Free Republic

The title of leader of the free world has traditionally been held by an American President. But since America does not have a suitable candidate for such a title at the moment, which world leaders qualify to be leaders of the free world? These are possible candidates - Stephen Harper (Canada), Angela Merkel (Germany), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Vladimir Putin (Russia), and David Cameron (Britain). Non-Western leaders can include 1. The new right-wing Hindu Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, who passionately opposes Islamic extremism. His party, the BJP, is very pro-Israel. As Chief Minister of Gujarat State, he implemented small...

Last month, I read a truly fascinating book, written by John Entine, titled: "Abraham's Children: Race, Identity, and the DNA of the Chosen People". Entine is a genetics expert, and a fellow of the American Enterprise Institute. http://www.amazon.com/Abrahams-Children-Identity-Chosen-People/dp/0446580635 It mentions that Jews have genetic markers, that can be detected by DNA tests. Of course, genetic markers also exist for Irishmen, Chinese people, Indians, etc. The Mizrahi Jews from the Middle East and the Ashkenazi Jews from Europe, have very similar genes. Genetics research and Archaeology are proving that many of the accounts in the Old Testament are true. Jews have...

This article has an interesting account from the Roman Empire, that will enable you to understand what will happen to America when the gay agenda seizes 100 control: http://www.fgfbooks.com/Turner-Craig/2013/Turner130323.html ".....But our most detailed images of homosexual marriages come from the descriptions of Roman emperors. Nero, a depraved first-century emperor, married at least two men. He wed Pythagoras in a formal same-sex wedding by first putting on a bridal veil that made Nero the "bride" and Pythagoras the "groom." Every symbol of a classical marriage was present at this ceremony: a dowry, marriage bed, torches, and witnesses. Tacitus, the great Roman...

Americans have to face the painful reality that Arabs are, when judged by 21st century Western Standards, a crazy people. This is not meant as an insult. Early this year, the Iraqi parliament proposed a law that would permit men to marry 9 year old girls. The law had the support of a majority of parliament. The law would also permit men to beat up and rape their wives, and prevent women from leaving the house without the permission of the husband. These SOBS are supposed to be the allies of America in the fight against ISIS. The Shia regime...

The conservative publication, Newsmax, quotes a former CIA agent saying that some ISIS militants have already entered the United States from Mexico: http://www.newsmax.com/US/ISIS-border-threat-mexico/2014/09/02/id/592180/ Conservatives have to deal with the painful reality, that America is ruled by corrupt corporate elites, who care more about the profits that they make selling stuff to the 1.5 billion Muslims, than they care about American lives. If ISIS were to begin beheading people in America, the corporate elites who rule the country would do absolutely nothing, if there is a chance that it may reduce profits made in the Muslim world. Already, the corporate elites...

Is it possible to justify any further Muslim immigration to the West, given the horrors that Isis has perpetrated? If Moderate Muslim nations exist, why are they not speaking out against the killings of Christians and other religious minorities? How can you explain the fact that highly Westernized Muslims with British and American accents, who have received the best Western education available, are abandoning the West and joining Isis? Isis is not the problem - Islam is the problem. Yesterday it was Al Qaeda, today it is Isis. Tommorrow, the enemies of Christians will come up with another name. But...

Many Western governments have shown a consistent bias in favor of Muslims in domestic affairs. Western governments do not discriminate on the basis of religion in government jobs. I googled info on the leaders of Hamas, and many have degrees in the sciences, e.g. Arafat, al-Rantisi, and Khaled Maashal. A Westerner with a degree in the sciences uses it to advance his professional career. A Muslim with a degree in the sciences uses it to advance Islam.

Estonia is a little nation of 1.3 million people, which was made a member of NATO in 2004. Estonia was once a province of the Soviet Union. It has a Russian minority that is 25 percent of the population, and Russia has vowed to protect ethnic Russians if they are subjected to mass violence by the Estonian majority. Did NATO make a wise decision to bring in itty-bitty baltic nations that were once part of the Soviet Union? I can understand the importance of preventing the Soviet Union from being brought back into existence. But the lives of American troops...

India is the world's largest democracy, and has a population of 1.2 billion. America is the world's oldest democracy. Indian-born Dinesh D'Souza immigrated to America in 1978, and he has written several books saying that America has more freedom than any other country in the world. D'Souza many be right in saying that the America which he found in 1978 was the world's most free nation. But the America that Dinesh found in 1978 no longer exists, except in the history books. The problem that America faces is much bigger than the policies of the Obama administration. Conservatives betrayed America...

The recent media controversy over the MSNBC anchor who criticized Romney for adopting a black baby, reflects how liberals view white conservatives. Liberals believe that white conservatives should not be raising children at all, including their own biological children. When white conservatives adopt black children, they view it as a form of child abuse. White conservatives are seen by liberals as haters of blacks, and that they will teach their black babies to hate blacks. That attitude may seem funny to conservatives, but the liberals are serious. One blog commented on this issue: http://godfatherpolitics.com/12835/conservatives-permitted-adopt-black-babies/

People in our society suffer discrimination for all sorts of reasons. Many women in the corporate world, especially in fields like IT and engineering, suffer from discrimination because they are women. Others suffer from discrimination because they are overweight. Others suffer from discrimination because they are ugly, too thin, feminine men, disabled people, people with thick foreign accents, darker skin color, etc. It is well known that people who are evangelical Christians suffer discrimination in some industries, such as the fashion industry and Hollywood. Highly-educated leftist blacks like Obama or Van Jones, find that their Ivy League education does not...

The story of the first gay Bishop of the American Episcopal Church, Gene Robinson, is fascinating. His parents were poor, ignorant, redneck, tobacco farmers, who were fundamentalist Christians. Robinson was a gay child raised in the Bible Belt state of Kentucky, where he was taught hateful religious right doctrines that the definition of marriage is one man joined to one woman, and that no other form of sexual behavior was permitted. Robinson's hillbilly redneck parents also required their child to attend Sunday School, where he had a perfect attendance record for 13 years. In these Christian religious schools, he was...

One of the strangest parts of the Bible is Job 1:6 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+1&version=GNT [When the day came for the heavenly beings to appear before the Lord, Satan was there among them. The Lord asked him, “What have you been doing?”] This part suggests that Satan visits heaven. Satan, of course, began as a full time resident of heaven, before he was expelled from heaven. It seems that he retains visiting rights. It is this passage that led Mormons to teach that Jesus and Satan started out as brothers. We do know that Lucifer/Satan was the most senior of the Angels, with...

I just read this article on the struggles that many conservative Christian pastors are undergoing, with internet pornography: http://www.christianpost.com/news/pornography-and-pastors-103931/ I believe that easy availability of free porn on the internet has lessened the taboos that Americans traditionally had, when taking about perverted sex acts. People who have viewed internet porn, feel hypocritical when they condemn gay marriage. Porn is a form of prostitution, and prostitution is illegal in 49 out of the 50 states. Why does local law enforcement prosecute pimps, hookers and johns, for street prostitution, but leave out the millions of incidents of prostitution taking place in all...

A new report shows that 20 percent of Jewish households in the New York metropolitan area are poor, a figure only marginally lower than the rate in the general population. The report released Thursday by UJA-Federation of New York found more than 560,000 people living in 200,000 poor or near-poor Jewish households, a figure that represents a doubling of the number of people living in poor Jewish households since 1991, despite only a 14 percent increase in the Jewish population. The report also found nearly half of children in Jewish households live in poor or near-poor conditions. Among all residents...

Governor Rick Perry was once alleged to have stated that Texas could secede in the future. But he now states he opposes succession: http://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2012/11/13/rick-perry-texas-secession-petition/1702359/ If the different states were to become different nations, the federal government would cease to exist. That means that the federal debt would be reduced to Zero. But the price that Americans would pay, would be the loss of super power status. Would Americans be better off or worse off, if the states were to become different countries?

Have you noticed that radical Muslims attack Christians in countries where Christians are in the minority.....and they attack Christians in countries where they are in the majority. Christians living in majority Christian countries, have abandoned Christian minorities in majority Muslim nations, to be slaughtered like dogs. But, guess what? Christians in majority Christian countries are not doing a good job protecting themselves from violent Muslim minorities, either. We are not just talking about massive terror attacks in Madrid, London, New York, etc. But Christians living in majority Christian countries no longer have the right to publicly criticize Islam. Danish cartoonists...

On June 21, 2013, the Financial Times newspaper of the UK, described Obama as the Mikhail Gorbachev of America: http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/9428c460-d906-11e2-84fa-00144feab7de.html#axzz2emZwGd8h Over the past few days, Putin has proven himself to be the Ronald Reagan of Russia. I am not trying to imply that Reagan and Putin have the same ideology. I am only trying to say that Reagan was a great patriot who fought for the long-term interests of America, while Putin is a Russian Patriot who fights for the long term interests of Russia. Putin has been telling the Russian people to have more babies, and the Russian government...

Most Americans are moral people, and they want to see people involved in REAL child porn be executed. I share the feelings of most Americans. However, some hysterical activists have taken advantage of people's disgust with child porn, and used it to launch a new version of the Salem Witch-hunts. In Colonial America, innocent people were burnt to death on accusations of being witches. Are you aware that cartoons are considered a form of child porn in some countries? A man was convicted in Australia for possessing fake nude versions of the children in the Simpsons cartoon TV show: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7770781.stm...

2010 was also the year China overtook America as the world’s largest car market, as the world’s largest retail market, and as the world’s greatest producer of patents. A year later China became the globe’s greatest user of energy. In 2012 China became the world’s biggest market for PCs, and the primary source of global trade. Just three days ago China unveiled the world’s most powerful computer.
