Free Republic

Senator Cornyn, I have voted for you every time you have faced election since coming to Texas 21 years ago. However, now you are negotiating away my rights and those of my family and fellow citizens. The very idea (let alone the practical application) of a "Red Flag" law is in violation of the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments - and giving tax dollars to the states to do that dirty deed would be just as gross of a violation of those rights by operation of the 14th Amendment. Senator Cornyn, you KNOW this - you were on...

Palin / Perry 2012.

It's all the rage!

Can we just all play nice? Never mind the fact that the rats have spent the last 8 years...DO NOT EVER FORGET THOSE YEARS...crapping on President Bush and Vice President Cheney and plan to continue. Be nice, will you? What kind of rotten hateful people are you anyway? Obama is OUR president, so it's time to get behind him...even though we have no effing idea who he is (well, we have some idea but not because of disclosure). Just give him the benefit of the doubt, he is above making simple disclosures to us mere plebes. It is disrespectful, and...

Commentary by Daniel T. Zanoza, Executive Director So, it happens again, this time at Northern Illinois University. Five students are killed by a mad man, numerous others are wounded and then the killer takes his own life. For the next few weeks, we will be hearing loads of speculation as to why. Some will blame the DeKalb, Illinois killings on guns. Some will say the lack of guns at the University prevented school security from defending the innocent. And then some will go into the deeper, psychological explanations for why these young people kill. But many will miss the mark....

The economy's growth has never before been so driven by real estate. Now that engine is sputtering. Jiany Massad isn't quite ready to throw in the towel on his fledgling career as a Miami real-estate tycoon. But if the local housing market continues to head south, the 30-year-old real-estate broker is already making alternate plans. "I might restart my old business," he says of a home decorating company that specialized in high-end window treatments. "At least it's real-estate-related." With home sales down by nearly a third in Florida last quarter, thousands of those who hoped to cash in on the...

When Jesus was living, he did not align himself with the Jewish religious parties, then called Saducees and Pharisees, nor the secular authorities: King Herod and Rome. He obeyed the Mosaic law and even paid tribute. He told Nicodemus, an old man that he had to be born again to be saved. Jesus meant born spiritually. Jesus preached that this spiritual new baby would be then, dead to the world, living in the world but not of it. He pointed out that worrying about the future was not what a Christian would be doing because tomorrow has enough worries to...

This is different. This post isn't about what I have gleemed from some 'news-source' today. This post is about HOW do you convince your friends, your family .. your loved ones that "There Is A Crisis" in America and that this crisis continues to grow, each and every day..regardless of whether they believe it or not! The only thing that any of them believe in is: Our Government. I would like to give you the whole story, how I have tried and finally given up, given up in trying to convince my family, my loved ones that we are at...

Finally. After years with no agenda or even publically stating what they stood for other than "Bush hatred" the Democrats finally decide on what their parties important values are and also have released a short but detailed list of those values. Most of you who read this will probably recognize this list. Trust me, they aren't exactly original. Asked why it took them until the 6th year into the Bush administration to finally settle on their core values. A democratic strategist was quoted saying: "All the other things were claimed by the "Christians" and "Jews" or considered hate speech. Not...

if all they can think to do is build walls on our borders instead of defending them, ladder sales will really pickup

I was a long-time, once very active member of Free republic. My screen name was DEFcon4, and I belonged to the N.E.Chapter of Free Republic, we travelled to DC to attend FR rallies, and freeped Clinton numerous times. Voted for Bush Senior, and W on his first election. I am a tried and true PATRIOT. I believe in the greatness of the USA, in which I grew up in. I am not a liberal, conservative, democrat, republican, or any other label that people like to try to pidgeonhole others with - I am a patriot of our country. When I...
