Free Republic

This has been making it's rounds on the internet. While not completely historically accurate, looking at the comments, it seems even kids born in the 90's miss Reagan. There are enough touches to this picture that remind me of the 80's (see the DARE sticker?).

I've recently discovered the wonders of "progressive" taxation. Earning a pretty average salary I never thought I would be complaining about higher taxes and here I am. In a nutshell, I decided to go to graduate school. My employer being very nice decided to pay for all of it. Then I discovered that if your employer pays for undergraduate class it's tax free. If it is graduate school it's taxed at 33% as income. What does that do? Well, each graduate class costs about 6k. I take 6-7 classes a year. 6x7= 42. Tack on 42k to my regular income...

This is a LONG smear email that has gone viral. Thought you should see it Dear friends, So many people have asked me about what I know about Sarah Palin in the last 2 days that I decided to write something up . . . Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in common: their gender and their good looks. :) You have my permission to forward this to your friends/email contacts with my name and email address attached, but please do not post it on any websites, as there are too many kooks out there ....

Everyone who hasn't already should watch this speech by Reagan in 1964. This was the first time I saw it in its entirety. All I can say is wow. The Speech

ArcXIX is the Kos diarist who started all this stuff on the Palin family and the baby. ArcXIX has pushed the story that Sarah Palin's youngest child is really Bristol Palin's child. If you go here, you will find a profile of a user at the 1up.com website. If you follow the Google Cache, that was oddly changed on August 31, 2008, you will notice that the user's AIM user ID is ArcXIX. Is 24 year old Charles Hartley the diarist? Is this the person who started all the trouble for the Palin family? And if so, is he connected...

The rapper Diddy completely loses it over Palin's selection. It's quite funny. His incoherent ramblings are quite representative of the logic people use to support Obama. See here

The liberal media and democrats has been hammering the question "who is going to take care of the baby". Mccain campaign ought to compile a video with reporters repeatedly asking it and run it on the lifetime network maybe add a glass ceiling and some comments about women belonging in the home. this particular exchange has to be in the ad. The way the guy asks the question is impressive and it even pissed off the female reporter up next: "Weir brusquely interrupted, virtually shouting. WEIR: She has an, she has an infant with special needs. Will that affect her...

As we watch people build a temple in the name of a false prophet, am I the only one who is reminded of the golden calf? The people foolish enough to do so build a temple and altar in his name and there are songs an hymns celebrating his glory. Here is a man who claims to be a Christian merrily violating several pretty important commandments. I am the Lord your God You shall have no other gods before me You shall not make for yourself an idol You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God...

this will never ever be reported by the MSM. its brutal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m89m0pC

New McCain ad titled Fan Club is hilarious. View it here

I posted this in the other thread but at the request of several posters ive made a new thread so more can see it. The Dems have shut off camera, mics and lights on the floor to stop debate and this is the only video from the house: http://qik.com/johnculberson

There is a statue in Hanoi where McCain was shot down. I am amazed this exists: taken from http://www.everywheremag.com/places/4940/ The inscription apparently says " on October 26, 1967, John McCain was shot down here. Thirty-one other U.S. aircraft were also downed on this day, according to the inscription. " very strange. I guess they want tourism.

It wasnt long ago that Berkely, CA declared the US Marines invaders and asked them to leave. Tomorrow the Chinese People''s Liberation Army will parade through San Francisco where the authorities are welcoming them with open arms. I know this is california, but anyone else find this incrediby weird, even by california standards? You've all seen these guys in the blue and white tracksuits (uniforms?), shades and ear peices. Apparently they are members of the elite "Flame Guards" comprised of counter terrorist troops from the chinese military. Apparently they are jerks too: Lord Coe blasts 'horrible Chinese thugs' who barged...

Barack Obama's controversial pastor reprinted an article by a Hamas leader in the church's newsletter. In an issue dated July 22, 2007, in a section titled "Pastor's Page," the church reprinted an article by Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzook in which he justifies Hamas' withholding of recognition of Israel's right to exist. The article originally appeared as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times. Dov Hikind, a New York state assemblyman, issued a news release condemning the Democratic presidential candidate's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., and calling on Obama to sever his ties with Wright and his church, Trinity...

Looking at images of the 1936 Nazi olympics we can't help but ask ourselves what they were thinking. Today we have a similar situation brewing with the 2008 communist Olympics in Beijing. A land where christians are persecuted, democracy protesters are crushed with tanks and tibetans are ethnically cleansed. They have been awarded the olympics what can we do about it? Do you want your kids and grandkids to see pictures like this and ask what you did to oppose it? It's beginning:Britain kow tows to China as athletes are forced to sign no criticism contracts China has no freedom...

Perhaps you remember in 2006, when Governor Kathleen Sebelius took a stand for gaming legislation that eventually failed to get off the ground, saying "video games and music lyrics promote violence ... Moms and dads shouldn't be alone in their fight to raise children the right way." Perhaps unwilling to learn from mom's example, her 23-year-old son John has created a board game called "Don't Drop the Soap" in which players "fight [their] way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole ... Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss' lasagna in...

Fellow MA residents have your health insurance costs also gone up since Romney's socialist-light plan? I just noticed that my employer has dropped the less expensive option entirely starting 2008. My health insurance has gone up by $20 a month. My boss had his family coverage go up by $80. Apparently this is the first time anything like this has happened at my employer so I am wondering if anyone else has noticed the same.

What is a motivational poster? It's an internet meme that can be funny and informative when done right. The last thread looks like was in 2006 so I am starting this one. Lets see what you guys can do. I could use some laughs today. Here's one I just made to get us started.

I found this on the british embassy site in the US. This is incredible and gives you a good idea of the progress of conversion of Europe to Eurabia. It is featured prominently on www.britainusa.com . America, look at your future.
