Free Republic

(video at link) Hi. I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. It’s getting really embarrassing. It’s hard to believe this is America. The media no longer print the truth; they just print whatever lies make President Obama look best. Are we living in a banana republic, where the media covers up for a tin-pot dictator named Obama? What Obama is doing to the economy, to jobs, to free markets, to capitalism, to the greatest middle class in world history is a crime so vile it makes Bernie Madoff look like a small-time, amateur pickpocket. The economy is a disastrous mess....

It is the crime of the century that America, home to some of the world’s greatest reserves of coal, natural gas and oil, is being deliberately destroyed by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Interior as they do everything in their power to restrict access and drive energy producers out of business. It is common sense that a nation that cannot produce sufficient electricity to turn on its lights and power its manufacturing sector will be destroyed if current Obama administration regulations and actions continue. Our vital transportation sector and all others that utilize petroleum-based products will...

Rip Van Obama President Obama went into a deep slumber in December. When he woke up this January, he found himself back even in the polls, with neither a press conference nor another overhyped presidential televised address to be heard. Sleep, quiet, and solitude — all that appears wiser than campaigning, visibility, and speaking, both for Obama and Americans. In short, the president has really hit on something: an Obama going into a Rip Van Winkle somnolent state might just mean waking up again as president. If conservatives once alleged that Obama got elected as Being There’s Chauncey Gardiner —...

(CNSNews.com) -- Three people convicted of crimes as a result of a terrorism-related investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) were later naturalized as U.S. citizens by the Obama administration, according to federal auditors. The March 2011 audit (released on April 21, 2011) by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), entitled Criminal Alien Statistics: Information on Incarcerations, Arrests and Costs, shows that three individuals were among “defendants where the investigation involved an identified link to international terrorism but they were charged with violating other statutes [not directly related to terrorism], including fraud, immigration, drugs, false statements, and general conspiracy charges,” referred...

As usual, Americans approve of a State of the Union speech. But this speech will be remembered not for anything that was said but for where people sat, and for the fact that a new man sat behind the president for the first time, House Speaker John Boehner, who, if he leads well in the next year, could be in that camera shot long after President Obama has retired. It would be puff talk to label the speech pedestrian. There was nothing new at all in the speech, and quite a lot recycled from old Team Obama rhetoric. In the...

The culture wars continue between the moral and immoral., between truth and deception, between the eternal reality and fleeting vapors of smoke.......we will all have a day of reckoning From the moment the good citizens of this country heard what took place in Arizona, President Barack Obama said nothing to admonish the media or the investigating sheriff for openly defaming innocent people who had nothing to do with the deaths and life-threatening injuries perpetrated by a lone gunman. Obama, who has repeatedly ignored the will of the people for two years now, looked the other way as his cohorts blamed...

Conservatives have talked wistfully for years about eliminating the Education Department, but a host of Republican "tea party" candidates this election year are saying it's time to move beyond talk and force Congress to vote. From West Virginia to Kentucky to Nevada, GOP Senate candidates have said they favor elimination of the Cabinet office, created as a separate department by President Carter in 1979 to elevate the federal government's profile on what had been considered a primarily local concern. Senate candidate Rand Paul, in his Republican primary campaign in Kentucky, was among the first tea-party-backed candidates to revive the idea...

<p>Commission, tells National Review Online that, “frankly, I’m pissed off.”</p> <p>“President Obama just doesn’t get it,” says Lehman. “I don’t think he has a clue. It’s all pure spin. He’s ignoring key issues and taking respectable professionals like John Brennan and turning them into hacks and shills. It’s beyond contempt.”</p>

The Obama administration has come under fire from critics who said the president waited too long to address the nation publicly about the Christmas Day terror plot, and that his administration has not been tough enough on terrorism. The mostly partisan attacks came after Friday's attempt by a Nigerian national to blow up Northwest Flight 253 as it approached Detroit. Terror plots in the past have tended to unite the two parties, but recent attacks have departed from that norm. President Obama has ordered a sweeping review of how the suspect managed to board the flight from Amsterdam, but that...

FBI agents are investigating the Somali pirates who hijacked a U.S. ship and are holding its captain hostage, U.S. officials said Saturday, raising the possibility of federal charges against the men if they are captured.
