  • Box Office Flops For Tom Cruise’s ‘Rock Of Ages’

    “Spoiler” here so anyone who cares be warned:

    Alec Baldwin (wasn’t he going to leave the country way back when?) and Russell Brand discover they’re homosexually attracted to each other and have a graphic and sloppy on-screen kiss. Yechhhhhhh.

    These two and their scenes together are referred to by many critics as the only enjoyable and funny parts of the movie.

    You’re right and I agree.

    We should stay on message about going after OBAMA. Perry said the EO was a mistake. I hope he learned not to overreach. (He’s been Governor more than 11 1/2 years. If that’s the only mistake he made.....)

    Can we move on, people? The lamestram media will think we’re all a bunch of crazy yahoos again. (”The TEA Party is against vaccinating your childrens.”)

    Perry has a wonderful record as a right to life Governor and introduced the mandatory sonagram bill (before an abortion) in Texas. The courts are attempting to overturn it.

    If Texans don’t like something, we’re not shy about it. What everyone is calling the Texas DREAM Act (it isn’t, BTW)is about ten years old already. If we didn’t agree with it, we would get the legislature to repeal it. The Harry Reid DREAM Act applies to illegal “children” up to 35 years old, for one thing.

    We do have a long and closely entwined history with Mexico. (He!!, we used to BE Mexico!) That said, it’s not the answer for the entire country. And it is very much a states rights issue.

    Perry does want the borders secured, and he is for a guest worker program versus amnesty. He brought the legislature back this summer to try one more time to get the ban on sanctuary cities passed.

    But you can’t put a fence up in the middle of the Rio Grande river. What little bit of border fence that’s been completed has cost millions and millions of dollars.

    If anyone has time, I suggest looking deeper into eVerify. It’s not the silver bullet everyone assumes, and can raise as many issues as it tries to solve.

    There is NO financial help on tuition, they have to pay it themselves but at the in-state rate. Like other kids who attended high school in Texas for at least three years.

    I’m not saying he’s serious, and I’m not saying I’d vote for him in the primary. But.... evidently in large scale business negotiations (for instance with the Chinese) yelling, bluster, and profanity are so common as to be the order of the day. Otherwise you’d be viewed as a wimp.

  • Why wasn’t Obama ever vetted?

    Please, please send these to Donald Trump’s office, to his attorney and to any other contacts you or any of the Freepers can provide who can bring this to Donald’s attention.

  • Obama’s ineligibility: conspiracy and cowardice

    The Repubs didn’t press the issue because McCain’s eligibility was “murky” as well. They adopted a resolution to consider McCain a NBC because he was going to disqualified under a “technicality” in their view.
    What if Obama’s birth certificate lists no father or “unknown”? In the case of an unwed mother (and we know his mother wasn’t legally married to Obama Sr. at the time because he had not yet obtained a divorce from his Kenyan wife), would one parent qualify him as a NBC IF he was in fact born in Hawaii? If Obama’s biological father was a British citizen, but they were NOT married, does that factor in? And... what does the later Indonesian adoption do to his citizenship? My understanding is this was a legal adoption. Indonesia doesn’t allow for dual citizenship, but we do.
    It is amazing that there are SEVERAL scenarios that might disqualify him, and no one cared.
