Free Republic

Today is election day for voters in Pennsylvania's 28th State Senate District. They're voting in a special election that was called suddenly two months ago when sitting Republican State Senator Mike Waugh resigned his 80-thousand dollar plus job to take a 100-thousand dollar plus job as director of Pennsylvania's Farm Show. Waugh was up for re-election this year and was not planning on running for a fifth term. His resignation led to the calling of a special election two months ahead of the scheduled May primary. It was common knowledge in political circles that local businessman Scott Wagner whose money...

"Good morning, kindly Democrats. We all know that Americans are scum------TOTAL COWARDS ON THE SUBJECT OF RACE....clinging to their Bibles and guns. Nevertheless, we tolerant and compassionate Democrats, kindly conferred free universal healthcare on Americans. Yes, kindly Democrats, for the first time, out of the goodness of our Democrat hearts, we bestowed healthcare on those cowardly misogynist, racist, homophobic tea-drinking Americans. Our benevolent leader decreed...er, I mean.... Obama said..... we kindly Democrats take care of the citizenry, like a benevolent father cares for his child. And remember, all Americans get benefits, not just those evil one percenters---greedsters with money. As...

The last time I was deployed out here I posted a treatise on the subject. Please allow me to go deeper in to the topic. Let me state this I am out here in Afghanistan defend the rights of Mr. and Mrs. America to do whatever they want and indulge themselves as they please. I took my obligation freely and without mental reservation. When was the last time you obligated yourself to something other than your hedonistic pursuits. I must also state for the record that I am a black American. I didn’t say African American on purpose because unlike...

As Russian troops roll into Ukraine, President Obama’s feckless and absentee leadership on the global stage is an American embarrassment and as President, his actions increasingly endanger the safety and security of all Americans. Obama is changing the course of American history as he abandons our international friends, yields and compromises with our adversaries, abrogates our foreign responsibilities, slashes our military, unilaterally retreats while engaged in war, and surrenders to Russia the premier dominance of global influence. Like Neville Chamberlin, the pre-WWII English Prime Minister, Obama’s appeasement efforts typifies Chamberlin’s as world tensions escalate and simmer. Obama’s misguided foreign affairs...

O love the Lord all ye hes saints: preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Psalms 31:23 We are soon going to see the second big hit on the economy in the next two years as we will have another manmade spike in our energy costs. These will be directly caused by ignorance and hatred towards the American way of life. The Marxists know the best way to short circuit an economy is to take out the foundation which is low cost energy. The Obama regime and the Three Pillars have found a way to destroy the low...

2014 Ukrainian Popular Revolt "Vladimir, they aren't coming back" BACKGROUND: The Urkaine was a part of the Soviet UNion, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), under communist rule and domination for decades. The Ukraine is recognized for its significant agricultural production capabilities, and also for its strong manufacturing capabilities, particularly in the industrial equipment, aircraft, and ship building sectors. The Crimea, in southeast Ukraine, and home to many ehtnic Russian people, had long been a vacation place for many of the elite within the old Soviet Union. To this day, the Rusian federation maintains a strong Naval BAse...

Well, the elitist establishment (dare I say RINO) editors over at National Review and National Review Online (NRO) have sunk to another new low in their continued attacks on conservatives. It's been bad enough that the NRO stable of writers have been cranking out multiple hit pieces (including 3 in a row from the normally lucid Dr. Thomas Sowell) attacking Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the House/Senate Tea Party caucus, but NRO is now moving towards silencing conservative criticism of NRO's writers, columns and seminar RINO and libertarian posters. Don't get me wrong, I like posting and/or commenting on NRO...

The GOPe RINOS and their enablers are starting to believe that grassroots tea party conservatives are their enemy. And they might even be right for a change. So how are they going to combat that? Why, by moving even farther to the left, of course. Would never occur to these yahoos to even try to stand on principle and lock-in the grassroots conservative vote. Our representatives are permanently out to lunch. What do you think? Should we moderate our stance or soften our positions on abortion? Homo marriage? Gun control? Amnesty? Border security? National security? Commie health care? Big government?...

Ahhhhh—---The Third World's fluid corrupt minds are a wonderment. Read on. THE MIAMI HERALD REPORTS—--alleged kiddie-prostitute, Nexis de los Santos Santana, and her Dominican lawyer, Miguel Galván, entered sworn statements in a Dominican Republic court, claiming they were duped as part of an elaborate plan hatched by another Dominican lawyer under the guise of a divorce case involving Menendez donor Dr Salomon Melgen. “I never went to bed with [Menendez or Melgen]. I don’t know them,” de los Santos, 23, said in the testimony. (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down) CONCLUSION Prostie claims she was gonna get paid to...

In North Korea, an untouchable dictator and tiny cadre of supporters rule every aspect of the lives of tens of millions. In the United States, an untouchable president, and a tiny cadre of cabinet secretaries and federal judges write illegitimate laws that increasingly rule more and more aspects of the lives of hundreds of millions. What happened? Our framing generation knew that undivided power inevitably lead to undivided tyranny. Set aside all the theories of government, and one thing pops out as an historical certainty. The fewer the number of men ruling from one locality, the more oppressive that government...

Regarding the polluted, undrinkable water now reported at Russian residences where Winter Olympic athletes are staying, I’m reminded of the opening lines in the Preface of Solzhenitsyn’s “Gulag Archipelago.” Those lines are … “In 1949 some friends and I came upon a newsworthy news item in Nature, a magazine of the Academy of Sciences. It reported in tiny type that in the course of excavations on the Kolyma River a subterranean ice lens had been discovered which was actually a frozen stream – and in it were found frozen specimens of prehistoric fauna some tens of thousands of years old....

FR is pro-God, pro-Life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-limited government and will remain that way. Regardless of any consequences!! You're either with us on this or against us. Moderation is not the solution, it is the problem!! We do not surrender, we do not retreat, we do not negotiate or compromise on our unalienable rights to Life and Liberty or our sovereignty!! Karl Rove and the GOP-e moderates and all like them can KMA!! You cannot moderate evil, you fight it!!

Against the rising gale sweeping towards a Republican surge in the upcoming 2014 Congressional elections, House Speaker Boehner boldly disregards the wide sentiment of the American people against the promulgation of an amnesty bill this year. Speaker Boehner proudly put forth a set of immigration principles, a fig leaf presentation to pave the road to amnesty for illegal immigrants. In Republican country, the reception of Boehner’s amnesty embrace and his “go-it-alone” strategy during a pivotal election season rankles deep within the Republican Party and specifically questions his ability to continue as the Speaker of the House. His unconscionable decision is...

Conservatives believe, as did our founding generation, a fundamental truth, a maxim that early on differentiated the US from other republics. The first principle of American political society is that government exists to secure our unalienable rights. Our Declaration eloquently expressed it as, “That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, . . . “ That straightforward concept begat the question, “How to best secure those rights?” The answer was to be found in some form of republican government. By that, the founding generation meant the peoples’ representatives consent to all laws. That determination was all well and...

[Review of "Credentialed to Destroy: How and Why Education Became a Weapon"]Ideally, everyone would read this book, especially those hoping to stop the continued degradation of the public school system. I think it's fair to call Robin Eubanks the nation's foremost education intellectual. She explains the decline of the public schools thoroughly and at deeper levels than you will typically find. She is an attorney and her book can be regarded as a lawsuit brought by The People against a reckless and destructive Education Establishment. In short, she takes on the extremists plotting to make the country dumb and dumber....

In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 2 Chronicles 15:5 The Central Planners of Portland always seem to think they know more than anyone else and that goes double for anything having to do with transportation. Here in Tigard Oregon they have decided the way to solve 21st century transportation issues are with 19th century trains. Hopefully nobody tells them about High Speed Stagecoach or we are going to have dirt roads full of manure. These planners ignore all the obvious negatives with trains and tracks...

I’M AN AMERICAN, A REAGAN REPUBLICAN.. Yep.. TO MY BONES! This is what it means to me! I believe our Government has become the problem, not the Solution to anything except those vitally important issues clearly outlined in our Founding Documents, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and OUR BILL OF RIGHTS.. Those originating documents have withstood the test of time, with the self-correcting tools within to adapt to the changing times, social norms, global influences, and technology, while maintaining the simple truths so clearly outlined in its Preamble; “We the People of the United States, in Order...

Chinese Navy (PLAN) 2014 Growth and Modernization Update (The Rising Sea Dragon in Asia 2014 Update) 2013 was another very busy and very significant year for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), or simply the Navy of the People's Republic of China. Again it cannot emphasized enough how important the building program, the training activities, and the deployments that have all gone on in this last year are to the to the future of the PLAN and its ability to project power, defend and assert its influence, and, as a blue water fleet, to carry that influence across the seven...

Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew 19:21 It looks like the Marxists want to talk about anything but their failures. We have the worst economy in 75 years and they want to talk about a bridge and women’s libido like a magician using smoke and mirrors. Oh, they have their feigned outrage routine down of how insulting any talk of their victim groups is hate speech, but have no problem that 25% of this country is out...
