Free Republic

Once upon a time there was a young charismatic and eloquent young leader who decided his nation was in need of change and he was the one to implement it. The people were receptive and ready for a change. He spoke passionately when denouncing the existing system, and the media loved him. Nobody questioned what he believed in, or whom his friends were. He said he would help the poor and bring free medical care and education to all. He would bring justice and equality. He said, "I am for hope and change and I will bring you both. "...

I just want to know, (really) after watching this, I know we all have our opnions. But doesn't it matter that this man has NO respect for our country? I don't really care for Hillary Clinton, but at least I know she LOVES our country and has respect for the men and woman who fought for this country. He DOESN'T. I have never been so scared in my life. Most people will probably say because BUSH was such a horrible president put our country in debt because of the war and John Mccain will do the same. I am telling...

I'm sure it goes without saying but I sure as hell hope nobody on here tunes in and pumps the ratings up for this jackass tomorrow night. I'd rather be locked in a dark room with Ron Howard's brother than listen to this pathological liar flap his gums any longer.

If you want to flame me, you can do so rightfully, as I am posting this from the viewpoint of a casual observer rather than an a knowledgeable linguist. But here I go: The easiest items to adjust for are nouns. You just plug in a noun in one language for another. Perhaps there are are languages with "easier" nouns than English but I don't know why or how. However, this is not the problem. The Romance languages have two difficulties. How to use the personal or impersonal "you" term. (In English it's left generic) It varies widely between cultures...

as mentioned earlier, these 18 yr old druggies have a stronghold in the web 2.0 space. apparently they saw our digg thread and see their posts: "Freeper has temerity to suggest new series of tubes to fellow freepers. Hilarity ensues." " Cave safe, fire is scary! Do not WANT!!" "Right, armchair interneting will not help mcCain much." "They are just as ignorant and backward as the Muslims they hate so much...n/t" "did these people find FR in the first place? Do they think FR IS the internet?" I like this DUmmie quote the best though: "Those who know how... should...

A final agreement has been reached between African Press International (API) and Fox News Network (USA) on the dates to air the Michelle Obama tape arising from a discussion Mrs Obama had with the API two weeks ago. The show will take place any day/time from now, with a 15 minutes alert on when it is to take place. Other programmes will be interrupted. This is a precaution taken to avoid interference from any quarter. In the agreement, Fox News Network will broadcast 39 minutes of the 54 minutes long tape. The whole tape cannot be aired unedited due to...

My wife heard on the way home from work today that John McCain is leading O,Bama by 2% in early voting in Indiana. The report probably came from WRTV6,a she usually listens to that on the way home.

I just joined Barack Obama's campaign for president. Cost me five dollars, the minimum donation, to check on the stories I'd heard about how his credit card processing system is set to verify only the card number and expiration date, so I chipped in with a fake name and address. After they'd processed my donation, they kicked me over to a pre-loaded "Hey, friendo, I just joined Obama's Great Leap Forward" e-mail form, so I modified it some and spread the word. Like Betty Crocker, 'Bammy's money-funnel was smooth and easy. I'd read about Osama Bin Laden, "Adolphe" Hitler, and...

We no longer hear about the greedy Oil speculators as the price is Spiraling into the Deck. What the commiecRats are not saying is that this proves that Supply and Demand works. The market is betting that there will be less oil needed as the future recession sets in around the World. This is also more proof that the World is fearing a Nodrillbama administration. The World knows that there will be reduced usage as industries collapse worldwide and they are right. The markets are hedging against a Black Whiteguilt Oblack administration w/a socialist congress. The trigger of this Market...

The story has similarities as it originally appeared. I couldn't help messing with it a little. I am afraid there are far too many pumpkinheads!

If anyone can, please help me. I have some friends in Pittsburgh who are both liberal and conservative. We had been chatting about the woman there who said she was attacked and a "B" etched into her face. One particularly liberal friend is now saying that the McCain people PRESSURED the news media there to run the story about the woman. She has said this after I sent her the original article, and then sent the report that it was a hoax. I even commented how these "hoaxes" hurt us all, of both parties. But this woman INSISTS that now,...

Today McCain was being interviewed on 610wtvn radio in Columbus, Ohio (a very popular show and time slot). He actually brought up the story of the LA Times refusing to release the video tape showing Obama toasting P.L.O. members. He then went on to tie it into Ayers. It's refreshing to see McCain finally taking off the gloves!!

So here is my plan for halloween night, I am not going to buy candy this year, instead I am going to buy an Obama mask and welcome the children that come to my door to the barack obama socialist nightmare for each group of children that comes to my door I am going to take candy from the child with the most candy and give it to the children in the group with the least amount of candy

I sometimes think that some DU nerds are jamming the site.

The last time "plumbers" were as prominent in national politics as accidental celebrity Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, they were a team of political operatives caught breaking into Democratic headquarters at the Watergate Hotel http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081027-joe-the-plumber-database-snooping-under-investigation.html

Tensions and anxiety are high right now and everybody wants to purge. But as the mods are constantly pointing out there are way too many vanities clogging the system. Here is an easy rule of thumb to use when thinking of posting a vanity. A good vanity is one that informs, educates, amuses or otherwise delights the reader. By its nature it is positive as it contributes to the participants overall FR experience. A bad vanity is a vent or whose purpose is to get something off the chest of the poster and is by its nature, selfish, because only...

After Shepard Smith hyperventalates interviewing Joe the Plumber....now Neil Cavuto is going crazy and throwing in the towel..."McCain is down 7 points in the latest Gallup poll....is an inconsistent message to blame??" WHAT ABOUT THE GALLUP POLL THAT HAS HIM DOWN 2?!?! Fox isnt showing that one at all!! Now Cavuto is bashing McCain non stop the entire show. AM I WATCHING MSNBC OR FOX?? Do these people know who watch their damn network? RIDICULOUS!!!

So you dumped my post on baseball players being wimps. But the article had more to do with baseball than just the fact that they cry about the rain and their little outfits get wet. It also had to do with fans and taxpayers. Do you oppose those groups also? Where did my original post go? Or do you just dump what you do not agree with? You would not be perhaps fans of one of the two teams playing?

These over paid baseball players are wimps. They spend their lives playing baseball, living in gyms, probably using drugs and chasing underage girls, but cannot play in the rain? What a bunch of wimps!The boys of summer may be light in the boots. Their ancestors rode and walked across this nation in all sorts of weather, but not these whining over stuffed shirts. No, it is raining and I am cold, so tell the 60,000 fans to wait or come back later. Baseball has looted many cities in this nation for new stadiums. Have you ever considered what you do...
