In the political paraphernalia department, "Yes, we can" is becoming "No, he can't." Anti-Obama memorabilia - from T-shirts to bumper stickers to buttons - is increasingly emerging in the marketplace as the president's economic and health care policies polarize supporters and detractors. While "Mama for Obama" was a popular slogan during the 2008 election cycle, that design has been retooled with angry and fickle disenchantment: "To the Mama for Obama - thanks for the tax hike." The "Audacity of Hope," the title of Mr. Obama's popular book, has been replaced by the "Audacity of Hype." "It really started peaking about...

(IsraelNN.com) For the first time in years, the nationalist camp will hold a large scale rally against United States policies vis-à-vis Israel. The protest will be held in downtown Jerusalem, on Agron St. on Monday evening, and is being organized by the Residents Committees of Binyamin and Samaria, as well as the nationalist umbrella organization Mateh Maamatz, the Yesha Council of Jewish Communities, and Komemiyut.

It is the goal of this blog to be an oasis in the hostile wilderness of disinformation, discrimination, and dishonesty that the mainstream media, including mainstream blogs and other new media outlets, have become. We are part of a burgeoning group of bloggers, writers, and citizens who are joining together to fight back against the corrupt leadership of the DNC, their “chosen” candidate, and the mainstream media that enables them.

NEW YORK (AFP) – Critics of President Barack Obama marked national tax day Wednesday with "tea party" protests that Republicans are calling the birth of a grassroots opposition, but Democrats dismiss as a fraud. Initially small crowds gathered under blustery skies in Washington, New York and Boston to protest taxes, government bailouts, and Obama's big-spending budget proposals. Organizer Eric Odom said protests would take place across almost 800 cities in a "new day for the freedom movement." The demonstrations, styled on the famed 1773 Boston Tea Party revolt against British colonial taxes, came as Americans rushed to meet the annual...

Enid, OK -- An Oklahoma man with a homemade sign on his vehicle was pulled over and harassed by police for allegedly making a threat against the president. Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police officer followed him for several miles and eventually signaled him to pull over. The officer mistook the sign, which read Abort Obama, not the unborn," as threatening.

Newly elected chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele said he is focused on three races in his effort to rebuild the GOP after it endured worrying losses in November's elections that gave Democrats control of Congress and the White House. Steele, Maryland's former lieutenant governor and the first black to head the RNC, said one of the most critical battles for the GOP is to capture New York's 20th congressional seat -- formerly held by U.S. Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, D-N.Y. "It is the first of a series of races that are coming up that are going to be...

Our banks have good liquidity, our credit market is relatively strong, home foreclosures are lowest in the nation. Two years ago at this podium, I urged spending restraint. I asked that billions of surplus funds be deposited in state savings. This struck me as a simple precaution against, as I described it, massive single-year cuts down the road, if and when we faced tougher times. You legislators agreed, so we can now meet our challenge in a stronger position. And you understood the challenge is not just to think fast and change plans when the price of oil suddenly falls,...

<p>Sadly, the 3rd Quad-Annual Free Republic Inaugural Ball in DC has been cancelled due to lack of interest. There will be no refunds (seeing as how no tickets were sold - and none offered).</p> <p>However, now is the time to begin planning a conservative offensive movement.</p>

With still three weeks remaining until he actually starts his new job, all reports are that President-elect Barack Obama is having a rough time of it. Even his beloved media seems to be on the verge of asking the question that was previously the exclusive domain of racists and haters: Is Barack Obama prepared for this job?

We knew that sooner or later in this American presidential campaign, somebody was going to do something really stupid. We might have guessed where: College Station. Now, a Texas A&M student group known as the class clowns of conservatism has staged a stunt that even their own faculty adviser calls "really dumb." The A&M chapter of the Waco-based Young Conservatives of Texas sponsored an egg toss Wednesday and again Friday. But not just your typical Aggie barnyard egg toss. A&M students were offered a chance to hurl eggs at a giant photo of Barack Obama. It was all part of...

Million Patriot March

Obama is the greatest THREAT to the Constitution, liberty, freedom and the Bill of Rights to ever run for the office of President. Only Obamabots can be so ignorant as to overlook his questionable associations, corruption, lies, and outright lack of experience. Obama taught constitutional law, yet he supports the Fairness Doctrine and harsh gun control laws? WHICH Constitution, Mr Obama? Certainly not that of the United States! Global Village Idiots for Obama! View the ADS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCaGlj52MCY

Politics and diplomacy were not a good mix at Monday's protest rally against Iran at the United Nations. Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin didn't participate in the "Stop Iran Now" rally and there were a lot of hard feelings about it. It was a simple sign that read "We Want Sarah. Shame On The Rally Organizer." Howard Webber from Brooklyn held it. "As important an event as this is, you needed a unity of Democrats and Republicans to show Ahmadinejad that we're not going to accept a nuclear Iran." Buddy Macy of Little Fells, N.J., felt much the same way....

This PUMA website has a couple of music vids that aren't bad. With a little modifications they could work as Republican pieces. I really love the pictures they found in Chain of Fools for Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed. The first one is Waterloo for Pelosi and gang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1QVhRDkFc0 The second is: Chain of Fools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4ZWAUtWQ1Y Of the two Waterloo for Pelosi and Gang is beter

Right-wing provocateur and well-known Clinton antagonist David Bossie says he will premiere a documentary critical of presidential candidate Barack Obama in Denver on the Sunday before the Democratic National Convention. Expected to recycle the "greatest hits" of cable TV clips that damaged Obama's candidacy, from the wailing of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to Michelle Obama's "proud of my country" gaffe, the project from Bossie's group Citizens United released an online trailer over the weekend and is being advertised on Fox News this week. It will be released on DVD nationwide Sept. 1. The film will offer new sound bites of...

Hypothetical question for liberal readers. If we oppose a candidate for his big-spending, squishy-on-America, cut-and-run, touchy-feelie, uber-liberal, hypocritical, unproud-of-her-country-wifing ways, does that make us racist? With bonus "Save Obama for your Mama" poster.

But in personality and politics, Ken Blackwell is the anti-Obama, a loud and persistent advocate for tax cuts, smaller government and a greater role for religion in daily life. With the cranky fiscal conservatism of H. Ross Perot, the saber-rattling chutzpah of Newt Gingrich and the volatile verbosity of Alan Keyes, Blackwell has already been elected statewide three times in Ohio. Now he is running for governor, aiming to be only the nation's second elected African-American governor.
