Free Republic

If you are dismayed by Trumpism, don't kid yourself that it will fade away if Donald Trump fails to win the Republican nomination. Trumpism is an expression of the legitimate anger that many Americans feel about the course that the country has taken, and its appearance was predictable. It is the endgame of a process that has been going on for a half-century: America's divestment of its historic national identity.

As Miss Coulter explains in her Washington and Lee University Mock Convention speech: Immigration, Immigration, Immigration

Obama and Hillary are evil and some Republican candidates are bad. Stay mad, but laugh occasionally because it's refreshing. Then, let's take America back.Sometimes life is hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm68ga5yR4w Yeah, but wouldn't it be terrible if everything always happened just as we want it to? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R1RS7xfGT8 This is pretty much how government really works. They just aren't this good as telling us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5cR6JpRCnM Jimmy Buffett manages to offend just about everyone while being funny as he does it. That's good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wneCa_yIuzg It's about time for a drink. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBtjoRpmOjc   OK, it's time to get serious again. Obama said, "You didn't build...

THE population of nonreligious Americans -- including atheists, agnostics and those who call themselves "nothing in particular" -- stands at an all-time high this election year. Americans who say religion is not important in their lives and who do not belong to a religious group, according to Pew Research Center, have risen in numbers from an estimated 21 million in 2008 to more than 36 million now. Despite the extraordinary swiftness and magnitude of this shift, our political campaigns are still conducted as if all potential voters were among the faithful. The presumption is that candidates have everything to gain...

The best New Year's Resolution I ever made was to stop trying to reason with unreasonable people. That may be especially valuable during an election year. With 4 of the 9 Supreme Court justices being more than 75 years old, the next president will probably be appointing replacements who can help determine the direction of American law well into the next generation.

If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake. 2 Corinthians 4: 3-5

I KNOW I AM GOING TO GET FLACK..I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT NAY-SAYERS. I Am disappointed in our recent leadership. This is our country we are talking about... LEADERSHIP: MY NEW VISION OF D.C:...STRONG LEADERS - THE STRONGEST WE HAVE DONALD/CHRISTIE: DONALD TRUMP (PRESIDENT) - CHRIS CRISTIE (VICE PRESIDENT) IMMIGRATION: I 100% AGREE WITH THE BUILDING OF THE WALL. BUT WE DON'T BUILD IT.. THEY BUIDL IT.. ON THEIR WAY HOME THEY HAVE TO PICK UP AND PLACE A BRICK AND TROWEL AND PLACE A BRICK INTO THE WALL REPRESENTING THEIR TRESPASSING. THE WALL WOULD NOT BE SO BIG IF...

Despite our obvious differences, Michelle and I will always hold you and Bill in high esteem as one of our closest enemies and shall always cherish the memories, disappointments, havoc you have both brought forth to our lives, my administration Dear Hillary: I hope by the time you receive this letter, you find yourself well and in good spirits amidst your grueling presidential campaign. I did not want to waste any time in responding to your inquiry regarding my intent to endorse you. In consideration to your request, however, there are issues, most of which, I deem crucial and in...

In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain. For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?" The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them. The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence he hates with a passion. On the...

For the first time during his seven years in office, President Obama visited a mosque on Wednesday to share a message of 'religious tolerance and unity.' "We're one American family, and when any part of our family starts to feel second class or separate or targeted, it tears at the very fabric of our nation," the president said. Muslims, he continued, are "some of the most resilient and patriotic Americans you'll ever meet." He even spoke about how "Islam has always been part of America." "Islam has always been part of America," he said, detailing the beginnings of the...

(CNN) - Seeking to rebut what he views as perilous election-year bombast about Muslims, President Barack Obama is at a mosque in Baltimore on Wednesday, his first visit to such a site in the United States."Muslim Americans keep us safe," Obama told the audience, crediting the contributions Muslims have made to communities. "They are our police. They are our fire fighters. They're in (the Department of) Homeland Security." At the Islamic Society of Baltimore, a 47-year-old mosque with thousands of attendees, Obama heralded the contributions of Muslims to American society while issuing a forceful counterpoint to the language favored by...

The White House said Monday that President Obama's visit to a Baltimore mosque this week is "important for the country" in light of anti-Muslim sentiment from Republican presidential candidates. Mr. Obama's visit to the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday will be "an opportunity to reaffirm that religious freedom and religious tolerance [are] essential to our way of life in this country," said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. "The president's visit I think, is an important moment to acknowledge those two things," Mr. Earnest said. "No one, whether they're a political candidate or not, should feel like it is...

On today's PowerPoint, Pastor Jack Graham recalls the words of Ronald Reagan, who said, "America needs God more than God needs America," and offers a call to prayer for us to return to the spiritual foundation on which we were built.

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. - Matthew 6: 22-23

Election 2016 is about the turnaround survival or continuing downfall of Western Society as we know it. The 2016 presidential race is not about whether Donald Trump would make a better president than Senator Ted Cruz. It’s not about Fox News, nor about the shameful way the ‘journalists’ of the day now ‘moderate’ presidential debates. It’s not about the latest National Enquirer type, 11th-hour smear, lies and claimed Sainthood. That was both the 2008 and 2012 election. The 2016 election is about the possibility of releasing the USA from its lockdown of hatred; a hatred that has all but swiped...

The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went...

Just don't take the red pill. Whatever you do, don't take the red pill Who voted for an immigration policy whose purpose is to change the racial, ethnic and cultural make-up of the United States? That is exactly what the Kennedy Immigration Bill of 1965 was designed to do and just what it has done. Who voted for open borders and constant calls for amnesty for anyone who can drag themselves across the border? Has anyone else noticed that the estimate of how many illegals are in the United States has been stuck at 11 million for at least the...

The one term that's used overwhelmingly in scripture to describe Almighty God's relationship with us is "Father." He most certainly IS our Father in heaven. He created us and knit every human being together in their mother's womb. He loves us with the fierce protectiveness of a father and the tender compassion of a mother. He delights in our company, trust and obedience. So, what do good parents do when their beloved child rebels against the rules of the home designed to keep them safe, meant to train them to mature into caring, productive citizens? What do you do when...

An idea Obama wants to bring to the U.S. is out of control in Britain How anyone could have thought this was a good policy, I cannot imagine. People migrate to your country from elsewhere and can’t find a job that pays what they want or need, so the government says, hey, no problem, we’ll supplement your income. Remember this fundamental principle: When you subsidize something, you get more of it. So if you want lots of people coming into your country who can’t earn enough to live without taxpayyer subsidies, then by all means, offer those subsidies! They’ll come....

Donald Trump has been savaged by economists and media aligned with establishment candidates for tough positions on trade—including a 45 percent tariff on imports to force China to the negotiating table. Actually, he's got it right. Establishment Democrats and Republicans embrace free trade because it puts free markets first with benefits any decently trained economist should extoll. Unfortunately, trade with China and many nations is hardly market-driven. It hurts U.S. growth and victimizes America's families. Obama's six-year expansion has averaged 2.2 percent annual economic growth and added 13.6 million jobs. Coming off a similar bout with double-digit unemployment, Reagan delivered...
