Free Republic

I have never understood the Sarah Palin attraction. Sorry. I just don’t I am a die-hard conservative, but Sarah Palin does not do it for me. Never did. When she was first announced as John McCain’s running mate, I cringed, but then reluctantly understood. This was a political “Hail Mary” pass for the McCain campaign. Honestly, what could the poor man do from where he stood in the polls and in the modern American environment in which he was nominated? Answer: apparently little, aside from dumbing himself down to the political environment of the times—i.e., try to match the idiocy...

I bring you the State Dinner menu. First item: Potato and Eggplant Salad White House Arugula with onion seed vinaigrette 2008 sauvignon blanc, Modus Oprendi, Napa Valley, California Perhaps the price at Whole Foods is no longer an issue because they're growing it in the garden? “Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?” the senator said. “I mean, they’re charging a lot of money for this stuff.”

Peter Schiff is a Republican genius when it comes to the economy. He singlehandedly destroys Obama'a plan to save the economy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ItttTID3k&feature=subtivity

These days, with a socialist in power I'm not the most patriotic man in America. But let me tell you this- after looking at her Newsweek cover photo, run that up the flagpole and I will salute it. I will start wearing red white and blue socks. I will have the preamble tattooed on my left leg. I will give the office of the presidency the respect it deserves.

I am a Republican. There can be no other political home for me. But these are not happy times on the right side of the aisle.

It's time for Republicans to put the ghosts of communism behind us and confront the challenges we face today.

The American Family Association, a conservative Christian group, has published an article on its website calling for Muslims to be barred from military service. It it is time to stop the practice of allowing Muslims to serve in the U.S. military.

"Don't be frightened. We mean you no harm."

Muslims take full advantage of America’s freedom of speech to broadcast the Revolution Muslim cultic line per their own street vendors’ open season.

Unlike her media critics, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fully grasps the significance of the outcome of those elections next year. Should the GOP capture control of the House in the 2010 elections, the threat to our nation's future posed by Barack Obama will be eliminated. He’ll be a lame duck for two long years.

This is a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood Admin Moderators (Sidebar gave us some attitude so we shoved him in the closet for a while. He never recovered from the Yacht incident) For a while, we have noticed some things happening that we need your help with. The Free Republic community is strong; we are almost a family, albeit very dysfunctional at times. Like any community, we have new members joining us daily. Unfortunately, the air of suspicion and the desire to keep things “the way they are” has fostered a feeling of distrust with new members. Almost...

Anyone else having difficulty displaying foxnew.com/politics articles using Firefox,Safari or Camino? All of these browsers use the Google tool to block reported attack sites and web forgeries. Turning off that "feature" allows me to display the text of the article after relaunching the browser. Turning that "feature" on prevents the text from being displayed. Only the header is displayed.

Why does President Barack Obama’s White House continue to be mired in distraction? Since the president took office there has been Gates Gate; the international snub in Copenhagen, Denmark, after the president flew there overnight to make a bid for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Olympics; the call for New York Gov. David Patterson not to seek election to a full term; and now the puerile decision to attack Fox News.

Fellow conservitives hope and change is here now is our time now is our place change is coming. We need change and hope, we are the ones we have been waiting for. Its now time to rally the base the real conservitives. Lets let go of the independents and the so called undeceided voters after all they are fence sitters and the liberals will take them . We shuold however leave them as we need not have a wavering unsure base to build upon so let them go they only help dems. As for us lets start a new change...

I have a record about a Mile long. B&E, Robbery, Depriving and beating the Crap out of a cop, Grand Theft, Lying to an enforcement agent , Depriving the scumbag cop of his weapon .. (I'm a 6th degree blackbelt) "AND" .. Being nothing more than a Scumbag miscreant! I applied for a position as a CZAR at the White house and was turned down. (actually .. I never received an answer to my resume) isn't that a form of Discrimination? Let me be clear. When I submitted my very personal resume to the White-House, I had to admit that...

Are you a conservative or libertarian blogger? Do you take issue with and write pieces that don't mesh with Obama's policies? If you do, Eric Holder, United States Attorney General, is possibly getting feedback on what you've been blogging about.

We're on a mission to defeat every RINO who ever runs in another GOP primary. Our main vehicle is a website, removerinos.com, aimed at compiling an e-mail list of 25,000 potential donors to any candidate who'll oppose Snowe and/or 22 other RINOs. With over 500 citations (2/3 from the ACU), it’s also one of the most informative sites on the subject of RINO voting records. After Snowe’s vote today, THIS truly is the time to start putting together donor lists to try to beat these RINOs. Please go to removerinos.com and see what you can do. We can still change...

It appears our party has not learned its lesson. First Chris Christie rejected Palin's help. and now it appears Bob McDonnell is doing the same thing. There are some very powerfull people in the GOP who are trying to pull things over on us. Sure, they may say all the right things. But open your eyes and pay close attention to what is happening. I am calling on all Freepers in Virginia to vote against Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell. this is our party. we have to send a strong message and hit the liberal GOP leadership right between the...

42% of voters agree that people randomly selected from a phone book would do a better job in Congress than the current Congress. It is time to flush the corruption out of Congress. It’s time to vote out the career politicians who are destroying America. It is time to run non political candidates for Congress. Should we take our country back by replacing career politicians in Congress with common citizens? Cast your vote: http://www.CongressionalLotteryPool.com It's time for real change!

Hi, I have been a longtime lurker, and this is my first post. I am a recovering democrat. I would like to ask all if they could email the IOC members to award the 2016 Olympics to Rio. Hillbuzz (yes, its a Hillary site, but they support Sarah Palin wholeheartedly) has a great post with all the email addresses. I think it would make a greater impact for Americans to lobby for Rio. (An added plus.. a slap in the face of Mrs."take no prisoners") Thank you. http://hillbuzz.org/2009/09/29/help-save-our-city-contact-list-of-ioc-voting-members-to-tell-them-to-send-the-games-to-rio/

By saying that Republican John McCain would have been a worse president than Barack Obama............ (I have no use for the rest of this website's drivel. I just want the substance of what Beck said)

Please follow up with this as a possible way to change "leaders" PLEASE CHANGE YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION IF YOU ARE NOT A REGISTRATED VOTER..PLEASE REGISTER AS INDEPENDENT. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR LEININGS ARE RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE BACK WHEN EVER YOU WANT. YOU CAN STILL VOTE FOR WHOMEVER YOU WISH. IT IS WAY PAST TIME TO STOP THIS MADDNESS. IF YOU WANT YOUR SO CALLED REPRESENTATIVES TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOU….THIS WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION! Most of these people have not been representing the citizens of our great nation. They have been representing each other or corrupt organizations...

Let’s face it, none of the candidates are perfect. They never are. But McCain is the least perfect of the viable candidates. The only one left standing who can honestly be said to share most of our conservative principles is Mitt Romney. I say this as someone who has not been an active Romney supporter. If conservatives don’t unite behind Romney at this stage, and become vocal in their support for him, then they will get McCain as their Republican nominee and probably a Democrat president.

Generals implore the "president" for more troops. High treason is criminal disloyalty to one's country. Obama: No plans for additional troop increase in Afghanistan: TRY OBAMA FOR HIGH TREASON.

Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found. The poll contradicts the claims of not only the White House, but also doctors' own lobby — the powerful American Medical Association — both of which suggest the medical profession is behind the proposed overhaul. It also calls into question whether an overhaul is even doable; 72% of the doctors polled disagree with the administration's claim that the government can cover...

World’s leading economies have already spent over $10 trillion on the anti-crisis struggle. This astronomical number makes up $10,000 per each tax-payer, economists with the International Monetary Fund said. The United States and Britain take the lead in terms of the anti-crisis spending. World’s largest financial centers – New York and London - are located on the territories of these two countries: it is simply impossible to overestimate the significance, which these two centers play in the formation of the crisis. The largest bailout programs were passed in the USA and Britain, the BBC said. The States used $3.6 trillion...

The Constitution of the United States was created by the people of the United States composing the respective states, who alone had the right.” - James Madison Today marks the 222nd anniversary of the formation and signing of our Constitution. The United States Constitution is one of the greatest founding documents in history because it charted a bold new path in the realm of political theory. Not only does the Constitution establish checks and balances within the federal government, it also divides power among the federal government, the states, and the people. The Founders understood that it is the nature...

I heard a noise and saw it was my friend. He said he needed help and asked me if I'd lend An alibi that would save his neck. He rushed through my front door and told me of the wreck. They were "ambushed by a gang of mean men." What they did to his girl, he called: "the darkest sin." They roasted her, ate her flesh off bone. They forced him to partake and then left him alone. Once saved my life when we went off to war. He was a one man force, an action movie star. I always...

Most local school districts are not planning to broadcast President Barack Obama's speech to students Tuesday live in their classrooms. The typical approach is that of the Chester School District, which has opted to record the noon broadcast and make the recording available afterward to teachers who want to show it, rather than interrupt classes with a live showing. The Monroe-Woodbury School District is also recording the speech for potential viewing in kindergarten through eighth grade, while giving high school teachers the option of showing the speech live if it's pertinent to their courses. The White House has described the...

My Opinion, The green czar has been working with the prisons, telling the Muslim population they have Union jobs when they get out in the Solar Panel industry. The Administration knows they would have a difficult time getting our Armed Forces to go against us. But the recently released prison population would have no problem going door to door confiscating our weapons. (Beware) This will very soon, so take what ever action you need to take to protect your homes. Remember what happened in Rowanda, there they stole,looted, raped and killed and took whatever they wanted. I sure hope I'm...

GM killed the beautiful electric street cars! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_NcwTbpIDQ You see them all over Europe; but who killed all the electric street cars in America? Answer: GM – The same people you bailed out this year with billions upon billions of free tax payer money! Criminal conspiracy chargers were pressed resulting in a fine of one dollar. Meanwhile, places that lost their street cars like LA, will need 150 billion to replace just a small portion of the electric street car system! How beautiful the world would be if the USA wasn’t run by elites who legally bribe their politicians. I...

Excuse the vanity but you guys MUST hear this. As you know if you have read any of my posts, I use to be an attorney. Well, my friendly local police department just made a HUGE MISTAKE and I can assure you they will pay for it. I post it here, not for sympathy but to show just how eroded our rights have become.

I am fed up with the federal government and the liberal media trying to enforce their anti second-amendment agenda. In 2000, the socialist Michael Moore made his slanderous documentary which blamed all of us responsible gun owners and NRA members for the tragedy at Columbine. In 2004 the Democrats failed to put a very strong anti second amendment senator in the White House. In 2008, the republicans put up an anti second amendment presidential nominee and the Democrats put up the most extreme nominee and vice president since McGovern. The only hope us gun owners have is to support Palin...

Hi everyone I’m new here at FreeRepublic, but I need help from people I trust. I trust the people here, who understand that no government bureaucrat should decide who gets health care… my father has a serious health condition and as hes getting older I worry… and I don’t want to worry that OBOMBO’s death panel will decide whther he should live or die. ONLY GOD MAKES THAT CHOICE, but I understand that you all know this. America is the greatest country in the world because we are a free democracy where we choose and we have the life we...

Wow. I find it utterly astounding that people wasted their effort criticizing somebody for simply posting up lyrics to a song. You guys are truly leading the revolution! Right from your lap tops. Haha. I wonder if you would have the guts for any real activism. Doubt it highly. Have fun continuing to be a part of the millions of Americans, who believe that they are informed about world affairs from what CNN gives you. Count me out. And by the way... I do work. I dont do any kind of drug. But hey. What do I care if you...

It is amazing that people are writting to this site and saying there is no need for a snitch to write in, they are not afraid in the least to identify themselved as non-believers in the way he has handled healthcare or the bailout programs.

I will not link to his site but the slimeball Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs IS BLAMING AMERICAN CITIZENS FOR VIOLENCE BEING PERPETRATED AGAINST THEM. This racist bigot has posted hateful things about arabs & muslims for years (not just terrorists but all muslims). Violence is wrong! Now surprise surprise when a black man is beaten & hospitalized in St. Louis by SEIU thugs and a cancer patient and business man are assaulted in Tampa by SEIU thugs it's their own fault. This man has a DEFECT and it's sick that any conservative EVER listened to him just because...

I'm tired of the government appropriating my money for liberal causes, therefore I wish to limit the funds that go to leftists either through taxation and especially with discretionary spending. I would like to know if there is a website that lists conservative owned and liberal owned businesses. A repository site like Angie's list or Yelp where conservatives can go to find local or national owned conservative businesses. I know this information isn't always available but sometimes it is through political signs during elections, personal contacts with the owners, or the conversations that take place in businesses etc. I no...

The MLB supports Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, despite all the alligations against Michael Jackson.

It has now become an annual ritual, as predictable as an eclipse: Frank Lindh and Marilyn Walker come out before the media to extol the virtues of their son, Suleyman al-Faris, also known as Abdul Hamid. Don’t recognize the names? Perhaps you may remember him by his real name — John Walker Lindh (”Jihad Johnny”), the American Taliban. This year is no exception, and Frank Lindh and Marilyn Walker want to talk again to anyone who’ll listen, in an effort to get their son out of federal prison. This year, the story has been picked up by Amy Goodman and...

WASHINGTON – Sometimes you just want to shake your head and wonder what’s in the water.

I've heard Osteen say in the 'beginning' that he doesn't mention the word 'sin' because in his words, "he doesn't want to beat anyone down by doing so or make them feel guilty, when they're going through enough already"? "Huh"? What am I missing here? If we say we're "followers" of Christ, and the Bible says we're to remind people of the 'sin' in their lives, in order for them to learn what 'Christ has done for them to get rid of that sin', then how are we helping them by keep our mouths shut by only giving them 'feel...

Birthers' fiction takes on a life in media, despite the facts.

CNN) -- A Boston, Massachusetts, police officer who sent a mass e-mail in which he referred to Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. as "banana-eating" and a "bumbling jungle monkey" has been placed on administrative leave and faces losing his job. Officer Justin Barrett, 36, who is also an active member of the National Guard, sent an e-mail to some fellow Guard members, as well as the Boston Globe, in which he vented his displeasure with a July 22 Globe column about Gates' controversial arrest. The columnist, Yvonne Abraham, supported Gates' actions, asking readers, "Would you stand for this kind...

<p>Fellow Freepers, which sort of conservative described in this list are you?</p>

Pollster John Zogby says the Republican Party could be "teetering on the brink" of extinction as it fails to appeal to the fastest-growing demographic groups in America.

MORE AND MORE I AM IDENTIFYING LIBS WHO ARE TRYING TO THROW US OFF COURSE AND GET US TO FIGHT AMONGST OURSELVES. THE ONLY THING THEY WANT TO DO IS SPEAK ABOUT CHENEY AND HOW THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY SUCKS DONT ANSWER THESE PEOPLE LET THERE BLOGS FALL ON DEAF EARS THE WAY THE MEDIA DEALS WITH FACTS WE WILL DEAL WITH THE AGITATORS.
