Free Republic

Castle sucks, but a vote for O'Donnell is an implicit vote for a self-admitted marxist in the general. Christine O'Donnell is not Marco Rubio or Joe Miller. Who are these weak candidates winning in purple or blue states? We're sweating bullets with Angle in Nevada of all places against the biggest dirtbag in the Senate. If you thought conservative groups have been unfair to O'Donnell and she wins tuesday night, the DSCC is going to turn on her like the Eye of Mordor. I want them to have to worry about which seats to try and defend, while we eviscerate...

It’s no secret that momentum is building in favor of the Republican Party, yet it is mainly due to anti-incumbent (i.e. anti-Democrat) sentiment. After all, the incumbents, which are mostly Democrats, have controlled and managed most of the workings of the Federal Government now for almost four years. Yet, I believe that the damage inflicted on this country would not have been as bad if we had simply knew what both political parties actually represented and stood for. At any rate…. The Republican Revolt of 2006 and 2008: The election of 2006 was the last time we had both a...

President Obama told a small crowd in Fairfax, Va., on Monday that he would stand in the hot sun with them and “feel their pain.” He was meeting with a Fairfax family for a backyard discussion on the economy in an effort to improve voter perceptions about his empathy with ordinary people. Unlike former President Clinton, who famously felt the pain of voters during a recession, Obama has not connected emotionally with voters over their worries and fears. Voters two years ago appreciated Obama’s cool, professorial demeanor; it earned him praise, as in “No drama Obama,” and drew favorable contrasts...

So many educated people are afflicted by the equivalent of a blank stare where genuine thought should exist. It’s as if they’re sleepwalkers, oblivious to reality, or under plexiglass, where they can’t hear anything with which they don’t already agree. Here’s a case in point. A woman who identifies herself as a professor at a Chicago university (it’s Northeastern Illinois) publishes this touching note in the New York (Muslim) Times today. Gail Dreyfuss describes an “encounter” she had with a student who was wearing both hijab (a headscarf) and a pin which read “I am a Muslim.” I guess the...

How does a city lose 2,500 feet of tunnels under its streets? North Miami Beach would like to know. Over a four-year period, the city contracted with a construction company to build 254 manholes -- the tunnels that run down from street level to utility pipes 8 to 10 feet below.

Well it may not endear him to any of the top powers-that-be, but New Hampshire congressional candidate Bob Giuda says he'd be willing to look at eliminating America's central bank under certain circumstances.

Seventeenth century philosopher Thomas Hobbes said that words are wise men's counters, but they are the money of fools. That is as painfully true today as it was four centuries ago. Using words as vehicles to try to convey your meaning is very different from taking words so literally that the words use you and confuse you. Take the simple phrase "rent control." If you take these words literally-- as if they were money in the bank-- you get a complete distortion of reality. New York is the city with the oldest and strongest rent control laws in the nation....

Washington (CNN) - Republican Brian Murphy is heading into Tuesday's GOP gubernatorial primary in Maryland with a last minute robocall from conservative star Sarah Palin. Just hours earlier, Sen. John McCain – Palin's former presidential running mate – had announced his support for Murphy's primary opponent, former Gov. Robert Ehrlich in an interview with the AP, saying Ehrlich is "a fine guy."

President Obama heads to Philadelphia on Tuesday for his second "Back to School" speech, but unlike last year, this year's speech is garnering little to no national attention, instead living on the back pages of newspapers or failing to get any mentions in most media circles or leading opposition groups.

KANSAS CITY, MO - Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin made a stop in Kansas City on Monday to speak at a benefit where she shared her experiences as an expectant mother as she helped raise money for a pro-life organization. A crowd of 1,500 gathered to raise funds at the annual dinner for the Vitae Foundation, a pro-life organization. She says that the issue of abortion is one that makes the country seem upside-down. "My daughter can't get her ears pierced without parental consent, but she can get an abortion," said Palin, who then said that changing the laws...

At the St. Louis 9/12 tea party rally yesterday, a man holding a sign with Obama next to Hilter is politely asked to remove that part of his sign, after a few minutes of debate, and going back and forth the man agrees removes the picture (Video)

This is the original news report from SPRINGFIELD, Effingham County in Georgia, next to the entrance of I-95 to Florida. Effingham deputies call feds after arresting Russians with shovel, wire cutters outside Georgia Power plant by Evgeniy Luzhetskiy SPRINGFIELD — Effingham County sheriff deputies have reported the early Sunday morning arrest of three men to the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force.

This is a new TV spot from Walt Rogers, the Republican candidate for Iowa House District 20 in Black Hawk County. Linked to from The Bean Walker - Iowa's version of the Drudge Report.

A San Francisco Superior Court judge today issued a tentative ruling denying a request to block the state from implementing the top two primary system created under Proposition 14. A group of candidates and voters have filed a suit challenging the constitutionality of Senate Bill 6, legislation detailing the mechanics of the state's new "top two" primary. Under Proposition 14, approved by voters in the June primary, the two candidates who receive the most votes in an all-party primary will advance to a general election run-off.

I saw snippets of this on Fox tonight. It is incredible. It is over an hour long. Obama (I usually call him Hussein but this is an incredible piece of video. Obama lecturing about 30 white people he is using as props. If he thinks this will help him, he's got some severe problems.

After Rafael Nadal waited out three rain delays totaling almost 2 ½ hours to win his first Wimbledon title two years ago in a match for the ages against Roger Federer, one stoppage of less than two hours Monday at the U.S. Open couldn’t dampen his pursuit of history. Neither rain, nor thunder and lightning, nor Novak Djokovic taking the first set against him all tournament kept the 24-year-old Spaniard from his appointed round with that history as he completed a career Grand Slam with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 victory over the third-seeded Serb. He became only the seventh...

I couldn't make myself stay for the entire Glenn Beck rally held on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. But I did hang around long enough to get a sense of the occasion. Beck wants to "reclaim honor." He wants to "restore God," along the lines of the Founding Fathers' convictions. (He didn't mention that Thomas Jefferson was a deist.) Beck gave Sarah Palin a spot. Her presence signified evangelical Christianity, and her soldier son lent credibility. My major impression of the Beck rally, however, was not its content, but the huge number of...
