  • Petition to Ban Megyn Kelly from Hosting Future Debates

    08/07/2015 5:38:03 PM PDT · by ElainaVer · 74 replies
    ​Dears News Corps., Megyn Kelly apparently finds the state of our union amusing and "fun", whereas the viewers (our fellow citizens) deserve a much more serious moderator. In addition, she had a clear agenda to attack Donald Trump, by tenaciously clinging to his past rather than his vision for the future. She focused on Trump personally, rather than politically. Ultimately, she did not not live up to the "fair and balanced" slogan at Fox News and News Corporation. While her disdain for Mr. Trump was evident, this peititon is a call for truly fair and balanced coverage of ALL candidates....

    Dump Fox. No matter if/how they try to make nice, Fox is still the tool of the GOPe. No longer to be trusted.

    Last night the debate made a few things very clear to me. First: The Fox News moderators were on one of several missions, and the first was to try and make Trump as uncomfortable as possible and try and make a point of it to the people watching the debate. The second, IMHO, was to not give or allow much time to a few of the other candidates. They seemed to want to focus on Trump, give Bush plenty of time, and to then focus on disagreements and infighting like that occurred between Christie and Paul the bulk of...

    08/06/2015 9:23:42 PM PDT · by ConservativeInPA · 22 replies
    This site is called FreeRepublic. That name has always meant something to me. First, 'free' as in freedom. Second, 'republic' as in the proper discription of our government. I found very little discussion in the debate tonight that was related to freedom and liberty. Does this bother anyone other than me?

  • After the Planned Parenthood Scandal, How Can Americans Be Better than Muslims?

    08/06/2015 8:53:53 AM PDT · by pinochet · 23 replies
    After we saw a planned parenthood official selling baby parts over a glass of wine, how can America claim to be better than the Muslim world? If you are 40 to 50 years old, the babies dying in planned parenthood clinics today, are supposed to be the tax payers paying your social security checks in 15 to 20 years time.
  • Chinese movie To Live - Banned by Communist China - Shows where we're headed

    08/05/2015 7:55:24 PM PDT · by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin · 10 replies
    This is a fascinating film. It details a very reality of life (could happen to anyone). It shows the failings of the communist system through irrational and self-serving government policy (much of what we are entering now). Also provided is a link to the movie with English subtitles. It is a highly recommended watch. 1. To Live - Movie - Click here for movie To Live. 2. Information about the movie: Click here.
  • Woodward County, Oklahoma: Why do so many here doubt climate change?

    08/04/2015 1:05:42 PM PDT · by roostercogburn · 49 replies
    Woodward, Oklahoma (CNN)I was wandering around the rolling plains of northwest Oklahoma looking for one person -- one person -- who believes in climate change science when I met the woman dressed all in yellow. A wide-brimmed, lemon-colored hat orbited her head. Her loafers were the color of butter. Everything in between was a jubilee of sunshine. Could she be the one? Please, Lord, let her be the one. I ask. She laughs. It's a sweet laugh. A knowing laugh. A yes-I-understand-everyone-out-here-thinks-climate-science-is-total-BS-but-I'm-the-one-who-gets-it laugh. Then Yellow Hat speaks. "I think it's a big fat lie."

  • The Top ten lies of the national Socialist Left – Gun Grabber LIES

    08/02/2015 5:15:21 PM PDT · by Voice of Reason1 · 15 replies
    (People control LIES) In this part we tackle the subject that is rife with abuse of the truth. Please note that while we’re trying to stay within the ‘Top Ten Format’ Gun grabber lies are stock and trade with national Socialist Left, so this may be more that 3 –4 lies. In fact, one could easily write up a top ten gun grabber lies, but that is for another time. Parts I & II explored the wonderful world of Leftist LIES in a general sense. In part I we introduced the subject and listed out many of the Leftist LIES...

    Donald Trump's presidential campaign said Sunday it fired a staffer after racially charged Facebook posts he allegedly wrote were uncovered Friday. Effective immediately, Sam Nunberg, a Trump political adviser, is "no longer associated with the Donald J. Trump for president campaign," Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski confirmed to CNN. Nunberg allegedly wrote racially charged and disparaging political posts dating back to 2007, including one calling civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton's daughter a "N—!" and another calling President Barack Obama a "Socialist Marxist Islamo Fascist Nazi Appeaser," Business Insider reported Friday. Nunberg is denying he wrote the posts. Lewandowski told...
  • "PLANNED PARENTHOOD" AND ABORTION

    Planned Parenthood is less about “women's health” than it is about providing the last ditch form of birth control for those women who fail to practice adequate contraception. Unless rape is involved, the woman is in control of what happens in these situations. The so-called “Women's Liberation Movement” has essentially given license to women to be as sexually active as many men in this degenerating culture. If you need help conceptualizing or visualizing that, think the sleazy TV production “Sex In The City”. I forced myself to watch a few episodes just to be sure what I'm about to say...

    What If Planned Parenthood Was Law-Abiding? by Daniel Clark Public outrage over the undercover videos of Planned Parenthood by the pro-life Center for Medical Progress has been driven largely by PP’s apparent admissions of illegal activities. It’s plain to see that the population control organization is involved in the illegal marketing of fetal body parts, and its senior medical director, Deborah Nucatola, basically admitted that the abortionists are still using the partial-birth procedure that has been illegal since 2003. Mary Gatter, another PP medical director, ghoulishly suggested “using a less crunchy technique to get more whole specimens,” even though it...

     Vicious Fetuses Form Group Terror Hack Against Defenseless Pro-Choicers  Fanatical anti-abortion scientists used the latest in direct mind-controlled, brain-to-brain communication to link 100,000s of dirty little vermin, white-trash, N-Word and Illegal Immigrant fetuses, then trained them to attack innocent pro-choice defenders and guarantors of a woman's sacred right to choose. Fanatical fetal cohorts operating under the handle iFetus, coordinated hack attacks against heroic Planned Parenthood and NARAL defenders, using collective psi-power under the direction of anti-choice criminals David Daleiden and Lila Rose. Our sincere and idealistic pro-choice patriots had no choice but to counter-attack against the vicious fetal forces, only...

    Like night she broke the 25 year old story about Trump's nasty divorce with his wife. Now tonight she's got on the little leftist weasel that works for the Daily Beast, basically siding with him and asking him how he felt to be humiliated and degraded by the lawyer of a presidential candidate. This witch should work for MSNBC. If I were Trump I wouldn't go anywhere near the Faux News debate if this raving lunatic is one of the moderators, which she is. By the way she's the only one starting off her program on Fox with the Donald...
  • [Vanity] Trump = End of Weak-Kneed, Apologizing GOPe?

    07/28/2015 10:40:37 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 24 replies
    I'm not sold on Trump as a candidate given his mixed political, private, and business history but I do appreciate he is leading the effort to kill off the constant crawfishing, apologizing, weak approach that most Republicans have been taking post George W. Even Huckabee followed the pattern of speaking the truth (Obama is setting up millions of Jews for death by fire - atomic if Iran gets the bomb) and not backing down. Why do they care so much what the media New York elite think of them anyway? You're REPUBLICAN. They aren't your friend. They'll never like you....
