Free Republic

So since Gays now have a right to get married, does that mean all churches (but strangely not mosques) are required to have their services?

From Scalia's dissent on court conducting a putsch to overthrow the country: "22 If, even as the price to be paid for a fifth vote, I ever joined an opinion for the Court that began: “The Constitution promises liberty to all within its reach, a liberty that includes certain specific rights that allow persons, within a lawful realm, to define and express their identity,” I would hide my head in a bag. The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie....

*Weapons grade sarcasm* Isn’t great that we can witness history in the making? Many times people don’t realize what is happening at the moment is historic because the are living it. We weren’t at the birth of our Constitutional Republic or at it’s major moments in becoming the greatest country on planet earth. But now we have the great honor of witnessing it’s death knell.. Of the two decision by the Extreme Court this week, the Obamacare was the most egregious because of two very ominous reasons:1. The national Socialist left can now try the ‘You have a right to...

How many DNC Govs set up failed , un needed Health Care Exchanges?

Will the latest ruling give the Insurance Companies any ability or impetus to raise premiums?

My first vanity post ever. I woke up this morning and found the Supreme Court has again ignored the clear wording of the law to uphold Obamacare. I also hear that the IRS has destroyed the backup tapes for the Lerner emails. Not a peep of concern or outrage from anyone. More and more, I think back to a "futuristic" public service announcement which ran on TV in my area (Hawaii) in the 1988 elections, showing what would happen to the country if people didn't stay engaged and vote. The future is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taPPbLWnTBc

Dear Ms. Haley: Has it dawned on you that you cannot – repeat - Cannot placate a mob of leftists bent on the destruction of freedom? That should have been obvious to you BEFORE your pandered to the masses. But alas, it should be readily apparent to you NOW. You could have simply waited a few news cycles and the whole thing would have blown over with the media chasing after yet another squirrel. This is what Communists on the Country’s left do all the time – they Stonewall (oops! Can I even use that expression any more?) delay and...

As a radically conservative defender of liberty and states’ rights, I say that there is no good biblical, historical, or strategic reason to defend a state’s flying of the Confederate battle flag today. It is rather a sign of utter hypocrisy, sentimentalism, and misguided zeal. Every Christian of every stripe ought to be calling for the removal of that profound distraction in SC—and every other state-sponsored location—in the name of Christian integrity and the advance of true Christian values and culture. I am quite cognizant of the appeal of “heritage not hate,” and I feel the power of it. It...

What do these US military bases have in common? They are all named for Confederate generals. There’s been talk for years about whether this is appropriate, and now in wake of Charleston and the South Carolina Confederate flag, it’s coming up again.

A few months ago I finished writing a book on adoption, but as a first time author I was unsure where to go from there. Knowing that several successful authors and writers are known to grace these boards I sought out help from this site. The responses were very helpful and also as a direct result I was put in contact with a publisher that ultimately accepted my work. As of yesterday that book is now available. I don't think it would have happened but for the help I received from this site. So, thank you Free Republic readers/posters very...

Since a name seems to be everything, it is about time to give a name to a third party for constitutional conservatives to rally around. The Dimwit and RINO GOP-E parties are not doing service to the consitution they swore to uphold. While we're at it, let's add a platform and principles this party should stand for.

Clinton beats just about all GOP contenders in almost every poll. And even sadder is the fact the polls suggest Bush will get the GOP nomination. See realclearpolitics.com. What this tells me is more than half of Americans don't realize or care Hillary is a flake and has never been held accountable for her massive mistakes. Furthermore it tells me the conservative nomination is going to be split and splintered in too many directions to make a difference. How is it that Conservatives and Republicans are so disgusted with the GOP leadership that they will end up putting forth another...

A friend just got a letter from the United States Office of Personnel Management indicating his personal information may have been compromised. He hasn't worked for the Federal government since about 1985. This seems to indicate they may have gotten almost everything on everyone. The letter also offers some kind of protection in case of identity theft.

The families of the victims in the church shootings just adressed the killer in court on live TV-One after the other they asked for God to have mercy on his soul-some even forgave him. It was profound. God is speaking to us through these family members . God bless and comfort them.

Once again we have witnessed the divider in chief using a ‘serious crisis’ to pit people against each other instead of trying to bring them together. ‘President’ Obama could have reacted to the recent events by not slyly mentioning how he plans on using it once again to incrementally destroying liberty. Rather than uniting the country and healing it’s wounds, we had the ‘President’ using mass murder as just another opportunity to score political points for his socialist national agenda. This why ‘President’ Obama will be considered THE WORST, bar none. Compare this ‘President’ to those of the past who...

Liberals up to and including the president are already using the tragedy at the SC church to try to advance gun control, so it begs the question, what gun control law would have prevented the tragedy? Assault weapon bans are a favorite of anti gunners basically because they are scary looking and have large magazines. Yet reports say Roof reloaded up to 5 times. Clearly a new AWB would not have prevented the massacre. What about universal registration? The answer is simple, it wouldn't. Universal registration is only valuable to the police to track the last person who bought the...

Here we go. The perfect incident just took place last night for creating chaos, conflict, and division when Dylann Storm Root decided to channel his inner Satan to slaughter innocent people praying at a church. Unlike the predecessors in the Soviet Union, China, and various fascist regimes during the past century, our leftists usually don't concoct phony incidents to propel their agenda. They wait, patiently, sometimes for years, waiting for an incident which can be used to promote their agenda. The agenda right now is fundamental transformation, and transformation is a revolutionary action that requires angry, focused masses gathered to...

Here they come looking for 'mo money. Just great! Barry ties up traffic today and Thunderthighs ties it up tomorrow. So glad I don't have to drive anywhere near the pair of idiots. Good luck to all you liberals on the west side getting around town. Just think green you dummies!

I am of Viking ancestry. In my part of the World, things like fighting spirit, balls and an appetite for destuction matter much. We also dispose of some decent brain power. Bohr and Nobel both were Scandinavians. My tiny Sweden is furthermore the only nation that successfully has took Moscow (- in 1610 Swedish field marshal De la Gardie entered Moscow and was cheered by large crowds. Everyone knows Swedish rule equals law and order. We might be a boring bunch, but we wholeheartedly hate chaos, injustice, disorder and crime. Leave it to us, we'll fix it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1w7e46pHuc
