FR appears to be down today and I'm in withdrawal < |:(~

Consider this a &quot;home away from home&quot; for our friends from Free Republic. If you want to post something of interest to Canadians AND Americans, or you just want to say &quot;Hi!&quot;, this is the place!

It's tough being without real news. All I see in the MSM is non-stop "Obama's going to save the universe" junk all over the place.

There is no way on God's green earth that FreeRepublic would be disabled by outside agencies as things stand today in America.

The thing to fear most down there is that the current wave of Democrat fervor might usher in the sort of 'Human Rights Commissions and Tribunals' that were foisted upon the unsuspecting dupes (citizens) here in Canada in the wake of our own experience with 'Trudeaumania'.

Stay vigilant against any efforts to impose same in America!

Since it's among my stuff on FR and inaccessible for now, I can't quote exactly, but one of the blogs I follow has lawyer friends close to the upcoming Admin, and they claim "Hate Crimes Prevention Laws" will be a big push, right out of the box.

Silencing critics is the purpose, of course.

Fortunately for all Americans, you've been an active participant in both forums are alive to the ramifications of 'hate crime laws'.

Although a member of FreeRepublic, I'm more an observer than participant.

Freedo has a lot of archived materials here on how that whole idea went to hell in a hand basket.

Lots of posters here willing to help you folks out state-side.

I know, I'm tired of it but I think the shine could be wearing off a little or will soon when he has to "walk the walk." BTW, nice kitty you have there, mine is my old avatar from 2004 so some might remember me. She is Muffin, born 1987, died 2004, was my aunt's cat until she was on her deathbed and asked us to take her in 1995. She was a Burmese. In 2002, she was diagnosed with kidney failure but we kept her alive for 2 and a half years. I lost another black cat, Pixie, last month, she was 16. Muffin was almost 17 when she passed on.

I remember you well. Nice to "see" you!
Pardon me Dick, but opinions posted on Free Dominion are those of the individual posters and are not necessarily the opinion of Free Dominion or its operators.
Free Dominion does not advocate violence, hate speech or an overthrow of the government.

Sorry to hear about Muffin... my 4 cats send their condolences! I'll bet you've given all your kitties good lives though, what else can anyone ask for?
