Free Republic

Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? What if everything we know about science is wrong? What if science has been completely corrupted by agenda driven politics and what we have left is more political than scientific? What if science is simply a tool to manipulate? Science for the past hundred years has been more wrong than right. What we have seen is the foundation of science is corrupt and built on a lie so science has repeated this model...

A Review of Presidential Debate Questions in the Modern Era The Nixon-Kennedy Debates Can you tell if there is any hostility, bias, or gotchas in the questions over time? I will use a 1-5 point system to "rate" the question, and then normalize and "score" the fairness of the overall debate. A perfectly neutral debate should score 50/50. Scoring System 1=Biased against the candidate. Intended to create conflict with others, or make the candidate defensive or unappealing. 2=Mostly fair, but makes unnecessary snipes at the candidate. 3=A generally fair question. 4=Mostly fair, but gives the candidate an intentional opportunity to...

If you're an American conservative Fox News is NOT your friend. All of the following is sourced and linked. Muslim Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal is the second largest voting shareholder in 21st Century Fox. Alwaleed told an audience in Dubai that it took just one phone call to Rupert Murdoch - to get the Fox News crawl reporting "Muslim riots" in France changed to "civil riots."" Fox had a Muslim activist and Bernie Sanders supporter who has compared Trump to Hitler set up to sandbag him at the debate. Fox had an illegal immigrant set up to sandbag Trump....

Gary Bauer, one of America's leading pro-life and pro-family activists, endorsed Ted Cruz on Friday. In doing so, Bauer became one of many evangelical Christian leaders who have thrown their support behind the senator from Texas. Bauer explained: "Ted Cruz is a courageous conservative who has built a consistent record on the issues that matter most. He has fought for religious liberty at home and abroad. He believes all of our children should be welcomed into the world and protected by the law. Ted knows that government is too big and that taxes and regulations are too high. He will...

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they becamefools, What if everything we know in science is wrong and we have been exploring bad science for the last hundred years. What if the entire science world is built on a false premise which has corrupted everything built from its foundation and steered us into complete fallacies. What if science is the source of many if not most of our problems from the environment to education to the economy? What if we have driven ourselves into a dead end street and God actually is real? Back in the late eighteen hundreds...

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Richard Nixon became the thirty-seventh President of the United States on January 20, 1969 and was reelected in 1972 for a second term by the electors of forty-nine of the fifty states. His term in office continued until his resignation on August 9, 1974. Pursuant to resolutions of the House of Representatives, its Committee on the Judiciary conducted an inquiry and investigation on the impeachment of the President extending over more than eight months. The hearings of the Committee and its deliberations, which received wide national publicity over television,...

Trump has the formula to win. He is combining a country-wide populism with a national conservative mood instigated by seven years of abuse from the Obama administration and acquiescence by the uniparty. People are fed up. For years now, 70% of Americans have felt the country is going in the wrong direction. I have written many rants. You each have your own rants about what's wrong with the country and everyone has just had it up to here; we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. People say Trump sold out in Iowa on the ethanol...

<p>I pray FR survives this election. Our forum has never been so divided. But even more so, I pray our divided nation survives. If traitor Hillary or communist Sanders is elected, it will be difficult to continue as a free nation without invoking certain clauses in the Declaration. Our constitution is certainly being put to the test.</p>

127 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Since I called this race six months ago predicting it would be Trump and Cruz when everyone else was for Bush/Perry/Walker it is time to break down the two candidates before the actual voting occurs. I do not carry the baggage of working for an outlet or live in the Corridor or am even a Repub; it gives an objectivity and freedom none of the Echo Chamber has. If either one of them were...

"You mentioned making the service better for our customers; but the American citizens aren't our customers--about 400 junk mailers are our customers.", said US Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe to Outbox founder Evan Baehr. The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) top Midwest official knew about the Flint, Michigan drinking water crisis of 2015 months before telling the public, according to a Tuesday report by the The Detroit News. You can't judge the motives of individuals. But these government agencies and pandemic-mega-corporations aren't individuals. Therefore, it's fair to observe, that their behavior reveals their group motives, that "by their fruits you shall know...

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21 KJV The Oregon Standoff reads like an old western movie where the evil Land Baron buys all of the surrounding land for pennies around one rancher then tries to squeeze him out of his land. The only thing this one does not...

For a five year period of time, the term “Natural Born Citizen” had a definition which differed from the “two-citizen parents, born under United States jurisdiction” description generally accepted for most of this nation’s existence. The Nationality Act of 1790 referred to those born to citizens beyond Sea or out of the limits of the United States as being “natural born citizens”. Because of the term “citizens” as it pertains to parentage, there is an argument to be made that this requires two citizen parents for this to be allowed. Below is a quote from the 1790 Act. Since this...

Ok, now I'm confused. I do not think the ATF would have Obama's Executive Order implemented BEFORE the EO is even issued, right? Well, here's the ATF Brochure on when you need an FFL, and the text largely mimics his E0 -- at least the preview, anyways. DO I NEED A LICENSE TO BUY AND SELL FIREARMS? Guidance to help you understand when a Federal Firearms License is required under federal lawHere is this brochure's copy. I'm not certain if the brochure is new, but I suspect it has been there for a while:Here is OTrauma's EO copy: A person...

In the last day or so, a very dangerous situation has emerged in Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, near the town of Burns, Oregon. Ammon Bundy and about a dozen men, armed with firearms, have occupied a closed Federal building on that property. The local Sheriff has backed down, and there are rumors of Special Response Teams staging nearby. This building is a smallish, very isolated building in the middle of a large National Refuge. Someone posted on a thread under a Guardian news article about this, "I'm in Oregon. These guys took over a headquarters building but it's kinda like...

Sundance at The Conservative Tree House has written posts commenting on Ted Cruz's proselytizing as an electoral campaign strategy. Freepers have seen at least a couple of examples of this strategy recently, with threads being posted about Cruz calling on supporters to "don the full armor of God" to resist "incoming attacks" (presumably from dark forces!), or that the "Body of Christ" must be energized to gain the victory. This type of rhetoric is also heavily prominent in his campaign fund raising. One of the more epic and cringe inducing examples comes from an apparent leak by the Cruz campaign...

Exodus 1:10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country.” At the end of WWII when it was obvious to the Germans they would lose and did not have enough men to fight the allies they began a terrorist campaign. This campaign was an organized group of German terrorists called the Werwolf operation. This was an organized guerilla group of SS soldiers who committed terrorist acts behind allied lines obstructing freight and terrorizing the soldiers. They were a...

In the wake of 9/11, the Bush administration struggled to define the enemy and to decide how to defeat it. Even though 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis and the Saudis were involved in the planning and financing of the attack, President Bush allowed the Saudis to fly out of the country in the next 24 hours when all other air traffic had been shut down. No doubt that Bush had decided to maintain good relations with the Arabs, and Saudi Arabia particularly, just as the US had done for half a century. This policy led Bush to say...
