Free Republic

There is an old saying, " Money Talks, and B/S Walks. In this case it means all of the good intentions in the world are not going to help Free Republic one bit. I donate to Free Republlic because it is the one web site that I can go to and read news that has not been slanted, or worked over by the Main Stream Media. Free Republic is the one place that you can find real news from real people.I am sure most people can afford to send in $1.00 per day. It is the most important thing you...

The Local Newspaper for Las Vegas today had an article on the true unemployment figures for Nevada. This figure included the unemployed who have used up all of their Unemployment eligibility, the people who have stopped looking for work, and the people currently on unemployment. The figure is 22% of the current residents of Nevada, not the phony figures put out by the Government

Last night Porta Rico voted to become the 51st state. It won't matter too much financially as we have been supporting them for ever. But it will add a complete state to the " Takers" list. These people well be entitled to two new Senators, and the usual number of Representatives, and they will be allowed to vote in our Federal elections.

I had to deliver a package to a Doctors office Today.On leaving his office, I noticed a large framed Picture of the Doctor and Bill Clinton. On further examination, he had a framed picture of Harry Reid with his arm about the Doctor, then I noticed a framed picture of the Democratic Representative frorm Nevada. Next to that was an authgraphed phote Hillary and the Doctor arm in arm. I could not figure this out until it dawned on me, after all this Doctor is a Proctologist, and it only stands to reason that he would be associated with this...

In the 1990's The Federal Government seized the Mustang Rance a Brothel between 15 or 20 miles from Reno Nevada.It was operated by a man named Joe Conforte, and it was a gold mine.The Feds seized it and for Tax Evasion. The Government in their wisdom decided to run it and get their tax money that was due. They went broke and tore the Mustang Ranch Down. Now we are trusting or economy, Banking Industry, Auto Industry and perhaps our health plans to the same Nit Wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey

I have been a reader of the Free Republic for a long time, also I have never been a support of Obama, but I cannot belive all of the tripe that has appeared on this board today. Everything from Obama going to heaven to Obama spreading the waters of the Red Sea. I can remember when the Free Republic was a repository for breaking news, that was news. Not some board that makes fun of the President of the United States. I wonder what has happened to all of the real Freepers who met conversed and enjoyed the Free Republic...

I wonder where Obama gets off firing the President of anything, let alone the President of G.M. Where is it spelled out in the Constitution that the President of the United States can fire the head of a private corpotation at will???

Why are we being bombarded with all of this Cathholic Hog Wash? This is supposed to be a forum for new news and political discussion. Now we are flooded with all of this Religious what ever. If I wanted to read or be exposed to all of that I would join their Church.

I notice that there is a big fight in the Kenneday family about who will get " Teddy's" Senate, when he is called to the big trough in the sky. Can anyone tell me the section of the Constitution that allows family members to automaticlly take a Senate seat if an elected member dies during a term? Also what would make Caroline Kenneday think she has any special talants that would make her a good Senator to take Hillary's seat??

Jim needs your help
