Impeachment hearings are a taxpayer-funded, propaganda war of political intimidation: an attempt not only to undermine Pres Trump, but to demoralize and break the will of those who voted for him. Democrats are not solemnly upholding the Constitution. They are conducting psychological warfare under the pretext of law. They want the president and his supporters — those who dared challenge the permanent, elite government class — to know they can never win. Stand with us, “get on the right side of history,” or suffer the consequences, just like the president you supported, is the message. This is not good faith,...

Forget all the talk about whether we will or won't go over the fiscal cliff. We ourselves are the fiscal cliff and have been for some time now. The real fiscal cliff is not the point at which we run out of money, our credit rating sinks lower than Enron and or everyone is fighting over jars of cat food at Wal-Mart. The real fiscal cliff is when even the dumbest person in the country is no longer able to deny what the packs of robbers and thieves he appointed to steal for him have perpetrated for their own benefit...

Take a ride to a welfare neighborhood some fine morning, evenings are best avoided even in the safest such places. Don't go in expecting Detroit. Even much of Detroit doesn't look like Detroit. Newark and Oakland aren't even there yet. Detroit is what happens when the load is too big and there's no one left to carry it. Most welfare neighborhoods are still located in cities where there is someone left to pick up the tab. You'll see less charred buildings and more towering multistory housing projects. Some of these are the ugly bestial fortresses that date back to FDR's...

As an advocate of full educational freedom, I am occasionally asked what America would be like if compulsory school attendance laws were done away with and the government got out of the education business. My answer is that we'd probably become the best-educated nation in the world. Why? Because when parents are in charge of their own children’s education, they will seek the best they can get, and in this age of high technology and endless resources, the very best is available to anyone who wants to look for it. Let's face it. The public schools use the most boring...

Lisa Murkowski to run a write-in campaign -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Dan Fagan Publisher The Alaska Standard Just as Frank and Lisa Murkowski put their own interests ahead of the nation’s eight years ago with nepotism, Lisa will once again put political ambition ahead of love for country.

Lisa Murkowski will announce live that she is running as a write-in candidate after losing her Republican Primary bid for senate. The thing to look for is those who will be standing behind her. The Murkowski camp has been...

I have posted this to a number of threads where it was germaine to the topic. Yesterday, a fellow Freeper suggested that, with a CRITICAL election coming up on 11/2, it merited its own thread. So, here it is. Have at it!! :-)) ***************************************** Over the years – when, to steal a line from Billy Joel, I wore a younger man’s clothes – I was involved with several pretty solid conservative candidates for Congress. One was a Democrat (Lawrence Patton McDonald) – because that was the only way he could win in that district. Those old-timers who know Larry’s record...
