Free Republic

If President Obama suffered a “shellacking” in the 2010 elections, then what he endured Tuesday night was nothing short of a vicious gangland beatdown the likes of which have rarely been seen before in the history of electoral politics.

Canada decided it’s too risky to allow free movement between Ebola prone areas and Canada. If the Obama administration cared about Americans, they might follow suit Here’s an interesting tidbit: Sierra Leone accuses Canada of discrimination over the suspension of visa applications for residents of nations currently hit with large outbreaks of Ebola. The nerve! Theo Nicol, Sierra Leone’s deputy minister of information is outraged, as he sees the Canadian government’s decision not to process applications from individuals that had been in Ebola-stricken nations within the previous 3 months as being ‘discriminatory’.

"Red Herrings" is a brilliant historical article by Andrew C. McCarthy that explains one of the most important reasons of the current dominance of the Left in the West (and more than that). It's a review and a defence of Diana West's book American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation's Character (Amazon USA) (Amazon UK) , which was published last year and provoked much controversy, as you can gauge from the review itself. The way Joe McCarthy has been treated in America reminds me a bit of the way Enoch Powell has been treated in Britain: both were...

Wow. Finally, someone said it. America needs to do something to bring our trade balance with China, back into balance. Wow. Laura Ingraham this morning on the show just preceding Maria's show, said it. She said it clearly, and was completely unapologetic about it. America needs to do something to bring back American industry.

‘There’s something seriously wrong with Barack Obama’. And until the day he’s no longer in the White House, there will be something seriously wrong with America. The Internet cartoon depicting the avuncular old geezer who looks like everybody’s Uncle Fred, Frank, or Felix accompanied by the comments: “Uncle Frank was a Conservative until the day he died in Chicago. Since then, he has voted Democrat”, describes Midterms 2014 to a ‘T’. Dearly departed relatives casting votes for Dems from their graves is not just the stuff of Internet jokes. Unfortunately, it’s part of the reality of present-day U.S. elections, including...

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

I've seen other versions, but this version is pretty funny.

Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them – the LORD, who remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who...

America is so over Obama. In 2008, the media and a majority of the voters were head-over-heels in love with the man who told them that “yes, we can” overcome war and recession.

Flag flap: Indiana veteran, wife battle homeowners association over Old Glory Posted: Oct 28, 2014 3:16 PM CST Updated: Oct 28, 2014 3:17 PM CST Bob Willits, 82, of Greenfield, Ind., insists he'll fight a local homeowners Association over the American and POW/MIA flags outside his home. FOX News - An elderly veteran and his wife say there's “absolutely no way” the flagpole outside their Indiana home is coming down, despite threats from a homeowners association — and a local prosecutor intends to back them in court if necessary. Bob and Judy Willits insist they intend to fight multiple letters...

Stopping Socialism is the most important issue before the American people this election Please let us reason together for a few moments without respect to anything we may or may not be a member of, but just Americans who love to be free. I am very concerned that the Socialistic Liberals within our Federal Government are leading us down the path to the complete loss of all Individual Liberty in the United States of America. I literally cry real tears in my observance of the death of our Constitution and the Liberty it provides. I sit alone in the quiet...

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name; That at the Name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

And the name of the city from that time on will be: THE LORD IS THERE. (Ezekiel 48:35)

I vote he keeps golfing...

In 1961, John F. Kennedy said the United States, beaten into space by Nikita Khrushchev’s Soviet Union, would put a man on the moon and return him to earth within the decade. In July 1969, President Nixon, on the deck of the carrier Hornet, welcomed home Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins of Apollo 11. What ever became of that America? What ever became of that can-do nation? What has happened to us? This October saw the vaunted Center for Disease Control and Prevention fumbling over basic questions on how to protect Americans from an Ebola epidemic in three small countries of...

Since when did, “I’m offended,” become an argument that trumps all facts, logic and common sense? When did regularly claiming to be aggrieved on behalf of some splinter of the population become a high paying gig? How did we get to a point in America where people are PROUD to tell you that they’re “victims?” There are a lot of reasons things have gone so wrong on this front, but ironically, the biggest is that our nation has had so much success. Americans are now considerably richer and more educated as a group than Americans were a few generations ago....

Our confidence in our government must be restored with new leadership. What has been the over-riding theme of life in America since Barack Obama became President in 2008? It has been the continued loss of confidence Americans have regarding various elements of the federal government. From the Centers for Disease Control, the Veterans Administration, the Secret Service, to the Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service, these and other agencies have been tainted in ways that have turned his two terms into a litany of scandals and failures. Obama is a President for whom politics is the sole reason...

"When the Going Gets Weird, The Weird Go Pro"--Hunter S. Thompson Has America passed the point of no return, where dying cultures arrive when their internal logic and external conversations descends into illiteracy, and then madness? Perhaps. For example, how is it possible that persons fresh from the site of outbreak of one of the world’s worst viruses, simply walk off airplanes into American cities? Or, consider the dangerous, utterly indefensible policy of allowing the border to stay open, and illegal entries to cross, allowed to stay, even when criminal convictions for violent crimes are proved. Again, the US victoriously...

” And I will shake all nations, And the desire of all nations shall come . . . – Haggai 2:7

An American from Wink, Texas: From the 1966 MGM album "The Orbison Way" The sun on the rim of the hill Overlooking all that I love Lights up every leaf and blade Birds circling high above With trembling hand I reach down and say This is my land This land will pass on to my child When he's grown To love it as much as I For all the sons gone by And when he's a man He'll do what he can For this my land This is my land When young men die in glory And for freedom take...
