    <p>The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?</p>
  • Louisville police: 17 downtown mob incidents Saturday

    Ten years ago, the media in Louisville, Ky., could have gotten away with reporting this weekend’s events this way: A group of 10 “roving teens got into a fight with two girls … then it happened a few more times over two hours.” But now, less than 24 hours after a mob of 30 black people roamed through the city’s downtown Saturday, beating, laughing, destroying property, sending three seriously hurt people to the hospital and walking away laughing, outraged citizens in Louisville are asking two questions: Why is black mob violence such a problem? And when is local media going...

    The House voted unanimously Saturday morning to approve a bipartisan bill ensuring furloughed federal workers receive backpay once the government shutdown ends. The vote on the Federal Employee Retroactive Pay Fairness Act was 407-0. Twenty-five members didn't vote. The measure now moves to the Senate, where it is expected to pass. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) had introduced a Senate version of the bill earlier this week.

    From the 1974 album: "Starless and Bible Black" this song written over 35 years ago draws some interesting parallels to Obama. When you think about Obama's history and some of the things that define his personality, the words hit spot on in a quite unnerving fashion. Thats all I'm gonna say. Except. WHOOOooo Scary.

    BEIJING, July 24 (UPI) -- The first plasma discharge from China's experimental advanced superconducting research center -- the so-called "artificial sun" -- is set to occur next month. The discharge, expected about Aug. 15, will be conducted at Science Island in Hefei, in east China's Anhui Province, the Peoples Daily reported Monday. Scientists told the newspaper a successful test will mean the world's first nuclear fusion device of its kind will be ready to go into actual operation, the newspaper said. The plasma discharge will draw international attention since some scientists are concerned with risks involved in such a process....

    My Post Office ^ | 6/15/2004 | gasshog
    The clerk at my local Post Office gave me this bit of news today. It is also being talked about on the eBay Boards. USPS is going to open and check every bit of "Media mail" (used to be book rate) to make sure the packages dont contain anything that is not allowed by the regulations. Here is what the clerk told me today: At first they issued a notice that anyone with Media mail had to bring it in UNSEALED before that would accept it, then the clerk told me that they changed that directive so the clerks had...

  • Why Do YOU eat Black-Eyed Peas on New Years? FIND OUT HERE!

    internet, cyberspace
    Q. How did the belief that eating blackeyed peas on New Year's Day start? A. Back in the days of the Wild West, Southern gentility, and Northern hostility, our celebrated blackeyed peas were used strictly for the feeding of cattle in the South. During the Civil War battle of Vicksburg, the town was under siege for over 40 days. No supplies went in and none came out The entire town was on the brink of starvation. So they ate those humble "cowpeas," thus starting a southern tradition. Nowadays blackeyes are eaten every New Year's Day to bring good luck for ...

    There was a thread with this title over a month ago, but I could not find it to create a link to this thread. Maybe someone else can do it.Anyway, the first thread was very interesting, fun and got a lot of response. Free Republic has gotten alot of publicity lately and I think we have added a lot of new people since the Election fiasco so they might like to tell their story of how they found FR and their first impressions, etc. So on with the show...
