Free Republic

Donate to Free Republic to help keep the lights on! Do it now!!!Since the first rebel's yell for America's freedom was heard across this great land, Americans have yearned to keep liberty alive. Today we face numerous challenges to our Constitution and Bill of Rights. We have a choice. One is to sit back and do nothing. The other is as our President George W. Bush said at his Inauguration Speech, to become actively involved as citizens. Make our voices heard. Shout it out loud so that Congress can hear our views. FReeRepublic gives us that awesome opportunity. So you ...

When Jim Robinson started Free Republic in September, 1996 to expose the corruption in government and particularly the Clinton Whitehouse, he was alone.

Four times a year we have this freepathon to donate a few dollars to pay for the bandwidth and expenses necessary to keep Free Republic online, and we ...

"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."  --Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830)

We have spent every day since the attacks going back and forth within imaginary boxes drawn in the ocean, standing high-security watches, ...

Cuts Daily Policy Digest Tax IssuesWednesday, October 10, 2001 Spending on new public works or rebate checks isn't the best way to stimulate the economy -- even in the short run, says former Treasury official Bruce Bartlett. So what's the government to do? Historically, economists favored public spending for short-run stimulus. Public works, public service jobs programs and the like were thought to affect growth more quickly than changes in tax policy, and theoretically could be better targeted. Actually, spending on public works requires far more lead time than people anticipate for planning, environmental impact statements and so forth. ...

Tuesday, 25 September, 2001, 01:23 GMT 02:23 UK By Caroline Wyatt in Moscow Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement that Russia will support US military operations in Afghanistan heralds a very significant step for Russia. In a televised speech, Mr Putin said Russia would funnel fresh arms to the Afghan opposition, open its airspace for aid shipments, and widen the cooperation with the international alliance against terrorism. Only a few weeks ago this level of co-operation with the US would have been unthinkable. Now the Russian president says that Moscow will not stand in the way of America using former Soviet ...

PATRICK HENRY'S FAMOUS SPEECH ********************************************************** Addressing the Virginia Assembly ********************************************************** Mister President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to ...

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Robinson at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies' Ronald Reagan Freedom Award ceremony. By now you all may know that Free Republic and Jim Robinson were honored by the NFRA, but I was struck by how much the good people of the NFRA think that Free Republic is making a difference in the fight for conservatism. While BobJ was doing a most excellent job of accepting the award on behalf of Free Republic and Jim Robinson, he told the packed Ball Room that Free Republic now has 70,000 registered posters ...

Surplus projections have varied greatly over the past few years, notes Bruce Bartlett. The projected fiscal year 2001 surplus has declined from $281 billion in February to $158 billion. The fact that estimates of this year's surplus have fallen are mainly due to slowing economic growth, not the Bush tax cut. In 1995, the first year in which the budget contained estimates for FY2001, President Bill Clinton expected a budget DEFICIT of $193 billion this year (see figure http://www.ncpa.org/pd/gif/pd082701a,gif). Last year's Mid-Session Review put the surplus for 2001 at $44 billion. In his last budget, in January 2001, Clinton put ...

  It will be very easy for you to say, "Well, I will do something, some day. When I can afford it, I am going to." But would you let an old "grad" tell you one thing now? Giving is a habit. Get into the habit now, because you will never be able to afford to give and contribute, thus to repay the obligation you owe to those people who made this college possible, if you wait until you think you can afford it. Start now regardless of how small, and in the days to come when you are confronted ...

Freepers don't do what they do for accolades or glory. They fight, and write, and call, and protest because they love thier country and the freedom it provides.
