Free Republic

Hi everyone. Just wanted to say I finally got the boot from gather.com . Just wanted to say that you would figure a blog site would want to put fair rules to everyone on a site. But sadly gathers support person Erik Edson, Team Gather, Aka " Chuck McGuire" Gather.com Member Support (Yeah these two people are really the same person.) has been very biased in his dealings on gather. Yes I was warned four times about minor issues where I had seen similar comments by the leftards in which none of them received warnings on. I would like to...

(Ifound these articles very interesting and very educational on what is happening in the USA right now.) Radicalism in the US 1980-2000 The most important difference with the Reagan administration and Carter's was Ronald Reagan. Reagan was an old timey "Classical Liberal" American conservative who believed in the concept of limited government and something closer to the original Constitutional Republic. His rhetoric was matched by implementation of important conservative policies such as lowering the income tax rates, giving other tax breaks for business, and taking a harder line in the Cold War. After Carter's four ugly years, culminating with the...

(I found these series written on gather, I found them helpful in understanding what is going on in the USA right now) Cultural Revolution and Political Radicalism in the Sixties In reaction to what was increasingly perceived as narcissistic materialism and humanitarian complacency of adults by the post-war "Baby Boom" generation of teenagers and twenty-somethings, the narrow victory of moderate Democrat John F. Kennedy over Richard Nixon heralded the beginning of a new era of government power and influence. Now government offered the possibility of not only curbing abuses of big business, but also and especially ending war and protecting...

(My Friend gave me pression to list these. I have found his series beneficial in what is going on in the USA) Historically, Socialism in one form or another - that is government controlling key parts of the economy - has been more popular whenever an economic crisis has occurred. Government power is easily and naturally considered the best option to end the crisis, because its sovereignty offers the widest variety of possible ways to change the functioning of the economy. The downside, particularly cost and the possibly irreversible loss of economic freedom, are often ignored and always downplayed by...

(This is part three of a series of seven articles from my friends wrings. I found his writings to being very informative.) Here I'm going to consider the history of the American "left," that is political movements to change the political system created under the US Constitution since 1791. For brevity's sake I'm going to confine discussion to post-Civil War up to the present, and mainly only consider larger, more popular movements. Populism: Farmers For Inflation The first large scale post-Civil War organized political effort for government intervention into the economy which was not about providing opportunities for freed slaves...

(This was written by my friend which gave me permission to share.) The current adminiatration and now the "Occupy" movement have been accused of leaning as far left as it is possible to do, which means Marxism aka Communism aka International or Global Socialism, or alternatively National Socialism or Anarchism. But how can anyone decide if there is any truth in that accusation, or even determine if it is good or bad for America, if they don't know what those terms mean? This is part two of my effort to explain how these extremist movements have become what they are...

The current adminiatration has been accused of leaning as far left as it is possible to do, which means they like Marxism aka Communism aka International Socialism or Global Socialism. But how can anyone know if that is a bad thing, or even decide if there is any truth in the accusation, if they don't know what it is? Karl Marx and His Time 1818-1883 Marx lived in Europe during the nineteenth century. That was a time when massive economic change was occurring due to the industrial revolution, when production of goods was being vastly increased using machines driven by...

Friends and family I received this in my email this week and thought it may be of interest to you. April 28, 2011 Dear Friend of Israel, Beginning at sundown on Saturday, April 30 through sundown on Sunday, May 1, Jews around the world will observe Yom Ha'Shoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates the most terrible chapter in modern Jewish history. Motivated by an overwhelming and fanatical hatred of Jews, and seeking to remove from German society anyone deemed "undesirable," the Nazi regime that ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945 launched a brutal and methodical campaign to destroy the...

Tea Party Patriots and Concerned Taxpayers, we need to show Governor Walker of Wisconsin that we are able to fill those teachers who may not return to work soon. I am asking you to tell your teaching friends who want to teach the children real education and who understand that Wisconsin can not continue to be strong armed by the unions who are helping to drive Wisconsin into the hole financially to please email, or mail their resumes into Governor Walker with a note that shows your support for his plan on helping fix the budget of his state. Let...

Great question, and my great answer is hell no. Not after Saturday with them blaming the Tea Party and Palin for the attacks on Rep. Giffords and the other people that were shot dead by a mentally unstable man who had nothing to do with the Tea Party or Palin. Sadly I still see liberals still blaming the Right and Palin for this tragic event. Also I would love for you to watch this clip of Bill O'Reilly interview of Bernie Goldberg. His explanation of why he doesn't see any kind of debate won't follow is the best given answer...

This is a message to my friends here on gather as well to my friends on Facebook and Twitter. We need to resolve to not stop to cleanse our government of the liberal progressive ilk who have flooded our Federal, state, and local governments. Right now during this lame duck session they are flooding the Federal government with a whole bunch of pork, seeing that their days are numbered. Obama has woken up the sleeping giant and we can not fall a sleep again. So my posting here is on ways we continue to cleanse our country of the liberal...

Now they are going a step further by putting their hands down our pants, all in the name of fighting terror. They have no problem feeling us up, but for some reason can't secure our border. To see the video follow the link http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978700479

It saddens me that this link is never discussed with abortions and breast cancers. And the secret is kept from women so they can continue the high rates of abortion. Well anyways you can read this info yourself at the following link. If you still decide to have an abortion you do it at your own risk. Microbiologist: Hundreds of Studies Confirm Abortion-Breast Cancer Link by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com Editor September 21, 2010 His first article reviews a 1997 epidemiological study by Julie Palmer, Lynn Rosenberg and their colleagues, "Induced and spontaneous abortion in relation to breast cancer," published in...
