Free Republic

Frum's embrace of various liberal positions doesn't make him a dummy, or an unskilled writer, or someone who should be excluded from a necessary conversation among self-identified conservatives about the direction of their wayward movement. It just makes him rather hubristic to envision himself as a general giving marching orders, or as a pope issuing excommunications, to a movement he no longer has much use for.

Dear 1/2 Brother Barack: My Kenyan neighbors and I understand that you like helping your poor struggling African brothers. As you and I are brothers by birth, they said that I should write to you. My community has been discussing that after your country's election, we would welcome you to obtain employment as a "community organizer" here in Kenya. Maybe after Novermber, you will please leave behind your dreams of changing the bitter Americans, and reclaim your roots here in Kenya by blessing us with your organizing skills just as you did in Chicago. I don't know exactly what you...

Attn, I am very sorry for you, is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see we are the members of the Deadly Networks in the world, which is responsible for the bombing of twin tower's in America on Sept. 11th and the bombing of London transport services on July 7th (AL-QUAEDA NETWORKS), I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for...

It takes a "Law & Order"-style investigation to find Fred Thompson on the campaign trail. The lawyer/actor-turned-presidential candidate has been raising eyebrows for months with his unconventional approach to Campaign 2008. He participated in Saturday's ABC News debate and Sunday's Fox News candidates forum, but unlike every other candidate stumping for votes in the precious few days between Thursday's Iowa caucuses and today's New Hampshire primary, Thompson has been remarkable for his low profile. "He's done a terrible job of acting in this campaign," said Diane Owen, an associate professor of political science at Georgetown University. There are no big...

Another tactic that didn't work is illegal immigration. Before Election Day both sides talked it up. ...“I am tough on illegal immigration,” Dr. Mike Breiner said during a WSLS interview. The day before the election Virginia GOP Party Chair John Hager said, “Illegal immigration and our plan to deal with that seems to have had a lot of impact, particularly in Northern Virginia.” But, that didn't pan out when people actually started casting votes. “It probably kept some races closer in nova, but it was not the magic bullet that republicans thought it was going to be to save any...

Moreover, when Thompson filed his disclosure form with the IRS, he revealed that $72,000 of the $3.4 million raised is to be used for the general election. Former FEC General Counsel, Larry Noble told the Washington Post "I think it's problematic. Clearly it's a red flag."

First off, lets remember who greeted us with flowers during their liberation and who didn't.

Michael Moore says he is even more popular these days and Repbulicans come up to hug him. Even if you could fit your arms around him, would you want to hug this guy?

I am not certain what the legal ramifications would be in changing Free Republic from donations to a subscription service. It seems to me the switch may be detrimental to legal issues such as copyrights. If that is true I'd appreciate if someone could briefly explain that to me. However if that is not the case here is my suggestion: I have been wondering about this for some time now and have not seen any discussions about it. So I would like to ask: Is it time for Free Republic to become an online subscription service? Currently, the site is...

Arab politicians plan to urge the U.N. to ban the slandering of religions. They want violations of such a resolution to be punishable by the useless world body.

I got an idea to create a political landscape map using the new mapping tools on the internet. Suggestions welcome.

He sure seems to like them mexicans. He was even talking about letting 'em into the country! Dang nabbit - I'm gonna lose my job if'n he keeps up flacking his jaw. How we supposed to make that many foodstamps fer all of 'em!? Them coming over here and taking my tax money is terrorism, where's our war on them? If Allen likes 'em so much let's send 'em to his house. We'll put signs up at the border on how to get there. See how much he supports the illegals then.
