Free Republic

What a difference an inauguration makes. It was only a few months ago that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" was still the rage among the elite, liberal, "tolerant" class. But then Barack Obama became president. And now, suddenly, dissenters are paranoid, violent extremists worthy of surveillance by the federal Department of Homeland Security. Returning war veterans, who tend to be conservative and believe that terrorists ought to be called terrorists, need to be watched. Average working Americans who held polite "Tea Party" protests on April 15 against confiscatory taxes and rampant government spending — protests marked by a...

HURRY UP! It already disappeared once. Just put it up again but it probably won't stay long. Download if you can. Beautiful!

Cemetery Escort Duty I just wanted to get the day over with and go down to Smokey's. Sneaking a look at my watch, I saw the time, 1655. Five minutes to go before the cemetery gates are closed for the day. Full dress was hot in the August sun. Oklahoma summertime was as bad as ever--the heat and humidity at the same level--both too high. I saw the car pull into the drive, '69 or '70 model Cadillac Deville, looked factory-new. It pulled into the parking lot at a snail's pace. An old woman got out so slow I thought...

About one hour remains until the Senate votes on the Porkulus Looting of America Bill. Which means only one hour remains of the free America we were bequeathed by previous generations of patriots. We have done what we could, but our so-called rperesentatives, especially the blue state ones, refuse to heed the wishes of their constituents, and are set to approve a bill which will cement the doom of our beloved country. All that is left is a direct appeal to our benevolent God, to overlook our many sins as a nation and as individuals,to save our country, and to...

Joe Biden said last year that "paying taxes is patriotic." If that's so, Mr. Vice President, then tell us, are these individuals patriots? Tom Daschle Nancy Killefer Tim Geithner Caroline Kennedy

The 10 Big Lies About America: Combating Destructive Distortions about Our Nation By Michael Medved Crown Forum, $26.95, 280 pp. If your holiday get-togethers included a college student home for "Winter Break" fretting about professors preaching that America is land of inequality, founded on genocide and slavery for the benefit of corporations and imperial militarists -- and that all this Christmas stuff violates the secular founding of our diverse nation — I have an essential ingredient to include in a second semester care package. Michael Medved's The 10 Big Lies about America: Combating Destructive Distortions about Our Nation is a...

I’m an American. This has always been my favorite label, but of late even that has seemed to mean less and less. Being called an American used to carry with it a certain pride and esprit de corps that now apparently is dated and passe. How else can one explain the rash of America-haters in our midst who only claim pride in America if a Leftist resides in the White House, and can only back a war effort if the decision to go to war was that of a Democrat. I’m a Conservative. And I am also an actor who...

WASHINGTON - Joe Biden wrapped Old Glory around Barack Obama's plan to raise taxes on wealthy Americans, saying the rich should be "patriotic" and fork over more cash. "It's time to be patriotic, time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut," Obama's running mate said on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Families United had a Patriotic display at the Triangle park today in St. Paul MN. The great thing was having Jon Voight come down and talk to the Gold Star Families and the Blue Star Families and thank them for being so strong on supporting the Troops and Their Mission. Mr. Voight was very strong in his works of thanks and his talking of how he was thankful of learning as he got older how his veiws have changed for the better.

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2008 – Servicemembers, veterans and their families going through problems related to deployments can get help from a California-based troop-support organization. Members of the group, called Patriotic Hearts, have developed a plan to help families navigate the sometimes-unexpected issues they may face when a loved one returns from the front lines. The plan involves working with spouses of deployed servicemembers to map out welcome-home parties, helping veterans find jobs, and hosting military marriage-enrichment weekends. “This three-point plan also addresses the needs of the military children, who endure tremendous stresses,” Mark Baird, president of Patriotic Hearts, said....

Dreams of My Arugula by JohnHuang2 So, the final returns from West Virginia are in and Hillary has defeated the Prohibitive Favorite, The Runaway Front-runner by a teensy-weensy 41-point margin. Oh, no big deal — for the fall election, Obama’s written off West Virginia and Kentucky despite his vow to campaign in all 57 states. But, as they say, Obama has the nomination math on his side — recently underscored when he bagged another coveted superdelegate, Ahmed Yousef of Hamas. Obama got crushed despite a week of ‘Clinton dismisses calls to drop out’, ‘Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase’, ‘Clinton should...
