Free Republic

January 2001: Bush appoints Joe Allbaugh, a crony from Texas, as head of FEMA. Allbaugh has no previous experience in disaster management. April 2001: Budget Director Mitch Daniels announces the Bush administration's goal of privatizing much of FEMA's work. In May, Allbaugh confirms that FEMA will be downsized: "Many are concerned that federal disaster assistance may have evolved into both an oversized entitlement program...." he said. "Expectations of when the federal government should be involved and the degree of involvement may have ballooned beyond what is an appropriate level." 2001: FEMA designates a major hurricane hitting New Orleans as one...

I am ashamed of how Americans treat the homeless and the needy in their urban cities and how this website denigrates the poor and less fortunate. You people are the richest country on earth and you will not even give out a scrap to those who are on the streets begging for a living! They need jobs, they need to feed their families, and you won't even help out shame on you! The Bible says that God will judge the nations that forget the poor! You wont be rich forever, these poor ones will go to heaven and you'll go...

I was a long-time, once very active member of Free republic. My screen name was DEFcon4, and I belonged to the N.E.Chapter of Free Republic, we travelled to DC to attend FR rallies, and freeped Clinton numerous times. Voted for Bush Senior, and W on his first election. I am a tried and true PATRIOT. I believe in the greatness of the USA, in which I grew up in. I am not a liberal, conservative, democrat, republican, or any other label that people like to try to pidgeonhole others with - I am a patriot of our country. When I...

I am absolutely outraged and believe the entire bush and blair administrations need to be put in shackles and tried for war crimes in the Hague. Impeachment should begin in the US immediately for bush, cheney and most of their cabinet. These outrageous, deadly actions makes Watergate seem insignificant. Everyone in CONGRESS who has supported the bush administration over the lies and deceptions of the illegitimate Iraq War should resign immediately or also face impeachment. bush and his administration and blair and his administration should also be tried along with Sadam. Does the United States House of Representatives need anything...

To: Fox News et al This morning, I turned on TV briefly (to catch the weather report, since we really need rain here in Tennessee) and I heard you discussing the self-outing of "Deep Throat" yesterday. At the end of your on-air discussion, you said, "If there's another Deep Throat out there, give us a call, won't you. We're waiting for your call." Yeah, bullsh*t. For the past eight months, thousands of people have been sending you information on the 2004 stolen election and you've been ignoring it like a burning herpes sore on your anus when your wife asks...

Fillibuster holding Peace on Earth!

because a while back i posted a gay rights article under the screenname runswithwolves and i got assaulted by the people on the board and got banned

The wounded man appears to be genuinely apologetic for any and all sins he may have inadvertently committed over the course of his otherwise charmed life, but the American soldier continues to speak somewhat impolitely to him, while a Navy corpsman arrives and is seen to viciously take al-Zarqawi's blood pressure and to brutally administer an analgesic. The International Red Cross and the UN Civil Rights Commission lead by Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Red China has ask for a full investigation into this alleged case of POW abuse .

Long story, but given the apparent end of democracy in America, and the open hostility to persons of the Christian Faith, and given History over the past 200 years or so, How can one be sure, or even 50% sure that an org such as Free Republic is legitimate? It would seem plausible that this group is merely another plant. Someone help me out here. zapp

Fox News in Ratings Free Fall Here's something you won't hear on Fox News -- ratings for the cable news channel have been plummeting since before the November election. According to TV Newser, the number of people watching Fox during prime time in the 25 to 54 age bracket dropped in April for the sixth straight month.

I was sorry the headline didn't say "Beaten to Death."

a Pew Poll, conducted by the prestigious Princeton Univerisity, found bush's approval at 43% on May 11-15. That is a very bad approval rating. Why?

TWO MEN are being put on trial by the military this week because they answered their consciences. Pablo Paredes and Kevin Benderman refused to accept the lies they were told about the U.S. war on Iraq. Refused to accept the racist dehumanization of the Iraqi people. Refused to participate in the violence of the most lethal military machine in the history of the world. Refused to go to war for oil and empire in Iraq. Paredes, a third class petty officer, refused to board his Navy ship bound for the Persian Gulf, bringing 3,000 Marines to the battlefield--to kill and...

Hi all, I really appreciate participating in your forum and will start my posting with new information from the United States, I also would like to have your comments on the declared phenomenon: As a result of war on terrorism Islam becomes the fastest-growing religion in America and in the world although religion is no longer dominates everyday life in Western society. Millions of people read Koran (Quran) in the Internet and visited Islamic sites.

Are all races equal? These days it's no longer a question that is to be debated rather it is gospel and anyone who would dare speak the truth on this issue no matter who cohearent or no matter how sincere are denied a place at the table. We are all forced to bow down to that belief that all people reguardless of racial differences are equal and that we are only different in speech and skin color. But there is more below the skin to be found.
