Free Republic

Bernie Sanders offers a real solution that the current condidates wont have. Bernie Sanders would first of all return tax levels to the way they were in the 1950s, tax the rich 90% and use the massive massive massive surplus from that tax to create jobs for the unemployed. One trillion should be paid for rebuilding infrastructure and bridges and creating jobs. Another trillion will be used to create new healthcare opertunety for workers to earn doctors degrees and to heal the sick and poor. Bernie sanders will also create government funded industries and factories that will create paying jobs...

<p>I want every talk radio host, rightwing pundit and Republican voter who thinks for one second that Ron Paul is an actual conservative to watch this video, digest it and understand what a joke this guy really is.</p> <p>Ron Paul is the only real nutbase in this GOP primary.</p>

OK, this is not a flame thread. I'm genuinely curious why conservatives think Communism is so evil. I am a Communist. I am also a God-fearing Christian, a tax-paying and loyal American, and a generally nice guy. Communism was perverted by third world despots and was never implemented fully in its true form. Communism is about cooperation and good will. And it's important to note that economic success and cooperation are not mutally exclusive. In fact, I would argue greater cooperation among individuals leads to more prosperity and more overall happiness.

<p>Those 8 yr old kids who first bought Harry Potter are now of voting age. Is this a good thing considering that the leading Republican running used to be a witch?</p>

Let Me Push Certain Individuals Buttons Fox News will air a Oliver North special on Special Ops, probably because of the Osama bin Laden operation in Pakistan. Part of the program will cover the U.S. DEA in Afghanistan and a mission to go after the Opium drug profits used by the Taliban. The Poppy Fields of Afghanistan supply the raw materials used to make Opium. How ironic. Oliver North is one of the principals involved in Drug Running during the Iran / Contra operations in Central America. The profits from those drugs illegally funded the weapons smuggling for that war...

Diane Feinstein (Chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee) was interviewed by John King. If you want to witness an exposition of deceit and ignorance watch that interview. Her claim that there were guns near the doorway and Bin Laden was shot because he may have gone for them is nothing but a lie. She went on to claim great care was taken to avoid collateral damage is absolutely ludicrous. No guns were found in that compound, the sad fact is we killed four unarmed people, wounded a woman, and shot Bin Laden in his pajamas (possibly still in bed). God...

<p>Fellow Freepers, which sort of conservative described in this list are you?</p>

It has been said by a president that america would only be defeated from within but I cant remember his name. The Bible I read says let GOD be true and every man a liar sometimes we as human, homosapien, or what ever you call yourself, because some people say they come from pluto when you ask them about GOD or when you invite them to come to church. Im gonna tell you a little about myself I go to church a lot im not religious im a spiritual man. The bible tells us GOD is a spirit and where...

After reading numerous ‘Statements on the Death of George Tiller’ from high profile pro-life leaders which said ‘we must strongly condemn such senseless acts of violence’, ‘killing is never the answer’, and ‘anyone who is truly pro-life will be saddened by Dr. Tiller’s death’ I had to ask myself one question. If a doctor went mad and began a murderous rampage killing infants in a hospital maternity ward and a good citizen stopped him with deadly force would people condemn that concerned citizen as a murderer and call his actions a senseless act of violence? That would be unthinkable. He...

Here it is folks, the Ashley Biden cocaine snorting video you've all been waiting for.

Early this month, Michael Steele said that Rush Limbaugh was "an entertainer" and that his comments were usually "incendiary" and "ugly" on the Hughley Show. As a Republican politician is expected to, he must convince people and compromise on ideas when necessary. Michael Steele was right to emphasize that he is the Republican Party leader not Rush Limbaugh. Later however, he apologized to Rush Limbaugh about those comments, confirming Hughley's fear that Rush Limbaugh was the "De facto leader" of the Republicans. I don't believe that Steele should have apologized, Rush is not the leader of this party, he's just...

Now Ms. Meghan McCain is anything but a young Britney Spears type "air head" celebrity. She is a 24 year old, 2007 graduate of Columbia University. She has already written regularly for Newsweek Magazine and has been an active political blogger since her father, Senator John McCain, began running for his party´s 2008 nomination. She admits that she has only been a "real Republican for less than a year," and she is anything but a die-hard GOP conservative. She is a "moderate" that currently supports gay marriage, stem-cell research and in 2004, she voted for the Democrat, John Kerry. What...

Keep up with your nasty and hateful comments. Hateful and ignorant peepole you are. I am ashamed to be an American. Youre greed is so evident and, well, screw you hateful peepole!

As I was so rudely banned from the last post I made, let me respond here. I am not a troll, I am a conservative who has not posted on this site for a while for a reason. The conservative movement has lost its way... So here's the deal, and YOU ALL KNOW THAT RUSH HAS MADE AN IDIOT OF HIMSElF... do you guys honestly think there is one single American who has seen this episode between Limbaugh and Steele, and thought "I should vote Republican/I should be a conservative/I should oppose Obama's socialism"??? Absolutely not. Obama is a talented...

I recently ordered a gun (long rifle). Went down to pick it up today and was turned down. Puzzled - I purchased a new hand gun in December 08. Any thoughts??

Here is some 'background' information on the ten men who went to lunch. The tenth man was wealthier than the other 9 men put together. In fact, if you change the story a little bit and so that there were 100 men going to dinner, the 100th man would be wealthier than the first 80 men combined. And to extend the story a bit...after the 100th man became embarrassed because he got the most money back although he already had more than nearly everyone else combined, he quit coming to the diner to eat his dinner. Instead, he began to...

It's often said that America was founded on "Judeo-Christian" values.
