Free Republic

I have been a member of FreeRepublic since February 1998, and in all my years I have ever seen so many Freepers support, and defend such a leftist candidate as Donald Trump. In the old days, any candidate that spouted the rhetoric coming out of his mouth would have been received with unanimous hatred from Freepers. Mitt Romney was met with scorn when he claimed to have changed and was more conservative than his record showed. However, The Donald says the same thing and he is allowed to wear his liberal record as badge of honor, because he has been...

I ask that you please bear with me as get something off my chest. I have been somewhat calm, yet quietly angry inside for the last 5 years. However, something happened today that is finally making my frustration meter reach the ballistic stage. Before I start going Rambo on some bureaucrats, I need to get this all off my chest. This will be long, but what I am sharing with you is what my life has been like in the last 5 years.I turn 65 on September 17, next Month. Now I have been collecting my SS check for...

Many years ago, shortly before Christmas, there was a young boy named Ricky. His father had to go away for awhile, and so his family had to move to another part of the city where his mom could be closer to the place where she worked. It was far away from the neighborhood Ricky new and the friends he left behind, but soon he met a new friend who lived near by. It was the day before Christmas, with fresh snow on the ground and Christmas music playing on the radio. His older sisters were helping mom bake Christmas...

I for one do not like the result of this primary race, but who would after they put their heart and soul into wanting to win. It was a classic battle, but Trump won. Just like military academies teach the logistics of histories greatest battles of war, so too will this epic battle be taught for generations to come by Political Science instructors. The lessons learned will effect the way politicians run their campaigns for decades. Both sides got down and dirty, as they obliterated the detente that made everyone speculate about why the they refused to attack each other...

Thanks to pissed off MN CD 4 voter for finding this gem and sharing with us. What you will see is a sad display of disrespect by a United States Congresswoman from Minnesota, Democrat Betty McCollum. It is a video that Betty does not want her voters to see, but it's too late Betty, you have been exposed.  After watching this video you will see how obvious it is that she she intentionally omitted the words, "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.   At the time, her staffers claimed she took a breath, but with the video now out,...

OneVike has been a Freeper since early 1998, and it seems he is having some medical troubles. I know OV from before I joined FreeRepublic, in fact he is the one who turned me onto FR. I have not regretted the day I joined, and I have many new friends I would not have had if it were not for him getting me to join. OV has never been one to worry about his own troubles much, instead he is usually asking others to pray for his paraplegic wife who has had her share of troubles. I found out...
