Free Republic

Can anyone point me to a list of democrats at the federal level that have been convicted of crimes vs. republicans?

When I joined the US Army back in 1964, like all people entering the military, I took an oath of enlistment along with people of all branches of the service who were enlisting with me. I promised uphold and defend the constitution among other things. My wife is a career naval officer and she had the honor of enlisting our daughter yesterday. To be sure that she did a good job she walked around for a couple of days memorizing the oath she would issue to our daughter. Things have changed. Today, there is a separate Oath of Enlistment for...

I swear, about the only thing missing from Tuesday night’s "memorial" service for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone of Minnesota was a torchlight parade around the stadium, with the 30,000 participants arranging themselves in such manner as to form a giant, flaming swastika on center field and then dispersing to smash the windows of nearby conservative-owned businesses. Other than that, it was virtually impossible to tell the Wellstone public eulogy in Minneapolis apart from the 1935 Nuremberg rally that whipped German citizens into a frenzy of Nazi rage against the Jews. There was even a fiery, Hitler-like orator by the...

People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it.

Recently I read an article titled "The stupid left and the Satanic Left" or something like that and I forgot to bookmark. I have since torn the internet apart looking for the article again and I can not find it. If anyone knows where the article may be found, I sure would appreciate an assist. Thanks.

I need a bit of help from the members of the board. I was discussing the number of democrats who have been caught in scandals and did not resign vs republicans who did resign.

I am having a discussion with a liberal fellow on another site and challenged him to name 10 clearly distinct differences between the message of the current democratic party and the early days of such historical figures as Stalin, Lenin, Hitler and Mao.

Half way down on the left. http://zogby.com/

Just a quick question, figured if I can't get it answered here, there isn't an answer. Other than the unibomber, are there any other documented cases in the past 20 years or so of American left wing terrorists groups killing anyone? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I visited the Democratic Underground (http://www.democraticunderground.com/) recently. What a place. I made every attempt to be civil with those folks, and ask sincere questions and make valid points. I must have pushed some ones button during the process because he responded with a huge all over the board rant. Before I could put together any kind of response, the moderator locked me out of the forum. I sent several e-mails to the moderators asking if I had been locked out and if so, why. I got no response. Since I couldnt answer, they are now whooping it up saying that ...

I was visiting a lib site today and was asking some questions and making some points and must have hit the knee jerk reaction button on this guy. Anyway, here is his all over the board reply to my point. Unfortunately, I have to earn a living and don't have time to do the research necessary to rebut all of this so, I bring it to the best collective political brain on the planet. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I was visiting Democratic Underground to see what was going on over there and found this list of 25 rules of disinformation. I don't know where the list came from but judging from the responses they are sure that this is how the right does business. Not one of them see this for what it really is. Personally, I believe someone close to the slickmeister copied this from his personal play book. Enjoy...

Very sorry to use the bandwidth this way but I really need information and this is the largest store of information about the government that I am aware of. Six years ago I was in a Navy hospital in Norfolk, Virginia for some surgery and they missed a diagnosis of Leukemia in the pre surgury blood work. Consequently I went without knowledge of this condition and treatment for five years. I need some information from freeper leagal eagles out there. Is the Navy liable for any damages in a case like this? If they are, could you please point me ...

I need assistance from this group to help me finish an argument with a flaming liberal that I work with. I am trying to introduce him to THE FEDERALIST. This is no easy task I promise. Anyway, in #57 the 13th paragraph, the author says: "If this spirit should ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory to the legislature as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate anything but liberty." Can anyone here help me with a few laws that we have to live by but which the congress and ...
