Free Republic

President Obama, Wednesday night, at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus gala: "Now, the Senate is going to have a chance to do the right thing over the next few weeks when Senator Reid brings the DREAM Act to the floor. (Applause.) Keep in mind, in the past, this was a bill that was supported by a majority of Democrats and Republicans. There's no reason why it shouldn't receive that same kind of bipartisan support today. I've been a supporter since I was in the Senate, and I will do whatever it takes to support the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' efforts to pass...

SI was established in 1953 to convey to successive generations of college youth an appreciation for the values and institutions that sustain a free and virtuous society. In two articles appearing in the early 1950s, ISI's founder Frank Chodorov outlined "a fifty-year project" to reform the university and society in favor of freedom. Chodorov chose a celebrated Yale University graduate, William F. Buckley Jr., to be ISI's first president. With the success of God and Man at Yale and the founding of the National Review soon after, Buckley later relinquished the position of president to Chodorov himself.

Christine O’Donnell’s stunning primary election continues to turn the world upside. Not only has it brought about some fascinating dissension amongst the notoriously disciplined GOP ranks, but it also seems to have led MSNBC’s Chris Matthews to a rather stunning epiphany about the Tea Party movement. On tonight’s Hardball, Matthews said “I have waited all my life for voters to have the fire to reach up and burn those, but I didn’t know it would come from the right and center.” Next up: dogs and cats, living together! A full and rough transcript of the Matthew’s comment follows the video...

I watched her on Hannity tonight, I'm so glad I donated to her, she was very well spoken and right on target as far as I am concerned. http://christine2010.com/

Not an insane argument, actually, although it feels insane given Palin’s and DeMint’s big triumph. Much depends on two things, i.e. whether O’Donnell beats Coons in November and whether the GOP takes back both houses of Congress. If she loses, the Mitt brigades will point to it as proof that DeMint conservatives are too risky to gamble on in 2012, that the tea party’s moment has passed and its alleged dominance is overblown, etc. If the GOP wins a majority, Obama and the Dems will blame the tea-party caucus for gridlock, overreach, and so forth, which may or may not...

An article Democrat Chris Coons wrote for his college newspaper may not go over so well in corporation-friendly Delaware, where he already faces an uphill battle for Vice President Joe Biden’s old Senate seat. The title? “Chris Coons: The Making of a Bearded Marxist.” In the article, Coons, then 21 years old and about to graduate from Amherst College, chronicled his transformation from a sheltered, conservative-minded college student who had worked for former GOP Delaware Sen. William Roth and had campaigned for Ronald Reagan in 1980 into a cynical young adult who was distrustful of American power and willing to...

We should not be overly excited or deceived by any conservative-moderate victories in 2010, however exciting as they might be. The true heart of the American people has NOT CHANGED for the better. It still is what it has always been over these last 50 years or so: licentious and haughty. Even now many conservatives have been subtly intoxicated and tainted by socialism, godlessness and the immoral practices of the Left (Jer. 6:16-17; Matt. 15:8, 18-20). For example, consider the Republican administration and congress of the last 8 years. Except for a core of faithful true conservatives (fiscal and moral),...

WASHINGTON – More Democrats joined Republicans on Wednesday in calling for the preservation of tax breaks for Americans of every income level, bolting this election season from President Barack Obama's plan to preserve cuts for families who earn less than $250,000 and let taxes rise for the wealthiest Americans. But Obama placed the blame for the stalled proposal squarely on Republicans. "They want to hold these middle class tax cuts hostage until they get an additional tax cut for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans," the president said in afternoon remarks. "Doesn't it make sense for us to move forward...

CLARION, Pa. – James Winner, who marketed the steering-wheel lock known as The Club after his car was stolen in the 1980s, has died in a head-on collision in western Pennsylvania. He was 81. Two other people also died when Winner's sport utility vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic Tuesday "for unknown reasons" and collided with their car, State Police said. The investigation continued. Winner sold the first Club in western Pennsylvania before creating Winner International, the Sharon-based company that has now sold more than 10 million units. The device prevents car thieves from driving away — and its visibility can...

Good afternoon. I think I recognize some of you from last night’s party. What a party! And what a campaign this has been. This has been a classic New Hampshire campaign, one for the ages that we’ll be talking about for a long time to come. I believe that in our American Republic, the people are the sovereign – they are the king -- and government is their subject. Well, the people of NH have spoken and they have ruled. While I am disappointed with the result, I humbly accept their verdict and I would ask you to join me...

With the remarkable, come-from-behind victory of Christine O’Donnell in Delaware, defeating Michael “More of the Same” Castle, we are seeing stories that the prospects for a Republican takeover of the House are now in serious danger. Hogwash! Currently, there is an element out there in the Republican Party that no longer speaks for me. These people do not share my interests; they do not represent my values. Moreover, this element absolutely hates the millions of fine, patriotic, law-abiding American citizens who make up the Tea Party.

Fed up President Barack Obama took off his wedding ring during a furious fight with his wife over her lavish spending - and his marriage has now reached a crisis point, White House insiders reveal. In a blockbuster exclusive, sources reveal the shocking problems in the Obama marriage - and why First Lady Michelle is breaking the Commander-in-Chief's heart by refusing to have another baby. It's must reading!

I met a fairy today that would grant me one wish. "I want to live forever," I said. "Sorry" said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!" "Fine," I said, "I want to die after the Democrats get their heads out of their asses!" "You crafty bastard," said the fairy.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration on Wednesday signaled a new get-tough approach with China, filing two trade cases against the country before the World Trade Organization and also complaining that Beijing is moving too slowly to reform its currency system.

Stuck on … 1993 By: Larry Walker, Jr. We have taken time out of our busy lives this month to focus on the income tax debate. We have touched upon static versus dynamic revenue analysis, the present value of money, and the history of income taxes. Today, I will address something that's been on my mind since the summer of 2008. The question of the day: How did Obama arrive at the idea that an income of $250,000 per year is rich? Here’s the famous video clip: But where did the amount come from? Either he pulled it out of...

Continuing the rant on O'Donnell

ABC quoted me as saying that there is no question that many of the teenagers who would get an amnesty through the DREAM Act make for "compelling" cases. But I'm also quoted saying that this DREAM amnesty should not be passed. If the DREAM Act were actually limited to the PR rhetoric that comes out of the pro-amnesty organizations, there might be reason for a debate. If you barely paid attention, you would think this amnesty is just about illegal aliens who are high school valedictorians. If you pay a little more attention you would know it is larger than...
