There has been so much news lately of schools, organizations, and individuals being harassed by atheist groups, but this one sets a new low. In this case, a grieving mother erected a roadside cross where her son was killed, and now an atheist group has forced her to take it down. What is wrong with these people??? As reported by The Press Enterprise, a roadside cross was erected for 19-year-old Anthony Vincent Devaney who in May 2012 was killed crossing a street. A complaint prompted the American Humanist Association in Washington, D.C., to intervene, contending the placement of the symbol...

The entire storyline of the two men responsible for the horrible terrorist attack during the Boston Marathon has me completely stunned. These two radicals, picked a very public event and a location they knew would be filled with people, including children, and decided they wanted to kill Americans. Yet, in all the coverage, the phrase all media avoided like the plague, was the one that was the most obvious and readily known: they were Islamic extremists. First here's a little bit of history just to refresh the minds of the media and those others out there who think these very...

We all know there is media bias. We have also seen and heard examples of left wing propaganda. But now, I present to you the New York Times which has gone way past bias and propaganda to the point of just plain idiocy. In addressing the controversy regarding the construction of a mosque near the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and the opposition to the site by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Times goes out of its way to ignore the facts to the point of claiming that the attacks were not a religious...

It only took a few short months of complete Democrat control of Washington for the American people to realize that they made a terrible mistake. Yes, the Republicans currently in office had gone astray. But rather than working at the grassroots and primary level to get better Republicans, voters turned to the Democrats. And look what we are getting... massive deficits... government control of banks, automobile companies, and quite possibly the health care industry. More taxes and less power for each and every American. That's what the Democrats want to deliver, but the American people have had enough. With the...

The Vast Military Wisdom of the Democrats Posted by Bobby Eberle September 13, 2007 at 6:06 am Befuddled and confused earlier this week on what to do regarding the testimony of Gen. David Petraeus, the Democrats now appear to be coalescing around a strategy. Prior to and during Petraeus's testimony, Democrats such as Harry Reid tried to discredit the general by calling him a liar and a mouth piece for the Bush administration. Now that the "liar strategy" has clearly failed, they are moving on to Plan B, which is to say that the recommendations by a career military officer...

Bobby Eberle who used to run GOPUSA is running for Vice Chair of the Texas GOP. Bobby has been a long time member of FR and has helped out on many of our projects in the past. He sent this note about his campaign for this position in Texas and thought I would pass it along to Texas FReepers who may be able to help him out. "The 2006 elections are a crucial time for Republicans. As someone who gets feedback from grassroots conservatives across Texas and the United States, I know that the base is frustrated and worried. They...

Reaction is already coming out on the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court. Although President George W. Bush’s comments of a justice in the mold of Scalia or Thomas were not stated as emphatically as a “read my lips, no new taxes” pledge, conservatives took it as such and thus were justifiably dismayed at the president’s first pick to replace O’Connor. Now, the president has given America a nominee with a proven judicial record – one that steers clear of judicial activism. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has called...

Bobby Eberle holds a doctorate in engineering and works for Lockheed Martin Corp. He's also the president and chief executive officer of GOPUSA, which he calls "a conservative news, information and design company dedicated to promoting conservative ideals." He might be called a Republican activist. Eberle has served as president of the Houston Young Republicans, director of club development of the Texas Young Republican Federation and as a three-term state chairman of the Texas Young Republican Federation. He was a delegate to the 2000 Republican Convention in Philadelphia and was vice chairman at large of the Young Republican National Federation....
