Making progress!!

Still lagging a bit behind the pace from last quarter, but we're getting there. Please keep those donations coming in, folks, so we can end this thing soon. If we can raise a minimum of 10% per week, we can be done within the next three weeks!!

We can do this!!

FR is funded solely by contributions made by like-minded liberty loving patriots who enjoy and use it and think it's a worthwhile endeavor to support.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the defense Liberty.

Free Republic stands for God and Country!! We defend Life, Family, Constitution, Liberty!! And we defend our God-given, constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms!! TO THE HILT!!

We are beholden to no political party, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no advertisers, no corporate string pullers. We do not depend on government grants or tax payer subsidies. It's just us, baby, and we need each other. Now more than ever!!

But we cannot do it without your continuing support.

If you have not yet made your donation this quarter, today would be an excellent day to do so.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the leading INDEPENDENT pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-gun, pro-borders grassroots conservative forum on the Net!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists, fascists, progressives, collectivists and assorted totalitarians of every stripe who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given Liberty!!

The only thing standing between us and totalitarian domination is our constitution... and our guns!! Never, ever give up your guns!!

"Freedom is never more than one generation from extinction." --Ronald Reagan

Our generation will not be the one that sees freedom extinguished in America.

NOT ON MY WATCH!!

Never surrender!! Never retreat!! Never give up your guns!!

"Justice Blackmun begins his statement [declaring Blackmun's opposition to capital punishment] by describing with poignancy the death of a convicted murderer by lethal injection.
He chooses, as the case in which to make that statement, one of the less brutal of the murders that regularly come before us, the murder of a man ripped by a bullet suddenly and unexpectedly, with no opportunity to prepare himself and his affairs, and left to bleed to death on the floor of a tavern.
The death-by-injection which Justice Blackmun describes looks pretty desirable next to that. It looks even better next to some of the other cases currently before us, which Justice Blackmun did not select as the vehicle for his announcement that the death penalty is always unconstitutional, for example, the case of the 11-year-old girl raped by four men and then killed by stuffing her panties down her throat.
See McCollum v. North Carolina. How enviable a quiet death by lethal injection compared with that!

Callins v. Collins 510 U.S. 1141 (1994) (Scalia, J., concurring in denial of cert).

Hi, Cajun! :)

" There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution.

But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism — government.

Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become. And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it. When dictators come to power, the first thing they do is take away the people's weapons. It makes it so much easier for the secret police to operate, it makes it so much easier to force the will of the ruler upon the ruled."

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles.
It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt.
If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."

~Thomas Jefferson, June 1798

"I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself.
But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?
Well, do ya, punk?"

Are you kidding? Do you think that Jim would rather spend time in the waiting room of a doctor's office than spend time with us?

Now that I think about it...

[DJ MacWoW]

Btw, that hairworm that I posted about is asexual, parasitic and from Kenya. I can see why it was named “Obama”.

[Jim Robinson]

Nope. They just called me in. Sitting in the examining room now, waiting for the doc, :-)
