Free Republic

Dear Potential Tyrant: We arrive at a crucial point in determining the future of this nation: Preserve our republic, or commit national suicide by implementing wholesale socialism. Americans are angry. We are angry with the career politicians who push unconstitutional legislation down our throats, despite our letters, faxes, e-mails and peaceful protests. We are angry that even our health care is not safe from these ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing. We are angry that the only logical incentive for such grossly onerous attacks on our freedoms is the control gained through total subjugation of the American people. If those in...

I may be wrong, but wouldn't Black Friday be a perfect day for "tea parties"? Everyone off work, many going shopping. Also it would be another way to "starve the beast".

LONDON – An auction house says it is selling a rare first edition of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" found in a family's guest lavatory in southern England. Christie's auction house said Sunday the book — one of around 1,250 copies first printed in 1859 — had been on a toilet bookshelf at a family's home in Oxford. The book will be auctioned on Tuesday, the 150th anniversary of the publication of the famous work. Christie's said the book is likely to sell for 60,000 pounds ($99,000).

While he continues to harm troop morale in Afghanistan by refusing for the past three months to send urgently requested reinforcements, Barack Obama has taken the time to pen an op-ed for USA Today praising the most famous draft dodger of the 20th Century, Muhammad Ali, for his ability to overome the "adversity" caused by his refusal to serve his country in a time of war.While Ali can be praised for his humanitarian work and the way he has connected with people all across the globe, which Obama does in the article, for a commander-in-chief in a time of war...

I'm watching Fox News Sunday and it suddenly occurs to me that 0bama is NOTHING without Bush. Everything 0bama does is juxtaposed against Bush. If Bush didn't exist, nothing 0bama has said/done would have standing.

The “Precious Blind Side” By justinwashingtontheblogger Seeing these two movies one day apart was a major juxaposition — a clash of what the world can be in two completely different ways. “Precious” is a deeply dark and depressing world; a huge, young, black, underaged girl who finds herself pregnant for the second time (!) by her own father, living in a two-story, run-down Section 8 (government) housing project with an incredibly abusive “mother” (played beyond belief by actress Mo’nique who had better win an Academy Award for this indelible performance). Precious’ mother is supported by (government) welfare programs; she is...

Today healthcare vote in the Senate was so badly represented by many on our side and of course by the media and was blown way out of proportion. In reality it is a meaningless vote. The vote today was only to start the debate and it is absolutely does not guarantee at all that the current bill in the Senate with it current version of public option aka socialized medicine is going to pass. In fact as it stands now this current bill is assured to be defeated because the socialists are not going to get 60 votes for cloture...

Anyone here see this? I have googled it and it seems that they havent given up.

Barack Obama played golf for over four hours today at Andrews Air Force Base, according to the AP.Our troops in Afghanistan have been waiting months for reinforcements urgently requested by Obama's hand picked Afghan commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal.Millions of Americans have lost their jobs under Obama--and they're not getting new ones--as unemployment has skyrocketed to 10.2% with no sign of abating anytime soon.Obama has blown out the budget and deficit.His foreign policy from the Middle East to Asia is in a shambles.His approval rating is below 50%, including in swing states he won last year like Iowa, Ohio and Virginia.He...

Did anyone else catch this? Just now on C-SPAN, Harry Reid quotes communist Andrei Sakharov in closing statement of Senate debate on socialist health care. Google: Andrei Sakharov OK granted, Sakharov was not a ranting Leninist but why wouldn't Harry quote a founder or an American patriot to make his simplistic, sophomoric point. O wait, Harry IS a ranting Leninist...

It's no coincidence that the second major vote to Nationalize our health care system takes place also on a Saturday night. The Democrats strategy here is clear. AGAINST PUBLIC OPINION, this power grab of another one sixth of our economy proceeds almost under the cover of darkness, by design on a Saturday night when their phones are disconnected and their Emails unacknowledged. TV NEWS goes largely unwatched on Saturday nights. The Dems know few are watching them on the weekends, so (just like last time) they chose this day so they could HIDE from us as they pull their dirty...

Obama early on stated that he answered an 'altar call' at Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. For an altar call to be scheduled in a liberal sanctuary is something else. He witnessed that he met Christ at that juncture. That church would have had to be white-hating Jeremiah Wright's. How all Wright's rant fits in with an old-fashioned Dwight L. Moody style altar call is beyond me.

Sorry for the vanity post. I just phoned U.S. Senator Bayh's office to express my opposition to the so-called health care reform bill. What a coward. No one was in his office to answer the phone and his VM was full - at which point the automated system dropped my call. They're supposed to listen to us? Sure. What a feckless coward and self serving tool.

What will be the results of Election 2010

I just heard Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La) speak live on the Senate floor, carried by Fox News. Fox reported last night that Obama & the White House cronies were trying to buy her off with $100 million for her State. Well, the price was right. She sold out; she's voting tonight to move the Senate Health Care Bill fwd. But, what do we expect from someone who's ancestors were friends of Huey "Kingfish" Long. The most corrupt politician in LA history. I just went to www.gradegov.com and gave her an "F" and sent a scathing e-mail along with it.

it's done folks...

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living HOPE through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3 It seems the Olympic suicide flu is spreading through Chicago. Michael Scott another dirty political partner of Valerie Jarrett decides to blow his brains out. We all know the Daley motto, dead men tell no tales and Scott won’t be talking. Of course we also know that suicide in Chi-town is like going for a swim w/lead sneakers in NJ. This is...

This is three days in a row now that guests and the hosts on FoxNews have said her future does not lie in politics, but Television, even now talking about her as a replacement for Oprah. This really ticks me off. These people are so condecending of Sarah, and therefore me. Have you guys been noticing this. FoxNews is continually telling everyone she is not fit to be president, I say BS ...

Ann Arbor, Michigan POLL: Should guns be allowed on campus?

We may have to put up with a congress that has some prostitutes, but let's at least call it what it is: Bribery..... I remember the old days when regular folks went to jail for such things on the radio: play my record I'll build you a pool....get caught and get fired.... But today we even practice reciprocal bribery: I give you 100 million, you throw me a fund raiser....my, my how we have grown..... And the real sweetner in this is that these criminals use OUR money to do the bribing......Bowow and Peeelosi bribe the house and Bowow and...

Is anyone planning on heading down to the US Capitol tonight? Is anything officially organized yet?

May I suggest amending Harry Reid's Health Care Plan to Connect it DIRECTLY to future Senatorial Junketing Funds? If, in any future year, This {Reid's} plan adds to the National Debt; the SENATE MUST cut it's next year's Junketing Budget by 50% {from THE Prior Year's funding}. While "The House" writes each Year's actual Bill, IT [The House] Must respect & include this Portion of this Bill. A 'Sense of the Senate' letter to Pelosi {suggesting a similar addition to the House Junket Budget process} would be a Natural.

So, I guess Mr. Jackson thinks it's health-care holding down the black man this time...Just yesterday he said "can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man," and then he goes on to proclaim "Among the black and the poor, the infant mortality rate is higher, life expectancy is shorter, poverty is growing and unemployment is highest," he said. Well hell yeah, if you are pregnant and do crack, your babies die; if you live in the hood - you get shot; if you don't finish high school and get a college education you can expect poverty in...

THE UNITED STATES WILL NOT APOLGIZE FOR DEFENDING & PROMOTING LIBERTY: We do not say we're sorry to other nations, organizations, or individuals for our involvement in world affairs in defense of our citizens' life and liberty, and in defense of our national and vital interests. We count interfering with and bringing down tyrants and dictators like Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, Stalin, Mao, Noriega, Hussein, the Taliban, Al Quida and others as an honor. We bow to NOONE in this regard and demand that our elected and appointed officials not do so. If similar individuals, nations, or groups threaten our...

Six critical reasons to never try those who wage Jihad terror against America, or any other irregular enemy combatant, in any U.S. civilian criminal court: It extends American juris prudence rights and procedure to enemy combatant irregulars who, according to the Geneva convention, don't deserve prisoner of war status and deserve, according to the same, to be executed after a military tribunal. It offers a very real prospect because of venue, how testimony was obtained, miranda readings to someone who deserves none, etc., etc. that terrorists will get either reduced sentences or be aquitted. As a result of giving testimony...

Ohaha made DHS Janet Napolitano Announce that his Administration Plans to Give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens She said we need a “...firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here.” The fatal flaw in this is that there is no way of knowing if the alien who would apply for amnesty has been in the United States for ten years or ten days! Let us remember that the great majority of illegal aliens use false and often stolen identities. (This is why identity theft is now the fastest growing white collar crime in the US.) THE...

http://fleming.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55&sectiontree=29,55 Please read and act, only takes a minute! On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana ! Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on...

Read: “Some strange ideological impulse—rather than common sense and respect for the rule of law—is driving the Obama administration to give special treatment to the perpetrator of one of the greatest war crimes ever committed against the United States” per CNSNEWS.com’s Terence P. Jeffrey. “. . .ideological impulse. . .” Richard Morris stated the Obama motive being an “ideological” one. What these two men are saying when using the term “ideological” is Muslim. It is the theology of the Koran. It is what Allah would have Obama do.

"We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript.

Terror trials in New York Do you agree with the administration’s decision to bring five terror suspects to New York and put them on trial in federal court? Yes 29% No 71% Total Votes: 69

Connecticut Senate candidate Rob Simmons just announced on a local radio show some of the 9/11 suspects maybe tried in Connecticut. He didn't elaborate.

The health care, or "Obama care," debate is more than about seniors, and I'm about to become one. It's also about rationing, lengthy waits for care, and sometimes no care at all for ALL age groups. I'm a Hugh Hewitt fan, but he, Dick Morris and others talk almost exclusively about the effect on seniors. That, unfortunately, limits the number of people outraged by the government-run "option." The current mammogram debate is an example of how everyone will be affected. Please call and write that everyone will be affected.

I am "new" to the site. I think this is my first post. However I have been a reader for years and am a libertarian leaning Republican. I had a thought about healthcare reform that is scaring me. Although I don't think it can pass, consequences could be terrifying if it does. For purposes of sharing my nightmare, let’s assume it passes. Let’s also assume that the SCOTUS has the same five conservative members when compulsion to buy health insurance is enacted into law. It would be unprecedented for the government to mandate disposal of wealth in such a way....

It looks that way from the AP photo, but we'll need video to be sure. It looks like he made a little bow at the podium while thanking the South Koreans.U.S. President Barack Obama acknowledges South Korean military officials as he rallies U.S. troops at Osan Air Base in Osan, South Korea, Thursday, Nov. 19, 2009. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time), and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cell phones to snap pictures. "You guys make a pretty good photo op," the president said. Standing on a riser wearing a blue suit and red tie, with a cluster of troops and a large American flag behind him, Obama expressed "the gratitude of the American public" and said his meetings in four countries over eight days in Asia will help deliver a "safer more prosperous world for all of...

Sorry if this is considered to be a "duplicate post", but this is outrageous enough to have its own thread. The AP article at myway.com is titled "Thousands cheer Palin in Mich. for book tour".Essentially the same AP article is hosted at google news with the headline "Hundreds cheer Palin in Mich. for book tour".Screen shots to preserve it in case it gets mysteriously "corrected":

Judy Woodruff did a piece on Sarah Palin and her book. Among the interview participants was National Review Contributing Editor David Frum. Frum said that Palin "got into a position of leadership by sending very powerful sexual signals." It was a highly edited segment and there was no follow up or elaboration. (Segment has not yet been posted online.)

As The Boy has traipsed across the planet recently, he has acted out in body language and spoken word his admiration for Muslims wherever he went. He bent over backwards to befriend the very coalition out to destroy this Republic.

This FOX POLL needs our attention

Seen it all now! Caught a few minutes of Charlie Gibson on ABC News this evening in all his seriousness playing a clip of John Stewart's Comedy Central with Stewart asking Biden about the screw ups at his web site, Recovery.gov. Charlie didn't seem to mind that ABC News was in all seriousness using clips of a COMEDIAN and his show to give Biden's answers to the problems at recovery.gov instead of just getting THEIR OWN DANG INTERVIEW WITH BIDEN!

Results will be aired during The Fox Report with Shep Smith. Do you think the Senate health care plan will reduce the federal deficit?

WASHINGTON – The nation's top Forest Service official says national forests can store more carbon to slow global warming, but he warns that such a goal must be balanced against the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell told a Senate panel on Wednesday that his agency is trying to manage forests to combat climate change while still easing the risk of wildfires.

No link yet. Was just on Fox News. Eric Holder, in testimony before Congress, said (to paraphrase)....'We mourn the tragic deaths of our brave men and women at Ft. Hood, including Major Hasan'... UNBELIEVABLE!! We need to get that tape ASAP! STUNNING!!

Sarah Palin is having a book signing at Borders Books on Sawmill from 6:00 PM to 9:00 AM on Friday, 11-20-09.After reading about the crowds in Michigan and the need for wristbands to get a book signed, I called Borders Books in Columbus on Sawmill - here's the deal:No books signed without a wristband, and proof that the book came from Borders or Waldens.Wristbands become available Friday morning at 10:00 AM.1 wristband is good for 2 people with 1 book each.The lady advised me to come in and buy the books today, because she doesn't think they will have enough....

November 17, 2009 MURTHA CONTINUES TO UNDERMINE TROOPS By William RussellIn recent interviews defending President Obama’s slow decision making on Afghanistan, Congressman John Murtha continues to undermine our troops, embolden our enemies, and place our country in greater danger. He does this by drawing on the wrong lessons from his own experience in Vietnam, and endorsing the enemy’s propaganda.  By continually questioning the request for more troops, Mr. Obama and Mr. Murtha are signaling the possibility that America might withdraw as we did in Vietnam. But unlike Vietnam, we do not have the choice of leaving and withdrawing to our...

What with the Left's obsession with "tea-bagger" references and calling Sarah Palin a "MILF" or "TWILF," perhaps it is time for the DNC to dump the Donkey symbol and go with this symbol. They giggle uncontrollably when someone says something that they consider to be dirty. Beyond swear words and sexual innuendo, their vocabularies are very, very limited. They live in their own little world where they and only they are smart while at the same time worshiping MTV and mindless pop culture. They view everyone who does not live in their little world to be losers and worse. Beavis...

I've been recording and watching the 10 part series on WWII and I must say, it is very good. It's not all shooting and battles, instead, it conveys an incredible human perspective of the war. I'm amazed to learn how at our first two major battles we sort of abandoned our own men to their fate such as the men at Guadalcanal, absolutely facinating and terrifying at the same time. The war is told from the vantage point of 12 people (11 soldiers and 1 female nurse) and is very well done, had me choking back the tears many times....

Liberals have run off with this phrase, prostituting it per usual.. The matter is simple. It's this: America does not want a state church. England has a state church — the Anglican Church. America does not want one denomination considered The Nation's Church. On the other hand, America has a religious heritage. It's not Muslim. It's not Hindu. It's not Shinto. It's not animism. It's not New Age. It's not Paganism. It's not Voodoo. It's Judeo-Christian.

Demand Congress stop withholding taxes now by DefendUSx November 17, 2009 15:48 By: Devvy November 16, 2009 Last week the new unemployment numbers came out: 502,000 new unemployment claims. The usurper camped out in the White House gave a short speech on how to address the continuing hemorrhaging of jobs in this country: He's going to hold a "summit" next month. Isn't that clever of Obama aka Barry Soetoro? Then, he hops on his favorite toy, Air Force One, and jets out of town again to go bow to foreign governments who can collapse our economy in five minutes. What...
