Free Republic

<p>In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the name of Canty.. oh wait, that’s not how this goes. Let’s try again.</p>

The Fall of Jim Robinson’s Free Republic Website I want to report and expose a devious and vicious campaign that is currently underway on the so-called “premier” site on the Internet for conservatives, Free Republic. Ironically, the target of this campaign is fellow…conservatives, especially conservative bloggers, completely removing any justification from Free Republic for promoting this kind of action. I moonlight as a conservative blogger, though I write for Examiner, which is a news website run by the Clarity Media Group. I have been familiar with Free Republic for several years, and I had been lurking there since about 2003...

The Quarterback Courtesy of Cathy Craddock The coach had put together the perfect team for the Detroit Lions. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan .. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.

Editor: They've done quite a job on the Catholic Church already. Does anyone remember when Richard Nixon discussed one of the redeeming features of the Soviet Union as being its antipathy of homosexuals when he was talking in his office about Archie Bunker, said exactly the same thing? [Warning, fowl language, blasphemy] At first he starts demurring, saying he has no moral objections to homosexuality, then goes on to say that the immorality actually destroys societies. It's also interesting that Nixon's off-color comments are made much of when figures like Gandhi and Voltaire get away with it. Of course, apologists...

Today, some of the Pimpbusters held a social event at Blogger Overlord Central Command (BOCC.) One of the topics discussed (and tested) was new and innovative techniques for Blogpimp Deterrent Systems (BPDS). Please see the video here. Excerpt. Read more at Just kidding! No excerpt! We're not blogpimps.

Blogpimp songs Song of the Pimp (to the tune of Jingle Bells) Trolling on FR, And looking for blog hits, When folks tell me to stop, I throw hissy fits I detest all the complaints, By others who too freep, I wish they’d go to h***, Oh I wish they’d *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* Chorus: Oh plagiarize! Plagarize! And pimping my blog too! I am a stinkin’ blogpimp, And that is what I do! (repeat chorus) Blogpimps on FR (tune: The Wheel on the Bus) Oh the blogpimps on FR go Pimp pimp pimp, Pimp, pimp, pimp, Pimp, pimp, pimp,...

Last Saturday the Madison, WI police department responded to a 911 call about five men openly carrying holstered handguns near a Culver’s restaurant. . . . The police ultimately cuffed, searched, and charged two men who refused to provide ID with “obstruction of justice.” Days later “Madison Police North District Capt. Cameron McLay said he believes officers acted appropriately in responding to . . . the [911] caller's concern that something might happen.” However the 911 call recording obtained by the Examiner.com pursuant to an Open Records Act request from Dane County does not support Capt. McLay’s characterization. The caller,...

The Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog organization led by Brent Bozell, has launched a petition drive demanding mainstream media outlets tell the truth and "rededicate themselves to unbiased reporting".

Call it the Ted Kennedy school of merrymaking: we mustn’t let the occasional cost of a young woman’s life stand in the way of having a good time.....

After all, the same accusation – with the races reversed - was made about George Bush and white people after hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and the MSM treated the accusation seriously and with respect. In fact, Bush was accused of "terrorism" - blowing up the levees around New Orleans - so that blacks would be driven out. So why should we not ask if Lisa Jackson, whose focus is “environmental justice” not be suspected that her version of environmental justice demands that white people on the Gulf Coast should live on polluted shores, be deprived of jobs, driven...

"Now, I have a question for all of you do-gooders out there, what should LeBron James do? Should LeBron James decide to play for the Knicks and pay the additional taxes to show his compassion and to show he's willing to give something back, which is what we demand of our athletes, or should he not sign with the New York Knicks or the Nets, sign with the Miami Heat and pocket and use the additional money for his own economic stimulus? What would you do if you were LeBron James and somebody was going to offer you in excess...

The Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is under fire for comments he made about the War in Afghanistan. On a recent Hugh Hewitt radio show both Hewitt and Bill Kristol call for Steele to step down: "I don't know why he said it... or what his condition was when he said it..." (audio)

From the steps of the West Virginia State Capitol in Charleston, Bill Clinton downplayed the late Sen. Robert Byrd’s days in the KKK, chalking it up as a misguided mistake that was not representative of him as a person. “There are a lot of people who wrote these eulogies for Senator Byrd in the newspapers saying, and I’ve read a bunch of them, they mention he once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan and what does that mean? ” I’ll tell you what that means. That means he was a country boy from the hills and hollow...
