AMERICANS WARMING TO SOCIALISM OVER CAPITALISM, POLLS SHOW”, states a poll at FoxNews.com Well of course they are. Most Americans are not critical thinkers. They look to the pack or the herd. Either they haven’t been trained how to be critical, independent and objective thinkers, or they’re simply too lazy to learn. Or both. As a result of no critical thinking, it doesn’t occur to people why America is a far, far better place to live materially — even if you’re in the poorest sector — than anywhere else on earth. No country on earth has a crisis of immigration...

Late Sunday night, in a narrow and partisan vote, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the most significant piece of social legislation in over seven decades. It did so in the face of overwhelming and principled opposition from the American people. Large majorities of Americans oppose this legislation because it offends the historic American dedication to the principle of self-government. They understand that this new law will accelerate Washington's intrusion into our most personal and private decisions. This is why opposition to this bill will only grow. Supporters of this bill argue that popular hostility will recede upon its passage....

Democrats + Socialist = Majority Welcome to Washington By The Directors Posted in Congress — Comments (108) / Email this page » / Leave a comment » As the sun rises on the United States, the Democrats take over both houses of Congress -- aided in the Senate by an unrepentant socialist, Bernie Sanders, and numerous ideological socialists in the House who run on the Democrat banner. Republicans will be in the minority and will have little power in the House, though conservatives can take comfort in the leadership of Jeb Hensarling at the RSC. In the Senate, Republicans will...

There's nothing like a good photo op to revive a slumping politician. On a day of ceremony and substance opening the Democratic-controlled Congress, lawmakers flocked from their real swearing-in, which was held in groups in the House and Senate chambers, to a pretend one in front of the cameras. Families in tow, they raised their right hands and rested the other one on the Bible or other religious text, as if making a pledge, and had their pictures taken one-on-one in a mock swearing-in for the folks back home. The photo-op oath seemed to have the restorative power of smelling...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tracey Schmitt 202-863-8614 “MoveOn.org’s vulgar depiction of a violent attack on the Capitol -- a building that symbolizes our democracy -- is beyond the pale of acceptable political discourse. Democrats know Senator Frist’s efforts are intended to restore Senate tradition by granting highly qualified judicial nominees the vote they deserve and have received for the past 214 years. It’s sad that the Democrats and their third party allies would choose to play on Americans’ fears instead of engaging in constructive political debate.” - RNC Communications Director Brian JonesMoveon.Org Has Long History Of Airing Inflammatory And Inappropriate Ads...

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Content/read.asp?ID=82 I am sorry I cannot post pictures so I am showing the URL. It is the personal story of one very gutsy teenager and his friends who wanted to post politically incorrect posters in his high school and the attemps to shut him up. Very well written and documented with photos, I am rather amazed at the courage it took to stand up for principal. I guarantee my fellow Freepers are going to love this story

The world thought communism had heard its death knell in 1987 when President Ronald Reagan exhorted ''Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!'' Communism as the world knew it then did begin its downfall. But, slyly, the evil of communism did not fully die. It exists today in the form of socialism. The 45 communist goals read into the Congressional Record in 1963 clearly show its relationship to socialism, and reveal its continuing goal to take over America. (Google ''45 communist goals'') Most Americans probably associate 1963 with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Widespread civil discord and Martin Luther...
