Free Republic

Free Republic stands for God, family, country. We generally look to Judeo-Christian* guidance on issues of law, morality, justice, freedom, life, family and civil society. And we have a Christian self-governing, self-reliant, individual accountability & responsibility, you gotta work if able-bodied and want to eat attitude on cultural and societal issues. And a Christian pro-Constitution, original intent, pro-liberty, pro-life, pro-family, pro-gun, restricted government, small government, states rights, individual rights, free enterprise position on political and civil matters. *Note: I say Judeo-Christian because Jesus was a Jew and referred to the Ten Commandments, Jewish law, beliefs and customs and the scripture...

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 KJV If you need to lose a battle, RyanCare is the one to lose. This was another Marxist version of insurance which was going to eventually turn into universal Medicare. Now is the time to move on and begin working on a program which will repeal it after their mess falls apart. There is no need to replace it as there will be nothing left of Obamacare after the crash. President Donald Jobs Trump made...

A no vote on RYANcare/GOPcare is a vote FOR constitutional government. Obamacare, RYANcare, RINOcare, GOPcare, Hillarycare, Trumpcare or ANY form of federal government mandated health care package is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! The constitution clearly reserves health care and health care insurance to the states and the PEOPLE! The founders did not establish the federal government to be a charity or to "care for" the personal needs of the citizens. The founders never intended to create a welfare state! The constitution was intended to severely RESTRICT the powers of the federal government and to leave most governing powers to the states and the...

And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, Acts 6:12 The media is the only business on the planet which believes it can insult its own customer base on a daily basis. Every other business believes the customer is always right while ABDNCBS pretty much hates theirs. This occurs since the only opinion which matters to them is their echo chamber reflecting the Upper East Side of NYC and a twenty mile radius of DC. Everyone else in America are ignorant rubes who...

Our big spending national government—whether Republican, Democrat or whatever—ran up a national debt approaching ten trillion dollars during the 220 and some odd years prior to Obama taking office. During Obama’s 8 year term, our big spending government nearly doubled that debt. No one’s fault (cough, cough), but we and our posterity are now staring at an unbelievable, unmanageable, unsustainable, unpayable mountain of twenty trillion dollars in accumulated debt with no let up in sight! In fact they want to continue the wholesale printing and spending of money we don’t have and they’re planning on raising the debt ceiling to...

Up until two weeks ago, the Russians were being accused of manipulating the U.S. presidential election, providing the Trump campaign with evidence, and virtually everything else up to landing cosmonauts on Jupiter. Was there anything the Russkies can't do? (Well, besides win the 1980 Olympic Ice Hockey game). Then, in 140 characters, Donald J. Trump, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (hehe--I love saying that)---changed the universe. Let's be clear, outside of the White House and a couple of cubbyholes in the DOJ, no one, including myself, has absolute knowledge of the FISA taps, who was the target, and what they...

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 KJV It looked like rain as I drove the car to the Trump rally, but cleared a bit parking the car. It was poor weather in Portland so the turnout was hampered and it was a bit hard to find people who wanted to go last minute. Walking up with a large flag you could see there were plenty of likeminded patriots willing to stand up for...

Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him. Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball. Ooops. I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to...

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9 KJV What did he know and when did he know it? It is so refreshing to find out the DNC actually believes one of America’s enemies is a threat. After fifty years of allying themselves with every US enemy from Nazi Germany to North Vietnam, China, USSR, PLO, Hamas, Al Qaeda, Iraq, Iran, Black Panthers, Communist Party, Old Media, La Raza, and others it is great for them...

It's All Obama, And Has Been All Along. Valerie Jarret and Barack Obama have plotted to overthrow the President. They are now attempting to execute their plan. I have given the sequence of events some serious thought. By using The Daily Battle data points, believe I have uncovered a nefarious plot, produced by Valerie Jarett and Barack Obama, to depose Donald Trump as President. As ridiculous as it sounds, the premise they decided upon is that Donald Trump solicited help from Russia to pervert the election, on order to ensure that Hillary Clinton lost. This will be used as the...

Dear GWB You are an idiot for helping a media that tore you down. You are also a coward who couldn’t even be bothered to defend yourself when you were president, (I defended you. I wish I could take it back now, you didn't deserve to be defended) Further evidence of your cowardice -- you couldn't be bothered to criticise the terrible obama presidency. But now, now that America’s very democracy is hanging by a thread, you have the nerve to come and out and attack the only person holding it together? FUGWB, Please go crawl under a rock and...

We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thes 1:3 The Head Czar of CommieCzars’ Valerie Jarrett is Tony Rezko and Van Jones without the ethics or charm. She is Obummer’s right hand man who runs the personnel hiring of the Inner Circle. She is a not so closet communist who is doing everything in her power to bring about a Marxist Country. She rose up through the Richard Daley machine working inside the mayor’s office while taking...

Posted 2005 Matthew 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,  The Stone Age Press has become nothing more than a giant Echo Chamber where all the reporters write for each other. The group think has become so predictable if you read or hear one reporter you’ve herd them all. Where has all the original thought or creativity gone in an industry based on painting history with words? There are two main forces blowing through PravdABDNC stifling all...

Posted 2009 Luke 5:30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners? Hope there are fainting zones at King Hussain’s Coronation for the Mediots. We have watched a six month Obasm by these inquisitive reporters gleefully high fiving each other, while ignoring the most corrupt politicians ever. Every one of their messiah’s advisors are involved in or have been involved in graft and corruption. Two have had to resign out due to being caught. The obamedia ignores the obvious connections between clintonista scandals and those who were involved...

Psalm 69:2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. If Global Warming was anything other than a religion the storms on the West Coast would prove the entire theory wrong. Algore and the Warmists claimed in the late 90s that there would be no snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and California would be a desert. Not only are there record amounts of snow the entire Southwest is about to float away. Now we are seeing the real dangers of these liberal zealots who actually believed...

Posted 2008 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:35,37 KJV All the outrage over Bernie Madeoff is pretty surprising. Sure he bilked people out of everything they had, putting them in financial disaster and bankruptcy? So he lied to people over decades taking everything they saved in a fraudulent investment Ponzi scheme bankrupting Pension/Charity and College funds. So he was lying to investigators about those cooked books...

May the Lord direct your hearts into God's LOVE and Christ's perseverance. Warning against Idleness... 2 Thes 3:5 Perhaps the largest job creating Executive Order President Trump has signed was the one gutting Dodd Frank. We have seen the lowering of the Eco-Nazi regulations the EPA put on the energy industry, but this one takes the handcuffs off the banking industry to free up capital for small business. The removal of the Dodd Frank banking bill would stimulate the housing and business world immediately. Even though there is a liquidity problem worldwide, the removal of this bill would allow banks...

In 2013, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg launched an immigration reform lobbying group called FWD.us. The staff of FWD.us was initially led by Joe Green, a college friend of Zuckerberg and the inventor of a Facebook philanthropy-giving app, who had previously worked on John Kerry's Presidential campaign. In September 2014, Green's lack of success at achieving immigration reform led him to be replaced by Todd Schulte, who had previously served as chief of staff at Obama re-election Super PAC Priorities USA Action, which is led by Hillary Clinton 2008 campaign political director Guy Cecil and includes David Brock on its board...

2017 Chinese Navy Review General Introduction The PLAN has continued its many year advance and naval buildup in numerous areas. This is not new, in fact the news is that they sustain this naval growth and modernization as a very high rate of production and have done so now for a decade, year in and year out. It is clear that the Peoples Republ;ic of China continues to move forward to buildup a naval power structure, along with the necessary infrastructure, to put to sea a naval force capable of challenging the US and her allies in the Western Pacific,...

First an introduction: I am an economist with the federal government. There are, therefore, good reasons why you should pay attention to my words, and there are also good reasons to ignore them if you so choose. First, being an economist does not necessarily mean I am right about economics. Clearly there are lots of economists with PhDs from Harvard and other "top" schools who believe that totalitarian gov't control of all the US economy is a great and fabulous thing. There are many economists who have damp fantasies about a Hillary presidency and think that Reagan was retarded little...
