Free Republic

To say that the Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and other progressive sites have carried the water for Obama since he emerged on the national stage is a drastic understatement. They've covered up lies, downplayed scandals, accused Republicans of everything from rape to murder, and through it all declared Barack Obama as one of their greatest heroes. It takes a lot to turn the opinions of blinded sheep like these. And while they have yet to awaken to who the President really is, the NSA scandal and the government's stance on Edward Snowden has started to make them hate the man...

"Dedicated to the heavenly statistician God from the NY Times who for months swore Obama was going to win..with a 91% probability"

Always good to get a reality check now and then to help put things back in perspective. if you feel the need because maybe the postings here have gotten to you for one reason or another, take a second and go over to DU and browse their latest threads awhile. You'll see some real weird and strange over there, that makes any problems/issues you've got here, a lot smaller.

Per the Feb. 7, 2012 Pakistan Independent (see first link below), "The current LDS First Presidency Statement of 1978 says specifically mentions Prophet Muhammad as one of ‘the great religious leaders of the world’ who received ‘a portion of God’s light….’” It would appear, therefore, that the Muslim world might be "happy" with either an Obama re-election or Mitt Romney. And, hey, why not? Just look at all the "ecumenical" outreach attempts with Islam made by Mormon leaders in the "ecumenical" link section listed below. For these past seven years, over a dozen Freepers have been faithful in posting the...

Attorneys say the owner of the Las Vegas Review-Journal should be required to pay $774,683 in legal fees for what critics call a failed ''shakedown'' copyright infringement lawsuit that threatened the free speech rights of a political website. The attorneys represent the Democratic Underground, a website that defeated Righthaven LLC, the R-J’s copyright enforcement partner, in one of Righthaven’s copyright infringement lawsuits. If attorneys for the Democratic Underground have their way, the family of Arkansas investment banking billionaire Warren Stephens will be paying their fees for two reasons:

The liberal media and websites as of the past week have declared that Rush Limbaugh is fighting a "war on women" by calling Sandra Fluke a "Slut". Upon consideration, I believe we should go ahead and accept that battle. The following statistics are from Google. Democratic Underground- Calling Sarah Palin a Slut- 211,000 results Calling Bristol Palin a Slut- 57,000 results Calling Michele Bachmann a Slut- 23,300 results How about the Huffington Post?- Calling Sarah Palin a slut?30,900 Results The Daily KOS?- Calling Sarah Palin a slut? 12,900 Results ..and so on and so on...

Anonymous' forceful closure of more than 40 child pornography sites was apparently only the beginning of the group's war against pedophile activity on the internet. The group has continued its action by releasing the internet addresses of 190 alleged pedophiles online, using information collected from the sites it had earlier shut down. The information outs details for users from around the world, including the U.S., Japan and the U.K. According to a statement released alongside the IP addresses, the information released was collected in one 24-hour period using NSA-4011 standards under a closed distribution channel, and is a collection of...

HILO -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has wrapped up its investigation of depleted uranium at Pohakuloa Training Area and Schofield Barracks by issuing a "Notice of Violation." The notice, issued Monday, states a Security Level III violation occurred, for which the base civil penalty is $3,500. But the regulatory agency gave the Army credit because neither Schofield Barracks nor Pohakuloa has previously been the subject of "escalated enforcement action" and the Army identified the contamination and notified the NRC, the notice said. "The NRC has concluded that the Army has provided adequate information regarding the reason for the violation, the...

The 400 richest Americans used to pay 30% of their income on the average to Uncle Sam. Today, they pay 18% on the average. The main reason for the drop in their tax rate of some 40% is the tax cuts by George Bush in 2003, taking the rate paid on dividends and capital gains down to 15%.

Often the Left is so predictable. While Norway mourns the deaths of the 92 (so far) shooting victims, kook bloggers at FireDogLake, Democratic Underground, and elsewhere are already labelling the alleged killer to be "right wing." This meme appears to have started with a comment made by a Norwegian political science professor who speculated that the shooter might be "right wing." Even Sarah Palin is now being blamed for the shooting because the suspect reportedly favored the creation of a European Tea Party. The media keeps repeating the mantra that the shooter is "right wing." But what does it even...

A federal judge in Las Vegas today issued a potentially devastating ruling against copyright enforcer Righthaven LLC, finding it doesn't have standing to sue over Las Vegas Review-Journal stories, that it has misled the court and threatening to impose sanctions against Righthaven. Because he found Righthaven doesn't have standing to sue, Chief U.S. District Judge for Nevada Roger Hunt dismissed Righthaven's copyright infringement lawsuit against the Democratic Underground.

Freudenschade, baby!I saw this coming from the very moment when we first learned about the Weiner scandal a little over a week ago. Back then the DUmmies were puffing their chests in defense of the Weiner as you can HERE and HERE. Meanwhile the KOmmies were spinning elaborate conspiracy theories involving charts about how Weiner was framed by Brietbart as you can see HERE. Well, today Weiner left the DUmmies and KOmmies with egg on their faces while eating large portions of crow. Most painful to them was that he APOLOGIZED to Andrew Breitbart. That HAD to hurt! First...

...This morning, Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said in a radio interview that President Obama's political team is directly involved in burgeoning efforts to recall Republican elected officials (emphasis on the word "elected," as in chosen by the people of Wisconsin in a democratic vote four months ago): "There's many people that are beginning to believe this is a delay tactic by the Democrats in the Senate so that these recall elections can be organized by the Obama team out of Chicago, which they are, as we start to do the research on the people that have filed the...

caitieparker Caitie Parker @ @lakarune I haven't seen him since '07. Then, he was left wing. caitieparker Caitie Parker @ @antderosa As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy.

It's almost BEYOND Meltdown Mode. This has been coming on for a while now: The DUmmies' utter disappointment in their erstwhile true love, Barack Obama. And now with this betrayal on taxes, he's gone from Obamassiah to Judas Isbarryot. For the CENTERPIECE of the Obama campaign was his pledge to punish the rich by raising their taxes. But now. . . . Oh, well! So the DUmmies are beyond disenchantment. They are, in some sense, even beyond seething rage--they've been there for some time now. But this, what we saw today--this moves them into more of a settled opposition....

"There needs to be a real movement right now, in the Democratic Party, among liberals and progressives to get someone to challenge Barack Obama, in the Democratic primary, in 2012..."

<p>The DUmmies are literally on meltdown mode over the TSA searches.</p> <p>" He's the worst Democratic president in history, IMO; just a slightly lighter version of Bush. He's completely aligned with wealth, power, and authority, and could give a flying fuck about the rest of us. He should just switch parties and be done with it."</p>

Daily Kos, which is beloved by President Obama but named one of the most over-rated blogs even by the left-leaning TIME Magazine, is sounding less like news and more like a madhouse with its ugly rants portraying America and conservatism as poisonous, diseased and even Satanic. Daily Kos bills itself as a “news organization, community, and activist hub,” but considering the suggestion that Governor Rick Perry is ‘Lucifer‘ we have to ask: Is Daily Kos really a place for “news” or is it more like a psychiatrist’s couch where unstable leftists may freely spew venomous nonsense? Daily Kos diarist ”Louise”...

Just how desperate is Democrat Congressman Alan Grayson to get re-elected now that even liberals such as Contessa Brewer have questioned both his credibility and ethics? So desperate that Grayson is now pleading for donations at the Democratic Undergound. And in keeping with his normal operating procedure, Grayson accompanied his donation plea with a flat out lie. Here is Grayson making his pitch to the DUers with his lie highlighted: On Friday, the DC newspaper "Politico" reported that: (a) "conservative outside groups" have now spent over $9 million "slamming vulnerable House Democrats," and (b) the total against me will reach...
