I am so tired of hearing what's wrong with our guys. Romney's a RINO. Newt slept with Nancy, and a bunch of others I guess. Santorum has no support. Paul is wacko. Cain was too black, so he had to be destroyed I guess. Palin is a supposed idiot, or she doesn't want to run. It's all so boring and depressing that I barely listen to Rush any more. I don't care whether he endorses someone, or not. The country is still going to hell in a handbasket. The usurping communist is still in the White House. Reid is still...

Ok, I have to rant. There are some Freepers who seem to really, really hate certain candidates. A majority of their post are saying sometimes nasty and mean things about that candidate. This is so typical of what’s wrong with Republicans and Conservatives in general. We will eat our own candidates and pull defeat from the jaws of victory. I see the same thing in Religion, which explains why there are dozens of Christian churches within miles of my house each claiming to be the "correct" way to God. I am in Texas. I like Perry but he has made...

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- President Barack Obama has a Sin City problem that won't go away. Obama is counting on Nevada's support for reelection next year. He easily won the Las Vegas Valley in 2008 and will probably win the largely Democratic, urban center again next year.

On the conference call for Wynn Resorts, CEO Steve Wynn went on a big rant on Occupy Wall Street, Obama, and deficits. Here are our notes in raw form. It's all mostly paraphrased. In a nutshell, he says: Deficits are killing us, our dollars are worthless, and the Democrats are bankrupting the country and vilifying anyone who's successful. So naturally, people are protesting.

Classic. On the conference call for Wynn Resorts, CEO Steve Wynn went on a big rant on Occupy Wall Street, Obama, and deficits. Here are our notes in raw form. It's all mostly paraphrased. In a nutshell, he says: Deficits are killing us, our dollars are worthless, and the Democrats are bankrupting the country and vilifying anyone who's successful. So naturally, people are protesting. It's very interesting about the folks who are occupying Wall Street. That group is quite diverse. There are people in there who think the government should give them more just because they are alive. There are...

WASHINGTON -- A rattled tone of desperation has taken hold of President Obama's once self-confident rhetoric as he struggles to rally his party's dispirited political base. With the Gallup daily tracking poll showing his job approval score falling to 39 percent over the weekend, Obama shocked Congressional Black Caucus Democrats at a dinner Saturday with an intemperate scolding for daring to criticize his mishandling of the economy. "I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain," he told the assembled black leaders. "I am going to press on. I expect all of you to...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday launched into his customary tirade against Israel and the West at the United Nations. Announcing he planned "to analyze the current situation from a different angle," Ahmadinejad immediately lambasted Israel saying the "Zionist regime imposes terror on the Palestinian people." Ahmadinejad also cast aspersion on the Holocaust and hinted the September 9/11 attacks occurred under dubious circumstances as well. The world, Ahmadinejad mused, "must wonder, if after six decades the Holocaust is still used as an excuse to pay ransom to the Zionists… what will happen if the same amount of money was allocated...

Today, I am FIT TO BE TIED INDEED! While I was listening to both Jim Vicevich, who is both a friend of mine and is the host of a local conservative talk radio show on WTIC AM 1080 this mid-morning and now another conservative talk radio show host, Rush Limbaugh on his national show on what was said by James Hoffa Jr. as well the SILENCE that came from the President Barack Hussein Obama White House. Mr. Hoffa Jr., head of the Teamsters union, had given that speech in the city of Detroit, MI, USA, which is so very ironic...

Yesterday the Dow dropped by 419 points. So how far does it drop today? Or do we see some of yesterday’s losses reversed? And --- the big question --- what’s with this effort to make us all believe that this is just “bad luck” brought on by the earthquake in Japan or free subways in Greece? How much longer are the American people going to be expected to swallow that nonsense? Just what has happened to bring us the worst recovery since the Great Depression? Why can’t our economy get on track? Just last week 408,000 additional American applied for...

The story is almost old hat these days. Despite constant warnings to be careful what you post on Facebook, a disgruntled employee who is irritated at a boss, a customer or a co-worker, takes to the social networking site to vent some spleen — and ends up getting disciplined or even fired. It’s a fate that has befallen a North Carolina waitress at a pizza restaurant, a Philadelphia Eagles stadium worker and a group of airline workers in recent months. But what if it’s the boss who decides to use Facebook to complain about an employee?

Steve Wynn has been getting a lot of air play throughout the news media and Internet for his famous rant on Barack Obama but guess what Steve – it’s partly YOUR fault. YOU said you voted for him and you supported Harry Reed. Why in the hell did you... (continued)

President Barack Obama alienated 37,00 twitter followers last night with scores of tweets urging followers to contact their local Congressman over the debt deal. With his approval rating sitting at an all-time low of 40 per cent amidst the debt crisis, tens of thousands of Americans unfollwed the President to avoid the deulge. The president’s staff sent a total of 118 tweets asking his followers to write their Republican lawmakers to demand a compromise on debt legislation. The first tweet read: 'The time for putting party first is over. If you want to see a bipartisan #compromise, let Congress know....

RUSH: "Tea Party Members Are Suggesting Speaker Boehner Be Replaced." I can't tell you how I knew this was coming, but I knew it was. I knew it was coming. The Tea Party people are serious. There's about a hundred of them in the House. Well, close to a hundred of them, 57, somewhere in there. But rank-and-file Tea Party voters understand something. Despite the massive landslide that occurred last November, both parties still have the same leadership. Nothing has changed. I knew this was coming. When I say I knew it was coming, because I have been told I...

With all of the talk of vitriolic rhetoric and images, the Left conveniently ignores so many vicious attacks–verbal and physical–on conservatives, Republicans, and anyone else who disagrees with them. They attempt to bully their political opponents into submission and silence–with the MSM in lock step with them–the mask off. And if there was even a shred of hope that the MSM would get back in the game of reporting the news, we now have confirmation that it is gone. Completely. Obviously, this hatred of the Right and America is a long term issue, but the torch continues to be passed....

Sarah Palin, the woman who put enough sizzle in McCain's 2008 presidential bid to make Republicans think they were finally cooking, now finds herself a few matches short of stoking her own political fire.  Palin has managed to maintain the conservative and national spotlight for three years since that failed White House bid.  She has won over the Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, the Tea Party, and Glenn Beck.  Yet a coveted demographic in her camp continues to elude her: the conservative woman.Sarah Palin is smart, pretty, and adventurous -- a strong red-white-and-blue conservative.  Truth be told, conservative women...

This is just about the best rant I have ever come across. I thought some FReepers might want to keep a copy with them as inspiration. ----------- You swine. You vulgar little maggot. Don’t you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Texas, I’ll bet you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won’t go away. I would rather kiss a lawyer than be seen with you. You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are...

I feel the need to get a few things off my chest, even if nobody's listening, so here goes. 1. Collective bargaining has no place in the government sector. People who work at the taxpayer's pleasure are already very well compensated (usually, as always, there are exceptions). These folks generally have pensions, health insurance, vacations, full-time positions and JOB SECURITY. They also receive compensation commensurate with their duties. All unions are out there for (in modern times) is to line the pockets of corrupt union officials and corrupt politicos. 2. Why keep pushing for government funding of high speed rail?...

I think there is a chance that there is actually something to this. A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives' brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other "primitive" emotions. At the same time, conservatives' brains were also found to have a smaller anterior cingulate -- the part of the brain responsible for courage and optimism....it may help to explain why conservatives like to plan based on the worst-case scenario, while liberals tend towards rosier outlooks.Get the whole story at Raw Story I don't know anything about...

The European Jewish Congress (EJC) called Wednesday for the Greek Orthodox church to remove the Metropolite of Piraeus, Seraphim, after the high-ranking priest sounded an anti-Semitic rant on Greek TV. Speaking on the morning show on Mega-TV, the largest television station in Greece, Seraphim blamed world Jewry for Greece's financial problems. "Mixing Freemasons with Jewish bankers such as Baron Rothschild and world Zionism, the Metropolite said that there is a conspiracy to enslave Greece and Christian Orthodoxy," JTA reported. He also accused "international Zionism" of trying to destroy the family unit by promoting one-parent families and same-sex marriages. Thirteen minutes...

The group "No Labels" kicked off its first conference Monday at New York's Columbia University with just one label largely absent: "Republican."The non-partisan initiative with the slogan, "Not Left. Not Right. Forward", is seeking to fill what the American people regularly tell pollsters is the vital center: a non-ideological space where the commitment is to getting things done. And its speakers—who ranged from Republican moderates like ex-Virginia Rep. Tom Davis to liberal Democrats like New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand—sang the praises of cooperation and compromise. But the only Republicans present at Columbia University's modern, square Alfred Lerner Hall seemed...

At the height of the health care reform debate last fall, Bill Sammon, Fox News' controversial Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing his network's journalists not to use the phrase "public option." Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox's reporters should use "government option" and similar phrases -- wording that a top Republican pollster had recommended in order to turn public opinion against the Democrats' reform efforts.... Two months prior to Sammon's 2009 memo, Republican pollster Frank Luntz appeared on Sean Hannity's August 18 Fox News program. Luntz scolded Hannity for referring to the "public option" and encouraged Hannity to use "government option" instead....

Those who deal with Orioles designated hitter Luke Scott on a daily basis know the deal: Scott is one of the nicer, happier guys in baseball. He is also one of the most outspoken players about things he believes strongly in. That starts with religion and his Christian beliefs. He is also a huge Second Amendment supporter – and has gone on national TV on multiple occasions about the right to carry guns. And he is a big right-wing conservative. Oftentimes he’ll share his opinions in the clubhouse. He says things matter-of-factly, and those around him have come to accept...

Fans of Alfonzo Rachel will not be disappointed...:) Perfect rant on this day, 9-11-2010!

To say that Phil Davison is passionate about the state of the treasurer's office in Stark County, Ohio might be the understatement of the year. The Republican -- "I have been a Republican in times good, and I have been a Republican in times bad!" he declares -- was seeking his party's nomination to be county treasurer and made a somewhat crazed plea for his party's approval this week. Davison, a Minvera, Ohio councilman, lost the nomination to North Canton Finance Director Alex Zumbar,

China's top-ranking UN diplomat embarked on a drunken rant against the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, telling his boss he'd "never liked" him, and adding for good measure that he didn't like Americans either.The outburst by Sha Zukang at a retreat for top UN officials in the Austrian ski resort of Alpbach left senior UN officials cringing in embarrassment as others tried to convince him to put down the microphone, according to Washington-based Foreign Policy magazine. "I know you never liked me Mr. Secretary-General – well, I never liked you, either," said Mr Sha as Mr Ban looked on, smiling...

RE: Rangel's RantPosted by Jay Newton-Small Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 4:45 pm The Speaker Pro Tempore: For what purpose does the gentleman from New York seek recognition? The house will be in order. Members will take their seats. The house will be in order. Members will please clear the aisles. The chair is aware of a valid basis for the gentleman's point of personal privilege. The gentleman from New York is recognized for one hour … Rangel: I rise to the floor because the newspapers and the media have indicated that there's a concern of some of the members...

CNBC’s Rick Santelli, who first burst out onto the scene with his famous “class rant” which also called for the formation of the tea party movement, came out once again with another classic rant.

For over a generation, the left has been lying to (and sometimes abusing) us (and our children) in public schools. They've insinuated themselves and their complete rebellion against any moral standard into our institutions: business, media, academia, government. Now they're abusing the highest offices in the land and wreaking domestic and geopolitical havoc, making this great land a laughingstock and whipping boy for the nations. There is no assurance that America will ever recover from the damage these worms have done.So, why do we allow it?

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama needs to wake up to the fact that the nation’s school systems are going down the drain. Thousands of teachers are facing a payless summer. Millions of school children are looking at a drop in educational standards and bigger classes. We are depriving students of their right to a decent education. Granted that school systems are under state control, the federal government needs to step up and help them overcome their financial woes. Aren’t the schools too important to fail? U.S. priorities are to spend billions every week for the unjustified and unexplained wars in...

Hitler rants about the Downfall Parodies being blocked. Created by hitlerrantsparodies Clip From Downfall (Der Untergang)

When rubber must meet road, the GOP is as clear as the mud in a Louisiana swamp. Oh, they talk a good game; but, in the end, they act no different than the Democrats. Somewhere in Washington D.C. there must exist a vast graveyard of detached spines... since I have yet to encounter a sitting Republican who is still in possession of his, and the Democrats never had one to begin with … except when it comes to screwing the American people – then they are indefatigable juggernauts, while the Republicans practice their knitting. The GOP is infested by a...

WTH is going on here? Is this really that important? Every news channel is waiting for his press conference.....CNBC even has people talking about how this will affect endorsements. It's not like we hav a corrupt government, housing crisis, massive unemployment, two wars or anything! Pathetci does not begin to describe it. Who cares what this person has to say? Am I the only one who is disgusted?

Editor’s note: We found this note on a Web site being pointed at by social media users. A search showed the domain that the note was posted on is registered to Joe Stack of San Marcos. A man by the same name, who has addresses in both Austin and San Marcos has been linked to today’s airplane crash. If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be...

"This is being touted all over the web as Mr. Stacks Last statement". It Reads: If you’re reading this, you’re no doubt asking yourself, “Why did this have to happen?” The simple truth is that it is complicated and has been coming for a long time. The writing process, started many months ago, was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken.

I write to you out of utter disdain! You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda. I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam, as my son did in the Middle East. I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a...

Zo's rant about the Scott Brown election.

When did kids stop saying thank you for all the candy they're getting. I am running about 1 in 4 of the kids saying thank you, and I am not talking about the little ones either. Only about half are even saying trick or treat. I also saw some parents following the kids in their car, and I am on a small circle street. Are they just too lazy to walk with the kids?

Back be popular demand, Jim Vicevich's famous last 30 minutes RANT. … so here it is. I’m off in a cubical somewhere trying to determine why a Web server won’t behave and my cell phone starts buzzing, and buzzing, and buzzing. I see tons of e-mails with keywords like rant, go Jim, and YES! – Here is the audio … There may also have been something about a thrown water bottle, but I have no idea what was going on during that last 30 minutes… Mr. Joyce captured the audio, so here it is …

For the first time in my life, I HATE being an American. I hate living in this country knowing that life will never be the same...Our right for the pursuit of happiness is being flushed down the crapper right before our very eyes!!

Like swarms of know-it-all gnats or plagues of lecturing locusts, progressive do-gooders just can't refrain from admonishing us... Another day, another scold from the Obama White House. First they tell us to wash our hands and show us how to sneeze, now they're going to teach us about "green-house gas emissions": When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons. The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu...

How's that post-partisan hope and change working out? The Booblemann-Tardball Connection 10% unemployment, well-funded brownshirts from americorps and acorn pledging allegiance to The Supreme Leader, a toadie press that demonizes el presidente's opposition for him, a political class impervious to the inquiries of ordinary citizens. I've seen this before. I've lived it. This is not a third-world dictatorship. Far from it. But it has all the trappings. Thank you President Obama for bringing the third-world to America. It started with the cult of personality and unwarranted hero worship formerly found only in Venezuela and obscure African countries. Now our...

Things are going well for Ted Nugent. He just released a DVD of his 6000th concert, he has a new reality show coming out next month and he has the satisfaction of knowing of being able to say "I told you so" to anyone who's doubted his political opinions. "Life is wonderful," he tells Spinner. I've done the right things. I've never been liberal so I've got a nest egg. I've always lived within my means." These days, you can see, hear or read Nugent's thoughts on politics and the country everywhere you go. "If I try to make my...

Warning, naughty words. One of the best animated spoofs ever !!!!

For those highly mistaken people who think the liberals are the ones who bring gentleness and compassion and reasonableness to the political debate, we always have the rebuttal. It’s called the Daily Kos. This Thursday "diary" recently made it to the top of the Kosmonauts’ recommended list, despite the fact that the writer needs his keyboard washed out with soap: F*** you Dick Cheney! F*** your pompous condecension. F*** your straw men! F*** your mischaracterizations! F*** your sniveling attempts to keep you and your buddies asses out of federal (somewhat offensive movie quote removed, happy now?) prison! F*** your presumption...

I just got a phone call from a nice lady who said she had a message for me from Michael Steele. She told me how shameful it was that Mr. Obama would bow to a Saudi and was urging my support of the RNC. I cut her spiel short and agreed that the bow and overall moral cowardice of that man is a disgrace. (I am praying that Mr. Obama will become a man of courage and decency.) I then made it very clear that in my eyes, Mr. Steele has been less than a mighty force for Conservatism--so far....

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins has announced he won't challenge Louisiana Sen. David Vitter in 2010:

I guess I shouldn't be amazed at the number of slacker ignoramuses who are up in arms about my frank review cutting down the absolute crap they worship a/k/a "The Watchmen", coming out in theaters late tonight. The e-mails they send me and the comments they make about how "deep," "edgy" and "profound" this vile piece of trash (which is none of these) reminds me of the blind statements of followers of Jim Jones. And we all know what happened after they drank he purple Kool-Aid. If only this movie could achieve that result, it would be the most fantastic...

An adviser to Iran's president on Sunday demanded an apology from a team of visiting Hollywood actors and movie industry officials, including Annette Bening, saying films such as "300" and "The Wrestler" were "insulting" to Iranians. Without an apology, members of Iran's film industry should refuse to meet with representatives from the nine-member team, said Javad Shamaqdari, the art and cinema adviser to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "In my viewpoint, it is a failure to have an official meeting with one who is insulting," Shamaqdari told The Associated Press. The film "300," portrays the battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C., in...

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama was recently accused of being too much of a downer about the economy. Well, he certainly made up for that this week with his highly optimistic "yes-we-can" campaign-style speech to Congress. "We will rebuild, we will recover and the United States will emerge stronger than ever," Obama declared. "It is time for America to lead again." His upbeat remarks in a 52-minute State of the Union-style address to a joint session of Congress frequently brought the lawmakers to their feet as they roared their approval. The nationally televised event put the changing face of America...
