Free Republic

This is scary!!! It's all terrifying but page 59 and 425, and 427-430 is unbelievable! Here are a few of the items that are downright unconstitutional. • Page 22: Mandates audits of all employers that self-insure! • Page 29: Admission: your health care will be rationed! • Page 30: A government committee will decide what treatments and benefits you get (and, unlike an insurer, there will be no appeals process) • Page 42: The "Health Choices Commissioner" will decide health benefits for you. You will have no choice. None. • Page 50: All non-US citizens, illegal or not, will be...

Check out the shocking secret memo. When the "manufactured" outrage the Left is trying to demonize lines up so inconveniently with public polling, it's sometimes necessary to create evidence for the "manufactured" storyline. Enter Think Progress, which unearthed this shocking, secret memo from the leader of a small grassroots conservative organization in Connecticut, which allegedly instructs members on "infiltrating town halls and harassing Democratic members of Congress."

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has violated nearly every campaign promise, demonized individuals outside her political party, usurped presidential authority in her hunger for power in the Middle East, violated the Logan Act and impaired America's safety by personally killing the Protect America Act. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of partisan Democratic and liberal leadership must be held accountable for acts in which they promote their self interests to the detriment of America.

Letterman has jumped the shark. The recent bad jokes about Palin and her daughter shows that Letterman has jumped the shark. A term used to describe a TV shows beginning of the end. This usually corresponds to the point where a show with falling ratings apparently becomes more desperate to draw in viewers. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak. Face it if Letterman cannot or will not attack Obama or the Clintons so his show has...

Ca proposition insults teachers and firefighters. If you listen to the adds for prop 1A and 1B, they say that because of the budget problems teachers and firefighters will looser their jobs. So I guess janitors and assistant to the assailant, to the assistant, to the assistant bureaucrats are more important. If this is the case then maybe the teachers and firefighters are redundant and need to be cut.

A funny parody of Al Gore and his lies and myths.

Myths, Hypotheses and Facts Concerning the Origin of Peoples The True Identity of the So-called Palestinians http://www.imninalu.net/myths-pals.htm In this essay I would like to present the true origin and identity of the Arab people commonly known as "Palestinians", and the widespread myths surrounding them. This research is intended to be completely neutral and objective, based on historic and archaeological evidences as well as other documents, including Arab sources, and quoting statements by authoritative Islamic personalities. There are some modern myths -or more exactly, lies- that we can hear everyday through the mass-media as if they were true, of course,...

The Wisdom of Ludwig Von Mises "The credit expansion boom is built on the sands of banknotes and deposits. It must collapse. * * * * * * "There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. * * * * * * "The boom is called good business, prosperity, and upswing. Its unavoidable aftermath, the readjustment of...

Could Nancy Pelosi be our next President? The news seems to indicate that there is a problem with Obama’s birth certificate and some states are talking about holding their electoral votes. If this becomes the case I see several possibilities and am asking for your feedback. 1. The States where Obama won withhold their electoral college votes and McCain wins by default. 2. Because of the ciaos of Obama not being a citizen there is a delay in deciding what to do, on January 20 2009 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the house and third in line become the President. 3....

For a minute I thought it was next Sunday, because they were all talking about the election in the past tense, with questions like "when was it that John McCain lost this election?" The discussion came down mostly to how much of a landslide the election is going to be for Obama, with no consideration of the possibility of any other outcome. Apparently the media has entirely convinced itself that exit polls of early voting can accurately predict the overall outcome of the election, despite the fact that it has been definitively proven that people lie pathologically to exit pollsters,...

Call the Supreme Court at 202-479-3000, be polite, but angry.

The Great Schlep aims to have Jewish grandchildren visit their grandparents in Florida, educate them about Obama, and therefore swing the crucial Florida vote in his favor. Don’t have grandparents in Florida? Not Jewish? No problem! You can still become a schlepper and make change happen in 2008, simply by talking to your relatives about Obama. http://www.thegreatschlep.com/site/index.html

"Can the Traditional Family Survive Feminism” In the movie Saving Private Ryan, there is a very moving scene in which the dying leader of a group of men that had rescued Private Ryan from behind enemy lines tells the grateful private to "earn it." Many died in World War II so that we could live in a better world. I doubt that we have earned it. The immediate post-war period did witness our mid-century's golden age of the family, with high marriage and birth rates, low illegitimacy, divorce, and crime rates, and the growth of a broad and stable middle...

In American foreign policy, a new motto: Don't ask. Tell For eight years the Clinton Administration preached the need for exquisite sensitivity to the Russians. They'd had a rough time. They needed nurturing from their new American friends. They got it. We fed them loans, knowing that much of the money would disappear corruptly. We turned away from atrocity in Chechnya lest we weaken the new Russian state. But most important, we went weak in the knees on missile defense. The prospect of American antiballistic missiles upset the Russians. And upsetting the Russians was something we simply were not to...

This link is something that you may be interested in listening to. It is a non-political but an economic look at socialism and why it cannot work from an economical point of view. It is about a 20 min. lecture that you can listen to. http://mises.org/multimedia/mp3/MU2008/12_Salerno.mp3

There has been a news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere, becaue coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Moslem Arabs. Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $80 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it.

A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.

Inconvenient Truths About Oil USA Tom Glennon -  May 24, 2008   http://www.newmediajournal.us/guest/t_glennon/2008/05242008.htm Before my recent retirement after a career of almost 40 years, I had the unique opportunity to work in the technology areas for a major oil company, an international financial operation, and one of the world’s largest international banks. As a result, although not an expert in either exploration or production of crude oil and its impact on financial and consumer markets, I did have access to information that most American consumers did not. This was not secret data, nor was it proprietary information. It was...

“The most spectacular period of economic growth in our history is over,” they wrote, because “government is destroying two vital instruments of that growth—the system of contract rights and the large corporation.”1 Constitutional and electoral constraints on political plunder have proven ineffective, Jensen and Meckling wrote, as the courts, politicians, and regulators have revoked or attenuated property and contract rights and have attacked freedom of association as well, “especially in the civil rights arena.”2 With regard to the stock market, Jensen and Meckling forecast that because of the instability of property rights caused by government intervention, investors have become much...
