Free Republic

AND LET’s ADD TO TO THE ABOVE, THE FOLLOWING:

We have amassed an astonishing $5 trillion in debt in a single Presidential term. National debt held by the public—the kind you have to pay back—will hit 74.2% this year and keep rising to 77.4% next year.

Economists believe that when debt to GDP reaches 90% or so, the economic damage begins to rise. And this doesn’t include the debt that future taxpayers owe current and future retirees through the IOUs in the Social Security “trust fund.”

Newt responds to those calling for him to depart the race, including National Review, by saying he isn’t going anywhere:

Beautiful woman. One of the most beautiful voices EVER. God blessed her immensely. And she chose to throw it all away by hanging out with lowlife rappers and thugs who helped to destroy her. Bad decision.

And then turn yourself into a crow and fly away...

Yes it is pandering just like the 40 % rollback of Obama’s policies on the first day in office. unrealistic. but good ideas.

BTTT for a really nice thread, and for a wonderful smile and laughter inducing post.

Both of your wives are very lucky ladies as well.

Thank You Lord, for blessings like finding the right person to share our lives with.

Senators abgrily debate pension cut?

Senator Byrd is mentioned.... I know he was old but... wow

heh

Question the premise!

Is Defense spending actually discretionary? After watching the Trade Towers fall, I think not.

I pubished the first report on CNN Israel. The reason we are unknown to you is because we blog in French, but I decided to translate my article in English. I will publish an updated report on the situation, probably later today (we are currently under hackers attack), in English on dreuz.info.
Thanks,

You are, of course, free to think such a thing. You are wrong, but that’s your choice.

As with any choice, it will have consequences. I do pray that you’ll come to realize the error of the choice you have voiced.

You disbelieving does not render Jesus any less of who He was/is.

I fail to see Jesus as a ‘troublemaker’. He did nothing but good. If by calling out those in power as being corrupt rendered Him a ‘troublemaker’, then we do seem to be akin to Him here.

The difference, being, I wish to be very like Him, and one day, will be. Because I know Him. I’m no better than you, I deserve no more mercy from Him than you do. But I have accepted Him and His sacrifice for me. Prayers for you in that.

I am a believer in Him and also know that our enemy exists. You have things so backward. In Jesus, there is freedom. I am still able to make all the same choices you do. Being aware that guidance is available to help make the right choices is not ‘controlling’. A saved Christian will WANT to make the right choices and follow Christ and His example. To do otherwise is to serve the ‘boogie man’ you dismiss. On THAT road is the slavery that you decry.

I am free to hate someone that does me wrong, but I do not WANT to.

I am free to drink or take drugs, but I do not WANT to.

I am free to look at or lust after women besides my wife, but I do not WANT to.

I am free to covet or envy another mans belongings, but I do not WAANT to.

I, sir, am free beyond your wildest dreams.

More like the nerds trying to ingratiate themselves with the bullies

Strong the nerd force is with the GOP leadership

Out society’s zeitgeist has led to much drug abuse that has created a tenebrific cacography on the walls of many big cities. It is a gallimaufry of illegal street drugs and prescription drugs that work together to destroy us. Many a panjandrum has fallen under it’s spell. Some, like Whitney Houston fall so far, they die. Others, like Rush Limbaugh have conquered it. All very sad.

I’m saving the fire extinguishers for our country.

We’re going to need them around mid 2013.

The financial house of cards is about to collapse.

The Atlantic magazine, much like NPR and Wikipedia, is generally excellent if there is no particular political aspect to the story.

When I fly over to see her next month, I’ll ask her about that.

All of the jets usages is burning a hole in the O zone call Al Gore HURRY!Obama is such a SOB hypocrite liar!Is he going golfing or on another vacay?

South Carolina is a excellent example. The polls for days and days pretended Mitt will be the winner. We know how that turned out.

To be fair, the minute Newt had that great debate, the polls immediately changed. Nobody was surprised that Newt won SC.

I do not like Chris Gregoire. I wish they would have let the people vote as many were against it.

I didn’t get to hear/see all of the speeches, but these were my 2 favorites from the ones I saw. I thought Newt did well, too.

I’ll watch more from the links above - thanks to Mozilla for posting them!

Naughty? How about just say naked butt? Some folks may not want to click it and they could have kids around .

The liberal Catholic non-profit groups giving cover for Obama’s latest non-compromise/compromise on this mandate include the Catholic Health Organization(Sister Carol Keehan) and Catholic United. They are claiming that Obama did in fact make a change to this policy and it resolved the issue.

This is all Obama was looking for to gain control of the issue, two or three liberal Catholic sounding groups for cover, they claim this gives what I call it the ‘moral exemption’ ; and they lie and say Obama did in fact compromise.

Yet on CBS FTN JACOB LEW (White House Chief of Staff) responded to Bob Schieifer with :
“ The President has not changed his position. His position was, is, and has been that women have a right to full range of preventive health, including contraception and we have to do it in a way that's respectful of religious differences. We've implemented the policy. So I think the President has stuck to his position throughout. ”
making it clear that Obama changed NOTHING.

I am not optimistic about Republicans ability to make further use of this issue, they just are not smart enough to take on Obama.

I will vote for whoever is in a position to block Flip McRomney when it comes time to vote. Right now Rick seems best positioned. Otherwise, I would write in Fred Thompson or Sarah Palin.

It is a great read-aloud - I’m on my fourth time through it with only one to go. (Two of the older ones were close enough in age and ability to do theirs together.)

I have used the “not of general interest” from time to time, although I usually forget about it shortly after we’re done reading the book. I wish I could whistle loud so I could call assembly and time them, because even for dinner it’s hard to get everyone rounded up (and hard to get Dad off of FR.)

lol.

They got what they deserve

Yeah, good correction. I really don’t have a heck of a lot of sympathy for people who thought they could live on fairy tales and other people’s money.

“Events in France could cascade across the continent until leaders decide to emulate the evident success of American stimulus efforts instead of tightening the austerity vice.”

Oh geez.

Everyone in VA enjoys the tax revenue generated in Tidewater from our ports and tourism. There are distribution centers, intermodal transit hubs and warehouses all over the commonwealth that provide jobs to residents in every area of the state based on freight being moved through our ports not to mention coal exports. Someone has to pay for the roads and as the traffic in the port explodes, as it has to the benefit of the entire commonwealth, traffic here has become unbearable.

If Virginia raises the gas tax, it will mean us Tennesseans who buy gas over the boarder will probably buy it in Tennessee.

There is a disparity between virginia and higher priced Tennessee and North Carolina gas prices.

Save the middle one for me!

BUMP

No......seriously?......look at the photo at the original site.......”This woman is crazy.”.......She has “eating diplomacy”?.......”Friends of Syria”.......no.....this is satire, isn’t it?......we’ve got the third-string junior high football team trying to play in the NFL.

How far is Megiddo from Syria?

Imagine US, China and Russia sending troops and later decide Israel needs to be attacked over a UN vote.

The liberal mainstream media is not covering the burning of Greece.Instead they cover Whitney Houston. Face it the media has been controlling the U.S.A for the last 100 years.

Beautiful or scary, anything over head high is awesome to anyone. Or should be.

Like I will would never vote for GOP E romney, I won’t vote for his butt boy either. I’ve said never again and nothing has changed.

butt boy? Really? You are going to insult a moral man with character like that? I think you are really a Romney supporter because nobody would call Santorum a “butt boy” unless they were liberal. Conservatives don’t talk like that.

you mean MY fiance Yingluk?

The one on the far right looks like Pete from the Little Rascals.

The Japanese government has never had a "one-child" policy.

Indeed, the Japanese government at all levels positively encourages people to have children; the problem in Japan is that children are a very, very expensive proposition, not that the government thinks that there are too many.

Gonna distill me some legislators and greenie activists. Oughta keep me in fuel for a good long while.

As reported these were found in her room

Xanax, Lorazepam, Ibuprofen, Midol, Amoxicillin and Valium.

Lorazepam (Ativan)+Xanax+Valium+booze.

Is plain stupid.Even only two or three of the above is just plain stupid.

Boner is a nicotine crazed, crying idiot!

I just finished contacting my congressman and asked him not to support the Highway to Hell bill.

They may have a photo of him french-kissing a poodle.

Pretty fascinating. They’ll probably never run out of buried World War I artifacts in France and Belgium given the magnitude of what went on there.
