Free Republic

The Tea Party should hold their own convention one month prior to the GOP. At first glance this seems symbolic only. But upon further reflection, some united statement coming out of a "Tea Party Convention" about who conservatives should vote for could have a chance to affect the eventual nominee. If we could at least get all conservatives voting for he same guy, it might reduce the dilution of votes that always get the establishment and media "their guy". Thanks to Tenacious 1 for the above: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3115298/posts?page=10#10 _____________________________________________________It can be done and I believe more easily than most would at...

Many of us here have posted on this before, but like Cato warning against the persisting menace of ancient Carthage to Rome, it's important to keep this current threat constantly in mind, and act to protect our party and our movement. This is the threat of the worst of the traitorous RINOs especially in the Senate-- the ones who come from solidly Red States with no excuse for betraying the conservative movement, but who did so anyway and on the issue of mass immigration and amnesty, the most important of all. While there are many litmus tests to identify a...

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” – Ronald Reagan, 1961 As we, the American people, see our rights diminishing and our Constitution violated daily, we have become alarmed. We will fight to preserve our freedoms, as Ronald Reagan warned us to...

One of the most misused words in the English language is “free,” as in “it’s free.” Whether it’s the free samples of stuff at Costco, or the free pens and refrigerator magnets they give away at your local bank or car dealership, or the free hip replacement your mother-in-law just received, we use the term freely, so to speak, without ever considering it’s true meaning. When we say “it’s free,” what we really mean is that someone else is paying for it—voluntarily or involuntarily. And this is a very important distinction. Because one is morally defensible, while the other is...

Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials excercise authority over them. Mat. 20:25 Conservatives continue to lose battle after battle at the ballot box because they are using a broken formula. They are under the impression if they will get their conservative base to vote for them while chasing the Democrats they will turn up enough votes in the box to win. You will never convince a Dem to vote for a Repub just as you are never going to get an Auburn fan to...

Does being unwritten make the British Constitution a living and breathing document?Most conservatives resist the notion that the Constitution is a living and breathing document. But perhaps the notion is worth a second look if you just ask the following question: Which constitution? Once you decide to start comparing constitutions you might be surprised at your findings. There are living Constitutions out there, they just don't apply to the United States of America. This article is built around three goals. First, to highlight a small piece of the history of Progressivism and how it relates to what’s written. Second, to...

A friend was notified that the health plan she’d been with for over twenty years, Capital Health Plan, was cancelled due to not meeting the Obamacare requirements. So she bought a Blue Cross Blue Shield policy off the exchange and paid for the first month using auto-deduction from her checking account. When she was notified she could keep her old plan for another year she decided that’s what she wanted. She renewed her Capital Health Plan then called Blue Cross and asked them to cancel her new Obamacare policy. They told her they could stop her coverage but could not...

The king said to him, "How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?" 1 Kings 22:16 While our Glorious Premier Kim Su Obama is in Hawaii admiring his namesake Obamacare and its wonderful damage done to the economy the Mainstream Marxist Media feigns outrage over some traffic cones on a bridge. While we have a hundred million out of work the employed media is hard at work taking out another potential opposition candidate over a couple hours of sitting in traffic. The transparency of these propagandists is...

To hell with a million man march. We need a TEN MILLION man march!! Fill the mall and every street in DC!! Time to raise the pucker factor in DC until no one in congress can even raise up from his chair. When the people fear their government there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, we have Liberty!! Tea Party leaders, right-wing groups, 2nd amendment groups, pro-life religious leaders, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Levin: Gentlemen start your engines!! It's time to unite and turnout freedom loving Americans of every political stripe to run the statist bums out and restore...

"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." Thomas Paine, from the essay “The Crisis”, December 23, 1776 “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln Oh how prescient these men were. And so again we’ve reached that point as history repeats itself. Once again a Republic finds itself rotted...

Karin Stanford, the Mother of Jesse Jackson‘s 12-year-old love child, is going public with her allegations that the good reverend has fallen behind on his child support payments to the tune of $11,694.50, according to the National Enquirer. Court documents filed with the L.A. Superior Court state that the minimum monthly financial obligation was set at $400, but Jackson, 70, failed to fork over even a dollar to Stanford between December 2010 and August 2011. Stanford first met Jackson, when she was completing her doctoral dissertation on his foreign policy record. Jackson, who was married with five children, and Stanford...

Adultery, greed, malice, deceit, ledness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unlean.” After two weeks of feigned outrage in the Marxists’ attempt at destroying Phil Roberston we are hearing nothing but praise about the Wolf of Wall Street. This movie will receive multiple Oscar Nominations for being so new. Now one is a degenerate throwing F-Bombs every third word while having sex with every woman he comes in contact with while the other one says he doesn’t like the thought of anal sex and loves his wife of fifty years. Guess...

Normally at this time of year, the culture-war fight is over a guy with a white beard. That’s true again this year. What’s different is that Phil Robertson took Santa’s place, and instead of a war on Christmas, we have a war on Duck Dynasty.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor 6: 9-10 While Phil Robertson sits in a duck blind worrying if he brought enough shells and happy, happy, happy the Marxists are once again showing they are angry, angry, angry. The homosexual Gestapo which is simply another arm of the thought nazis overplayed their hand and is attempting...

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then; and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1 When is the DNC going to apologize to the American people for destroying the finest insurance industry the world has ever seen? There are people actually suffering and worrying they may not have coverage in two weeks as opposed to the Marxist lies we heard about the so called crisis he invented to trick the people into going along with Obamacare. They passed a law and like all Soviet style tyrants they...

Democrats just love democracy. Who could possibly oppose it? Didn’t progressive icon Woodrow Wilson tell the nation that its purpose was to make the world safe for democracy? What reasonable person could be against all power to the people? I am, and I am in good company. Our Framing generation had a short, yet sufficient experience with overly democratic state governments to figure out that majoritarian abuse of minorities was just as harmful and dangerous to freedom as the executive tyranny of George III. Benjamin Rush famously said that while the constitutions of 1776-1777 barred the front door to executive...

Here is a response from Florida State Senator Alan Hays regarding last Saturday's Mount Vernon Assembly. "We discussed the process of bringing the Article V convention into reality and agreed to meet next year at a time yet to be determined due to the need to meet when state legislatures are adjourned or in recess. That will assure more participation. We also discussed a possible resolution to go to each state requesting their legislatures establish a selection process for delegates to be attending an Article V. Convention." "We recognized the need for wide communication to the public of our work....

So I'm going through my RSS feeds this morning for good articles to post and come upon this headline: Montreal deploying fleet of facial recognition drones for 24/7 patrolsSounds believable...one of my little hot-button topics (government surveillance)...so I check it out: The City of Montreal has purchased 24 drones to help law enforcement tackle crime as authorities look to cut back the police force over the next 15 years. The UAVs, equipped with facial recognition technology, will be armed to ‘neutralize suspects’. "It's very exciting," the chief of police for the borough where the drones will be deployed, Montreal North,...

It is time for the public to assess the condition of our republic as founded by our forefathers and framed within the US Constitution. Our fellow citizens have watched President Obama rule by decree through executive powers as he side stepped Congress. President Obama’s lawlessness shines as he ignores statutory federal laws at whim. Obama declared Obamacare the law of the land, but he unconstitutionally makes changes to the law to benefit his political agenda. The latest outrage is the highly political suspension of the 2015 enrollment window by one month, just past the 2014 elections. The US Constitution under...

So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world. Gal 4:3 As bad as Obamacare is, it is not the worst Marxist law we are living under. Marxism is simply a lie built upon another lie which results are blamed on the opposition. The only reason Americans are outraged by Obamacare is they can see and feel the direct pain it is causing them. Obamacare has been rolled out so publically there is no way to blame it on the Repubs, so the entire blame is sticking to the President and his...
