Free Republic

Memorial Day, 2013. The year is 2013. 337 years after we declared our independence from the reigning monarchy of Great Britain. What are we memorializing this government-sanctioned three day weekend, which was precisely at one time, May 30th, the actual date? Are we memorializing our war dead, specifically those Unknown Soldiers, who died defending what today might be looked upon by many, as our 'lost rights'? Are we memorializing those that died, who believed that America, in their time on Earth, was 'the land of the free, and the home of the brave'? Or, are we, now, memorializing car purchase...

I posted the Politico story a couple days ago about here how Sharyl Attkisson has had strange computer problems ever since she started reporting things unfriendly to the Obamunist regime. That started more than one response from people here who had experienced bizarre behavior from the goverment of a repressive nature. For instance, one commenter noted: Welcome to the world of the “birthers”, Sharyl. All the corrupt tactics we “birthers” were ridiculed for mentioning because it was too “conspiratorial” are now wide out in the open. What still remains hidden to the public is what these tactics are supposed to...

Since the Reno Gazette Journal can't be linked, here is a short blip from today concerning Nevada and Universal Background Checks. A bill mandating background checks almost every time a gun changes hands has cleared the Nevada Senate. After a lengthy debate Wednesday, senators voted 11-10 along party lines advancing SB221. It now heads to the Assembly. Several Democrats say the bill is the start of better gun policies in the Silver State. In an effort to eliminate any cost to the state, the bill was changed to funnel background checks on all private sales directly to the National Instant...

Ok, the Fort Hood massacre was dubbed "workplace violence" and thus the families affected by said "violence" won't be fully compensated because the massacre wasn't called an act of terrorism? Check? We can't prosecute the Benghazi attackers because it has been said that we don't have enough evidence to try them in civilian court? Check? Lastly, these 4 Americans who were supposedly killed by drones (according to Holder) were killed without due process? Check? Seinfeld, meet Bizarro World?

Looking at the morning news shows, I see stories about a Liberace impersonator, roaches in an apartment, a kayak rescue in Washington state, and tornado relief in Oklahoma. NOTHING I have seen speaks to the destruction of God given freedoms by the Obama administration. All four tv stations worked overtime to destroy the Bush administration from 2001 to 2008.

Hi, I'm not the most devout of folks out thee, but am a believer and do believe God answers prayer. Several verses have become popular over past years because of the hope they evoked...remember the Prayer of Jabez and 2Chron 7:14 with Promisekeepers? Well, I have been praying for another promise to be seen in our time, that of Job 5:12. I read it and wrote it down and pray it every day...it sure reads like a promise. Any believers out there let's see if we can get it to catch on in this really troubled time in our nation's...

Not that I go there much, but: Anyone else see that the IRS and Benghazi and AP scandal stories are always absent from Google News headlines? More "backward watchdog" press behavior--the Google News dog protecting its elite masters from potentially meddlesome little people.

God's word in your mouth is your salvation. His word in your mouth and spoken out properly will produce your salvation. The word says the word of God is powerful(Hebrews 4:12), but for it to be powerful on your behalf it has to come out of your mouth. Romans 1:16 says, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Notice, it's the power of God unto salvation. That word salvation is translated heal, preserve, save, make...

Seems she's pulled a Houdini since her infamous "what difference does it make?" Seriously, any ideas on her whereabouts and/or why we've not heard/seen her in some time?

Iss is not in any position to take lead in the investigation of the many Obama crimes. He had a GREAT opportunity and he blew it . He should have kep her and had every one ask her questions as she rattled off ," I plead the fifth."

If I live in a place that has 3 EF4-5 tornadoes in the last 15 years, it is my responsibility to make sure me and my family, including my school aged children, are safe. The government has no place in mandating a free citizen our business. Don't tell me what kind of shelter I must have. This CNN whore was grilling Coburn about the government mandate as if it was government's responsibility to protect us from weather. No, if your public school has no shelter and you believe you require it, either raise money or school your own kids at...

Rush just said that Lerner will be called back; that she waived her right to invoke the 5th!! Gowdy was right!

I walked out of my Dr's office today without getting my physical. My Dr for the past 13 years closed his private office and joined the behemoth, Baptist Health System. Before my physical, I had to fill out a bunch of new forms... One of them said, "You acknowledge agreement with our Privacy Policy".. I hadn't been given the Privacy Policy... so, I asked for it. Wow. So many things in it that are awful.. for starters, they say right up front, they reserve the right to CHANGE their policy at any time, without notifying anyone, and all information they...

The classic History Channel documentary series. This episode: Japanese Guns of WWII.

Heard about the IRS protests to happen and found the closest IRS offices in Dallas. Fortunately also found out that wasn't the best part of town so we decided to go a little further to Senator John Cornyn's office. When we arrived there were a few people & an American flag so we knew we were in the right place. Parking was easy and in moments we were on the sidewalk.

I do not understand why she was not made to answer every question. And why has Congress not subpoenaed her computer (home and office)?

Okay I'm sick of it and as we all know FR is the best place in the world for good information so this is the deal. My IE keeps getting these "popup" kinda things from some outfit called "cloudfront". Best I can tell is they're some kind of 3rd party distribution front for certain software packages like flash player and java that bug the ^$%#@ out of you to install this or that. If I want up upgrade my java, or flash player, or anything else I'll do it myself.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.(Genesis 1:1)This simple sentence, given to us as a Revelation from God through Moses, has launched hundreds of thousands of books, papers, sermons, and essays, and has underpinned our entire civilization. It is a theological statement, but it has also led to our modern concept of science, technology, philosophy, and our western epistemology (concept of truth). Thus the departure from Genesis 1:1 and all that follows it, has been the deepest and perhaps least appreciated reason for our current civilizational decline and pending collapse. Here in these spare words, selected by...

Is it me or is he sweating profusely?

For weeks Obama has made the "claim" that no one 'Told' him or spoke with him about the three major scandals surrounding Obama's Team the past few weeks in 2013, Electronic communication including blackberry, IMs, Emails etc have accounted for 90% of when someone might be TOLD the MSM editors allow OBAMA to fade the word spoke or told without explaining what these words mean...its similar to Clintons "what is is " ? Obama is using words to skirt awareness and he needs to held to questions about IMs and Blackberry...how does valarie jarret communicate with him, how does white...

I immediately though of this movie about the E. German Stasi when these scandals broke a week or so ago, The Lives of Others. Has anyone seen it? Do you agree? http://youtu.be/KOdn9Yelxwo

Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky born January 17, 1937, is a former Democrat congressman. As a Democrat, he represented Iowa 's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977. He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon. He and the Clinton's were very politically intertwined for years. In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. He was sentenced to 80 months in (Federal) prison. Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million...

Watching my beloved America sink into the mire of tyranny under the most cynical and corrupt leaders, with all of our traditional founding principals forgotten or trampled on, as our politicians and academics continue their War on our Constitution and core American values, I find this commercial to be particularly insulting. Am I the only one? Am I over reacting? Or is it OK to watch all of our nation's values and icons mocked to sell hot dogs? I'm just asking. 50 years ago, in the America I grew up in, perhaps this commercial would have been OK. Maybe cute,...

Rush is talking about this May 10th USA today article that says the # of tornadoes the last 12 months is the lowest since 1950. Google it.

Ted Cruz was born "Rafael Edward Cruz" December 22, 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His mother is US citizen Eleanor Darragh. His father is Cuban citizen Rafael B. Cruz. (naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2005) Eleanor Darragh and Rafael B. Cruz were residents of Canada for at least four years from 1970, possibly earlier, until 1974. They conducted business there as Rafael B. Cruz and Associates, Ltd. Where they "permanent residents"? Is Ted Cruz a "natural born citizen" of Canada? Revised Statutes of Canada 1970:

...can anyone(more "Seasoned" Citizens) tell me what brand(s) of Hot Dogs were sold @ both the New York Polo Ground(NY Giants) and Ebbets Field(Brooklyn Dodgers) AND can they still be obtained?

This is my first post. Has anyone else noticed that the white house website still hasn't posted all of last weeks briefings? This has been going on for about two or three weeks. Any ideas?

So an interesting little note here. But hours before the storms rolled into Oklahoma, most cell phone service across the state, and specifically in Northeast Oklahoma was cut. No one could make any calls. Texting worked but no calls. Why would this happen BEFORE the storms? I know the government has the ability to turn the service off I am sure. Was this some sort of test to see if they could turn it off.. and during an emergency it was convenient?? So not as many people notice/blamed it on the storms.

For decades visitors to the D-Day beaches on the northwest coast of France have looked out at the English Channel, taking in the journey made by Allied troops that marked a turning point in the Second World War. The view from some of those sites — including Juno Beach where 359 Canadians died — could soon change if a plan succeeds to build an army of wind turbines some 10 kilometres offshore. Canadians now have a chance to voice their opinions on that plan as a French commission holds public consultations on the project. The body has made it a...

Anyone in Waco see the mean looking storm heading right for Waco?

If everyone is put under oath one by one out of the site of cameras while being isolated, someone is going to spill the beans. All you have to do is say the other guy already talked. These libs aren't professional liars, evidence what we have seen so far. There is no reason that these scandals can't be traced to the white house.

WHEN is a Jew not a Jew? When he’s a Karaite. Or so says Israel’s chief rabbinate, which, after 65 years of relative harmony with an ancient Jewish sect, is reopening an old and bitter schism. In recent months, rabbis working for Israel’s ministry of religion have deemed Karaite marriages invalid, fined their butchers for claiming to be kosher, and demanded that Karaites marrying Orthodox Jewish women should convert, sometimes having to undergo tavila, or baptism. “We are already Jews,” protests Moshe Firrouz, a computer engineer who heads the Karaites’ Council of Sages. “The rabbinate is denying us our religious...

I cannot say his name but if you like Van Holland and Martin O'Malley he's the right guy for Virginia.

Just wondering. It ought to be something. What did Rahm Emmanuel say?

If the GOP doesn't go after, fight and win these battles with bama, they are going to lose all their donors. It was clear by a call to Rush that donations will dry up if the GOP doesn't shut down the criminal enterprise known as obama...... But do they realize how serious this is

What if this is all happening according to plan? I don't mean that Obama planned Benghazi to happen the way it did or planned the timing of the IG report on the IRS...but that he knew his scandalous behavior and actions would eventually see the light of day...and that's OK by him.And why would that be OK by him...what would this accomplish?First, when/if it is discovered that he is insulated from culpability for these scandals, it will demonstrate to those who are afraid of his tyranny that they are right to be afraid. He is giving us (the patriots) the...

AF1 is getting fired up. Add another devastating, crushing event to the list that saves Obama. Hurricane Sandy, Sandy Hook, Jodi Arias verdict during Benghazi hearing, etc....now the Oklahoma devastation.

Why hasn't a tornado buster missile or bomb been developed or at least tried? I realize that tornadoes are large and quick moving, but if there's enough time to prepare for one there should be enough time to attempt to stop one. Could a shock wave or some sort of electrical pulse wave from a strategically placed missile/bomb launched from a fighter jet stop a tornado, or perhaps disrupt its balance successfully enough to stop it's devastation on the ground?

Here we have Oklahoma City and it's suburbs in ruins. Not a peep from the Pres or FEMA. Who is minding the store in D.C. Apparently No One.

As I have been reading the details of the IRS dealing with the Tea Parties I am remined of Article 58 (RSFSR Penal Code) ans substituted anti-Obama for counter revolutionary. 58-1: Definition of anti-Obama activity: "A anti-Obama action is any action aimed at overthrowing, undermining or weakening of the power of workers' and peasants' Soviets... and governments of the USSA and DemocRATs and autonomous republics, or at the undermining or weakening of the external security of the USSA and main economical, political and national achievements of the proletarial revolution" 58-1а.

NO LINK ON THEIR WEBSITE YET,

Why the "I Am A Black Man" speech by the president ? Was it a simple invocation to young Black graduates or the president circling the wagons and rallying his troops? It was disguised as a Brother Souljah moment when the occupant of the White House gave a speech at Morehouse College last weekend telling young Black men to live a responsible life and stop making bad choices. He spoke about the "special obligation" he feels as a Black man to help those left behind. The president praised Martin Luther King and spoke of how the civil rights movement cleared...

The devastation is incredible. The Weather Channel is carrying local news from a helicopter. i can only pray the kids had been released before then.

Fantastic Historic Civic Action May 21 If you deem this worthy – spread the words We are On the March for real. Look at all the stuff we are achieving – there are too many action items to mention here but we know there are many – such a rewarding feeling.

We are making a DEMAND for a vote and have at least 300,000 signatures to back it up. We have put them...
