Free Republic

Sarah Palin's record as governor of Alaska has largely gone unchallenged by conservatives, despite the fact that one of her signature legacies was imposing an oil profits tax -- a distinctly liberal idea. Now, Republicans in the state Legislature and Palin's own Republican replacement, Gov. Sean Parnell, have scored a victory in an attempt to reverse her tax hike. Democrats, though, stood strong with Palin in opposing any rollback on the tax hike.

Conservative superstar Sarah Palin opened the door yesterday to joining forces with Mitt Romney for a 2012 White House run - a hot ticket that has some Republicans licking their chops at the prospect of unseating President Obama. “Sounds pretty good,” Palin declared at yesterday’s Tea Party Express rally on the Common when asked about pairing up with the former Bay State governor - giving the idea a big thumbs-up as she left the stage after her headline speech. Last night, as Palin stopped for cannoli at Mike’s Pastry in the North End, she said she was “serious” about the...

U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, whose stunning victory in January was fueled in part by Tea Party anger, has snubbed the fiery grassroots group and declined its invitation to join Sarah Palin Wednesday at a massive rally on Boston Common, the Herald has learned. Brown’s decision to skip the first big rally in Boston by the group whose members are credited with helping him win election has some experts saying he’s tossed the Tea Party overboard, as he prepares for re-election in 2012.

The Obama administration's nuclear posture review may have removed some of the intentional ambiguity from U.S. nuclear policy, but it does not leave the country any less safe, President Obama's top national security advisers said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

"We don't want more countries to go down the path that...

As we Americans are all in this together, I am going to endeavor as the God Inspired Lame Cherry to produce a series of doctrines as I have been led to do. In this, I by God's Grace, am naming this one the Sarah Palin Doctrine, as we are all Americans seeking the best, and as she is in the leadership and I as a humble servant of the Lord am in the boiling pot chambers, it is fitting that this is handled this way as Gov. Palin is a brilliantly inspired Lady and it is in this hope that...

About a month ago I heard that Tina Fey was going to host the “Saturday Night Live” and reprise her role of Sarah Palin, my first though was how dumb and foolish and knew before it was going to air that it would fail to generate the same reaction of mockery and derision as it did in 2008 whether it was funny or not, because mockery is easy when things are not going so well for those being targeted, when Republicans are running away from the (R) behind their names, when it’s ‘Bush this, Bush that’, when an economic crash...
