Free Republic

If you brought back either of the Roosevelts—Teddy or Franklin—from the grave, the most astonishing thing they would find is that the “malefactors of great wealth” have become the benefactors of today’s liberalism, and Democrats have become the party of the rich. In the economic crisis of the 1930s, the rich hated FDR. Most of today’s rich love Barack Obama—so much so that Washington D.C. area airports ran out of space to handle all of the private jets flying in the well-heeled for both of his inaugurals. Forget the “limousine liberals” of the 1960s and 1970s, sending their own kids...

The Ryan-Murray budget deal is a fake and a fraud that the Stupid Party thinks is on the level and the Democrats have constructed as a trap for them. It has only just been announced and it has already caused another split in the Republican Party which is just what the Democrats wanted to happen. This “split”was designed to happen. It was a very simple trap that is forcing the Republicans into another intramural war. The Democrats have once again played rope-a-dope with the hapless GOPe; and once again John Boehner, the Charlie Brown of politics, has fallen right into...

Is the ineptitude of ObamaCare authors and directors really a function of good old-fashioned government incompetence? Or is a widely ignorant American public being taken in by precisely what members of the radical left WANT to be brought about by the Affordable Care Act? Could the daily disasters–the suspended employer mandate, “honor system” reporting of income, previously unannounced taxes, doctors refusing to treat ObamaCare policy holders, the ludicrous Healthcare.gov website, the baldfaced lies about keeping your insurance and your doctors–could these extraordinary failures actually mean that the rollout of the ACA is proceeding exactly according to plan? “Obamacare is the...

In its heyday Cunard cruise lines used the tagline, “Getting there is half the fun.” It worked well because the “there” its ships were getting passengers to was a happy vacation in an attractive part of the world. Now that Obamacare’s website repairs have “fixed” 90% of its problems according to Barack Obama, we are to believe that getting to Obama’s promised land, “..is half the fun.” But believing this means believing there is actually a desirable “there” at the end of one’s Obamacare journey. Clearly a growing majority of Americans don’t believe this. Like all liberal programs, Obamacare relies...

The New York and Los Angeles Times are reporting that there is a “surge” of enrollments in Obamacare. That this is a demonstrable lie, as usual means, nothing to the Left. But in their twisted little minds nothing they say is ever a lie because they are such good people and good people are – well good people who only want to help us. They really believe this. To these people the “negativity” (generated by Republicans) surrounding Obamacare is the reason it is a train wreck. Realty is such a mess “conservative” thing to these people. Undeterred, they will keep...

Despite an Oct 22nd, glee filled report from a stereotypical ABC News nerd – dark rimmed glasses, plaid shirt, orange tie and hair combed like one of the gang at TMZ – insisting the Democrats’ government shutdown would hurt Republicans next year, no one really believes that. Americans didn’t believe the shamelessly left weighted polls last month and they don’t believe them today, if they even remember them. It’s a sure thing however that the Left wishes they could roll out some more fake polls to help Barack Obama out of his sink hole, but that’s not happening. Because the...

Hawaii is a place so completely run by Democrats that they can sometimes forget “the cameras are on.” Because death or actual incarnation are the only ways a Democrat in Hawaii can lose his/her seat, they can afford to be their true phony selves without fear of Election Day problems. All their talk about protecting the weak and downtrodden in society – the kind only aimed at Republicans on the mainland – is dispensed with when they are truly alone as they are in the Aloha State. A recent report reminds us of this. Secure in the electoral safety of...

In a recent wishful thinking propaganda piece the New York Times hit some themes that we’ve seen before, but broke some new ground with quotes from a Republican pollster and a “friendly” Democrat pollster. After pounding away with the usual tired lies about how racist Whites are, it quoted a useful idiot Republican pollster named Fred Steeper saying, “The Republican Party needs to throw in the towel on the immigration issue.” How much wrong can you pack into one stupid head? In spite of solid statistical evidence that had Mitt Romney won even 70% of the Hispanic vote he would...

Jeff Wagner, Democrat Party candidate for Mayor of Minneapolis has appeared in a campaign ad which perfectly illustrates the low, low class of the American left. Given the contempt Wagner displays for the voting public how can anyone believe his viewpoint toward constituents will change upon winning the election? The only good thing about this pathetic attempt to...

The latest lie from Nancy Pelosi is her claim that the Republican’s 63 seat pick up victory in 2010 was caused by voter anger over the TARP vote in 2009. A newly released analysis of the exit polls from 2010 shows a completely different story. Claiming the high road, the lying Pelosi alleged that the 2009 TARP vote was some kind of “vote what’s good for America not what’s good for you” sacrificial undertaking by Democrats who knew what would happen but voted for TARP anyway This sounds nice but like so much of the rest of liberalism it’s a...

Rep. Robert E. Andrews (D-N.J.), who played a key role in passing the health-care law and has worked on its implementation, said he told White House officials early this summer he had been hearing from insurers that the online system had flaws. “Nothing I told them ever surprised them,” Andrews said in an interview. “The White House has acknowledged all along something this massive was going to have implementation problems.” Two allies of the administration, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the controversy surrounding the rollout, said they approached White House officials this year to...

Allen West, beloved Tea Party candidate, is telling D.C. bloggers he’ll take a run at Marco “Speaks With Forked Tongue” Rubio’s Senate seat in 2016. “If I see people are not taking our country down the right path, God will set my feet on the right path,” said the Colonel. (1) Rubio’s fatal mistake was to coax the Tea Party into backing him–and back him they did, right into the Senate’s front door–and then promptly putting in with old guard, Senate liberals who were playing him for a fool. This mistake just may doom his re-election bid. It’s something you...

Cockroaches and Colonoscopies are rated higher than Congress in the minds of average citizens according to a recent poll. (1) The 113th Congress is regarded little better than the 112th because “82% of Americans already disapprove.” (2) What’s worse, evidence is surfacing that our elected leaders actually spend about a three hour block of time on our needs, visits or concerns. “Only 3-4 hours a day for the actual work of being a member of Congress” is an insult to Americans! This data is from a power point presentation given to freshman Democrats...

It’s hard to argue with Rush Limbaugh’s observation that “The Left will always tell us what they fear.” Remember the way they attacked Sarah Palin and let John McCain talk himself out of winning in 2008? The Left’s never ending investigations of Darrell Issa come to mind as well. Now we’re seeing the Left going full bore against Voter ID laws. What other reason for the immediate lawsuits against these laws could there be? The Left understands that honest elections kill them. There are some elections Democrats just can’t win without cheating. They buy votes with “free” stuff; they bribe...

Liberals love their fantasies about slavery in America. It makes them feel superior to insist America was founded by “Old White Men” (OWM) who loved slavery. They refuse to acknowledge that those same OWMs often freed their own slaves although not until their death. They love their own fairy tale that, “freeing slaves had nothing to do with the Civil War.” Allowing that would force them to credit Lincoln and the (hated) Republicans with freeing the slaves – a gross violation of the false liberal narrative of American history. They are so desperate to keep the truth of who were...

Watch as Louisiana State Senator Elbert Lee Guillory, who recently switched to Republican, joins Rev. James Manning and announces his opposition to Democrat policies as destructive of the Black family. Sen. Guillory has become the head of FREE AND LAST PAC.

Doctor: Filner may possess sociopathic characteristics SAN DIEGO – Without knowing the mayor of San Diego personally, a local psychologist can only give her opinion, but believes Bob Filner is showing sociopathic characteristics. As Filner is expected to enter a behavioral facility for two weeks of treatment many San Diegans continue to call for his resignation. Still, the mayor refuses to resign. “Shame would’ve driven him to resign immediately,” said La Jolla psychologist Dr. Sage Breslin.“I certainly think his bravado indicates he doesn’t have empathy or compassion.” She focused on Filner’s apology and called it insincere. “He was smiling when...

(Bob Filner says ... "Thanks") San Diego Sheriff Sets Up 'Filthy Filner' Sexual Harassment Hotline The San Diego County Sheriff has set up a hotline to deal with sexual harassment claims against the city's Mayor, democrat Bob "Filthy" Filner. The Sheriff's office announced on Friday that they will "be the lead investigative agency for any complaints against Filner and any information gleaned via the hotline would be turned over to the California Attorney General's office for possible prosecution." Filner responded: "I very much welcome the fact that some of these allegations will finally be addressed by an appropriate investigative...

Liberals you should be ashamed of yourselves for the misery and destruction you have forced on Detroit. Because of liberal policies Detroit, an American city that once was the very epitome of the benefits of capitalism, was once able to boast of the highest standard of living of any city in the world is now little more than a garbage heap people want to run from. Today Detroit has roughly 700,000 people. In 1960 Detroit had 1.6 million people. They were auto workers and auto manufacturing executives. They manufactured things and traded an honest day’s work for a decent middle...

10News has learned [San Diego] Mayor Bob Filner [Democrat] has agreed to be the keynote speaker at a benefit for sexual assault victims. A women veterans group tells 10News the mayor’s camp has just confirmed the appearance. Filner was originally scheduled to attend as an award recipient. The group has stripped him of the award. Instead, he is set to address the scandal now consuming City Hall. Said scandal being in two parts: •That Bob Filner still has not resigned after having multiple, credible accusations of sexual harassment made against him by numerous members of his own party*; •And that...
