Captain Or Ben-Yehuda of the Israeli Defense Forces has cemented a legacy that will endure well past her lifetime. The young, decorated IDF Captain was in charge of a company of soldiers when they were violently attacked by nearly two dozen terrorists near the Egyptian border.

I know that Thanksgiving is still a month away, but if we want to wage an effective NFL boycott, then a little community organizing is in order. Thanksgiving is the most important day of the football season for American patriots to send a message to Roger Goodell. On this day, we give thanks for the greatest country in the world.......a country that Colin Kaepernick says was never great. Kaepernick is entitled to his opinions. But by allowing Kaepernick, and other players who share his sentiments, to use NFL games as a venue to express these views, Goodell is tacitly endorsing...

I was thinking that it would be great if Native Michigan son, Mitt Romney, threw out the first pitch at the first Tigers home game of the World Series. Considering that it's a swing state, his Dad was a popular Governor there, and it's very close to the election, this seems like a no brainer. It would also send a message to the Obama campaign that "damn right we're contesting Michigan". It would also be best to do this at the first Tigers home game, since the crowd will be so revved up, regardless of what happens during the first...

First off, let me clarify by stating that I don't necessarily expect Romney to win a 40 state blow out like Reagan did in 1980. However, in 1980, no pollster predicted such a big win for Reagan. On election day, the polls either showed a dead heat, or a slight lead for Reagan, and he wound up winning by around 10%. I believe that on election day, 2012, the polls will show either a dead heat, or a slight lead for Obama, and Romney will ultimately win by 3% to 6%. This belief is based on the transformation that the...

Conservatives are always complaining about liberal bias in the media, and rightfully so. This bias always escalates during presidential election campaigns. Yet never before has there been an election with nearly this much potential for inspiring a substantial backlash against the media, expressed in the privacy the voting booth. Here are the five main reasons why this is so: 1. For fifteen years, Bill and Hillary Clinton were the darlings of the liberal mainstream media. Yet when Barack Obama started gaining momentum, the media ditched Bill and Hillary at the curb and went speeding off to lover's lane with their...

Remember when President Bush got re-elected in 2004, and the media mockingly blamed John Kerry's defeat on "values voters" who live in "Jesusland"? Well all these values voters ought to be pretty fired up over the prospect of coming out and voting AGAINST a pro-abortion zealot like Barack Obama, who was mentored by an America hating Marxist terrorist, and an America hating racist Black suprememacist. They should also be pretty fired up over the prospect of coming out and voting FOR a Republican ticket that consists of an American hero like John McCain, who has devoted his whole life to...

Can someone with some artistic talent and/or photo-shop skills please create an image that shows Joe the plumber as Toto, Obama as the great Oz, and Karl Marx as the man behind the curtain? This would be a very powerful image that could be sent all over the internet. I have lots of ideas for political cartoons, but I can't draw a straight line, and I'm not very computer literate. Thanks a million FReepers!!

I've asked this question on several posts today, and I've yet to get an answer. I've been hearing that Obama has only been drawing crowds of a few thousand lately, compared to the large crowds that Sarah Palin has been drawing. Does anyone have any concrete figures as to the size of Obama's recent rallies, or if he's even actively holding rallies at this point? You'd think that in order to help give the impression that he's got the election in the bag that he'd be bussing in tens of thousands of people to hear him speak with only a...

I've been an FR reader since 2002.This is my first vanity post. For months, conservatives have been complaining about the unprecedented favoritism that the media has been showing Obama, which goes well beyond the normal amount of favoritism that the media shows towards Democrats during an election year. But we need to take a step back and realize that the media's reluctance to pin the blame for this financial crisis squaurely on the shoulders of the culprits who are responsible for it is not just part and parcel of the their desire to help Obama get elected. It is a...
