Free Republic

It was an arrogant Keyshawn Johnson who demanded 'gimme the damn ball"... and his impulse action and outlandish selfish demands lead nowhere but at least he could hold onto a pass and was productive in a limited way... On December 15th, in front of 100,000 people, Barak Obama will praise Nelson Mandela BUT demand that he be given the baton formerly held by the departed South African Communist Party member.... Obama couldn't build a sand box if he was given all the components for free, and Obamacare is one complicated sandbox and its so broken there is no time for...

Didn't it take about two years to build the empire state building way back in the 30's? Before we had all of this modern technology? And how long did it take to build the Wills Tower&Disney World? What we are seeing is the sheer stupidity of Liberals running the show. And the left always claims that Congress could never get anything done?

In his weekly radio address, President Obama preposterously pouted that "it's well past the time for folks to stop rooting for [ObamaCare's] failure," with the obvious implication that conservative Republicans are in fact cheering for the pain of the un-insured. No, Mr. President, we are not. We are, however, having a delicious moment of schaden-fraud. This is the magnificent validation we are experiencing as all elected Democrats and members of the Jurassic media are fast discovering that the man and the plan they have so arrogantly shoved down our throats - and so naively placed their hopes in -- are...

WASHINGTON — Next year was supposed to be a prime opportunity for Republicans to retake the Senate. And for a while, everything seemed to be breaking their way: a wave of Democratic retirements, a fluke in the electoral map that put a large number of races in states that President Obama lost, a strong farm team of conservative Senate hopefuls from the House. Then the government shut down. Now, instead of sharpening their attacks on Democrats, Republicans on Capitol Hill are being forced to explain why they are not to blame and why Americans should trust them to govern both...

In contemplating the bizarre, incompetent, and feckless behavior of House Speaker John Boehner over the years, I am reminded of the signature scene from the 1969 Western comedy Support Your Local Sheriff: In it,the sheriff (James Garner) ridicules dim-witted prisoner Joe Dandy (Bruce Dern), deriding him and maintaining full control even though his jail has no bars. The money scene is from 2:40 through 3:30: The cell on the right is yours. We don't have any bars yet...but we're gonna operate just as if the bars are there...so while you're in this jail, you stay on that side of the...

In the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report released on Friday, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that only about 2 percent of the U.S. population are men who have sex with men. The CDC made the assertion in a new report indicating that 80 percent of all new HIV infections in 2010 were of men and that 78 percent of those were among men who have sex with men (MSM). “MSM represent approximately 2 percent of the U.S. population,” said the MMWR. …

Sorry, Mr. Secretary, any you stepped directly into this one with both feet, and will never outlive this moniker. From small minds come small solutions, but anyone who thinks that a single small operation will have any lasting impact on the incredibly complex situation in Syria should not be Secretary of State, or President for that matter.

As Obamacare is implemented in the U.S. Americans will be forced to give up the privacy usually taken for granted when seeing their doctor—one more reason to defund it.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Are three years of law school really necessary? President Obama does not think so. During an August 23 speech at the State University of Binghamton, Binghamton, New York, Obama broached the subject of cutting the law school curriculum by one year. During a Q & A session, the president talked about ...

How much was the purse the clerk showed Oprah? $1,000 or $25,000? If $1,000 then you could buythe arguement that the clerk didn't want to show the purse because she didn't think the customer could afford it. If it was a very expensive purse Ianthe $25,000+ Opeah's argument falls apart. By appearence only if you can afford a $25,000 purse you probably can afford the $38,000 one. If I go to a store to buy something and the clerk shows me something identical which costs a lot less I appreciate it. If they are close I'll evaluate the difference and...

This is most definitely a current event. My son was just picked up today for his first 2 hour driving lesson. I can't believe it's come to this. :) I'm sitting here at work and I feel a tremendous - I don't know what. This is almost surreal.

Famous black liberals continued their attacks on CNN's Don Lemon Tuesday. Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons weighed in on Twitter a few hours ago calling Lemon a "slave," "dangerous talking head," and a "disservice to the black community": The nucleus of almost all revolution lies in youth culture. If I was young my pants would be saggin.. #donsalemon.. — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013 Don Lemon conservatives love when we blame ourselves for the condition of the community. You do disservice to black community — Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) July 30, 2013 Hip hop language and clothes are expressions of frustration...

We live in an apartheid state, where the institutional Left controls the government of our country…despite Leftists themselves being a small minority (around 22% or so) of the population. People who consider themselves “conservative” account for almost 70% of the population, regardless of what party they affiliate with. But, the Left wins the Culture Wars because Leftists are disciplined, committed to victory, and count on conservatives doing incredibly stupid things every day that Democrats just LOVE. Here are ten things you need to permanently stop doing — starting today — because each of these simple things is just like mailing...

Fifty years of socialist rule in Detroit has achieved a revolution in cheap housing. Because 60 percent of the population of Detroit fled from the city because of high crime rates, there are more houses than people in Detroit. This article from Bloomberg Businessweek says that you can buy a house in Detroit for $6,000. http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/hotproperty/archives/2009/03/the_median_home.html This is less than what most people pay for a used car. Advocates of "affordable housing" must be very happy.

Detroit --- Why? A few years back I received a link to pictures of Hiroshima after August 6, 1945 followed by pictures of Hiroshima today. Hiroshima today was a brightly lit sprawling modern city. The pictured continued with pictures of Detroit today for comparison with Hiroshima today. I was curious about what caused a diminishing Detroit but at the same time, I was suspicious if the pictures were accurate. Over time, I read a few articles that supported the pictures I had seen. The events of late regarding Detroit filing bankruptcy makes me more curious. I have my own opinion...

When the Sanford, Florida PD investigated George Zimmerman 's claims of self defense all the evidence supported his claims. They handled the case exactly as they would any similar case. When a mob appeared threatening to burn Sanford to the ground Sanford's gutless and spineless City Commissioners told the chief of police to throw Zimmerman to the mob, we don't want our windows broken or our customers scared away. The chief stood up for the law, as he was sworn to do and they fired him. They demoted the lead investigator because he would not lie for them. The noise...

When you start to think about Holder sending workers to Florida to drum up protests, and Obama not on the ticket in 2014, did Obama orchestrate this otherwise 'open and close' self defense incident for political reasons? Did he do it to drive blacks to the polls in 2014? I'm beginning to think this is the worst abuse of power I've ever seen in my lifetime.

<p>Four central Pennsylvania residents said they used only a rope and a flashlight during a wild chase to rescue a young bear whose head had been stuck in a plastic jar for at least 11 days.</p> <p>Area residents first spotted the 100-pound bruin with its head in a red jar on June 3, but it eluded game wardens.</p>

Glenn Beck today on his show stated that he plans to break news within 24 hours that could take down the entire power structure of the government.
