"Don't be bullied by your bowl, bully your bowl instead!" A great comedian asked of this 80's slogan for Bully Toilet Bowl Cleaner,"Does it have to be one or the other?" This question could prove, for liberals, a great first step on the path to moral wisdom if they would think to ask this of their own judgment. If you are a political conservative, expect to be called many names: racist, bigoted, homophobe, evil, Islamophobe, greedy, misogynist, Nazi, fascist, a**hole, and this could all be in the same sentence. These, and many other, epithets are cavalierly applied by the left...

Now we all know that Keith Olbermann is a completely deranged idiot, but the opening seconds of this video shows that he too is a bigoted fool and that Liberal often engage in racism and then try to use humor to cover for it. Image the outrage if someone at Fox had compared Ichiro Suzuki to an escaped zoo chimp, Olbermann would be calling for heads and I am posting this to show another example of the double standard.

No one I know is surprised that the New York Times neglected to publish McCain’s editorial on Iraq, even though it published a piece written by Obama on the same topic just one week ago. Not even the McCain campaign, which will no doubt raise funds from conservative stalwarts in retribution, are troubled by the editorial board decision. By email, the Times notified the McCain campaign that they would re-consider publishing his article, if McCain writes a piece that “mirrors” the Obama one. There is no need at this point because McCain’s editorial is front page news for two reasons:...

Great 15 minutes of inspiration. This guy truely gets what capitalism is all about.

John McCain is out with a new attack ad on Barack Obama, ala Mike Huckabee's famous cross in the background, there is enough deniability(Obama's fingers are open not closed) to say nothing was intended, but for those who want to see a Nazi salute it's probably there. Here's the ad(approximately 12 seconds into the ad), judge for yourself:

OK, you FReeper arborists helped identify the strange pod-bearing tree in my front yard (it's a Magnolia). Now I need help figuring out what kind of plant this is. It's a hardy ground cover that grows crazy fast. Bees seem to dig it, although it's not Bees' Bliss. I've seen something similar to it referred to as an icewine plant, but that's the only real reference to that name that I can find.

The Million Mom Marcher-types would have you believe that guns are just nasty – the playthings of rednecks and brutes, and certainly of no use to decent people. But Col. Colt's revolver earned the nineteenth-century nickname "the equalizer" for good reason. As a weapon of self-defense, it ended the age of brawn and put clerks and school-teachers on a par with bruisers for the first time since ... well, ever. With a loaded pistol in hand, the frailest woman could fend off the meanest thug, and a black sharecropper might persuade a racist mob to play nice – somewhere else....

Obama’s speech on the war in Iraq and national security this morning in Washington D.C. is no strategy at all; it is the same stale mantra of useless promises based on disputed facts. “I was right all along” Obama proclaimed. “We never should have went into Iraq” because “Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks”. This argument might have held some water during the 2004 presidential election, but the year is 2008, and a lot has happened since then.

Truth For Muslims is educating Americans about the true nature of Islam through our seminars, publications, websites, and audio media. One of our specialties is conductiing training seminars in churches to help Christians understand Islam and how it compares to the teaching of the Bibles. This is called apologetics: understanding how to defend our faith. Tell us what you think is the best way for us to get the word out to more people. Take the online poll here. Poll is on the top right.

We are now on a non-Wordpress server so WP can no longer harass and hassle this blog at the request and behest of Obama for America or the Obama Blogonuts. It is time for Barack Obama and his supporters to face and acknowledge the truth. Instead Obama by and through his supporters and surrogates continue to publish outright lies to attempt to discredit me. Ladies and Gentleman, the most damning effort to date of this attempt by Obama by and through his supporters/surrogates will become crystal clear in the next couple of days. You will find that recently pro-Obama Blogonuts...

In a recent email discussion with Winfield Myers, Director of Democracy Project, I mentioned that rather than searching for topics, issues seem to find me. Recently the issue of immigration reform has been pursuing me, and it dovetails with the critical issue of the failure of American schools to prepare our students to compete in an international marketplace. The issue came up as a result of my firsthand empathy with the dilemma of a talented young colleague on a temporary visitor’s visa. He would love to build his future in America, but sadly for him and our company, the door...

The cover of the July 21, 2008 New Yorker will feature the Obamas in a negative light. Both the Obama and McCain campaign call it “tasteless and offensive”. The New Yorker is a publication laced with satire, cartoons, and other commentary regarding the lifestyles of urban New Yorkers. Of course they are generally left leaning, but that’s nothing new. In a press release issued with the preview of the magazine, the following statement was asserted: “On the cover of the July 21, 2008, issue of The New Yorker, in ‘The Politics of Fear,’ artist Barry Blitt satirizes the use of...

Recovering a true copy of Obama’s birth certificate IS important to the general public, because he is being interviewed by us for the most important job in the world, the President of the United States. Unfortunately major networks or newspapers are not covering this story, because if they can keep you from learning new information about Obama, the better chance their candidate will win. This type of media, elitist attitude assumes that the average American fed their propaganda, spoon by spoon, are more or less too dumb to see the clear bias in their reporting. Ha! Welcome to the internet,...

Boone Pickens is a very smart man. He understands oil and energy better than most analysts. But, he has just made an $85 million ad buy to run the above commercial. The ad says he has a plan to solve the energy "problem". The ad states that wind power is part of his plan. What he doesn't tell you is that he is looking for huge subsides for his wind farms. When someone has a plan, they can go ahead and execute it. When someone has a plan and they run commercials to tell you about the plan, they want...

I am posting this article due to some pro Obama bloggers posting last week how they had the phone number for Mr. Young’s brother, that they were contacting Donald Young’s brother to record him denying any involvement by Barack Obama in the murder of his brother Donald Young. These people were boasting for days how they were going to publish recorded calls with the Young family trashing me and my claims that Barack Obama was involved in the murder of Donald Young. Then just as fast as they began boasting of these claims, they shut their mouths tighter than a...

You might recall Larry Sinclair was the person who claimed to have smoked crack and had gay sex with Obama back in 1999. The allegation surfaced back in January 2008 via an infamous YouTube video. At the time it was blown off as a crank who was just out to smear "The Lightworker", probably put up to it by the Clintons, who are not exactly squeamish about playing dirty. Remember Vince Foster's little walk in the park? Well, that bad penny just won't go away. The story refuses to die, and in fact keeps growing and expanding. According to a...

We met back in the early 90’s, December of ‘92 to be exact. I just had a major blowout with my first, somewhat dysfunctional family and decided that it was best for all if I just left. My foster dad gave me a ride to nowhere that ended up at a boarding house in Albany, NY. The place was great, warm with plenty of company, and their cheesy poof biscuits were to die for. On the downside, it was loud and smelly, not unlike me. Even a lowly pug could smell her coming from miles away. It was Monday, as...

Michael was such a handsome fellow. I think he had the broadest, most sincere smile I have ever seen. I remember my teen friend working out at the “Y”. He was lifting weights. His T shirt was off. He looked down at his slender teen arms and complained, “They’re so skinny. I’ve got to get some muscle.” What he did not realize is that the arms were not skinny; they were trim, perfect. I thought, “Beauty is wasted on the young, for sure.” At school I helped him with his English — how to construct a paragraph that made sense....

Why shouldn't we have a rebate on the windfall taxes being collected by state and federal governments??

This animated video, with a flowery and busy hummingbird scene has been created to inspire others to get busy for the Lord Jesus and what His will is for their lives. The Scriptures given are taken from the King James Version of the New Testament and the verses are Hebrews 11:6, Luke 2:49 and Romans 12:2.

Whoops forgot link...APALACHICOLA, Fla. (CBS) - A Florida Fish and Wildlife biologist pulled off a daring rescue Saturday in the Panhandle: He rescued a bear with his bare hands. Officials say a 375-pound male black bear was seen roaming a residential neighborhood near Alligator Point, a neighborhood of about 100 homes on a small peninsula about 40 miles south of Tallahassee. The bear was hit with a tranquilizer dart, but he managed to bolt.. http://boknowsonline.com/2008/07/02/bear-ly-saved/

WHY did Obama’s official Fight The Smears website delete the Birth Certificate “smear” explanation? There used to be a link on BarackObama.com Fact Check Center to the Birth Certificate explanation that is on this my.BO page, which, by the way, is NOT easy to find if you go to Obama’s website looking for “Fight The Smears.” WHY did Obama remove that link? Anyone else smell a stinky fish?

Any P2P experts/insiders on the FR forums here? I've been trying for several months to catch an "open registration" period at Demonoid, but it's always closed. The Demonoid FAQ says it's open for a couple of days each month, usually the first day or two of the month, but that wasn't true this month -- or last month -- unless it's only for an hour or so each time. No matter when or how often I check in, the registration is always closed. Any inside info on when the registrations are likely to be open? I'd ask if any of...

This will be RW’s 29th post about Obama’s “Rezko” house. Two recent events have brought the mortgage of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and his wife, Michelle Obama, who took theirs out with Northern Trust on their Hyde Park townhouse, back into the news. First, Countrywide mortgage lenders is being sued in Illinois by Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Second, The Politico asked all 100 Senators “about their home mortgages in the wake of the revelations that Senators Chris Dodd (D-Conn) and Kent Conrad (D-ND) received special treatment from their lenders. In Obama’s case, he stated that he did not receive any...

This is the first in a long line of blogs that will show that Barack Obama knew that Rev. Wright was a racist, long before the You Tube video clips of Rev. Jeremiah Wright saying "white America, U.S. of KKKA" (among other things) surfaced. Barack Obama, according to his book, "Dreams From My Father," said that at the very first service he attended at Trinity United Church of Christ, and the very first time he heard Rev. Jeremiah Wright preach from the pulpit, he heard the following words spoken by Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Dreams From My Father, Page 293 '"......

Humans are thoughtless and cruel. I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but did you know their thoughtlessness goes back many, many years? Check out this invention by some innovator type from back in the thirties. I like how this article from the June, 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics starts out… (When you take your dog along for a ride, but prefer not having it inside the car…

Most people don't care about the gay aspect of the Larry Sinclair story. If however, it is proven that Obama was doing hard drugs as recently as 1999 that is a major issue. What most American people care about is the truth. I have news for all the Obama supporters out there. This is not going away until it is addressed by the media or the Obama campaign. This video asks many important questions. Perhaps the most important: Why isn't Larry Sinclair mentioned on the "fight the smears" website?

OK. So we have had multiple experts declare that the text of Obama's Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) was photoshopped. We have definitive proof that someone in the Obama or Kos camps used a graphics program to black out the certification number. We have been privy to an enterprising new freeper (and townhall blogger) Polarik detail the discrepancies regarding the 'hidden' certification stamp vis a vis the Kos, Obama, openDNA and Decosta examples. However, to me, the most definitive proof that something is afoul on this COLB is the FACT that the version posted on Obama's official FightTheSmears site is...

I have called the News-Journal for the source of the below article. I am reprinting it here because the writer states verifiable facts. I thought it interesting to demonstrate that even the News-Journal cannot get its facts to match those of the Court’s File: Facts deflate conspiracy theory The News Journal • June 29, 2008 Depending on what blogs you read, Delaware is at the center of a major conspiracy orchestrated to protect presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama by silencing a critic. But like many rumors about a candidate during a presidential election year, this one just isn’t true. While...

Grover Norquist, a former CRNC executive director, dropped by the LA Times’ Washington bureau and shocked the media: “As part of his negative critique of Obama’s liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee ‘John Kerry with a tan.’”

"So Wrong, So Often, For So Long..." I'm slackjawed. The Supremes have actually found a right that exists in the Constitution! For decades they have been adept on finding "rights" where none existed in this document, and denied real rights when they existed in black and white. As Boston T. Party would say, "Hold off on the party balloons." This decision by the court was not a compete vindication of the 2nd Amendment, but a cleverly crafted piece not in line with the other famous 1939 2nd Amendment case, U.S. vs. Miller. The upshot of that decision was that any...

This video is about a true story that happened in the late 60's. The song of the video played in Bluegrass Stile, "Precious Memories" sung with mixed artist unknown. My nephew Roy, spoke of in this video, a few years later, in the early 70's, went to be with his Lord Jesus. This video is dedicated in memory of my nephew, “Roy”.

To My Fellow Free Republic Bloggers, I have been with you for four years now. From Bush-Kerry to McCain-Obama. I am proud to say not only have my conservative views remained in tact, they have strengthened. This is why I am posting this thread. The election that is upon us will truly determine the direction of our sacred country. In the words of Pres. Reagan: "You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to...

HOW TO START YOUR CAR WITH A DOG (A breakdown patrol man who came to the rescue of a woman motorist has managed to get her car started using her dog.) How do you start a car with a dog? I guess you can stick its tail in the ignition and see if it starts or maybe attach the car to the dog like a rickshaw and pop it into gear when it gets rolling fast enough. What other solutions could there be? (Juliette Piesley, 39, had changed the battery in her electronic key...

Just wanted to let everyone know I truly appreciate your support and your prayers. I am fine, I need some time to get situated and I am working on a post that will explain everything that transpired this past week. It is amazing to what lengths people will go to to try and discredit me and shut me up.

Need photo shop help! I want to take the text off the top of this image and insert: "Today's gas price is brought to you by the democrat party"

You ever have one of those itches that you just can’t reach? It’s frustrating, especially when you don’t have anybody around to scratch it for you. It looks as if the dog in this video has figured out a way for a self service back scratch. Oooohh that looks like it feels good…just look at those legs twitching!!

Friday we started a series on Obama’s birth certificate. The most recent post, Obama’s BIG Birth Certificate PROBLEM, featured two supposed “Certificates of Live Birth” from Honolulu, Hawaii: one presented as evidence of Obama’s 1961 birth; and the other certifying the birth of Patricia Decosta. Here again is the document proffered by the Obama Campaign as evidence of his birth: And here is Ms. Decosta’s certification: We received confirmation from the Hawaii State Department of Health (HSDH) that: 1. Certified copies of birth certificates are NEVER sent electronically. Copies can be requested by qualified individuals in person, by mail, or...

By going public last week about hack attacks by China on computers in his congressional office, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) put the spotlight on a growing trend of cyber attacks on U.S. and foreign government officials. U.S. defense officials confirmed that Chinese military hackers had broken into computers at the Pentagon used for email within the office of Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel complained directly to Chinese President Hu Jintao about Chinese attacks on German government computers, and European and Asian governments from France and Britain to Japan and South Korea have identified widespread Chinese hacking. U.S....

As one might have predicted, O-Beasts reacting to my previous post presumed that I consider Larry Sinclair credible, even though I had used such phrases as "nuttier than a Snickers bar" and "One would be hard-pressed to conceive of a less credible source of information." (The O-folk see only the reality they want to see. That's why and how they formed delusions of Messiah-hood around a crooked Chicago pol.) At any rate, I've found out a bit more about Paramjit Multani, the driver who allegedly hooked Sinclair up with Barack Obama. Although Sinclair said that he was divulging the name...

Day in and day out, I get served slop in a bowl for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I guess it’s not so much slop as it is dry hard pellets that taste like cardboard and lamb. So imagine my surprise when my old man pulled his chair up to the computer and surfed over to blissful biscuits to order me my very own Heaven Scent Pizza. I drooled uncontrollably as my father read me the ingredients…whole wheat flour, carrots, celery, parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, etc. No additives whatsoever. Sure it didn’t have any lard, but this pie tastes and smells...

As many of you know Larry Sinclair made some astonishing allegations against Senator Obama in a You Tube video last January. Subsequent videos have come out giving more “details” of the event Larry Sinclair says occurred between he and Senator Obama. Today he had a press conference at NPC. I personally do not feel that Mr. Sinclair has presented enough evidence to make his allegations credible, but many people have expressed an interest in this press conference so I want to share this firsthand account with you. Today, Chalco, a member of Capital Hill forum was able to report back...

Good afternoon, my name is Larry Sinclair and I am a former recreational drug user and trafficker, a convicted felon for crimes of forgery, bad checks and theft by check. I am also an American who loves this country and I cannot stay silent regarding Barack Obama knowing what I know. Today I will discharge my obligation as a citizen to witness this knowledge to you and raise questions for others to investigate and consider. I am going to briefly describe my background, my experience with Senator Obama in 1999, what appears to me to be a coordinated effort to...

Mark June 18th on your calendar. That’s the day the National Press Club in Washington, DC will give centre stage to the man behind one of the sleaziest smear campaigns ever perpetrated against a US presidential candidate. Larry Sinclair has for months been blathering on his blog and in a YouTube video that Barack Obama has a dark secret his supporters wish would just go away. He says Obama likes to sleep with men. Difficult to do, but in case you missed it, here’s a little rundown of his claims: * Barack Obama and Larry Sinclair had sex in a...

So Obama starts a new site seeking to stop the so-called “smears” Mentions that he’s not Muslim. “Whitey” tape not true. And on and on and on. Conspicuously not countered is this claim: Barack’s being homosexually satisfied by Larry Sinclair Or Obama obtaining and doing drugs with same said Sinclair. Awareness alert to Larry and the boys and girls of Big Head DC. This one is hotter than the homosexual heat of Barack and Larry in the limo’s back seat.
