As I told you a few weeks ago, this November the voters of California will decide whether or not marijuana should be legalized or not. In the article, Legalizing Marijuana, So Politicians Can Spend More Money, I gave my reasons for being against the initiative. After all, the last thing we need to do in California is feed the drug habit of politicians by giving them another product to tax millions of dollars on for their already failed programs. That's right, tax dollars is just as addictive to politicians as crack cocaine is to those caught in it's web...

The citizens of Arizona would like everyone who plans on boycotting them, to come on down and see the great contribution the Mexican Nationals and other illegal immigrants have blessed the once drab looking Sonoran Desert with. So why not take a vacation this summer and stroll on down immigrant Highway to see for yourself all the wonderful abstract works of art that they have left for us to enjoy. After all, Obama and the Democrats want us to believe that these innocent immigrants have contributed a lot to America. Well, I think that every liberal who desires to boycott...

To set up the video at the end of this article, I need to take you back to February 23, 2009  when Arizona State Senator Jonathan Paton (R-Tusgon) invited law enforcement officials to the Capital for a hearing.  Paton asked the officers to describe how bad the border violence has become in Arizona.  What the Senate Judiciary Committee learned was that Pima and Cochise counties were seeing an alarming increase of more and more "Rape Trees".  These are memorials, if you will, that are left behind by Mexican drug cartel members, and illegal male immigrants who have raped illegal...

In what I can only describe as being one of the most remarkable performances I have ever seen, two boys from the Catalunia Catholic Boy's choir sing the "Meow" song to classical music. You really must see this to believe it. I came away from watching this video with a new found respect for the talent these boys have been blessed with. The official name of the choir is called "La Escolania", and they are associated with one of the oldest monasterys in Europe, the monastery of Montserrat. This monastery is the destination of some of the largest pilgrimages in...

In the future, the history books will not teach that Obama changed things for the better.  No, the history books will teach that Obama's socialist programs and his fascists ways woke up a sleeping giant, that steamrolled the left out of power.  Children of the future will learn that honest politicians like Chris Christie, Michele Bachmann, and others changed things for the better by standing up to the lies and propaganda of the left.  Children will hear from their parents that America was almost lost by going down the same path as the failed governments of Europe like like...

Check out this video from Turkey of a stray cat comforting his fallen friend. As I watched this video, it made me aware of the lost feeling those who do not believe in God must have when a loved one dies. After all, If they have no God to believe in, then they do not have comfort when they lose a loved one.   Further more, if they do not have Christ, then they also do not understand that through Him there will be a resurrection of the dead. Some to eternal life and others to eternal damnation.  I cannot...

On the morning of March 22, I raised my flag to the top of the 25 foot pole In my front yard.  I must have forgotten to tie it off, because when I returned later in the afternoon from presenting my Sunday message I noticed that the flag had been lowered to half mast.  That evening I watched the the House of Representatives vote on the Senate's version of the Health Care legislation.  As the remaining votes needed to pass the legislation were cast, I began thinking about the damage this legislation would do to America.  It was then...

With everyone pumping oil out of the Gulf of Mexico except for America, it would seem like the environmental wackos are getting their wish. Many Americans are finding it more and more difficult to pay for the high price of gasoline forced upon us by a government caused lack of oil supply. What we may soon be forced to drive is something similar to a vehicle I saw in a museum when I was stationed in Germany back in the mid "70"s as a soldier. It was a funny looking three wheeled vehicle produced by the Messerschmitt Company. The...

This was in the Rockford Illinois Craigs list volunteer section.Are you afraid of having the best health care in the world nationalized, like General Motors was? Are the taxes already too high for your liking? Has the policies of Socialists like Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Chuck Schumer, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and other Democrats left you or many of your friends and relatives unemployed and angry? Well maybe it's time you did something about it. I am looking for volunteers willing to write for a growing, nationally recognized political blog. Write hard hitting news articles and political opinion pieces...

In today's technological age, it might seem silly for intelligent people to consider a spiritual world where beings we cannot see might exist. Oh it's fine to read books and watch Hollywood movies about the afterlife and spirits that roam the netherworld but that's all make believe, not the real world. In the real world we are taught that reality consists of what we can touch, taste, see, hear, smell, and that the spirit world is for those weak minded individuals who use religion as a crutch to get through the day.  However, what if I told you that...

For the last decade, American men have been inundated with the idea that women prefer men who are in touch with their feminine side, men who are not afraid to spend a little extra time in front of the mirror, and maybe even wear a little make up to highlight the features of their face. We are told that men like John Kerry and Barack Obama are what women really want. Men who are not only unashamed of their femininity, but men who will even go so far as to display such faith in their feminism in public as...

Just one quick look at men's chastity belts is enough to make you shudder at such antihuman invention of the mankind. British and German women, however, feel free to make their husbands wear genital irons before letting them leave for work. The most horrible thing about it is that "cuffed" men do not give way to despair: they easily communicate with other men, who have their penises locked up in their pants. Chastity belts pose only one problem for their owners - men feel shy to use public toilets. Men's chastity belts were invented for the first time in England,...

If you need a smile, then you will enjoy this. I received in an email this morning and it has really started me off on a foot. Enjoy. The economy worries everyone…even this poor dog. Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That’s almost $21.00 in dog money.-Joe Weinstein If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.- Phil Pastoret A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.- Josh Billings Dogs are not our whole life, but they make...

In 1994, when Deion Sanders left the Atlanta Falcons for the San Francisco 49ers, there apparently was some bad blood between him and hos former Falcon teammate Andre Rison. This bad blood was on center stage when it came time for the 49ers to play the Falcons. The sports media had done all it could to make sure something would happen by constantly asking the two what tey were going to do when Sanders covers Rison. It was their way I guess of promoting the game in which the two would meet. The game was hyped as much for the...

Hey you all, a fellow Freeper who uses the ID, OneVike is out of town, and he asked if I would post a link for the most popular videos that he has found to date. He put this list together last week and asked if I would be kind enough to post it for him. He is out of town because his wife is in dire straights. It seems she has had a turn for the worse with her surgery they did down in UC Davis. They operated on her neck and he humbly asks for all his fellow Freepers...

Photographer Norbert Rosing, wanted to shoot some photos of some sled dogs with the sunset as a backdrop. So he found the perfect spot around Canada’s Hudson Bay. He had it all set up with a local who tethered his dogs to a stake for the shoot. The photographer set his equipment up at a distance to allow for the right effect from the sunset in the background and just as he was ready to begin the shoot, an unexpected visitor arrived. What you will see in the accompanying photos is a polar bear doing something so unexpected, that it...

A woman who must be holding a baby from the sounds on the video sees a bear coming onto her porch from inside. She attempts to shoo it away, but obviously the bear does not even know she is inside watching through a window. It seems the bear wants her garbage, and the moment the bear gingerly grabs a plastic bag of garbage a cat appears and confronts the bear. What we have next is a standoff that the bear is not sure he wants to get into. Eventually he does get the garbage bag, but he takes all precaution...

The convention is being held at a fancy resort, features $550 ticket prices, a steak and lobster dinner and a guest speaker with a $100,000 speaking fee. It’s sponsored by a for-profit company with a mysterious wealthy benefactor, and its organizers, who have been accused of secrecy and corruption, have threatened lawsuits against dissenters and clamped down on news coverage. Sounds like just the kind of thing that tea party activists, whose populist outrage is directed at the Washington and Wall Street establishments, would be up in arms over. Except it’s a tea party convention. Billed as a pivot...
