<title>&#x26;#x22;Flash of Fresh Air&#x26;#x22;</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2097442/posts</link>
<description>Currently playing at the metroplex is &#x26;#x93;Flash of Genius,&#x26;#x94; the story Robert Kearns, who invented the car intermittent windshield wiper. Kearns&#x26;#x92; invention was stolen by Ford Motor Company, which launched a long fight by Kearns to not only be paid for his invention, but to be given credit for it as well. There is a similar story, that of my dad, Robert Sherman. My dad invented and patented the portable, in-room climate control device &#x26;#x96; one that cooled or heated, humidified or dehumidified, and filtered the air. He filed for a patent on February 13, 1945, and on January 6,...</description>

<title>How the West Abolished Slavery</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2090319/posts</link>
<description>How The West Abolished Slavery by: Lance Nation, September 25, 2008 In the opening remarks of a recent Cato Institute event, David Boaz, the executive vice-president of the Cato Institute, asked an important question, &#x26;#x93;How is it that slavery went unchallenged for thousands of years, but disappeared in a single century?&#x26;#x94; Answering this question was James &#x26;#x93;Jim&#x26;#x94; Powell, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute. Taking from his new book, Greatest Emancipation: How the West Abolished Slavery, Jim Powell explained the importance Thomas Clarkson played in ending the slave trade. &#x26;#x93;[A British citizen in the 18th Century], Clarkson originally believed...</description>

<title>Forbes releases top 50 states for business. (Maine and other blue states still rank bottom)</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2087944/posts</link>
<description>Forbes Magazine recently released the top 50 states for business again.which ranks state economies especially with regards to small businesses which are the backbone of our economy. To no surprise, red right wing republican free states beat the Democrat liberal left wing socialist paradise states by an overwhelming number. 8 out of 10 states on the top ten were traditionally Republican with Nebraska beating Minnesota for number ten, while 7 out of 10 were traditionally Democratic. West Virginia was once again at rock bottom followed by Louisiana, Alaska and Maine. Mississippi, considered the worst state in the country was 42nd....</description>

<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2087141/posts</link>
<description>Founded earlier this year, Progressives for Obama (PFO). unites all the main leftist currents behind the Obama campaign-the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), the CPUSA offshoot Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)and former members of the &#x26;#x27;60s radical organisation Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)and its terrorist splinter group Weather Underground Organisation.</description>

<title>JFK AND TODAY&#x26;#x27;S LIBERALS: DIFFERENT ANIMALS</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2086959/posts</link>
<description>WHAT IS IT ABOUT LEFTISTS? As a former liberal, albeit going back to 1960 when I was a callow college freshman and supported Jack Kennedy even though I wasn&#x26;#x92;t old enough to vote for him mainly because he was of Irish extraction, I once thought liberalism was liberal. And what 18 year old wasn&#x26;#x92;t, &#x26;#x93;liberal?&#x26;#x94; As Churchill wisely pronounced, &#x26;#x93;If you&#x26;#x92;re not Liberal when you&#x26;#x92;re 25, you have no heart. If you&#x26;#x92;re not Conservative when you&#x26;#x92;re 35, you have no brain.&#x26;#x94; Even if that Winnie quotation is now being challenged by liberals more interested in parsing and qualifying rather than...</description>

<description>For those of you who do not typically use financial filings, I thought I would make it easy for you to access information on how the Presidential candidates&#x26;#x92; money works. Once you see how to access these candidates, I am hoping you can use this template to do the same for your Senators and Congressman.</description>

<description>I try not to talk politics much on this blog. Mainly because so many people do it so much better than I ever could. I don&#x26;#x92;t have that particular gift. But I suppose in recent weeks, it&#x26;#x92;s become obvious which ticket I&#x26;#x92;m voting for this year.</description>

<title>The Left is sacrificing our liberties for false security</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2078440/posts</link>
<description>The Roman Empire was founded a republic. The people had somewhat voice in the goings on in the Roman Senate. Although not perfect it provided some liberty to the people. But with massive militaristic expansion into Europe and North Africa along with a slave revolt lead by Spartacus, adding to this corruption ignorance and apathy, it lead the way for Julius Caesar to become its first emperor. From then on, Rome was lead by a series of despots, some wise, courageous and brilliant, others evil, decadent and incompetent. It happened because good men stood by and allowed the state to...</description>

<title>OBAMA&#x26;#x27;S MUSLIM FAITH OUTED!  AGAIN!</title>

<description>OBAMA&#x26;#x92;S MUSLIM FAITH OUTED&#x26;#x96;AGAIN! One slip doth not a Muslim make. Two slips doth not a Muslim make. But two slips added to all the other evidence, if they do not make Barack Hussein Obama an adherent to Islam sure must raise a ton of suspicions, or should. Senator Gaffe, aka Senator Obama, aka Senator Foot-in-Mouth made another (Freudian?) slip yesterday in an interview with George Stephanopoulis on ABC&#x26;#x92;s &#x26;#x93;This Week:&#x26;#x94; http://washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/07/obama-verbal-slip-fuels-his-critics/. In reporting the story, &#x26;#x93;Obama&#x26;#x92;s Verbal Slip Fuels His Critics,&#x26;#x94; the Times, far too graciously, I thought, said that, &#x26;#x93;when the Democratic presidential nominee was outlining his Christianity...</description>

<title>AP:  Only 4 In 10 Think Palin Is Qualified</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2075868/posts</link>
<description>A.P.: 6 IN 10 SAY PALIN IS UNQUALIFIED The Associated Press has released the results of an A.P. poll showing only 4 in 10 adults believe Sarah Palin is qualified for the presidency: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=35240. According to that same telephone poll of 505 people, only 4 in 10 felt &#x26;#x93;more favorably about her&#x26;#x94; because of her decision to give birth to Trig, a baby with Down Syndrome. The reader is obviously entitled to draw his or her conclusions based on those numbers. My conclusions are, one, that the A.P. poll is as flawed and biased as the A.P. is flawed and...</description>

<description>In the midst of an old article on Obama, here&#x26;#x27;s what voting &#x26;#x22;present&#x26;#x22; means to Obama in his own words: The &#x26;#x22;present&#x26;#x22; votes, Obama speculates, were cast by Republicans &#x26;#x22;who were embarrassed, who knew this was something they should be voting,&#x26;#x22; but didn&#x26;#x27;t want to defy party leaders.</description>

<title>...But Sarah is the Wrong Kind of Feminist!</title>
<link>http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2074678/posts</link>
<description>Sarah Palin should be a feminist&#x26;#x27;s dream. She&#x26;#x27;s a powerful woman who made it on her own and she has it all: A self-made career and a beautiful family. Her macho, union worker, snowmobile racing husband, Alaska&#x26;#x27;s &#x26;#x22;first dude,&#x26;#x22; is happy to play Mr. Mom while she runs the state. I know, it&#x26;#x27;s all about her anti-abortion, pro-guns and God stances... Can&#x26;#x27;t feminists at least give her props for her achievements before slamming her policies? Gloria Steinem was just quoted as saying &#x26;#x22;All Sarah Palin shares with Hillary is a chromosome.&#x26;#x22; All I can say is, thank God for that!...</description>

<title>OBAMA ON NATIONAL INSECURITY</title>

<description>OBAMA ON NATIONAL DEFENSE: MAKE NICE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! Say what you wish about the Democrats, but they do certainly learn from past mistakes such as McGovern&#x26;#x92;s promise to crawl on his hands and knees to Hanoi to achieve a peace at any price. Now they use subterfuge and nuanced comments to lull Americans into stupefaction. Quoted from Obama&#x26;#x92;s website: On Iraq: &#x26;#x93;Here is the truth: fighting a war without end will not force the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future. And fighting in a war without end will not make the American people safer.&#x26;#x94; (He...</description>

<description>What do you think about Senator John McCain&#x26;#x27;s choice? Most of us news producers were surfing the internet Friday afternoon looking for any and all information on Sarah Palin&#x26;#x27;s background. I came across her biography, &#x26;#x22;Sarah: How A Hockey Mom Turned Alaska&#x26;#x27;s Political Establishment Upside Down.&#x26;#x22; The author, Kaylene Johnson is a writer and long-time Alaskan who lives on a farm outside Wasilla, Alaska.

<title>spectacle and deception at the DemonRat Convention</title>

<description>In the first nights of the convention we beheld the spectacle of deceptive speeches by such leftists as Michelle Obama, Mark Warner, Bill and Hill and others who made big speeches about how America will be Utopia on earth when they control the congress the senate and the white house and that everything wrong with America is the fault of George W Bush and the republican party. When Clinton ran things things were smooth, then the minute Bush took office everything went to hell. We at MainestateGop were also nearly sucked into the brouhaha of bashing Bush and praising Democrat...</description>
