Free Republic

That would be a zero from me nor do I know anyone infected from it? Have you checked what the death count is per million in your State? My State of North Carolina is currently 19 dead per million people. There are 330 million people in the U.S. conservatively. This does not include illegal aliens which is probably another 40 to 50 million? It is not the fake 11 million number the media has been using since the late 1980s. Nevertheless, we will stick to the 330 million. Right now the death count in the USA is 40,565 in the...

I think that we should have one thread where everybody on Free Republic Can list their concerns about the Coronavirus. It’s simply becoming too time consuming to keep up with all the different Coronavirus concern threads that keep popping up every few minutes. This way, we can all be on the record on one thread with our concerns about the Coronavirus.

Pretty simple reason as to why Trump polls poorly. The Cruzbots, Paulbots, Bernbots, Trump-haters will vote for anyone but Trump in online polls to boost their candidate's appearance as electable. Why do Bernie & Ron Paul 2008 & 2012 & Cruz have ridiculous polls with them beating Trump or Obama or Clinton by 12 points?

Last night, instead of focusing on True Detective, I ended up getting into a bit of a flame war on Twitter with some Donald Trump supporters.  Oh my, those people have no clue and you really couldn't pin them down on anything.  Ask a simple question like "how do you know Trump will govern as a conservative?" and the responses you get are "do your homework", "you're not very bright are you" and "Trump/Cruz is the only hope for this country".  The last is would only be true if your hope is for a historic route of the Republican Party. ...

Any single incident where an unarmed civilian is gunned down is one too many

An interesting article from a former Obama supporter. Lots to agree with, but also lots to disagree with. What do nine dead Gaza activists in the Mediterranean, nine-plus percent unemployment, and ninety years of oil catastrophe clean-up have in common? How about one astonishingly tepid president? How about one guy in the White House who squirms in his chair anytime someone uses the word "bold" and actually means it? How about one dude in the Oval Office who seems much more interested in making deals to determine who should be the Democratic candidates for various state offices than in actually...

Maybe it's just me, but what's the first thing comes to your mind?

Chris Matthews debuts his hour long program of The Rise of the New Right

She was FORCED out for financial reasons. If anyone tells you she quit let them know otherwise. Her legal fee had accumulated higher than 500K. Her personal income was JUST OVER 100K a year. Financially her family was going under quickly. And they were filing another ethics complaint everytime she left the state. She was afraid to give interviews in the governors office. She was afraid to allow anyone other than staff in the Governors office after the TaserGate ordeal. They were destroying her. So, what were her options ? She tried to set up a legal defense fund. At...

Okay, now that Helen Thomas is going back "home" to Lebanon in shame we need a new pic, who will Helen Thomas's replacement be? The winner will receive dinner and a movie from their favorite Fox News Babe (or hunk if you're a woman).

Here's a rumour that I haven't heard yet: BP feels that due to the huge loss of livelihoods along the coast line that it is the right thing to do - to relocate their global headquarters to the worst hit coastal community to help replace the lost jobs... BP executives feel that they should literally live with their consequences... This is not an excerpt.

I am boiling over at the picture cnn.com posted of Benjamin Netanyahu. And CNN wonders why it's in last place??

This is a Public Courtesy Announcement. Yes, Martial Law might well involve Marshalls, but the root of it is from Mars, the God of War, in other words "Martial Law". http://www.answers.com/topic/martial-law

I am tired of seeing this HUGE picture of this shave head woman on each thread I click on.

The Times Square Terrorist has been charged with ATTEMPTED USE OF A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION. NOW, IF THE TIMES SQUARE TERRORIST'S CAR BOMB IS CONSIDERED BY THE U.S. DOJ AS A "WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION," THEN WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OF THOSE SAME CAR BOMBS WERE PRESENT IN IRAQ WHEN GEORGE BUSH SAID THERE WERE WMD IN IRAQ? GO FIGURE.

What is going on the past few weeks? We have a torpedoed South Korean ship, a mysterious explosion in the Gulf of Mexico on an oil rig, a failed bomb attempt in NY city, and now a failed bomb attempt in Pittsburgh.

O'Reilly! Just shut up!

Is it just me or is Google against the Tea Parties? When I go and do a search for Chicago tea party for example, the most prominent results are all by liberal mouth pieces putting down our efforts. HMMMM! What do you think?

Weird stuff seems to go with major comets. When a comet appeared in A.D. 60, the people of Rome assumed it meant the impending death of their still new emperor, Nero. He responded by exiling a potential rival. When another comet turned up just 4 years later, ancient historians say he ordered the execution of dozens of nobles. It is said that Moctezuma II saw a comet in 1517 that foreshadowed the downfall of Aztec empire. In 1910, a wave of hysteria swept over the United States amid reports that Earth was about to pass through Halley's tail.

I may be alone on this, but as a lifelong independent conservative I don't know how anyone can compare Palin to Jindal. Don't get me wrong - I love Palin as a person and I love her positions on the issues. But some of the interviews were just embarrasing. I dislike Gibson and Couric more than anyone, but at times she was non-sensical or just plain empty in her answers and that can't be blamed on anyone but Palin. I have seen others have their conservatism questioned because they have reservations about Palin. Just because someone has conservative positions that...
