Free Republic

I think many of us come here for some fellowship with like minded conservative allies and it makes us happy to see that we are not alone. But, over the years I have noticed something that seems amiss to me, which is the lack of responses to people who have expressed their opinion. Many is the time that I see a comment to which no one has replied; a situation in which no one responds to a Freeper who has expressed an opinion. I think most, if not all of us, would likely enjoy an acknowledgement that people have read...

On this day 248 years ago, 13 slave owning states seceded from the Union, (United Kingdom/Union of Crowns) Formed a Confederacy (See Articles of Confederation) and fought against the Union for their Independence. The Union forces offered Freedom to the slaves (See Lord Dunmore's proclamation), while the Rebel forces were led by a slave owning General from Virginia. (See George Washington). On July 4, 1776, they released a document called the Declaration of Independence, and the principles stated therein were accepted by the nation for "Four Score and Seven Years", after which the nation cast these ideas aside, and insisted...

Paul Harris got up before the Arizona Senate and testified that he was responsible for auditing the UOCAVA ballots. (Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Act) He said these ballots went from 1,600 ballots in 2016, to around 9,600 in 2020, and 95% of them were for Joe Biden!

Today we celebrate the 13 original states seceding from the Union and forming a confederacy. (Articles of Confederation.)

The late Great Walter Williams makes it quite clear that he believed the South had a right to secede.

Under the First Amendment, the federal government may not police private speech nor pick winners and losers in the marketplace of ideas. But that is precisely what the government has done—and is still doing—on a massive scale not previously divulged. Multiple agencies’ communications demonstrate that the federal government has exerted tremendous pressure on social-media companies—pressure to which companies have repeatedly bowed.

For some time I have wondered how to explain the cause of the Civil War in simple terms that are easy to understand. I now see that Ayn Rand did it years ago. Laws passed by a Northern controlled Congress routed all the money produced by the South into Northern "elite" pockets.

Seceded state about to be reacquired by the Union. Which side should we root for?

How did this happen? Big Tech lobbyists orchestrated the quiet insertion of a seemingly innocuous provision (Article 19.17) into the deal that is based on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230, much beloved by big tech, and an essential building block of their monopolistic dominance, holds that platforms like Facebook cannot be held liable as a "publisher or speaker" of their users' content.

I just called my Senators and Rep to complain about big tech censorship of dissident speech.

An American POTUS can LEGALLY authorize electronic surveillance 'without a court order...to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year’. Yes, it's true. Obama had legal authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting process. 4. Such power lies in 50 U.S. Code § 1802 -

Just saw this in a comment thread on "Instapundit". Commenter "sven10077" posted this photograph. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/291916/#respond

"Email to Barnhardt sent. Reply: “Site5 hosting killed us after receiving a “third party complaint”. Full-on totalitarian censorship. Spread the word. We will work to get hosting offshore set up immediately. Remember, if you aren’t taking enemy fire, you need to examine your conscience. 👍🙏” — Barnhardt"

The other day 2ndDivisionVet posted a picture of an AntiFa flag that looked like it came from the 1930s. I asked him if that image was from the 1930s, but he didn't know.

Did you notice how the FBI, the CIA and the Mainstream media had absolutely no interest in verifying Obama's eligibility to be President, yet they seem to be bending over backwards to push this fake dossier about Trump?

Chill out people! Everybody is churning out sleaze, and it needs to stop. We are better than this! I've seen all sorts of sleazy attacks directed at both candidates, and this is just wrong. People keep repeating the most unmitigated crap about the candidates to the extent that they have completely forgotten about being fair minded. If it's against the other guy, they repeat it, even if it is silly. So many people seem to have lost the ability to think critically, and have seemingly turned into a gaggle of emotional hate-spewing babies. It's not good for the Party, it's...

28 people killed by Islamic terrorism won't be enough to wake Europe up. Would 280? No, I don't think so. Would 2,800? No, I don't think so. Would 28,000? I think 28,000 people being killed by Islamic terrorists might be enough to wake Europe up, but only if it happened quickly enough.

The sort of thing that makes you yearn for a simpler time. Take a moment to relax and admire this man's work. You're Welcome.

Fake Russian woman endorses Sanders because of his socialistic ideas. Very Funny.
