Free Republic

<p>Our purpose and goal on FR is to restore, defend, preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States and to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity!!</p> <p>The goal of the domestic enemy (the left), i.e., the statist liberals, Marxists and progressives is just the opposite.</p>

Goes back to 2005, maybe earlier. I know all about stuning, beebers, showers, moose, sisters.....but is this one that I've missed??

On the Monday morning after the Super Bowl, where, at the White House party the big game bill of fare was apparently fit for a (fat) king, Michelle Obama announced an initiative to persuade (cajole?) restaurants into serving smaller portions. I'm sorry, but even though I might agree restaurant portions are a bit large, from what platform of expertise or authority does this person speak? The last time I checked, she was a lawyer, unelected to political office. She probably has more credibility in the area of mesothelioma. Why does she think we care or revere her opinion on food...

The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals? "She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too." SNIP Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol. On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make...

and Thank you for all you've done!

Keith Olbermann announced Monday night that he's dropping the "Worst Person in the World" bit -- probably the most popular segment of Countdown with Keith Olbermann -- from the nightly MSNBC broadcast. "As of right now, I am unilaterally suspending that segment with an eye towards discontinuing it," he said. "We don't know how that works long-term. We might bring it back. We might bring back something similar to it. We might kill it outright." Olbermann acknowledged that the change was a direct response to Jon Stewart's remarks at the "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" that MSNBC and Fox...

So, Barack Obama’s approval rating is falling so quickly that it may soon be journeying to the center of the earth. So, the economy is in such terrible shape that those supposedly untouchable middle class tax cuts may expire. So, Florida happens to have three of the most corrupt politicians in the country running for one of its United States Senate seats. So, what? Instead of my usual weekly analysis of political happenings across the United States, I have decided to take a different approach with today’s article. A few nights ago, I stumbled across a very interesting study conducted...

Happy 40th Wedding AnniversaryJim and Sheila Robinson We thank you for your contributions to the Republic in so many ways. May your day be fun as you celebrate today & may you have many more years of happiness together

I am posting this announcement with Jim Thompson's blessing and support.Patriotic Americans all across the nation are being called on to 'flaunt the American flag' on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 by wearing patriotic-themed clothing such as American flag style shirts, blouses, ties or jackets; American flag lapel pins or brooches; and by displaying the American flag at home, on your car or at your desk at work. You can even carry an American flag with you as you make your rounds on Wednesday and really flaunt that flag!This is being done as a show of support for the American families...

Dear Mr. President, We are still a free country with a constitution and our God-given unalienable individual rights. You can't just order people to purchase your health insurance plan. The congress does not have the constitutional authority to enact your socialist health care plan anyway. The federal government has no authority to involve itself in health care issues. And your plan is most definitely socialism whether you care to admit it or not. And it's unconstitutional. But I do love your methodology. No matter what the problem, all we have to do is throw more federal money at it and...

Let's face it FRiends, if the unconstitutional healthcare bill passes, the socialist coup d'etat will have advanced well beyond the point of no return! There is nothing in the constitution that authorizes this illegal federal power-grab and plenty that forbids it. If the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Marxist attempted coup pulls this off without the people resisting to the hilt, then they'll have no restrictions whatsoever on implementing the rest of their Liberty killing Marxist agenda. America will be no more. The whole idea of our constitution is to severely restrict the federal government to only its dozen and a half expressly listed...

Apparently there are still some posters on FR who are fast asleep. Wake up! Dammit! We are in the middle of a conservative rebellion! While you were sleeping we, along with millions of other freedom loving grassroots Americans have participated in hundreds of tea parties all across this great land and fully intend to keep it up until all of America is awake. We are fed up and mad as hell! We grassroots Americans are delivering a message to the ruling class: NO MORE!! No more big government! No more high taxes! No more government bailouts! No more government takeovers!...

Happy Birthday Jim Robinson We appreciate the hard work and dedication you have made towards the cause of conservatism. This forum has been a beacon of information, hope and friendship for thousands of people around the world. We all hope you will have a wonderful birthday & great year ahead TOPICS: Humor; Miscellaneous; Poetry; The Poetry Branch; Click to Add TopicKEYWORDS: amysplace; april; friends; friendship; Click to Add Keyword [ Report Abuse | Bookmark ]

(Fresno, Ca. - 10/9/09) Jim Thompson quietly resurfaced from quasi-retirement to issue a short statement on Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. "I done woked up this mornin and would swear the sun rose in the west and my ex-wife was actually leavin me alone. I can't believe all the stuff that's flyin around on that dang blog I supposedly own regardin this Obama stuff." "If anyone in this world deserved the Peace Prize it'd be Bonnie Sue who lives in the next town over, across the railroad tracks. You gotta make a left at the first stop sign,...

I haven’t commented here in some time, fearing my views could bring an assault by the thought police and land me in a “re-education camp.” But then I remembered that Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” So I will rant... • It seems, in this Obama administration, that free speech only exists for those who don’t dissent. All the rest of us are thugs, members-of-a-mob, or little NAZIs; or is it that we are dressed too well? Obama’s recent appointment to the FCC will copy China’s “free speech”...

WHO IS JIM THOMPSON? He is everyone, and no one in particular. He is strong-jawed, but smiling. He is iron-willed, but willing to listen. He is tough as steel, but putty in the hands of his daughters. Jim Thompson believes in God. He is disciplined, but not a Puritan. He is pious, but not a Pharisee. He goes to church on Sunday because he likes it. He tries to love his neighbor as himself, and often succeeds. Jim's the boy for work. As an employee, he gives the job everything he's got. As an entrepreneur, he works twice as...

(Fresno, California - 8/4/09) Jim Thompson, the unemployed route driver from Fresno who was recently accused of owning a "blog" and as a result of the publicity decided to run for President, has unexpectedly dropped his bid, but has decided to weigh in on the current healthcare debate and the town hall meetings currently taking place. From the front of his trailer, only his dogs Bubba and Bough at his side, he issued this spurious statement to no one in particular: "As you mighta hear'd, I ain't runnin for no President no more. They wanna know all kindsa stuff about...
