Free Republic

Much has been written about a National divorce. IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be...

This 'Unofficial' Trump ad could win him the election

Vocativ mapped out incidents where cops were killed by another person from January 1, 2014 to May 12, 2015, finding at least 102 murders. Meanwhile, in the same time period, Vocativ found nearly 1,500 incidents where people were killed by the police:

Are we being duped by this Ebola news?

Regarding EBOLA monitoring... It seems to me that it would be quite easy to design and manufacture a device that would be worn by a person in quarantine that would both track their movements with a GPS and monitor their temperature and possibly other vitals. This would then be transmitted back to the health department via radio. All of the technology exists to do this without any serious R&D. I'm guessing it could be built from existing modules for less than 100 bucks... Some Hi tec Freeper needs to do this....

Glen Beck promised to release information Monday if the administration didn't come clean about the Boston bombing.

I apologize for the vanity, but I would like other freepers take on this...

When Osama Bin Laden came to town the Nanny goats would hide, they'd hide When Osama Bin Laden walked around, the camels picked up their stride 'cause acts of terror were the only law that Osama understood When it came to killing Innocent people---he was mighty good. From out of the East Wing (oval office) a stranger came, a B C in his hand, a waif The kind of a man the World would need to tame a troubled faith 'cause acts of terror were the only law that Osama understood When it came to killing innocent people---he was mighty...

Funny, you've got to see this...

OBAMA THE CROOK. It Looks like Chrysler was Railroaded This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's Watergate or Clinton 's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Why was there neither rhyme nor reason as to which dealerships of the Chrysler Corporation were to be closed? Roll the clock back to the weeks just before Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Chrysler, like GM, was in dire financial straits and federal government "graciously" offered to "buy the company" and keep them out of bankruptcy and "save jobs." Chrysler was, in the words of Obama and his administration, "Too...

The first part's enjoyable, the second part not so much so...

Here’s the problem I have with Oil Rig explosion. Sorry for the vanity, but maybe some of you can help me on this... “There was an explosion”. It’s pretty difficult to get a substance, particularly a gas, to explode unless it is confined in a pressure vessel. Hell, even gunpowder will not explode if you light it with a match unless it’s confined. Certainly not oil or gas or even hydrogen. It just burns. Certainly their describing this as an explosion, but maybe that's just semantics. Has there been a good description of what actually took place?

What Putin thinks of Obama

The fallacy of taxing only the rich As the U.S. tax laws today stand, and their only going to get worse with the "Spread the wealth around" polices of a future Obama presidency where the super achiever in this country pay most of the income tax, is that the wealthy people can opt out. That's right. People who have worked hard and saved and have been winning life's lottery so to speak, really don' t NEED to work or pay income taxes. I say that based on my personal experience; Although I had never came close to the $250K trigger...

This is the text of an email I sent to Senator Larry Craig (Idaho). I would hope that all would send messages letting them know of our aproval or disaproval of the positions they take on important issues. To: Senator Larry Craig (Idaho) I had communicated with you earlier regarding Illegal immigration, and that you would be loosing not only the support of me, but my extended family in Boise if you voted for amnesty. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you did it out of foolishness and not treason, however as you evaluate your political...

Sorry for the vanity... This isn't in the news, but it should be. This year my wife bought American Express gift cards for family members. She didn't give me one, because last year I made such a stink about getting them from my kids. I told everyone that if they weren’t from Home Depot, then don't bother. To make a long story short, I knew she bought them but since they were from American Express, I thought they would be OK. Boy was I wrong. The first indication of problems was when my daughter-in-law tried to use hers and it...

Dear Concerned Citizen: As you may know, the Florida House recently led the fight to help save Terri Schiavo’s life from being cut short by court-ordered dehydration and starvation. We passed legislation, known as “Terri’s Law” to allow the Governor to issue a stay on court-ordered starvation and dehydration deaths under certain circumstances. Like many Floridians, I believe the process failed to protect Terri Schiavo and her family. Our action helps to restore a piece of what has been taken from her family. Unfortunately, Terri’s husband, Michael, has continued to pursue legal avenues to end Terri’s life. Terri’s case is...
