Free Republic

Let's see if I understand the rules. Blacks, African Americans, or whatever the politically correct nom du jour is, are free to rail against whites. But if a white dares to mention race, the consequences are dire. Geraldine Ferraro is the latest casualty in the ongoing race war, which, oddly enough, has only white casualties. Geraldine was forced to step down from Hillary's campaign because she dared exercise her first amendment right, suggesting Obama wouldn't be succeeding in the Democratic nomination battle if he weren't black. Whether or not her comment is valid will never be debated. For daring to...

Last week the Hillary supporters at the Daily KOs went on STRIKE and this week KOmmie KOs responds with a THREAD titled, "The Clinton civil war." So let us now join the KOmmie KOs counterattack in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, enjoying the War Between the Democrats, is in the [brackets]: ...this site has also been hostile to the corrosive consultant class that gave us our timid and weak party until Howard Dean shook it up in 2004. [But not hostile to those lucrative consultant fees collected on the sly by Unknown Jerome.] Now I'm...

I can’t really complain because I thought at the time that Rush’s plan (Operation Chaos) was brilliant, and I was enjoying the resulting turmoil. With Hillary down, but a close second to Obama, and with the Republican race decided, his plan was to have Republicans cross over in Texas and Ohio and vote for Hillary. Keep the Democratic race close with no apparent winner and let the Democrats tear themselves apart at their convention this summer. Entice them into a repeat of their 1968 disaster that helped elect a Republican president.

So how does the media report a "Republican preacher scandal" compared to how it reports a "Democratic preacher scandal?"

Pure Vanity! Today marks a decade of membership in this fine institution. It is significant, personally because it demonstrates permanence and reliability in a rapidly-changing world. The web has certainly sped up our interaction with people and events. Stuff comes and goes so quickly that permanence and reliability are almost novel concepts. I want to take this opportunity to thank Jim – and anyone else who works to keep this site going. I depend on FreeRepublic every day and it is always there – keeping me informed as the world speeds by.

Time for the first True Crime post of the week. How about a fine Dad who makes his daughter kill her own pet cat? Or a daughter who lets her elderly mother lay on the floor where she fell for weeks? A fine fellow killed his friend in order to marry his wife and he's finally brought to justice. Another female teacher gets a young adolescent into bed, she must be so proud of herself. A Lesbian rendezvous ends in murder, more on the UNC murder and the Ricin man comes out of coma. Police release possible pic of Tinley...

Democrats spent 40 years engineering the perfect presidential nomination system. Instead we engineered a perfect train wreck. We now are in perfect position to blow an election that should be ours. We have two strong, popular candidates for the nomination. Neither has put the race away. They are tired, frustrated and getting madder at each other every day. Their supporters are getting more and more bitter. And the party is about to fracture on racial and gender lines. Here is how we got here: * After the 1968 Chicago convention, the party went on a reform bender: Cut the bosses’...

John Edwards helped save Bill Clinton a decade ago. Could he do the same for Hillary Clinton this year? After his election to the Senate in 1998, Edwards went to Washington with zero experience in public office. He had barely voted, let alone served in office. He had spent most of his adult life in courtrooms. So he walks into the Senate, and the first order of business is … a trial! Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial. Edwards immediately distinguished himself with a dispassionate and masterful summary of the facts, concluding that Clinton’s actions did not justify removal from office. Arguably,...

Will the black nationalists and white lefties who pushed Obama up the political ladder in Chicago prove to be a liability to his White House run? March 18, 2008 | CHICAGO -- We were all wrong about Barack Obama's exotic past. The same folks who once whispered that B. Hussein Obama was a mole for radical Islam are now decrying his links to an even more anti-American cult: the United Church of Christ. And it wasn't Honolulu, or Jakarta, or Nairobi that put Obama in touch with folks supposedly bent on undermining heartland values. It was the heart of the...

Senator Barack Obama has been severely burned by the recently released videos (it appears that Hillary has been a busy bee lately) of his self described spiritual mentor and role model showing an ugly side that is offensive and downright repugnant to most thinking people. Obama is nervous, backpedaling and apparently running as far away from Pastor Jeremiah ‘Old Uncle, The US of KKKA’ Wright as he can get at the moment...

This is an extremely rare creature, has very large ears and has been captured on camera in its native habitat for the first time.

Presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) has offered Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) the opportunity to run with her as the Democrat’s nominee for vice-president. “Look, Barack is a nice boy,” Clinton observed. “I wouldn’t want to see anything bad happen to him. As my vice-presidential running mate he’ll be safe. And with a little seasoning under my administration, he might be a suitable presidential contender in another decade or so.” Thus far, Obama has rebuffed Clinton’s offer. "I don't know how somebody who is in second place is offering the vice presidency to somebody who is in first place," Obama...

Well, the votes are finally tallied, the lawsuits settled, and the Highest Court has finally ruled on what to with the uncounted ballots. Finally, three months later, we have a clear winner. Before we get to the story, we would like to pass on that we were very discerning in our choice of Best Article. We looked for a story with significant social impact, as well as "newsworthiness". We felt that our choice not only met those benchmarks, but far exceeded them. There were many stories to choose from, over 500, and certainly some deserve more than honorable mention. But...

ScienceDaily (Mar. 17, 2008) — Far from being a model of social co-operation, the ant world is riddled with cheating and corruption -- and it goes all the way to the top, according to scientists from the Universities of Leeds and Copenhagen.

“I learned about a time in the history of this country when people worked for literally pennies an hour ... worked 12-hour shifts ... and when children worked in factories ... when organizing a union was a crime ... when Black men were being lynched ... the Vietnam War in which 4 million Vietnamese lost their lives ... and while all of this was going on what did they say about the people that were organizing against this? They said what they really want is socialism; they are a bunch of communists. I learned that the first gay rights organization...

A machine that churns out three-dimensional artificial tumours could help improve anti-cancer drug testing, researchers say. The "tumour factory" offers a better alternative to the flat cultured cells currently used to test new anticancer drugs. "Cells grown in a monolayer are very useful in many studies," says Maria Teresa Santini of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità in Rome, Italy, who was not involved with the work . "But they cannot represent a three-dimensional tumour."

A simple question that should be asked of Senator Obama: "If you are elected President, is the judgment demonstrated in the selection of Rev. Wright as you Pastor, Mentor, and Spiritual Adviser, indicative of the judgment we can expect in the selection of members of your cabinet?"

Dr. Laura is taking an enormous amount of heat from feminists over her comments concerning the Eliot Spitzer/Silda Spitzer situation. For example, in the Salon Broadsheet blog post Dr. Laura to Silda: It's all your fault!, feminist blogger Kate Harding writes: "Conservative radio host Laura Schlessinger has offered us a new theory on Silda Wall Spitzer: She drove her husband to cheat in the first place. "In the last week, she has been on Hannity & Colmes, Larry King Live and the Today show, offering opinions like this: "'And when the wife does not focus in on the needs and...
