    Okay Free Republic has been the best place for libertarian and conservative ideas for decades. And truly my place to post and view comments. X is more evolved and many also love that forum. Any suggestions that could keep FR relevant. It seems it will be a 'dinosaur' of the 90's if nothing changes. To be clear - FR is truly the best website. Simply stating it may be gone soon - 'can't fence time and change'.
  • MAKE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, TRUMP WAS SET UP BY THE SECRET SERVICE

    07/13/2024 8:04:43 PM PDT · by OneVike · 150 replies
    So many questions must be asked, and we cannot let the deep-state bury this like they did JFK's assassination. This was a setup, and unlike 1963, we have more than a sketchy 8mm Zapruder film as evidence. Why was Trump not allowed more protection? Why was the shooter allowed to climb to a roof for a clear shot? Why did the Secret Service sniper wait until after the would be assassin took his shotes to he was taken out? Why did the authorities not jump into action the moment the red headed Trump supporter told them a guy with...

    Im not enjoying the free republic lime I used to. Too many newbies that are trolls, looking for someone to drag into their abyss of self hatred. Theres been a lot of posts linked to posters with no bios, I think admin needs to limit the number of posts or remove those without any bio info.
  • When Does Live Begin? [Vanity]

    When does life begin? I think most agree that eggs and sperm individually by themseves is not life. By many standards it starts at conception, when they join and become an embryo. Or, is it when there is a heartbeat? Or, later when viable? Or, at birth? If Christian, then thou shall not kill. But what does that mean? At conception? Maybe when implanted (but what about in the not to far future, when a baby might be grown in an artifical womb? What about when faked in a mentally ill man?). Once there is a heartbeat? Once viable? Once...
  • Was JFK the last REAL president?

    FR ^ | Nov 22 | RandFan
    Alex Jones often says he was the last REAL president in the sense that they could (back then) actually run things, make decisions/appointments, decide policy etc. Since that fateful day his thesis is that all the presidents have been puppets. Every one of them with the possible exception of Trump who they used impeachment (twice!) / conviction to keep in line. Is there any truth to this do you think?

  • The Trump Question

    08/24/2023 1:06:51 AM PDT · by redheadedshannon · 63 replies
    There's a big question confronting all right-wingers about American conservatism & our national future. In six months we are going to be heading into the 2024 election cycle. Another presidential election, congressional elections & state & local elections are all approaching. To say that it's a pivotal year almost produces a shoulder shrug with most people because that's been said about every election for the last 25 years. Though I was only a toddler during his term, President Reagan, much like Thatcher in Britain was a solid & immovable champion of modern day conservatism. He was a happy warrior as...
  • Vanity: What is the one thing that will keep Trump or the GOP from regaining POTUS? Abortion.

    me | 08/09/2023
    It is becoming obvious to 'me' that abortion is the one thing that is making elections these days. I think this wedge issue may in fact be the one issue that will keep Trump or the GOP nominee out of office. Is there enough support on the right to bend one the issue?

    So I just saw the Trump commercial re: Desantis. He accuses Desantis of wanting to cut Medicare funding among other things. All dark and foreboding in black and white (of course). And here's my favorite part: "Desantis even voted to raise the retirement age to 70"!! Anyone even halfway responsible who looks at the Social Security trust fund numbers knows the retirement age will have to be lifted. Americans are living longer. There's no other option. Well, there is one other option -- raising SS taxes and/or raising or eliminating the income cap. Both Democrat solutions. Of course Trump has...

    Former President Donald Trump unleashed a fiery screed Thursday evening critical of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who triumphed in his reelection campaign this week and is increasingly seen as a strong candidate to challenge Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

    This summer, the House GOP Study Committee unveiled a budget plan that would raise eligibility age for Social Security and talked about reducing payments for the well-off. Folks, those are cuts - so it allowed Dems to run ads that GOP threatens Social Security I know seniors who vote on this issue because they’re not rich and they don’t have comfortable government or congressional pensions. The GOP doesnt talk about cutting foreign aid or military bases, only “entitlements” for middle class Americans Trump told them to stop that, but they didn’t listen In the modern , post - FDR America,...

    The same week that Pelosi had his incident, a San Francisco supervisor had his house broken into, and appliances stolen. This Democrat-run city is rampant with crime. THATs what conservative politicians and social media influencers should be talking about, not debating the private life of victim Pelosi Voters care about crime, and this Pelosi incident plays into the theme that Democrats let their cities be overrun by crime. Instead of wasting breath apologizing for harsh political attacks on Pelosi or anybody else, GOP politicians should be hammering on the urban crime issue - hard and loud. Here’s one article from...
  • Lying to Pollsters

    09/28/2022 10:10:13 AM PDT · by tbewin · 154 replies
    I've seen multiple posters bragging about how they lie to pollsters...how does this benefit our candidates in any way? This results in lopsided results skewed towards the Dems that: 1. Decreases the amount of $$$ our candidates get 2. Allow cover for the Dems cheating 3. Potentially decreases voter turnout If contacted, tell the pollsters who you like and let's get accurate numbers out there.

    (and damned long titles) | JesseP
    In FR News today, the forum formerly known as “Free” Republic went downhill at an amazing speed. Moderators insanely restrict the postings of fellow conservatives and this long time FReeper JesseP will have no more. The $72,000 pledge drive, told to me by Jim Robinson himself is primarily going to fund his personal expenses along with two of the mods. In other words when the wife receives a gift, it is paid for by fellow FRreepers donations. This Ex FReeper will now be calling his bank and canceling the donation made this weekend and it is suggested that others do...

    I must get this off my chest. Mind you, this is more of a rant to all those feeling nostalgic and remorseful over a Queen who lived the life of privilege from birth to death. As much as I mourn the passing of any human, I pray she was saved. While I do truly feel she was a good woman, I do not understand the borderline worship so many in America seem to feel for her. She was nothing more to me than the World's biggest welfare Queen. Mind you, the royal family made their wealth off the backs of...

    I’m going to say what I suspect many are thinking here on FR. Herschel Walker, really? I met him 8 or 10 years ago at event and shot the bull with him for 10 or 15 mins. He could hardly speak, he had dead eyes and I walked away feeling like I had spoken with a mentally deficient/disabled person. On top of what his probably his naturally low IQ, he’s got to have some degree of CTE. Warnock has to be defeated at all costs, but the fact these two are the choices for the people of Georgia has got...

    I have come to believe that the US is backing the wrong side in the Ukrainian invasion, and it is not an accident. Trump and Putin were the two most powerful nationalistic leaders in the world. They have zero interest in the Great Rest or the New World Order. They are all about their own countries--as they should be. They were chosen to lead their respective country--not as governors for some world leader we may or may not know about (Deep State). Trump was "defeated" in 2020 at the polls and dismissed from leadership. We all know what happened with...

    I sent this to my Congressman today: "If you really want to see people, especially medical people, lined up to get a vaccine --- approve Novavax for an experimental use permit. They are already in phase 3 trials worldwide with very good results. "Until/unless we have a NON-mRNA option, a great number of people will wait. Forcing, ordering, and mandating people to take the mRNA vaccine hasn't worked yet, and that isn't likely to change. "Please, please, please --- push the Novavax vaccine forward for us and help us feel confident enough to finally be vaccinated and protected. Thanks!!!" Have...
