Free Republic

Ever since I was old enough learn about "politics," and its practitioners, especially those labeled "third world dictators," I have been railing against those third world dictators. Everyone knew about the “big boys,” like Adolph, Mao and their ilk. But we were not always aware of the “third worlders.” My revulsion and contempt grew proportionally to the increase in my knowledge about how these third world dictators used, abused and killed their own citizens. They succeeded in proving that they were equally adept at creating nests of corruption, where they cruelly raped and pillaged the wealth of their respective countries,...

I have repeatedly written articles about the complete disregard for the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's as well as the disregard for the United States Constitution by elected officials in this State. Today, however, Massachusetts goes above and beyond into what can only be viewed as a true case of Big Brother knocking down the doors of American citizens. Today, by a vote of 113-36, the Massachusetts's House voted to grant the State's Governor the ability to force residents into mandatory vaccination in the event the Governor feels so inclined. It also grants him the right to declare martial...

Must see video... Know your rights!

Newsweek recently ran an article by Fareed Zakaria titled, Learning to Live with Radical Islam. In this article Mr. Zakaria contends that in our quest to prevail over the virulent factions within the fundamentalist Islamic culture we in the West must learn to discern the radical Islamist from the jihadi; the fundamentalist from the terrorist. Although Mr. Zakaria touches on a few noteworthy points – specifically the West’s need to engage in the war of ideas – his thesis that, “We can better pursue our values if we recognize the local and cultural context, and appreciate that people want to...

Sunday, January 25, 2009 Surprise!... Dem's "Stimulus Package" Looks Like Billion $$$ ACORN Bonanza ACORN is the largest radical Leftist group in America today. This radical group worked closely with the Obama campaign during the election. But, the community organizing group was not open about this. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election: One of Barack Obama's first big "community organizer" jobs involved ACORN in 1992. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN this year for voter registration efforts....

"Obama Knew He Wasn't Eligible For POTUS" http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-knew-he-wasnt-eligible-for-potus.html

Perhaps you've noticed an abundance of "Top Ten" lists in recent weeks. As usual, the mainstream media has churned out a variety of year-in-review pieces of late. Two events vied for top billing on all those lists -- the financial meltdown and the presidential election. At present, it isn't clear which of those debacles presents the greater threat to our nation. The factors leading up to the economic collapse in the last two quarters are clear (see Economics 101). What is not clear, however, is whether we can limit the damage to a mere recession. On the other hand, we...

Obama supporters have lampooned Sarah Palin for saying that a vice president is "in charge of the U.S. Senate." That is not a strict reading of the Constitution and its envisioned duties for the vice president, they acidly remark. But what do they care about strict readings of the Constitution? According to them, an evolving or "living" Constitution trumps the literal words of the document.

ordered it right after he was pushed into the public limelight, and she claims that it wasn’t political. Just standard operating procedure. Ohio’s inspector general is investigating why a state agency director approved checking the state child-support computer system for information on “Joe the Plumber.” Helen Jones-Kelly, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, confirmed today that she OK’d the check on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher following the Oct. 15 presidential debate

Nearly 40% of vote forms denied, but registrar sees no intentional foul as group draws fire nationwide Although nearly 40 percent of the 35,000 voter registration applications submitted in Harris County by a community-organizing group accused of fraud in other states were rejected, there is no evidence of intentional manipulation of the voter rolls here, according to the county's voter registrar. Elections officials in more than a dozen states are investigating reports that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, submitted fraudulent registrations. Republican leaders have called for a federal investigation, and GOP presidential nominee John McCain...

It seems too lunatic to be true. But here a hair salon boss reveals how she was driven to the brink of ruin - and forced to pay £4,000 for 'hurt feelings' - after refusing to hire a Muslim stylist who wouldn't show her hair at work For Sarah Desrosiers, meeting Bushra Noah was not a moment in her life that she would describe as especially memorable. Not only was it brief - lasting little more than ten minutes - but it was rapidly obvious to Sarah that Bushra was not the person for the junior stylist position she was...

It was the call for help that launched one of the largest raids on a religious compound in U.S. history. But on Monday, a Child Protective Services attorney asked for the case involving a 16-year-old known as "Sarah," who claimed sexual and physical abuse at the hands of her husband, to be dropped. The state has all but declared the call a hoax after the phone number was traced to a Colorado woman with a history of pretending to be an abused child. The Texas Department of Public Safety even withdrew its arrest warrant against Dale Barlow, alleged husband and...

State Republicans may have to wait until next year to address the issue again, said one local legislator. "We'll try for another special session, but I don't think we can get it," said State Sen. George "Doc" Gunther, a Republican legislator for more than 30 years whose district encompasses Shelton and parts of Stratford and Seymour. "The Democrats can override us." Gunther was highly...

Eminent Domain Awareness: A Proposal I'm looking for volunteers. I got an idea today (I think I hit my head) that I think will push Kelo back into the limelight. I don't want to go into too much detail yet (mostly because I'm still working out a lot of the details), but, as of now, I'm accepting essays and news items for a new site about eminent domain abuse. This is going to be coupled with public distribution of flyers (which will be published so that anybody else can use them as well), and I'm discussing a few other ideas...

At Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C., John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Confederate sympathizer, fatally wounds President Abraham Lincoln. The attack came only five days after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his massive army at Appomattox, effectively ending the American Civil War. Booth, who remained in the North during the war despite his Confederate sympathies, initially plotted to capture President Lincoln and take him to Richmond, the Confederate capital. However, on March 20, 1865, the day of the planned kidnapping, the president failed to appear at the spot where Booth and his six fellow conspirators lay in wait. Two...
