Free Republic

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala,) is absolutely opposed to any new restrictions on guns — even regarding military-style assault weapons — because people need them to “take back” our government, he explained on Fox News Sunday. Such action should only be undertaken in the event America becomes “dictatorial,” Brooks told host Sandra Smith. “Oh, no, that’s wrong. That is absolutely false,” said Brooks, before Smith corrected him yet again. Brooks claims the whole idea of the Second Amendment was to arm citizens to take over the country if need be — and that not having enough guns will spark the appetite...

Saving America starts by Saving the Children It’s too late for the millennials. They’re the snowflakes in the crucible of progressive Hell, totally unaware of totalitarianism, of the inherent misery of Socialism, Marxism, Communism, and the New World Order being ushered in by the global elite. But it’s NEVER too late to save the millions of children still in school. School children, in various stages of indoctrination courtesy of the public education system, are the future of America. Average school children have been exposed during the last eight years to the ‘progressive’ policies of the America-hating President Barack Obama, whose...

This election is about--and ONLY about--SAVING AMERICA Senator Ted Cruz, booed right off the stage at last night’s Republican National Convention, did not stick the knife in Donald Trump’s back as charged. Whether he realizes it or not, whether it was intentional or not, the Texas senator firmly stuck the shiv in America’s back. By letting his ego lead him to Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena he wrote the script for Hillary Clinton’s Big Night at the Democratic National Convention. Clinton will seize the Cruz RNC moment to advance her trajectory as Obama’s 3rd term in the White House. We can...

Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) may be the brightest light to adorn the Republican party in many years. He knows how to make the case for conservative ideas, pointing, for example, to the contrasting fates of Detroit and Houston to illustrate the superiority of conservative policies. So it’s particularly galling to see that rather than train his fire at Obama and the liberal machine that cocoons him, Cruz has become a one-man wrecking ball against Republicans. His most recent foray into sabotaging his colleagues concerned the debt-limit increase. Because Speaker Boehner sent over a “clean” debt-limit bill, Republican senators had...

--snip--To try to get America back on its feet, the Republicans in Congress need to keep things simple and be downright tough. The program needs to include 1) across-the-board serious budget cuts (10% plus a year) in every department; 2) refuse to fund ObamaCare, period; 3) stop so-called greenhouse gas regulation outright before it cripples American industry based on junk science; and 4) make individual liberty and its promotion the touchstone of any government program, thereby expanding the reach and appeal of the GOP and recalling it to its roots...

Are there enough Christians left that put God over everything else? Will they pray hard enough to garner favor from God for America's future? Is that even a good idea? Maybe its always been about choices and a chosen few. Moses came off of the mount in time to see people worshiping a golden calf. Yet in the end, the true believers made it to the promised land.

To explain the personal journey an individual takes from wide eyed liberal to level headed conservative, Winston Churchill once said “If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not Conservative by 40, you have no brain.” Experience proves this is true. One of the benefits of age is the wisdom that comes along with the gray hair. With a lifetime of experience the differences between liberal and conservative positions are easy to see and articulate. Having a growing family makes turning away from liberal ideas very easy because they don’t work. As the...

By The battle to save America is far from a done deal. The Left is switching to “lifeboat ethics” and it will sell the furniture in the DNC to save its power. They are trapped donkeys which makes them vicious and dangerous. Democrats’ foreign money While the Democrats bray making unsubstantiated charges that Republicans “might be taking foreign money” and their stenographers in the media dutifully report the charge as if it were proved, it is the slimy Democrats who are actually taking foreign money as proved by Federal Election Commission records. The records show GlaxoSmithKline, BAF ( aerospace contractor)...

"What can we do to win back our country?" Conservatives are asking themselves that question -- with increasing urgency -- every day. They are desperately groping for a way to stop the twin avalanches of deficit spending and socialist programs that are hurtling down and shattering the once great mountain of a free republic that was the United States of America. Most of the conservative remedies offered to date (including mine) have been specific policy recommendations: cutting taxes, imposing term limits, or reforming entitlement programs. Something is missing in these propositions. Conservatives have some good suggestions for how to fix...

This election is a referendum on preserving America as we know it. We will decide to either save the America we grew up in or plunge our nation into the gray faceless socialism Barack Obama is promising us. Rarely do we get such a clear cut choice. On one hand we have a candidate telling us he will surrender in our war on terrorism, teardown our economy and destroy our hard won freedoms. On the other we have a candidate that offers hope that we can save what we have and rebuild the firewall of sane government that has made...

CONGRESSIONAL NEGOTIATORS DELIVER LUMP-OF-COAL INTEL BILL TO 9/11 FAMILIES FOR CHRISTMAS; But Tancredo, House Conservatives Claim Partial Victory in Securing Bush Commitment on Addressing Driver’s License Issue Next Year WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Littleton) expressed disappointment with the conference report on the intelligence bill after negotiators on the bill stripped key border security provisions approved by the House of Representatives in October from the bill. Tancredo had been a leader in the effort to retain the provisions – recommended by the 9/11 Commission – executing a parliamentary maneuver prior to the Thanksgiving recess temporarily thwarting efforts to...

FATHER’S LETTER TO HIS SONS THE WORLD SITUATION * A LETTER TO MY SONS This was written by a retired attorney, to his sons, May 19, 2004. Dear Tom, Kevin, Kirby and Ted, As your father, I believe I owe it to you to share some thoughts on the present world situation. We have over the years discussed a lot of important things, like going to college, jobs and so forth. But this really takes precedence over any of those discussions. I hope this might give you a longer term perspective that fewer and fewer of my generation are left...
