Free Republic

Most of you know the drill. Get your first cup o' coffee and head on over to your PC or laptop. Maybe you wait until you get home from work and grab your favorite beverage. OR you log on at work in between... You fire up Free Republic. Check your messages and freepmails with your good buds. Then strap yourself in for the fireworks -- oh, I mean that in a good way. Then lock and load for threads on your favorite issues. Launch a few salvos. Have a few laughs. Commisserate. Vent. Love. Hate. Learn. (And learn humility --...

This is truly one of the great tragedies of our time. DUmmie trumad is leaving DUmmieland and inflicts us with his bizarre reasons for doing so as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Farewell DU! It's been one hell of a run!” So let us now read trumad’s fond farewell and the DUmmie responses in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wishing a bon voyage to trumad, is in the [brackets]: Farewell DU! It's been one hell of a run! [Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee...

For all of those who have called me every imaginable name because I dare to suggest that there are some things worse than death...I don't wish you on you anything that poor woman goes through on a minute by minute basis. Because you know so much, and are so sure that you are right because you are all so freakin self-righteous...I'm leaving FreeRepublic because I no longer want to be a part of something that has become so twisted. Hannity is right, this website has been hijacked. It was a good run...but we'll find another place. Save your jabs, I...

Hi Jim, Looks like Illegal Immigration and Amnesty is going to be your downfall, and the downfall of FR if you don't change your ways. I hope it is not the downfall of the conservative movement. Or is that what you wanted? Your story is all over the web, and many people now know the truth. I kept my account here for just this occassion. Go ahead and ban me and prove your critics correct. I reported abuse (name calling, personal attacks etc.)from your favorites, and I was the one that was suspended. The jig is up Jim, and you've...

How does a registered forum member go about closing out/canceling their registration? Although I wasn't here much I am spending to much time online and I no longer wish to post anywhere on the net so I need to know how to do this?

Ben Stein's Last Column... For many years Ben Stein has written a biweekly column for the online website called "Monday Night At Morton's." (Morton's is a famous chain of Steakhouses known to be frequented by movie stars and famous people from around the globe.) Now, Ben is terminating the column to move on to other things in his life. Reading his final column is worth a few minutes of your time. Ben Stein's Last Column... (read all of this or you will have missed the best). ============================================ How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's...

I decided to change my ways. After a lot of soul searching, I've realized that the GOP does not have my best interests in mind. I can no longer support an administration and a party that cannot look beyond the immediate future and see the long-term consequences of their actions. I've thought about where this administration's policies will leave me and my future family in 30, 40, 50 years....and I do not like the picture. I never thought I would say this, but I'm turning blue. While some of you may call me a jackass, I am now proud to...

OK! I give up! At the risk of being told that I'm wasting everyones time here. Can someone please tell me W.I.T.H. a "ZOT" is and what is the significance of the kittens/cats that seem to be mandatorily displayed with any discussion of a zot?

For the past several months, fate has conspired to keep me away from the computer. I haven't posted nearly as much on FR as I used to. With the holidays, though, I've had an opportunity to catch up a bit. What I found on my return is a bit disconcerting. While there's always been an element here that refuses to reason and does little more than insult Democrats and RINOs, it seems that this mentality has taken over a large portion of our membership. I've encountered more shrill, radical nonsense in the past couple of days than I had in...

Today marks the long-awaited, speculated-about, unabashed return of Steve Dallas to comics pages. While he's a bit older, he certainly is no wiser, according to cartoonist Berkeley Breathed's publicist.Breathed has received hundreds of letters and e-mails requesting Steve's comeback since Opus began a year ago.

yesterday i posted my first message on the free republic website i may of got some things wrong but it was my first thread. I dont think i will post another because of the more than harsh reply i got. goodbye

Released: November 08, 2004 Mea Culpa: I am a Pollster, Not a Predictor By John Zogby Okay, I got it wrong. And I got it right. Last May, I did indeed say that John Kerry would win and, if he didn’t, it would be his fault. Please understand that I wasn’t saying this as a partisan but as a historian of elections. I did not have a horse in this race. For those of you so kind to point out that my brother is on the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee, you need to understand that he was...

Four More Years! Now with George W. Bush being re-selected as President of the United States, what have we got to look forward to in the next four years? Four more years of a bloated Federal Governnment Beauracracy, social programs and Department of Education.Four more years of money going to special interest groups like the National Endowment for The Arts, and PBS.Four more years of out-of control spending, the likes of which have not been seen since the days of LBJ's "Great Society" socialist welfare programs.Four more years of increasing surveillance, and decreasing liberties thanks to Orwellian legislation like the...

Greetings denizens of the Democratic Underground. This message is what is called an 'Opus'. It is basically a resignation of sorts. But it also gives me a chance to take a parting shot at you all before I am banned from here for telling you exactly what I think of you...and this place. I came here out of curiosity from FreeRepublic.com and have been registered here for some months and have been watching, reading, posting to get a better sense of exactly who you all are. I also registered here knowing full well that George W. Bush would win this...

This is not a vanity post, it is the plain truth. As 'flagthefly' I posted a link to a BBC article about an investigation by the most respected medical magazine in the world, which had some unpleasant things to say about the real number of dead in Iraq. My thread got pulled after 2 replies. This has changed my opinion on this site by 180 degrees for now. Why is it not possible to post a link to news about an independent scientific investigation? If this counts as 'freedom', then I'd like to be jailed forever, that would be a...

<p>Buh Bye former great Freerepublic, home of wannabe conservativ idiots, GESTAPO-like Mods and NAZIs. This once great forum has been trashed over the past three years like never before and I’m GLAD that these fucking MOD’s banned me today. If we loose this Election, then FR will be a part in this disaster. No freedom of speech, no real conservatives anymore, it’s a catastophical failure like our President said correctly, hehe… Just like fucking Germany back in 1933, Brownshirts all over the place. I’m puking, little boys.</p>

You know, I've been a member of FR since before the 2000 election. I have not always agreed with the posts of the male-dominated membership in FR, but I have appreciated the positions of each and every one of you. But it has become very clear to me during this 2004 campaign why many women cannot embrace the conservative and/or Republican agenda. I have been since Nixon, and will remain one despite the predominance of the sexist condescension of a large group of Republican men. So let's get down to the bare bones of the situation, okay? And I really...

To my friends on FR, I just wanted to say thanks and good bye; no offense to anyone here. Other matters require my attention right now, so, take care and God bless. Sincerely, summer

To All: First of all I posted something that appeared to be in favor of our President. As far as the validity of the story, well that has to be approved or disproved. I didn’t think that by posting this story would generate such negative feelings against me. As far as the one who called me a coward I beg the differ with you My posting some of my reply’s was not to hide my comments but to reply directly to the individual without getting everyone else involved that shared other than negative opinions .I did not deserve all the...

The purpose of FreeRepublic.com's multiple message boards is to limit the topics for each board to particular topics. Posting the same message on all the boards defeats the purpose of multiple-boards for special topics. It is very annoying to see the same message on every bulletin board. PLEASE! DO THE READERS A FAVOR. STOP CROSS-POSTING YOUR MESSAGES!
