Free Republic

Once in awhile I get to thinking and that can be dangerous. These are just some of my Sunday morning thoughts that probably don"t mean nothing. First of all I don"t know what TikTok is. The last Tick tock I saw was in my grandpa's house in the 50's. The only facebook I knew was the party line when you learned avout your neighbors while picking up the phone. I don"t know about electric cars. I suppose if you had a long enough extension cord they would be all right. My car was a 1967 mustang that required the points...

I'm just frustrated. I have 2 older daughters in their 30's. I can't talk to them about any current topic. Everything I say triggers them. Today I got in a fuss defending the gallantry of Southern soldiers. Then I got in a fuss about being a culturist because I believe a substantial portion of the Black underclass in 5 times more likely to commit crimes and murder than other groups. 30 people a week shot in Chicago or New Orleans is OK but DeSantis is a racist. I just said I never see race in a competent individual. I just...

I have a few random thoughts on the apparent outpouring of the Holy Spirit presently in Asbury University. First of all, I'm kind of a indirect child of the 1970 revival in Asbury. I was attending a sister evangelical college in the early 1970's and an Asbury professor came to our chapel to speak. After the chapel numerous students stayed after the chapel was over. This may be subjective but the power of God seemed to descend upon the campus. I would almost describe it as a burning fire with an awesome almost fearful presence. This was accompanied by extreme...

In order to restore sanity I have to take a philosophical view of the recent elections. My question is this If people are counting votes and their is no democrat present, can cheating occur? I also heard that the democrats have recounted the 1980 presidential election and Carter has now won in a landslide! and a final thot . . .It was once said that in a democratic stronghold a brain dead lunatic could be elected . . hold it this m ight have happened!

A few takeaways form last night. We did not have a "Red Wave" We barely managed to hang on to what we have Trump needs to retire. The defacto leader of the conservative movement is DeSantis Abortion and late term baby killing is more important to 50% of Americans than crime, inflation and energy independence. Republicans need to field candidates with competence and governance. Either we get rid of mail in voting or republicans learn to cheat like the democrats. We must expand our influence among Hispanic voters. With their family values they are extremely important. I am thankful if...

I've ben trying real hard to put myself in side the head of a typical democrat. There has to be something going for the party if they can get 60 million(plus 20 million added) to vote for them. So I've put myself in the shoes of a typical democrat (probably something like a suburban millenial or intercity minority). Here is what I believe and why I love Biden so much. I believe it is better to import oil at high prices rather than use our own oil. I believe I want the right to kill my babies up until birth....

In these times turmoil in the Republic, I want to make a plea to some democrats. You know, the ones in the Humphrey-Mondale tradition. The ones that were pro union and voted for the little guy. I didn't agree with you then, but I didn't hate you. I respected you as a loyal opposition party. Times have changed and the modern progressive democrat party is given over to Nazi like tactics and the total destruction of American culture. I ask you this November to hold your nose and vote for any candidate opposing the current regime in Washington. We are...

Dr. John Franklin has a podcast about excess deaths in both the UK and the United States. Approximately 16% more people are dying in these western countries yearly than in normal years. Statistics show that the vast majority of these deaths are not covid related. My question is what do you think is causing this rapid increase in deaths?

About once a year I get fed up with modern society and I wish I was a dictator for a day. This is what I'd do: 1. Outlaw CRT or any other racist trash in our schools. 2. Require in person voting with photo id for all nonfelons voting. 3. Increase the lawsuit maximums for any MSM defamation lies. 4. Only allow persons of Judao-Christian culture to enter our country. 5. Build the biggest electrified wall from San Diego to 6.Louisiana. Term limit politicians and not allow them to abscond with campaign funds. 7.Balance the budget and use federal monies...

I believe Kyle Rittenhouse faced over 2 life sentences for our cowardice. How many of us were willing to go into an Antifa, BLM, democrat-terrorist mob and try to restore order. Most of us (myself included) cowered in fear as these democrat-inspired mobs burned and looted our cities? Kyle, a 17 year old patriot tried to restore order and ultimately had to defend himself. Many of us in rural Georgia talked about defense committees but none of us ventured into the teeth of the dragon. May Kyle be a lesson to us that the only thing that will quell a...

I haven't posted for several years after my comments were unceremonially erased by moderators. I am a conservative who voted for Trump and hope to vote for Pompeo. So my pedigree is established. I'm afraid that FreeRepublic is becoming a nucleus for some very bad information about covid. I've had several uvaccinated friends die in their 40's from covid. This dangerous possible bioweapon is very dangerous. I am vaccinated and am glad I am. My 101 year old mother in law survived a bout with covid because of her vaccinations. The vaccine is a rough one. I had 2-3 days...

Okay this is probably an old fart narcissistic post. Nobody listens to me. (not even my wife sometimes) I've been a viewer of Freerepublic for about 20 years and it is the only thing that keeps me relatively sane. So here goes- here are the reasons why I am going to vote for either Bernie or Buttieg, or Buttplug (whaterver). 1. I love Venezuela and their recycling efforts using dumpsters 2. I love the Paris climate accords and spending trillions of dollars to stop solar flares 3. I love homos and their efforts to keep the American born population down...

These are some vain thoughts from a "seasoned" citizen about how American Society should be run if I was a dictator. 1. After the 14 foot wall is built and razor-wired with electricity all border guards should be commanded to shoot on sight any attempt at illegal crossing. 2. Every school should be required to have a quota of concealed carry trained teachers in the classroom. 3. The only immigrants allowed in this country should be of Jewish or Christian origin 4. Food stamps should only be used to buy 100 lb sacks of flour, sugar, cured meat. 5. All...

I had an unfortunate event happen to me this morning. For a semi-retirement job I decided to substitute teach. After hearing 2 black students tell me they hated history, I began to extol the rich contributions of blacks to American history. Moments later I was escorted to the office by the principal and escorted to the door. He implied I was a racist and we do not single out black students in our school. The parents of the students are coming in to support the students. and I will be blacklisted from subbing in county schools.I learned firsthand the sensitivity...

I'm tired of the continued barrage of pro-Trump propaganda by Fox News and people like Rush and Sean Hannity. So here's the reasons why I am going to vote straight democrat today. First of all I love high taxes. I wish we had 90 or 95% takes on all rich people. I need some of their bling! I also would like to totally open up our borders and let a 100 million or so 3rd world immigrants in. Just imagine singing Kum-Bah-Yah with a few hundred MS-13 members. I also want Supreme Court justices that are "creative" with the Constitution(whatever...

I have some thoughts about Judge Kavanaugh. I don't think he is a conservative ideologue like Amy Barrett will be. He probably was the best bet the democrats had to replace Anthony Kennedy. He is a stare decisis technocrat. He is fair, balanced and absolutely devoted to the rule of law and the Constitution. He probably would have upset a few conservatives over time. Having said this, I have a feeling he won't be on the Supreme Court. Either he will withdraw under the withering unjust criticism that none of us could withstand or republicans like Flake, etc will doom...

A new species of invertebrate has been unearthed in Washington D.C. The scientific name is republicanus invertebratis This huge lumbering behemoth is violently afraid of the smallest weasel or vilest rodent. One branch of this species is extremely flaky while another branch is quite murky in its disposition. A member of this species Lindsay Grahamus recently had a backbone transplant and showed considerable promise.

I am a democrat(mainstream journalist) and these are the reasons why I represent about 50% of the country (especially the West coast and Northeast). 1. I believe in collusion and weaponizing the IRS, DOJ, FBI, and the State Dept. against republicans and conservatives. 2. I believe in abortion in all forms and especially late term. 3. I believe in booing God at my conventions. 4. I hate full employment (especially for Blacks and minorities). I believe welfare, food stamps and obama phones are better for the economy. 5. I hate military veterans, victims of MS-13, and companies that are moving...

Just a little New Years diversion. Just curious what fellow Freepers think will realistically happen under the Trump administration the next 4 years. I'll predict a few. 1. Taxes on Business will be lowered to 20-22% 2. Liberals and progressives will attemp to impeach Trump several times 3. We'll have a better relations with Russia, although it will be realistic and cagey 4. Inflation will heat up to about 3-4%. 5. Stock market, especially transportation and infrastructure stocks will do fine. 6. A lot of LGBT and other outrageous dialogues will lessen. 7. The Middle east will continue to be...

I have an interesting question. Should Trump get a lot of credit for hammering the Hillary corruption issue? What if someone like Mitt or Jeb or Kasich or Rubio had been the nominee? Would they have pursued Hillary as tenaciously as DJT?
