If we capture UBL than who is going to stop us? He will be treated as a war criminal and no one will be able to stop the US Military from removing him from that country and bringing him back to the USA.
How are they free? They cost money and all that will happen is that tuition will go up to cover it. That is why tuition is going up at 7% - 10% per year.
But we grew out of it. It is the 21st century and they should be way more advanced than they are. But they are not becauase those in power are scared by educated followers. Look at the way the treat women and girls in their own countries like that 16 year old girl that was just hung in Iran or all the honor killings that happen because a woman was raped and that makes it her fault.
If they do not wish to be judeged by their actions...well tough shit.
People at republican conventions are not the same people that post at freerepublic. You will notice that a lot/most of the normal posters kept posting during the convention, IOW they where not at the convention.
They think they are important and they do not care to have the side they support questioned in any way.
The ultra religious on freerepublic are crazy if they where normal they would not be saying that those two girls that killed themselves deserved it because the practed wicca.
Check out Tailgunner Joes posting history sometime.
I do not think I was too intense. I do not think that pointing out the Bible doesn't condem drinking, that oral sex will not send you straight to hell and that porn isn't evil are over the top. Do you?
Well, if the Religion of Peace(tm) members hadn't been shooting the kids in the back perhaps it would have gone better. I will leave the discussion of the torture of the kids for another post.
Wrong. DU states what they are upfront and bans those it doesn't agree with. Freerepublic lies about what they are, I have no problem with what they do they just should not lie about it. Plus, the one they support doesn't even share their beliefs, he says he does but his actions show otherwise.

I posted the following statement to our front page in response to the criticism I'm receiving lately as to not being fair and balanced and perceived mistreatment of trolls and assorted malcontents. Got news for all, I'm NOT fair and balanced. I'm biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom and against liberalism, socialism, anarchism, wackoism, global balonyism and any other form of tyranny. Hope this helps.
Statement by the founder of Free Republic:
In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side. Believing that the best defense is a strong offense, we (myself and those whom I'm trying to attract to FR) support the strategy of taking the fight to the enemy as opposed to allowing the enemy the luxury of conducting their attacks on us at home on their terms and on their schedule.
Therefore, we wholeheartedly support the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive strikes on known terrorist states and organizations that are believed to present a clear threat to our freedom or national security. We support our military, our troops and our Commander-in-Chief and we oppose turning control of our government back over to the liberals and socialists who favor appeasement, weakness, and subserviency. We do not believe in surrendering to the terrorists as France, Germany, Russia and Spain have done and as Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton and the Democrats, et al, are proposing.
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.
Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.
We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.
Our God-given liberty and freedoms are not negotiable.
May God bless and protect our men and women in uniform fighting for our freedom and may God continue to bless America.
He appears to worship the god of profit above all others. It's kind of like the preachers who preach about not working on Sunday because it is a sin, then after services they go to a nice site down resturant that would not be open if it wasn't for the church crowd.
No, but they are doing everything they can and playing every trick possible to keep the numbers where they are. Reactivations, Stop Losses and other methods are being used to keep people in the military. Much like outsourcing expect to see a major increase in the need for a draft after November.
Freerepublic isn't a rightwing site, it is a Bush echo chamber. They ban people from the site at the drop of the hat, just try posting a comment that Bush is a big spending liberal and your account will get banned (I base the fact that bush is a big spending liberal on his record, not what he says).
Hell, my wife was banned from freerepublic because she asked why food and energy wasn't including in the inflation report and I have received death threats for saying porn should not be banned. I mean they where chearing on China yesterday because they are going to execute a person who sold/made porn in China.
When you say 'Baby Killer Lobbying Groups' are you talking about the pro abortion groups or the pro life groups who never really do anything that might endanger their funding/donations?
Maybe so, but that doesn't mean that the goverment should pay for the research. Isn't it a bit socialists to have goverment fund research that is then used by one company to make a windfall profit?
What is wrong with having the company who gets an exclusive license to the research pay back what the research cost?
Or are you a fan of 'Privatize Profits, Socialize Costs'?
No, the taxpayer paid for the research. The drug companies then use this research for next to nothing and reap most, if not all, of the rewards. It would be different if they paid back the gov the 700 million, but they don't.

Just yell BOO really loud and france will surrender to you. ;->
Hell, the UN doesn't follow its own rules/laws so why should anyone else? Google for UN Sex for Food
About the time that the electric company starts taking bullshit instead of cash.

No, we brought some of them over with us, (Pat Robinson, Raulph Reed, Others) ;->

Yes, and we grew out of it.
Who would have thought that those that worship islam would kill kids by shooting them in the back and laugh at them as the tortured them.
After all islam is the Religion of Peace (TM)

No that FR lies about who and what they are so that makes information from their site less than trustworthy.
/. or any other site on the net.
DU doesn't lie about who they are, the come out and say it. This also makes them less than trustworthy.
Let us just say that I have gotten more death threats from FR than I have from
For fun check out what they say the pay for bandwidth and compare it to market norms.
Kerry has said the he would have attacked Iraq also.
Wrong. DU states what they are upfront and bans those it doesn't agree with. Freerepublic lies about what they are, I have no problem with what they do they just should not lie about it. Plus, the one they support doesn't even share their beliefs, he says he does but his actions show otherwise.

Too bad, if they had been damaged perhaps progress would have been made on other methods to get to orbit that are just a little more efficient.

Just damn.
Some walmarts, like the one in kilgore texas, have pocketpc based systems that the CSM's use. They where made by HP.

True. But it doesn't cost 1 Billion USD to put a paper on the web while it does cost that much to launch the Shuttle.
