offsite link The Faux-Radicalism of Kneecap Wed Apr 30, 2025 19:00 | Andrew Doyle
Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

offsite link Pope Francis?s Liberalism is Not Why Young People Are Returning to Church Wed Apr 30, 2025 11:00 | Dr Roger Watson
As a Catholic, Prof Roger Watson is sure Francis was appointed Pope for a reason. It's just that he's damned if he can figure out what it was. Certainly, it's not his liberalism that's drawn young people back to church.

'Free republic' - What a Joke

Speaking the language of the 'Patridiot'

Conservative traitors at www.freerepublic.com censor the hard truth told by Ken O'Keefe

Here is how "www.FreeRepublic.com" see themselves;
'Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!'

Normally I ignore these types of sites but I thought I would show just how stupid many so-called "Patriots" really are. The following article is the result and "free republic's" response was to remove the thread within two minutes and bar me from further posting. Of course the official reason will be profanity but the real reason is the truth I presented; you will see what I mean.

The lesson in this before you read it is that there is great power in exposing Bush as the deserter that he is. Tell all these lost souls they are following a deserter and traitor, it works.

the article;
Ignorance is bliss.

I say to all you pseudo American Patriots;
Your commander and Chief is a first class Vietnam War deserter who sat over the worst security breach in U.S. history who additionally is destroying the United States Constitution. And you pathetic dipshits follow this man like brainless sheep and have further nerve to criticize someone (like myself) who is not so fucking stupid as you.

I dare any of you to tell me George W. Bush did not desert for over one year during the Vietnam War??? Go on, who is the first fool to prove their stupidity?

"It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much ...to forget it." – James Madison

Burning the passport is a big fuck you to your (not mine anymore) government; a government gutting the liberty fought for by real Patriots who created the Constitution; a government that is cutting health and veterans benefits while pardoning millionaire criminals who have destroyed hard working American lives with their fraudulent greed. Oh yeah that’s patriotic alright.

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards." – Sam Adams

And I guess all of you wankers are in a position to criticize me when I was a Marine who did serve with “honor” who did earn a ‘Combat Action Award.’ You would admire this from another dipshit Patridiot like yourselves but when a True American like me points out the difference between loyalty and treason you all shout insults. Like little bully children. Pathetic.

And the fact that many Gulf War Vets (like myself) have been injected with experimental drugs and exposed to DU without our knowledge or consent and that many of us have died or will die from the effects of these human experiments means nothing to America’s new breed of “Patriot.” And now your troops are getting their dose of experimental drugs; like sheep being led to slaughter; tragic.

None of you wankers can rightfully even be called traitors; you are below that. You are just sheep, plain and simple. But if you did elevate yourself beyond sheople status and actually go beyond your simply pathetic arguments and actively do what your government is now doing well than you would graduate to the status of first class traitors; just like your Commander & Chief and his quislings.

Let the True Patriots Rise!

Truth Justice Peace,
Ken O’Keefe – World Citizen

Wow, very impressive! Must be all of seventeen people in the screenshot. I suppose if we include people to either side there would be at least a massive two dozen or so who support the war.
Great to see that our troops have such wonderful support. They should have the situation sorted out in no time, and we can give them a warm welcome home. After all, they will be home in time for Christmas.

Give me liberty or give me death.
Patrick Henry

and

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
Patrick Henry

Your post was trying to open up some of the transactions in the latter quote above.
Anyway over the agragate of time conservatives like these are in the minority, otherwise we'd have no democracy, social welfare net etc, so inform to speed change, which is unstoppable anyway.
