Free Republic

1.6 trillion in collected revenue and our fearless leaders continue to escalate the national debt?
that comes out to $45,000 per individual of a country of 350 million.
This doesn’t include state and municipal taxes and we still cant drive down debt?
Its amazing what these buffoons in office at every level think can do with OPM (other peoples money).
With every tax bill should come a booklet with every expenditure approved by the government so people become aware of how our elected leaders continue to line the pockets of their donors and how stupid we spend money.

I have removed any bookmark or web site that references Yahoo browser. Do not click on the article. Yahoo foments racial division, identity politics and purposely posts stories to that will divide people. They troll the internet to find some obscure story about how hatred is the norm in our society and put is out as mainstream. The fact is that most people get along in our country and civility is the norm. Yahoo makes it appear that that we are on the verge of destruction when it is the fringe left, (a huge minority) that is trying to sell that story.

there is a picture of the biased ref looking right at the play. My viewership has declined over the last two years but i did watch the games on Sunday. Worst non call in NFL history. should’ve been multiple flags raining down on that play. Does give one pause as to why every ref buried their flag in their pocket.
Then there is the phantom roughing the passer call on Tom Brady. without the call, it is 4th down and Patriots are punting. instead they go on to score.
Refs controlling the game has gotten worse and worse over the years.
This will be first Super Bowl i wont watch. How can i justify watching a game that does not include the real winners of the championship games?
How can i reward bad behavior by giving them my time?
What happen in the saints game was as close to a rigged game that i have ever witnessed.

load up a semi automatic with blanks and come out firing. The video of the snowflakes scrambling and screaming would be the biggest viral event of the year.
Just thinking about it has me in stitches

This is a tragic situation for the family and our focus should be on them. This guy is a POS and execution should be in his near future.
My concern is that we don’t fall into the pattern of the left and use this poor woman’s death to promote an agenda.
just like the left screaming for gun control after a shooting. We should not use her death to promote dealing with illegal immigration.

Lets review the practicality of just removing the illegal workforce. It would cripple our economy. I believe the main goal has always been a solution to stop the flow in. I.E. the WALL.
I agree 100% to put the hammer down on businesses that are taking advantage of illegals and not filing payroll taxes. Cheating the system just like the guy who files unemployment and take side jobs for cash.
How practical is it to remove 12-20 million workers from our workforce performing jobs that our pampered coddled unemployed and lower class people would refuse to or be incapable of performing.
I believe if we could stop the flow, we could then address giving work permits and or citizenship to those who have a proven track record of working in the US and no criminal background.
It is great in theory to say deport them all, but in so doing you hurt not only them and their families, but the US and the cost of doing business which trickles down to everyone.

whats the difference between a canadian and a canoe?

A canoe will tip!!!!!!!

Penis envy Canadians make it their life mission to prove they are smarter than everyone.

What’s the difference between a Canadian and a canoe?

A canoe will tip!!
Their cheapness is of epic proportion.

Canadians have complete penis envy of America and are always trying to prove they are smarter than Americans.
They have abused NAFTA and have such a disdain for America.

Lets see , can 33 million Canadians really have an impact on the 350 million Americans?

I enjoyed this season. It was nice not being a forum for adulation to J-Lo finally. It was also nice having my early favorite win. I cringed when it kept being an all white vote going forward just because I knew the PC crowd would make it in to something even though the voting basically got it right all along. Wished Katie would’ve stuck to her strength because what a voice! I think Ada Vox had great pipes and should have a career in his field.
Gabby reminded me a little of good old Hillary, tireless self promotion even going as far as to have a logo designed and selling GB paraphernalia. She looked a little like Hillary, thinking she was a lock for coronation and being bested by someone with humility and grace. I found her a the end to be offensive and lost all credibility when I heard she was girlfriend of open shirt screaming Cade.( Does he ever button up?)
If you take this show as a true contest of vocal ability and not showmanship, the final two were the right choice. Caleb really stepped it up at the end but Maddie was endearing and solid in her message. Gabby jumped the gun, probably listened to open shirt about having to have big performances. My new nick name for her is crouching tiger.

60 minutes of football, with huddle time maybe 30 minutes of actual playing time, probably less.
So you watch actual action about 10 minutes an hour for 3 hours and with no relief that being at home and having the remote in your hands, why sit through the drudgery?
Take in the fact that most people spend up to 2 hours getting to stadium , parking and getting in, you are now at a 5-6 hour endeavor for basically 30 minutes of football action.
As others have spoken, the thug mentality, self adulation for making a tackle, and basic limited brain capacity of the NFL players, WHY?
The NFL should not be asking why not, but WHY?

Maybe I am a simpleton and I don’t spend my days absorbing all the racket in the news. I digest Free Republic for 5 to 10 minutes a day.
I don’t get it. What has President Trump done that makes him so insanely hated? Why are we as a country going to fall off the cliff because he is in charge?
why is the left so deranged over this election?
We put up with what will undoubtedly become the worst president in history for the last 8 years and no derangement.
Trump has been if office for 6 months and the world as we know it is going to end?
Why the absolute hatred and off the rails behavior from the left?
How embarrassing is must be to be a Democrat and watch your party still being held hostage by the old guard.

he High Chair Tyrant. Like the Divine Child, the High Chair Tyrant needs attention. But unlike the Divine Child, the High Chair Tyrant doesn’t give anything back. He doesn’t inspire–he just demands. And even when his needs are met, the care often doesn’t meet his unreasonable expectations, so he throws a tantrum. With Gus moving to solid foods and eating in a high-chair, this archetype is rather poignant for me. He’s hungry, so we give him food, but sometimes after a few bites he’ll start pushing your hand away and whining. And splattering food all over his dad.

The High Chair Tyrant is the embodiment of entitled, arrogant, narcissism. He wants attention, but he doesn’t want to lift a finger to get it. He thinks he deserves it just because.

We see the influence of the High Chair Tyrant archetype not only in boys, but men who have yet to move on to mature masculinity. As an infant, the world, or at least your parents’ lives, revolve around you and your needs. But as a man matures, he must come to realize that he does not actually reside at the center of the universe! Otherwise, he will not shed his infantile narcissism.

A grown man who is still ruled by the High Chair Tyrant sulks when he doesn’t get his way, fails to take responsibility for his actions, and is incapable of taking criticism. His arrogance can blind him to reality and cause him to stumble. You can see the High Chair Tyrant manifested in celebrities and politicians who believe they are so special that they are not only entitled to indulge in things like infidelity and crookery, but that they won’t get caught either.

We also see the High Chair Tyrant in our lives when we expect nothing but perfection from ourselves and beat ourselves up if we don’t meet those self-imposed and unreasonable expectations. That voice in your head telling you that you aren’t good enough is the little annoying brat of a child inside of you slamming his spoon on the table and screaming. Ignore him.

The Weakling Prince. The Weakling Prince doesn’t throw tantrums like the High Chair Tyrant, but he makes his own kind of demands. He’s got no passion for life, no enthusiasm, and no initiative, and thus must be completely coddled. He plays the victim role superbly; when challenges or problems arise, it’s never the Weakling Prince’s fault, and his parents dutifully swoop in to save him. He’s the hypochondriac kid who always finds something to whine about.

I may get blasted on this site, but ever since the story of her abduction broke, something didn’t sit right with me. It still doesn’t. Her father seemed to be a media hound and the facts didn’t seem to line up. Even when she was found, she was in a position all along to escape.
I don’t believe we have the whole story, IMHO, there was a wllingness or a manipulation for her to go with him.
OK blast away!

It is hard to watch a dissolution of common sense in this country. These mobs are a product of coddling and social programs that have taken an already dis-advantaged race, and turned them into helpless wastes of humans.
How can not holding someone accountable for their actions help them? How can providing excuses for behavior help them?
It is sad to say , but tough love will be the only way out of this problem , but you will never get a politician to allow the suffering needed to correct 60 years of liberal policies.
If the only way to survive was to work, they would work, or they would perish.
Survival of the fittest has been a natural selection process for all forms of life, but now the human race has intervened in that process and the fittest are preyed upon by the weak and the weak have become the majority.
The future does not bode well and unless we reverse these detrimental hand out programs and excuse making for the weak , we are destined for failure.
How do you rationalize with people with limited brain capacity?

whats the sense of being one if can’t act like one?
When she jumped up on the counter, it reminded me of my last trip to the Zoo.
To excuse immoral behavior and create victim mentality breeds the contempt for civility.
We witness every day, if not in our sports and entertainment industries, in every day life , the inability for rational thought processes.
A defect of the mind created over years of excuse making and social engineering.
