Free Republic

There is a lot of talk about civil disobedience regarding this healthcare bill. Folks have said they will refuse to purchase into it, thus breaking the law. A thought I had is, what about the 2010 census. What if we refuse to participate or under/over report our household numbers. If we refuse to obey the census law or just delay would that send a message?

You've got to listen to this audio. It's terrible what this woman went through - she clearly has a hard time doing what had to be done - but it's also a sign of why it's a good thing the second amendment allows Americans to defend themselves and their property. The burglar was probably stoned and "crazy." He might have done terrible things to the woman if she wouldn't have stopped him. This was the most obvious case of "self defense" if ever there was one. I’d call it a palate cleanser except that it’s too riveting and simply …...

Why is every single thread that I log onto this day after Thanksgiving, have a picture of Mitt Romney, that then trashes him?? Does JimRob and this website condone the Palin trashers, and try to create a Mitt backlash, to trash him? Does this website wish to promote a Republican/Conservative candidate who has no real business experience, like our current loser-in-chief, Zer0? Mitt has problems, as do each and every Pubbie, Conservative, or RAT potential to lead this once great US! Back off on the hits to Romney, (or maybe do you see him as a threat, much like the...

PLANET 7 - BAN NOW!

This video is for the Noobs and Noob observers

I don't enjoy Sean's radio show. It's too predictable, and he plays the nice guy too much. Any thoughts?

If the population of this country does not wake up pretty damn soon then we are not going to wake up smelling the roses, but the corpses. Lib dims are in charge of everything in the gov't now and they are hell bent on wrecking the very things that make America unique. PC run amok. Radical academics/activists in key posts with no restraints, and fed budget size money to spend,, this is socialist nirvana. I just spent the time to read the health care bill and after sifting thru the legal and politik speak, abortion and euthanasia are, of course,...

Wow. I find it utterly astounding that people wasted their effort criticizing somebody for simply posting up lyrics to a song. You guys are truly leading the revolution! Right from your lap tops. Haha. I wonder if you would have the guts for any real activism. Doubt it highly. Have fun continuing to be a part of the millions of Americans, who believe that they are informed about world affairs from what CNN gives you. Count me out. And by the way... I do work. I dont do any kind of drug. But hey. What do I care if you...

Now that would be a great story, except for one thing...its not true. Still I'm sure plenty of people will read the headline and not the copy. For those who don't know, Mcleod is the “Ethics Nazi” of Alaska who politically stalked Palin while she was Governor, and filed numerous ethics complaints against her and brought on a lawsuit. Now I can't say for fact, and have no real basis to suspect that she probably has assisted in perpetuating rumors about the ex-Governor, but certainly by her actions she has encouraged it and I'm sure if asked she would not...

Dear Mr. Robinson: I've given the matter quite a bit of thought and have decided it is time to ZOT you. I was tempted when I noticed posters were allowed to insult anyone who disagreed with them; even more tempted when I saw new posters banned for asking questions, or expressing an opinion outside the mainstream - (though I must confess anyone adopting the screen name "Christ was killed by conservatives" was not going to last very long ! I'm sure he was referring to the Sanhedrin, but still...) When I saw your post today about getting "millions of people"...

2nd Declaration of Independence We the people of the United Sates of America do hereby declare our independence from the Socialist Federal Bureaucracy, which is considered by the people to have exceeded its Constitutional authority and function as the administrator of the government FOR THE PEOPLE, and do hereby demand, according to the rights provided us by the Declaration of Independence, the following: ARTICLE: I. The immediate abolishment of the Federal Bureaucracy, excessive Federal Government and the establishment of the minimal Constitutionally defined central Federal Government II. The immediate restriction of Congress to its specific Constitutionally defined authority and the...

Michael Steele, the new Chairman of the Republican Party, has said some things about hip hop which have caused quite a stir. According to Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, whose political expertise everyone takes very seriously, Michael Steele "wants to redefine conservatism; he wants to make it hip hop, put it in a new package and sell it." What Joe the Plumber fails to realize is that, in its heart, hip hop really is conservative.

I have a photo that I would like to post. If I understand it correctly, I need to upload the photo somewhere so it can be retrieved by FR. My question is where do people upload photos to? Hopefully, I'm on the right path.

A new study shows that states that consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption. "When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the same than different," says Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School. However, there are some trends to be seen in the data. Those states that do consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption, the study finds. "Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of the very things...

You all were so helpful with a question on seeds the other day that I have another one for you. Preparing for the most basic needs of a SHTF scenario, I have a wonderful shotgun and .22. As far as adding a high power rifle goes, I know what I'd LIKE to have but that's another story. Is there a consensus on a quality-made, affordable rifle, and what should I expect to pay? Would it be a bad idea to buy from a pawn shop? For those of you who seem to like to "notice" these things, yes, it's my...

It looks as though the USSC or for that matter any of our elected representatives are going to do anything to call into question Barrack Obama's foreign national status. So, it's up to us (American Citizens) to apply the pressure to get them to take notice. We can BOYCOTT any spending on luxury/non-essential items. This will get the governments attention. Pay your bills but don't spend your tax refund, don't spend your stimulus payment. Call in to local radio talk shows.......you know the drill. If it's good enough for Jesse Jackson, then it is certainly good enough for us in...

Carolyn Kennedy is a major contendor for the vacant senate seat in NY, because as George Stephanopoulos says, she can pony up more money for the republican party than anyone else. There is absolutely no word of scandal about that. That's not much different than Rod trying to get the person who can pony up the most money....Ok the cause is different, but it's the same thing!!!

There has always been a desire to maintain credibility and integrity on Free Republic. That is eroding with each new, Obama, birth certificate story. Many of those creating this ruckus claim are flying a false flag of Constitutionality when it is actually an effort to paint all Conservatives with the broad brush of conspiratorialism of the most dangerous kind. Thank you.

To my Conservative Friends: As I have told ya in the past - That Barack Obama - He's one smooth talker!!!! If any of you just came back from a 2-year trip to Mars and had no idea who Barry Hussein Obama was, and watched our new President on Meet the Depressed yesterday, you would swear to Ronald Reagan that you were listening to a new, Republican President. Not a rock-ribbed lefty from the south side of Chi-town!!! The obvious question that begs for an answer is - Do you buy it??? Now, I don't want to spoil your Monday...

International law enforcement officialdom has plenty of work to do as Indian “morning of terror” still unfold to this day.

We sit in a situation that is beyond scary. We face financial ruin and are barely holding our heads above water. My husband has a decent job, but recently had is wages cut by 40 grand a year. He cannot find a job that will compensate for his loss, I took up a full time job to make ends meet which helps, but we are now so far in the hole we cannot get out. We are behind on our mortgage, maxed out credit cards, and struggling to pay simple bills. We are doing everything in our power to get...

my couisn was murdered by obamas pals bill ayers and his naty wife bernadine dorhn. where the justice in electing their pal??

I'm new here and hoping you can help me. I have a friend who told me that I should take McCain's speech last night to heart . . . that I should be positive, trust my country, and support our new president. Does this advice reflect true conservative values? What should I tell him?

Despite the awful outcome of the election we are all still Americans and should be proud of that fact so before you go to bed tonight I want you to sing "I'm proud to be an American" loud and proud.

Friends: If you've been listening to the news and poll results this past week, you're probably thinking the election on Tuesday is a mere formality at this point, and that the outcome is all but pre-ordained. Nothing could be further from the truth. Did you know, for instance, that pollster John Zogby predicted Barack Obama would beat Hillary Clinton in the California Presidential Primary by 13 points? She won by 9.6 percent. That's nearly a TWENTY-THREE POINT DIFFERENCE (result vs. poll prediction). The same exact thing happened in many other States. How can any "professional" pollster be off by TWENTY-THREE...

This is a poll I made. Please be honest with your answers! Thanks!

I was going to put on the gas mask and pull the lever for McCain this November but events of the past few days have led me not to vote for him. 1: McCain speaking at the racist, reconquista La Raza conference. 2: McCain still opposed to drilling in ANWR and comparing it to drilling in the Grand Canyon despite $4 + and climbing gas prices. Accoring to NRO Corner when asked about this he seemed peeved someone would have the audacity to ask him that question. 3: McCain giving veto power to coastal states on offshore drilling. The US...

It's good to see The Second Amendment proudly upheld out in Nevada.

It was the most traumatic experience the Smoak family of North Carolina has ever had, and it happened yesterday afternoon as they traveled through Cookeville on their way home from a vacation in Nashville. Before their ordeal was over, three members of the family had been yanked out of their car and handcuffed on the side of Interstate 40 in downtown Cookeville, and their beloved dog, Patton, had been shot to death by a police officer as they watched. What was their crime? There was no crime. But a passerby with a cell phone apparently assumed a crime had occurred...

Fred Thompson the subject of a new book to be released in Aug/Sept tying his entrance into the 2008 Presidential race to the defeat of the Republican Party in 2008. Book will claim Thompson's entrance and later withdrawal, reminiscent of Ross Perot with delegates diverted from more electable candidates.

Has El Rushbo actually forgotten how our coalition was built? "Both McCain and Huckabee are actively seeking support from non-Republicans. If I didn't know better, I'd say some of these candidates have some sort of grudge against the Republican Party and are trying to harm it." Seems like he has. Think what you will about McCain or Huckabee, but Rush is not right on this one. In fact, there was another guy who appealed to Democrats and Independents in building a winning electoral coalition. Rush has heard of him... and even has an affectionate name for him: Ronaldus Magnus. I...

I have some ideas on how we can capitalize on the Hillary plants

I'm angry when I see the unfair united effort to shut out true conservatives like Duncan Hunter. Many Christian Conservatives are acting like cowards. They fear men rather choosing the very best person. Even if that person is not well know with a lot of money behind them. They ignore Duncan Hunter's stand on the issues.The people are not listening to him. He has a definite plan and vision for America. All the Rinos are starting copying him. He makes them look bad. The Rinos only see money. For themselves. They are more afraid of Hillary Clinton and the believe...

WASHINGTON, June 28 — With competing blocs of justices claiming the mantle of Brown v. Board of Education, a bitterly divided Supreme Court declared Thursday that public school systems cannot seek to achieve or maintain integration through measures that take explicit account of a student’s race.

An unbeatable ticket, one that would leave Hillary Clinton in the dust, is Giuliani/Lieberman. Clinton could easily lose her own state. Lieberman's a conservative Democrat (in some ways), Giuliani's a liberal Republican (in some ways) -- satisfying any combination in taste. But both have the most pressing issue of our time in focus. That issue is NATIONAL SECURITY. This is the dream ticket. Imagine election night. What a hoot.

Maybe someone can help me locate a proper group for this. The problem is I may know of a probable sexual predator (pedophile) who has never been caught. I live a different state than him. Is there any groups who have interests in keeping track of this kind of activity and ultimately apprehending and convicting this person? He's in Ohio

When I check into this site, often there were interesting discussions from the day before I want to look at. But they are already buried 4 pages deep because it seems some people just post anything they find. Who cares about a radio station promotional announcements, Bruno Kirby dying, or any of this other tripe that some people are posting up. I'm new here, but it seems that some guys are pretty much spamming the blog with articles that rate a "1" on the who gives a crap meter. If it isn't something that we will still remember in 10...

The most visible male homosexual lobbyist in the Massachusetts State House has been arrested for soliciting oral sex from college students at the University of Massachusetts, according to newspaper reports. William Conley works for the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus and has been the point man for coordinating legislative support for funding homosexual programs (including the new "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth") in the public schools, as well as same-sex "marriage", repeal of the sodomy laws, and other homosexual-related legislation.Conley has been a member of the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth", and has now become a...

Here's the place to post your pet peeves! Here are mine: 1. Liberals, lawyers, hypocrites, etc...wait, this list is getting redundant! 2. People who pronounce water as "wooter" and wash as "warsh", and strength/length as "strenth/lenth". So basically, people with Baltimore accents 3. Walking down a crowded hallway in school and the idiot in front of you stops and turns around 4. When people refer to the Czech Republic as just "Czech", or say "Slovakian" instead of the correct adjective, Slovak 5. Alarm clocks 6. People who whine. Oh wait, I already said liberals 7. Anti-war whackos, animal rights whackos,...

LONDON -- British authorities disrupted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up several aircraft midair between the United Kingdom and the U.S. using explosives smuggled in hand luggage, officials said Thursday.

Michael Moore says he is even more popular these days and Repbulicans come up to hug him. Even if you could fit your arms around him, would you want to hug this guy?

While attending an ATHGO World Bank symposium last week at the World Bank Group headquarters, I was exposed to hundreds of young men and women falling over one another in their attempts to help the aggregate of the third world population. The set of defined objectives we were all striving to implement were the United Nations eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The eight goals - crafted in 2000 at the UN Millennium Summit - "when achieved, will end extreme poverty worldwide by 2015." The conference itself focused on goals one, two, and six: ending extreme poverty and hunger, providing universal...

China increased its bank reserve requirement yesterday by .5 percent to 8.5 percent in an attempt to siphon off excess liquidity. The move comes just after China's second quarter report put its GDP growth rate at 11.3 percent. While raising the reserve requirement is considered by many countries to be a very blunt monetary policy instrument, China's blistering economic growth warrants something stronger than simply raising interest rates to tighten credit. The central bank has even said that a 10 percent reserve requirement by the end of the year is not out of the question.

Despite the clear economic case against a higher federal minimum wage, "moderates" in Congress are continuing the push the issue. Fortunately, House conservatives are not going along with this misguided effort, and members of the Republican Study Committee circulated this letter on Capitol Hill yesterday.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Bush White House and its lackeys in the Senate have reached a new low in their quest to bestow amnesty on 11 million to 20 million illegal immigrants, while doing as little as possible to secure our nation's borders and ports.
