Free Republic

Many decisions are made at the president’s desk, but the major political party to which he or she belongs wields significant power over which domestic and international policies are advanced and what becomes law. Here is a summary of the parties’ positions on some of the vital issues facing the country. Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council, stated, “We are a two-party system…we may not like it, but that’s a reality. A third party candidate is not going to win. The reality is that one of the candidates representing the two major parties is going to be elected...

This piece was originally published on November 27, 2013 on the Freedom Outpost website Part 3 of 4 Is this going to be the Final Act to our morality play? I guess that depends on how seriously you have taken to heart the information included in Acts I and II, doesn't it? In Act I we learned that the tampering of elections has progressed from the outmoded inefficiency of buying a single vote through the offering of a Mason jar of bootleg whiskey or the dispensing of a little "walking around money," to the current practice of influencing entire elections....

This piece was originally posted on November 20, 2013 on the Freedom Outpost website. If this expose of voter fraud was presented as a stage play, it would be characterized as a Greek Tragedy; "a drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances." Such is where we find ourselves. The main character(s) would be all those who fought and died to provide for us a form of government whose very foundation is the right to free and unencumbered elections....

Okay, so now we are supposed to believe that Barack Obama, The Cowardly Lion is so worried about “The Russians” hacking the Democrats to pervert the outcome of the election that he is planning to plunge America into a nuclear war to stop them. Really? How very Dr. Strangelove of him! Whether The Cowardly Lion is bluffing or serious, once again he has shown us exactly why neither he, nor any other Democrat should ever be our Commander in Chief. If he is serious, then this “leak” is yet another “telegraphing” of our intentions; a politically inspired tip-off which would...

Oh anti-Catholicism. You’re always in vogue. And just what we needed to add to this wonderful election journey. Today, the anti-secrecy and disclosure site WikiLeaks released more than 1,000 emails as part of an ongoing leak of the hacked emails of John Podesta, chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Previously, Podesta worked as the President for the Center for American Progress, or CAP, and the Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton. Within these leaked emails was a 2011 email thread titled “Conservative Catholicism” sent by CAP Senior Fellow John Halpin to Podesta and to Hillary for America Communications Director Jennifer...

Published July 20, 2015 on the Freedom Outpost by “Coach is Right” staff writer Ed Wood Gee, how time flies when you're having fun. Election time again! But isn't it always? You who follow these columns may recall that, a couple of weeks ago, I fearlessly predicted that Hillary would win the 2016 presidential election. Do I think she is the best qualified candidate? Of course not. But her ace in the hole: voter fraud. Oh, I'm not talking about handing out fruit jars of moonshine, as was the custom here in Tennessee and in my native state of Virginia....

Like me, you probably did an eye-roll when you were a middle school kid and read of the charge in our Declaration of Independence that King George III intended to practically enslave his American colonists. Yeah, right. Those Founders sure knew how to exaggerate. At the 2012 democrat party convention, the party of chattel slavery ditched all reference to God from their platform. Getting back to their roots and letting lose their inner Marxists, they went on to inform the nation that not only is government the one thing we all have in common, everyone belongs to it! Notwithstanding the...

Ethicist David Gushee’s evolve-or-else warning to religious conservatives about their inevitable clash of orthodoxies with progressives is a sober reminder of the question over what variety of liberalism they will face in the days ahead. Will a reflexively intolerant progressivism prevail, or is it possible that goodwill, liberal pluralism can frame what happens in American public life as homosexuality and transgenderism become mainstreamed? Like The American Conservative’s Rod Dreher, who has been an online hero documenting the pace of cultural change around American sexual mores, I am pessimistic at the prospect that liberal pluralism will win the day.

Recently we learned that Hillary Clinton conducted a swap shop in her State Department office where everything including positions on sensitive committees, regardless of credentials, was for sale. We could almost imagine the phone conversations between Hillary and her customers, “You’re on a terrorist watch list but need some vital secret information? Just a moment, let me see what that’s going for today – you know, the price for such accommodations changes all the time.” Unfortunately this is nothing new for the Clintons. When Bill Clinton was in the White House he was not only a sexual deviant, but a...

Hillary Clinton is trying to smear Donald Trump with a faked charge that he is connected to the Klu Klux Klan. This is clearly a panicked response to how well Trump is doing with Black voters. It is exactly the kind of insulting trash Democrats think they can use to fool people, both Black and White. As usual the Democrat is lying. It is Hillary Clinton who accepted a $20,000 donation from the Klu Klux Klan, not Trump. Recently leaked DNC Emails reveal the Democrat hierarchy plotted to destroy the candidacy of Bernie Sanders by, among other things using his...

This past week, a series of emails from George Soros was leaked to the world, proving once and for all that Mr. Soros is the puppet master behind the Democrat Party. One set of emails from the State Department shows Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the beck-and-call of Soros, following his orders as if God Himself handed them down. Another email string shows Soros doing his best through his cronies to undermine the state of Israel and to support the Muslim terrorists they are fighting. On Wednesday’s episode of the O’Reilly Factor, eponymous host Bill O’Reilly argued that the...

When Democratic Convention delegate Gwen Snyder went to this year’s convention in Philadelphia she never expected to by sexually accosted by anyone, let alone a fellow delegate. When she was sexually molested by the male delegate Snyder expected to be treated with respect and have her complaint taken seriously by Democrat District Attorney Seth Williams’ office. That is exactly what did not happen. The determined Snyder called the Special Victims Unit in the belief that since she was the victim of a crime she had only to follow instructions to get justice. She was taken to the august sounding Philadelphia...

Liberal billionaire George Soros gave former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental group millions of dollars over three years to create a “political space for aggressive U.S. action” on global warming, according to leaked documents. A document published by DC Leaks shows Soros, a Hungarian-born liberal financier, wanted his nonprofit Open Society Institute (OSI) to do more to support global warming policies in the U.S. That included budgeting $10 million in annual support to Gore’s climate group over three years. “U.S. Programs Global Warming Grants U.S. Programs became engaged on the global warming issue about four years ago, at George Soros’s...

It is not a good thing to have a president who is a pathological liar. Unfortunately we may get Hillary Clinton as our president, a woman who hits all the clinical milestones to be diagnosed as a pathological liar. Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar and even a layman’s interpretation of the science of psychiatry proves it. Hillary lives in a fantasy world where whatever she says will be supported as the truth by a fawning media. She never has to concern herself with whether what she is saying is true – she would not know the truth anyway. In...

Why was there not a single mention of ISIS during the first 2 nights of the Democrat Convention that will name Tim Kaine, a Senator from Virginia, as their Vice Presidential candidate? Consider who Kaine is and you will understand this glaring omission. Just weeks after the September 11, 2001 sneak attack by Muslim terrorists that killed 3000 Americans, Kaine stood on a stage with Jamal Barzinji, a man named by Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch as a “founding father of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.” Between 2003 and 2005 Barzinji’s organization directly donated $43,050 to Kaines campaign for governor of Virginia....

Leaked DNC Emails reveal the Democrat hierarchy plotted to destroy the candidacy of Bernie Sanders by, among other things, using his “Jewishness” against him. This plot brings to mind some of the many slurs and belittlements used by Democrats over recent history against Jews, Blacks and Asians. Here are some of these slurs excerpted from the just released book, “The Dirty Locked Away History of The Democrat Party,” available as an Ebook on Amazon.com. The Ku Klux Klan, the first domestic terror organization in American history, was the anti-Black, anti-American arm of the 19th and 20th century Democrat Party. It...

Monday marked the beginning of the Democratic National Convention, where Hillary Clinton and her fellow Democrats will try to convince the country that they are the party of the future. To combat their lies, here is a list of seven things they donÂ’t want you to realize about their history from my latest book, HillaryÂ’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.1. The Founder of the Democratic Party was a Racist Land StealerAndrew Jackson didnÂ’t really go around the law; he made the law. He was a law unto himself. ThatÂ’s because he had the troops and the guns...

Mamaw encouraged me to get a job—she told me that it would be good for me and that I needed to learn the value of a dollar. When her encouragement fell on deaf ears, she then demanded that I get a job, and so I did, as a cashier at Dillman’s, a local grocery store. Working as a cashier turned me into an amateur sociologist. A frenetic stress animated so many of our customers. One of our neighbors would walk in and yell at me for the smallest of transgressions—not smiling at her, or bagging the groceries too heavy one...

A comparison between the speakers at the Republican Convention and the Democrat Convention shows the difference between the two Parties. Thanks to the pressure put on both the RNC and the DNC by Donald Trump, this year’s conventions will finally hold both Parties up to the light and show America what their choices are in this Presidential Election. Absent Trump, the Republicans would have put on another “me too” show designed to show that they are actually just another wing of the prevailing Uniparty. That’s finished now. Consider this “Powerhouse” Democrat line up: First Lady Michelle Obama who thinks she...

The following piece appeared on the Freedom Outpost in April of 2015. Clearly the efforts by liberal Democrats and cowardly Republicans to destroy our nation have not changed during the intervening months, unless it had been to quicken in their pace and expand in their contempt for the wishes of the American people. Everything considered, this is a reasonable question. In spite of our President's apologies and our First Lady's lack of pride in the United States of America, multiple records have shown that we have been, and still are, the most generous people ever to have populated this earth....
