May we always remember this man for the great man and leader that he was.

He changed the Republican party and for that we should be forever grateful.

May God bless his family and America.

Check what's on his head!

On a more serious note, R.I.P. Dutch. They don't make politicians like him anymore.

I took a personality test once, to find out which world leader I am and it said I was Che Guevara

And it is sad news about Reagan, but he's been sick for awhile now and at least he's at rest.

Fee upsets French, Germans at G-8 summit

By JOHN LEICESTER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SAVANNAH, Ga. -- The G-8 summit is barely under way, and already the Europeans and the Americans are trading barbs.

French reporters, backed by French diplomats, have protested the $350 fee charged by summit organizers for use of press facilities at the main press center for the Sea Island summit in Georgia. The Germans also have complained.

For their money, reporters get a worktable, chair, light, use of printers and high speed Internet access in the main press room. Such facilities, excluding communication costs, cost nothing at previous summits and generally are provided without charge at other major events.

Barry Bennett, spokesman for organizers of the Sea Island summit that runs Tuesday through Thursday, said American taxpayers would be outraged if facilities at the press center in Savannah, Ga., were free. He insisted that $350 "is a very fair price."

"It's kind of a culture clash," said Bennett. "A U.S. reporter wouldn't accept a free gift from the government, yet the French demand it."

"There's no need to subsidize the press, and the American press would not regard it as ethical," he said.

The French presidential press corps wrote a letter of protest to the U.S. Embassy in Paris, and the French Embassy in Washington raised the issue with the White House, said a French diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity.

A spokeswoman for the German Embassy in Washington, who also refused to be identified by name, said she, too, complained to the White House because such fees are unprecedented at G-8 summits.

Bennett said organizers would not budge. They are losing money on the summit despite the $350 fees, he said. The food at the cafeteria at the press center, where reporters eat for free, is being paid for with private funding, he said.

"For 350 bucks you've got everything you need for a week, including food," he said. "By American standards, it's quite a bargain."

This is what you get with Euro-socialist, wacko, anti-American, freeloading elitists. In this country, you pay for most things, even upon death.

Down with the elitists!!!

**n e r b l e** · 06-09-2004, 07:58 AM

dude, there shouldn't have even been a column about this. i mean $350? it's like the most that should have been said is "american's are cheap gits, move on" if that much.

Katis · 06-09-2004, 03:06 PM

What's the problem? Their papers can't fork over the money? Jeez, the press is not government funded over here. If we don't spend money for our news people we sure aren't going to pay for theirs!

SuperDeluxe · 06-09-2004, 05:06 PM

Basically anything that is going to paint a negative image of the current adminstration is going to get coverage here.

Good news that come from the adminstration will get glossed over like always.

Hey!

. Haven't been here in a while, thought I'd check in.

Don't you love how many Democrats want Nader to drop out?

I think it's pretty ridiculous. He has just as much right as any Republican/Democrat to run for presidency and frankly I think having 3 candidates is better than 2. The more choices that we the people have, the more democratic it is.

If he supposedly takes votes away from Kerry...maybe Kerry needs to address the areas that turn people away from him? And as far as I'm concerned in a democratic election, NOBODY is "taking votes from another." The votes are up for grabs and it's the candidates job to EARN/WIN them.

Now if there was a third party candidate "taking votes away" from Bush I would feel the same way because it's not as if I am gung-ho about Bush. I just want more options all around.

"Anyone but Bush, except Nader."

The Survivor · 06-12-2004, 04:44 AM

Hi I am new to this thread, I use to be caught in the middle of where I was when it came to politics, some views I support Democrats, others I support Republicans. Lately though, I have been kind of supportive of the more conservative ways with the expection of the views on banning abortion and gay marriage banning. Other then those two I am supportive of our President and how he has handled the war on terrorism. As it stands right now I will be voting for Bush at the next election.

France: The Great American Migraine
Written by Barbara Stock
Monday, June 14, 2004

America�s problems with France didn�t start with President Jacques Chirac. Chirac is just the latest in a line of Frenchmen to give the United States a long and seemingly unending, migraine headache.

As President Bush sat on the podium at his recent meeting with Mr. Chirac--who was looking pompous as only Chirac can--it was obvious by the body language of the president that he would rather have been having a root canal without novocain than be sitting next to this man. Chirac also reeks of arrogance and delusions of grandeur and looks as if he needs to be frisked for the knife he always buries in the back of American presidents. While Bush did what was expected of him, giving the French leader due respect, Chirac seemed to feel no need to return the favor, even publicly.

There was a time, of course, when France was important. That was a long, long time ago, and somewhere along the line France got the reputation of being just a tad quick to surrender to enemies. Has France had a great leader since Napoleon?

You might ask: ''What about the French Foreign Legion?'' Well, it seems that no French are allowed in the French Foreign Legion. Perhaps that�s why it is so feared.

It has been said that we wouldn�t have won the Revolutionary War without help from the French. The war may have lasted a year longer, but would the war have been lost without our ''good friends'' the French? What were the French after? Did they help us out of the goodness of their hearts or did they just want to poke a stick in the eye of their nemeses, the Brits?

Americans are even insulted by the French in Canada. The French Canadians tried to tear Canada apart and become a separate country, loyal to France and not England. French Canadians want to be independent, but prefer to sing the praises of the great French culture instead acknowledging Canada�s English roots. It must drive French Canadians crazy that the Queen is on Canadian money and still honored after all these years. Canada�s last president from the French providences, Jean Joseph Jacques Chretien, loved France so much that he named his first child, France. Chretien�s loathing of the United States was very apparent every time he spoke. Following Mother France�s socialist course, Chretien also destroyed Canada�s military and ran its economy into the ground paying for social programs. It is unknown if Canada�s military inherited the surrender gene from the French or the strong fighting gene from the English. Perhaps it depends on what part of Canada the soldier hails from.

The world met the great French leader and general, Charles De Gaulle, in the 1940�s. De Gaulle received his promotion to general in the field and when his country collapsed and surrendered to Nazi Germany, De Gaulle fled to England. In France, as in most countries, promotions to that level must be approved by the government, but France�s government had gone the way of the dodo, so De Gaulle just ''forgot'' to tell anyone that his high rank was not official. De Gaulle set about becoming the de facto French leader in England by driving Winston Churchill crazy.

Churchill kept De Gaulle busy by giving him control of the 1st Free French division which was made up of whatever flotsam and jetsam the British leader could dig up or have released from prison early. De Gaulle was kept away from any real war plans as the Allied leaders sent him and his band of criminals here and there, usually somewhere in a flank position because anywhere else ''General'' De Gaulle got in the way of the real soldiers.

De Gaulle drove General Eisenhower to distraction. De Gaulle was never happy that the American general was chosen to be the supreme commander in Europe. De Gaulle, of course, felt that honor should be his. The free world can thank God everyday that De Gaulle was not leading anything. He was consulted out of political respect and the knowledge that he would probably lead France after the war but that was the only reason. De Gaulle felt D-Day would be a disaster and would never be successful. That was just one just one in a long tring of De Gaulle�s opinions that were wrong.

After the Allied forces liberated France, De Gaulle was allowed to ''liberate'' Paris with his nonexistent army. This man, with his supreme ego, probably believed he really did liberate Paris. It was all political, of course, and General Patton was left grinding his teeth over the slight.

General George Patton, a great general known to be a little pompous himself, said he would rather have a battalion of Germans in front of him than a battalion of French behind him. Patton had a big mouth, but at least he had the skills in warfare to back up his ego.

De Gaulle did become the leader of France after World War II, and in the 1960�s he decided that French soil could no longer stand having American soldiers standing on it, so he pulled out of the military branch of NATO and ordered all American troops out of France. An angry President Johnson asked De Gaulle if he wanted us to dig up our dead and remove them as well. The story goes that a sputtering De Gaulle told him he didn�t mean THOSE American soldiers.

In the here and now, Chirac proudly carries on the French anti-American tradition. However, Chirac has taken it to new heights. Saddam Hussein was a longtime good friend of Chirac, and Saddam thought right up until the first bomb dropped that his good friend in France would keep him safe from the Americans. Saddam should have known that the French always promise more then they can deliver.

As irritating as France�s active support of Saddam was prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom, the revelation that France, along with Germany and Russia and the United Nations were lining their pockets off the blood of Iraqi children does not seem to fall into the category of ''friend and ally.'' The fact that our soldiers have been killed with weapons sold to Saddam by France and other ''friends'' is more than irritating. It�s infuriating, considering the current attitude of the French Government.

The latest insult was Chirac�s declining to attend President Ronald Reagan�s funeral. Already in the States for the G-8 conference, Chirac flatly refused to attend the funeral and, at first, was not even going to send a representative. After some protests from the French press, Chirac decided to send an underling. Could it be that Chirac is jealous of Reagan for doing what France could not? Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union--something that the mighty French felt was impossible.

Admit it. The average American would just like to smack Chirac every time his face is shown on the television screen. Chirac and the French use the United Nations to hang on to what little power France has left, and the fact the United States can survive quite nicely without any help from France just drives the French crazy. How dare the United States be so darn successful!

As France�s economy tanks, the United States economy grows. As the French military perfects the art of surrender, our military doesn�t know the meaning of the word. As ''new Europe'' looks to the United States for guidance--and not France--its pride is hurt. Didn�t the world get the memo from God stating that France should be the leader of the world?

The world seems to have missed that memo--or read it, laughed, and threw it away.

Why We Hate Them!

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, this question has been asked ad nauseum: Why do they hate us? Well, liberals, we Americans hate you for any of a variety of reason. We hate your sedition. We hate you are a treasonous tribe that hates America every bit as much as the Muslim terrorists do. We hate you for your shrillness, your false indignation, your condescension, your pompous-ass attitude, your smug self-righteousness, your racist belief that minorities cannot get ahead without your help, and, above all, we hate you for your �compassion,� the type displayed daily by Democraticunderground.com, Indymedia.com, Ted Rall, DailyKos.com and other compassionate liberals and their media outlets.

No event in my life has exposed the left like the events of September 11, 2001. When President George W. Bush said on September 20, 2001, �Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,� who knew he was speaking to American towns such as Berkeley, as well as Osama bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, Saddam Hussein and other �religion of peacers� who lust for the chance to strap on the dynamite, kill women and children and get their 72 virgins?

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq outraged America�s, as David Horowitz has labeled them, �fifth column,� who began protesting any American military response while the World Trade Center was still smoldering. Unconcerned that 3,000 plus Americans had been incinerated - after all, we did bring it on ourselves - liberals ( Hollywood, radical homosexuals, angry blacks, bitter feminists, neo-Marxists, global anarchists, art school graduates) got two full years of painting signs, making big puppet heads, screaming �No blood for oil,� and showing outrage for �supposed� torture photos and not an ounce of outrage for the beheading of an American citizen.

Just when one thinks Democrats have sunk as low as they can go, they outdo themselves and dig a little deeper. The recent deaths of two American heroes - former NFL star and Army Ranger Pat Tillman and former President Ronald Reagan - show the left in full �compassion� mode. Indymedia.com, an anti-war (read average Democrat) website, posted a news item concerning the death of Pat Tillman with a doctored headline: �Dumb Jock Killed In Afghanistan.� Many Democrats posted their thoughts on the article, most notably its headline. Some opted to offer their own headline. Steve the Green wrote �Coddled sports star allows materialism to foster irresponsibility resulting in his death.� He added another headline: �Citizen of empire allows ignorance to cause him to die for imperialism.� Another Democrat posted a cartoon of a tombstone, with boots and helmet nearby, with the inscription �Rest In Peace, Sucker.� The caption under the cartoon read: R.I.P. Pat Tillman - don�t blow it like he did. Commenting on Tillman�s 3.8 GPA in marketing at Arizona State, another Democrat wrote ��looks like the Taliban weren�t buying, eh?,� adding in parentheses (payback, in spades). These were just a few of the hundred or so hateful responses posted by compassionate Democrats at Indymedia.com.

Not to be outdone by the pigs at Indymedia.com, the swine at Democraticunderground.com took a break from bashing President Bush 24/7 to spit on the corpse of President Ronald Reagan. When it became evident that President Reagan was in his final hours, a Democrat going by the moniker �Mo Paul� posted a poem for the dying President:

Oh, how they cried when Reagan died,
he was their idol and their pride,
with Nancy leering at his side,
he brushed the poor homeless aside�.

Mount Rushmore they will blast to space,
and carve upon it Ronnie�s face,
a mega-monument to disgrace,
that time and justice will erase.

Democrat �Rummy is Frosted� added this stanza:

Worms and maggots will attest,
That this corpse they�ll not digest,
For with this corpse there is a guest,
Of massive wrong doing, manifest.

Another compassionate and tolerant Democrat added yet another stanza:

His fitting legacy will be bestowed,
And bards second as their final ode,
As Ronnie passes into worm food mode,
And his diapers fail to catch his steamy load.

Over at Daily Kos.com, a website linked at one time with Presidential candidate John Kerry�s official website, poster �California_uber_Alles� cheered Reagan�s death with the words, �My people died because of this vile man.� On showing a bit of decorum, respect, (or class, I might add) this poster wrote, �Should Jews respect Hitler?�

In a �Letter To God,� some Democrat calling himself The Dark Sword asked God to �Please have some mercy on Ronald Reagan and help keep him in your grace� even though, he would add, Reagan�s policies caused �thousands� to die from ��neglectful funding of AIDS research.� The letter continues, telling the Almighty to ��please show the fatherly love, forgiveness and mercy he was not able to have toward his children.�

Cartoonist Ted Rall, after hearing of Reagan�s passing, wrote in his blog that about now ��Reagan is turning a crispy brown,� inferring that the former President was the latest arrival at Hell�s gate.

Brandon Niemeyer, an Ole Miss student and compassionate seditious Democrat-in- Training, wrote a June 11, 2004 editorial for the school�s newspaper entitled �Public giving Reagan a free pass.� The column�s first line reads �The anti-Christ is dead.� Being in a red state (and Mississippi at that), let us hope Mr. Niemeyer knows some big leftist compassionate types to aid with the �Bubba-problem� he may encounter.

All of this �compassion� has occurred in the last few months. President Reagan had not even been interred before this compassionate hatred spewed forward from the sensitivity/tolerance mob. What I have cited is just a tiny bit of the left�s �compassion.� Such hatred is online daily at internet swamps also known as liberal websites.

These are average Democrats. These are their very own words. These people will vote for Democrat John Kerry in November.

Any questions?

I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread, because I'm really into politics and I proudly support the Republican party.

Is it just me or is anybody else tired of listening to what the news has to say lately. I'm so sick of turning it on and having to hear negative comments made about the President, the War in Iraq, etc. I mean yes everyone is intitled to their opinion, but having to hear the same opinion over and over again is getting old.

Thief Of Love · 07-07-2004, 10:07 AM

Arch-Rival - I'd like to say I'm surprised by those comments on the deaths of Pat Tillman and Pres. Reagan, but somehow, I'm not.

Many of you may know this site already, but it came to my attention via an Entertainment Weekly article/interview on Michael Moore. Very informative. (The site, that is)
