I think this is a good time to filter the trash out of our party. We Republicans tend to tip toe through the tulips. But if we want to get our party back, we need to do it now. As much as I dislike Obama. and many of us mocked his "get in their faces quote". I want to ask you. How did we dominate the healthcare debate in August ? We stood up and got in their faces. It worked. You can do this without being violent,... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2383201/posts#comment Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:39:26 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2358600/posts Barack Obama awarded the coveted 'Silver Sow' award for newsreporting in the greater Cincinnati area.

They don't like his past positions on abortion, healthcare, and gay marriage. They feel his rightward shift on social issues to be less than sincere. Many conservatives are angered by the Left's attempts to character assassinate Palin thru silly ethics complaints. They have made Palin's administration and family into side shows. The ethics complaints have driven her to be $500,000 in debt. This situation might provide an opening for Romney to gain Palin's support. Romney could step in to pay off Palin's legal debt. He then could make a speech about how... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2285368/posts#comment Sat, 4 Jul 2009 12:09:47 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/2279775/posts Six Most Important Factors that destroyed Roman Civilization: 1)Overtaxation 2)Opression of the Provences by the Central Government 3)Government topheavy with bureaucracy 4)Military power overextended across the world(their world at the time) 5)The Populace diverted by degenerate mass entertainment 6) The Borders poorly defended against increasing foreign migration(in their case, Barbarians) Osnome http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/2279775/posts#comment Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:16:21 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2218091/posts Of all this week's news, this is the only life-changing thing I've seen: "Somali Muslims Changing Small Town" (direct) From the (mainly sympathetic) article: Immigrants are chosen from UN refugee camps. The selected refugees then undergo a few days of cultural orientation and are soon on their way to America. Like me, you probably assumed that the one redeeming feature of such "refugees" was that at least they possessed the industriousness to try and make it to America; that at least they had enough of a personal desire to come to America, to try and get to America by themselves.... me http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2218091/posts#comment Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:19:52 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2193729/posts Is there a way to see everything except one Caucus.

I feel that there is a steady effort to disown her at the RNC and among East Coast elites. But I have also talked to some run of the mill conservatives recently who are not Palin fans, and that shocked. I get the feeling that Governor Palin has a lot of work to do. 2012 will be an uphill battle. But I wanted to ask you all.. Why are so many Republicans dead set against her ? and why is her support seemingly frozen at the moment ?... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2168371/posts#comment Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:56:01 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2151647/posts Anybody know if its still possible to get a donation back from the McCain campaign? I made a $200 donation on Oct. 30th and want a refund. The reasons are obvious! If you know who I should contact to make this happen let me know. If you think its impossible let me know. Or if there is another thread on this, let me know that too.

This song was going through my head the past few days by Al Wilson entitled "The Snake". Now the song is about a foolish woman who in spite of her better judgment rescues a poor half frozen snake and takes it home. The media really knows better for they had all the warning information on Obama and then some. And the arrogance and radicalness of Obama could very well come back to bite them royally. So in honor of the media, here is...

In a lot of the earlier polls they were getting 15-30% more Democrats than Republicans and almost as many if not more independents as Republicans. As the election gets closer are they shifting to a closer balance of Republicans to Democrats? Are they playing other games? The polls would need to be compared to others done by that same firm (Gallup to Gallup, etc.)... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2122241/posts#comment Sun, 2 Nov 2008 02:43:49 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2121732/posts Regardless of whether McCain wins or loses, it is clear that the Republican Party has some rebuilding to do. We need to refocus and re-sell conservatism. We need to find our Goldwater and Reagan to reignite the movement, reinvigorate the party, and re-vindicate conservatism. But, I've been wondering what becomes of the Democratic Party if Barack Obama loses this election. They will have taken the most advantageous electoral situation imaginable -- and squandered it. I long for the days when the Democratic Party was a reasonable conservative alternative -- when I actually had a decision to make electorally. Ideally, the...

This my first and only message on Free Republic in about 2 years, or more. Free Republic was shut down on March 15, 2010, as part of the the Internet Freedom Act of 2009. Jim Robinson was declared a Information Criminal and executed months later. His son still languishes in prison. It is December 26, 2012.

Back in those days it was our own "Freeper Airforce" who took to the skies to put up these political messages.
