Free Republic

Something to ponder over,something probably no one has taken notice of.Just look at some of the politics/activists/actors of whom society deems as clowns,dimwits,bigoted,blockheads,etc.What is going on with the names that have "Al" in them?.Here are some of the culprits. Gore,Roker,Sharpten,Franken,Colmes,Baldwin,Grayson,and last but not least, "Al Bundy" {King Of All Al's}.So is it same to assume that "Al" will someday join the "Retired Names List"?,where names like Morty,Gaylord and Barney have been added over the decades.

And who doesn't recall the laughable moment when Al Roker mentioned Global Warming as the cause of "Sandy". Yet the left hasn't given up trying to convince all of us that we are going thru an intense Global Warming Period! Fine, so where are they now?,Maybe the far left can explain why Texas looks more like the South Pole and the East is already seeing typical January weather in December!

The 2014 State Of The Union is likely to have excellent ratings being over 100 million Americans will be wondering or making bets on whether Obama will bring up any aspect of his health-care plan. Can anyone imagine if the week of the SOTU the site is still non-functional and not even close to one million enrollees? At least we will all be laughing at the speech being most Americans know when their leader is lying to them.Get your popcorn and Big Gulp ready! at least we will be watching Joe Biden fall asleep 23 minutes into the speech.

I received the follow e-mail from grassfire and thought I'd pass it on. If you don’t know who grassfire is, I'm guessing you’re a troll. Dear XXXX: I have a bit of a dilemma... As of this morning, I have 45,000 Quotes & Votes booklets sitting at the printer ready to be shipped that still lack financial sponsorship. These booklets have been requested by Grassfire team members in key battleground states who are ready and willing to get them into the hands of key voters. But that's just the beginning of my dilemma... We have received so many requests that...

This is a serious question and I respectfully ask for serious, thoughtful responses from the most ardent McCain detractors and not the casually disgusted. If you are only casually disgusted, please refrain from mucking up the thread and allow only the truly bulemic to air their rationale. I am not a McCain supporter, never have been probably never will be. That he will be the eventual GOP nominee is all but assured and that I might find I must vote for him if only to counter an Obama or Clinton administration, well, that's my decision and one I hope you...

Education The public education situation in this country has become a chronic example of wasteful and ineffective government spending. It is a travesty that we have to relinquish our tax dollars to under-educate and indoctrinate our children. The public school system’s standards are so low that we have high school students who literally cannot read. The majority of the public school students have no idea about world events, government, geography, history, or grammar. On the flip-side, their knowledge of modern pop-culture is amazing.The Republican idea of vouchers lends a solution to the failed school system. This idea has been fought...

Texas longhorn If you ever have to “grab a bull by the horns” try a Texas longhorn. Considering that my first post was critical of SF Chronicle's depiction of USMC General Mattis – but somehow got into a vanity section – I wouldn’t be surprised that this too gets reclassified the same way. According to some members here, I invited the Wrath of Gods upon myself on account of: a) being new – not knowing the ropes b) having posted a vanity as my first article c) me being a pink, pro-communist, liberal threat to security of the United States...
