Free Republic

I'm fed up with politics!! The whole kit-and-kaboodle!! Here's why: The Republican Party has become a nest of teetering, sodded, half-baked senior citizens that do not know what day it is, whether it is a 'meat loaf day', or a day to afford time with the masses who voted them into office. They had a grand moment, to truly change America, and all they did was vote for pay raises for themselves. The Democratic Party, which at one time decried anything "socialist/communist" as against America, now fully7 and openly embrace the teachings of Marx, Lenin, Castro, and Khrushchev. I switched...

Hi folks, I extend to you good wishes from my dialysis chair. I have questions about those classic designed double edge safety razors. Who owns one? Which one do you have? Which company's blades work best for you?Do you have "a collection"? Lastly, are you one of those that have "a shave den"? I figured I would put this topic forward, as a diversion from all the craziness of today. Oh yes, you may include the other parts of "the shaving experience", i.e., brushes, creams, soaps, oils, bowls, mugs, scuttles.

Good Morning! The meal leftovers are in the fridge, until later today. The big Tyson event looms. The newsmedia continues feeding its pablum, unchecked. The Democrats continue counting their eggs, unhatched. The Republicans are quite silent. The stimulus carrot on a stick check dropped, having worked its election magick. Former VP Biden slips further into the "He Has No Clothes" tailorshop. And all the while ... Trump is still yo' Prez-dent!

To the Democrats that wish to "change my mind", Do you really believe that you can "re-align" a mind that has already been "aligned"? I am a "Goldwater Republican". I am "one of those there Nativists." I believe that the American citizen comes first, at home, in peace and in war. I believe that the legal immigrants who come and have come here, should assimilate to the American culture, and not bring the crap they left behind. They are "HERE", and not "THERE". I do recognize the desire to hold on to "who you are and where you came from",...

Gentlemen, express yourselves by means of which non'cartridge disposable razor you have used. I am moving away from Schick ST2's because 12 razors for $12.97 is not conducive to my budget, even with "sensitive skin"!

Dear Readers, I post this question: "Is it "wrong" for an American citizen to exercise their 1st Amendment freedom, and refuse to partake of Christianity?" Why would it be 'wrong" for them? What makes it 'wrong'? How would you address that, without stepping on their 1st Amendment right? Do you see the 1st Amendment as a stumbling block for Christianity? Do you think American citizens who make this choice should have 1st Amendment rights? If not, why? Thank you for reading these questions, even if you just shake your head, and move on.

Why is it, in today's modern American society, there are folks that are attempting to glue together the words 'patriotism' and 'christianity', as if there were no other ways to define 'American patriotism? I am a Viet Vet, and I can tell you, all those 45 years and longer ago, there were patriots shedding their blood for y'all's freedom, that did not label themselves as 'christian'. Now, here, in the time of Trump, the shouts rise up for all good christian patriots to step up, etc. That speaks volumes of 'shunning' to everybody else that did patriotic things, including dying...

Vanity -- Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Not Fit to Vote for Your Young Men and Women To Go To War. Her body of thought, comments, evaluations, and demeanor all prove what I am saying.

The ULA just scrubbed the launch, again, of Mission NRO-17. A hydrogen leak, if I heard it correctly, was detected around the port-mounted main engine of the heavy lift rocket. Announced time pushed back 24 hours for another launch.

The Romans invented the method of military discipline called "decimation". It meant that 'one in ten' members of the Roman Army, no matter their rank or degree of misconduct, by lottery, were slain by the other nine members. When the New Orleans V.A. leadership, after Hurricane Katrina, had sent their employees in a form of diaspora across the nation to keep them working. Later, the decision of consolidation from over 5,000 to less than 1,500 employees came via an Excel spreadsheet sent to every employee, wherever they had been sent. I propose that President Trump utilize the Roman principle, along...

An After Thanksgiving Day Letter: I hope that EVERYBODY, (yes, that includes you), had a wonderful, fulfilling, and delightful Thanksgiving. I know that there are those, that are wearing the uniform of our nation, in lots of mispronounced and misspelled places about the globe, doing their duty in keeping the rest of us safe and free. (ya hear that, ol' kaperwhatsit?) I know, because I was once one of them, myself. I know that there are those, ahem, "folks" (I'm trying to keep this postable), who have derided the Thanksgiving holiday, with their rather peculiar talking points. It is obvious...

Since the inception of "the media", (post-WW2), what has this so-called 'industry' actually contributed to the national gross product?

From one 'Happy Deplorable' to all American citizens, Sometimes, it seems that little nuggets of truths are found in the most obscure writings in existence, from current publications, ancient writ, and stuff that is just plain weird, in someone's eyes. I present to you such a raw nugget. I quote: "A nation must become aware of its own character before it can be said to exist. From that knowledge it must divine its destiny. It must then consider the political conditions of the world, how other countries may help it or hinder it. It must then destroy in itself any...

Information is dribbling out about Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, the illegal alien from Honduras who crashed a party bus into a traffic pileup on I-10 in St. John the Baptist Parish on Sunday, killing two people and injuring some 40 others – and none of it is good. And Amaya’s lengthy history as an illegal running wild outside the law now promises to make a few of Louisiana’s more high-profile public officials look like clowns. At present, there is a major dust-up afoot between Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu over the issue, as yesterday...

This is addressed to all those funding Hillary's election.

Amid the historic flooding many of the rescues in Acadiana, and across the state, are being credited to civilians. They call themselves the "Cajun Navy." The group started during Hurricane Katrina, when hundreds from Acadiana went to New Orleans with their boats to make rescues. "Between us all, we took out quite a bit of people," said Doug Bienvenue, a member of the group. Now the "Cajun Navy" is back, but the fleet is facing a few challenges. Bienvenue is an original member of the fleet, so when GoFundMe accounts and t-shirt sales started popping up throughout flood relief under...

After historic floods drove thousands from their homes this past week, Brandi Lipsey drove from her hometown in Concordia Parish to Ascension Parish with a trailer full of brand new medical supplies. She arrived at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center, where hundreds of evacuees were being housed. But the shelter, which receives support from the American Red Cross, rejected her haul of wheel chairs, crutches, canes, diabetic supplies and other goods like clothes and water, Lipsey said. She wasn't allowed to bring her donations inside of the facility, so people in the shelter, many of whom left their homes with...

They are turning donations away. Flood victims are being refused folks wishing to cook fresh meals for them by The Red Cross.
