Free Republic

Am I the only one who has noticed that Donald Trump stole Ronald Reagan's c campaign slogan from 1980?

You're John McCain, a fallen hero who wanted to become president so desperately that you sold yourself to Charlie Keating, the wealthy con man who bears such an incredible resemblance to The Joker. Yes this was written in 1989, but has John McCain changed that much????

It seems to me to just be dark. I want complex characters not predictably depressing. Its like Gertrude Stein said about Oakland California: there is no there there. I always value FREEPER input.

The left’s Socialist national scheme at it’s most basic level is predicated on the LIE that one can get ‘something for nothing’ for the mere pittance of sacrificing human dignity and freedom. This actuality should inform everyone that the left’s entire edifice if but a shell of Lies, deceptions, false narratives, false accusations and myths. The task of even attempting to quantify and catalog all of these interlocking lies is a daunting task. But in order to understand the enemy we face this is a task we all must endeavor to undertake. (Oh, did I refer to the left the...

Did anyone else see it. Geraldo's such a punk I wish Eric would have clocked him.

The Wednesday episode of Mr. Robot was my last...

My question: Hillary raises hundreds of millions of campaign dollars and is forced out of the election for what ever reason. Could she donate those campaign dollars to charity, namely the Clinton Foundation or some PAC controlled by her and her family?

We should never forget that it was the Democrat party that gave America this perversion called gay marriage. For about forty years the Democrats have invited the gays into the Democrats' "Rainbow Coalition". The Democrats invited them into the party and gave them a seat at the decision making table. Gays became part of the Democrat coalition. Each group in the coalition gets what it wants and the Democrats have supported the gay agenda for decades. Back in the Clinton administration, Bill Clinton tried to get homosexuals in the military. He was not able to get everything that he wanted...

Of the fifty states in the US, there’s one in particular that stands out like a sore thumb. Not for its beauty, mind you, but for other reasons. None of them positive.

I've been mulling this over for a few days ....

Is "The Donald" in for the long hall, or is he going to "Pull Out" at the last minute -- like he has done so many times before? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/16/donald-trump-us-presidential-race I don't think he has demonstrated that he is in for the long haul. Therefore I have taken the liberty to give him the handle of Trumpus Interruptus! I confess that I was excited (as was his collective base) when he announced in 2012 that he was considering a run for the republican nomination for President of the United States. I was thus willing to overlook the fact that he was...

Remember the "If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance" lie? Well, starting last week, tens of thousands of small business owners are about to get hit with $100 per day / per employee fines for helping their employees pay for their private insurance! That's $36,500 for each person they try to help! It's very simple. The government wants everyone on Obamacare... and dependent on the government. So the IRS will now levy a $100 per day, per employee fine on any employer who helps their employees pay the cost of their private healthcare insurance. 10 employees? That's...

OK, posting a couple recipes in another thread and thought, maybe there are not enough food vanities. Hey, can't please everybody but if it helps ya out, that's good enough for me.

I am just saying. REELZ is promoting the Miss America pagent, bigtime. Your loss, NBC

You know,as soon as I read the title of the article written by Andrew Sullivan I was totally steamed. They got what they wanted and now this moaning diatribe,this haranguing and fulsome whining just really crisped my toast days ago when I read this. The mountain was given to them and they now want what? I'm just so totally disgusted by the whole thing & I thought I'd share my disgust. If any conservatives had a bad week with decisions that came down from the Supreme Court on Obamacare ,sanctioned gay marriage & their little legal eagles they want, the...

Back in the olden days, when I first joined FRee Republic; when I no longer could stand to lurk anymore and had to comment, I chose afraidfortherepublic as my screen name. We were in the heart of the Clinton impeachment scandals (1998). Also the Elian Gonzalez saga. The screen name seemed appropriate. Some people thought it was too long, and they call me AFTR for short. After W was sworn in, a number of other FReepers encouraged me to change my screen name, but I declined because I still feared for the future of the Republic. Jes' sayin' that the...

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?

David Souter and John Roberts, two of the four nominees of the presidents Bush. Enough is enough! We need to use the Supreme Court to defeat Jeb! at all costs!

Sorry it reduced your competence so dramatically. A first-year law student knows that the role of the Supreme Court is to rule on the legality of a law, not to interpret what it might say. As the Chief Justice of the highest court in the land, you have irreparably damaged the legal system of the United States of America and the separation of powers between branches. The chaos that will ensue will render our our entire legal system useless, and have the potential to bring about the collapse of our entire way of life. Benjamin Franklin tells us that a...

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