  • Fox News Facebook Page Still Filled With Protest Over Their Debate

    08/10/2015 6:35:26 AM PDT · by ElainaVer · 47 replies
    Fox News' Facebook page is still bombarded with thousands of complaints about the debate and especially Meghan Kelly. Some are quite funny, if it weren't so serious. Here's an example of how Megyn's subsequent remarks against Trump ('If he can't handle me(Megyn), how could he handle Putin?') might have been better used against Hillary Clinton. Warning . . Crude Language! Example from Facebook/FoxNews a few minutes ago: John Taylor "Would Megyn Kelly ask questions like that to Hillary? "Miss Clinton,everyone loves you BUT how can you be a good President when your First Lady err Man cannot keep his pants...

    DOJ Report ^ | 8/9/2015 | icwhatudo
    As time passes people to seem forget the facts in this case. I read the entire DOJ report and was amazed at what the media ignored. To this day people still cite the white construction workers who said Brown had his hands up...but they leave out that these same workers also claimed 3 cops were chasing Brown and that 2 were shooting at him. For more info, I created the following. Hope you find it useful as the debate reignites about #MikeBrown PART 1: PART 2:
  • WHY HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT CONGRESS IS THE KEY?

    Vanity | 8 9 2015 | Dick Bachert
    I’ve long been amazed at this fascination with the quadrennial beauty contest known as the (cue the trumpet fanfare) “PRESIDENTIAL RACE.” The most important thing we can remember about all of this is that the Founders constructed the system to put – AND KEEP -- the KEYS TO THE FEDERAL CASH REGISTER IN CONGRESS! It is why they the CONGRESS is in Article ONE of the Constitution and the Executive in number TWO. The current Gang of 535 could bring this out-of-control government spending and the steady usurpation of our freedoms to a screeching halt tomorrow at noon -- IF...

    For those that are thinking Fiorina is a good choice to get behind, that she is a good debater, goes hard after hitlery, etc., it's incumbent on all of us to know who she REALLY is: A few tidbits: When the police in Baltimore were arrested she said 'we all breathed a sigh of relief' (all over the interwebs) In 2008, Fiorina supported the Wall Street Bailout known as TARP and even advocated that it was insufficient. (Fox News) Fiorina supported portions of the Obama stimulus, particularly broadband subsidies. ....(Information Week) Fiorina called on more government intervention into the housing...
  • Donald Trump kicks over the money changer tables in the temple in Jerusalem.

    Donald Trump kicks over the money changer tables in the temple in Jerusalem, and throws tea into Boston Harbor. Revolutions. How times have we heard that revolutions have been carried out for less than what Washington has forced on us? The organization that is nominally on our side is just as corrupt. Donald Trump is the revolution. He must go after the nearby corruption before tackling the state, just as Jesus the Jew attacked his priests before taking on Rome. Our founding fathers had to deal with colonial loyalists, while fighting the British. Revolutions are messy, difficult to watch. The...
  • A Serious Set Of Questions About Mr. Trump

    Vanity | CPE
    In this post, I'm asking a serious set of questions about Mr. Trump. I'm not doing so to put him in a bad light, nor a good one. It's really very simple. Donald Trump is an American political phenomenon. I, and others, are trying to understand why? I am not posting this to be positive or negative regarding Mr. Trump. I'm simply asking some questions that are certain to be asked later in any campaign. My intention here is not to start some pro or anti-Trump harangues, but rather to get some serious answers to some serious questions. If anyone...

    This is what Donald Trump posted on Twitter today, 8-8-15, at 8:46 a.m. Re Megyn Kelly quote" "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" (NOSE). Just got on with thought." Red State at approximately 9:30 this morning, disinvited him from the Red State Gathering this weekend. He was supposed to speak today. I supported him since he jumped into the race, but, I think Donald finally went too far. Scary, because now he will probably run as a Third Party.
  • Two Post Debate Follow-up Questions for Donald Trump Regarding His Remarks

    VANITY | 08/08/2015
    The first debate is over but many questions still remain. It is unfortunate that candidates are only given a minute to make their point and 30 seconds for any potential rebuttal. Personally, my interest in the debates is to understand a candidate's policies and what he intends to do as president. So, ignoring the gotcha questions of Megyn Kelly to Donald Trump ( i.e. War on Women crap ), here are two follow up questions I have for Trump: 1) HEALTHCARE During the first GOP debate, moderator Bret Baier said to Donald Trump, "15 years ago, you called yourself a...

    Ted Cruz responses at the 1st GOP Debate I believe, more and more, that Ted Cruz should be our next President. Although I like a lot of what Trump is saying, and I like the way he is taking on the Media and the establishment (but Cruz does the same). My concern with Trump is his disposition. In essence, it's this: Even if Trump does some things I may believe in, I believe he would not hesitate to violate the constitution to do so. It does not matter what side of the political divide you are on...if you violate...
  • The Question They Dare Not Ask

    There is one question that should be asked of every presidential candidate at a presidential debate. It is also a question no one dares ask: In 1794, as you are of course well aware, James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, was asked about the constitutionality of publicly funded charity. He responded: "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending on objects of benevolence the money of their constituents." Given Mr. Madison's remarks, it is beyond contention that the welfare state in its entirety is unconstitutional. If...

  • 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....

    August 7, 2015 | Jeff Head
    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...

    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?

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.

    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.
