Free Republic

President Barack Obama has been in campaign mode the past couple of days in Virginia, California, and Nevada. No major contender for the Republican nomination for President of the United States has officially announced their candidacy. And now we have a President who is actively campaigning already. This is what he loves to do: Campaign because this is what he's good at. Read more here at http://national-spotlight.com/2011/04/22/surprise-surprise-obama-is-already-in-campaign-mode/

A HIGH LEVEL OF PISSEDTIVITY!!!!!!!!!! I would say. I was not surprised when I saw that the 121st Signal Battalion Of the 1st Infantry Division was dissbanned over-seas. With the frantinizing of the Officer's and Enlisted soilders threw all the ranks, the widespread drug use and GOD only knows what else.

This plague has already destroyed the Mississippi and is already in the great lakes. this is without doubt a punishment to this country, ten times worse than the Gulf oil spill. http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php/topic,3436287.msg33408123.html#msg33408123

One of the highlights of the state dinner was a performance by Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist who has been a sensation in music circles. Mr. Lang played a duet with the American jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, then a haunting traditional Chinese melody called “My Motherland.” In China, it turns out, “My Motherland” is better known as the theme from the film “Battle on Shangganling Mountain,” a 1956 Chinese classic about a Korean War battle in which a vastly outnumbered band of Chinese soldiers held off American and United Nations forces for 42 days. If, in retrospect, “My Motherland” might...

<p>In the Republican Party, the fracture over issues concerning homosexual individuals revealed itself more clearly in the vote for repeal of the 17-year-old "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prevented gays from serving openly in the military.</p> <p>Of the eight Republican senators who voted for repeal, five are among the youngest in the upper chamber - and they're not all moderates.</p>

Sorry if I'm not allowed to post this sort of thread, but I'd rather ask direct questions than interpret answers to other questions an apply them to my own. I'm from the UK and for school work over the holidays I've got to find and explain/counter arguments for and against a political issue from another country, and I know that healthcare reform is a big one in America at the moment so I picked the easy one. I've had good experiences with our NHS, and without it I would either be dead or my family would be deeply in debt...

This is a question worth asking and the answer is the most poignant and effective one I have heard yet. It's so simple a democrat can understand it. Is Mitt Romney responsible for Obamacare and the current state of the Massachusetts Health Care system? http://bit.ly/dK4EES

I am starting a project and want to know if someone would like to help me do it. Once started we can develop a reset button for this economic structure.

Have you really looked at what our taxes go to? I found most of the things we are being taxed on are things that don't really have an association directly to the normal citizen. They need to do 2 things maintain roads and security. As far as this foreclosure issue and tie it up with these stimulus deals and corporate assistance money you'd wonder why it won't work. Well I tell you why things like this won't work. We are still in debt up past our foreheads. The stimulus made more debit for us.

http://www.josiegallows.com/2010/11/an-open-letter-to-the-young-left/ A conservative views entry discussing the dynamics between "Liberalism" and "Islam," in their fundamental and most popular forms, and how they essentially can not co-exist with the essentially Libertine basis of American Freedom. Further humor is provided with a tongue planted firmly in cheek. Share your thoughts, share the piece if you like it.

Recent unsettling revelations would indicate that, more and more, the US Chamber of Commerce is working for foreign nationals and corporations. Big business has been sending American jobs to other nations for a long time. Our current Congress has tried several measures to stop the bleeding and to bring some of those jobs back to Americans.

Ladies and gentlemen, My friend Dave and I, after spending a number of years reading posts have decided to finally start our own blod. Downright Right is somewhere for all ends of the political spectrum to engage in civil discourse. This passt week's election made me realize that our country is yearning to speak to each other on a basis for mutual respect to help guide our nation forward. I hope you will stop by and give us your feedback. http://downrightright.blogspot.com/ Andrew

Does anything convey the power, the austere dignity and awesome responsibility of the stewards of American democracy like the bike helmet? Why, there’s Ray LaHood, secretary of transportation taking part in a photo op wearing a sleek silver and blue helmet. I dunno about you, but the sight of the late-middle-aged secretary of a multi-billion-dollar cabinet department with his noggin encased in foam and shiny plastic is reassuring to me. Here’s a man who gets it, who’s going to spend my tax dollars not to improve the highway system to facilitate the movement of goods and citizens, but to construct...

One of the worst presidents in American hostory was elected in 2008. Barak Hussein Obama. Nothing would be sweeter than a rematch in 2012. McCain/Palin would slaughter Obama/Biden in 2012. We would have a bright red map on election day and the dems would be in tears. My mouth waters at the thought of all the furious democrats. They would get to watch just about all of what Hussein did reversed. I'd thoroughly enjoy every minute of it. No more socialist Obamacare and no more socialist agenda. We would go back to the days of individualism and hard work which...

Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to be fired.

With their numbers approaching 100,000 as a consequence of the troop buildup ordered by President Obama in December, U.S. troops now account for about two-thirds of the NATO force in Afghanistan. And American casualty rates are commensurate with that dominance, making up more than two-thirds of July's Western military fatalities, according to figures provided by icasualties.com, an independent website. With NATO allies distancing themselves from the notion of an open-ended stay in Afghanistan, the American aspect of the war comes increasingly to the fore.

And then there is Iran. Media coverage clearly points to the increasing likelihood of a U.S.-Israel offensive war against Iran. Do Americans want war with Iran? Can their economy stand what will be another unending war? Do 300 million Americans want to take on 1.4 billion Muslims who will be at least temporarily united after Washington and Israel start a war on Iran? Do these same Americans really want the violence in their towns and cities that Iran will sponsor after it is attacked? Can Americans trust their generals to put U.S. interests first after seeing General Petraeus kiss the...

I deposit the Risk into the account of a dummy finance company for management, called the republican party. Then, I deposit the damage into the account of a dummy corporation for control, called the democratic party. I leave all the bible belt religions as spoilers, or third parties; putting them down as department store chains. To stave off the profit into the mints money burning facility, to insure that the money is worthless in terms of pragmatic value, and is only practical believed values. And the Black market is pimped as bad but, even losing even your kindeys in a...

They’re still around. Being funded in Afghanistan by the State Department (that would be President Obama’s State Department), as a matter of fact. After private Blackwater contractors opened fire in Iraq and killed 14 civilians in September 2007, Obama jumped on it. He went so far as to say his fixes for Blackwater specifically were the the toughest reforms of any Presidential candidate.
