Free Republic

Your picture of a Shinola can reminds me of something I heard in Texas not long ago, Conserv1:

If y'all put it on y'all's boots and they suddenly look better, it's Shinola. If y'all put in on y'all's boots and they suddenly stink, it's obama."

It’s good to see some people still care about the Bill of Rights in Maryland.

Our "wonderful" Governor Hickenlooper granted this man a reprieve this week. A monster that has shown absolutely no remorse.

Representatives of the Democratic [sic] party always side with criminals, who do their worst to reelect them.

LoL. No Morse, the truth will sink you.

That's exactly right!

It was later reported that Gibson had not broken any U.S. laws.

Well, yeah, but Gibson took advantage of the Republican loop hole.

We can also use a couple Lees and Jacksons.

I concur, ought-six.

They wasted tens of thousands of dollars, probably WAY more, because a guy took a trip in his airplane?

They've got all the money in the world to play with, and if they start to run short of sheeple handing over tax dollars, they can print as much more as they'd like to spend. Cost is no object to totalitarians.

Yes, we have far too many Perfumed Princes for generals, willing to set Rules of Engagement that favor the enemy and decimate our troops, but they wouldn’t be there in the first place if that wasn’t what the politicians wanted.

I believe you've nailed it, Cicero.

Times I've done the hiring, I've looked for people who are smarter and more mentally agile than I so I can hand off more work to them. I've noticed lots of people look for agreeability, subservience, and the like.

Altogether too many presidents have openly or secretly despised the U.S. military, which can only make a bad situation worse. I'm sure there are plenty of potential Eisenhowers and Pattons in the officer corps, but their chances of promotion are reduced by leftist extremist political angling and scheming.

Sen. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry, said since the bill passed in 2011, there have been no problems, no vigilante behavior and no inappropriate actions.

If there's no problem, isn't government supposed to get busy and imagine some problems for it to solve with new laws and taxes?

Dean was pulled over earlier this month after police say the light over his license plate was out.

That's probably a felony in New York, unless, of course, you've got the right connections and plenty of cash.

I figured somebody tripped over the main extension cord.

It's obvious you have no future as a leftist extremist, BobL. When faced with a choice between two evils, leftist extremists choose both.

When seconds count.......OWN a gun.

When seconds count....... OWN use a gun.

I used to love to visit New York. Today? You couldn’t pay me.

Garrett, a registered sex offender, had been arrested twice in 1985 for first-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse of a 69-year-old woman.

I think I've spotted the problem: he should have been locked up.

They are taking matters into their own hands and, because of their determination, they will be prepared if a criminal ever tries to claim their possessions or their lives. Very impressive and very smart.

I have a hunch lots of people don't understand when push comes to shove, they'll have to save their own lives; I have another hunch lots of people's last thoughts were bitter regrets they didn't prepare themselves to defend their lives.

That nitwit seems to have all manner of problems with photographs.

...the GOP leadership is making it clear they still have no enthusiasm for establishing such a committee.

If that's so-called "leadership," I'd sure hate to run into moral and intellectual cowardice. Are these "leaders" waiting for the Democratic [sic] party to lead the way?

The Fast & Furious conspiracy alone would constitute grounds for impeachment and removal from office.

...some in the shooting community are calling it too dangerous to be sold to the general public.

Only for the better people, eh?

That little outburst of his may also be illegal since he is still mayor and is voicing an ‘official’ threat. I think that’s a big no no.

Who would dare prosecute him in the cesspool of New York City?

He’s on the side of the criminals.

I want Constitutional “Open Carry” no other permission needed.

Amen, TexasTransplant! Texas and every other state ought to have constitutional open and/or concealed carry.

He said he is planning to start classes at College of DuPage.

He may need to put that off awhile.

When you go to the ER, all any scumdrel would have to do at check-in is to look up your SSN and attendant records and place you at the back of the line until he or she could process their preferred party members ahead of you.

Just wait. It’s coming. I guarantee it............

What's the problem? It worked pretty well in the Soviet Union, didn't it?

Now and then, assault lawyers are a necessity.

The irs needs to be abolished and the man who give them their directives needs to be impeached.

I second the motion.

What a wuss Issa is turning out to be! Did he find a horse’s head in his bed this morning?

I'd guess it's more likely his masters just reminded him he's become a rich man since joining the Congress Club.

I know this is the Enquirer, but it’s great to see the Teflon peeled.

Actually, the National Enquirer has pursued lots of stories the failed main stream "news" media have conspired to ignore.

Scratch a statist and you’ll always find a spoilt two-year-old child.

Eric "the Red" Holder knows too many dirty secrets for President You Didn't Build That to fire.

The question isn't what YDBT is going to do—the same thing wannabe tyrants always do—but whether Congress can come up with enough moral courage to discharge its responsibilities.

Sounds like another Democratic [sic] party success story. Soon, all of America will be just like Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the rest of the success stories.

Please tell me that shot is ‘shopped, the woman looks like a lamprey.

Millions of lampreys take offense.

Even Snopes Clinton never sank quite that low!

If President You Didn't Build That is the oft-cited "smartest guy in the room," I'd sure as heck hate to get stuck in a corner at a cocktail party with the dumbest.

Like Nixon, YDBT seems to be sabotaging himself.

The most successful advance payment con in history is Social Security, closely followed by Medicare.

In some cases people have been waiting months for their permits to come through, and there are many questions about whether the process is bogged down by unnecessary steps.

Another socialist success story.

Oh, gosh! I wonder what the IRS could be afraid of!

I’d suggest based on the resume his next career could be governor of Illinois.

Sorry, nascarnation, but first time offenders aren't really qualified in Illinois, especially when the offenses were minor. Chicago produces some of the most seriously qualified criminals in the country, so there's not much chance a mere novice could get the needed backing.

Well, heck! As long as the IRS isn’t picking on Muslims or blacks, what could the problem be? It’s what’s called “irrelevant” in aristocratic Washington, D.C. circles, isn’t it?

President Obama was right when he said we should reject those voices that warn that tyranny is just around the corner....

I think he was just rapping.

People who hate the Constitution tend to make fools of themselves when they try to make constitutional arguments. People who refuse to look at historical facts tend to make fools of themselves when they try to make historical arguments.

Schumer has hysterics, breaks down weeping, shrieks inconsolably for hours.

The modern term is “bull obama,” or “bullobama” if you’re in a mood for SingleWords™.

If al-Qaeda has been “decimated,” that means that it has only been reduced by 10 percent, and that the other 90 percent is intact.

Fine. Go ahead and use words consistently with their meanings, Fiji Hill. The vast majority of illiterates on the internet still think "decimate" means to slaughter all or nearly all the enemy, and you're never going to change their minds. How's it feel to be a scorned minority?

It's going to get worse, not better.

“Do you want to rewrite your application and resubmit it?” she asked Dobson’s lawyer. He answered, “no, we’ll just have to litigate”, and about eight days later they got their 501(c)(4).

Now and then, the mere threat of an assault lawyer gets the job done.

My Japanese built car is nearing 6 years and 100K miles and literally all it has had done/added/replaced: fuel, washer fluid, oil & filters, tires, radiator flushed, fuel filter, K&N air filter, one set of wiper blades. No brakes, brake fluid, belts, clutch hydraulic fluid, power steering fluid, original battery, not even light bulbs.

Yeah. To be fair, I've never owned a Japanese car with a cigarette lighter that lasted longer than about six months; even so, lighters and the battery in my current Subaru are all I've had to replace since buying my first Mitsubishi in 1988. The Hondas and Accura were the best of the bunch, but even the Subaru beats the socks off anything made in Detroit I've ever owned or rented.

F&F needs to be brought to the foreground.

I'm with you, Paladin2. We, the people need to look at all the horrors of the current so-called "administration," though I believe "regime" would be the more accurate term.

I think a lot of people enjoy killing babies because they’re too small to fight back.

Eh? What? No market for leftist extremist propaganda? Amazing!
