Several years ago, President Barack Obama's political team inaugurated an interesting holiday tradition when they advised Americans to talk about health care policy over Thanksgiving dinner. They were amateurs. After this year's election, with everyone hot to tell their relatives in America's heartland about the errors of their ways, Thanksgiving is going pro. A few talking points to help you:

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government. Jarrett’s dad, pathologist and geneticist Dr. James Bowman, had extensive ties to Communist associations and individuals, his lengthy FBI file shows. In 1950 Bowman was in communication with a paid Soviet agent named Alfred Stern, who fled to Prague after getting charged with espionage. Bowman was also a member of a Communist-sympathizing group called the Association of Internes and Medical Students. After his discharge from...

Just when you thought the Mullah-butt-licking Obama regime couldn't be any more deeply infiltrated. Somehow the newspapers never had much to say about this, and when forced to -i.e. wedding announcements- the Iranian ancestry and birthplace of Vanessa Kerry's husband are -untypically- omitted. So as Obama and John Kerry set-out to strike a grand bargain with the Mullahs (and flush Israel down the drain), you would think this to be a pertinent fact, one that really ought to be public- or at least it would have been back before this country began to forget anything that ever mattered (and how the world works).  With deep Muslim infiltration of our...

A hereditary monarch, observed Thomas Paine, is as absurd a proposition as a hereditary doctor or mathematician. But try pointing this out when everybody is seemingly moist with excitement about the cake plans and gown schemes of the constitutional absurdity's designated mother-to-be. You don't seem to be uttering common sense. You sound like a Scrooge. I suppose this must be the monarchical "magic" of which we hear so much: By some mystic alchemy, the breeding imperatives for a dynasty become the stuff of romance, even "fairy tale." The usually contemptuous words fairy tale were certainly coldly accurate about the romance...

ROME (Reuters) – A Sicilian man stole sweets and a packet of chewing gum so he could get arrested and spend New Year's Eve in a jail cell rather than be with his wife and relatives, Italian media reported on Friday. The 35-year old Sicilian first showed up at a police station on Thursday asking to be arrested because he preferred spending the night in prison rather than with his family, but was rebuffed because he had not committed a crime, the Agi news agency said.

VIENNA — An Austrian court has convicted a man for killing his in-laws by setting them on fire with a homemade flame-thrower.

A deer hunter became a hero on opening day after he rescued a man who was stuck up to his chest in muddy water in Sherburne County. According to officials, 60-year-old Peter Schmidt, of Orrock Township, saved the life of a hunter from Big Lake. Schmidt heard 26-year-old Matthew Capko yelling from inside the National Wildlife Refuge. "I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and walked into a bog," Capko said. "It was kind of like quicksand." Stuck waist-deep, Capko realized his cell phone was too wet to use. He fired off a couple of shotgun rounds in...

It occured to me I can not be the only Freeper with inlaw issues that are driving a wedge between myself and other family members, in my case my inlaws.

Fall out from the recent Reid lies are driving a wedge between family members. Considering...

IT SOUNDS like the television anchorwoman’s ultimate nightmare. Take lavatory break. Leave personal microphone on. Have cloakroom gossip — including how much you hate your sister-in-law — broadcast live in excruciating detail during a nationally televised speech by President Bush. CNN was forced to apologise yesterday after such a fate befell Kyra Phillips, whose trenchant views on her brother’s wife, mixed with the sound of zips and running water, drowned out Mr Bush as he spoke live from New Orleans to mark the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Her inadvertent comments gave the name of her show, Live From, a...
