Free Republic

The House on Wednesday passed Republicans' own version of the Buffett Rule, which allows wealthy Americans to voluntarily pony up to reduce the deficit. The bill, labeled the Buffett Rule Act, passed by voice vote, meaning Democrats and Republicans agreed with it. Under the legislation, which would still need Senate approval, taxpayers could check a box on their taxes and send in a check for more than they owe to the IRS. "If Warren Buffett and others like him truly feel they're not paying enough in taxes, they can use the Buffett Rule Act to put their money where their...

Obama Got His 3 a.m. Call. He Decided To Sleep Through It. —Ace Drudge highlights part of the story that the LA Times, of course, does not. The president was updated throughout the evening, and notified late Tuesday that Stevens was unaccounted for. Obama learned Wednesday that Stevens was confirmed dead Wednesday morning, the official said. Man needs his rest. He's in Vegas right now. You can't do Vegas right if you're short of sleep. By the way, the media is all dutifully reporting the Obama line: That while he is jetting his ass off to Las Vegas, "it's not...

last night I was listening to Levin and Batchelor. At the 9 PM news break, the lead story was not the embassy attacks ,but rather some nonsense about Omega 3 supplements not working as well as real fish. The second story was about some contaminated dairy products. They did not mention at all the attacks. of course that was what Levin and Batchelor was talking about. As a consolation, they didn't have the out of breath orgasmic Ann Compton give yet another panegyric to the One.

Statement on Rape and Pregnancy August 20, 2012 Washington, DC -- Recent remarks by a member of the US House of Representatives suggesting that “women who are victims of ‘legitimate rape’ rarely get pregnant” are medically inaccurate, offensive, and dangerous. Each year in the US, 10,000–15,000 abortions occur among women whose pregnancies are a result of reported rape or incest. An unknown number of pregnancies resulting from rape are carried to term. There is absolutely no veracity to the claim that “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to shut that whole thing down.” A woman who...

Taxpayers Foot the Bill for Obamacare Ads Posted on June 15th, 2012 by Maddie Eldridge Many of you may recall a now infamous boondoggle from 2010, when the Obama administration spent more than $3 million in taxpayer money to air three pro-Obamacare commercials starring Andy Griffith. According to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), these ads incurred a total of $404,000 in production costs and $2.8 million in national media placement costs. To boot, the ads were deemed misleading by the nonpartisan organization FactCheck.org, as The Washington Examiner points out. Well folks, HHS is at it again. As...

It's bad enough that we have to suffer with this program, but now our tax dollars are paying for Obamacare commercials on "Hannity" We are going to hell.

Has anyone else noticed the food stamp ads on the radio. I guess Obama need smote parasites on the dole at taxpayer expense. Aren't you glad that you work. I have no issue with a safety net for the truly needy, but to condone parasitical behavior is obscene.

Every night I see on Foxnews, yes Foxnews, these nauseating ads with actors pretending to have been saved by "the new health care law" . How many millions is HSS spending on these "HealthCare .gov" commercials?

i listen to WABC to get my daily fix of Rush/Hannity /Levin et al., but at the top and bottom of the hour I have to suffer with doses of liberal Ann Compton style pro- obama propaganda. I am sick of hearing "gutsy, historic etc....". any way to listen without this crap?

Dreams of Obama's second term The sad part is, it's probably true. Yet another reason why Obama must be voted out (Hat Tip: Lance K).

OMG! Carter thinks Iranian nukes 'not a catstrophe' OMG.... When it comes to the Middle East, the former president never ceases to amaze.In an interview published in Time, he was asked: "What do you think it means that Iran seems to have its first nuclear fuel rod?" His complete answer: "Well, of course, the religious leaders of Iran have sworn on their word of honor that they're not going to manufacture nuclear weapons. If they are lying, then I don't see that as a major catastrophe because they'll only have one or two military weapons. Israel probably has 300 or...

I recently started to watch , and I find many shows and commentators are better than the regular Foxnews. Lou Dobbs is certainly better than Shep , and Liz Claman is intelligent eye candy if you're sick of bleach jobs.

Accuses Newt Gingrich of sexual harassment

Perfidious Ben & Jerry's Ben & Jerry's can't stand an occupation:- Ben & Jerry's, a Vermont-based firm with a known philanthropic reputation (known to be left-leaning) had announced in 1998 that it would no longer purchase water from an Israeli company in the Golan Heights, which Ben and Jerry considered under illegal Israeli occupation. But that's because Israel is involved. Otherwise: Ben & Jerry’s Becomes First High-Profile Company to Support Occupy Wall Street.
