Free Republic

Frum points to the polls: I was interviewed on PBS last week about Palin’s book release. I said that Palin had an especially serious problem with women voters. This is just fact, again recorded in every survey...And yet this attested statistical fact is shrugged off with comments like, “when I saw her campaign in N.H., I was surrounded by moms with strollers”(continued)

Once again, you've got to see it to believe it!

When the government no longer responds to the will of the people who have elected and entrusted their counsil and betsowed authority, then either revolution or adversity will soon follow! The latter occurs when good men do nothing in the face of iniquity!

As Christmas rapidly approaches I am reminded of those long Christmas Eve’s of trying to assemble various bikes, trikes, hot wheels and any number of other toys or small furnishings for my little tikes after they had all gone off to bed. Of course like most Dads I never even glanced at the instructions until all else had failed. After all, how hard could it possibly be to put together something when you have a picture of it right there on the box and supposedly all you are going to need is a screwdriver and a hammer! They never seem...

<p>The Alliance Defense Fund just filed an emergency injunction and restraining order in response to the decision a couple hours ago by an "ethics panel" at East Tennessee Children's Hospital to discontinue care of 9-month-old Gabriel Palmer.</p> <p>Baby Gabriel was born prematurely with a genetic abnormality, club foot, and narrow airway, but he flourished when he went home from the hospital in June, where he grew, played, and received physical therapy while going to regular doctor visits.

This is actually a pretty funny political satire from a conservative YouTuber. Worth the watch.....sign the damn bill....funny stuff!

What lengths would you go to meet Sarah for a few seconds?

Billy and Franklin Graham met and dined with Sarah Palin at their home yesterday, Charlotte Observer also reports that Graham got a call on Nov. 12 from President Obama... charlotteobserver.com Sarah Palin, the hottest name in the Republican Party, took a detour from her book-signing tour Sunday to dine with Billy Graham at his mountaintop home in Montreat. "He's followed her career and likes her strong stand on faith," said son Franklin Graham, who was present for the 2 1/2-hour get-together. "Daddy feels God was using her to wake America up." The former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential...

Or....."How liberalism screws the economy"! The Master Conservative Economist of our time explains what happened in the Great Depression; quite to the contrary of what you may have been led to believe.

With liberal politicans, reporters pan for gold. With conservative politicians, reporters dig for dirt. The media spotlight that has been used as soft backlighting to illuminate President Obama and other liberal darlings doubles as a tightly-focused laser beam to attack Republicans. Just look at the recent issue of Newsweek magazine with its cover photo showing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin wearing, of all things, running shorts. If you think that would be more appropriate on the cover of a magazine about running, you'd be exactly right -- it was a photo originally intended for Runner's World.It's not exactly a dignified...

It should be obvious by now that Barack Obama’s disastrous Cloward-Piven economic policies were not meant to lift the economy. After all, ask yourself, what would Obama be doing differently today if he intentionally set out to destroy the American economy? He’s tripled the national deficit in less than one year. He’s increased the national debt to $12 Trillion. And he’s nearly doubled the unemployment rate since the Bush years. Even Saturday Night Live and Chris Matthews can’t ignore it any longer. Jim Simpson at The American Thinker reported today on Obama’s Cloward-Piven economic plan: It is time to cast...

With so much attention being paid to Sarah Palin's book tour, the Fix decided to put our political nerd cap on -- okay, fine, we always wear it -- and go inside the numbers of where she's stopping and why. All told, the former Alaska governor is making 31 stops in 25 states. Florida will see the most of Palin (three stops), and she will make two appearances each in Texas, Ohio, Indiana and Idaho. Palin will not stop in the most populous state -- California -- or in another biggie, Illinois. She is sticking largely to Republican-friendly areas, as...

There is a lot of talk across the nation about how to replace sitting members of Congress and restore the Republic as established by the Founders. The conversations usually end in frustration as 95% of incumbents continue to be re-elected, seemingly untouchable inside a system designed to keep them in office. Most polls indicate that well over 80% of Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing, yet 95% of incumbents get re-elected every election. Why? Because the process for selecting our representatives is broken. A recent Rasmussen poll said that only 25% of voters insist the election process for...

More than 150 Christian leaders, most of them conservative evangelicals and traditionalist Roman Catholics, issued a joint declaration Friday reaffirming their opposition to abortion and gay marriage and pledging to protect religious freedoms. The 4,700-word document, called "The Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience," sounds familiar themes from political and social debates over the health care overhaul and gay marriage battles. While acknowledging that "Christians and our institutions have too often scandalously failed to uphold the institution of marriage," the group rejects same-sex marriage. The declaration states that opening a legal door for gay marriage would do the same...

Will the Feminist groups be silent on this one?

Rush Limbaugh comments last week enjoined with enhanced video footage....I believe this video is brand new!

It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt. President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery, prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.

This is single sourced for now. Here's the MEMRI Blog source, which is calling out this original reporting from al-Watan.com. A source in Kabul for the Afghan secret talks between the elements in the Taliban led by Mullah Mutawakkil, the Foreign Minister of movement between the American ambassador in Kabul, Lieutenant General Karl Eikenberry, which has achieved progress - without explaining further details. She suggested the United States during the talks give the power to the Taliban in the provinces of Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan and Kunar, and Nuristan, in exchange for not ... Full article...

One YouTuber response reads: "This is about a transfer of wealth and power. Watch it all in the Documentary - Fall of the Republic - You think 0bama is the man sticking up for the little guy when really he is just the puppet standing in front of a special interest group of fat white guys. (Rich Bankers) Wake up son you have been sold out. We have been sold out by both parties. We have been lied to."

When my family lived in West Berlin, some of the simple personal freedoms Germans enjoyed — freedoms that we here in the US don’t have — amazed me. They were small things, really – like no speed limit on the autobahn (highway), and no legal restrictions on the drinking age. Such restrictions have become so commonplace for us, that we can scarcely imagine life without them. I told a German friend of mine that I found it odd that her fellow countrymen had so many more personal freedoms than we do in America. She shrugged her shoulders and said, with...

There's a trend emerging in American politics. I don't think it's a new one, but it's growth is disturbing to me. And it's the amazing hostility to the common people.

Yes, another interview for all of us Palin junkies from a Christian perspective!

Video by Retired Dr. Tim Bell Historical Climatologist explaining why this is such a big deal. "This isn't a smoking gun, this is a whole bunch of smoking machine guns"

The newest threat to the United States is the Oval Office’s Marxist Muslim and his shadow government/czars impregnating evil government. He is out to destroy our democracy, in that sense beheading the infidels. He has long publicly witnessed that he is Muslim, though too many have never recognized that as fact.

The 2008 national election clearly shows our next generation of leaders must possess something that many recent and current elected officials lack: intellectual courage. President Nixon believed all leaders, regardless of their time, needed “brains, guts and heart.” Others have defined those character traits as “the right stuff.” “Given what is likely needed to right our ship of state, I don't think that it will come as a great surprise to many that our current men and women in the military are likely going to be the ‘right’ individuals for the job when they come home,” said Lara Brown, a...

Finished 'Going Rogue' last night - and had a few observations. Be interested in reading other FReepers thoughts as well. 1. Loved the book; the story of the Heath family packing up and heading to Alaska mirrors what my father did, and what I did also.2. I think she was correct in getting her side of the story on her campaign experiences - get it in print unfiltered to the public. 3. No way she endorses Simcox over McCain in Arizona, her admiration and loyalty for McCain goes to the bone. 4. She is definitely running for President.

It would be better if you closed you eyes and just listened to this video clip...

Interesting news tidbit from a Denver channel...

A Fow News report yesterday for those who missed it.

A magazine in Tokyo is reporting that President Obama's summit with Japanese Prime Minister Hatoyama was a frosty disaster, precipitated by incompetence on both sides and an entirely avoidable diplomatic slight to the Japanese side by Obama. The visit was abruptly re-scheduled, seriously inconveniencing the Emperor of Japan, as well as the Prime Minister, whose intricate schedules require meticulous planning and coordination. Japanese weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun cites an unnamed insider at the Foreign Ministry, who delivers a devastating account of not merely a failure to agree, but figurative slaps in the face of the rude president, delivered in retaliation....

Yesterday they underlined this message by pointing to reports showing that Mr Obama had failed to convene a single policy meeting of the Senate European subcommittee, of which he is chairman. There was also strikingly robust criticism from an independent Washington think-tank about a “disconcerting void” over transatlantic relations in Mr Obama’s foreign policy, as well as from a former British Minister for Europe. Mr Obama’s advisers say that he has an “intuitive grasp” of world affairs because he spent part of his childhood abroad. “The benefit of my life of having both lived overseas and travelled overseas is, I...

A 60-39 vote moved the monstrous Reid health care take-over bill to the next phase. The rare Saturday session was a first round fight to pass the bill in the full Senate. This spells trouble for freedom-loving Americans, as bills that make it to debate ultimately pass the full Senate 90 percent of the time. All Democrats and Independents Joe Lieberman (CT) and Bernie Sanders (VT) voted for the measure, and all Republicans voted no, except for George Voinovich (OH) Read more ...

A 5 star video parody of Billy Joel's classic, expressing feelings about our current system.

President Obama is the most promising president since President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program with the following promises:

OMG, you've got to see ths video from a D.C. Washington studio!!! Sub title: Gerald Celente: America Has Become an Under-developing Nation! The videos are flooding in this weekend!

Frustration, anger, disillusionment, disenfranchisement, call it what you will, but sooner or later we can feel it creeping into our minds. The fact that Congress is violating the Constitution and trying to strip the American people of their rights, while refusing to listen to the American people, the vast majority of which do not want the government to control health care, the auto or finance industries, salaries or introduce cap and trade because none of these things are Constitutional, is causing frustration on behalf of the American people. There is a madness sweeping the country. The left hates the right....

In response to Senator Lincoln's decision to vote in favor of cloture, Governor Palin tweets the following: Not sure I can convince Sen. Lincoln to vote no - but will do everything in my pwr to convince my friends in Arkansas to vote against her.,/u>,/b> Senator Lincoln is up for re-election in Arkansas in 2010. Only 29% of Arkansans support Obama's healthcare plan.

This is the third article to appear on these pages from an IBD subscriber who lived in the Soviet Union until 1980. Click here to read the previous two articles. Whenever I speak about my experiences living in the USSR, my American friends respond that such things can never happen in a democracy like the United States. They don't understand why I am repulsed when I hear the president talk about "sacrificing for the collective good," which sounds so compassionate, as opposed to greedy capitalism. "Sacrifice for the collective good" is one of the founding principles of socialism, where the...

I am from San Diego and John Coleman has always been my favorite Weather Man. His catch phrase is "The KUUUUSI Weather Report". I can't remember a single time John was wrong about our Weather. This man knows his weather and is a really good guy. I never knew he founded the Weather Channel. It's about time someone stands up and sues Al Gore and his Global Warming Conspiracy Theories. 30,000 scientist and Al Gore doesn't want to listen. Maybe this will "make" him listen. We all know why the Media and Hollywood want to push Global Warming. Very simple...

In direct contradiction to accusations that it is “dithering” or “wishy-washy,” the Obama Administration has acted forcefully to counter what it calls “the most serious and credible threat we face at this time.” It turns out that it is the rising popularity of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, as evidenced in record-breaking sales of her autobiographical book and the massive crowds that have attended her book-signing appearances, that has spurred a concerted effort at countermeasures from the Obama Administration. While Ms. Palin will still be permitted to go through with an appearance at the Army’s Fort Bragg in North Carolina,...

Another e-mail from info@barackobama.com hit my inbox yesterday. The subject: Sarah Palin. It begins: "Right now, Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn." The mail goes on to say "It's dangerous. Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.""Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform." "So...

November 13, 2009 at 1:09 pm On local Houston radio 2 days ago a private from Ft. Hood called into the AM talk show on 950AM. Since then the host has verified just to be sure that the man was indeed an injured soldier so as not to be fooled. Anyway, the private was with some others that were not critically hurt in a ward. He called in to offer the “difference” between the visit from President Bush vs the visit from President Obama. As you stated, no one knew President Bush was coming, he just showed up. WITH NO...

This is awesome, I love it! (Includes video) In the Beaufort Observer yesterday: Rush Limbaugh to President Obama: "You lie" (about jobs "created or saved") And unfortunately, the data support Rush's argument!

In case you missed it, here is video of Part two of Sarah Palin's interview with Bill O'Reilly. Tonight, they focus on policy issues. Below is the first segment of tonight's Part 2 Interview. In the second part, not yet posted, Palin says bluntly that Obama's foreign policy is weak, citing the fact that Obama is "bowing to other world leaders." We'll post the rest of it once it is available . . . (VIDEO)

Beauty and the beast.....

MI-5, Volume 5 is an unbelievable blue print of the complete take-over of the British government by a dictatorship. The similarities in this season of MI-5 is a carbon copy to how the American Congress is now going to a dictatorship. It really is a must see because you can view how things may indeed be unfolding. It is an amazing series as if it was made with Great Britain as the setting but in reality it is talking about the USA.

The response on this book tour has been overwhelming. We are truly humbled, and I thank you. I've been told that yesterday there were supporters in Noblesville who stood in long lines for hours in the cold and rain, and the book signing event ended without a chance to say hello to everyone who showed up. I am so sorry. We are working on a solution for those who were left behind. I apologize. - Sarah Palin
