Free Republic

So what's the 'Problem' with John Kerry...???  Is it the 'Long Face'...???...NO !!!  It's the ...LONG WAIT !!!

This is long overdue for me. A tribute to our armed forces. Thank you, all. I do not consider your sacrifices in vain. The American Flame

What a whirlwind of activities our newly formed chapter of Free Republic has been lately. It seems the Robinson’s visit has lit a fire! Since Memorial Day, we’ve hardly sat still. Of course, our group has countered the peacenik element at the post office on Saturday mornings. We have photos from last Saturday, and this past Saturday. As usual, we speak to folks as they pass by. Often, those conversations are encouraging and receptive. Columbia has such a vocal group of radical, left wing hippy types that will actively belittle conservatives, even to the point of writing humiliating letters about...

LATE BREAKING! Senator John McCain to be on the campaign trail next week with our President.

I have had many freep mail me about starting a thread just for homeschoolers. Well I am taking the plunge. This thread is for those who homeschool, those who want to homeschool, and those who support homeschool families. I know that we face many obstacles, and this is a place for support. Let's create a true "haven" for us to gather and discuss homeschooling within our FR home. Monday always seems to be the most hectic. I thought if we started this group on Monday that the start of the week wouldn't be so hard to handle. :) So...

This is an e-mail I received in response to an e-mail I sent Sears Customer Service: Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to let us know of your support for our actions regarding our associates who have been called into active duty. As you may have read, Sears has extended its program of military pay differential to 36 months. This includes allowing Sears reservists who are full-time employees to continue participating in the company's life insurance, medical and dental programs, if they choose. The company will also hold a comparable position for these individuals for up to five...

This is an update to my previous post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1147151/posts The meeting time is --11:30 a.m.-- and we are still meeting at Embarcadero bart. Also, Channel 7 news called me and said they are interested in meeting us. I advised them of our final rally point, Justin Herman Plaza. Anyone who can show up should definately try to be here. We are anticipating our largest group to date. We welcome you all to attend if you can.

The Media In the way they have related to the war in the Balkans, Israeli media, both printed and electronic, show remarkable uniformity. During the conflict in Slovenia and Croatia and at an early stage of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Israeli media took a pro-Serbian position. This was clear not only in attempts to explain and interpret what was happening, but also in the way the events were being reported. But in the summer of 1992, when the reports about the camps the Serbs were operating in Bosnia-Herzegovina were in the headlines throughout the world, Israeli newspapers ran some of...

Touted as the "most pro-gay presidential candidate ever," Sen. John Kerry's campaign has announced a "Pride Across America" program targeting the homosexual community with booths at 60 "pride" events in 22 states over the summer months. "It's exciting for us because it's an investment the campaign and the DNC [Democratic National Committee] are making in the LGBT [Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered] community," said Mark Seifert, director of Kerry's LGBT outreach effort, according to Gay.com. Another related program is "Ripple of Hope," an online fund-raising drive seeking to raise $500,000 in small donations from the homosexual community by the end of...

Memorial Day is not just another holiday that falls on Monday. On this day, we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our country. We also remember those who are currently defending same. Despite all the bad news being shown in the media, there is also much good going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, only the media (or most of them) won't tell you. Many of you remember (and attended) the numerous Rallies for America held last year. Radio station KPRC decided to hold another rally today. This rally was at the same location as the previous Houston rally...

With all the recent controversy surrounding John Kerry's pro-abortion politics, a lot of emphasis has been put on how Church leaders should react. Debates -- even among non-Catholics -- have focused almost exclusively on whether the senator should be denied the Eucharist, whether he should be excommunicated, etc. But there's one vital question that hasn't been given the attention it merits: Is Kerry's "dissenting Catholic outreach" strategy going to win him votes? The answer -- which may come as a surprise to many -- appears to be "no." I base this on a Zogby poll released this week that indicates...

BlackNET: Support the Troops, Mr. Murtha Written by NavySEALs.com/BlackNET Tuesday May 11, 2004 By Peter Huessy NavySEALs.com/BlackNET WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 10) - At a recent speech at the Center for Security and International Affairs, a respected Marine, 16- term United States Representative John P. Murtha, said the war, as being fought in Iraq cannot be won. Much of the subsequent media comment has focused on the unwinnable part of his remarks and ignored his call for a change in strategy, including, more troops. But was this helpful, Congressman, did it "support the troops"? For example, over the past two years...

Military moral is frustrated!

Can someone please point me to the thread that lists scores of exerpts from articles where prominent Democrats and current opponents of the war were once all for it? Thanks.

What ever happened to all the support rallies for our troops?They seemed to die down after the end of major conflict about a year ago. With the media hyping up all the bad issues overseas invoving "OUR" troops, it is time we get together to show our support for them and let them know we didn't forget them. I think it is time to bring back the "Support Our Troop" rallies. Now, more than ever, they need our support. Once a week, once a month, or once a quarter. Any kind of publicized event would show the rest of the...

Thank God for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and for his distinguished service to our country in this time of war.We all want you to know that we enthusiastically support you and our troops!

LAUREL, United States (AFP) - Jan, John, Jon and Stosh have two things in common: They are all veterans or former combatants who served in the US military and they also want to see Democratic presidential contender Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) sitting in the White House in 2005. The four ex-soldiers who range in age from 54 to 71 sat down amid a dozen veterans to talk with an AFP correspondent just outside Washington last month to explain why they are marching in step behind Kerry's presidential campaign. "I remember hearing about a young navy guy who...
