Free Republic

Santellie: “Where did we go off the rails?”

Over a period of about 50 years we moved from a free market economy to a centrally planned one.

50 plots?

But, I was told the war is over.

If this idiot doesn’t kill or maim anyone it’s proof positive that guns are safe.

“Saudi Arabia plans to supply the Syrian opposition with anti-aircraft missiles to counter President Bashar al-Assad’s air force, German news weekly Der Spiegel reported Sunday.”

MANPADS for AQ.

“A lightweight dummy rode in the saddle for the remote-controlled test flight in front of press.”

President Obama saves the day again!

“James Lovelock, the maverick scientist who became a guru to the environmental movement with his “Gaia” theory of the Earth as a single organism, has admitted to being “alarmist” about climate change and says other environmental commentators, such as Al Gore, were too.”

When you’ve lost Lovelock, you’ve lost the war.

Assad vs AQ...no good side.

Obama vs Putin...no good side.

How about that...

Obama vs Putin.

This should be good.

Short, but good.

He’ll get a deferred judgment and no record.

He should have been completely left alone, of course.

I understand the “tease” as it is often done by news channels.

And I don’t like it.

Announcing that you will announce something very important later is...not a good way to handle things, imo.

If it’s important, why are you waiting?

Beck seems to be stealing the techniques of Richard C. Hoaglund.

Drudge did a “shake the world’s foundations” ploy years ago. He hit on it for a while and then went silent. I got on his radio show and asked him what was up. He wouldn’t say other than “the story is still out there” (?) and I never heard another thing about it.

Obama has just nominated Ken Hackett for Ambassador to the Vatican. He is the former CEO of Catholic Relief Services.

No word yet on whether he’s gay.

So, when are they starting in on the Girl Scouts?

“She has already been received by the Pope, and she received communion while there.”

Yes, and this Pope has said a lot of the right things, but this action above is amazing. She should have been excommunicated long ago.

The Church is running scared when it comes to abortion. If it backs its words with actions it will lose massive membership numbers and money. The Church today is virtually a secular foundation of sorts, with the trappings of a religion.

I’m not talking about the laity, but the leadership structure, which imo is quite misguided and infiltrated by people with an evil agenda.

Almost every institution on the planet suffers from a lack of good leadership and governance currently.

Her statement would lean in the direction of sacrilege by demeaning (insulting) the term “sacred ground”. This stupid statement doesn’t rise to that level, of course.

That said, she should have been excommunicated long ago for her actions relating to abortion, which have been many and varied.

The rule of law is breaking down in all areas, it would seem.

Who is her Bishop and why hasn’t she been excommunicated?

Hick is in trouble over gun grabbing and a chicken reprieve for a mass murderer he admits is guilty.

Hick’s political machine hasn’t started in on Tanc yet. This will get ugly. The local La Raza crew will be on the streets when thing really get going.

The list of BIG stories that turn into nothing is very long with Beck.

When someone says big story tomorrow, you can be pretty sure there isn’t one.

Big stories are broken immediately, otherwise you’ll lose out to someone else who will break the story today.

In no way racist.

Not our fault stupidity comes in all colors.

He called 911 first, right?

As always, thanks for an interesting article.

There are some definite investing opportunities to be explored here. I’m already in some of the players but will be picking up more.

Elvis is dead and China doesn’t feel so good itself.

We keep seeing polls that would indicate the majority of people “get it” but Jugears is still polling 46-51% approval in various polls.

It doesn’t make sense.

RACIST!

Wait, isn’t that campus a gun-free zone?

My property is a free-gun zone. It works fine.

Somebody had to emergency drop their chemtrail material.

Everyone under that will be dead in 24 hours.

Is that you, Mayor Bloomberg?

Seen it before. Assumed it was Korea.

Charles Bronson, please pick up the white paging phone...Charles Bronson...

Maybe Kyle and those killed in the helo crash were a secret group within the Seals. And someone decided to take them out.

Or, maybe being a Seal is dangerous work.

That reminds me, in Texas it is a felony to fire a bullet that crosses a property line.

I agree in general about warning shots. However, the homeowner was smart to say he feared for his life.

I’ll take a shot at it, no pun intended.

Burglary does not involve confrontation with a property owner or employee, being done at an empty property.

Robbery is done by way of home invasion with the owner present. In this case, we have the owner present, but since the perp never got to the robbery part, he can only be accused of home invasion.

One can invade a home with no intent to rob or burgle, but rather an intent to commit some other crime which I’ll leave to your imagination.

Would be interesting to hear the details of the shooting. Sounds like the bad guy had the drop on the innocent citizen, yet the citizen managed to defend himself quite well.

Just a little more blood on the President’s hands.

That is simply veiled leftist BS.

The rich pay a LOT of taxes. We need more rich people, not less. And the richer the better.

Reading the comments on these financial posts tells one why very few are successful at investing.

Clinton could talk his way out of this.

This clown? I don’t know.

That’s very interesting. If your friends are correct, TIGHAR is a complete fraud...and it’s very odd that no one has located orsalvaged the plane if the location is that easy to obtain.

It would make one heck of a traveling display, along with a collection of related items.

An underwater camera would cost a lot less than $3mm, tell them they are wasting their chance at world fame and fortune!

Somebody brought a dumbass to a dog fight.

The YMCA wasn’t enough.

There can be many different reasons to buy or rent an interest in real estate.

I did not miss my chance to add to my stable of properties. I bought a foreclosed house in early 2012 a few blocks from my personal residence for $60k cash. Then put $10k into it and rented it. Netting 11.4% before tax benefits.

In this case, I care about the rental market in my submarket. Nationwide statistics are meaningless in most real estate investing.

The house sold for $195k in 2007. It would bring about $125k net currently. What the price gyrations are don’t matter, I’m after income, especially low-taxed income. A younger investor might be leveraging a piece of land for speculation instead, and that could make great sense for a younger person with time to recover from a bloody nose.

The opportunities to make money in real estate are almost endless and quite fascinating, no matter how “the market” is being perceived by most.

I live by Christian principles, imperfectly like all of us who follow the path.

This self-reverential silliness is an embarrassment.

But it is typical of what happens when men place themselves between Christians and Christ.

No intermediary between a soul and Christ is required.

Besides, I was told there would be no math.

Early reports often wrong. Will wait for more information.

Terrible thing to happen.

IIRC, the media was all over Bush for not doing anything for 4 minutes after being told we were under attack on 9/11.

He was of course waiting to be taken to the command center in Air Force One.

Steamboat is about 3 hours NW from Denver, on the western slope. Routt County is a low population county, lots of cows. It’s conservative once you get out of the Steamboat vortex.
