Free Republic

As long as the government is wasting our money, why don’t they hire retired drill instructors to oversee punks like these as they personally repair all the damage themselves.

The reality is many vandals never do pay for the damage. But these kids may remember losing a summer. The money for any needed equipment should be offset by any government subsidies the families would have received had they properly monitored their children.

Must be nice to have my money. Wish I still did.

Yeah, I was going to also say our problem isn’t the Luddites.

It’s the socialists.

As of now, I personally know of 4 men in my small circle of friends, all aged between 55-60, who have lost their jobs, just a few years after loosing a sizable portion of their retirement savings a few years back. They are slowly beginning to realized they’re never going to find jobs again, even if the economy improves. Among the unemployed are huge numbers of people like these who have been forced into early unfunded retirements.

There is nothing America can do right in Syria. Nor will our efforts be appreciated. There is no morally correct side to fight for, nor interest for us to protect.

It certainly is not worth the blood and sanity of our troops.

That’s the first thing I thought. After years of denying Sadam’s chemical weapon’s stash was moved to Syria, Bammy’s shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya’, that the Syrians are using chemical weapons.

This Marine mom says let the mid-east sort itself out. Even if there was a way to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys over there, this country will not support it’s military in the effort.

LOL. My liberal sister-in-law was mortified when she learned Lincoln was Republican.

Well that’s not fair! The LGBTQ will not put up with this!

What about separate bathrooms for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Queer students?

“They can thank the messiah and his RAT cohorts.”

For the most part, these are not the people who would claim Obama as messiah. They deserve our support, not our condemnation.

I read in the you-tube comments that people are contacting the woman who posted this event, who is an employee of DD, NOT the crazed customer. People are threatening the wrong person.

Our government has a constitutional duty to protect our borders. The MAIN goal of government is to protect our own people.

Since when does that take a back seat to appeasing illegal immigrants?

I do notice I tend to lose weight when I eat a lot of cheese. Interesting.

It will be interesting to see how they balance their goal of eradicating Christian values while simultaneously trying to appease Muslims, who occasionally share those same values.

Ah, yes. I didn’t notice that. Thanks. Interesting development, to say the least.

“Is there any way the House could grant him some sort of immunity from prosecution?”

You’re assuming there’s a critical mass of uncorrupt people in the house. There isn’t. Even the Rs have their secrets they don’t want out.

It’s not just the Guardian. There’s a lot coming from Canada too. These relatively free countries still have an interest in keeping USA free.

First they went after the Tea Party...

When my son was young, he brought his brand new jackknife to school for show-and-tell. Back then he was in a public school.

When he excitedly showed it to his teacher, she expressed her admiration, but then held it for him and postponed his turn at show-and-tell until the following day. She quietly called me on her lunch break and asked me to pick it up, and help my son pick out another item to show the next day. She was technically supposed to report the incident, but explained to us that she felt that would be over-reacting.

We did appreciate how she managed things. We parents were able to explain things to our 2d grader in our own way, and he happily showed off his fishing pole the next day.

Obama is organically unAmerican, at his core. Children raised in this country learn the Constitution by osmosis. Ideas like “innocent until proven guilty,” “free speech,” “freedom of religion,” and “separation of powers” are taught as much on the playground and in our families as they are in school. Naturalized citizens learn these concepts more formally, but appreciate them deeply because of the contrast they see between them and the practices from their lands of birth.

Obama acts like a banana republic dictator because in his most formative years, he was raised in a banana republic, and that lifestyle rings true for him. There’s no evidence he parted from it willingly or prefers that world from ours. He doesn’t grasp the US Constitution any more than he can throw a baseball.

It was interesting to hear Greta say how Holder used to be a well respected judge. I just can’t imagine.

Did his license plate spell out “Terrorista?”

At least my father brought me into the bar.

“you also need defense against bullets. and to that end, decent med supplies and how to use properly.”

Oh that I’ve got. You’re talking to an OCD- RN!

Bullets. When people need everything and there’s nothing on the shelves, those with bullets will be the only ones who get to keep what they own.

Conservatives need to reach out to pop culture. The low information voters won this last election.

“I vaguely remember a story ... I’m sure I read it as news ... but I could be wrong;
How the family of Saud had broken up and males were spread over the earth .. in fear for their lives ...
and they were summoned all back to the palace under the pretext of ‘all is forgive’ ...
and gullibly came back to being mowed down in the palace hall ...”

Are you a student of the Bible? Because that sounds a lot like 2 Kings 10: 18-27: Jehu’s slaughter of the prophets of Baal.

Before long we’re going to be praising the Crusaders.

Seeing liberals berated because they’re not PC always amuses me.

Most of the past presidents have served in the military, and as veterans, they can return the salute. I’m guessing that a president with not military background is still is considered “military” since he’s the CIC of the armed forces.

However, loping up the stairs, turning around, and then shaking hands with the Marine is clearly not protocol. I don’t care who you are.

My mistake. I was one of the four.

I wish there was a way to do a survey of FReepers to see how many of us got audited last year.

Thanks. I think those who advocate abortion justify it in their own twisted minds by saying it’s better than the “alternative.”

When adoption into a stable family is the “alternative,” that blows their argument out of the water. (Of course, even without adoption, those babies deserve life!)

“BTW: Did she say this in front of your kids?”

No. It was a Tae Kwon Do class and the kids were in class at the time. But as most adoptive parents can tell you, our kids simply must get used to weird comments.

After a while my kids would mimic me, and it was hilarious.
“Are those your REAL kids?”
“No Ma’am. We’re the plastic ones.”

Thanks for your comments.

When my adoptive children were younger, I noticed I got the cold shoulder from one of the other moms in waiting rooms while waiting for my children’s activities to end. My kids look nothing like we parents, so it’s obvious they’re adopted.

Finally, while talking about our kids, this mother blurted out, “Your kids are probably from prostitutes.” The entire waiting room was stunned. When she left, another mother explained she was a big pro-abortion advocate.

Since then, I’ve learned that adoptive parents and pro abortion advocates tend to be on opposite sides. Adoption remains the moral solution to unplanned pregnancies the other side finds discomforting.

Adoptive parents get so much federal money it is unreal. I know people who basically retired on it.”

You’ve got to be kidding!

Maybe you’re talking of the money paid to foster parents, but as an adoptive mother of three, I can testify I never got one red cent from the feds. Nor has any other adoptive family I know.

This is not “federal money.” This is a tax break, allowing them to keep some of their own money.

We’re all going to be targeted. I already was. Last week I had lunch with 4 conservative women. They are all stay-at-home moms or retired. I know them from church.

Three out of four of us were audited last year for the first times in our lives. We had all contributed to conservative causes or Christian charities.

The article said people were distressed that it took 20 minutes before police arrive.

In reality the citizens are always the “first responders,” regardless of their level of preparation for that role.

Too funny. That kind of stuff always happens to me too.

This is why I use facebook, even though some on this site would advise against it. I repost articles like this. It is probably the ONLY source of conservative news that most of the liberals on my “friends” list will ever see. Almost all young liberals use facebook, so we FReepers could make a big difference if we used these social networking sites as a method to spread our side of the news.

Does he have tax exempt status?

Who gave the order to deploy HSA? This question has to be hammered.

“What’s the point who is going to be punished for this no one. Obama and Hillary should be punished but they won’t be.”

We’ve got to try. They want us to give up.

At the minimum, let’s go down swinging.

The feds have NO business in education! Unfortunately, too many Americans are clueless about what they are trading for their free lunches and head start programs.

The phrase “you have to work twice as hard as everyone else” really jumps out at me, because these are the exact words I told my son in junior high, after he was diagnosed as being dyslexic. His eyes lit up with excitement and he said, “I can do that!”

After he graduated from college, which took him exactly 4 years, he had four job offers to chose from, all in his field. His employers all say the same thing: “He’s the best worker I’ve ever seen!”

I’ve yet to hear anyone describe Obama that way.

Thanks for posting. I’m going to check out Gaffigan!

Ok, who told the AP the Constitution exists?

So is ABC telling us the sequester, which they want to blame on the Republicans, is working??

I’m so confused.
