American Privilege belongs to all of us. Thanks to our US Constitution grounded in Christian beliefs, all US citizens are the recipients of this priceless gift, American. American Privilege provides many wondeful benefits and opportunities to its citizen beneficiaries. America is an Opportunity Society. As a citizen of the USA you have the privilege and the opportunity to chart the course of your life. That is not to say we all start in the same place, with the same degree of opportunity. Economic, racial and cultural differences and family structure create different starting points for everyone. But the beauty and...

High rates of obesity in richer countries cause up to 1bn extra tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year, compared with countries with leaner populations, according to a study that assesses the additional food and fuel requirements of the overweight. The finding is particularly worrying, scientists say, because obesity is on the rise in many rich nations. "Population fatness has an environmental impact," said Phil Edwards, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "We're all being told to stay fit and keep our weight down because it's good for our health. The important thing is that staying slim...

I was wondering what Freepers are doing with their own health insurance needs. How have you been impacted by ObamaCare? What are your plans to secure health insurance? What is your advise for others? Perhaps we can share some insights and inform each other. I am a self employed 63 year old married male. Neither my wife nor I have had health insurance for years. We are both fortunately, very healthy. Wife takes thyroid and estrogen hormone replacement medications. I take none. I pay out of pocket for her meds and doctors when needed. I do not plan to enroll...

The Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEMT[A]) is an environmental movement that calls for all people to abstain from reproduction to cause the gradual voluntary extinction of humankind. VHEMT supports human extinction primarily because, in the group's view, it would prevent environmental degradation. The group states that a decrease in the human population would prevent a significant amount of man-made human suffering. The extinctions of non-human species and the scarcity of resources required by humans are frequently cited by the group as evidence of the harm caused by human overpopulation.

Those of us who believe in Traditional American Values, The American Constitution and a Judeo/Christian God are under assault. We are being attacked both on a National and International level. While I know this is not news to many, it is time to acknowledge and reaffirm the seriousness of the battle. With the ascendence of the Radical Marxist Obama to the very Highest Authority in our Nation, the Left has abandoned all preteneses of moderation and compromise. They no longer feel the need to cloak their truse desires. They speak openly of Redistribution of Wealth, Government as the Ultimate Authority,...

Simple question...Will Obama run? As the economy worsens, scandles mount, poles decline...will Obama stay the course and go down with the ship? Or will he give way to a new democrat nominee either through a primary challenge or resignation?

I am contemplating a form of politicol/cultural activism that may be totally unique. I need help from some wise and insightful Freepers. I need to know: 1) Should I do this. (I need a little nudge) 2) Ideas for the posters. (you guys are very creative) Ok here's the concept. In my beloved home town of Tampa we have a relatively new phenomonem. Pan handlers occupy almost every street corner. Generally there are 3 or 4 at one intersection. They have now been afforded an aire of legitimacy as the local "public servants" have distributed to them, florescent vests. They...

I watched Brokaw tonight and he went to all of these places in the country that had been hit hard by this horrible economic wave. People adjusting, some not. But for all a real scary time. Scary for those who have seen the ones that have lost to the point of loosing no more. Gone are their jobs, homes and health care. All in that order. Let alone what to eat. Many the fortunate ones have moved back with their parents. Families. Before all of that happened was the first wave that hit peoples "investments". Half or more gone in...

I am using this post to attract comments and build a powerful "talking Points" document. Freepers are the most informed and articulate researchers and commentators anywhere. I want to enlist your expertise to generate concise comments regarding 2 aspects of the pending CIA lawsuits. 1- What exactly is happening? 2- What does it mean? Using your concise comments I will create a powerful "talking points" document to be circulated to my email address book. I started to do it myself and then realized I have a powerful source ally at my fingertips.

What this country has seen over the last two terms of GWB is the opportunity of companies aligned with GWB to make billions when a tragedy occurs ...off of taxpayers money. Big Money! Beyond comprehension. Halliburton/Bechtel and its no bid contracts in Iraq.They have been paid billions with no oversight enforcement. Is this a correct assumption? If it is not why then are there no voices being heard in opposition? Could it be Apathy. Katrina/ FEMA contracts. Due to a recent federal court order all FEMA contracts are to be protected by this ruling and the details must remain secret....

I will be in Canada during the convention, without Fox News or a computer. I am anticipating the convention, and would appreciate hearing your informed Free Republic predictions. How will protesters impact the event and public opinion? What about terrorism, press coverage, and the bounce? Will this be a pivotal event, non-event or something in between?
