Free Republic

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in Hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Rom 8 20-21 It looks like the messiah’s army has become war weary. After so many years of fighting this war it is difficult to continue to rally the troops and it looks like the troops are thinking, nuclear. Just like LBJ’s “heavy heart" speech it simply appears the enemy has rallied from...

Leftist liberals are a close-knit group. They hear the "scuttlebutt." They know who contributed GREATLY to the 2012 Obama campaign. And they reward accordingly. I mean, come on, what exactly DID the IRS director of Exempt Organization Division, Lois Lerner, do to earn a prestigious "honor" from the far left Western New England School of Law anyway? (Other than simply being an alum of the school?) Yes, the IRS' Lois Lerner bowed out this week from electing to provide the scheduled commencement address for the Western New England School of Law. But keep in mind that the WNE didn't "x"...

SC Sen. Lindsey Graham's blatant treachery against the conservative movement, along with that of John McCain and Marco Rubio- often aided and abetted by the corrupt Republican establishment, no less- had gone well beyond the Pale long before today. So conservatives throughout South Carolina have rightfully begun organizing to back a conservative opponent, most likely Lee Bright, to take Graham in the primaries for the 2014 Senate elections. But now Graham has exceeded even his own sickening standards for treason and betrayal. As has become clear over the last last week, Obama has been embroiled in perhaps the most disgusting...

Give me a break! Repeal this criminal monstrosity! NOW!! Obviously, the government is waaaay too big to control. Cut it back. Drastically (per the U.S, Constitution)!!

We all remember the phrase Harry Truman had made years ago, and was immortalized on a plaque on the resolute desk in the Oval Office... "The Buck Stops Here!" http://www.trumanlibrary.org/buckstop.htm Regardless of your politics, an individual is only worth their weight in that arena in their ability to maintain some sort of credibility with their peers and their opposition... Whether we hate them, or like a particular elected official, the government we elect them to maintain for us has changed, fundamentally, as stated before the current President took office, and so eloquently enumerated to everyone who could listen and comprehend...

<p>Remember what President Obama said about the economy Thursday on his ballyhooed trip to Austin, Texas?</p> <p>Don’t worry. Hardly anybody else remembers, either.</p> <p>Full article here.</p> <p>IRS-gate -- a truly massive and criminal Nixonian abuse of power . . . by the Tea Party! Why, here are these little innocent low-level IRS agents working diligently from their mothers' basements in Cincinnati being targeted for special scrutiny by these . . .</p>

The Passive-Aggressive PresidencyObama appears quite unique in presidential annals. A campaign promised a fundamental paradigm shift, the creation of the Magical Land of Hope and Change. After victory, a strange lassitude followed. That is, with the exception of “Health Care,” the President took demonstrable action on very little else of the nation’s business, creating the extra-constitutional “Czar” system and appointing a radical “Team” to run things without much direction or input from him. This strange passivity is delivering the fundamental change promised. His behavior patterns fell into place. I am fairly sure that a psychiatrist might call them “Passive/Aggressive. It...

Thoughts on Benghazi from a long time Freeper. The Big Picture Obama is almost certainly deep in debt to the Saudis. The Saudis are battling Iran for control of the Middle East, North Africa. So we are backing the Saudis against Iran, Al Quida and other militant Shiite groups. Why we care about the Saudis, other than oil, is a mystery to me, but we have been backing the Saudis long before Obama took office. (It should be noted that were the Saudis to stop accepting US dollars for oil, the world would have little use for US dollars. )...

It is for Freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1 Guess who got it right from the beginning? As always Free Republic was ahead of the curve. 11/12 Just when you think it could not get any worse with the Benghazi negligent homicides and cover-up the CIA spills the beans and exposes the liars for who they are. We now know the White House and State Dept both knew two hours after the attack an Al Queda group named Ansar Al-Sharia attacked...

New details from administration e-mails about last year’s attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, demonstrate that an intense bureaucratic clash took place between the State Department and the CIA over which agency would get to tell the story of how the tragedy unfolded. That clash played out in the development of administration talking points that have been at the center of the controversy over the handling of the incident, according to the e-mails that came to light Friday. Full article here ============================================================= Liberals had been giddy all week, believing their own silly press releases (commonly known as "newspapers")...

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

<p>Would you support Sarah Palin should she decide to run for the presidency in 2016?</p>

On May 3, 1963 Eugene "Bull" Connor was still officially the duly elected Commissioner of Public Safety responsible for the police and fire departments of Birmingham. But the election a month before of business community backed Albert Boutwell as mayor had his days numbered pending a final ruling from the Alabama Supreme Court. After the massive protest by hundreds of black children, some as young as six and seven years old, the day before Connor's jails were filled with them. He had no more room. When hundreds more students emerged from the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church at noontime, Connor had...

The internet is the most recent, best equalizer for small businesses hoping to make it a business world that requires millions in facilities, start-up, advertising, and delivery. That is why the following letter caught my attention regarding the proposed, new online sales tax. It is such a great, concise summary of the wrong-headedness of the internet sales tax. The great businesses spawned by the advent of the internet, the googles, facebooks, and amazons, are now huge. But the smaller businesses and potential start-ups are the real story. Please read the following letter and, if it mirrors your sentiment, strongly consider...

Matt aboard steel yacht that he built During the last frantic battle to defend the Constitution against those who despise its limitations on government action, one name stands out among Freepers. That name is Matt Bracken, or his freeper screen name, Travis McGee. Matt recognized the immensity of the challenge immediately. This is not new to him, he has been among the foremost in sounding the alarm about the creeping police state that we find ourselves in. His superb dystopian novels in the Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy and his top of the line action/adventure novel Castigo Cay are loud...

Back in the 1970's with guys like Al Franken behind the skits, you could always count on a political edge to comedy on "Saturday Night Live." One such skit featured Garrett Morris as Martin Luther King and Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi as the Kennedy brothers (John and Bobby). The skit was about King asking for support for civil rights from the Kennedys and the Kennedys changing the subject. As a child I read John Birch Society literature ("Teddy Bare" by Alan Stang) making the point that Ted Kennedy was more "liberal" than his older brothers. Presidents are the ultimate...

<p>The Democrats scoff when we remind them that the second amendment was intended by the founders for the people to defend against government tyranny.</p> <p>"What? Are we tyrannical?," They innocently exclaim.</p> <p>And the answer is yes.</p> <p>When you elect an admitted Marxist to the presidency who claims the constitution (that he is supposed to uphold) is a flawed document and pledges to "transform America" by importing European spread-the-wealth around Marxism to ensure "economic justice," that is tyranny!</p>

For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. Freedom from human regulations through life with Christ… Col 2:5 We are now witnessing the DNC propaganda machine trying to hide the truth about the Boston Bombing. We watched the capture live of the two mass murderers although we are witnessing no curiosity to the extent of the conspiracy. We have a couple of Islamic terrorists being painted as innocent victims of a sudden transformation into radical Islam...

It's just as simple as that folks, if we do not secure our borders, we have no country. It's absolutely madness not to secure our nation, not to secure our borders especially during war time!! The president is defying the constitution, defying the law and defying we the people by not enforcing the law!! He's a traitor! The BOSTON MASSACRE is a direct result of his TREASON!! The senators and congressmen who go along with his treason are also TRAITORS!! NO!! Do not open our borders!! Flush the 800 page treasonous open borders declaration!! Do not reward the law breakers...

How is it at all legal for the police to have coerced people from their homes during the house to house search that was conducted in Watertown MA last week? By 'coerced', I mean being told to leave their residence by police SWAT teams. When you have 10 police pointing rifles at you, yelling at your to get out of your house, I'd consider that coersion. These people were removed from their homes and forced to go someplace else. It appears that they were not 'allowed' back into their homes for hours. How is that possible in America? Were homeowners...

Thought this would be worth a sort-of repost to help us take down these RINO traitors supporting amnesty and the H1B in the immigration deform bill. 1. Launch a general full-scale assault on the amnesty and H1B-pushing turncoat RINO’s like Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan and Loser Lindsey Graham, especially House Reps like Ryan and Senators like Graham who will have to face primaries in 2014, but even turncoats like Rubio who aren't up until 2016. Let’s work to recruit primary challenges for each of them as well as any other pro-amnesty RINO, and encourage them to start revving up immediately,...

Obama's Marxist socialist government is in a mad rush to destroy the final remnants of our constitution and our traditional American way of life. We love America. We love freedom. We love and defend our constitution. We cherish our God-given unalienable rights. We cherish and depend on our rights to free speech, free press, freedom of religion, freedom to keep and bear arms, freedom to be secure in our homes and personal affairs, freedom to travel, freedom to enjoy the fruits of our own labor. But the socialist don't. The Marxists don't. The Islamofascists don't. The socialist Democrat party led...

KIRKUS REVIEW It’s Boston under attack in this double-author debut action-thriller, with the Muslim Brotherhood hoping to go one better than al-Qaida. Although the authors label the protagonists with nearly identical first names, this one’s no roman à clef. Retired special ops colonel David Gibson operates a security company. Christina Marchetti is a political consultant to "I want to be President" Sen. Brian Kerrigan from Massachusetts. It’s post-Christmas, and there’s a flight from Logan Airport to D.C. Gibson’s mother has a seat, and Marchetti’s eager to load her high-maintenance sister. Then the aircraft is hijacked while it sits at runway’s...

He may have gotten by the negligent, incompetent misled DHS, the FBI, ICE, the lax immigration policies, etc, etc, and he may have been awarded citizenship, but that does not change the undeniable and obvious fact that he turned TRAITOR and joined the Islamic enemy in their continuing bloody attacks on America and innocent American citizens (and others). Yes, that is TREASON and the moment he joined in on this treasonous operation he became an enemy combatant!! Read, study, understand and abide by the constitution!!

Obama is wrong! Biden is wrong! Napolitano is wrong! The entire Democrat party and the sicko sycophant media is wrong! DEAD WRONG!! The latest Boston Massacre was NOT perpetrated by crazed tea party white guys as they were praying. It was perpetrated by the same old crazed Islamic terrorists that have been at war with western society for centuries. The same Islamic terrorists that Obama, Biden, Napolitan, DiFi and all demoncrats insist on coddling. The same ISLAMIC terrorists that this nation has been officially at war with since shortly after the ISLAMIC TERRORIST attack on AMERICA on 9/11. DiFi even...

The Big Lie is that the bulk of border-crossers are Mexican----BUT we know Mexico is the staging area for all of the Third World freeloaders---that includes global terrorists bent on destroying America. Terrorists from Mideast countries are entering the US from Mexico......their swarthiness gives them a pass to masquerade as Mexican illegals The Mexican border has become the staging area for (1) global terrorists (swarthy Mideasterners who pass for Mexicans), (2) the criminal latino uderworld, (3) Third World lowlifes, (4) drug cartels, (5) impoverished latinos hoping to win the "border lottery" in the US and the like. US politicans are...

Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, who lived with him in Cambridge, Mass., to perpetrate the deadly attack — which killed three people and injured 176 others — is not clear. They are believed to be Muslim and to have had military training overseas. But the older brother, who was 26, also worked out in a gym and dreamed of making the U.S. Olympic boxing team, according to an online photojournalism slideshow that chronicled his training.

When the Boston Marathon terror bombs ripped through the flesh of innocent victims, killing three and maiming more than one-hundred and eighty, the American Pravda Press was quick and eager to assign blame. Scarely had the flow of blood been stemmed, and barely had the shrapnel stopped moving, when these propagandists -- acting on utterly no information whatsoever -- attempted to pin blame on the political right: On April 15, the New York Times Nicholas Kristof tweeted:He subsequently walked the comments back, but not before revealing his bias and predilection. CNN was very quick to assign a false blame. Immediately...

The horrific events of this week should convince even you. No, we do not need to loosen our borders or our immigration policies. We need to tighten security and closely control who we allow to enter the country. Obama and the idiot Democrats are succeeding in their primary goal of bring capitalism to its knees. They WANT America to fail. They want capitalism to fail. Obama is a constitution-hating Marxist and his supporters wish to completely eliminate the constitutional limits on government and usher in their socialist utopia. And they wish to remove our borders and allow all their comrades...

The bill being considered in the US Congress would make the two terrorist suspects in the Boston Marathon Bombing US Citizens. But should the United States pass a bill that would blindly grant citizenship to people in the United States without background checks. Clearly, before the bombing at the Boston Marathon, these two young men would have been granted citizenship. This needs to be pointed out in any debate in Congress about the Immigration Bill being shoved through Congress.

With apologies to Charles Dickens, "It was the worst of Obama; it was the worst of Obama; it was the age of foolishness; it was the age of fury; it was the epoch of blame; it was the epoch of incredulity......" Within the last week, we had horrific terrorist bombings at the Boston Marathon that called to mind the travails that Israel must endure; we had the explosion of a fertilizer plant in Waco, Texas that killed more than 60; we had ricin-poisoned letters being delivered to Obama and other lawmakers; and we had the defeat of a gun-control bill...

Last reports indicated video of a suspect planting a device was obtained, but there is no ID on the suspect. If they have no ID on the suspect, would not showing the video to the public possibly reveal who the suspect is? Would friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers or possibly his neighbors be able to ID the suspect? It's already been announced world wide the video was obtained at one of the bomb sites in front of a retail shop. So it would not seem likely the investigation would be compromised, since the suspect himself would already know they had video...

The threat of gun confiscation by the government was the spark that ignited the American Revolution (look up the Battles of Lexington and Concord). Americans have cherished their God-given right to keep and bear arms long before the constitution or the second amendment was even ratified to guarantee it. Our unalienable God-given rights are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Millions of patriots have fought and many died defending same. Our God-given rights are paid for by the sacrifice of the blood of patriots, warrior and civilian alike. And the debt...

Anyone else listening to Sean Hannity's Show and the ABC News breaks during? ABC News is SHAMELESSLY claiming this is the first US homeland terror attack on Obama's watch, a blatant lie and surely they know it. And if they don't, they should go out of the news business. ABC News needs to tell the families of the 13 murdered heros by Hassan the Islamic radical maggot that their loved ones didn't die from terrorism. Or should we assume ABC News is just toeing the Obama line that it was an act of workplace violence and not what it was,...

Predictably, the American Pravda Press immediately began conjecturing that the tragic terrorist act in Boston, at the Marathon, was possibly caused by 'right wing extremists'. Quoted Peter Bergen: ""One of the things that I'd be looking at, once the device, if it is a device, is found, what kind of explosives were used. If it, for instance, if it was hydrogen peroxide, sort of a signature of al Qaeda. If it was more conventional explosives, which are much harder to get hold of now, it might be some other kind of right wing extremists..."We've also seen other extremist groups, right...

I firmly believe why the MSM up until recently failed to report on the trial of Dr. Gosnell is the fact that they would look hypocritical along with President Obama, who has been using the deaths of 23 innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary to push for new gun control measures in the Congress, but the truth of the matter is that is you took all of Dr. Gosnell's victims and total them up you would come up with more than 9000 Sandy Hook Victims. The other reason for the media blackout is the fact that the trial would calling...

You, my brothers, were called to be Free. But do not use your Freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. Gal 5:13 Once again we are being forced to accept another liberal tenant as truth when in reality it is a lie. We are told if we do not accept the idea of homosexual marriage we are old fashioned and intolerant. How old fashion do you have to be to accept something that has been a failure since the dawn of time? How old fashioned do you need to be to accept a lifestyle which...

I know that I am not the only American who now thinks that July 4 should be observed as a national day of mourning, rather than celebrated as a day of independence and liberty. For most Americans, July 4 is nothing more than National Beer, Hot Dogs, Concerts, Parties and Fireworks Day. The very name of this "holiday" -- INDEPENDENCE DAY -- is made mockery every day by our government's embrace of the "New World Order" and its drive towards ultimate subordination of our national sovereignty to a global government. As a nation we have virtually renounced our independent republic...

With thanks to centermass for the original idea: I suggest that Rand Paul offer the following Amendment to the Gun Control Anti-Bill-Of-Rights legislation before the Senate: "Any background checks, documentation, restrictions, waiting periods, or any other restrictions of this legislation on a citizen's G-d-given Second Amendment Rights must be equally applied to each citizen's right to VOTE and SPEAK." If Liberals are going to destroy our G-d-Given and Constitutional rights, let's equally gore their ox. There is no logic to their position, of course, and putting the identical restriction on their pet rights will prove their hypocrisy. Can anyone get...

It has long been observed that you can usually tell what a Democrat is up to, generally, by what they accuse the opposition of specifically doing. This phenomenon is much more clearly manifested in Obama -- so much so, that you might be able to write a predictive activity log for him, simply by seeing what he accuses Republicans of doing. On April 9th, it was reported that Obama accused the Republicans of using 'political stunts' to block gun control. Wait... what? Where did he make this accusation? Near Sandy Hook, Connecticut. What did he do the day before? Used...

I have heard and read a couple of comments by O'Reilly regarding his "Killing Jesus" book. He calls Jesus a revolutionary. He says that his new book in his "Killing" series will present the story in terms of historic and political events that changed the world. This tracks with the interview he had with Downey and husband on "The O'Reilly Factor" prior to the Bible episodes beginning. He asked Downey their take on the Bible. She replied to the effect that they just wanted to present the stories. OReilly's reply related to his own book and said something along the...

I have a solution to the Global Warming Dilemma. You know the one, the dilemma in which the planet is heating up furiously due to humanity's actitivies on the planet (except it's not, really, and even The Economist had to back off the claim... but I digress....) THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF GLOBAL WARMING IS THIS: RESTRICT THE SIZE OF GAS TANKS. See: "I will tell you these are gasolines, they’re fuels, so the people who have those big gas tanks, now they’re going to drive them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these...

A REAL REPUBLICAN is an American who adheres politically, in word and deed, to the original natural law moral principles of our republic, to the sworn duty to support the stated purposes and explicit provisions of the U.S. Constitution, and is firmly committed to the preservation of representative self-government. What are the original principles of our republic? Those principles are summed up best in our nation's charter, the Declaration...

On March 31st, Easter Sunday, Google posted as their logo-based 'Doodle' a picture honoring far-left union activist Cesar Chavez. This was done instead of honoring the most important Christian holiday in America. Predictably, this led to a large and vocal backlash of Christians and conservatives who were angered that Google paraded out a leftwing icon, rather than acknowledge their Holy Day. The next day, on April Fools Day, I posted this thread, "Google Apologizes to Christians For Easter Cesar Chavez 'Doodle'". Sadly, it was an April Fools Joke.... and while I was delighted at the number of people I fooled,...

It is for Freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Gal 5:1 The homosexual agenda is not about marriage or so called a right to a sexual group but a method for the communist wing to promote their political ideology. Just as the women’s movement was used to promote the communist agenda in the 60’s, such as abortion being a right rather than a moral judgment; so too is the homosexual marriage movement becoming their latest agenda promotional tool. This is simply a tactic...

Today the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for about 80 minutes in Hollingsworth v. Perry, which is the lawsuit regarding California's Proposition 8. Two gay couples brought suit on the grounds that the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits the State of California from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Since the State of California refuses to defend Proposition 8, opponents of gay marriage sought to enforce it in Hollingsworth v. Perry. Generally, citizens do not have legal standing to enforce laws with which they agree. Several justices expressed doubt that gay marriage...

Recently, Mark Kelly attempted to purchase an AR-15 from a Tucson gun dealer to make a political point about background checks. In doing so, Mark Kelly completed ATF Form 4473.

Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual buyer, the dealer cannot transfer the firearm(s)to you.Upon signing the form, Mark Kelly acknowledged this: I certify that my answers to Section A are true, correct, and complete.
