And now this word from outer space

Bush invaded Iraq cause of Oklahoma City edition:

John Doe #2 was an Iraqi Agent. The target detonation date was set by Iraq for the day of the Branch Davidian church burning by the BATF in order to stoke local Texas anti-government feelings. The Iraqi plan was for McVieigh to bomb something in Bush's city of Dallas (back when he owned the Texas Rangers) or in Austin (when he was Governor of Texas) in retaliation for GHWB's 1991 invasion of Iraq...but McVeigh didn't want to drive that far South.

OKC was closer. In the end, detonating the bomb in OKC was a complete failure. No "message" was sent to Bush in Texas and no Texas uprising against the government occurred...because bombing OKC didn't have the same emotional impact that bombing in Texas would have.

Had the plot been made public, however, there would have been immediate calls for an Iraq invasion...something that Clinton didn't want.

...but when Bush took over as President, the various Iraqi plots (one against his dad in Kuwait comes to mind) weighed in to subsequent action against Hussein.

So something was done. Saddam was executed for the OKC plot, among other things.

Tin foil in support of Bush supplied by Southack (Media Bias means that Castro won't be punished for Cuban war crimes against Black Angolans in Africa)

This is why being mixed race means you shouldn't be President! Pick a color, Mr. President!

Trump, even in triumph, is drawn like a clown.

Boehnner getting the unflattering photoshop treatment from the Freepers! It is over, once they hate, they never stop.

UN helmet and cigarette - clearly both evil and wimpy.

Why is the Rino photoshopped with kind of a thong?

OMG! Clinton rainbow! What does it mean?!

Even when out of power, the rage against Pelosi continues.

Why is it only women get the manic crazy treatment?

Obama is an internationalist, and therefor evil.

Commie propaganda posters - has Obama been added to every one yet?

The Trump Push makes me sad.

I must admit to be somewhat surprised at how Free Republic has become all Trump all the time. Palin is old and busted, and Bachmann's shelf-life is likewise fading. It seems for all their yelling about RINOS and requiring ideological purity, all it really takes is a fresh face, and talking points from NewsMax.

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm disappointed in Free Republic. I thought I could at least count on them to be loyal in their cults of personality. I guess hate for Obama is stronger than love.

omega4179 - Trump is cure, and the GOP not buying into every Obama conspiracy is the disease:

Where are the congressional committees we where promised? Where are the investigations? Trumps arrival is the result of a terminal disease in DC.

Sprite518 mistakes mockery for fear - the same thing Freepers used to do for Their Sarah.

The fact that the LEFT IS GOING BALLISTIC and targeting him you know instantly the he is the front runner. I don’t care what any poll says.

The fact that he has respect for our Constitution AND IS NOT AFRAID TO BE LABELED A RACIST (like all the rest of the Republican Candidates) gives me great respect for him.

You can rest assure none of the other Republican candidates will ever say anything. Notice how SILENT all the other Republican candidates are about the Birth issue.

Trump can get more votes than any other Republican candidate. You can count on that.

Trump/Bachmann 2012

tsowellfan has a different ticket in mind:

Trump / Rubio would be a very powerful ticket.

Heck, if Biden drops out Obama would have to pick a latino to compete with that or even better pick McCain as his VP.

If we’re going to go with Trump why not make it interesting with a...

Donald Trump / Alan Keyes 2012

teenyelliott has yet another Trump/Freeper ticket:

DONALD TRUMP/HERMAIN CAINThat ticket would get rid of Soetoro in a skinny minute.

What about Trump/Reagan?

Sir Francis Dashwood has a favorite candidate I did not expect:

I left the Republican party when they nominated McCain...

And after just finishing Donald Rumsfeld’s book yesterday, Rumsfeld would be my ideal president. (I sincerely doubt that the other 90% of my fellow Americans could get past the first chapter.)

RockinRight thinks voters are just like girls:

To me it reminds me of that guy who was such an overconfident jerk that got all the girls.

He was SO confident, and really didn’t care what happened, that it made the girls fawn all over him.

This is what is happening here with The Donald.

Scott from the Left Coast is basically too depressed to vote for anything other than spite:

sick of the scum everywhere...sick of the million Romney politicians. I'll look at Trump, why not...as others have said (or pictured) here, he's got balls. That's a f--- of a lot more than anyone else in the race has shown. I don't give a F anymore...if you have courage, I'll listen

tsowellfan has a metaphor:

We have a man standing on the street corner burning our Constitution and Trump stands up in the square complaining about it and the so called “conservatives” attack the messenger and ignore the burning of the Constitution.

I guess we’re learning that for some Party Ideology trumps all even the US Constitution.

And by US Constitution, tsowellfan means things he likes.

Could Obama get reelected?

Obama's approval is 49% in one of the many polls released weekly. Freepers usually ignore polls. But this one was Rassmusen, which they've cleaved to as the only unbiased one, due to it's consistent lowballing of Obama's approval. This is forcing them to confront the unimaginable - could Obama get reelected?

sand88 thinks it may be time...for drama!

2012 will be the most important election in our lifetimes. If this Marxist, Anti-American pig wins, then it is checkmate for our Republic. He will unmask his rabid, vite hatred for all things American, for white Americans and for Capitalism.

I pray enough Americans wake up There is a point at which Liberty is so threatened by government, that no election or law making can restore it; For those in power have no incentive, nor desire to even speak of Liberty.

After such time, only a Second American Revolution can save this Republic -- nothing else will work. We are very close to that point.

MNJohnnie sees this in the historical context. In a history where Clinton never balanced the budget in 1993, I guess.

He won his liberal base back by going out and singing the same old Progressive song about “tax the rich” yesteray.

In 1986, 1991 and 1993 the Progressive Democrats in Congress made the same pledge 0 did yesterday. Give us more tax money and we will cut the deficit. In 1986, 1991 and 1993 Taxpayers coughed up the money and the Congress increased spending exponentially and the tax payers got more debt then ever.

0 is merely signing the 4th verse of the same old DC Progressive song. It is just another lie.

How about this time we try something that has NEVER been tried by DC, we try to balance the budget strictly on budget cuts with NO tax increases?

sam_paine knows why Obama is popular - America is over.

Uh. Maybe because "Americans" actually go for his Shinola Sales tactics, and the "Americans" you romantically think of in your head, who voted for Reagan, etc, are pretty much gone? Maybe?

Maybe 2008 was not an aberration but an omen?

Grunthor knows that Obama's second term is totally the one where America ends:

He could be re-elected. It will mean the end of America. That is the bad news. The good news is that it’s not going take much longer. We are going to have to apparantly hit rock bottom before we face the grim reality that socialism is bad.

I look for food riots here in America before Comrade O’s second term is out.

ken5050 just blames the strong approval on black folks:

"23% strongly approve.."
If 17% of the voters are black, and 95% of them probably "strongly support" Obama..then other than "his people"..nobody else really likes him..

Wait, 17& of voters are black now? Or do liberals count as black these days?

MrB thinks unless Freepers homeschool, Obama will get reelected.

Freedom loving parents will have to pull their kids out of the Marxist indoctrination camps call “public” schools,
or else we’re cooked.

Gas armageddon!!!

Gas prices are going up. Not that they're as high as they were a couple of summers under Bush. But Freepers suddenly see gas prices as all that stands between America and an apocalyptic wasteland:

Charles Bronson Forever remembers the dark days of 2008:

There’s going to be chaos!

rwfromkansas is scared:

if gas goes to 5, it will be about as bad as when I had the truck. Scary.

ilgipper thinks correlation is causation:

Doesn’t anyone realize that last time price rose to new peaks in 2008, we were in a collapse a few short months later?

takenoprisoner knows this is part of the conspiracy:

The escalating cost of gas is merely another step in Obama’s plan to destroy America. Obama thinks America hasn’t been paying it’s fair share for petrol. He said so from the beginning. He also promised he would change it so Americans are paying as much for petrol as the Europeans. Since to pay less, is a crime against his master, one allahmoohaamedalikrashadalialquedamosbrohoodofamericaandmideasternafghanfagpersianknightsarbianpimp-softerrorahmedthepervertedknightofgay.

You...might want to get that looked at.

NTHockey on gas prices somehow killing us all:

0bami’s DeathCare isn’t going to kill us fast enough; so it’s now 0bambiGas. He can’t blame THIS on Bush.

CitizenUSA knows that liberals want to kill off most of humanity:

The left WANTS high gas prices. This is great news for the global warming and one world crowds. America uses more than its fair share of the world’s resources, and we need to cut back to save the planet. I seriously think the sick, leftist puppies would cheer if 2/3 of the human race was wiped out.

unkus knows why the liberals want to purge us - demons:

Indeed, their religion is humanist, and they are distinctly anti-human.

In other words, they are Satan’s followers.

---

Exactly! It’s all demonic.

US out of Afghanistan!

Freepers were okay with the counterinsurgency Rules of Engagement when Bush was in office. Now, of course, they are fightin' mad that Obama is killing our soldiers.

Vaquero thinks this is just like Vietnam, or Mexico:

time to get out....the vietnamization has been going on for at least 2 years...(just like at our southern border where our agents are shooting bean bag loads....)

we have no Osama to show for any of this...time to either put our efforts to actually getting Bin Laden...or get the frig out....and do it NOW!!!!

Dude, we totally almost won Vietnam, ya hippie!

haroldeveryman thinks this is a conspiracy to kill our soldiers, and McCrystal knows but isn't saying anything:

The Administration has no intention of winning this. General McCrystal’s “Rolling Stone” interview was no blunder, IMHO. Having realized that the slime in Washington had our soldiers in another no-win situation, the General took an opportunity to force Obama to either to get real, or to make him fire him.

It was the 9-11 attacks that got us into this venture. But after a few years that attack didn’t seem to have any more significance than a trivia game question. To add to the silliness, the idea of a Ground Zero Mosque became all the rage. Now, our legal establishment wants our Constitution to be subservient to “international law”, and even would like to adopt elements of Sharia law.

The rest of us should realize that the real fight now is right here at home.

Let’s get our soldiers home. At the very least they’ll be good for the gene pool.

TheBattman is pissed there hasn't been a military coup yet:

Nutty policy straight from the White House... and the flat-out intent is to force the US to be defeated.

And folks wonder why our soldiers get upset and act badly sometimes...

But when is our military going to uphold their oath - to protect the US from enemies both foreign and domestic? Our nation is besieged by an ineligible (constitutionally speaking) anti-American like we have not faced since the Cold War in our old adversaries the Soviets. Obama and his entire party want nothing less than to weaken the US until we are totally dependent on the rest of the world - and then subject to a single world government. That is the agenda - there is more evidence to prove it than there is that Obama is a natural born citizen of the US.

doc1019 has an odd idea of what the solders Rules of engagement are:

Kill a GI, get a free meal, new cloths and off you go to do it again, what a deal. PURE IDIOCY!!!

panthermom has raised a dramatic son:

My son will turn 21 in Afghanistan. I told him that when he got his midtour leave I will throw him a huge Keg party.

After he was briefed on th ROE, he told me forget about the keg party, plan a funeral. Nice, ha?

Freepers weigh in on Obama's budget proposal

Freepers can always be counted on for a spirited, if not exactly substantive debate. Thus, Obama's actual plan doesn't matter - Freepers know what is in his evil little heart:

Concho has already preemptively taken out a Swiss Bank account:

its going to come out of our pockets by increased taxes or seizure of your bank accounts. Better be for yanking your worth and putting it offshore where he cant touch it.

driftdiver may not have listened to Obama's speech, but he read about his secret plans re: retirement plans!

The plans I read about them discussing in committee was to take control of the funds completely. Not taxing them, just taking them and promising everyone a ‘guaranteed’ retirement.

Seaplaner thinks this is all a plan to weaken America:

It has nothing to do with money, of course. This (if my hunch is right) is Obama's big opening to use budget cuts to justify weakening our defense, and to prove that he will always be BFFs with Bill Ayers!

Neoliberalnot cleverly gets by the censors:

barry X, the abandoned b a s t a r d of an illicit union between a deranged, teen aged, communist w h o r e and malcolm X, has his instructions from the muslim world to permanently destroy America and her via debt, wreck her economy, euthanize the greatest generation, demoralize her military via homosexuality and exhaust it in a wild goose chase in the “graveyard of empires”. He does hate America, especially White America, and does love his works of treason and destruction. It is through this that all his actions may be understood.

I hope the military honors their oaths, steps up and arrests this a s s h o l e or better. This son of a w h o r e is the walking definition of a “domestic enemy” and we won’t sit still anymore for his treason.

NEVER EVER forget the mainstream media that conspired to foist this muslim nation wrecking b a s t a r d on America is responsible. They intentionally sold us this traitor.

The democratic soviet is comprised of 22% of the population (blacks, latinos, queers, muslims, transgenders, communists, and abortionists) An amalgam of misfits tied together by nothing more than malevolent envy and hate for Natural Law.

This man is actively destroying an America he was raised to hate, is supported by communists in the media and must be neutralized for the good of all. He CANNOT be allowed to appoint one more Supreme Court judge.

Lots of words for "I hate Obama LOTS AND LOTS." No actual issues came up though.

aces has a plan for the Federal government.

Long Term, Bait and switch BS that so called saves trillions from theses programs while ramping up 10 times more from the new programs..he saves nothing, fraud, POS POTUS..don’t do anything he wants, just cut, no new anything, cut until Washington is nothing but a pimple on thee states as$..

Yes, with no Federal government, America is sure to prosper!

Drill Thrawl has the important numbers:

For those who are interested. In the last puff of hot air by 0 there were;
7 - "me"s
10 - "my"s
and 52 - "I"s

Wow, when you don't compare them to other politicians' speeches, that sure sounds narcissistic!

chuckee sees this as something Dems have done forever:

Typical Dem ploy. Spend the government into oblivion the first few years after achieving a majority. Then confiscate the public’s assets thru taxation to pay for it. Create the crisis first then confiscate assets to pay for it to create a Euro socialist state.

Yeah, Clinton...wait, I mean Carter...Hmmmm.

darth knows economics cause he's RATIONAL:

Art Laffer was absolutely right. We are well past the point in the curve where increasing taxes will REDUCE TAX REVENUES not to mention cratering the economy and increasing unemployment.

I have noticed that one of the most glaring differences between libs and conservatives is that conservatives are RATIONAL. The dims think they can tax and regulate us to prosperity. They are economic ILLITERATES.

RATIONAL people are too economically LITERATE for evidence, it seems.

KwHorn77. Hah. He mad:

NO, YOU CAN’T BELIEVE A DAMNED THING THE DEMONAZIS, COMMUCRATS, LIBERALS, OR PROGRESSIVES SAY.

THEY ARE ALL LIARS AND OBAMA (BHO) IS THE BIGGEST LIAR OF ALL.

AFTER ALL THEY LIVE IN WASHINGTON DECEIT & CORRUPTION.
