The Truth About Evan McMullin – And Why I Am So Disappointed in My Mormon Friends For Falling For This                 I challenge any Evan McMullin supporter to tell me what they knew about Evan McMullin a year ago. Unless you are one of maybe a hundred people who ran into him at your ward picnic, the answer is nothing. That’s my answer and I am a huge political junkie. To the dismay of my family I can rattle on about all sorts of obscure politicians and behind the scenes players who influence elected politicians, but for the life of...

Could This Be the End of Global Superpowers? Recent events indicate that we will likely soon be living in a superpower-free world. The old bipolar order, in which the United States and Soviet Union competed to promote their ideologies, uphold their allies, and subvert their enemies across the globe, is long gone.

Enough all ready with the Romney ads. Is the Free Republic "the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web" or is it just a forum for anti-Romney adds?

For many years an important part of our family’s Christmas celebration has been giving the gift of farm animals to folks in the third world.  My kids (now from 6-12)  gather some of their money saved from jobs and  received as gifts for birthdays and holidays and in a family meeting we sit down with  a catalog from Heifer International http://www.heifer.org/ , a charity that got its start and specializes in  providing farm animals to families in the third world. As their website and older literature states “Heifer International is a non-profit organization whose goal is to help end world...

Indy Financial Planner Trains Iraqi Army  by Stacy Stine In the summer of 2004 Gregg Keele was living the American dream. The Keystone area professional had just moved to his new home in the countryside North of Indianapolis. Starting from scratch after college, Keele had built a large and thriving practice as an Indianapolis financial planner. Married two summers before the Keeles looked forward to a quieter life outside the big city.  But instead of the sounds of the Indiana countryside, Keele wakes today to the wail of the Muslim call to prayer and the occasional explosion of a mortar round. Like thousands...

I am looking for some statistical information on the popularity of various bible translations. My company will be introducing a product in a few months that features a customizable scripture imprint. We plan on offering The King James Version and would like to include up to 5 other translations in hopes of satisfying the largest possible demographic.     A couple of questions for the Free Republican Theologian Society.     1) Catholics what is the preferred version in the US today. Douay Rheims, NAB, ?     2) Protestants - Outside of the KJV what are the most popular translations. We were...
