Free Republic

Happy Dependence Day! That is Dependence, D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-C-E , with a capital "D". Prompted by the Treason of the US Chief Justice in support of a radical communist Muslim US president whose assigned mission is to collapse the US economy and install socialist government infrastructure at every level, while signing over US sovereignty to a child-molesting atheist mental-case in Belgium, I just want to wish Freepers everywhere a Happy Dependence Day. By the power invested in me by my dog, Ranger, I hereby unilaterally declare that July 4th shall henceforth be known as "Dependence Day", when we celebrate the loss of...

Salve My dear friends. As you have travel in so many political upheavals around your life, you have seen destruction of your Republic. From one point to another, you have seen degenerations of thoughts as well great thinking of good well behaved American People. While you ponder an those thoughts, and being in so many disagreements about candidates, one point is clear: you must fight for truth. I have been watching very closely of situation that has become in proper word, abhorrent, of homosexuals and others trying to push you in agenda, that is frankly disturbing and well attack on...

Democrats who already were queasy about the site of their national convention could be excused after Tuesday's election in North Carolina if they asked, "Tell me again just why we're going to Charlotte this year?" In fact, many Democrats privately are asking exactly that after the state's voters overwhelmingly approved a measure outlawing not just same-sex marriage -- which already was illegal in North Carolina -- but also any form of civil unions. Almost immediately after the vote, more than 20,000 people signed a "move the convention" petition being pushed by a New York group called Gay Marriage USA. And...

A couple weeks ago, the House Homeland Security Committee, under the leadership of Rep. Peter King (R-NY), held hearings on radicalization in American Muslim communities. It was hardly the replay of the McCarthy hearings that many on the left had hoped for. And so, aside from Rep Ellison’s tearful testimony, the hearing itself received less extensive press coverage than the lead up. The upside to this is that the Committee had the opportunity to do just as Mr. King suggested: look dispassionately at radicalization – a problem many Muslims themselves will tell you greatly concerns them. The downside is that...

Holy God these speeches are so damn boring. At one point I fell asleep and when I woke up he was talking about railway and sputnik, I honestly thought thought that I woke up in 1958. Thank God my laptop was sitting on my lap and I was staring at a 44 inch LCD TV. Anyway, as far as I could tell this is what the President wanted me to take from his speech: 1. We’re re-launching Sputnik. 2. Trains are going to be the vehicle that takes us into the 22nd century. 3. Europe is beating us because they...

1. The English language too often falls short of what I want to express; perhaps I need to learn more Russian… 2. Recently, President Obama referred to the Democratic thumping at the polls, saying: “Making an argument that people can understand, I think that we haven’t always been successful at that. And I take personal responsibility for that. And it’s something that I’ve got to examine carefully … as I go forward.” So the end state isn’t the problem Americans have with his agenda, it’s his phrasing of that end state. I suppose we’re all just too dumb to understand…...

(CNSNews.com) - Chai Feldblum, the Georgetown University law professor nominated by President Obama to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, has written that society should “not tolerate” any “private beliefs,” including religious beliefs, that may negatively affect homosexual “equality.” Feldblum, whose nomination was advanced in a closed session of the Senate Health Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on December 12, published an article entitled “Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion” in the Brooklyn Law Review in 2006. “Just as we do not tolerate private racial beliefs that adversely affect African-Americans in the commercial arena, even if such...

WASHINGTON – The Republican Party's national chairman says he's had no thoughts of resigning despite criticism of his first-year performance and controversy about his recent book that takes shots at the GOP. Michael Steele is apologizing for not alerting Republicans in advance about the book's release. In the book, he accuses GOP leaders of abandoning conservative principles over the past decade. Steele also is defending his record as party chairman, saying he's "pushing the ball" for the GOP and helping the party win elections and raise money.

Christians talk a lot about redemption and salvation. But what does redemption actually mean and what is accomplished in redemption? These pivotal questions are answered in John Murray’s book Redemption Accomplished and Applied. “What does redemption mean? It does not mean redeemability, that we are placed in a redeemable position. It means that Christ purchased and procured redemption. This is the triumphant note of the New Testament whenever it plays on the redemptive chord. Christ redeemed us to God by his blood (Rev. 5:9). He obtained eternal redemption (Heb 9:12)… It is to beggar the concept of redemption as an...

Model of the brain-machine interface for real-time synthetic speech production. The stroke-induced lesion (red X) disables speech output, but speech motor planning in the cerebral cortex remains intact. Signals collected from an electrode in the speech motor cortex are amplified and sent wirelessly across the scalp as FM radio signals. The Neuralynx System amplifies, converts, and sorts the signals. The neural decoder then translates the signals into speech commands for the speech synthesizer. Credit: Guenther, et al. (PhysOrg.com) -- By implanting an electrode into the brain of a person with locked-in syndrome, scientists have demonstrated how to wirelessly transmit neural...

"But now let us fall down before the majesty of our good God, with acknowledgment of our faults, praying him to acquaint us more and more with them, that we may be brought to true repentance. And let us condemn ourselves and seek to find in our Lord Jesus Christ all that we need, and that not for one day, or for a mere brief moment, but continually and steadfastly to our life’s end. And whatever happens to us, let us always assure ourselves that we have good cause to praise our God, and that even if we are poor...

Now, I can see where many of you would think this was a terrible thing to go through. You’re right, it is terrible but it has also been a time of great blessings. God has definitely taught me some valuable lessons about how our thoughts effect us. I want to share with you what I learned first hand, and I pray it will have a positive effect on your life as well.

So far, I’ve given you the view from Main Street, USA. But now I’d like to share with you how a Common Sense Conservative sees the world at large. Later this year, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – an event that changed not just Europe but the entire world. In a matter of months, millions of people in formerly captive nations were freed to pursue their individual and national ambitions. The competition that defined the post World War II era was suddenly over. What was once called “the free world” had so...

HITLER QUOTES REVEAL OBAMA and REGIME 1 Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it 2 How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.” 3 All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” 4 “He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.” 5 By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise. 6 “It is always more...

Thoughts on an Air Force One photoshop contest proving that the scare over New York did NOT have to happen. Arlen gone, Biden gaffes, what's a bigwig and how did the name come about? This and intriguing comments all ending with a smile.

So Obama pre-empts American Idol for the SECOND time. And for what? More spending, more robbery of the U.S. Treasury. Also, a phallus on the roof? A ban on bestiality? Good Guy of the Week from England. We need to import them now. Many more Thoughts of the Week.

A poor Obama supporter having regrets.... I guess he isn't what he thought they were...

If you thought SuperBowl 2009 was the greatest ever, you'll love our exclusive video of the action plus some vid of the great halftime show. Also, tax dodgers and why we all should just refuse to pay our taxes, damn it! Finally, Jonbenet case reopened? I've got an interesting hunch why. Many more thoughts from The Wise I.

"Jesus knew their thoughts..." Matthew 12:25 Jesus was getting ready to heal the man with a demon, and the Pharisees were indignant. They said he could only drive out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons. Earlier in the chapter the Scripture states that these same Pharisees were plotting on how they might kill Jesus. But Jesus knew their thoughts. He knew what caused them to get to this point. He knew the anger and frustration they must have felt at someone trying to “muscle in” on their territory, so to speak. He knew who was behind their vile thoughts...

Yes, yes, I know it's a vanity post! To those who are offended, please stop reading. For the rest of you, here it is... 1. The freeway overpasses into downtown Minneapolis were littered with Obamaniac sycophants waving large signs AND American flags! I rolled down my window and extended a middle finger several times as well as yelled out "Fu**ing Losers!". Yes, it was senseless and immature - and no, I'm not sorry. 2. I got a robo-call last night from Ashwin Madia's (aka Ashtray Madhatter's) campaign. He's a Dem running in the 3rd Congressional District. I live in the...
