anything.</p>

We have often heard this said about Clinton. But what are the facts supporting this. Let's take a look at what this appeaser did: 1) Pass the Omnibus Counter-Terrorism Act of 1995 This bill would provide clear Federal criminal jurisdiction for any international terrorist attack that might occur in the United States; provide Federal criminal jurisdiction over terrorists who use the United States as the place from which to plan terrorist attacks overseas; provide a workable mechanism, utilizing United States District Judges appointed by the Chief Justice, to deport expeditiously alien terrorists without risking the disclosure of national security information...

<p>At a party the other night, five people were talking about their experiences, or those of relatives and friends, while crossing the American border.</p> <p>As law-abiding citizens, they do not begrudge the need for post-9/11 vigilance. They even understand the occasional arbitrariness that might creep into the immigration screening process.</p>

Worth repeating. Although I'm sure you're all too narrow-minded and angry to consider words like these. But... Please remove the word "Free" from your name. You poor folks don't have a clue. Have everyone read the Constitution again... carefully and, perhaps, sober this time. Sad and pathetic.. an wholly UN-American Signed David (Who loves truly American ideals)

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior's birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees Oh hear the angel voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming...

After eluding Oceanian forces for months and vowing never to be taken alive, a disheveled Emmanuel Goldstein was found hiding in a hidden "rathole" near a adobe hut and was captured without firing a shot, even though he was armed with a pistol, bloc authorities announced Sunday.

With VERY few exceptions (thanks to the people that were human and to people that wrote me privately) you people are a bunch of fundamentalist zealots. You aren't conservatives...you're fascists. You make me embarrassed to be a Republican.

In today's world there is a major battle between relegions!! There are so many different types of relegions that some people probably just don't know which one to choose!! Now I've been brought up in a very tight, christian home. And I've been drilled to the max of what's right and wrong!! But lately, I've noticed, that everyone is always going to have a different idea of what they think our pupose is on earth!! Now I'm not saying that I don't like christianity, because i do believe that way, I'm just saying that I'm sick of people not respecting...

Gun— The best type of firearm for today's conservative is a shotgun because it can bring home dinner. The Perazzi MX2000S is one of the finest guns in production. This 20-gauge over-and-under shotgun is perfect for small game hunting. The gun is decorated with the Perazzi name engraved in gold on both sides of the stock. Don't forget to include a small game cookbook. The Perazzi MX2000S retails for $3,900. Steak— This holiday season, treat the right-winger on your list to the best meat in the world, Japanese Wagyu Beef. The Wagyu cow, developed in Japan about a century ago,...

In July 2001, I was in a hopeless situation. I had over over 45,000 dollars in credit card and other unsecured debt and I was making about 1200 dollars a month. In fact I had taken out about 3,000 dollars in check cashing "pay day loans" in a futile attempt to stay caught up with my bills (there is supposed to be a national service which reports abuses of these loans and prevents one from taking so many at the same time; however, I was still able to get loan after loan). It became obvious that I was hopelessly sunk....

<p>People are suggesting teachers should be charged with treason because they criticize the ruling party.</p>

I am a nationally published journalist who has been drafted to challenge George W. Bush in the Republican Presidential primaries, beginning in New Hampshire on January 27. My aim is to prompt legitimate debate and genuine new ideas, but I start with a question: HAS GEORGE W. BUSH BETRAYED TRADITIONAL GOP VALUES? He has failed in his promise to control spending. Nondefense spending has skyrocketed under Bush. The Congressional Budget Office reported that for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, nondefense spending rose 7% – nearly double the 4% discretionary spending caps Bush promised to enforce (Source: Washington Times)....

If there is one thing that I find shocking in so many self-proclaimed conservatives is their fear of any legislation that lends itself to bettering the lives and conditions of their fellow-countrymen. The idea of a national healthcare program, as an example, stiffens their backs, ices up their blood and throws them into paroxysms of terror. "We are moving towards socialism", becomes the outcry. Is it that we would be moving towards socialism or towards a more humanitarian way of dealing with the health needs of the general public. Do insurance companies and drug companies need to increase their wealth...

Subject: Don't let Bush question your patriotism Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 19:24:07 -0500 From: "Democratic Party" dnc-002Nf03W5y@mailer.democrats.org To: "Jim Robinson" webmaster@freerepublic.com GOP Revs Up Attack Machine Dear Jim Robinson, This time, they have gone too far. We know Republicans are willing to politicize the attacks of September 11. Karl Rove explicitly told them to do so in the 2002 elections, and the Republicans even sold a September 11 picture of George W. Bush to raise money. But now the Bush attack machine has crossed the line again. The RNC has released an advertisement that questions our Democratic candidates' commitment...

She calls out to the man on the street, "Sir, can you help me? It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep. Is there somewhere you can tell me?" He walks on, doesn't look back, he pretends he can't hear her He starts to whistle as he crosses the street, seems embarassed to be there Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you and me in paradise Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you, you and me in paradise Just think about it She calls out to the man on the street, he can see she's been crying...

It has come to my attention that the recent tax cuts given by President Bush, have given liberals fuel to critisize the conservative agenda. The reds seem to think that Mr. Bush has foolishly given the majority of his tax break, financially speaking, to those who need it the least. It is my opinion that these monies, as allocated, are more beneficial to the economically challenged then they are capable of realizing, and therefore serve them in ways that they are incapable of concieving. For intance, I, myself, have been liberated from the democratic levy and have alot more funds...
