Free Republic

Political Correctness: A member of the U.S. Army Band says he's being reprimanded for having the wrong bumper stickers on his car, serving politically incorrect food at a party and reading books by conservative authors. It seems what we read isn't just a question reserved by the IRS for its "special scrutiny" of Tea Party groups. Apparently in the U.S. Army the wrong answer to this question can lead to disciplinary action and charges by your superiors. Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers, a 25-year Army veteran and conservative Christian based at Fort Myer in Washington, D.C., is facing formal charges —...

A MODERN AMERICAN DELCARATION OF LIBERTY In establishing this Republic, our forefathers taught that man made institutions have no authority to grant or deny that which has been endowed upon us by God. They taught that unalienable rights are thus given to mankind by God, the Creator, and that governments exist not to grant or deny these rights, but to protect them. They stated that it becomes necessary in the course of human events from time to time for a people to dissolve themselves from the political bonds that hold them. They recognized and warned that a overburdensome central government...

The renowned doctor reacts to the furor over his National Prayer Breakfast speech. Dr. Ben Carson, a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon who helped lead the first surgery separating twins joined at the head, has received a fair amount of attention in his 61 years. But none of it before begins to compare to the response he has gotten since he spoke at the February 7 National Prayer Breakfast with President Obama sitting five feet away. While most of his remarks were motivational or spiritual, he made some pointed political comments about the need for freer markets in health care and a...

LATINO & BLACK AMERICANS - FOR GOD'S SAKE, WAKE UP! The pivotal election of 2012 is over. The most liberal, progressive candidate in the history of American politics, with the worst record on the economy in his first term, Barack Hussein Obama, won re-election to a second term by 1.5-2.0% of the vote. The over-riding segments of the population that enabled his victory were the Black vote (who voted for him by over 90%) and the Latino vote (who voted for him by over 70%). And they did so, absolutely against their own best interest. Oh, in the short...

FIGHT ON - NEVER WAIVER, NEVER FALTER Late on election night, November 6, 2012...actually probably early in the morning hours of November 7th at the time...well after Ohio and then Virginia were called, and then after listening to the speeches by Romney and Obama, I wrote the following and shared it with friends and groups I frequent. "God in Heaven has answered our prayers...but not the answer we hoped and prayed for. I have faith in Him, and accept His will. It just means we have to work harder, that we will probably have to endure much more, and that...

A PRAYER FOR AMERICA ON ELECTION DAY, NOVEMBER 6th, 2012 "Our Father in Heaven, we come before Thee this day in supplication, prayer, and fasting for our nation. Dear Father, forgive us of our shortcomings, both as individuals and as a nation. We pray on behalf of the tens of millions in this land whose still revere thy Name and thy Word, and who seek Thee and Thy Son. "We pray for a healing of our land, Father. This day, we in this nation, due to thy grace, kindness and love, will be able to exercise our right and duty...

I heard this in regards to the slew of state initiatives out there, it applies here too...

During the second presidential debate of 2012, President Barack Obama said, “What I’m trying to do is get a broader conversation about how we reduce the violence generally. Part of it, is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.” You can bet he meant what he said. Obama has a long history of holding anti-Second Amendment views, despite portraying himself as pro-hunter and reasonable about gun control. A second term spells trouble for law-abiding citizens wanting to exercise their right to keep and bear arms: Obama is strongly opposed to concealed carry, has supported gun owner licensing...

The polls are open on the east coast!! From this morning's election day prayer thread: "Heavenly Father may you forgive this nation and its people for the many awful sins that we have commited against you. We do not deserve the wonderful ways we have been blessed and please forgive us for our indifference,neglect and complacency towards you. May you forgive us who are members of your Church who have neglected our calling and commitment to you to be effective witnesses and stewards of the many blessings you have generously bestowed upon us. Many of us have cried out to...

Overseas authoritarians prefer a U.S. president willing to bow to their willThe Russians, Chinese and Iranians would vote for Barack Obama. That’s a good reason for Americans to select someone else. Polls and informal surveys from around the world show that if foreigners could vote in the U.S. election, President Obama would win hands down. “The One” may have lost some of the luster he had four years ago, when simply showing up was good enough for him to land a Nobel Peace Prize, but he’s still popular overseas. That’s because many countries resent a robust White House, and adversary...

Washington Redskins are losing at home to Carolina in the 4th quarter.

That according to a National Security Council spokesman. Rick Moran breaks down the past few days (via Doug Ross): The CIA is denying. The Pentagon is denying. And now the White House is denying that anyone refused to send help to our embattled CIA and State Department personnel engaged in a seven hour running firefight with more than 150 jihadists.It just doesn’t get any lamer than this: The White House on Saturday flatly denied that President Barack Obama withheld requests for help from the besieged American compound in Benghazi, Libya, as it came under on attack by suspected terrorists on...

IT'S TIME TO STAND OBAMA DOWN 'Nuff said. Please share if you are so inclined.

WALKING AL QUIDA IN BENGHAZIWHY AMBASSADOR STEVENS AND THREE OTHER AMERICANS DIED(Update october 24, 2012) As horrible as it may be to contemplate, is it possible that the gruesome death of our Ambassador in Benghazi was acutally a part of a Al Quida Gun Running scheme gone horribly awry? I believe that somehow it could be something along those line, because of all the unanswered questions there, the unbelievably chaotic and rushed manner in which the Obama administration tried to cover it up...and continued to cover it up well past all rational thinking would indicate that they were doing...

OBAMA'S SNIDE AND CONTEMPTUOUS INSULT OF MITT ROMNEY'S PLAN FOR THE US NAVY President Obama made a very contemptuous, snide comment to Mitt Romney at the foriegn policy debate on October 22, 2012. It involved Romney's plan to increase the size of the US Navy to over 312 ships. I have read this plan and it is very detailed and it is in repsone to the US Navy leadership indicating that it needed 350 ships to meet its needs. Obama had used the same arguement, that the Militray requested it, to defend his own miltary plans. His plans were...

Fox special, "Death and Deceit in Benghazi," to be re-broadcast at 1AM Eastern Time on Fox. If you can...watch it.

Folks, is it possible that the gruesome murder of our Ambassador in Benghazi was acutally the beginnings of an October surprize gone horribly awry? I believe that somehow, because of all the unanswered questions there...because of the unbelievably chaotic and rushed manner in which the Obama administration tried to cover it up...and continued to cover it up well past all rational thinking would indicate that they were doing ss...and because of just common sense questions, questions like: Why were new security requests for Benghazi denied after two recent attacks, one by an IED in June that left a 40ft...

This posting updates the GretaWire posting at 3:25pm. My FNC colleage Sarah Courtney just spoke to Kerry Ladka (the man who asked the Libya question at last night’s Presidential debate.) I have highlighted in red text what I think odd — why did he pedal that video/protest story? The terrorism happened Sept 11…..and the President was pedaling it as late as Sept 18 on David Letterman and then September 25 at the UN. It is weird that he is saying that he wanted ‘all the information’ yet was going out with, at best, misinformation. Here are the notes from her...

President Barack Obama declared during Tuesday’s presidential debate that his goals as president include the reinstatement of a so-called “assault weapons ban” in the United States. As part of a plan to reduce street violence in cities — including in his own hometown of Chicago — Obama proposed “seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced.”This appears to be among the boldest pro-gun-control comments Obama has made as president, and the first time has has openly called for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban. “So my belief is that, A, we have to enforce the laws we’ve...

I never imagined seeing, in my life-time, a sitting President being caught on a live microphone and video consorting secretly with the Prime Minister of Russia, telling him to be patient and let the Russian President, Vladamir Putin, a former KGB leader and someone who is very ill disposed towards the United States of America, telling Medvedev to let Putin know that after he gets past the election he will not have to worry about the voters and would be much more flexible regarding US Security negotiations. Or, that a sitting American President, when a US Consulate is abjectly attacked...
