Free Republic

You know how liberals like to laugh it up if a conservative thinks a satire article is real, right? Well, yesterday Free Wood Post published this article: Sarah Palin: “Thanksgiving is for Real Americans Not Indians” As you can see at places like here and here, the libs thought they had something on Palin, at least for the moment. It took some people on their own sites to point out that Free Wood Post is a satire site.

The roar of the propellers cutting the air is what sparks memories for WWII veteran Howard Mann. "The sound is the same," he said. "The sound brings it all back." Mann, 92, was a passenger in the B-24 Liberator "Witchcraft" that took flight from Long Beach to John Wayne Airport on Friday as part of the Wings of Freedom exhibition at the Lyon Air Museum... The last time Mann was in a B-24 was Jan. 3, 1945, flying over the Pacific...

The Whiskey Rebellion George Washington's Proclamation calling Out The Militia To Occupy the Western Counties of Pennsylvania As It Appears In the August 11, 1794 issue of Claypoole's Daily Advertiser Angered by an excise tax imposed on whiskey in 1791 by the federal government, farmers in the western counties of Pennsylvania engaged in a series of attacks on excise agents. The tariff effectively eliminated any profit by the farmers from the sale or barter of an important cash crop, and became the lightning rod for a wide variety of grievances by the settlers of the region against the federal government....

Real American Stories garnered ratings nearly equal to those achieved by Greta Van Susteren each night with slightly over two million viewers for that time slot. The competition could not even come close drawing between one fifth and half of her numbers: “CNN’s Anderson Cooper had 820,000 viewers at the same hour, while MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann had 575,000 and HLN’s Nancy Grace drew 400,000? Alinsky Leftists’ Coverage of Ratings is Patently Absurd Not surprisingly, the Alinsky leftists were hard at work spewing out story after story absurdly declaring the show “a ratings failure.”

Associated Press - July 21, 2009 4:15 PM ET OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe has been appointed to the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee.

DNCReform formally endorses John McCain for President of the United States and Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States. Many of you are aware we (DNCRefom) chose not to jump on the John McCain bandwagon while genuine efforts were being made to see the actual Democratic Primary WINNER, Hillary Rodham Clinton, gain the nomination in Denver. Our efforts along with everyone else's were valiant but went ignored. We feel that the best presidential candidate to represent American is John McCain. We feel he will bring a much needed fiscal conservatism to Washington along with genuine change and reform...

Here is a local news report on the rally held by John McCain and Sarah Palin in Cedarburg, Wisconsin today, September 5, 2008. The reporter says State Troopers estimate that a crowd of 20,000-30,0000 turned out to greet them, far more than the expected 5-10,000. . . . (see video at link)

With the actions of congress wanting to cut an run, I think it is time that the Speech by General George S. Patton be read and sent to ALL members of Congress. As the General said "This stuff about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit." The likes of Pelosi and Murtha and the other cowards shows that war is not for women and cowardly old men. Just change the word "German" to "Islamic Terrorist" and the speech is just as appropriate today as it was over 60 years ago. General Patton's...

When Army Spc. Bobby Hillen arrived in war-torn Iraq in January 2004, he saw small children playing in bomb craters in the streets. As he was leaving Iraq a year later, Hillen, a National Guard soldier from Brookline, recalls seeing children being shepherded into new schools that were part of the U.S. and coalition forces' reconstruction effort. "It was a drastic difference," said Hillen, 22, who believes most Americans never see such accomplishments because the media generally ignore positive developments in Iraq. "It's a slap in the face to a soldier when you turn on the news and all you...

BAGHDAD (AFP) - A total of 147 foreign-born US military personnel serving in Iraq gathered inside a former Saddam Hussein palace to be granted US citizenship. In a mass ceremony the soldiers, sailors, and airmen, along with one marine and a navy medic, simultaneously raised their right hands and swore to "support and defend the constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic." US soldiers listen on during a swearing-in ceremony for citizenship, at Camp Victory in Baghdad. One hundred and forty seven foreign-born US military personnel serving in Iraq gathered inside one...

Lots of pictures, and even video! It might take a while to load, so you can read this summary of the event while you wait. :-) Today, several FReepers, the Central Florida Chapter of Protest Warrior, and many others went out to counter protest an anti-war/anti-troops protest led by the group "Not in Our Name", of who Martin Sheen and Susan Sarandon are a part of. We wanted to show Orlando that we supported the troops and the president. The PW Chapter leader Zachary Bauer had spent a long time organizing the event, and Matchett-PI of FR had been passing...

ComtedeMaistre's comment: About a week ago, I commented on the great changes that have taken place in the Disney Corporation, where a once family friendly pro-American company, was taken over by new management in the 1980s, and turned into a smut and violence peddling corporation. And I mentioned the fact that the new Disney is not representative of the values of the company's founder, Walt Disney. A freeper who uses the moniker, "this-ol-patriot", was kind enough to post the a transcript demonstrating how pro-American the late Walt Disney was, and I thank the freeper for making the transcript available. Disney...

Neo-Conservatives are not Conservatives By Jeff Adams Published 08. 8. 02 at 21:29 Sierra Time Several years ago, I noticed the term "neo-conservative" come into frequent use. I have grown to hate this word because it gives people who bear the term false credentials as true conservatives. To me, true conservatives fit the description of what used to be called the "Old Right." These "new conservatives" present nothing that reflects the ideas of the "Old Right," or traditional conservatism. Neo-conservatives see nothing wrong with big, centralized government, as long as they, the neo-conservatives, are in charge instead of liberal...
