Free Republic

In 2008 when my wife, Gena, and I were on the campaign trail backing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for president, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was fighting to get former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney elected. Just three years ago in his interview with radio host and conservative commentator Laura Ingraham, Santorum also emphatically told millions of listening Americans: “If you’re a conservative, if you’re a Republican, there is only one place to go, and that’s Mitt Romney. Yet Santorum now admits that Romney “bragged he’s even more liberal than Ted Kennedy on social issues.” And the question that keeps...

In 2008 when my wife, Gena, and I were on the campaign trail backing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for president, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was fighting to get former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney elected. (Listen in this video how Santorum passionately endorsed and elevated Mitt in his bid for the Oval Office.) Just three years ago in his interview with radio host and conservative commentator Laura Ingraham, Santorum also emphatically told millions of listening Americans: “If you’re a conservative, if you’re a Republican, there is only one place to go, and that’s Mitt Romney.”

Chuck Norris doesn't endorse presidential candidates -- he anoints political saviors. The actor, an avowed Republican, explains at the outset of an epic editorial on WND that, "As a six-time undefeated middleweight world karate champion, I have a pretty good idea what makes a warrior." In the nearly 1,400 words that follow, the fiery-spirited, flame-haired Golden Boot Award winner lays out the "the trifecta of tyranny" that Newt Gingrich, his new favorite Republican candidate is facing. Namely, foe Mitt Romney's massive funding, the dreaded mainstream media (MSM), and the "elite power mongering" forces within the GOP party itself. As you...

Chuck Norris isn’t “missing in action” in Florida, one day out from the state’s pivotal GOP presidential primary. The tough-guy Hollywood star — perhaps best known for his role in “Delta Force” and TV series “Walker, Texas Ranger” — endorsed Newt Gingrich more than a week ago and on Monday the former House speaker’s campaign pointed to his words as evidence that the “mainstream media” and “Washington elite” are out of touch with the everyday voters.

Our republic as our Founding Fathers created it is under assault from extremists outside our country and anti-constitutionalists inside our country. Combine that with the flailing American economy and global markets and you see that Western civilization is on the brink, as experts and all the GOP presidential candidates agree. President Barack Obama has tried and failed miserably to fix our economy, deepening us and our posterity into more than $6 trillion of additional national debt -- something he criticized former President George W. Bush for as "unpatriotic" and "irresponsible." Yet the unemployment rate remains at a higher level than...

Let's get readddddddy to rummmmmmmbbbbllllllllle!!!!  VS   GO!

PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA - State media declared last night that Kim Jong II is dead… killed by the hands of Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris has had quite a year – he killed Osama Bin Laden AND Muammar Gaddafi, he last night he snuck into North Korea and killed Dear Leader Kim Jong II. Kim Jong Il, North Korea’s mercurial and enigmatic longtime leader, was 69. In a “special broadcast” Monday from the North Korean capital, state media said Kim died of a heart ailment on a train due to a “great mental and physical strain” on Dec. 17 during a...

Who will make this year's "game-changing" endorsement in the primary race for the GOP nomination for president? Or will there even be one? The subject was raised this week in TalkingPointsMemo by commentator Benjy Sarlin, who noted that roughly four years ago at this point that role was taken by action movie star and martial arts champion Chuck Norris. Norris appeared in an ad with Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who explained his answer to secure borders in America during a presidency would be two words: "Chuck … Norris." The ad still is popular online years after the GOP nominating process...

While Occupy protesters continue to rant in select cities around the country, I'm wondering who is shadier: corporate Wall Street or corporate media? Of course, there's no surprise or secret in saying that the mainstream media (MSM) are biased. Even when the CBS producer inadvertently sent an anti-Michele Bachmann​ email to one of her own staff members during last Saturday night's GOP debates, her campaign manager confessed it was another evidence of "what every conservative already knows -- the liberal mainstream media elites are manipulating the Republican debates by purposely suppressing our conservative message."

As I recently tweeted (@chucknorris), I read through the book "The Miracle of Freedom: Seven Tipping Points that Saved the World," by Chris and Ted Stewart. I highly recommend it. Immediately afterward, I started reading their other book, "Seven Miracles That Saved America," and I have been equally inspired by it. But it has prompted me to wonder: Is there an eighth miracle coming and needed to save our republic again? It seems somewhat audacious to point out seven pivotal moments in America without which America wouldn't be America. But it's hard to argue with the Stewarts on the critical...

It greatly alarms me that Americans' constitutional right of freedom of speech is being squeezed out of our culture. Several years ago, I watched then-"20/20" correspondent Diane Sawyer interview Saddam Hussein, who was dictator of Iraq at the time. She respectfully confronted him for the atrocities and executions he used as punishments for people who merely spoke out against him, his rule or his politics. Surprisingly naive of America's constitutional basis, Saddam asked, "Well, what happens to those who speak against your president?" (He clearly was expecting that such speech was also a crime in the U.S. and punishable by...

In the classic movie, "The Great Escape," a cluster of Hollywood manly men from yesteryear (including my friend Steve McQueen) played Allied POWs who escape from a German camp during World War II. Today, the great escape may be played out by more than 33,000 incarcerated inmates in California who don't escape the state's 33 prisons but are released by a computer error and the U.S. Supreme Court itself. Many today say prisoners have too many rights and too many creature comforts while doing time and paying the penalty for their crimes. But the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld the...

After a decade of playing one on television, I, along with my brother Aaron, was blessed a few months ago to become a real Texas Ranger in the presence of Gov. Rick Perry, fellow Texas Rangers and many others. Perry mentioned at that induction: "As the drug cartels have turned up the heat on the other side of that border over the past few years, we have invested significant state resources to secure our border, looking to local police departments, county sheriffs, game wardens and even Texas Military Forces. However, when it was time to take the fight to the...

I must commend President Obama for getting closer this year to conveying the true message of Christmas. But what do they say about, "Close is only good enough in horse shoes and hand grenades? This time last year, Obama botched his yuletide yodels. First, unlike preceding presidents who took pride in America's Judeo-Christian and Christmas heritage, on Dec. 24, 2009, Obama (with the first lady at his side) delivered the most brief and impotent religious admonition in the history of presidential Christmas addresses, describing the incomparable Bethlehem miracle as merely containing a benign "message of peace and brotherhood that continues...

Garland, Texas -- Actor Chuck Norris for years played a Texas Ranger on television. Now he's going to become one in real life. Texas Gov. Rick Perry is scheduled to present the actor and executive director of "Walker, Texas Ranger" with a designation as an honorary member of the famed law enforcement group Thursday. Ceremonies to honor the 70-year-old martial arts star and entertainment action hero, who is known for doing good and going after bad guys and gals in the long-running TV series, will take place at a Texas Rangers office in suburban Dallas.

The surprise victory of Christine O'Donnell in Delaware's Senate primary confirms what we've suspected all year, ever since the election of Sen. Scott Brown from Massachusetts in January. This year's critical midterm elections are going to bring real change to Congress. And it won't be the kind of change favored by the "hope and change" crowd – at least I hope not. I've been taking every possible opportunity this year to talk about the importance of voting in these elections. In May, I visited the National Rifle Association's Annual Meeting and talked about how just about everything – from U.N....

To get the latest version refresh with F5. There will be updates every few minutes. UPDATE 13: (8:33 PM CST): Another serious disappointment: Chuck Norris and his wife were just introduced. He is reading from the inaugural and finals addresses by George Washington speaking of religion and virtue. He also quotes Bemjamin Franklin. UPDATE 12: (8:18 PM CST) Glenn Beck attacks George Whitefield for owning slaves, but there is more to the story Beck leaves out.Miles McPherson from Rock Church in San Diego is speaking. Why is faith up, and church attendance down? Hypocrite is someone who believes one thing...

Sound too conspiratorial to be true? Like the cover-up ops of spy novels? Well, it's reality. And it is possibly the most bizarre, inhumane and abusive way that the White House is expanding its power over the American people. It's not an extremist belief or theory of the far right. It's a fact that has been confirmed by The New York Times, The Washington Post and MSNBC and even documented by the far-left online magazine Salon.com. And it's the gravest nightmare of U.S. citizens and abandonment of our Constitution to date: a presidential assassination program in which U.S. citizens are...

This past week, I read a blog post that noted how prayer was banned at a high-school graduation in Indiana but not in Alabama. Then I read another news report, this one about a California high school that changed its graduation "opening prayer" to "a moment of silence." No big shocker there. Tragically, these types of devaluing religious news stories are a dime a dozen today. Spiritual regression is not only a trend but also an epidemic. The Fuller Youth Institute just reported that 40 percent of even churchgoing high-school seniors "significantly struggle with their faith and with finding a...

The Coalescing of the Christian Right with Apostolic Dominionism It is not about FREEDOM, it is about DOMINION "The NEW BREED of Christian is poised to take over the earth, precinct by precinct. God's Army is rising up. It is time to put on the militant garb. The glint in the eye becomes fixed as the exhilaration of the hour sweeps through the masses. They can make a difference! The world has been waiting with bated breath for this LAST DAY GENERATION. False prophets in their midst are caught in sin, under discipline, yet their tapes sell to believers of...

This is the legend of Ranger Ryan. All heroes have a secret identity. Ranger Ryan was born Ryan Cloninger 35 years ago. He has Down syndrome, but that did not keep him from going to school and getting a job and living on his own. That is a heroic life, in and of itself. But four years ago, Ryan came to a turning point. He started to understand that, because of Down syndrome, he might not get to do everything other people do. He became depressed. He got mad at his parents and God and himself. His family didn't know...

When Chuck Norris was a baby, he didn't suck his mother's breast. His mother served him whiskey, straight out of the bottle. Chuck Norris got his drivers license at the age of 16. Seconds. Chuck Norris knows everything there is to know - Except for the definition of mercy. Chuck Norris wears a live rattlesnake as a condom. The original draft of The Lord of the Rings featured Chuck Norris instead of Frodo Baggins. It was only 5 pages long, as Chuck roundhouse-kicked Sauron’s ass halfway through the first chapter. 182,000 Americans die from Chuck Norris-related accidents every year. Chuck...

Not surprisingly, a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released last Friday revealed that 56 percent of Americans think the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to their rights and freedoms. Particularly apropos here is the feds' health care violation of the 10th Amendment, which is part of our Bill of Rights and was ratified Dec. 15, 1791. The amendment says, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." Thomas Jefferson explained the pre-eminence...

If you haven't changed the default password on your home router, you may be in for an unwanted visit from Chuck Norris -- the Chuck Norris botnet, that is. Discovered by Czech researchers, the botnet has been spreading by taking advantage of poorly configured routers and DSL modems, according to Jan Vykopal, the head of the network security department with Masaryk University's Institute of Computer Science in Brno, Czech Republic. The malware got the Chuck Norris moniker from a programmer's Italian comment in its source code: "in nome di Chuck Norris," which means "in the name of Chuck Norris." Norris...

Mr. President, it's time to face the music and help America to do the same. This Wednesday evening, you will give your State of the Union speech. And millions upon millions of us are wondering whether you will sugarcoat the truth again — whether you will pad your performance over this past year or confess that the plans and path Washington is taking are plummeting our country deeper into the abyss. If you convey the real status of the union, then you must confess that we are truly no better off (and much worse off in many respects) than we...

As I wrote last week, I knew that President Barack Obama's Christian message in his Christmas address was going to be the weakest in presidential history. But never did I expect to hear him dodge children on the main message of Christmas and then teach them a revised version. Here's the actual transcript from the president's visit last week to the Boys & Girls Club in Washington, D.C. (with a little of my own parenthetical Christmas commentary, to boot -- identified by "CN" in parentheses): THE PRESIDENT: I think one thing that's important to remember is that, you know, even...

Norris’ flat onscreen persona has spawned an ironic Internet movement, and now, a book by Norris himself. Sean Macaulay analyzes the strange afterlife of the worst actor in action. It's official. Chuck Norris can tame anything, even his own meme. The iconic action star's new book, The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book, is Norris’ personal selection of Internet-spawned “facts” about himself, and it's already the bestselling martial arts book in the country. An unofficial Chuck Norris fact book—The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the World's Greatest Human—did have the nerve to appear two years ago, but as any...

While the military is still reeling and recovering from the massacre at Fort Hood, my wife, Gena, and I decided to boost the morale of military personnel by visiting the cadets at West Point and the wounded warriors at Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston. Little did I know that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the shooter at Ft. Hood, was hospitalized there. The day before Veterans Day, we visited West Point. We were amazed by its pristine and picturesque setting, 50 miles north of New York on the Hudson River. It was also fascinating to learn more about...

Chuck Norris visited West Point on Nov. 11. He signed more than 1,000 copies of his new book, The Offical Chuck Norris Fact Book. This video was from a talk that he did to about 1,700 cadets. He talks about choking dishonest members of Congress. He then brings up Pelosi's name. Well worth watching.

Here is video of Chuck Norris, and wife Gena, on with Sean Hannity where Norris said if he were to be elected to the U.S. Senate he would "have to choke out all the Democrats." Actually, Norris was telling Hannity he could never run for office because he is "too thin-skinned." Norris said if he ran for office and was debating his opponent, his opponent would attack his character and "I'd jump over there and choke him unconscious." . . . (VIDEO)

Are the upcoming Copenhagen climate talks really about nothing more than hammering out a world-wide agreement about carbon emissions to curb warming? Not according to martial arts professional and actor Chuck Norris. Norris, who appeared on the Fox News Channel's Nov. 11 "Your World with Neil Cavuto" to promote his new book, "The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book: 101 of Chuck's Favorite Facts and Stories." He explained the upcoming Copenhagen talks in December were a push by President Barack Obama to form a "one world order." "Definitely," Norris said. "I really think he I going over there to try to...

If you missed Chuck Norris breaking a HealthCare block of wood with his hand, you can see it on the video below.

Chuck Norris doesn't only kick ass on screen. He also beats on the UN's crazy Copenhagen climate treaty. Mr. Norris (should I call him Sensei?) investigated the report by Margaret Thatcher's former science advisor Lord Christopher Monckton that our sovereignty is at stake in this December's Copenhagen climate summit, and what he found is shocking. Where the hell is the GOP on this?

Obama, fresh off his Nobel Prize Victory awarded for his diplomatic successes in extending his hand to dictators and despots throughout the world shifted his celebrated persuasive power to another rogue individual, conservative Chuck Norris. Norris, who has been said to sleep with a night light, not because he is afraid of the dark but the dark is afraid of him and who frequently donates blood to the Red Cross, just not his own, was brazen at first when Obama approached. Observers stated that Obama was just a millisecond away from receiving one of Norris’s patented roundhouse kicks, a blow,...

Replace all Chuck Norris, with Barry Soetero. If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you. There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control. Apple pays Chuck Norris 99 cents every time he listens to a song. Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open. Chuck Norris can eat just one Lay's potato chip. Chuck Norris is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you. Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise....

I'm sure my blood pressure has risen countless times over the past year watching our "public servants" overspend. I'm tired of seeing out-of-control government over-reaching into every area of our lives. And I especially hurt for Americans, many of whom are jobless, homeless and with little hope for the future. I need a break from watching the political drama and recklessness in Washington. Know what I mean? That is the reason I finally agreed to write my new book, "The Official Chuck Norris Fact Book" (released Nov. 1 by Tyndale Publishers), in which I share my favorite 101 facts and...

Tonight (September 26th), Mike Huckabee interviewed Chuck and Gena Norris about their concerns regarding health care reform. This video clip explains their disappointments. VIDEO: Mike Huckabee & Chuck Norris on ObamaCare

Sept. 12 was an amazing day as thousands marched on Washington, D.C., seeking to unite Americans and make a stand against tyranny and oppression. At the same time, the Tea Party Express escorted a number of patriots to the U.S. Capitol as well, to culminate its cross-country rallies. But what's next? I have an idea. What I loved about the 9/12 idea is that it was a non-political, non-partisan movement. The 9-12 Project was designed to bring Americans back to the place where we were on Sept. 12, 2001 – the day after America was attacked by terrorists. We were...

Here is video of television and movie star Chuck Norris delivering a 9/12 message on the occasion of the massive 9/12 "March on Washington" today. Norris said he was speaking as a "concerned citizen." He said he is concerned about the astronomical Federal Debt, that could grow to as large as "20 trillion dollars." He also spoke out against the "reinterpretation of America's religious history" - the attempt to "secularize our society." Norris praised Glenn Beck, saying "we stand behind you Glenn." Norris said we, like a martial arts fighter, must "visualize victory" in order to "win this cultural war."...

President Barack Obama is taking a bold move this week to address both American public schools and, in prime time, a joint session of Congress. I pondered what I would say to both groups about Obamacare if I had the chance. First, I would share the information from my four most recent columns, which concerned the four dirty secrets of Obamacare. In short, I'd tell them that it is too much about prescription and not enough about prevention. I then would proceed to tell them something that the president never would: The majority of Americans (including all of them) can...

Here is audio from today of Rush Limbaugh commenting on a column at Townhall.com by actor Chuck Norris called "Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare." Rush points out that Chuck Norris has done more investigation on the ObamaCare bill than anyone else in the mainstream media. . . . . . Whatever a person thinks of Chuck Norris, Limbaugh is right that the Mainstream Media is not even trying to examine what is in the Democrats' 1,018 page bill. How many reports have you heard on CNN, MSNBC, or the major networks delving into the details of the legislation? Instead,...

Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare by Chuck Norris Health care reforms are turning into health care revolts. Americans are turning up the heat on congressmen in town hall meetings across the U.S. While watching these political hot August nights, I decided to research the reasons so many are opposed to Obamacare to separate the facts from the fantasy. What I discovered is that there are indeed dirty little secrets buried deep within the 1,000-plus page health care bill.

Lou Dobbs, and his network, have been receiving a lot of criticism lately for the host's promotion of a debunked conspiracy theory. But Dobbs has a new ally: actor and former Mike Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris. Norris writes: "I agree with CNN's Lou Dobbs, who was chastised by his own media outlet for demanding the release of your original birth certificate."

Dear Mr. President: First, happy birthday. I do hope Aug. 4 is an enjoyable day for you and your family. Coincidentally, I also will be celebrating this week the birth of someone dear to me, my beloved wife, Gena, whose birthday is on Aug. 9. Speaking of birthdays, I couldn't help but hear and read all over the news last week about the fresh attention to your constitutional eligibility and natural born citizen status. I can hardly believe that individuals are now offering bounty – one for $100,000 – for any personal witness or sufficient evidence to your American birth....

Should have known it wouldn't be long before Chuck Norris roundhouse-kicked his way into the birther controversy. On the heels of World Net Daily's "exclusive" today, the action hero and conservative wingnut has penned an open letter to President Obama, who turns 48 tomorrow, calling on him to release additional evidence that he is indeed an American citizen. Nevermind that a "Certification of Live Birth" (a/k/a the document you or I would use to obtain a license or passport) was released by Obama's campaign, that officials in Hawaii have repeatedly confirmed that he was born there, that Obama's 1961 birth...

Recently, a California pastor and his wife were required by San Diego County officials to obtain a permit to hold a Bible study in their home. "What?! Is this a joke?" I wondered as I heard the news for the first time. It was no joke. Rather it's a First Amendment nightmare and possibly a precedent of what's to come. Are you prepared for a future in which you might someday hear the question, "Got your permit to study the Bible?" On April 10 (Good Friday), a county code enforcement officer visited the home of David and Mary Jones after...

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. Psalm 89:22-24

In today's turbulent, recession-plagued world filled with crime and despair for many businesses, can one man provide hope? It's possible, if that man is Chuck Norris. The legendary Hollywood action hero is now apparently a crime fighter in Europe – or at least a menacing image of Norris is.

Economist and popular columnist Thomas Sowell joins WorldNetDaily's regular commentary lineup today.

Martial-arts master Chuck Norris has his sights set on becoming more than a Texas Ranger - he has volunteered to run as the state's first president. Norris, who played TV hardman Cordell Walker in hit series Walker, Texas Ranger, has put himself up for the job of running the region after discussing the possibility of the state seceding from U.S. control during a rant on CNN.com's political blog. The actor, who is a staunch Republican, insists Texans want an independent state after being let down by the American government - and thinks he'd be the ideal candidate to lead the...
