Free Republic

When are we going to smarten up? Our illustrious president has gone, on bended knee, and kissed the collective arses of every Muslim punk dictator around the world. In Cairo, he made a point of letting the world know how much respect he and America have for Islam. As a result, there is peace throughout the world, butterflies accompany everyone everywhere, and rainbows dot the skies…no, wait, that is just in Obama’s head. Actually, they have spit upon every obsequious gesture, laughing at the ignorance and timidity of their next conquest. More...

Children including teens (yes even your children and grandchildren) have almost certainly been exposed to pornography. A predator has already approached many. The lure, if not cash, is usually alcohol or some other drug, occasionally cigarettes for the very young. Statistics are spotty as most children, even older teens, whether they take the bait or not, do not tell anyone in authority. Do not help these pigs. There are clear statistics that the earlier a child is exposed to drugs, the higher the likelihood of trouble. The nonsense that it is somehow responsible to show a child how to drink...

Obama’s In May 2009 when Nurse Catherina Cenzon-DeCarlo was forced to participate in committing a late term abortion in a New York City hospital she did so because she was directly threatened with firing if she did not comply. Ms. Cenzon-DeCarlo was threatened with the loss of her job and her license if she did not put aside her deeply held religious objections to abortions. She was told the abortion was an emergency although the hospital’s records show otherwise. What is clear is that in a hospital full of nurses the administration felt it had to make its point by...

White America still owes us is the misguided mantra foisted on Blacks for decades that is upsetting to Lloyd Marcus, an un-hyphenated American of African descent, who decries what Black History month has become in our nation. He says it’s the special time of the year when race hustlers pitch many new guilt trip entitlement programs on us and our politicians, because Marcus says the hustlers still are stuck back in the 1950′s angst of systematic abuse. Not true today he says. “Throughout American history, white folks, mostly Christians, suffered, sacrificed and died to help set blacks free and move...

Thomas Jefferson was extremely vocal regarding his fear of the aggregation of power in any branch of the government. As such, he viewed the role of the Supreme Court as being one of restricting the growth of any government agency that went beyond its Constitutional authority. He certainly did not envision a court that spent its time waving a metaphorical magic wand over the expansion of faux Constitutional power. That is, I suspect he would have smiled upon the Court’s belatedly ensuring that a black citizen’s voting rights were secure but looked askance at most of the rest of the...

According to Bill Gertz at the Washington Times “The Pentagon is scrambling to explain what appears to be an intelligence failure after Internet photos made public recently showed a faster-than-estimated advance of China’s new fifth-generation warplane.” In an interview, Chief of Naval Intelligence Adm. David Dorsett, stated that the “new Chinese fighter program was not a surprise, but “the speed at which they are making progress … we underestimated.”” According to Chinese Air Force Gen. He Weirong the country expects to deploy the J-20 Stealth Aircraft as early as 2017. The only obstacle China has in its stealth program is...

For his 2009 defeat of scrupulously liberal governor Jon Corzine, Chris Christie was rewarded with the massive chore of restoring sanity to the workings of New Jersey’s benighted state government. Though labor and the media have criticized his every attempt to create a workable budget, Christie’s hardnosed style and matter-of-fact approach have captured the imagination of conservatives throughout the country. He has been compared to Ronald Reagan and more than a few staunch supporters hope he runs for president. Then, on December 20th Christie added gun rights believers across the nation to the rolls of his growing conservative fan club...

An unbelievable story is unfolding that is a glaring example of the liberal mind set both because of its naivete’ and its bubble mentality. Joseph Klein’s outstanding new book “Lethal Engagement” is laying out the Islamic concept of deception called takiyya. Radical Islam is seeing Barack Obama fulfill his promise to fundamentally change our beloved America. Klein outlines the real agenda of the Middle Eastern religious political ideology which is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and to undermine and conquer the United States and Western civilization, and the brilliant author shows us how they’re doing it!...

Benjamin Franklin, regarding the new Republic opined: “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” His reference was to individual voters or voting blocs using government to enrich themselves directly. Given the limited powers of the then fledgling Federal Government, he did not envision the “money go round” that permeates and too frequently dominates Washington DC. “Liberals” and their snarky hypocritical ilk controlled the agenda in DC for most years after Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s war. That control existed and was kept alive on a sea of Federal largesse and campaign...

On December 28 a news service reported a 35 year old United States Navy Officer Lt. Cmdr. Scintar Buenviaje Mejia died when he jumped headfirst into a concrete floor from a ten foot high stairway platform. The story as reported was that on December 26, Lt. Cmdr. Mejia had been arrested as a drug currier by police at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport. He was attempting to board a Philippine Airlines Flight from Manila to Los Angeles when he was stopped. The police held up a bag containing white powder they claimed to have found in Mejia’s luggage which they...

Before glazing over of the eyes sets in, read what our new speaker is doing, something so sensible that one wonders where this procedure went anyway. Speaker John Boehner is vowing to put bill writing power back in the hands of committees and will institute new policies that post bills and their committee rules online for 3 days. Also, the text of any legislation to be marked-up must be circulated “no less than 24 hours before the markup.”Now “truth in testimony” information electronically posted will reveal any conflicts of interest of witnesses at the Congressional hearings along with posting member...

Apparently a new day is dawning in our new year because a memo from John Boehner’s office sent to the Orlando Tea Party is setting out a sea change of new House rules for the incoming 112th Congress that is in direct contradiction to the lame stream media’s chants that the GOP’s Pledge to America is worthless! The Orlando Tea Party, one of the country’s most effective and most well managed and sourced, received this internal communiqué which states “This new set of rules sets a new standard for transparency and accountability and makes important budget process reforms that will...

June 2009, while speaking at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, “Defense Secretary Robert Gates defended his proposed cuts in the Air Force’s fighter fleet in Fiscal 2010 as part of overall changes to the US tactical air arm. He said under his plan—to cap F-22 production at 187, shed more than 250 legacy fighters, and rely on the F-35 production line henceforth as the sole active source of advanced stealth fighters—the US will still be left with a “numerical and technological edge” that will remain “extremely strong and far superior to that of any potential competitor for at least the next 15...

Over the years governors have given Christmastime pardons to people who have been convicted of some of the most serious crimes on the books. In Wisconsin for example, within the past twenty years at least two murderers were pardoned by the State’s governors. Civil pardons for this kind of offenses happen every year. Acting in a strictly civil capacity, governors have shown the type of mercy and compassion to those who have committed these crimes and set them on their way back to their new life. While such mercy and compassion is also the professed position of the Catholic Church...

In the lead up to the 2008 Presidential election college campuses fairly crackled with excitement and anticipation. The oh-so-much-more enlightened “Youth vote” was ready to explode and “show” the older generations who was the smartest most compassionate and most politically correct generation in American history. They intended to elect America’s first Black president, and they did. Now two years later those 18 to 24 year olds look like the dumbest group of people ever to walk into a polling place. The most recent USA TODAY analysis of the employment picture reveals the startling fact that, as a group, those aged...

Complacent conservatives not only have allowed our primary and secondary school systems to descend into the pits of liberal philosophies, but we have kept silent while our American colleges and universities wallow in mediocrity. “They [students] are not being given meaningful instruction, regarding the responsibilities of citizens, and they are certainly not being taught the benefits of moral restraint,” (p. 213) says author Jim Nelson Black in his outstanding book, “Freefall of the American University; How Our Colleges Are Corrupting the Minds and Morals of the Next Generation.” As parents and grandparents struggle to get enough tuition dollars together, we...

Recently the History Channel proved that it is as snarky as those of who watch it thought. To wit: the Georgia Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) wanted to run some ads on the History Channel. These ads pointed out the legal basis for secession and, quite accurately, that the North invaded the newly configured Confederacy (Manassas/Bull Run is, after all, in Virginia). Another pointed out that Northern interests essentially ran the Federal government, frequently to the advantage Northern supporters at the expense of the South. The most accurate ad of all simply stated that ANY STATE had...

America’s biggest crisis for long term national survival is our failure to educate our children. Somehow this fact is getting lost in the din of the liberal elite media entertainment complex which is very reluctant to admit that liberalism and the Democrats’ unholy sweetheart deals with the educrats are to blame. With the United States ranking 25th in Math and 21st in Science of 30 developed countries, we know we’re in trouble, big time! Two great documentaries offer insight into this sinkhole so long ignored in the liberal conservative push pull of national politics. Quotes such as “throwing money at...

The Republican victories in Tuesday’s midterm election removed 10 Democrats from the House Armed Services Committee (HASC). Texas Democrat Rep. Solomon Ortiz, current HASC readiness panel chairman most likely will be the eleventh. The most noticeable Democrat departures are current HASC chairman Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO.), (after 33 years in office) and Rep. John Spratt (D-S.C.), also lost his seat after 28 years. The leading candidate for HASC chairmanship, Rep. Howard “Buck” McKeon (R-CA.) announced his priorities for the 112th Congress as: “…support [for] military personnel and their families; and investing in the necessary capabilities and force structure, “while mandating...
