Free Republic

It's being reported that O may hold a news conference regarding terrorism on the Detroit airplane. Too little ....too late!! Once again..you fail!!

Good morning...A week ahead to regroup, contemplate, & anticipate a new year continuing the battles on so many fronts we're facing.

Hi folks...rather,patriots, as opposed to those tyrants in DC who wish to regulate our lives to the nth degree.Somewhere I read that Health Care "reform" may be Moby Dick for the Captain Ahab Dems. May it be so.And may Sen. Nelson, D.-Perfidy, enjoy his time on the most endangered Senator list, along with Chris Dodd & Blanche Lincoln...probably Jim Webb will join them.

Copenhagen, he thought he knew you. Another O disgrace.

Good evening.Continuing its highly irresponsible path, the U.S. Senate has passed a 1.1 TRILLION spending bill.Now out here in fly over country, we're looking at our budgets and figuring out ways to save and make do, but DC??? Oh no...the crowd there just loves to spend other people's money, and then tell us we should be grateful and sacrifice more.In other news, the Greenies are going crazy in Copenhagen...so much for their love of the environment...And finally, may I ask that we all pray the health care monstrosity be defeated this week in the Senate. It's a crucial few days...

Good morning!President O will be on 60 Minutes tomorrow night! Woopee! I know you were just waiting to hear that, and furthermore, it's said he's going to slam another group/industry: this time, banking. Hurray!This change in tone in DC just keeps coming, doesn't it??!!!

Good evening!Did I read somewhere that O will be aGAIN addressing the nation this week???!! Tell me it was just another nightmare...like the Senate's debate on healthcare droning on and on and on....

Quick start. I overslept.

Good evening.Iran's planning to build 10 uranium enrichment plants, thus defiantly challenging the One & his Charm the Enemy strategy. And in a sad end to the holiday weekend, 4 policemen were ambushed and killed in Washington State.

Black Friday is over. Did any of you get good bargains? We went to Tractor Supply for horse and chicken feed. We saved 10%. Not a great deal, but I'm happy.

1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation A PROCLAMATION by the President of the United States of America: Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor - and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to...

Good evening.This weekend, the Senate voted to go ahead on debate of the Reid Health Care Scam, Rs and Dems split completely along party lines.There's still life in the patient, but not much, for no matter how much the Senate alters the bill, it'll still be horrific and I'm not optimistic that it can be stopped.Still, life goes on & there is much sweetness and delight in our everyday activities and loves.

Our senators will vote on a bill they haven't read and the majority of the people don't want.Imagine if restaurant owners treated their customers that way by serving food the customers didn't want. Imagine the owners signed contracts with their food vendors without reading the contract and signed a lease for the building without reading it.I believe the restaurant owners would be out of business before long. Let's put the senators who vote on this bill out of business!

Good evening.Obama continues his Asian Apology Tour as criticism of the terrorist trial in NYC grows. But apologies or no, His Presence is not getting the warmest welcome overseas...funny how the more he bows...the more he relinquishes American power and prestige, the more he ...& ultimately the US ...are held in contempt.Oh well....Joe Biden will fix it!

Just when I think things couldn't get worse, they do.Two upsetting decisions were made by the adminstration yesterday. One, Attorney General Eric Holder's choice to try 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and four others in New York City. Two, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the administration will push for immigration reform which will give the estimated 14 million illegals a “fair pathway to earned legal status.”These people are determined to bring our country down!!

Good evening.Speculation & investigations continue on the horrific terrorist attact at Ft. Hood last week. And some DO dare call it terrorism, altho the current administration has dropped the term.The House passed its version of health care "reform" over the weekend. Now it's up to the Senate to pass its form of dangerous mischief. In the meantime the Left gloats....

It took the president about 2 minutes to address the murders/terrorism at Fort Hood. I swear he was accepting an Academy Award. Now, he tells us we must not jump to conclusions regarding the reason Nidal Malik Hasan did it. Liberals are claiming Nidal Malik Hasan was stressed. I swear before this is over the MSM and others will have Nidal Malik Hasan the hero and the police woman the attacker. On to other news. It may be on again off again for a healthcare vote tonight. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said it may not happen , but we all...

Good evening.An important week ahead with crucial elections in NY, VA and NJ. Will they be referendums on Obama's agenda and leadership? On Pelosi and the Left's radicalism? On corrupt machine politics, cronyism and business-killing, job-killing high taxes?? They should be!Prayers for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan as the Dithering Administration spends another week undermining them. Reprehensible!

Good morning!Time Change Weekend: Remember...an extra hour of sleep!The administration is touting its new, improved jobs created/jobs saved stat among growing doubts about an economic recovery as the Dow tumbled yesterday after a weak consumer spending report.And folks, please, please continue those calls to Congress. Health care "reform" MUST be stopped...It's particularly useful to call those wobbly Dems like Landrieu, Lincoln, Bayh, Nelson.

Good evening! Another week brings secret negotiations over critical health care "reform".The markets ended down last week prompting renewed concern that the recent gains are stalling.And the number of swine flu cases around the country climb.What have I missed??Oh! I didn't mention O and his weekend golf game...or his arm twisting reluctant health care provider groups...or his late night WH parties....or his bullying popular news organizations...or his delaying another week of discerning a cogent Afghan war strategy...Our busy leader...how could I forget him???

Good morning!The One had teleprompter problems again yesterday in Cambridge. What a bad, bad, joke of a President! There, I said it, and could say worse, but don't want to get banned...A "compromise" may be in the works involving a healthcare "trigger"....NY 23rds Cong District is gaining national attention for its upcoming special election...a 3 way race between a lib R, a lib D, and a conservative independent...Many, many grassroots conservatives,Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, blogs, and magazines like NR ...have endorsed the newcomer conservative, Doug Hoffman, while mainstream Rs like the local party there, and Gingrich are pushing the lib...

The Obama administration has declared war on Fox News and the health insurance industry....and U.S. citizens, too, in case you hadn't noticed.While I was gone, the Nobel Peace prize was awarded to President Obama...something which still, over a week later, I find impossible to believe.Remembering the show of long ago The Twilight Zone, I fear we have entered it.

O's ratings are sinking and there will be plenty of baseball and football this weekend. Life is good.

New week...thread.

Make it go away. I wake up to a Hannity re-run with Michael Moore on. Blech!

Good evening!Al Qaeda has claimed responsibility for for a horrific attack in e. Afghanistan in which 8 US forces were killed, and numerous Afghanis were captured.The rising unemployment figures will sink in this week: politicians take note as you contemplate taking over another industry.

I guess the "three O's" arrogance was just too much for the International Olympic Committee to handle. Ha!In other news, earthquakes continue to hit eastern California. No injuries or damage were reported.Unemployment is up to the highest since 1983. Energy adviser, Carol Browner, says there will be no climate control bill this year.

Good evening!I'm interested in the direction of the week's markets after 3 down days at the end of last week.Otherwise, a quiet week after the days of madness in NYC, and Pittsburgh would be nice for a change.

I have no idea what happened overnight other than the Yankees won. I should check the news side, but I want to fall back to sleep.

Good evening!Indications are a new revelation Breitbart is around the corner! Stay tuned...I must say I worry about this guy and the 2 young people making the videos...worry for their safety.Thursday or Friday I heard Hannity interview Breitbart on Hannity's radio show. Hannity asked Breitbart about his day, and Andrew gave a very subdued and less-than- upbeat response. Maybe he was just tired...he pepped up a little as the minutes went by, but still...he sounded just a bit shaken.

Good morning. I believe this is the last weekend in summer...sigh...Now on a different note, you have a chance to catch President Gasbag on 5 Sunday morning talk shows. Tho perhaps you can skip the Spanish language one. And as an extra bonus, the First Lady of Exotic Vegetables has lately added her voice to the Official Healthcare Harangue Tour.So that's where we are folks as the year winds down: We have a true lightweight (tho paradoxically weighted down with Leftist ideology) as President at this critical juncture in our country's history. But *wow* does he ever have a nice...

Good evening everyone!I guess the One had pretty clear response Saturday to his mid-week speech, wouldn't you say? 'Course he'll downplay it, Nancy and Harry too, but maybe a few Cong. Dems will get the message..

Today is the day we surround them in D.C. There are many people for me to thank and to pray for their safety. Stay strong. Stay safe.

Good morning!A cousin has called me, so I must go

Sorry for the late start to the weekend thread....I was to do this earlier......but had a senior moment. I just plum forgot to be honest.So lets get this started.Big week ahead the Socialist in Chief has scheduled another speech this time to sell another socialist program....health care....how many will fall for the snake oil sales pitch?

Good evening.Go Cheney! The former Vice-President strikes back at the Obama Justice Dept.'s attack on CIA investigation techniques. Cheney, unlike the Holder's Justice, values our safety & a strong national defense.Thousands of California homes and families are in the path of devastating fires. And so we pray for their safety and that of the firefighters.

Good morning, and welcome to the Weekend Edition of ATWR.We've arrived at the end of an eventful summer. We know our country is at a crossroads...many of the commentators are wondering what the President will do when he returns to Washington: push ahead with his agenda to total control of healthcare delivery and insurance or backtrack to get more achievable bills thru Congress.Whatever.We know the fight is not over, which ever choice HE makes. There's only one real fork to this crossroads, and it's called the Freedom Road.

Good evening!Hurricane Bill moves out into to the n. Atlantic, questions continue to mount about the tack the administration seems bent on pursuing: comprehensive government control of health care, & the summer of '09 winds down to its last 2 weeks...sigh.

Quick start this morning.

Keep voicing your opinions, folks. Let Obama, Congress, and the Senate know how you feel about not only Obamacare, but Cap and Trade, pork spending and their useless ideas.

More town hall meetings! More debate! Don't back down!

Well isn't this special. Pelosi and Hoyer believe it's just darn right un-American to express an opposing opinion (regarding healthcare) at the town hall meetings. Want more laughs??? Columnist Cynthia Tucker states "45 to 65%" of the protesters are motivated by racism. What wisdom these people have!! They must be clairvoyant from reading all the tea leaves sent to them.

The health care reform debate took an ominous turn this past week as the collectivists moved to squelch debate & even physically attacked and intimidated their pro-freedom opponents.Sound like some banana republic...Venezuela perhaps???Nope, that's the USA these days under President B. Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hugo, er Harry Reid, and assorted thug allies.

Good evening.3 Americans are reported being held by the Iranian government after they wandered across the n. Iraq border into Iran.In a weekend interview, Timothy Geithner did not rule out future middle class tax increases.The administration continues to peddle its health care "reform" , while the country at large is increasingly skeptical...looking at the details in the bill will do that....and angry citizens confront their Congress people on their home turf.

Wow! Where to start? Where to start?What a week/month it has been! Bills flying through our Congress critters hands while their eyes are closed. Taxpayers being police escorted out of town hall meetings while protesting their reps or senators. Plenty of unrest in the country, but O has time to sit and have a beer with "friends". He has his priorities..dontcha know!

Good evening! Obama says Health Care "Reform" is not the signature piece of his administration, but his actions betray that: he travels this week to s.w. VA to make another pitch for the legislation as Congress gets set to go into recess.But....given his determination and the nature of the Left, we should not give up either. Keep calling...keep up the pressure on Congress to resist this abominable piece of legislation.

Up until this past week I would cringe at the thought that Obama was on TV peddling his wares. That has changed. I suggest that he does this daily. Perhaps, he can manage to insult not just police and doctors, but other groups as well. How about MSM next O? You can do it. I'll be cheering you on.

Good evening! As the weekend ends, ObamaCare is going off track! But don't let up the calls, emails, etc.The One isn't giving up easily: he's scheduled another prime time presser for Wed. night at 9 p.m. Hope his teleprompter is fixed by then, he, he....

Keep making those calls, sending your letters and emailing your Congresscritters regarding Obamacare, Cap and Tax and Sotomayor folks. Spoiled brat O'bama doesn't like that his "subjects" object. People are catching on that this man is a control freak.

Well, it seems as though state-run MSM has egg on its face. Sarah Palin announced that she is not leaving politics and that she will campaign for all conservative candidates who share her views of smaller government, strong defense and energy idependence.Yes!!Of course, I won't hold my breath waiting for MSM to apologize or admit that their reports and comments were wrong.
