  • Congress’ Present Duty to Call a Convention. (Part III)

    Hamline Law Review ^ | Fall 1990 | Bruce M. Van Sickle & Lynn M. Boughey
    Full title: Lawful and Peaceful Revolution: Congress’ Present Duty to Call a Convention for Proposing Amendments. Article V figured prominently in the public debate on the constitution, which began immediately after adjournment of the federal convention on September 17th 1787. 30. James Madison praised the proper balance between ease and difficulty in amending the constitution. From Federalist 43 of January 23rd 1788, “(Article V) guards equally against that extreme facility, which would render the constitution too mutable, and that extreme difficulty, which might perpetuate its discovered faults.” IOW, setting the bar at two thirds to call amendment conventions was not...
  • Dawning of a new era of freedom for America? [FReepathon XLVI]

    11/17/2014 10:02:04 AM PST · by Jim Robinson · 261 replies
    It's my understanding that in addition to holding the majorities in both houses of congress, the Republicans now hold something like 30 governorships and control 66% of all state legislatures. If this is true, it would appear that the socialist/progressive Democrat Party's hold over the people is finally breaking and the star of freedom is rising. That should deplete Obama's political capital to zero, leaving him a toothless old lame duck. Now is not the time to give ground on any front. We must stop Obama's lawlessness and hold him and the corrupt democrats accountable for their crimes and missteps,...

    The Islamic Jihad Conquest Formula By Matthew Bracken August, 2014 Mohammed’s unchanging formula for conquest is time-proven; variations were also used in history by the invading Mongol hordes among others. Emissaries ride forward of their advancing armies, offering to spare the lives of the targeted population in return for their unconditional surrender and explicit submission to their new rulers. In the Islamic context this submission is exemplified by the fresh converts repeating the Shahada prayer before Muslim witnesses. There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his messenger. The Shahada prayer is the first of the Five Pillars of...

    Regarding the Boston Bombing and the Bundy Ranch invasion: The nation is getting a wake-up call. Bombs and gun battles in the streets. Heavily armed federal police forces declaring martial law and locking down neighborhoods and huge swaths of land in desert communities. Heavily armed federal land "management" and forest "service" agencies using military grade weapons and tactics to collect civil "debts" and threatening to "shoot" innocent men, women and children who get in their way. And then corrupt U.S. mob senators who are in on the take and who are perpetrating the destruction of America have the audacity to...

    The Annals and The Histories | Circa 112 AD | P. CorneliusTacitus
    On the evening the Senate of the United States voted to effectively assign its power of the purse to President Obama, I thought it appropriate to call up an earlier age. Throughout the imperial period, the Roman emperors kept up the façade of republicanism. They pretended to consult the Senate and be guided by its votes. The Senate in turn, pretended it had a will of its own. Tacitus: Tiberius, in the meantime, while securing to himself the substance of imperial power, allowed the Senate some shadow of its old constitution. So corrupted indeed and debased was that age by...
  • Did the White House Just Schedule an Off-the-Record Meeting Between Obama and a Psychiatrist?

    According to liberal source "Politico", President Obama held a meeting on October 8, with "conservative journalists" Charles Krauthammer, Paul Gigot, Kathleen Parker, Byron York, and Robert Costa. The meeting was described as "off-the-record". When questioned about that meeting the next evening by Bret Baier of Fox News, Krauthammer gave no real information. This is worrisome news because Krauthammer graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1975 with his MD and was board certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1984. As recently as 2009, President Obama called upon Krauthammer's medical stature, inviting Krauthammer to a signing...
  • Any government shutdown would be ordered by the petulant President Obama and Senate Democrats

    Let's be absolutely clear here. If the Democrat controlled Senate rejects the Continuing Resolution passed by the House that completely funds the entire government except for President Obama's unconstitutional, nation-wrecking, job-killing, pet project, the trainwreck also known as "Obamacare," then it is they (Obama and the Democrat Senate) who are clearly ordering the totally radical and unnecessary shutdown the of the federal government. The bill passed by the House fully funds all legitimate government functions. The people do not want federal government controlling their healthcare and they are speaking through their elected representatives. It would be prudent for the President...

    Great first step today by the House! Now the bill goes to the Senate and there's no doubt they'll change it to fund ObamaCare. And then the House must hold the line! Reject the Senate's changes! Defund/kill ObamaCommieCare before it kills us!! If Obama/Reid follow through with their threats to shutdown the government, then the adults in the House, with the full backing of the people, will have an opportunity to pass appropriation bills to fund the essential departments of government department by department. The first appropriations bill to pass should be social security and medicare. This will set the...

    From Blackstone, year 1765: http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/a1_8_4_citizenships1.html Yet the children of the king's embassadors born abroad were always held to be natural subjects: for as the father, though in a foreign country, owes not even a local allegiance to the prince to whom he is sent; so, with regard to the son also, he was held (by a kind of postliminium) to be born under the king of England's allegiance, represented by his father, the embassador. To encourage also foreign commerce, it was enacted by statute 25 Edw. III. st. 2. that all children born abroad, provided both their parents were...

    Today, I posted my 10,000th thread on Freerepublic. I thought some reflection was appropriate. When I found Freerepublic in 1998, it was as though I had found a gold mine of truth in a desert of lies and spiked news stories. You had to work to find the nuggets, but they were there, instead of the fool's gold constantly being peddled by the MSM to a propagandized public. Freerepublic became my home on the net. Jim Robinson, as a Californian, has done a great deal to make up for all of the horrible ideas that have come out of that...

    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...

  • Vanity: Fox NOT Covering Saudi National Story?

    04/22/2013 11:05:15 AM PDT · by ConservativeMan55 · 83 replies
    This morning Todd Starnes had a report on the Saudi National that Beck referenced during his show. Within the hour that report was pulled. I think we all have an idea of why it was pulled. Drudge has re-linked the story to Starnes Townhall.com piece. I know Fox hosts and personalities read FR, so it's helpful to put this out there. Plus.. I know of other threads where Freepers have posted Fox contact information and numbers. Fox is like our Firewall. If we can get them to cover it then it'll force others to begin to as well!

    Dear Mr. Security Agent, Federal, state, or local. You, the man or woman with the badge, the sworn LEO or FLEA and those who inhabit the many law enforcement niches in between and on all sides. This essay is directed to you, because in the end, how this turmoil about gun control turns out will depend largely upon your decisions and actions over the coming months and years. I sincerely wish that members of Congress—who may soon be voting on new gun control measures—would read this essay, but I realize that’s a pipe dream, considering the impenetrable bubbles around those...

    After Romney's unfortunate, but all too predictable loss, we see the weaker sisters of the GOP now pushing for "moderation." To cut back on the so-called "social issues." They want us to "moderate" our positions on God, Life, Family, Country, Borders, Guns, Constitution and Liberty. They feel we must pander to the godless liberals to get votes. Got news for them. Not only, no, but hell NO! That's exactly the wrong formula. We cannot and do not want to try to out pander the socialist democrats. That's a losing proposition from the git go. That's exactly why they lost with...

  • It is going to really suck of Obama loses. Here is why!

    11/01/2012 7:46:28 AM PDT · by MNDude · 86 replies
    It is going to REALLY REALLY suck if Obama loses this election next week! But not for us, but for the liberals. This loss will be much more painful than any Presidential election we have known. And this why. Just think about how depressed you may have felt when McCain, Dole, or Bush Sr. lost the election. But seriously, did any of you have any great love for any those three? In fact, most of us probably think some of them are kind of dorks. Likewise, liberals were very sad when Kerry, Gore, and Dukakis lost, but again, were any...

    That was quick… Less than an hour ago Drudge posted video of Barack Obama telling an audience in 1998 that he believes in redistribution of wealth. Mitt Romney was just on Your World with Cavuto and hammered the president over this shocking admission. “He wants redistribution of wealth. I disagree.” (video) Mitt Romney on Barack Obama: “Frankly we have two very different views about America. The president’s view is one of a larger government. There’s a tape that just came out today where the president is saying he likes redistribution. I disagree. I think a society based upon a government-centered...

    Ever since President Obama took office, he has given unmistakable signals that he is in love with the Muslim Brotherhood. He insisted on talking to them, even before his infamous trip to Cairo in 2009. Then he demanded their presence during his speech in Cairo—a demand that was like putting his boot over President Mubarak’s neck. After all, the Muslim Brotherhood was an outlawed organization. Certainly, the Brotherhood took notice of that! President Obama also confirmed his enchantment with the group when he appointed Dalia Mogahed, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, as his principal advisor on the Middle East....
